Garou

Growing up, Garou cheered for villains in his favorite TV shows, dismayed by their inevitable defeats despite their efforts. He trained as a martial artist under S-Class hero Bang but grew tired of the dojo, defeating its members and embarking on a ‘Hero hunt’ to battle and defeat ranked heroes, evolving into a self-styled near-unstoppable monster and one of the most dangerous threats to the Hero Association and Saitama.
