Delving into the domain of My Hero Academia, a realm teeming with valiant Pro Heroes fighting to safeguard the populace and uphold justice. From the towering Symbol of Peace, All Might, to the enigmatic shadows where heroes like Eraserhead reside, the diversity among these heroes is vast.
With over 110 unique Pro Heroes introduced in My Hero Academia, each bearing distinct identities, costumes, and quirks, it's no surprise that a considerable number have slipped from public memory, overlooked by both fans and in-universe characters. Let's shine a light on some of these intriguing but forgotten Pro Heroes.
10 Backdraft
A Firefighter Hero Debuting in Chapter 1
- First Seen: Manga (Chapter 1) Anime (Episode 1)
Backdraft, introduced in the inaugural chapter of My Hero Academia, was among the first Pro Heroes showcased. Despite his unique water-based quirk and firefighter-themed attire, he remained relegated to background appearances, never stepping into the limelight.
9 Airjet
Largely Utilized for World-building
- First Seen: Manga (Chapter 1) Anime (Episode 17)
Airjet, a hero introduced early on, primarily served as a device to enrich the series' lore. Despite sporadic appearances across various My Hero Academia iterations, Airjet's role remained peripheral, notably referenced by Deku in a conversation about heroes employing jet packs.
8 Slugger
An Unfulfilled Potential in the Background
- First Seen: Manga (Chapter 1) Anime (Episode 2)
Engaged briefly during the Sludge Villain crisis, Slugger's baseball-themed persona hinted at untapped depths. Unfortunately, this potential remained unrealized as Slugger vanished post his initial appearance, denying audiences a glimpse of his heroics.
