Reiko Yanagi is Class 1-B's telekinetic threat
Reiko Yanagi has a deep fascination for all things horror-related, from ghost stories and the supernatural to anything eerie or disturbing. Her posture alone gives a ghostly impression, with her dangling arms resembling traditional depictions of ghosts or zombies. Fittingly, Reiko's Quirk is called Poltergeist.
Poltergeist is a straightforward ability that allows Reiko to control objects within her range like an esper. She is capable of throwing multiple objects at high speed and overwhelming her opponents with a barrage of sharp projectiles. But her ability has an important limitation: she can only control objects no larger than an average human body.

Kinoko Komori rules the battlefield with mushrooms
Kinoko Komori looks like she stepped straight out of a fairy tale, thanks to her hero costume decorated with mushroom patterns often associated with fantasy stories. Her Quirk, aptly named Mushroom, is much less capricious, allowing her to grow different types of mushrooms on any solid surface she touches.
Although Komori is not a traditional combat-focused hero, her Quirk is truly terrifying. She can instantly spread mushrooms across the battlefield, capable of suffocating her opponents and overwhelming them with mushroom growth. Underestimating her on the battlefield is a guaranteed way to lose.

Setsuna Tokage is one of Class 1-B's most naturally gifted students
One Piece's Buggy the Clown has a worthy counterpart in Setsuna Tokage. Her quirk, the Lizard Tail Splitter, allows her to split her body into as many as 50 separate pieces while maintaining complete control over each one. Even if one of these pieces is destroyed, Setsuna is able to regenerate it, though it puts a considerable strain on her body.
From the very beginning, Setsuna has been regarded as one of Class 1-B's most naturally gifted students, mostly because she enrolled in UA High School through a recommendation. Her classmates hold her in high regard and place their trust in both her judgment and leadership. Their willingness to follow her into battle speaks volumes for their confidence in her fighting ability and decision making.

Jurota Shishida is both smart and wild
Facing Jurota Shishida in direct combat can be one of the most terrifying experiences ever, mostly because he can transform into a huge beast that can pass as the Beast Titan's double in Attack on Titan. Beyond that, he truly embodies a beast, with his personality shifting from calm to ruthless as he disintegrates opponents and sends them flying with his claws.
Make no mistake, Jurota does not lose his composure despite the uncontrollable nature of his Quirk. He remains capable of staying one step ahead of his enemies, formulating effective strategies and even switching his quirk to avoid attacks and surprise opponents when they least expect it.

Itsuka Kendo's large fist is built for combat and rescue
Getting hit by Itsuka Kendo would leave serious injuries due to the massive size of her fists. Even her karate chops are enough to keep Monoma at bay, as only her hands carry deadly force. As Class 1-B's big sister, Itsuka makes sure everyone is safe and sound, not to mention well behaved during joint training and showdowns with Class 1-A.
Itsuka's Quirk, Big Fist, literally increases the size of her fists at will. In addition to their increased size, her giant fists possess immense physical strength, allowing her to overpower opponents with sheer force. This overwhelming power has allowed her to overwhelm formidable foes such as the villain Mustard and even catch Momo Yaoyorozu red-handed. Her Quirk is also perfect for search and rescue missions, with her fists capable of carrying survivors from harm.

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu is Class 1-B's steel power plant
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu is one of the most powerful heavy-hitters in the My Hero Academiawith his Quirk's power rivaling Class 1-A's Eijiro Kirishima. With his Quirk, Real Steel, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu can turn his entire body into steel, allowing him to withstand various types of attacks, including heat, ice, and more.
Additionally, Class 1-B's Tetsutetsu becomes an absolute force of nature whenever his Quirk is activated. Along with his hardened steel body, he gains immense superhuman strength, allowing him to overwhelm opponents with sheer brute force. His heroism and drive to grow stronger are also two of his greatest traits, making him a powerful Class 1-B student with almost infinite potential.

Shihai Kuroiro is Class 1-B's sneakiest student
At first glance, Shihai Kuroiro looks more like a villain than a hero, thanks to his terrifying appearance. In fact, his silhouette bears such a striking resemblance to Tomura Shigaraki's that he could easily pass as the villain's doppelganger. His personality isn't the nicest either, as he likes to catch people off guard with his schemes and other forms of deception.
Kuroiro's quirk, black, allows him to fuse into anything of a dark enough color, allowing him to disappear into naturally dark objects or those temporarily darkened by his surroundings. Once merged, he can move and attack at high speeds, making him the stealthiest Class 1-B student in the series.

Monoma Neito's copy can transform almost any quirk into its own
Neito Monoma may not have the prettiest personality in Class 1-B, but he has real, solid abilities that are crucial in crucial and high-stakes matches in My Hero Academia. Thanks to his Quirk, Copy, Monoma successfully contained Shigaraki Tomura for a while with Eraserhead's Erasure, and also used Kurogiri's Warp Gate to teleport his allies as part of the ultimate plan to defeat Shigaraki and All For One.
Monoma is exceptionally dangerous in battles where he has the ability to copy multiple quirks. Although he can only store four Quirks at a time and each copied Quirk requires 10 seconds to switch, his ever-changing arsenal makes him one of the most unpredictable fighters on the battlefield. Above all, Class 1-B's Monoma is living proof that even a supporting character can steal the spotlight and sometimes rival or even surpass the main characters of the series.

Juzo Honenuki's softening is a breakthrough power
Receiving a recommendation to enroll at UA High School requires exceptional talent and skill, and Juzo Honenuki of Class 1-B has more than proven that he deserves it. He is so incredibly skilled that he can accurately judge whether he has the upper hand or is at a disadvantage during a fight. Although he hates losing, he accepts defeat with humility and uses each setback as motivation to improve and overcome his weaknesses.
Juzo's Quirk, Softening, is especially effective against opponents who rely on solid ground, as a single touch allows him to soften the ground into quicksand-like terrain. He can then swim through the softened earth, making his movements difficult to predict and allowing him to make surprise attacks from below. At any moment, Juzo can restore the ground to its original hardness and trap opponents before they have a chance to escape. He can even soften solid counter attacks and turn them into goo.

Ibara Shiozaki dominates with viticulture
Faith and religion are central to Class 1-B's Ibara Shiozaki, shaping both her personality and fighting style. Fittingly, many of her techniques take inspiration from her strong beliefs, with attack names such as Via Dolorosa, Faith's Shield, and Crucifixion reflecting her strong religious devotion.
Ibara's quirk, Vines, literally gives her control over vines, which extend from her green, thorn-covered hair. She can easily use it to cover the battlefield with plant life, immobilize her opponent's movements, and can even build a vine wall that can protect her from counterattacks. Although melee combat is her greatest weakness, Ibara has trained extensively under Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady to improve that aspect of her fighting style and overcome its limitations.
