All For One is one of the most powerful characters to exist in My Hero Academia. Known to be the greatest evil of all time, All For One possesses powers that rival those of All Might.

In his prime, he was known to be All Might's equal and he single-handedly carried out most of the crimes in Japan. With the power of his Quirk, also known as All For One, he can steal and stockpile many other powers and distribute them according to his will. As expected, he has several great abilities up his sleeve. and, over the years, he's made tremendous use of them to keep himself as strong as he possible could, all the while unleashing a reign of terror all over Japan in an attempt to destabilize the Hero Society and cause utter chaos.

Search Quirk Shigaraki

Search is an incredibly useful Quirk that, while lacking in terms of strength, is great in other ways. It allows All For One to look at and keep monitoring up to 100 people at any time.

This Quirk acts as a form of surveillance and even tells him the weaknesses of the people that he's monitoring. Locating every single one of them in even the greatest of crowds becomes incredibly easy for the user of this Quirk.

7 Warping

Warping Quirk

As seen on various occasions, All For One can also use the ability of Warping. While his version of the technique is not nearly as refined as Kurogiri's, it is still quite effective. It allows him to produce a black liquid capable of warping people to a different location.

While quite powerful, this Quirk can only work on people he has a close relationship with, making it a glaring weakness of this power. Nonetheless, Warping is an overpowered ability and certainly one of All For One's greatest.

6 Rivet Stab

My Hero Academia All For One

Rivet Stab is quite a dangerous ability that allows All For One to produce tendrils from his fingers and lets him stab his targets, delivering little wounds in the process.

Fans saw them being used on several occasions, most notably during the Paranormal Liberation War arc where Bakugo suffered serious injuries due to this Quirk. It can also be used for forced Quirk activation, in which case, the target is not wounded.

5 Air Cannon

As the name suggests, Air Cannon allows All For One to produce a powerful blast of air capable of causing large-scale destruction.

When compressed, this air cannon becomes even more powerful and can even deal damage to the likes of All Might, as seen during the fight in Kamino District. Air Cannon is quite a powerful ability and, when combined with the rest of his Quirks, it becomes even stronger.

4 Impact Recoil

All Might and All for One in My Hero One's Justice 2

Impact Recoil is quite possibly the greatest defensive ability in My Hero Academia. Expectedly, All For One stole this power from someone and makes use of it in quite an efficient manner. As the name suggests, it allows All For One to reflect any damage, likely physical, thrown at him and reflect it back to the attacker.

This was seen being used on several occasions and he's successfully managed to reflect a lot of the attacks thrown at him. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most overpowered abilities that he has up his sleeve.

3 Life Force

My Hero Academia All For One

Life Force might not be the most powerful quirk that All For One possesses, however, it is the most useful one that he has under his belt. As the name suggests, Life Force grants an additional lifespan to All For One.

Expectedly, he stole this power from someone else and made use of it to achieve his goals. Life Force is the sole reason that All For One is living even now and this Quirk has essentially made him immortal. It goes without saying that this power is extremely special and possibly the most useful to him.

2 Kinetic Booster

All for one

While not the official name of this Quirk, Kinetic Booster allows All For One to increase the attack power and the force behind all his techniques. So far, he is known to have had four copies of this Quirk.

This power is quite good when it comes to making other powerful attacks even stronger. Fans don't know a lot about the intricacies of this power, however, with All For One having returned to his prime recently, it is likely to come into play sooner rather than later.

1 Hardflame Fan

Prime All For One

Another defensive ability that All For One has up his sleeve is known as Hardflame Fan. He stole this Quirk from someone and has used it tremendously well against his enemies. Hardflame Fan allows him to produce a giant wall of flames around him to act as a form of defense.

Expectedly, these flames provide great protection against even some of the most powerful enemies. At the same time, they can also be used as a guise for All For One to prepare stronger attacks and take the enemy by surprise.
