Neito Monoma, also known as "Phantom Thief", is a recurring character in the anime series My Hero Academia. He is the egotistical rival of Class 1-A, wanting to prove that Class 1-B is superior to them.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) First of all, he always bullies Class 1-A to the point that he thinks his class is better than them, creating needless animosity towards the two classes. Thankfully, he always gets a taste of his own medicine.
 * 2) He often makes fun of Class 1-A whenever they fail at something, using the opportunity to throw stones at them and mocking Todoroki and Bakugo for failing the Provisional Hero License Exams.
 * 3) He makes fun of Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Sato and Ashido for failing the final exams, yet was the only one in Class 1-B to fail.
 * 4) He forced Itsuka Kendo to take part in a beauty pageant so that Class 1-B could come out on top.
 * 5) He tricked a foreign exchange student into unintentionally mocking Class 1-A.
 * 6) He tries way too hard to be cool.
 * 7) He is annoying to the point that he makes Squilliam Fancyson from Spongebob Squarepants look better, handsome, and popular in comparison.
 * 8) He is the worst example of the Alpha Mean Guy.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He was more toned down when first introduced.
 * 2) He always gets a taste of his own medicine whenever he acts rude to Class 1-A (for example, Kendo chopping him in the neck and Shota Aizawa strangling him with his capture weapon).
 * 3) His design is decent.
 * 4) He's capable of admitting when he's beaten or when people have changed, such as seeing Bakugo's cooperation with his team during the Joint Training arc.
 * 5) When he's not belittling Class 1-A, he can actually be very supportive and understanding to Class 1-B. He even empathized with Shinso over their similar situations, something that surprised Shinso.
 * 6) He has a very chilled personality.
 * 7) He has a powerful quirk.

Trivia

 * 1) His homeroom teacher is Vlad King, which explains why he has a one-sided rivalry with Class 1-A.
 * 2) His design was based on Dane DeHaan's version of the Green Goblin from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
