School Trip Arc
Mr Compress appears on a tree branch and reveals that he used his “magic” to take Katsuki by turning him into a marble. Mr Compress states that the Heroes don’t deserve someone of Katsuki’s caliber and notes that Katsuki will shine even brighter on the villains’ side. Izuku demands that he give Katsuki back.

The Bakugou Escort Squad, Ochako and Tsuyu come face to face with the magician villain, known as Mr. Compress who has kidnapped Katsuki. Izuku demands that he gives Katsuki back because he would never work with villains due to being his own person. Shouto freezes the tree but Compress evades Shouto’s attack. Mr. Compress states they are attacking the training camp to make a point; that they are proving there is not just one perspective to look at only. Mr. Compress criticizes the Yuuei students’ for having their perspectives and values been chosen for them, displeased that there is no free will. Mezou realizes that Fumikage has also been taken. Shouto surmises that the villain sneaked up behind them and kidnapped Katsuki and Fumikage. Mr. Compress explains that his mission was to capture only Katsuki, but after seeing Fumikage overpower and defeat Moonfish so easily, he decided to kidnap Fumikage as well because of his powerful Quirk and notes that he will prove to be useful. Shouto hands Kousei to Ochako. After doing so, Shouto uses his Giant Ice Wall attack in an attempt to immobilize Mr. Compress. However, Mr. Compress evades and apologizes for only running away and deceiving, admitting that is what he’s good at. Mr. Compress informs the Vanguard Action Squad that their target has been captured; he tells his fellow villains that the mission is done and states that they have five minutes to rendezvous at the “collection point”. Shouto refuses to allow them to succeed in their mission and prepares to chase after him.

Mr. Compress begins escaping and is unimpressed with the Hero cadets. Suddenly, he sees Izuku, Mezou and Shouto flying towards him. After Ochako deactivates her Quirk, Izuku, Mezou and Shouto land on top of Mr. Compress and smash him into the ground near the Vanguard Action Squad's rendezvous point.

Quirk and Abilities
Mr. Compress is a dangerous villain. He considers himself an expert in deception and illusion. True to his words, he was able to restrain Katsuki and Fumikage without their comrades noticing, and he was spotted only when he decided to make his presence known.

Unnamed Quirk: Mr. Compress is in possession of a Quirk which allows him to turn his selected targets into marbles, rendering them helpless and easy to transport. While it is unclear how it works, it appears this Quirk can be used in absolute stealth, without noise and before the victim can attract the attention of nearby allies.

Physical Prowess: Mr. Compress is endowed with quick reflexes and impressive acrobatic skills. He was able to dodge Shouto's ice, even when the latter used his Giant Ice Wall, with little effort, despite being on top of a tree. He is also very fast, quickly distancing the Yuuei students by running on the treetops.
