The Strongest One Punch Man Heroes Not Named Saitama

Saitama’s unmatched power makes him the ultimate hero.

One-Punch Man has gained widespread attention for its fresh perspective on the superhero genre. The story revolves around Saitama, also known as the Caped Baldy, an unassuming man who possesses an unmatched level of strength, allowing him to defeat any foe with just one punch.

However, Saitama is far from being the only hero in this universe. The Hero Association has several S-Class heroes with extraordinary powers, many of which rival the most destructive forces imaginable. This ranking highlights the ten most powerful heroes in One-Punch Man.

The newest One-Punch Man chapter suggests a link between the enigmatic villain known as God, his confinement on the Moon, and psychics such as Tatsumaki.

10. Genos’ Cyborg Enhancements Make Him a Formidable Fighter

Genos stands out as one of the strongest heroes in One-Punch Man. As a cyborg who has undergone extensive modifications, he boasts remarkable speed, strength, and resilience, allowing him to battle even Dragon-level threats.

His body is equipped with an array of high-tech weaponry, including rocket boosters, flamethrowers, and laser cannons, which amplify his destructive potential.

Despite his immense firepower, Genos is placed at number ten due to his relative inexperience and the weaknesses that come with his advanced cybernetic body. His reputation as a hero is somewhat overshadowed by the fact that he has lost most of his major battles.

9. Drive Knight’s Strategic Thinking Gives Him an Edge

Drive Knight, a robotic hero cloaked in secrecy, possesses cutting-edge technology and a diverse arsenal of weapons. His strength lies in his ability to analyze opponents and counter their tactics effectively. Among One-Punch Man’s heroes, he stands out as one of the most intelligent and strategic fighters.

His transforming cyborg body enables him to move into different forms depending on the requirements of battle. While the full scope of his abilities remains uncertain, his talent for identifying an enemy’s weaknesses makes him a dangerous adversary.

8. Metal Knight Commands an Army of Machines

Another technologically advanced hero, Metal Knight, is among the most powerful figures in One-Punch Man. He is a scientist named Bofoi, who operates a massive, heavily armed mecha suit outfitted with missiles, lasers, and machine guns.

In addition to his combat capabilities, Metal Knight has access to fleets of combat drones that assist him in battle. Despite his overwhelming strength, he is often perceived as cold and calculating, and his true motives remain uncertain.

A flashback in One-Punch Man chapter #175 reveals that before meeting Saitama, Fubuki had a much darker and ruthless personality, even more so than the villain Psykos.

7. Flashy Flash’s Speed Leaves Enemies Helpless

Flashy Flash, an elite S-Class hero affiliated with the Hero Association, possesses extraordinary speed and reflexes. His lightning-fast movements make him one of the most dangerous combatants in the series. With the ability to strike before an opponent even realizes what is happening, he is a true powerhouse.

Coming from the same ninja village as Speed-O-Sound Sonic, Flashy Flash has demonstrated that he surpasses his rival in speed. His battle record includes defeating two Dragon-level foes simultaneously, proving just how powerful he truly is.

6. Atomic Samurai’s Swordsmanship is Unrivaled

A master of the blade, Atomic Samurai is an elite S-Class hero renowned for his exceptional swordsmanship. His katana skills are nearly unmatched, allowing him to cut through almost anything with ease. On several occasions, he has demonstrated the ability to slash an opponent hundreds of times in a fraction of a second.

True to his name, Atomic Samurai is capable of slicing enemies down to their molecular structure. With the recent acquisition of his Sun Sword, he could soon rise even higher in the S-Class ranks.

5. Superalloy Darkshine Possesses Unparalleled Strength

Superalloy Darkshine, despite what his name suggests, is a completely human hero. He is regarded as one of the physically strongest S-Class heroes in One-Punch Man, thanks to his immense muscle power and durability.

In his prime, he was able to overpower Garou without difficulty and appeared nearly invincible until the latter managed to land a minor injury on him. Before this encounter, Superalloy Darkshine firmly believed he was indestructible.

Even after witnessing the strength of other S-Class heroes, he remained confident in his abilities. One-Punch Man chapter #174 introduces a new group of so-called “heroes,” who seem more like a pop idol group than an actual crime-fighting team. Their journey is off to a rough start.

4. Bang is a Master of Martial Arts

Bang, widely regarded as one of the most skilled fighters in One-Punch Man, has earned his place among the strongest heroes. His fighting style, “Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock,” allows him to unleash rapid, powerful strikes while redirecting an opponent’s energy against them.

Thanks to his expertise, he has defeated numerous high-level monsters and even fought other S-Class heroes. His experience makes him a respected mentor to younger fighters. Despite his advanced age, Bang continues to be one of the most dominant figures in the series.

3. Tatsumaki’s Psychic Abilities are Unparalleled

Tatsumaki, better known as the Tornado of Terror, is one of the most powerful psychics in One-Punch Man. Her telekinetic abilities allow her to move objects and opponents with her mind, and she has demonstrated enough strength to lift entire cities effortlessly.

During her battle against Orochi, she reshaped a metropolis into a swirling vortex of destruction. Her abilities extend to summoning meteors from space and generating immense psychic shields. While she can be temperamental and impatient, there is no doubt that Tatsumaki is one of the strongest heroes in existence.

2. Blast is One-Punch Man’s Most Mysterious Hero

Ranked as the number one S-Class hero, Blast is shrouded in mystery, but his power places him among the greatest warriors in One-Punch Man. He is often absent due to missions that take him to other dimensions or deep space, where he seeks to uncover the truth about the enigmatic villain known as God.

His abilities seem to involve manipulating enormous amounts of energy, which he uses to create portals and travel vast distances. Multiple hints throughout the series suggest that Blast could single-handedly defeat all other S-Class heroes.

1. Saitama’s Strength is Beyond Measure

No hero could claim the top spot other than Saitama himself. His strength is as absurd as the training regimen he used to achieve it—100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 6km run every day.

His feats include effortlessly defeating opponents, surfing on massive warships, and leaping back to Earth from the Moon. In an incredible display of strength, he even sneezed away half of Jupiter without trying.

As the hero who can end any battle with a single punch, Saitama stands far above every other character in One-Punch Man.
