Hero Association Catalog
ItemA public catalogue the Hero Association publishes to profile its ranks, listing each hero's name, rating, and signature moves. Its accuracy is spotty, since the strongest heroes guard their secrets while lesser ones overshare for fame.
Overview
The Hero Association catalog is a book the organization releases so the general public can learn about its registered heroes, covering details such as each one's name, rank, and special combat techniques.
Function
The catalogue's information is far from reliable. Lower-ranked heroes often volunteer their secret moves and fighting styles freely, chasing publicity and the goodwill of fans. Heroes at A-Class and above, and the S-Class in particular, tend to withhold their true capabilities, keeping their techniques hidden so that monsters and villains cannot study their weaknesses and undermine their standing.
