All For One, otherwise known as Zen Shigaraki, is the main antagonist My Hero Academia, and is considered by many to be the most powerful villain in history. Thanks to his Quirk, All For One could steal other Quirks and use them as his own. The character could also raze a city to the ground and overwhelm many of them MHAThe strongest heroes, and although he seems to be unbeatable, there are several Quirks that can perfectly counter his abilities.
Many of the Quirks that fight All For One are Pro Heroes, but a few Villain Quirks can counter them as well. One of these Quirks can wipe out All For One, while another can destroy him with a simple touch, and another Quirk can render him powerless for a short time. Ironically, All For One would be thrilled to steal all of these Quirks.

These are the deadliest Quirks in My Hero Academia, from Double's Clone Army to Decay's City Disintegration.

The intangibility of penetration prevents all attacks and the ability to steal with a quirk
Permeation is a very difficult Quirk to master, but as shown by Mirio Togata, it's powerful enough to make someone a #1 pro hero. It gives the user the ability to phase matter, making them essentially intangible, and depending on the situation, the user can choose to affect the entire body or just specific parts. When passing through solid objects in succession, the user can cancel penetration and rebound at high speed to perform hard attacks.
Permeation's intangibility would make All For Ones attacks useless as they would simply phase through the user's body. Even shockwaves and energy attacks would be ineffective. All For One wouldn't even be able to steal Permeation because his hands wouldn't be able to physically touch the user. All the user would have to do at that point is to put on the All For One with a flurry of high-speed strikes.

Brainwashing would bypass all of a person's physical abilities through mind control
Brainwashing is the type of Quirk that would normally be associated with villains, and given how everyone likes to speak for one, it's surprising he didn't try to steal it. The user can force others to obey all their commands through mind control. Brainwashing can take control of multiple people, but must be activated on one person at a time.
Brainwashing only works if the target verbally responds to the user, but also requires the user to willingly activate it – otherwise they would never be able to talk to someone. If All For One reacted to Brainwashing, he would immediately feel dazed and slightly confused. The user could order All For One to stop moving and be captured. As long as no one hit All For One hard enough to cancel the mind control, it could stop him.
6
Rewinding could wipe everything for one and all of its jokes out of existence
Rewind is the result of an extremely rare mutation, and while it has incredible healing powers, it is also one of the most dangerous Quirks in My Hero Academia. The user can return the body of another living being back to its previous state. This means that the user can repair severed limbs and serious injuries, but only if enough energy is stored in their horn.
What makes Rewind so dangerous is the fact that the user can send someone back to the point where they were never born, effectively erasing them from existence. All For One's immense power comes from all the Quirks he has stored, and Rewind could return his body to the point where he never got them. Of course, it could also be used to delete it. All For One used a version of Rewind on himself during Final War that ended up erasing his original body, so it definitely works on him.
My Hero Academia: The 7 Most Useless Jokes in the Series
Jokes come in many shapes and forms. While every gimmick has its uses, some can be considered borderline useless in MHA.

An overhaul could destroy everything for one body in a split second
Overhaul may not have awakened during the series, but it's still one of the few God-tier Quirks v My Hero Academia. The user essentially has complete control over matter, as they can take apart any living or inanimate thing with their hands and then reassemble it as they please. The only real downside is that Overhaul becomes useless if the user somehow loses both hands.
By touching the ground, Overhaul can change the surrounding terrain to the user's advantage. If All For One used Quirks from the air to range, Overhaul could create defensive structures tough enough to withstand attacks. In melee, no amount of stolen resistance and healing Quirks could save All For One from Overhaul. If the user scratched the All For One's body for even a second, the villain's body would be blown to pieces.
4
Compress could turn everyone into harmless marble for one
Compress is a very useful Quirk if someone needs to move or steal things, but it can also give someone a guaranteed win during a fight. The user has the ability to shrink anything inside the spherical area into a small marble. The transformation can be canceled at any time if the user snaps their fingers, and there is seemingly no limit to the number of objects that can be compressed at once.
When Compress is used against a person, their entire body can be trapped inside the marble. This is how the League of Villains kidnapped Bakugo. Since the user is the only person who can reverse the transformation, even someone as powerful as All For One would not be able to break free. Compress can also target specific areas, meaning it can permanently separate limbs or split someone apart. The user would have to get close to All For One, but they would be able to defeat him instantly if they turned him into a harmless marble.

One for all has stopped for one more than once
One For All is the complete opposite of All For One and his Quirk-stealing ability, and she has defeated him more than once, proving that he is completely against it. At its core, One For All grants the user superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance, and reflexes. With sufficient mastery, the user can also take advantage of previous users' quirks. This allows them to sense danger, create black whips, levitate, store kinetic energy, and produce smokescreens.
Despite all his power, All For One was defeated and seriously injured by the main All Might, who could only use One For All's basic abilities. All For One was badly defeated for the second time by a direct hit from the remains of One For All, proving that its durability is no match for it. At full power, One For All could take out All For One with a single blow to the chest or head.
2
The new order could technically destroy everything for one from the inside
All For One stated that Star and Stripe was one of the few pro heroes he was interested in because she had an insanely powerful Quirk. If Tomura hadn't dealt with his identity crisis during their fight, the New Order would have destroyed him. All For One is perfectly aware of who he is, which means the New Order's reality-altering power would take him down pretty quickly.
While New Order is active, the user can manipulate and grant new properties to other animate or inanimate things around them by applying new rules to them. The user must physically touch the object and call out its name. If touched by All For One, New Order could force all the stolen Quirks in his body to rebel until they destroy him from the inside. The New Order could also set a rule that weakened All For One's body to the point of death, leaving him too powerless to fight back. Anyone could beat him at that point.
My Hero Academia: The 10 Jokes With the Most Wasted Potential, Ranked
My Hero Academia is home to several incredibly powerful powers, but many of them were never allowed to be used to their full potential and were destroyed.

Erasure should be able to nullify everything for one's quirks
Erasure is a simple but effective Quirk. In fact, he is easily one of the My Hero Academia's strongest Pro Hero Quirks, which is why Tomura tried to destroy him several times. Erasure has the power to nullify other Quirks if the target's physical body is visible to the user. Multiple individuals can have their Quirks temporarily erased at once, but Erasure is deactivated if the user blinks or if the target hides behind something.
Erasure would take away All For One's ability to steal Quirks, meaning Erasure wouldn't be able to take. Since All For One can only access his stolen abilities through his own Quirk, he won't be able to use either of them. By removing all of his Quirks, All For One would become an ordinary human, meaning that any professional hero or villain could take him down at that point.
