All For One is the main antagonist of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia and he's the biggest known evil to exist in the entire world. Using his Quirk, also known as All For One, he's been able to steal several other Quirks over the years and either stockpile them to use for himself or distribute them among those who follow him freely.

It's quite clear to see that All For One has access to one of the most menacing abilities to exist in My Hero Academia. Out of all the abilities that he's stolen over the years, some certainly stand out more than the rest.

Updated by Rei Penber on April 2, 2023: All For One is the ultimate villain in the world of My Hero Academia and he is blessed with the ultimate Quirk as well. As fans know, he has the power of All For One which allows him to steal other people's Quirks, stockpile them in his body, use them for himself, or pass them on to others. All For One can only hold a specific number of Quirks within his body, and, now that he has returned to his prime state, this number has vastly increased. While this list already goes over the 10 strongest All For One Quirks held in his body or currently being held, there are several others that have appeared with time and need their own mention as well. With that in mind, this list has now been updated with more All For One Quirks.

16 Impact Recoil

The Attack On U.A. By Shigaraki Diminished All Might's Reserve Of One For All

Impact Recoil is an exceptionally powerful Quirk that All For One demonstrated during the Kamino Incident, where he fought against All Might. This Quirk has not been explained in full detail, however, the way it works seems to be rather simple. It allows All For One to reflect any physical attack thrown his way rather easily.

Even when All Might threw powerful punches at him, All For One seem to be unaffected by them due to the fact that Impact Recoil allowed him to reflect the vast majority of the force headed towards him. While this attack is exceptionally useful, its weakness is that it can only reflect physical attacks. Techniques such as Endeavor's hot flames could not be reflected.

15 Kinetic Booster

Kinetic Booster is yet another powerful Quirk under the belt of All For One. It is so useful to him that he has made four copies of it and stores them within himself. Kinetic Booster, as the name implies, is an exceptional Quirk as it allows All For One to increase the amount of kinetic energy that he can create and store within himself.

This Quirk is exceptionally useful while throwing powerful attacks and dealing great amounts of damage to his enemies. The fact that All For One has kept it in his body for so long only goes to show its importance to him. Where exactly he stole this from and what its true name is remains unknown at this point, however, its application has been shown to be very useful.

14 Infrared

While infrared might not be a great strength-boosting Quirk for All For One, it certainly is one of the most useful that he has ever possessed within his body. All For One stole this from someone and has, since then, kept it within his body. Infrared allows him to sense his surroundings with infrared rays so that he can assess everything clearly. He used this Quirk to compensate for his blindness, which, as fans know, was caused during the fight against All Might long ago.

Infrared is incredibly useful for him as it allows him to not just see clearly without possessing eyes but also gives him a feel of everything in his close vicinity. Every single movement that happens can be noted by him and this almost gives him a sixth sense ability.

13 Life Force

All for one

Life Force is another exceptional Quirk under the belt of All For One that might not have physical strength but is extremely useful to him. As the name implies, this Quirk has to do with the lifespan of a person. Life Force allows the user to double their lifespan and age very slowly. This is how All For One has lived so long and is why he looks like a man in his 60s when he should be way over 100 years of age. This Quirk formerly belonged to Dr. Kyudai Garaki, however, at some point, he cloned this Quirk and kept the duplicate version while passing on the original to All For One.

The usage of this Quirk comes at the cost of great mobility, however, to All For One, that is not an issue at all. This is because of the fact that he possesses several other powerful Quirk combinations that let him circumvent this weakness.

12 Levitation Quirk

All for One with destroyed face

Levitation is a power that everyone wants and All For One certainly needed it as well. He makes use of this ability very regularly and as such, it is one of his most used powers in My Hero Academia. Where exactly All For One got the powers of levitation is not known just yet. The true name of his levitation Quirk is also not known. In very simple terms, it allows him to levitate and fly however he wishes.

When fighting foes such as Endeavor or even All Might, levitation is an ability that comes in clutch for All For One. He can also combine this with all the other powers that he has stored within himself to make it even more convenient, especially in combat.

11 Lie Detection Quirk

All For One also possesses an incredible Quirk that allows him to deduce if someone is lying to him or if they possess any ill will towards him. This Quirk might not be powerful but it certainly does aid him greatly and is one of the biggest reasons why he is still alive to this day. It is believed that he stole this Quirk from an ancestor of Tsukauchi, however, the exact name of the individual wasn't made known.

The true name of this All For One Quirk is also not known to the fans just yet. It is, however, very useful and gives All For One an idea of who to keep close as a loyal subordinate, and whom not to trust. With powers such as this, he is truly invincible both in and out of combat.

10 Radio Waves

Radio Waves Quirk

Radio Waves is quite a dangerous Quirk to have up one's sleeve and All For One made use of it on quite a few occasions. It is unknown who he stole this Quirk from, however, it was certainly someone powerful. Using Radio Waves, he could disrupt radio waves and cause a malfunction in communication.

This allowed him to significantly lower the defenses of some areas, such as Tartarus. At other times, the waves produced through this Quirk are used to wake up the Nomu.

9 Warping

Warping Quirk

Another Quirk belonging to an unknown user, Warping was used extensively by All For One before he was taken down by All Might for the second time. Using another person as a target, Warping allows him to produce a black liquid in their mouths which then engulfs their entire body.

Immediately afterward, their body starts acting like a portal. Unlike Warp Gate, however, this Quirk doesn't use coordinates and instead relies on people to act as a destination.

8 Multiplier

Hypertrophy Quirk and Multiplier Quirk

Multiplier is a Quirk that debuted during All For One's second fight against All Might. Originally, this Quirk belonged to someone else but was eventually stolen by All For One. Although what this Quirk does isn't exactly known, it is believed that it allows the user to produce several limbs from their body, multiplying their strength in a way.

When used against All Might, it gave him quite a lot of problems. So far, Shigaraki Tomura hasn't made use of this ability so nothing new has been revealed about it.

Yuga Aoyama in My Hero Academia

Navel Laser is quite a useful Quirk that currently belongs to none other than Aoyama from U. A. Just like Izuku Midoriya, Aoyama was born Quirkless, and to help his growing depression, his parents reached out to All For One, who then offered the Navel Laser Quirk to him after stealing it from someone else originally.

This Quirk allows him to produce streaks of powerful light beams from his belly button. The power and intensity of the beams can be manipulated with enough training.

6 Rivet Stab

My Hero Academia All For One

Rivet Stab is one of All For One's most used Quirks and it is certainly quite a dangerous one. The Quirk originally belonged to someone else and was stolen by All For One quite a long time ago.

It allows him to produce black tendrils from the tips of his fingers to stab other people and injure them considerably. At the same time, it can also be used together with Forced Quirk Activation to activate a certain Quirk immediately.

5 Super Regeneration

Hood Nomu fighting Endeavor and Hawks

One of the strongest Quirks in the entire story, Super Regeneration was stolen by All For One At some point and was then distributed among his followers, such as the U.S.J Nomu, Hood, Gigantomachia, among many others.

As the name suggests, this Quirk allows the user to regenerate from any sort of injury, which makes them almost invincible in battle. Most injuries suffered can easily be recovered from within a matter of seconds, however, the regeneration can definitely be powered through.

Search Quirk Shigaraki

Search is an incredibly useful Quirk that once belonged to Ragdoll of the Wild Wild Pussycats. It was eventually stolen from her by All For One and has, since then, become a great part of his powers.

RELATED: What Makes My Hero Academia's New Order Quirk Such A Game Changer

Search allows him to scan and monitor around 100 people at a single point in time and look up everything about them, including their locations and their weaknesses. The information that this Quirk gathers is stored permanently within the user, making it an incredibly powerful Quirk that only adds to All For One's tremendous strength.

3 Muscle Augmentation

Muscle Augmentation Quirk

Used by All For One at one point and then by the likes of Hood and Wolfram, Muscle Augmentation is quite an incredible Quirk that allows the user to increase their muscles, making them much stronger, faster, and more durable.

As expected, this strengthens the user considerably. When combined with the other stolen Quirks of All For One, this power becomes even more dangerous.

2 Hypertrophy

Hypertrophy Quirk and Multiplier Quirk

Hypertrophy is quite a useful Quirk that was stolen by All For One from an unknown person. Using this power, he can enlarge any part of his body to varying sizes. When used against All Might, he was able to increase the size of his arm drastically, giving him significantly more strength and power.

He's also used this ability on Good to restrain him despite the latter's tremendous strength, which just goes to show that Hypertrophy is an incredible power to have up one's sleeve.

1 Air Cannon

Air Cannon Quirk

Air Cannon is one of the most destructive powers that All For One possesses. As expected, this Quirk was stolen by him from someone else. When combined with the various Quirks in his possession, it becomes even stronger.

Air Cannon allows him to produce shockwaves of air from his body that are strong enough to damage people quite seriously. Their power was seen enough to blow even the likes of All Might away, which just goes to show that it's an ability worth having.
