Tanktop Swimmer
CharacterTanktop Swimmer once counted himself among the Tank Topper Army, a Hero Association member kitted out for the water who fought beside his brothers against Garou and the Monster Association before hanging up the role after the association's downfall.
Appearance
Swimming paddles strapped to his hands give away his aquatic theme. Otherwise he matches his brothers, a muscular man with short hair beneath a pale tank top.
Personality
His personality goes largely unaddressed.
History
Swimmer joins the army's pursuit of the Hero Hunter, watching Garou down Tanktop Vegetarian and then Mumen Rider and Tanktop Master, a fight that leaves the entire group hospitalized. He clashes with Monster Association intruders in the hospital corridors. As the heroes battle the fused Psykos and Orochi, he stands with the squad to hear Tanktop Rockabilly speak before a mark Tanktop Master left in the hospital wall, then departs to rejoin their leader. He hauls survivors out of the Z-City rubble and takes part in the pile-on against a battered Garou, ended by Zombieman and King. His later absence from a tanktop meeting suggests he has walked away from hero work. When the giant machine drops on headquarters, he joins the losing fight against its drones and backs off once Metal Knight's rebuilding purpose surfaces. He brawls unarmed at close range like the others. He is said to be a capable crawl swimmer, though his legs oddly kick out sideways.
