Heroes (ヒーロー) are individuals who are licensed to use their Quirks to protect civilians from Villains, natural disasters, and/or any other kind of harm.

Those who take heroism as a profession are referred to as Pro Heroes (プロヒーロー).

Origin
Heroes started appearing when the Quirk phenomenon occurred and the general populace acquired superpowers. Depending on their performance, Heroes have the potential to receive government pay, along with fame and glory.

The first Heroes to appear during the chaos caused by the appearance of Quirks were Vigilantes, as the Pro Hero system had not yet been implemented. The Pro Hero System was first put into place on Rhode Island in America under the "Rhode Island New State Statute", 189 Vigilantes were affected by this statute, with only 7 being accepted as official Heroes.

Hero Agencies
Heroes generally work in groups known as Hero Agencies. The standard is one very strong Pro Hero in charge, and a number of weaker Heroes who serve as Sidekicks under the primary Hero.

Heroics Education
In order for a person to become a licensed Pro Hero, they must undergo an education and training program in the subject of heroism. This Heroics course is integrated into a students High School education.

The Heroic's course includes rescue training, combat training, and even training for dealing with the media.

Internships
Hero students have the opertunity work under licensed Pro Heroes. This allows the students to gain special training that their teachers wound normally be unable to provide.

There are two types of internships.

The first type of internship involves a student merely shadowing a Pro Hero, listening to there advice and watching them in action. Since the Students are unlicensed, they can't legally participate in Hero work.

The second type of internship comes after a student has pass the Provisional Hero License Exam and has earned their Provisional Hero License. Students are allowed to participate in relief efforts durring emergency situations. This allows them to gain real experience, and can help them get noticed by other Pro Heroes who might want to hire them as sidekicks after they graduate.

The Japanese Hero Billboard Charts
Biannually, all Heroes and hero teams are ranked by an event called the Japanese Hero Billboard Charts. The rating factors in a Heroes level of strength, number of resolved incidents, contributions to society, and public approval.

All Might used to be the No. 1 Hero until his retirement, after which Endeavor assumed the No. 1 spot.

Hero Name
A Hero Name is a name a Pro Hero chooses to identify themselves. While Heroes in training may choose tentative names in high school, Pro Heroes are often known by the name they first pick.

Hero Names are considered very important to a professional career, as they can bring a person closer to the image they may want to cement, and are also able to reflect their true character. A person may also choose to use the same name or a very similar one to an already well-known Hero that is no longer active; however, this comes with the responsibility and pressure to uphold the name's legacy.

Teams
Heroes can either work alone or in a team, depending on the needs of their feild of Heroism. One example is The Wild, Wild Pussycats, a team put together for mountain rescue and actually stayed together to create a hero agency.

Most heroes work alone, starting a hero agency somewhere, but occasionally work together with other Heroes in the field on various missions, such the raid on the League of Villains hideout.
