As the final season approaches, the fates of the world's greatest heroes hang in the balance as Shiguraki threatens the entire planet. While My Hero Academia has some truly phenomenal characters who make huge impacts as heroes, there are quite a few that would be suited for other work. Specifically, many characters in My Hero Academia would make fantastic teachers.

Creati

A Brilliant Tactician That Could Improve Student Adaptability

Creati is a major component of Class 1-A and makes a significant impact in action with her brilliant tactical mind and versatile quirk. Able to conjure any number of inorganic items from her body using her Creation quirk, Momo can turn the tide of a fight around in an instant.

My Hero Academia is packed with iconic female characters, and that includes both heroes and villains. Here are the best MHA girls.

There is no question that Creati's abilities and prowess make her an exceptional hero. However, the drawback of her quirk leaves her vulnerable. Instead of placing her life at risk, she could also make an impact by shaping the next generation with combat training, teaching her students to think further ahead in a pinch.

Phantom Thief

A Wild Card Who Could Make Students Become Closer to Their Quirks

Neito, also known as Phantom Thief, is one of the most eccentric students in UA Academy. From his debut, he gives off a very villainous aura, but is a truly dedicated hero through and through. Utilizing his Copy quirk, he can fabricate other people's quirks to a certain extent. Even with his erratic personality, Neito proved incredibly valuable on the battlefield and could be a great hero. However, if he were to venture into education, he could help students become closer to their quirks and discover ways to utilize them that they may not have considered initially.

Anima

A Soft-Spoken Hero Who Would Be Great At Bringing Out Hidden Talents

Anima is a kind-hearted individual who abhors violence and is not particularly suited for the combat-oriented world of heroics. Nonetheless, he continues to contribute to his allies as a hero, walking his own path. With his Anivoice quirk, Koda can communicate with every type of animal, which would be helpful in specific situations. Alternatively, Koda's quirk could be invaluable with any number of students by giving them a new perspective and helping them adapt their thinking to things they see around them every day. Koda would undoubtedly be a favorite teacher who paid special attention to each of his students, thereby improving their self-esteem and growth.

Endeavor

A Seasoned Hero With Exceptional Instruction Skills

Endeavor is a pivotal character in My Hero Academia and one of the strongest heroes in the series who unleashes his explosive power against evil. With a long and complicated history, Endeavor ultimately sacrificed much of his body to become a protector and redeem himself to his family. While his position as Number One hero is well deserved, the toll on his body will no doubt lead him down the same path as All Might. Should Endeavor become an instructor, he could bring out the full potential in every student, as shown when he took Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo under his wing.

Rock Lock

The Perfect Candidate To Ensure The Preparation Of The Next Generation

Rock Lock was not a hero who received a large amount of screen time. Debuting in the Shie Hasaikai Raid arc, he demonstrated a stern attitude about allowing children to participate in scenarios involving adults. Rock Lock's quirk allows him to lock down objects in a certain position, a handy quirk that he uses to the fullest extent. Rock Lock would be better suited as a UA Academy teacher due to his ideals and principles. Ensuring that children remain children, but still obtain the skills needed to succeed would be a walk in the park for his character.

Nighteye

An invaluable Mind And Quirk That Could Spot The Top Potential Of Every Student

Nighteye has a very long history as a hero in My Hero Academia, initially serving as a sidekick to All Might. Together, he and All Might accomplished immeasurable good thanks to All Might's strength and his procognition quirk.

Unfortunately, the dynamic duo split, and Nighteye turned his back on All Might, fearing his fall. Instead, he founded a hero company, scouting potentia replacements for All Might's power. Nighteye could have done more good by becoming a teacher and sculpting tomorrow's heroes, instead of focusing on those who could have been All-Might's replacement.

Edgeshot

Perfect For Bringing Students Out Of Their Comfort Zone

Edgeshot is the ninja hero, ranked fourth in My Hero Academia, who has a unique quirk that allows him to alter his body. Utilizing his Foldabody quirk, Edgeshot can unravel his body like a ball of yarn and perform extremely swift and precise attacks that can leave numerous foes incapacitated.

While strong, this power comes at the cost of Edgeshot's health and lifespan. To lessen the toll on his well-being, an administrative role testing potential heroes would probably be a better role for him. 3Edgeshot has demonstrated undying resolve in the face of evil, making him a perfect role model for the heroes of the future.

Deku

Able To Understand The World Of Heroes ON A Much Deeper Level Than Most

Deku's journey from a quirkless individual to the world's number one hero is a magnificent adventure that is slowly drawing to a close in the final season of My Hero Academia, releasing later this year. While a phenomenal hero who proved that it's what's inside that counts, Deku made an impact on the world that will never be felt across entire nations. With the climax of My Hero Academia, Deku became the number four pro hero. Now that he is returning to being quirkless, Deku is a perfect candidate for being a teacher, thanks to his attention to detail and exceptional strategic thinking. Retiring would give Deku's body and soul the rest they deserve.

In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
