History

During the Neo Heroes uprising, Poison Punch teams with Heat Edge and Locust Man to confront the underlings of Mastiking, a Dragon-level being perched atop a rooftop. A squad of Neo Heroes cuts in and swiftly wipes out the monsters while Blue takes on Mastiking alone, leaving the onlookers impressed.

By the time of the robot invasion he has joined the Neo Heroes and wears one of their battle suits. The suit seizes control of him, and together with Heat Edge and Locust Man he turns on Chanbara Man. Suiryu tries to step in, only for his own suit to override him as well. Registering as a B-Class hero once marked Poison Punch as far stronger than an average person, and the battle suit sharpens his combat power even further.
