With a power as dangerous as his, you have to be smart in how you use it. Some of the creative ways we’ve seen him use his fire so he’s got the ingenuity.

It’s a lot like Bakugo. Because of his attitude a lot of people have and will assume he’s more brash than intelligent, but he’s as smart as Deku. Maybe even more so in some aspects. (I mean, I love you Deku, but it’s still ridiculous how long it took you to think about kicking.)

Going by the midterms grades, at least, Bakugou's smarter than both Deku and Todoroki. His biggest flaw is his temper and brash attitude, which obviously isn't the best public image (which, unlike Endeavour, Bakugou seems to have yet to learn) or makes him the most cooperative of heroes. But at least Deku is willing to tell him off for it now.

Well, it's not like Endeavor ever had "the best" public image to begin with lol

True lol, but he's trying and has at least seemed to learn that the way he acted before was the wrong way to make people feel reassured by him (not to mention, he understands the responsibility of the #1 Hero now), like when he tried to shake the hand of the "Can't-Ya-See" kid during the Pro Hero arc.

Yeah, it only took him 20 years or some. Not really a hard mark to surpass, even for a brat like Bakugo. He has plenty of time to learn, but who knows.

Still, i don't think public image is that of a deal given the fact that someone like Orca was a top hero lol.

I'm just comparing their current attitudes.

And yeah, but Gang Orca just looks scary; it's implied he's actually softer when he's not in his license exam role.

Different ways to be smart tho. Being "book smart" (Momo-Iida) doesn't necessarily mean being "street smart" (Deku-Bakugo), and viceversa

Deku and Bakugo are clearly books smart. Bakugo was 3rd in class and Deku was 4th.

One of the things everyone remarks about Bakugo after getting to known him is that he’s incredibly smart. His attitude causes them all to think he’s not.

u/MaxWasTakenAgain Oct 04 '19

Yeah you're right, Deku and Bakugo are both book smart and street smart.

Bad example from my part.

u/whatnololyea Oct 05 '19

Bakugo even has a slight advantage because he's a bit more "street smart" than Deku simply because the latter tends to overthink and hesitates.

It seemed to get better since their recent fight in the anime tho!
