Stain emerged as an unstoppable villain who only killed heroes, but this is not the case. His goal of killing only people he deems "false heroes" makes him have a very antagonistic, becoming an anti-hero who acts out of scruples to shake up society and make them wake up, and not depend on false heroes who only do it for status and power, and not for pure heroism like All Might and Deku, from which he deems as true heroes.
