Soda Pop Boys
CharacterThe Soda Pop Boys are a seven-member idol group signed to the same talent agency as Sweet Mask. Two of them hold C-Class hero licenses. After breaking from the Hero Association, the band realigns with the Neo Heroes and rebrands as the Neo Soda Pop Boys.
Overview
This boy band fields seven performers, two of whom cleared the bar to register as C-Class heroes under the Hero Association. The seven dress alike in pale checkered suits worn over a white shirt and tie, a look Sweet Mask dismisses as a cheap knockoff of his own. Originally attached to the Hero Association, the group later severs that tie and throws its lot in with the Neo Heroes.
Role
In the Psychic Sisters Arc, the band's manager presents the group to Sweet Mask, who flatly rejects them, branding them an ugly imitation and copycats. The insult stings Cherion, who vows the group will surpass Sweet Mask and throws down a challenge, only for the members to feel a sudden cold dread as Sweet Mask's welt-like markings surface on his neck. By the Neo Heroes Uprising Arc, the band resurfaces to rescue Great Philosopher from a pack of monsters, now openly aligned with the Neo Heroes and styling themselves the Neo Soda Pop Boys. Among themselves they grow eager to kill Sweet Mask once his true nature comes out.
Notable Members
Cherion is the group's most vocal figure, the one who openly defies Sweet Mask, alongside fellow member Fantas. Five further members round out the seven-man lineup but go unnamed. The band shares its talent agency with Sweet Mask and shifts allegiance from the Hero Association to the Neo Heroes.
