The world of My Hero Academia features a colorful variety of characters, including student heroes like Izuku, caped pro heroes who keep the streets safe, and all kinds of chilling villains and criminals. These characters vary not just in their costumes, but also in their personalities and even their size.
Some My Hero Academia characters are visually distinct with their mutant-type Quirks, colorful hair, or their height, and some characters are much taller than others. While Minoru Mineta and Fumikage Tokoyami rank among the shortest boys in My Hero Academia, other male characters are quite tall and tower over most other MHA characters.
10 Vlad King Measures 194 Centimeters
Vlad King is the homeroom teacher of U.A.'s Class 1-B, and he takes great pride in his class, even if that class is often overshadowed by Class 1-A. Vlad pushes his 20 students hard to better themselves and prove their worth, and he and Neito Monoma are known to get overzealous about it at times.
Despite his antics, Vlad King is a reliable and trustworthy hero and teacher, and his students have learned a lot from him. As for his combat technique, the huge Vlad King can manipulate his own blood outside his body and use it to capture his foes. He once did that to a clone of Dabi, for example.
9 Endeavor Measures 195 Centimeters
The new #1 pro hero, the flaming Endeavor, was known for his intense rivalry with the former top hero, All Might himself. Now Endeavor is at the top, meaning he has just one nemesis remaining - himself. Endeavor must contend with his brutal past and somehow atone for what he did to his wife and children.
Endeavor is making slow but steady progress with his family, and his career is coming along well, too. He is confident that he can save the world as the new symbol of peace, and he was also an excellent mentor to Izuku, Shoto, and Katsuki Bakugo in Season 5.
8 Muscular Measures 200 Centimeters
Muscular is a melee fighter with a thirst for hero blood. He is the one who killed Kota Izumi's hero parents, and at one point, he even threatened Kota's life until Izuku showed up to save the day. Muscular didn't even care that much about the League of Villains' mission - he just wanted to go on a rampage.
Muscular is a tall, brawny, and tough villain who would be a serious challenge for any pro hero who got in his way, and it was a miracle Izuku defeated him at all. It took a 1,000,000% Smash to finally knock this massive villain out and save Kota's life.
7 Flect Turn Measures 200 Centimeters
Flect Turn is the main villain in the movie My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission, a tall and imposing villain who is convinced that Quirks are a disease. He suffered loneliness and rejection due to his own Quirk, so he's projecting that misery on the entire human race. All Quirks are condemned in his eyes.
Flect Turn is a huge but primarily defensive villain who saw no need to take lives with his own hand to get the job done. Instead, he uses his Quirk to redirect his foe's energy back at them, hence his villain name of "Flect Turn." In the end, though, he couldn't stand up to One For All.
6 Death Arms Measures 205 Centimeters
Death Arms is one of many everyday pro heroes who appears now and then in My Hero Academia, similar to Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods. His unnamed Quirk grants him formidable strength in his arms, suggesting that he's a melee-oriented hero.
Death Arms is a huge and well-muscled hero who can easily beat ordinary criminals and villains into a pulp until the police arrive, and he has a tough attitude to match. He has little patience for young heroes who rashly run off to save the day, for example. He's a cautious one.
5 Chimera Measures 208 Centimeters
Chimera is a villain who appeared in the second movie, My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising. He was one of the villain Nines' best subordinates, and true to his name, Chimera has a body made up of parts from different animals. He is primarily a wolf, but he also has avian features, such as his clawed hands, and a lizard tail.
Chimera was a serious threat for even Class 1-A's best students, such as Shoto Todoroki, and he is determined to strike back at the society that rejects him for being a heteromorph. The villain Spinner knows what that feels like.
4 Big Red Dot Measures 215 Centimeters
Big Red Dot is one of several pro heroes who made their debut in World Heroes Mission, and he is one of the top heroes from the island nation of Singapore. He didn't say or do a whole lot in that movie, but this lion-headed hero did leave an impression with his massive physique and cool costume.
Big Red Dot is clearly a strong fellow, but he can do more than punch and kick villains. He can also emit powerful water jets from his mouth for ranged attacks, and that makes him much more flexible in battle.
3 All Might Measures 220 Centimeters
The invincible All Might was once Japan's #1 hero, and he had a physique to match. He is well known for his Superman-inspired outfit, his American theme, his ever-present smile, and, of course, his incredibly brawny physique, like that of a Greek god.
All Might can prevent crime with his presence alone, and when a hero looks like that, no criminal would dare make a move. However, All Might's tall, well-muscled form is not his true form - his real form is tall, but skinny and lanky, even skeletal. No one must ever see it, or the illusion will be shattered.
2 Fat Gum Measures 250 Centimeters
Fat Gum is the tallest known pro hero in operation, and he towers over most My Hero Academia characters, including the other men. He is known for his rotund body, loaded with body fat that can absorb any blow or even absorb other people. His big gut is his best weapon.
Fat Gum is tall and wide, and he has a big heart to match. He takes his duty quite seriously, but any chance he gets, he'll relax, have fun, and treat his interns more like friends than co-workers. He's easy to get along with.
1 Gigantomachia Measures 2,500 Centimeters
By far the tallest My Hero Academia character, the villain Gigantomachia was once All For One's personal bodyguard, and after the events of the My Villain Academia arc, he is now Tomura Shigaraki's loyal minion. The world has never seen a villain like this before.
As his titanic size would suggest, Gigantomachia has incredible strength and endurance, and most attacks bounce harmlessly off of him, even for weeks at a time. He battled what remain of the League for a solid month and still didn't go down. Truly impressive.
