Hood (My Hero Academia)

High-End is the main antagonist of the Pro Hero Arc in the anime/manga series, My Hero Academia. He is an advanced artificial human, being the first one to display sentient intelligence and is capable of communication.

Appearance
High-End is very unique among the Nomus in terms of appearance. While he displays similar features to other Nomus, such as muscular physiques, one of his noticeable features is his neck, which happens to be incredibly long and torn up, exposing muscle fibre. His skin at the top of his head appears to function as a hood of sort, the majority of his face, including his brain. He also appears to have large eyes similar to that of Kurogiri's.

Personality
While previous Nomus appear to be entirely mute and seemingly mindless, High-End is the first to display self awareness. He is capable of speaking full English, albeit in a gargling tone. He appears to display a prideful side of him, wishing to take on the strongest there is. Combined with his superhuman capablities, he can come off being quite arrogant.

Despite his newfound intelligence, High-End is no more different from previous Nomus. He is just as obedient as they are, willing to take orders given from his superior.

Pro Hero Arc
High-End was first seen given an unknown task by presumably a member of the League of Villains. He later encounters the two Pro Heroes, Endeavor and Hawks in a restaurant. Crashing through, he demands for the strongest among the two, in which Endeavor blasts him out of the building, prepared to take him on.

Endeavor attempts to take him out with a powerful blast of his Hell Flame, but to his shock, High-End was able to survive and regenerate from the wound left behind, mocking Endeavor's attempt at killing him. Noting how different he is among other Nomus, Endeavor decides to capture him, but High-End was able to grab him and smash him through the building. He then proceeds to bring him around through the walls, eventually bringing down the top of the building and knocking civilians out. Both Hawks and Endeavor attempt to slice him once more, but High-End regenerates once, leaving a haunting smile on his face.

Powers and Abilities
While most likely not as powerful as the original Nomu, High-End is overall a deadly villain and has demonstrated to be one of the most powerful villains among the League of Villains. His pure strength and regeneration alone is enough to overpower the likes of Endeavor and cause massive destruction.

Powers

 * Muscle Augmentation: This Quirk allows High-End to enhance his strength, speed and durability by augmenting the muscle fibres in his body. This is exactly like Muscular's and was either taken from him or cloned.
 * Super Regeneration: Like previous Nomus, High-End possesses the ability to regenerate serious wounds and missing limbs. He was able to regenerate a large portion of his neck back together, as well as other areas on his body.
 * Flight: High-End appears to have a Quirk that enables him to fly by manipulating certain parts of his body, such as his arms and feet, and deploy out wings.
 * Superhuman Strength: High-End is strong enough to overpower Endeavor's might and smash through around an entire building, slicing the top of the building in half.
 * Superhuman Durability: High-End can tank heavy blows, as shown from him enduring Endeavor's attacks then later regenerating from wounds left on him.
