Tomura is easily the strongest known character in the story right now, as was seen during the Paranormal Liberation War arc where he put on quite a show right until the very end. While already powerful at the beginning of the arc, he kept getting stronger throughout the war and gained multiple powers as the arc progressed towards its end.

10 Gained The Strength Of All Might

Shigaraki underwent surgery which made him extremely powerful shortly prior to the Paranormal Liberation War arc. Its powers were only revealed during the arc and one of the biggest assets that he gained was strength that was comparable to that of All Might.

This was seen when he fought Endeavor, who compared his powers to All Might's despite having all his Quirks erased by Aizawa using his Erasure power.

9 He Became Faster Than Gran Torino

Strength is just one of the many powers that Shigaraki Tomura got access to during this arc. The surgery he went through also boosted his speed to sky-high levels and he is now fast enough to evade and even overwhelm the likes of Endeavor in battle.

What's more, he was seen matching and even surpassing Gran Torino, one of the fastest Heroes, without much trouble at all and hitting him before he even realized what came his way.

8 He Gained All For One

All For One arguably the strongest known Quirk in the world of My Hero Academia and it was formerly wielded by All For One himself. Prior to his fight with All Might, he planned to have his Quirk transferred to Shigaraki while he himself kept a duplicate of it.

With the power of All For One, Shigaraki has become quite powerful and a match for the likes of Izuku Midoriya at 100% of his powers.

7 He Gained Full Control Over The Nomu

It goes without saying that Shigaraki Tomura is powerful right now and can take on a dozen of powerful Heroes all by himself, but he doesn't have to. During the Paranormal Liberation War arc, he also gained complete control over the Nomu.

Using his abilities, Shigaraki can trigger them into action and make them fight on his behalf, just as he did during the War arc. Truly, he is the strongest villain in the world of My Hero Academia right now.

Search is a Quirk that formerly belonged to none other than Ragdoll of the Wild Wild Pussycats. This Quirk was stolen from her by All For One shortly before the events of the Kamino district.

After having acquired All For One, Shigaraki also gained the power of the Search Quirk and it allows him to locate and monitor a bunch of people at once and even find their weak points in just a few seconds.

5 He Made Decay Even Stronger

Shigaraki's primary Quirk, known as Decay, was getting consistently more powerful with each passing arc. During the Paranormal Liberation War arc, Decay hit a whole new level and was able to level cities within seconds. Any living or non-living thing in contact with Shigaraki got reduced to dust in an instant.

This Quirk is easily one of the most powerful ones ever in the story and it might get further stronger from here on out.

4 He Gained The Power Of Air Cannon

Air Cannon is a Quirk that belonged to an unnamed person at some point in My Hero Academia. It was stolen by All For One and used against All Might when the two fought for the second time in Kamino. Later on, this Quirk was also transferred to Shigaraki Tomura, along with the All For One Quirk.

Its power is immense and it lets Shigaraki produce a blast of shockwave so powerful that it can destroy nearly anything in its path. Truly, this is a Quirk to be feared.

3 He Gained The Power Of Super Regeneration

Super Regeneration is a powerful ability that the Nomus have used several times in the My Hero Academia story. It allows them to regenerate from nearly any damage within a few seconds and this power was also transferred to Shigaraki Tomura during the War arc.

The only way around this power is to damage them faster than they can regenerate, as seen when All Might fought against the USJ Nomu or when Endeavor took on Hood in battle.

2 He Gained The Power Of Radio Waves

Another Quirk that Shigaraki got access to during the War arc is Radio Waves. While this Quirk wasn't used by him extensively, it did help him to a great degree. Using its powers and combining them with Air Cannon, Shigaraki was able to launch a wave so massive that it shut down all the communication systems of the Heroes.

This is also the power that lets him awaken the Nomus but it does much more than just that and also lets him malfunction any kind of communication device that he wants.

1 He Gained Access To Rivet Stab

All For One in My Hero Academia.

Rivet Stab was one of the most used powers of All For One and it allowed him to produce black extensions from his fingers that could cut or stab anyone in his path. This power was passed on to Shigaraki Tomura along with All For One and it boosted his skills further.

It was used to pierce the body of Endeavor after he launched a massive Prominence Burn towards Shigaraki and later, intended to kill Izuku Midoriya. However, Bakugo pushed him out of the way and took the attack instead.
