* No matter how badass he gets, some fans (and haters) will just never forgive Midoriya for being timid and ProneToTears, portraying him as a paper-skinned crybaby who bursts into floods of tears at the slightest provocation and happily accepts all of Bakugo's abuse without a single word of complaint.

A lot of characters in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' end up as the butt of the fandom's jokes, be they famous heroes, infamous villains or up-and-coming student.

* Mineta frequently gets hit with this. He spends most of his time as a hero [[ProneToTears crying and whining]] for someone else to save him, his perverted schemes against girls [[LaserGuidedKarma frequently blow up in his face,]] and his "supposed" high intelligence comes off as an InformedAbility. The fact that he's widely considered TheScrappy of the entire series for those exact reasons doesn't help.
* Although he isn't really disliked, a lot of fans will make fun of Ojiro for having a pretty lame Quirk and being a rather [[FlatCharacter "boring" character]] who doesn't do much in the series.
* Tomura Shigaraki initially started off as this with many joking about him being a [[BigBadWannabe "villain wannabe"]] or that he's trying too hard to be evil. His rather odd-looking character design was also the source of many jokes. However, this later diminished when he seriously TookALevelInBadass and became a much more threatening and competent villain. More affectionately, his obsession with video games is also a frequent source of jokes about him behaving like a stereotypical gamer, which especially took off after a flashback in chapter 371 had him mention playing ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', a game with a notoriously toxic playerbase.

!Pro Heroes



* Spinner, who has a mediocre Quirk and tries to imitate Stain so much that he even dresses like him. He's often portrayed as nothing but a {{mook}} due to never winning a fight on his own[[labelnote:*]]While he won against Trumpet and his soldiers, Spinner was backed up by Twice's Sad Man Parade, giving him an infinite self-replicating army helping him[[/labelnote]] and generally being little more than a follower with no goals or aspirations of his own. The fact that he looks like a [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle]] doesn't help.
* Mustard, for having a WeaksauceWeakness (he isn't even immune to his own Quirk) and being taken out rather easily while not contributing much to the story.
* A few fans actually think of Overhaul as this, since his whole villainous operation was shut down fairly quickly and he rather idiotically thought the [[CriminalFoundFamily League of Villains]] would just bow down to him after he killed one of their members, making him look somewhat incompetent as a result. This wasn't helped when he made a reappearance in future arcs, where he's shown to have suffered a complete [[VillainousBreakdown mental breakdown]] due to his incarceration in Tartarus and acts as nothing but TheLoad to Lady Nagant.



* Kotaro Shimura is often called "[[AbusiveParents the worst parent in the entire series]]" (which is saying something), [[spoiler: thanks to his desire for control of his family backfiring ''hard'' on him by inadvertently creating the series' BigBad, as well as making the ''[[TooDumbToLive monumentally stupid decision]]'' to hit his son with a garden tool after he just saw him kill the rest of the family, naturally leading to his death.]]
* All For One began getting this reputation later in the series due to perceived BadassDecay with him showing his true colors as a PsychopathicManchild prone to tantrums as well as his increased BondVillainStupidity. It does not help that a lot of his plans are seen as {{Ass Pull}}s, leading to fandom jokes depicting him as telling BlatantLies about absurdly convoluted and unlikely happenings he could not have possibly foreseen or counted on somehow being secretly part of his plan in a desperate attempt to save face. His fight against [[spoiler: All Might]] during the war certainly didn't help, with many people pointing out that the so-called Demon Lord GreaterScopeVillain was only surviving his battle against [[spoiler: a crippled man without a quirk (albeit, a well-equipped one)]] because he was constantly regenerating. [[spoiler: It only got worst once he turned into a baby then a fetus]]. It go so bad the community had called him “Fraud For One” or “L for One” to mock him.

* A lot of Bakugo's haters enjoy portraying him as this in fan-works, having him be a raging and whiny {{Narcissist}} with a SmallNameBigEgo complex who is [[KarmicButtMonkey repeatedly subjected to brutal karma]], even if it sometimes goes [[KarmicOverkill too far]]. Some of his haters also enjoy bringing up his less-than-stellar track record, particularly how he has yet to defeat any major villains on his own. The fact he sat out between half or two-thirds of the series' FinalBattle (or being more specific being OnlyMostlyDead, which is a detail that has its own discussion) and beats All For One… who is mere seconds away from being done in by his DeadlyUpgrade and completely worn down from fighting almost literally the whole rest of the cast may or may not be of help.

* Endeavor gets a reputation as this similar to Bakugo. Although he's far from incompetent (canon shows he's not only an effective detective, but also an actually good mentor, his TrainingFromHell for Shoto notwithstanding), it's common to see him portrayed in fan-works as a pathetic HeroicWannabe who is constantly whining about how he's AlwaysSecondBest and subjected to [[KarmicButtMonkey truckloads of karma]]. It's also somewhat common to portray him as a negligent BumblingDad who can never gain his children's love and respect.

While he and Kamui Woods chew out Izuku for his actions against the sludge villain, Kamui Woods goes on to have some extremely impressive moments, even joining the Top 10 later on. Unlike him however, Death Arms only has a [[TheCameo couple cameos]] before he [[spoiler:[[ResignedInDisgrace retires from working as a Pro Hero]] due to the [[CantTakeCriticism growing negativity against heroes]]]].
