Sickle Claw
CharacterSickle Claw is one of roughly seventy low-tier criminals Tomura Shigaraki gathered for the assault on the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, making him a minor antagonist of the U.S.J. Arc. Iron takes the place of his fingers, and he throws himself at Eraser Head the moment the hero looks vulnerable.
Appearance
Four heavy claws replace the fingers on hands cast entirely in iron. The rest of him is no less strange: a hairless, stretched-out skull, a mouth crowded with a wide set of teeth, and eyes mounted far apart on stalks growing from his head. He is short, and thoroughly deformed.
His clothing is a sleeveless gi in dark blue with loafers to match. My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero redraws him with longer claws that run partway up his forearms and adds a light blue belt.
Personality
Nothing concrete has been established about his temperament. The one safe inference is confidence: anyone volunteering to storm the staff of U.A. High School must rate his own chances fairly highly.
History
His Quirk, Iron Claws, is the whole of his arsenal, giving him the long metallic claws on his fingers that his villain name refers to. He fights in melee, and is graded an F-rank villain. The name itself only ever appears in My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero.
He was among the villains who invaded the U.S.J. behind Tomura Shigaraki. Shota Aizawa moved to shield the students, and when Tomura wounded him with Decay, Sickle Claw and several others jumped on the opening. The hero put them all down without difficulty. Sickle Claw was arrested once the Pro Heroes arrived.
