Wolfman
CharacterWolfman is a masked martial artist remembered less for his own fighting than for the scandal tied to his name. During a Super Fight tournament, Garou knocked him out, hid him in a locker, and won the entire bracket while wearing his wolf mask.
Appearance
Little of Wolfman's look is on record beyond the wolf mask he wore into competition.
Personality
His temperament is largely undocumented, though stepping into the ring to test himself against a whole field of martial artists points to a fighter with real nerve.
History
In an earlier Super Fight, Wolfman signed on as a contestant and appeared to sweep every bout to claim the championship. The win proved hollow, since the genuine Wolfman had been left unconscious inside a locker the whole time while Garou fought in his place behind the mask. The fallout reshaped the rules, as the next tournament forbade any competitor from covering their head or face. That prohibition later forced Saitama to enter under the name Charanko while wearing a wig.
