Control Horn

Character

Cow Cowboy's power carries no official name, so Control Horn stands in for it. He bends cattle to his will by the hundred, and once threatened to drive a stampede across an entire Japanese province to force his demands through. Cut away one of his horns, though, and the whole thing stops working.

Mechanics

The Quirk grants mind control over cows. Scale is what makes it dangerous. Cow Cowboy handles hundreds of animals at once, and he leverages that herd as a threat, promising to send it stampeding across an entire Japanese province unless his demands were met.

Both horns appear to be required. All Might severs one of them, and the control fails immediately afterward.
