Most of humanity in My Hero Academia have any type of property. Most people use their quirks in everyday life, but Pro Heroes use them to protect others, while Villains use their quirks for crime and violence. Each Quirk is useful in its own way, but some Quirks are much more destructive than others.
The most destructive Quirks in My Hero Academia wielded by villains, which isn't too surprising, but some heroes also have very destructive quirks. The only difference is that the heroes try to hold back to minimize collateral damage. Many of these destructive oddities have the power to destroy cities and their entire populations, and some can even bring down a nation if not stopped in time.

Properties come in various shapes and forms. While each quirk has its uses, some may be considered borderline unnecessary in MHA.
8
Double has the power to take down an entire country
Double is a simple, but very effective Quirk, and in the wrong hands it can be used to overwhelm militaries and take over entire countries. The user has the ability to make two copies of whatever they touch. The user can make copies of other people, and although their bodies are less durable than the original's, they can still use any Quirk the original has. This also applies to the user and their Double Quirk.
As a result, the user can copy themselves and then their clones can make copies of themselves. This process can continue until there are tens of thousands or even a million copies running. Double's destructive potential was shown during the final war, as if Ochaco Uraraka hadn't awakened her quirk, an army of clones would have wiped out the Pro Heroes and spread across Japan.
7
Explosion can produce powerful and devastating explosions
The explosion quirk is as destructive as it sounds, but at least the user can decide how powerful their explosions will be. By exuding and igniting the nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms, the user can create explosions. Sweat is a byproduct of physical activity, meaning that Explosion will gradually become stronger and harder to deal with as the battle continues.
If Explosion Awakens, the user can produce multiple explosions at once, which are more condensed and much more powerful. With enough sweat, Explosion can destroy a normal person or turn a building into rubble with a single attack. If the user were to go all out, they could level an entire city with explosions, leaving nothing behind but flames and craters.

All for one can destroy large parts of a city with the right quirks
All For One can be one of the strongest Quirks in My Hero Academia, but it cannot cause widespread destruction on its own. That said, it can destroy large parts of a city under the right conditions. All For One allows someone to steal and use other people's quirks. Not only can the user seemingly store an unlimited number of Quirks, they can also use as many Quirks as they want at once.
An All For One user can steal Explosion and destroy buildings in an instant. They could steal Earth Flow and use it to cause catastrophic avalanches. With a stolen Air Canon Quirk, the user destroys multiple buildings at once by generating powerful shockwaves from their hands. During the final war, a stolen Impure Beam caused massive, widespread damage with a single shot. As long as the user continues to collect Quirks, there is no real limit to how destructive All For One can become.
5
Hellflame can burn almost anything with intense flames
Hellflame is one of My Hero Academias strongest fire units, and it's a good thing that it was used by Japan's former #1 hero because a villain can deal serious damage with it. The user can generate intense flames from their body, and they can control their destructive effect by regulating the temperature of their flames. That said, overheating can be a real problem with prolonged use.
Hellflame can produce fireballs with enough heat to incinerate most people. Thanks to Endeavour, MHA fans know that Hellflame can create whip-like flames that can turn a building into smoldering ruins. Hellflame can also shoot blasts of highly pressurized flames that can reduce surrounding buildings and highly durable super-regeneration villains to ash. It goes without saying that Hellflame can burn entire cities to the ground.

While My Hero Academia has countless dangerous quirks, some of the most OP abilities can level entire cities with their destructive power.
4
Blueflame can vaporize anything within a three mile radius
Like Hellflame, the Blueflame Quirk gives the user the ability to generate flames from their body at will. Blue fire is notorious for burning hotter than normal flames, meaning Blueflame is more dangerous, to the point that even the user's body will burn away with prolonged use. These flames can burn down entire forests and neighborhoods in minutes.
The full extent of Blueflame's destructive power was seen during the final war, when Dabi attempted to go nuclear. Continuously building up lethal amounts of thermal energy, Dabi demonstrated that Blueflame could explode and vaporize anything within a three mile radius. This move would ultimately cost the user their life, but it would guarantee the total destruction of a medium-sized city.
3
Overhaul can blow matter apart with a simple touch
The argument can be made that Overhaul is the strongest Quirk in the series, and it would likely have the most broken Quirk Awakening in history. The user can take apart and then reassemble matter as they wish. The only problem is that they can only do this through physical contact, meaning they are powerless if they lose their arms. Overhaul allows the user to absorb other people and acquire their abilities.
In terms of destruction, an overhaul user can instantly blast someone's body apart even if they lightly graze them for a split second. By placing their hands on the street, an overview user can flatten a large part of a city in an instant. Overhaul can also produce massive spikes throughout the area to destroy every building and impale any civilian in sight.
2
Black hole can disintegrate anything with extreme suction
Black Hole is primarily used for search and rescue operations, but it is easily the most dangerous and destructive Pro Hero Quirk in My Hero Academia. The user can create miniature black holes through their fingers, and the suction effect is so strong that even light cannot escape its pull. It's a very volatile trait, which is why a Pro Hero like Tretton must always be aware of his surroundings.
Anything sucked into the user's fingers instantly disintegrates at the atomic level. Not even the user is immune to the Black Hole's destructive power. If a Black Hole user decided to enter a center in the middle of the day, they could eliminate every single person in the area and destroy every building by using all ten fingers at once.
My Hero Academia: 8 Quirks That Can Make Anyone A Top 1 Hero
The world of My Hero Academia is filled with powerful quirks, but these eight in particular can take a hero all the way to the top.
1
Decay can turn entire cities to dust in minutes
Decay was originally seen as a rare mutation, but it was later revealed to be a reverse copy of the Overhaul Quirk. It had the reassembly part of Overhaul removed, making it a purely destructive Quirk. By simply touching something with their hands, the user can destroy any living or non-living thing through disintegration. The dissolution process started slowly, but by the end of the series it was almost instantaneous.
The decay became one of My Hero Academias god-tier Quirks when it woke up. When this happened, the hand requirement was practically nullified, as anything that comes into contact with Decay also disintegrates. As a result, Decay can wipe out a city and its entire population. If left unchecked, Decay can spread to the point of decimating an entire country.
