C-Class Hero Alliance

The alliance brings together a broad assortment of C-Class heroes who team up in hopes of climbing the association rankings. Their signature is a van whose plate reads CQHERO, a play on the Japanese word for class, kyu, which sounds like the letter Q, so the plate effectively spells out C-Class Hero.

Members come equipped in wildly different ways. Some rely on tools and weapons, such as Gasmask Cowboy with his lasso and revolver, while others like Red Muffler and D-Pad lean purely on their own physical ability.

The group tends to show up in the thick of larger events, usually in supporting roles. Early on they crowded into their van to reach the Seafolk, grumbling to D-Pad about its sluggish pace as Saitama and Genos sped past them on foot. During the hero hunt, Red Nose boasted of his martial arts while patrolling with Hyottoko and Studless, only for Garou to appear and drop the whole patrol without effort.

When the S-Class clashed with the Monster Association, many alliance members rushed to the Z-City ghost town to pull wounded civilians from the rubble, and they were later among the heroes who mobbed the depowered Garou before Zombieman and King intervened. Afterward, inspired by Tanktop Master, several of them donned tanktops and were welcomed into the Tank Topper Army.

The alliance counts D-Pad, Funeral Suspenders, Red Muffler, Skunk Boy Gasmask, Studless, Red Nose, Hyottoko, and Food Battler Futoshi among its active members, alongside a number of unnamed heroes. In extra stories, some of them stormed the Z Police Station to take on Surprise-Attack Plum, and the faction is named by Eyelashes as one of the association's many hero groups.
