High End Nomu is actually a weird character to draw inspiration from when writing a workout, but a character that is extremely powerful nevertheless.
Our new My Hero Academia Mini Workout Database has been filling up quickly and exploding with awesome characters, but now it’s time for us to add some more villains to the list.
Our Anime Workouts Database will also be improved by this considering we tend to have heroes and the “good guys” requested more-so then we see the bad guys!
But, just as I wrote our new listicle about the Top Ranked Pro My Hero Academia Heroes, I want to also be fair and include the villains in our upcoming listicle about the most powerful My Hero Academia characters of all time!
High End Nomu Stats:
Real Name: Hood
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Anime: My Hero Academia
Powers: Yes
It’s safe to assume Hood, AKA High End Nomu is huge.
And when I say huge, I mean gigantic, considering during it’s fight with Endeavor he [Endeavor] was dwarfed!
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

High End Nomu Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

High End Nomu Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
Technically speaking some of these images aren’t actually “Hood” or “High End Nomu”, but rather just Nomu.
The image above is what Hood looks like, which is the Nomu we’re going o be focusing in on for this one.
To start us off we’ll still be pulling from Hood’s Wiki Fandom to give a brief background and bio:
Hood also known simply as High-End was one of twelve of Doctor Garaki’s intelligent High-End Nomu and the primary antagonist of the Pro Hero Arc.
To give you an idea of the differences between Hood and regular Nomu, here’s what their Wiki Fandom has to say about them:
The Nomu, sometimes referred to as Artificial Humans, are deceased individuals whose bodies have been heavily modified by Doctor Kyudai Garaki in order to hold multiple Quirks and reanimated to act as mindless super-soldiers for the League of Villains, and later, the Paranormal Liberation Front.
As for appearance, here’s what Hood’s Wiki states about his:
Hood resembled other Nomu but with a large, muscular build and a comparatively long neck. His head was shrouded in darkness by a hood of skin and the muscles on neck and shoulders were left exposed.
As far as Hood’s powers, his levels are extraordinary. He was able to take on both Endeavor and Hawks simultaneously (as his Wiki will describe further).
Here’s what they lead with:
Overall Abilities: The first of the High-End breed of Nomu, Hood was an extraordinarily powerful being that bore the capacity to contend with, and outclass top Pro Heroes and cause mass destruction, singlehandedly. He confronted Endeavor and Hawks, the new respective No. 1 and No. 2 Pro Heroes, and was able to repeatedly evade or recover from Endeavor’s fire attacks and outmatch him in power thanks to his multiple quirks and augmented body.
With their fight being drawn-out, Hood was blasted by a weakened Endeavor’s strongest technique, Prominence Burn, yet Hood underwent another self-decapitation to avoid total annihilation. Hood continued to outpace Endeavor and was only defeated by the joint effort of Endeavor and Hawks.
- Immense Strength: Hood was incredibly strong even by Nomu standards. He was able to cling to the side of a concrete building with gripping strength alone. Hood can combine his Power, Muscle Augmentation, and Transforming Arms Quirks to increase his strength even further, as shown when he swung his elongated arm through the entire width of a skyscraper nearly bringing down the top floors of the building. At the same time, Hood used his strength to push Endeavor through multiple solid walls.
- Enhanced Speed: Complementing his high degree of physical strength, Hood boasts a great degree of movement and reaction speed as well. He was shown to outpace Endeavor through out their fight, avoiding all his attacks including a surprise Jet Burn from behind and even claimed Endeavor was slow. Hood’s speed was said to be even with the Number 2 Hero, Hawks who is a hero known for his incredibly high speed.
- Flight: Through a combination of his Transforming Arms and Shoulder-Mounted Jets, Hood was capable of manipulating his body structure to allow him to fly through the air at high speed, easily keeping pace with Hawks, one of the fastest fighters in the world.
And on top of all this Hood has SIX different Quirks.
A few were mentioned above, but here’s a full breakdown of them:
- Muscle Augmentation: Hood’s Quirk allowed him to augment the muscle fibers in his body, increasing the power and speed of his movements
- Super Regeneration: Hood’s second Quirk gave him the ability to regenerate from any damage he takes. He could even regenerate cells that had been burned. As long as his head remained intact, Hood could regenerate his entire body.
- Shoulder-Mounted Jets: Hood’s third Quirk gave him jets on the back of his shoulders. These jets allowed him to propel himself through the air and fly.
- Transforming Arms: Hood’s fourth Quirk allowed him to shapeshift his arms. This gave him the ability to unleash powerful, elastic attacks. He could also turn them into wings to assist with his flight.
- Power: Hood’s fifth Quirk allowed his body to contain and unleash enormous physical power. He used this to enhance the strength of his attacks.
- Storage: Hood’s sixth Quirk gave him the power to store other beings within his own body and release them at will. His limit appeared to be nine.
As you can tell: Hood’s power was immense.
I’m sure it’s beginning to become pretty clear why I want him for our most powerful list (if it wasn’t already).
For this one you need to be prepared to train HEAVY. We’re going to be lifting heavy weight and letting the speed come from that.
