Death Arms

Punching Hero: Death Arms (パンチングヒーローデステゴロ) is a former Pro Hero. He retired due to excessive criticism from the public following the Paranormal Liberation War.

Appearance
Death Arms is a very tall, muscular man of a wide build with slightly-tanned skin. He has a square jaw which juts out a notable amount, small eyes and short white hair, spiked out behind his head.

In his hero costume, he wears large headband with a yellow and black-striped caution pattern, matching his thick wrist-guards and the belt around his waist, a square buckle with a triangular decoration sat in its center. He wears what looks to be a cyan-colored cardigan, which exposes his lower torso and the center of his pectorals, held onto his chest on each side by small metal nuts. His pants are dark blue, a white stripe down each side, and are slightly baggy on him, and his shoes are plain black with a simple design.

Personality
Death Arms is a serious person who dislikes rash actions and behavior, as seen when he scolds Izuku Midoriya for putting himself at risk by attempting to save Katsuki Bakugo.

Despite his tough demeanor and being well-respected for his hero work, he takes criticism hard and feels that one negative comment outweighs ten positive comments. This would ultimately lead to his retirement following the Paranormal Liberation War, unable to handle the pressures of hero work, leaving him sullen and despondent.

Even so, during the Final War, Death Arms acted to save civilians from being crushed by falling debris, remarking on how his body moved by itself to save those in need and recounting how Izuku did the very same thing when they first met, proving that he still has the heart of a hero.

Quirk
Unnamed Arm Strength Quirk: Death Arms' Quirk grants him a superhuman level of strength in his arms. He is able to lift things that are so heavy, they could normally only be moved via industrial machinery.
