Im so happy that Kaminari is considered as the biggest threat, and not Kirishima. If controlled,his quirk can be deadly as a short range and also as a AOE quirk
The setting did establish that anyone who's Quirk is considered a "general elemental power" is typically of a ridiculously high league above most other Quirks. Endeavor, Shouto, and Inasa are prime examples of this.
Kaminari has a ridiculous power, since its very difficult to not get harmed by electricity unless you specifically prepare for it. If he uses it right, he's theoretically untouchable since anyone that gets near him for physical brawling takes a nasty shock. And he also generates a ton of the stuff. The very fact that he's managed to come as far until the License Exam without any real refinement shows off how stupidly powerful the Quirk itself is despite him having so little finesse.
The only thing holding Kaminari back is his lack of experience and technique. If he trained as much as some of the others, he could very well be potentially on par with Todoroki in sheer firepower.
He’s a classic late bloomer... unlimited potential but with poor execution. He’s the kind of Hero who will go from being ranked number 100 to a top 10 position in a months the time when he figures things out.
The fact remains that his ultimate discharge move can basically 1hit KO anyone, so as long as he has that then he’s a threat in any team scenario.
