Owning a useful rescue quirk in My Hero Academia is something that heroes and aspirants are proud of. After all, their quirks allow them to help people in serious trouble, whether through disaster response, urgent medical care, or emergency evacuation. The best part is that these rescue-focused quirks can pay bills and push their rankings in the Hero Billboard Chart.
There are a lot of characters in My Hero Academia with quirks that are perfect for rescue work. Perhaps the best example is One For All, which All Might repeatedly utilized in his life-saving work. Other than One For All, the series also features several quirks that are useful in rescue operations, and here are some of the most exceptional.

Fierce Wings
Quirk User: Hawks
Soaring through the skies of My Hero Academia is Keigo Takami, aka Hawks, with his quirk called Fierce Wings. Just seeing his fiery wings is enough to keep every civilian calm in times of danger, as his feathers can fly them to the safest location in no time.
Time and again, Hawks proves that Fierce Wings isn’t just built for combat, but it’s also a reliable rescue quirk in the series. Every feather he releases can save a life, whether lifting civilians out of a collapsing building or identifying the locations of those who need urgent help.
Warp Gate
Quirk User: Kurogiri
Gaining access to an instant portal would be an incredibly convenient way to rescue people in times of crisis. Kurogiri’s Warp Gate grants him the ability to create portals to another location, making it easy for him to support his allies when necessary. If ever he’s in trouble, he can simply open a portal and escape.
Imagine the Warp Gate’s usefulness if it were to be used for rescue operations. Kurogiri can create a portal from ground zero to any medical facility in an instant. It is time-efficient, allowing wounded victims to receive immediate care and attention. In addition, he could also protect people by whisking them away from enemy attacks in the blink of an eye.
Zero Gravity
Quirk User: Ochako Uraraka
Hiring Ochako Uraraka as part of the post-disaster cleanup crew would be a brilliant idea, as her Zero Gravity quirk allows quick work in lifting heavy debris. She could easily make disaster zones safer in no time with her gravity nullifying quirk.
That doesn’t mean Ochako’s quirk only shines after disasters, as the awakened version of Zero Gravity allows her to float people safely out of harm’s way even without touching them.
Engine
Quirk User: Tenya Iida
Speed is crucial in rescue operations, making Tenya Iida’s Engine quirk even more useful than any other quirk. The gears on his calves grant him incredible acceleration that lets him cover dangerous areas as quickly as possible. Above all else, he can get people to safety in record time with ease.
For most of My Hero Academia, Iida showed how fast he could go to help others, including his classmates. Without him, countless people might not have made it safe in time, showing just how vital a speedster like Iida truly is.
Black Hole
Quirk User: Thirteen
When it comes to Pro Heroes who specialize in search and rescue, Anan Kurose, aka Thirteen, is one of the first names that comes to the minds of the fans. After all, she has a rescue-focused quirk called Black Hole that gets the job done efficiently.
Black Hole gives Thirteen the ability to replicate the suction effect of a black hole in her fingers, allowing her to clear rubble, debris, and any other obstacles that block escape routes or delay emergency efforts.
Creation
Quirk User: Momo Yaoyorozu
Fans refer to Momo Yaoyorozu as the “Swiss knife” of search and rescue operations due to her Creation quirk. She can create anything as long as she understands the object’s molecular structure, after all. Be it a weapon or a piece of medical equipment, Momo is the girl to rely on.
Depending on the disaster, Momo can materialize life-saving devices, from makeshift bridges and ladders to heavy machinery capable of clearing rubble. Just name it, and Momo can create it on the spot.
Overhaul
Quirk User: Kai Chisaki
While Kai Chisaki mostly used his quirk to terrorize the heroes, Overhaul also has massive potential for rescue operations. With Overhaul, Kai has full control of matter that allows him to alter his environment. He can obliterate anything that he touches or fix collapsed structures. His power is not limited to physical objects, as Overhaul also allows him to heal people far better than Recovery Girl. More impressively, he can restore someone’s lost limbs.
One For All
Quirk User: All Might
All Might has saved countless people during his tenure as One For All’s eighth holder. His viral video, which showed him rescuing civilians with a wide grin on his face, has become so iconic that it’s forever engraved in the hearts of people, heroes, and villains alike.
Even in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, All Might never failed in coming to the aid of those who are in need. As long as he’s on the lookout, no civilian or hero goes unprotected. His One For All quirk simply makes the impossible possible for him. To put it simply, One For All allows him to save people even before they can react to him.
