The Lurkers (ラーカーズ Rākāzu?) are a team of Pro Heroes.
Strength
Although the team consists of only three heroes in its ranks, it can be considered quite powerful since its members are very highly-ranked heroes in the Hero Billboard Chart JP; the No. 4 Hero Edgeshot, the No. 7 Hero Kamui Woods and the No. 23 Hero Mt. Lady. This implies that the team is strong and versatile.
Synopsis

The Lurkers team up.
After All Might's retirement, many heroes have formed a team to combat the rise in crime. After the events at Kamino, Edgeshot invites Kamui to team up together, which he accepts. Kamui was so happy that he sobbed for two hours.[1] Later they would invite Mt. Lady to join them. There had been rumors for a while about their team up, before it finally became official, calling themselves "The Lurkers".[2]
Pro Hero Arc
The Lurkers carried out several missions, getting both Egdeshot and Kamui being ranked as No. 4 and No. 7 heroes respectively on the Hero Billboard Chart JP. Mt. Lady only got the 23rd place in the standings, which causes her much discomfort. When Kamui Woods has the chance to speak live at the event, he says he'll work hard on Edgeshot's team.[3]
Endeavor Agency Arc
After the Hero Public Safety Commission demand all the students' heroes to undergo practical field training,[4] Denki, Hanta, and Minoru from Class 1-A, and Ibara from Class 1-B join them.[5]
Paranormal Liberation War Arc
The Lurkers with the Villa Raid team.
By the end of March, The Lurkers as well as the students who did the second Hero Work-Studies with them, participate in the Paranormal Liberation War, specifically in the Gunga Mountain Villa Raid. While Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady and Chargebolt participate in the actual raid; Cellophane, Grape Juice and Vines are members of the Backup Team[6] made up primarily of students whose mission is to prevent members of the Paranormal Liberation Front from slip past the front line.[7]
Thanks to careful planning, the heroes took the initiative in the conflict, defeating a good number of villains.[8] Considering that their powers were no longer necessary, the heroes allow Chargebolt and three other students to return with their classmates.[9] Unfortunately, the situation changes completely when Tomura Shigaraki orders Gigantomachia to go where he is, bringing the original members of the League of Villains with him. The giant obeys the orders,[10] and despite the efforts of the Villa Raid Team, he manages to overcome the blockade.
Mt. Lady tries to stop him but she is easily defeated, then Kamui Woods help Midnight to put Gigantomachia to sleep, but they are knocked down by the League's Members.[11] Shortly after, the students of the Back Up team try to get Gigantomachia to swallow a powerful sedative in order to stop him, even Mt. Lady reappears to help them. Although they succeed,[12] they do not succeed in preventing the villain from continuing on his way, resulting in the destruction of several cities before the sedative finally kicks in, taking down Gigantomachia.[13]
Meanwhile, at Gunga Montain Villa, Edgeshot confronts Re-Destro.[11] In the end he manages to defeat him and hundreds of PLF members are arrested.[14]
Villain Hunt Arc
After the war, The Lurkers helped assist Deku and the Top 3 Heroes to search for All For One in the Creature Rejection Clan's mansion only for the mansion to explode as All For One had anticipated their arrival.[15]
