Suicide Bomb
CharacterSuicide Bomb is a Vigilantes-original Quirk defined almost entirely by implication. Its holder can apparently trigger enormous blasts centered on his own body, and the strong suggestion is that the detonation may claim the user along with everything nearby.
Overview
Carried by the villain known as the Suicide Bomber, this mutant-type Quirk debuts in Chapter 6+ Alpha of Vigilantes. Its listed range is proximity based, which fits a power whose effect radiates outward from the person holding it.
Very little has been pinned down. The exact workings were never spelled out, leaving the name itself to carry most of the explanatory weight.
Mechanics
Going by the title and what is shown, the ability appears to produce massive explosions that engulf the wielder and wreck the surrounding area. No detonation method, yield, or cooldown has been established.
One detail hints at a dangerous quirk of the mechanism. Endeavor's Hellflame was named the worst possible opposing power, a warning that implies the blast can be set off by an outside source rather than only by its holder's intent. The record also carries the suggestion that the explosion is capable of killing the user.
Notable Users
The Suicide Bomber is the only known holder, and his appearance is confined to the Vigilantes continuity.
Enji Todoroki figures into the entry indirectly. His Hellflame is cited as the matchup most likely to end badly, a comparison that says more about how the Quirk can be provoked than about any confrontation between the two.
