Tough Grab
CharacterTough Grab works under Ingenium as one of Team Idaten's sidekicks in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, a slab of a man in armored gloves. He turns up for the bat villain brawl and again at the Sky Egg, but the spin-off has kept almost everything about him, temperament and Quirk alike, off the page.
Appearance
The gloves are the first thing anyone registers: armored, with cuffs so exaggerated they reach the middle of his forearms. Tough Grab himself is burly and wide-framed, his jaw chiseled, his eyes without pupils, his blonde hair cut into a short flattop.
The rest of the costume reads as workwear. He wears jeans on a silver-buckled belt with brown work boots to the shin, and a black tank top layered over a sleeveless vest in pale brown.
Personality
Nothing has been established about how the man thinks or behaves. He appears strictly in the line of duty alongside the rest of Team Idaten, and the story has yet to give him a moment of his own.
