#5-Todoroki (My
Hero Academia)
Like One Punch Man (later on this list) My Hero Academia
is chock full of heroes that could comprise this list solo (hmmmm…nah that’s
for another day). It probably would be
wiser to place a professional Hero like All Might or maybe Mt. Lady on this
list. However, if watching this show has
taught me anything, it’s that (most) of the kids of Class 1A have more than
earned the title of hero, from Deku to Tsu to Ochaco. However, my pick from their group has to be
Todoroki, who has come a long way since Episode 1 and developed his powers as
well as his personality. His mastery of
Fire and Ice make him truly dangerous, even against the deadliest of enemies,
and thankfully he’s becoming more of a Team Player.
#4-Luffy (One
Piece)
Luffy is the unshakeable (borderline annoying) voice of
optimism. Sure he’s fallen on some dark
times in One Piece’s almost 20 year existence but that freaking smile and that
straw hat appearing on the battlefield are a beacon of hope (long before All
Might came along). Luffy has the power
to stretch his body in anyway he sees fit, thanks to consuming the devil
fruit. This means he can sock you with a
punch from a distance or turn himself into various wacky forms of weaponry and
dense, like a hammer or a balloon.
Luffy’s like Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four…only you know, way
wayyyyy better.
#3-Yoruichi
(Bleach)
Every Avengers team needs a girl. Not just any girl, a girl who can kick ass
and look good while doing so. I was
going to select Soul Reaper Captain Soi Fon for this spot until I thought about
her mentor, Yoruichi. She’s a curvy and
sultry exile from the Soul Society who isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with the
worst the Soul Society has to offer, rarely ever using a sword. Nope, this nimble lady is all about close
quarters combat, her leg attacks even giving Chun Li a run for her money. She’s quick, she’s fast, she’s precise,
Yoruichi sacrificed every bit of status she had in the Soul Society to help her
best friend in a time of need…if that doesn’t make you Avenger material, I
don’t know what will.
#2-Genos (One
Punch Man)
Ever aspiring to be a better hero (and better his own
reeducation about humanity), Genos is the perfect mix of Iron Man and the
Vision from Marvel Comics. If need be,
he can rocket himself into battle and hit with the hardest limbs in
existence. Arm cannons, tactical
analysis software and enough strength to try and take out a meteor, this guy is
the full package. Even if he gets
wrecked in battle (and he has plenty), Genos doesn’t quit until the day is
saved. Genos is still learning everyday
and, despite being more machine than man, has the heart of a true hero, one who
is all about helping the people rather than the fame or payday that might come
with it.
#1-Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z)
Every team needs a Hulk.
Vegeta is that hulk and probably the only planet shattering, OP
character I will add to this list.
Vegeta’s long story on DBZ has been all about his redemption while not
losing that anger and frustration that makes him so enjoyable. Despite his claims to the contrary, Vegeta
isn’t that bad a team player, being able to battle insync with the likes of
Goku and Piccolo. And deep down, he is a
good guy trying to do his best to win for reasons other than his Saiyan
Pride. Vegeta embodies a certain quote
from Bruce Banner in the Avengers, the truth about his power, “That’s my secret
Captain, I’m always angry.” And you
never, never EVER want to see Vegeta when he’s angry.
