Level 5

Level 5, also known as Person with Super Powers (超能力者, chounouryokusha? ), is the highest current Level that espers have achieved in Academy City. Only seven people out of the 1.8 million students in Academy City have been given this rank, which shows how difficult it is to reach.

The seven who have achieved Level 5 are generally considered monsters, as they are capable of fighting alone against a military force on equal terms.

Observations
A particular object of notability of all the Level 5 Espers is a recurring instance of mental instability, be it comedic or serious. Misaka, the first Level 5 seen in then series, has a comedic obsession with defeating Kamijou Touma. Sogiita Gunha believes himself to be an ally of justice and purposely acts in accordance of superheroes in fiction. Accelerator, Kakine, Mugino, and Shokuhou all demonstrate more sociopathic tendencies and willingness to kill people on whim, though this may be more related to their background more anything else.
