Heroes (ヒーロー, Hīrō?) are individuals who are licensed to use their Quirks to protect civilians from Villains, natural disasters, and/or any other kind of harm.
Those who take heroism as a profession are referred to as Pro Heroes (プロヒーロー, Puro Hīrō?). Overall Hero activity across the globe is managed by the World Heroes Association.
A Hero Name is a code name a Pro Hero chooses to identify themselves with. A Hero-in-training may choose a temporary Hero Name in high school. While these high school names are not necessarily meant to be their permanent alias, Pro Heroes are often known by the name they first pick, as it is what they'll come to be known as.
Hero Names are considered very important to a professional Hero career, as they can bring a person closer to the image they may want to cement, and are also able to reflect their true character. For example, Toshinori Yagi wanted to be the champion of good whom everyone could believe in, so he chose the name, All Might. Enji Todoroki dedicated his life to proving himself to be the strongest and become the No. 1 Pro Hero in the country, so he chose the name Endeavor.
Heroes often use names that describe their Quirks, or are at least based on their Quirks; Keigo Takami has a pair of bird-like wings on his back, so he uses the name, Hawks. Tsunagu Hakamada is able to manipulate fabric threads, denim especially, so he uses the name, Best Jeanist. Taishiro Toyomitsu goes by the name, Fat Gum, as he is able to make things sink into his body fat.
A Hero Name does not necessarily have to be original. Some people may choose to use the same name, or a very similar name, as an already existing and well-known Hero that is no longer active. By doing so, they have the opportunity to keep the legacy of their idol alive. However, this comes with the responsibility and pressure of living up to the level of greatness displayed by the Hero who originally used the name. It is also possible for Heroes to simply be known as their own given or family name if they so wish, as seen with Shoto, Nejire Chan and Gran Torino. Furthermore, students who do not decide on a Hero Name or are yet to choose one are simply called by their surnames, as shown with Katsuki Bakugo and Kosei Tsuburaba.
Heroes can also go by separate aliases in different countries and regions, as seen with O'Clock, a Japanese Hero, who was also known as "Hyper Quadfist" in China.
Hero and Villain Names are revealed to have originated from a past theory where people came up with aliases for anonymous enemies, or used them to hide their own true identities. Eventually, they went all in with code names adapted straight from comic books, leading to the naming systems that are used today.
A Pro Hero will wear a distinguishing costume that helps the public to recognize them and distinguish them from other Heroes. Costumes come in a wide variety, from bodysuits, to spacesuits, to armor, depending on the abilities and style preferences of the wearer.
Costumes are generally tailored specifically to the Hero their made for, in order to amplify their abilities and weaken their drawbacks. Costumes tend to come with support gear that can augment the wears skills and powers; Katsuki Bakugo has gauntlets that store up his excess palm sweat and release a powerful blast that is beyond what he can do on his own. A Costume can also limit or remove the downsides of the wearers Quirk; Ochaco Uraraka's Costume is designed to stimulate pressure points that decrease nausea, and Mirio Togata's costume is made from a fabric synthesized from his hair, so it turns intangible when his body does.
Every once in a while, a Hero might decide to change some of the details of their costume and/or add new support items. This can happen if a Hero wishes to try a new fighting style, if they discover something new about their Quirk, or if they simply wish to try something new. The costumes base design will usually stay the same though.
Occasionally, a Hero might temporarily wear an alternate Costume for varying reasons. An example of this is a Winter Costume, which can help the wearer stay warm during colder months. Another example is a Stealth Costume, such as the ones that Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto wore during the conflict against Humarise. These alternate Costumes usually bear a strong resemblance to the Heroes regular ones, save for a few changes to their look and design.
A Hero License is a certification that allows Pro Heroes to use their Quirks freely. The concept of the Hero License system was first developed and established in Rhode Island in the USA, around the time that Quirks first appeared. It was done in hopes of restoring order to society, which had descended into chaos following the phenomenon of people being born with superpowers.
In order to obtain a Hero License, one must complete all three years of heroics education in high school. It is currently unknown if there is an actual test that one is required to pass in order to receive their License.
The act of using ones Quirk in public without a license is illegal, even if they use it to save lives or stop criminals. Quirks are seen as too dangerous for untrained civilians without a license to use, as there is a significant risk of unintentionally hurting someone or damaging property.
There are exceptions to the rule that allow unlicensed individuals to use their Quirks; during Izuku Midoriya's internship with Gran Torino, the elder Hero decided to take Izuku out to fight real low level bad guys, so he would not develop bad habits from only fighting against Gran Torino's Quirk. Though not explicitly stated, this implies that Pro Heroes can grant the temporary privilege of Quirk use to their protégés. The Hero Public Safety Commission can also grant this privilege; during what was set to be the final battle with All For One, the acting Commission President gave Hitoshi Shinso permission to use his Quirk. Other than that, it is not illegal for a civilian to use their Quirk in public if it is for exceptional circumstances, such as self-defence.
Most Heroes work alone, not counting their Sidekicks, but occasionally they will team up and work together with other Heroes in the field on various missions. These team ups usually happen on the spot while the Heroes are responding to a crisis, as such, they don't really get to choose who they work together with and have to adapt to their new partners abilities. Alternatively, for the larger operations, such as the raid on the League of Villains hideout, Heroes are called in and teamed up ahead of time, allowing them to select certain individuals to work together with and come up with strategies.
Heroes don't only team up for their combat abilities, it can also be done for practical reasons. When Sir Nighteye called in multiple Pro Heroes to help take down the Shie Hassaikai, he selected Heroes based on who had the most knowledge about the areas where the Hassaikai had bases set up.
In some cases, Heroes form a permanent team, even having multiple owner Heroes at a single agency as opposed to the usual one owner Hero. This is usually done if the agency is geared toward a specific type of crisis relief and/or if the Heroes have Quirks that compliment and help each other. One example is the Wild, Wild Pussycats, a team that specializes in mountain rescues; Ragdoll could locate lost or injured people, Mandalay could send evacuation instructions to rescuees, Tiger could squeeze into tight spaces to get to people who are trapped, and Pixie Bob could manipulate a mountains mineral to help save people.
Aside from the obvious benefits of working together with other Heroes, such as strength in numbers and compensating for each other's weaknesses, a Hero team is able to achieve things that a singular Hero would normally be unable to. For example, they can piggyback on each other's popularity, garnering attention from the public and elevating their collective Hero ranking.
The Hero Network, also referred to as the "HN", is a website that can only be accessed by Pro Heroes. It contains activity reports of Pro Heroes across the country, as well as information on known Villains, including their names and Quirks.
Heroes can also use the Hero Network to send requests for assistance to other Heroes who possess a Quirk that may be useful for a determined crisis.
As the name suggests, Villain Insurance is a form of financial indemnity that covers damages and destruction caused by villains whenever a Hero fights or is in the process of capturing one. It is described as a must-have for any hero.
Despite this, the coverage this insurance provides is still limited, as one of Mt Lady's assistants stated that in spite of it, as well as her Hero Exemption, that her agency's finances were still in the red from the public property damages she caused during her debut.
Biannually, all Heroes and Hero Teams in Japan are ranked by an event called the Japanese Hero Billboard Charts. The rating is determined by various factors, including a Hero's level of strength, number of resolved incidents, contributions to society, and public approval. An event is held to introduce the top 10 Heroes to the public.
The higher a Hero ranks on the charts, the higher their wages and the greater their prestige, allowing them to build bigger agencies and spread their influence. The top 10 Heroes in particular are known all across the country. It is these rankings and the chance to climb higher that serves as motivation for many Pro Heroes and numerous Hero students desire to one day hold the title of No. 1, or at least work as a Sidekick for one of the top 10.
All Might used to be the No. 1 Hero until his retirement, after which Endeavor unofficially assumed the No. 1 spot. Endeavor officially became the No. 1 Hero only after it was announced at the event.
The ratings presented at the event are the overall rankings and the individual factors that determine them may contrast the rankings. For example, in terms of popularity alone, Best Jeanist ranks first, Hawks ranks second, Edgeshot ranks third, and Endeavor ranks fourth.
