Mosquito
CharacterMosquito is an unremarkable biting insect that briefly plagued Saitama during the House of Evolution arc. Its knack for dodging his every swat became a running joke, until Genos wiped out the whole swarm it belonged to with a single blast.
Appearance
Nothing sets it apart from an everyday specimen of its kind, right down to the familiar wings and the slender feeding stinger.
History
While Saitama tends to his cactus, the insect settles on his arm. His attempt to smash it fails as the pest darts off untouched, and the miss so irritates him that he rises and keeps swinging at it. Its final moment comes as it flees a can of bug spray; Genos points out the huge cloud of insects gathering nearby, then clears them all, this one included, with his Incineration Cannon.
Abilities
For all appearances an ordinary pest, it somehow slipped past each of Saitama's swats, a feat played entirely for laughs. Its wings grant it flight like any of its kind, and its needle-like proboscis lets it pierce skin and draw blood for nourishment.
