My Hero Academia: Endeavor’s Versatile Quirk

 The Flame Hero: Endeavor succeeded All Might as the number one hero after his retirement. Endeavor, also known as Enji Todoroki, is a top hero who worked all his life to become better than All Might, but at some point, he realized that no matter how hard he works, he will never achieve what he wants. He grew bitter and forced his dreams on his children, which had long-term consequences for him and his family. However, he accepted his mistakes and did everything possible to make up for the past wrongs. It does seem that Shoto has already forgiven him, but we will have to wait and see what the rest of his family does. 

Endeavor is known for his rude personality, and he rarely talks or acknowledges his fans. However, his demeanor changes radically once he tries to gain public trust after succeeding All Might. He has his way of intimidating opponents by lighting himself with his Quirk Hellflame. Although his Quirk can easily strike fear into any one of his adversaries, it is rarely discussed on the show. Today we look at the secrets that Endeavor’s Quirk Hellflame holds. 

Overheating

Endeavor has a habit of lighting himself on fire whenever possible to intimate the villains and people around him. He likes to stamp his authority and wants people to give him respect for his powers. However, his trademark of setting himself on fire is not a trick, and he does it on purpose. Since he never hurts himself is proof that he is completely fire-proof and his body parts are not damaged by flames, including his hair. It is strange that he sometimes overheats, which can confuse some of the viewers. One can conclude that although Endeavor’s body can’t be burned, he is not immune to heat. Whenever he puts too much effort, his body temperature rises, which slows down his metabolism, making it difficult for him to attack. 

Falling

Endeavor’s Quirk does not give him the power to fly, but it can be used to remain suspended in mid-air for an extended period of time. It also prevents massive fall damage whenever he is fighting an aerial opponent. He uses his calves and thrusters very well to propel himself, and his physical strength comes in handy, helping him stay upright. Endeavor’s ability to even fight with aerial villains makes him a powerful hero, and it is one of the reasons he is one of the best characters on the show. 

Solid Fire

One of the most mysterious things about his power is his ability to create solid flames and then use them as weapons. He used it while fighting Nomu in Episode 30 of Season 2. Although he has only used it once to create a spear, the possibilities are endless, and his Quirk can be used to make other structures such as crowbars, nets, cages, or whips. In addition to using flames for offense, he can also use these structures to surprise his adversaries. The solid flames can also be used for rescue purposes and other unexpected places. 

Blinding Lasers

Endeavor using his mastery of the Hellfire Quirk, came up with the Flash-Fire Fist Hell Spider to concentrate his flames into super-hot lasers. Each of these thin lasers can cut entire buildings smoothly, which means it is much hotter than a welding torch. With his consistent training and persistence, he can create up to 10 such thin lasers with precision. Endeavor uses them to trap his victims and move them in unpredictable ways.

Control

Although it might seem that Endeavor’s Quirks will give him the powers to create flames, surprisingly, he can also control all fire in his proximity, which puts him at an advantage. Whenever he is fighting, he has a lot of options. He can set things on fire, use fire in his proximity, and even heat or cool an entire arena depending on the type of enemy he is fighting. It also means that when he faces a villain who uses his element against him, he will have the upper hand. 

Although Endeavor took a long time to succeed All Might and become the number one hero, he is gifted to fight under pressure. His past is something that most fans would like to forget, and it has become easier ever since he has started making amends. Since All Might no longer protects the world, it is time for him to step up and take his place. His Quirk Hellfire is versatile and gives him all the abilities he needs to remain the top hero in Japan.
