A few of the main characters from My Hero Academia. From left to right: Tenya Iida, Ochako Uraraka, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugo and Shōto Todoroki.

The My Hero Academia manga and anime series features a vast world with an extensive cast of characters created by Kōhei Horikoshi. The series takes place in a fictional world where, currently, more than 80% of the Earth's population possesses some form of superhuman ability, commonly referred to as "Quirks;” the appearance of these abilities has given rise to not only professional heroes, but also the threat of villains.

U.A. High School

The main setting of the series; U.A. High School (雄英高校, Yūei Kōkō) is considered by many the top hero school in Japan.

Eventually, Izuku finds out that One for All contains the quirks of the previous users [3]While he initially disliked being called "Deku", Izuku is inspired by Ochaco's assumption that it was based on the word dekiru (できる, to be able to/to be capable of) to embrace the moniker and ultimately adopts it as his Hero name.

The Vanguard Action Squad (開闢行動隊, Kaibyaku Kōdō Tai) is a team made up of ten members who are most are new recruits in the League of Villains whose mission is to kidnap Bakugo in a scheme to recruit him to the League of Villains. Most of the Squad that has appeared thus far are young people inspired by the infamous Stain or more specifically inspired by a corrupted version of his ideals that calls for the creation of a world ruled by the strong rather than the just world that Stain dreamed of. Following All for One's arrest, the remaining members became part of Tomura's inner circle and later lieutenants in the Paranormal Liberation Front.

Meta Liberation Army

The Meta Liberation Army (異能解放軍, Inō Kaihō-gun, M.L.A.) is a large, powerful organization of Villains originally founded and led by Chikara Yotsubashi (四ツ橋主税, Yotsubashi Chikara), a man who gained notoriety as the Villain Destro (デストロ, Desutoro). They refer to Quirks as Meta Abilities (メタ能力, Meta Nōryoku) and believe they should be used freely instead of being regulated, causing them to commit acts of terrorism before the group was defeated and disbanded with Destro imprisoned. TheDestro published an autobiography describing his ideals before committing suicide, the book having continued to be published as it inspires a new version of the Meta Liberation Army based at Deika City (泥花市, Deika-shi) in the Aichi Prefecture. Under the command of Destro's son with an army of 100,000, its members being 90% of the Deika City's population with Pro Heroes, the Meta Liberation Army sets its sights on destroying the League of Villains after deeming them a hindrance to their cause. But the Meta Liberation Army ends up being utterly defeated, with its surviving members drafted into the League as it reinvented itself into the Paranormal Liberation Front with the MLA's surviving leadership becoming lieutenants.
