The Journey and Power of Izuku Midoriya

Bro, just bro. Izuku Midoriya, despite his small stature, ends up stronger than all might and Bakugo. If you haven't noticed in the My Hero Academia series, Izuku Midoriya often overworks himself, yet his body cannot withstand any of it. However, when it comes to his courage, he has no limit to how powerful he is.

Extreme Power and Courage

Described as extremely powerful, Izuku Midoriya has access to seven quirks: One For All, Blackwhip, Float, Danger Sense, Smokescreen, Fa Jin, and Gearshift. Together, these quirks contribute to his immense power and potential.

One For All and His Evolution

One For All, for example, allows him to drastically increase his physical strength in just a few blows or improve his overall physical ability. Izuku has evolved Full Cowl to where he can maintain it at 45 consistently. He can use Blackwhip, Fa Jin, and Gearshift to use One For All consistently without any backlash, rivaling or surpassing the likes of All Might in his prime. As the manga progresses, this could be far above his current capabilities.

Real Power and Comparison

To give an idea of his power, consider his performance in My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising: Final Detroit Smash. A 100-punch combo, assisted by Katsuki, destroyed a thunderstorm larger than the island, pushing him to a level equivalent to a large island to a small country.

Izuku can even go toe-to-toe with Shigaraki, who caught lasers in his battle with Star and Stripes. This suggests his reaction time is at least relativistic, or faster than light. While it's difficult to accurately measures his speed, he can be placed around the realm of massively hypersonic to relativistic.

Other Quirks

Blackwhip is a powerful ability, emitting incredibly strong black tentacles that can save lives, swing from building to building, grab opponents, or safeguard his arms while using One For All. Float allows him to fly, though he needs to rely on his other abilities like Air Force or Fa Jin to gain significant acceleration.

His Danger Sense alerts him to any danger or malicious intent through a sharp, stabbing pain in his head. Smokescreen acts as cover or a means of escape, while Fa Jin gives him a massive boost of power after sufficient repetitive movement. Gearshift allows him to bend the laws of physics by changing the speed of anything he touches through space. On top of this, Air Force can be utilized through his gauntlets to shoot small air blasts.

Comprehensive Skill Set

In addition to his quirks, Izuku has a vast knowledge of martial arts and a highly developed battle IQ. These attributes contribute to his overall strength and effectiveness in battle.

A Continual Journey

While Izuku may appear to be at his peak, at just 16 years old, we can only assume his strength will continue to increase. This is the story of how Izuku Midoriya became the greatest hero, and his journey has only just begun.
