Hair Control
CharacterHair Control is a Transformation Quirk held by two villains, Needle Hair and Martial Hair. Each woman bends her own hair to her will, but the two apply that command very differently: one fires strands like ammunition, while the other confines herself to her ponytails and shapes them into weapons.
Overview
Hair Control is a Transformation Quirk with two known holders, the villains Needle Hair and Martial Hair. It appears in Chapter 14 of the manga and Episode 10 of the anime, and its name was established through the game Strongest Hero.
Because the two users handle it in dissimilar ways, its effective reach is not fixed and instead varies from one holder to the next.
Mechanics
At its base, the Quirk hands its holder command over her own hair, which she can then manipulate in a range of ways.
Needle Hair takes the projectile approach, launching individual strands from her head as though firing bullets. Martial Hair works within a narrower limit, since her control extends only to her ponytails, but she compensates by forming those ponytails into weapons and swinging them at her enemies.
