Synopsis

Ethan Drive (イーサン・ドライブ Īsan Doraibu?) is a fighter pilot, leader of his brigade, and ally of Star and Stripe.

Appearance[]

Ethan is a tall man with a well-built body, a buzz cut on his head, and a moustache.

Personality[]

As part of the American military, Ethan carries all the qualities of a strong soldier and is a great comrade to his companions.

Even from their early days, he and his brothers-in-arms developed a strong relationship with Cathleen, encouraging her when she felt down, telling her she's already surpassed All Might to them, and how they will always be there to back her up when she reaches the limits of her Quirk. He has come face to face with death many times and was proud of Cathleen’s growth.

He also carries some self-sacrificial traits, willing to let Cathleen destroy him if it meant also taking down Tomura Shigaraki, which she couldn't go through with. He greatly mourned her death after her own sacrifice to try and stop him, proceeding to provide all their data to the Japanese Heroes to assist them in the final fight, as Star's last wish.

Abilities[]

Piloting a X-66 fighter

Overall Abilities: Being a member of the United States Army, Ethan is likely a competent soldier who has gone through military training, being taught in hand-to-hand combat and how best to approach dangerous situations and enemies, with it being said that he has had many brushes with death. Notably, when Star and Stripe, America's No. 1 Hero, first joined her team, Ethan often took her on and defeated her in non-Quirk combat training, a testament to Ethan's great fighting strength.

  • Expert Pilot: As their Bravo Leader, Ethan demonstrates his great ability at not only commanding his fellow pilots, but also flying his own X-66 airship. This includes precision in his movements, as well as being able to accurately shoot lasers at his enemy.

Trivia[]

  • According to Ethan's Volume 34 profile:[2]
    • His favorite things are vehicles.
    • Upon meeting Cathleen, the two would engage in bare-knuckle, non-Quirk combat training. Ethan would usually emerge as the winner in these fights, but a few years after, Cathleen would start to defeat him. While their sparring stopped after that, Ethan looks back on these times fondly.
    • Kohei Horikoshi likes Ethan and his character.
