Heroes |
Heroes (ヒーロー, Hīrō) are individuals who fight for justice against all evil in the world. They also protect innocent civilians from any harm against natural disasters, Mysterious Beings and Villains. Most heroes are registered in the Hero Association and divided into four classes, C-Class, B-Class, A-Class and S-Class, but the Rank 1 heroes of A, B, and C classes are substantially more powerful than the bottom ranked hero of the next class up; they chose to keep their Rank 1 position as a gatekeeper for reasons of their own.
Unregistered Heroes
Unregistered heroes are regarded as "weirdos" by the Hero Association and don't get any credits or mentions in any media.[1]

C-Class
C-Class (C級, C-kyū): is the lowest class out of the four classes. Although C-Class heroes are the weakest, in most cases their strength exceeds that of a normal person.[2] When a hero enters the association, he begins here (unless he scores high enough in which case he directly climbs up to a different rank).[3] C-Class heroes must perform weekly heroic acts or they are removed from the Hero Registry.[4] The currently highest-ranked C-Class hero is Mumen Rider. There are currently about 390 heroes in this class.[5] C-Class has the most heroes out of all the classes.
B-Class
B-Class (B級, B-kyū): is the second weakest class. When a hero becomes Rank 1 in C-Class, he or she can climb up to B-Class. Heroes in this class are stronger than the previous rank and do not have to perform weekly heroic acts.[6] The currently highest-ranked B-Class hero is Fubuki. There are currently 101 heroes in this class.[5]
