Personality

As a silent protagonist, the hero rarely speaks beyond simple yes-or-no replies, a design meant to let players project themselves into the story and feel a part of it. Wordless as the character is, they are plainly heroic and ready to lend a hand to fellow heroes.

Abilities

The Custom Hero starts at level one, feeble and barely able to keep pace with Tiger-level threats, but rises to the maximum level of ninety-nine and into S-Class, finishing as the game's second-strongest fighter behind only Saitama. Their defining trait is versatility, since they can soak up an enormous range of combat styles.

A Standard track pulls moves from figures such as Saitama, Bang, and Garou, including a copy of Saitama's serious punch. A Power track comes from the Tank-Top heroes, a Psychic track from Tatsumaki and Fubuki, and Weapon tracks branch off Metal Bat and Atomic Samurai. Machine tracks either turn the hero into a cyborg or hand them Metal Knight and Child Emperor gear, while a Monster track strips away their humanity and grants powers modeled on Boros, Deep Sea King, and others, though without the ability to transform as those beings do.
