Lion
CharacterLion hands Shishido the raw physical gifts of the big cat it is named for, pairing predatory speed with predatory strength. Its most striking demonstration is vocal rather than physical, since the roar it produces can cancel out Orcinus and his paralyzing hypersonic waves.
Overview
Lion is a close-range Mutant Quirk carried by the Pro Hero Shishido. It reaches audiences through the Hero League Baseball special, which supplies everything currently documented about how the ability behaves.
Mechanics
The Quirk lends its owner a lion's physical qualities, chiefly the animal's strength and its speed, and lets him fight using both.
Those same attributes extend to his voice. Shishido can loose a roar forceful enough to cancel the hypersonic waves Orcinus emits, neutralizing an attack that would otherwise leave its targets paralyzed.
