Saitama

from One-Punch ManPopular character

Saitama is the deadpan hero of One-Punch Man — a caped everyman who trained so hard he can defeat literally any opponent with a single punch, leaving him unbeatable and utterly bored.

Background

An ordinary job-hunter who became a hero "for fun," Saitama followed a brutally simple training regimen until he broke his own limits — and then kept going. Now nothing can challenge him, and his greatest struggle is the crushing boredom of invincibility.

Powers & Abilities

AbilityWhat it does
One-punch victoryEnds virtually any fight with a single blow
Limitless physiqueSpeed, strength and durability beyond measurement
Unshakeable calmNever rattled, no matter the threat

Personality

Laid-back, frugal and refreshingly humble, Saitama cares little for fame or ranking. Beneath the boredom is a genuine hero who fights for the simple satisfaction of helping.

Role in the Story

Saitama's invincibility flips the superhero genre on its head, making One-Punch Man both a hilarious comedy and a sly deconstruction of power.
