Dabi

Dabi is a major supporting character and villain affiliated with the League of Villains and a member of the organization's Vanguard Action Squad. He and the rest of his team serve as the main antagonists of the Forest Training Camp Arc. He also serves as an antagonist for the Pro Hero Arc.

Appearance
Dabi is a fairly tall and slim young man described to be in his twenties. He has black, spiky hair and turquoise eyes. Dabi's most striking feature is his patchwork face and the major sections of his body that are detailed with sections of skin that are purple colored and deeply wrinkled. The borders between those areas and the rest of his smooth and pale skin appear to be held together by crude surgical staples or hoop piercings. Rows of staples extend from the corners of his mouth to above his ears, giving him somewhat of a permanent grin. His eyes are also heavily lidded.

Dabi has several silver helix piercings in both ears and a silver triple nostril piercing. He wore dark blue pants that were torn just above his ankles and a matching dark blue coat over a simple white shirt along with black shoes. He also sported a grey belt attached to a small brown leather pouch around his waist.

Since joining the Vanguard Action Squad, Dabi received a villain costume. He now sports a much larger dark blue coat with white stitch designs across the shoulders. The cape of the coat reaches down to Dabi's knees and is torn at the end. The coat's sleeves extend to just above Dabi's elbows, which are finished with two thick, grey, circular cuffs that cover his biceps. He wears the same white shirt and grey belt, but sports black boots and darker pants.

Personality
Dabi is a stoic, aloof, confident, and focused individual who rarely shows emotion. While rather crude and violent, he is actually very intelligent and cautious, choosing to retreat when Mirko arrived to aid Endeavor and made sure not to divulge too much information to Hawks about High-End because of the infancy of their relationship.

Debi is intolerant of most people and can be very derisive. He insulted Tomura immediately after meeting him and constantly does the same to his allies and his enemies. He was reluctant to introduce himself, rudely brushing off Tomura's inquiry about his true name.

Despite his usual expressionless behavior, Dabi finds joy in establishing himself as a villain fighting against what he believes to be false heroes. He takes pleasure in taunting heroic figures, students and pro-heroes alike. He even takes sadistic pleasure from the pain he inflicts on others, including the people he's murdered.

Dabi is dedicated to the Hero Killer: Stain's mission and desires to destroy superhuman society. He is focused on his goals and remains steadfast through the League of Villains movements. Dabi's motivations outweigh his personal feelings, loyally following Tomura despite coming to blows when they first met. Although he laughed when he remembered murdering Snatch, Dabi appears to relate to families who suffer because of heroes and villains.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Dabi is a highly capable villain, stated to be the strongest member of the Vanguard Action Squad and its leader. He has the power and the intellect to contend with a multitude of Pro-Heroes. Dabi's Clones of Dabi created by Twice were noted to be weaker than the actual villain, but they still were enough to hold off both Vlad King and Eraserhead during the forest invasion. He was able to easily repel the Bakugo Escort Squad and eventually restrained Katsuki Bakugo by himself with one hand. Dabi was able to overpower Snatch in their battle on the highway, as well as severely damage Endeavor and Hawks.

Keen Intellect: Dabi has shown to be quite smart and strategic. He formed a plan to send clones of himself to distract the Pro Heroes while trapping students in the forest, only suffering three casualties bewteen the villains after capturing Katsuki. Dabi is very observant to everything around him, whetever being reading someone's intentions or Quirks' weaknesses. He easily identified Tomura's instability and effortlessly saw through Shoto Todoroki's stoic nature with just a glance, as well as the limits of Snatch's Quirk which exploit them.

Quirk
Unnamed Fire Quirk: Dabi's fire Quirk grants him the ability to generate blue flames from his body instantaneously, expelling them at will from any part body with minimun effort. His flames are extremely hot and it is believed their temperature is higher than that of normal fire, being enough to burn entire group of villains into ash in mere seconds. He also can combust anything he touches, including hard materials such as rocks and cement.

Offensively, Dabi uses his flames from certain distance by using fireballs and flamethrower-like attacks, setting forest ablaze by only touching a single tree. He also can form bursts of fire. Defensively, Dabi can generate enough flames to form massive walls, surrounding his targets.

Quotes

 * (To the Vanguard Action Squad) "This will just be a signal fire. We'll fill those heroes full of holes... and put them in their place. All for a brighter future."
 * (To Shota Aizawa) "Quite worthy of being an instructor at U.A. Ain't that right, hero? Is it cuz your students are so precious? Hope you got what it takes to protect them... See ya later."
 * (To Vlad King) "Why not get cocky? You're playing right into our hands. The second you lost the initiative signaled your defeat. You've got the top hero-training academy, U.A., and the Symbol of Peace, All Might... the two most trusted foundations of our hero-based society. But now one mess after another is shaking that trust... don't you think that loss of faith will spread like wildfire throughout society? Think about it... how your careless administration keeps allowing attack after attack... you're so weak... you couldn't even stop a criminal organization from abducting your students."
 * (To Unnamed Criminals) "If you're trash, at least burn and be kindling for my flames."
