Drunkard
CharacterA low-ranked C-Class hero whose perpetually red face earned him an unwanted nickname. He belongs to the Hero Name Victims Association, a band of heroes campaigning against the embarrassing names the Hero Association pinned on them.
Appearance
Deep wrinkles and cheeks that stay flushed give this hero his distinctive face, which he tops with a headband and dresses in a plain vest and pants. He is quick to insist that the redness has nothing to do with drinking and stems instead from a condition he was born with.
Personality
Little is documented about him beyond his central grievance. He resents the name the Hero Association handed him and readily throws his weight behind rallies meant to force the complaint into public view.
History
Marching with the Hero Name Victims Association, Drunkard turns up at the group's headquarters in A-City, where they enlist Saitama by declaring his name the most ridiculous in A-Class. The heroes later regroup with signs and slogans and set out to demonstrate, only for an alert about five simultaneous Dragon-level monsters to cut the protest short.
When the robot Mirror strikes the Hero Association Headquarters, Drunkard and his fellow malcontents rush in and are swiftly beaten, forcing a retreat. He then watches Saitama flatten Mirror with a single punch after the machine makes the mistake of addressing the bald hero by his hero name.
