Mr. Compress (Atsuhiro Sako) is a former magician who uses theatrical techniques. His Quirk allows him to compress any object (and people) into tiny marbles.

Artificial Weapons: NomuThe League's most important fighting force is the Nomu—mindless, humanoid monsters. They are human corpses modified by Dr. Kyudai Garaki. Their bodies are modified to withstand multiple quirks simultaneously (such as super strength and instant regeneration), making them deadly opponents even for top heroes.

All for One is the mastermind and shadow leader. An ancient supervillain who financed the League and created it as a tool to cultivate his successor, Tomura Shigaraki.

Tomura Shigaraki (Tenko Shimura) is the official leader of the League. Initially, he acted like a childish and capricious "gamer," viewing terrorist attacks as a game. However, as the story progressed, Tomura evolved into a cold, calculating, and frighteningly powerful leader, driven by a pure desire to destroy a world that once ignored his childhood trauma. He possesses the Quirk "Decay."

The League's core (Vanguard)The League's inner circle consists of social outcasts, each of whom joined the group for personal, tragic reasons:

Himiko Toga is a mentally unstable runaway girl with a unique Quirk called "Transformation" (she takes on the appearance of those whose blood she drinks). Because of this Quirk, she has suffered from a morbid craving for blood since childhood, leading society to label her a monster.

Kurogiri is Shigaraki's loyal bodyguard and the League's coordinator. He possesses the Quirk "Warp Gate," which allows him to transport people through portals of black fog. He is actually a Nomu created from the body of Aizawa's deceased friend, Oboro Shirakumo.

Musutafu is a large, vibrant, and technologically advanced coastal metropolis. The city combines the hallmarks of modern urban Japan with a unique infrastructure designed specifically for a superhero society. Its proximity to the ocean and the rolling hills of Shizuoka Prefecture give Musutafu a picturesque appearance, but behind its facade lies one of the most secure, yet dangerous, cities in the country. This is where all the action takes place.
The city is designed to withstand constant clashes between heroes and villains. Musutafu's streets feature: Wide Avenues: Roads and sidewalks are made more spacious to allow Pro Heroes (including giants like Lady Mountain) to move freely and fight without instantly destroying residential buildings. Futuristic Elements: Automated emergency notification systems, surveillance drones, and advanced vandal-proof structures are installed throughout.

Alpha and Beta Test Sites: Simulated city blocks with roads, buildings, and intersections for practicing patrols and fighting villains.
Alliance of Heights Dormitory: A complex of buildings built for security purposes, each class (1-A, 1-B, etc.) lives in a separate building. Each student has their own spacious room.

Heroic Faculty (Classes A and B): The most popular course. Students study the basics, but the emphasis is on combat training, rescue operations, and obtaining a Provisional Hero License.
Technical Department (Support Course): This is where inventors (like Mei Hatsume) study. They create, repair, and improve hero costumes and gadgets to suit their Quirks.
General Department: A course for those who failed the combat exam (such as Hitoshi Shinso). They study the standard curriculum but have a chance to transfer to the Heroic Department if they perform well at the Sports Festival.
Faculty of Management: This department trains future agents, PR specialists, and marketers who will promote heroes in the ratings and manage their agencies.

The superpower pandemic: Following this, other children with unique anomalies began to be born all over the world. The cause of this surge is still unclear, but official science in the MHA world believes it to be the result of a sudden genetic mutation or an unknown virus that restructured human DNA. The Age of Chaos: When quirks became widespread, old laws ceased to apply. People who used power for crimes (the first villains) appeared. Society plunged into a long period of anarchy and war. Because of this, human scientific and technological progress was hindered: as the plot notes, if not for the emergence of Quirks, humans would already be traveling interstellar distances. Stabilization and the emergence of Heroes: Over time, countries adapted, passed new laws, and officially established the profession of Professional Hero to curb crime. In the modern Deku era, approximately 80% of the Earth's population possesses Quirks.
