A C-rank criminal whose bulked-out shoulder muscles arch over his skull like a hood, Trapezius Headgear first troubles the pro ranks during the U.S.J. Arc by grabbing a family as leverage. Years later the mass prison breaks return him to the field, though the Final War ends with him back behind bars.
Round white eyes and a wide mouth are all that surface from the cowl of muscle draped across this villain's skull, since the growth rising off his shoulders curves forward and swallows the rest of his face. Beneath it stands a towering, pink-skinned frame packed with bulk.
His original outfit pairs plated cargo trousers with a partial vest of armor, a chain slung across one shoulder. He trades all of that for plain overalls and boots by the time of the Final War.
Cowardice and cruelty sit side by side in him. Rather than face pursuit honestly he seizes a family and promises to hurt them should anyone follow, then spends the standoff jeering at the heroes about how fast he is and boasting that his scheme is already as good as finished.
His debut has him rampaging through a town with civilians in his grip while Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady fail to find an opening, a struggle that implies real strength on his part. The bragging ends when All Might arrives unnoticed behind him and settles the matter with a single Missouri Smash, freeing the hostages.
Trap Flex, his Quirk, is what produces the shoulder growth. Flexing those muscles to ridiculous extremes lends him speed and power, though nothing close to One For All, which is why a single strike behind the skull finished him.
Prison could not hold him once All For One broke out of Tartarus and tore through facilities across the country. All For One later summoned him with other criminals and Paranormal Liberation Front members for the Final War, and Operation Troy scattered the villain ranks, sending him to the Gunga Mountain Villa front. He was taken into custody again once the fighting ended.
One small difference between versions: the manga has him raise his middle finger at the pros he is facing, a gesture the anime replaces with a closed fist.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
