Most of pro-heroes and most of students have some reasonably straight-forward
close range physical quirks (explosions, fire/ice, become a rock, anti-gravity
and so on).

There are very few heroes who have mental abilities: eraser head and Hitoshi
Shinso. And there are few who has anything long distance (as example
Kurogiri).

I believe it's mentioned that it's rare. However, it feels like these kind of
abilities should be way-way more effective than close range physical
abilities.

It feels like in MFA world, people who has such type of unusual abilities
should bubble up to the top (specifically to fight villains). This is
especially true, taking into account that gadgets can easily suppliment they
physical abilities.

Why most of the heroes have close range physical quirks?


This is just my personal opinion:

In the anime, it was only mentioned for Kurogiri that it is rare for someone
to have warping abilities.

Besides that, I believe one of the reason that people with unusual ability,
such as Eraserhead, are not able to easily bubble to the top is because in
order to use their quirks, they have to pay _relatively_ higher cost
(regardless the nature of the cost) than others, like Eraser head have

> eye issues, which is now affecting his daily life

and also for Shinso, he

> cannot activate his quirk by himself, and at least as of now, he cannot use
> his quirk freely as he please due to the stress it places on himself

Furthermore, since we know these are unusual quirks, it wouldn't be a surprise
if people gang up on them to bring them down, just like

> How the league of villians took down Eraserhead, though there were obviously

However, in All Might's case, people have tried to bring him down since
forever. A good example is once again, the

> injuries from All For One. If it wasn't, he would definitely beat them -
> Which implies directly that he is just that overwhelming in terms of "Close
> range physical attack"

Therefore, they don't become top heroes, though they are definitely way above
average.
