Giant Villain
CharacterThe Giant Villain holds a small but permanent place in the series: he is the very first villain it ever shows. A D-rank crook with Gigantification, he swipes a bag, gets cornered at Tatooin Station, and ends up the launching pad for Mt. Lady's debut in front of the cameras.
Appearance
Something equine or shark-like defines the head, set on a wide, heavily muscled frame that reads as beastly more than human. Dark brown dreadlocks hang off his head, and a beard in reddish brown wraps the jawline. His clothing has already lost the fight: a black shirt with the sleeves torn away and the front split open, worn over blue jeans.
Personality
Almost nothing is recorded about him beyond the obvious. Selfishness drove him to steal, and nerve drove him to square up against Pro Heroes even after they had already boxed him in.
History
After snatching someone's bag, he is run down at Tatooin Station by Backdraft, Death Arms, and Kamui Woods. Kamui Woods takes the first shot at him, but the capture belongs to Mt. Lady, whose Canyon Cannon Super Move puts him on the ground. Officers restrain him while she turns to greet the waiting press.
His Quirk, Gigantification, swells his body to enormous proportions, and it is the only reason three Heroes were needed at all. He was booked as a D-rank villain, and he has the distinction of being the first villain the series ever put on the page.
