Who is the Worst Pro-Hero in My Hero Academia?

The Contenders

Enkiduu Endeavor: Actions

Enkiduu Endeavor, often hailed as the greatest hero in the entire series, is a mixed bag when it comes to character development. While he initially comes across as a selfish, possibly child-abusing figure, his redemption arc is commendable. Despite his violent tendencies towards Izuku Midoriya (the boy with the top quirk strength), his eventual change for the better is a positive turn for the storyline. However, his arrogance and the way he distances himself from his fans certainly doesn't win him many points from the audience.

Wash: Both Idk

If you’ve ever needed a strawman, this is your guy. Wash is the epitome of an unpopular character. The sole purpose of his dialogue is to repeat a meaningless word, “Wash.” His repetition can be incredibly annoying and contributes to the frustration many viewers feel towards this character. While his character in the manga might be somewhat likable, it’s clear that a better voice actor or a more engaging voice in the anime adaptation is needed to make him more enjoyable.

Mount Lady: Actions

Mount Lady is perhaps one of the most flawed characters in the series. Her character is a stark reminder of what happens when a hero fails to live up to their responsibilities. While she displays innocent traits, her reliance on others like Mineta to handle her household chores is a sign of her laziness and dependency. Her performance in the first episode of the series reinforces the idea that she doesn’t fully contribute to the betterment of society, failing to exemplify the values of a hero. Her attempts at projecting an air of innocence are ultimately undermined by her actions.

The Chosen Contender

Native: A Side Character Turned Worst Among Pros

One of the most forgettable and worst pro-heroes in the series is Native. Native is a side character who appears in Season 2 during the Stain arc. Despite initial injury and his inability to even protect himself, Native fails to contribute meaningfully to the overall plot. When the more capable heroes like Deku and Todoroki step up to defeat Stain, Native is a mere spectator, showcasing his underwhelming heroics. Furthermore, his off-screen death during the Paranormal Liberation War arc only accentuates how irrelevant he was to the main narrative. Native represents the worst kind of pro-hero – one who is so ineffective that he is simply expendable.

Pro-Heroes Quitting Post-War

A final contender for the title of the worst pro-hero could be those who quit their duties post-war, remaining bystanders rather than active participants. When the cities are in chaos, these heroes are needed the most. Characters who disengage from the fight and choose to sit on the sidelines do a disservice to their cause and their fans. Post-war, they should have been leading the charge to rebuild and restore order, but instead, they chose to fade into the background. This decision is not only unbecoming of a pro-hero but also counterproductive to the recovery of their communities.

Conclusion

Among all the contenders, Enkiduu Endeavor remains the most controversial as he holds a mixed legacy. However, Native stands out as a prime example of a hero who was completely forgettable and ineffective. The pro-heroes who quit post-war fall into a similar category of abandon and irrelevance.
