Hammerhead is a minor antagonist from One Punch Man. He is an out-of-work slacker with no desire to find himself a job, so he stole various prototype combat suits and created the Paradise Group along with various other men without jobs, with the intent of changing society so that those who don't want to work won't have to.
He was voiced by Wataru Takagi, who also voiced The Joker in Batman Ninja and Zeus in Record of Ragnarok, and Edward Bosco, who voiced Devo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Franklin Bordeau from Hunter x Hunter.
History[]
With his followers known as the "Paradisers", Hammerhead and his followers began protesting about the endless harsh cycle of economy, wanting to change the society into a utopian world where work is not a necessity.
Using the stolen suits, the group starts causing havoc around the city, destroying a building and confronting the police and C-class hero Mumen Rider, who are unable to fight them as they advance destroying everything in their path. They go after the building of Zeniru, the richest man in town, but they are confronted by Sonic, who was under the employ of Zeniru at that time. Sonic easily kills all of them except for Hammerhead, who manages to defend himself and starts throwing boulders at Sonic. Though Sonic dodges them, he notices they created a straight path, as Hammerhead attempts to counter Sonic's speed by drawing him directly towards him. despite that, Sonic still goes straight on the path, so Hammerhead uses a large tree to crush him, but fails as Sonic appears behind him and throws a kunai on his head, which instantly knocks him out.
As Sonic talks on the phone with Zeniru, Hammerhead escapes, but is stopped by Saitama, who was after the group as well. Hammerhead punches Saitama, but it has no effect on him, so he attacks Saitama by spinning his arms, though Saitama easily blocks the move and punches him, obliterating the armor and leaving Hammerhead naked. Hammerhead pledges for mercy, so Saitama lets him leave if he stops causing trouble. During his escape Hammerhead intercepted by the monsters who owned the combat suits he stole, leaving him behind to die. Hammerhead survives thanks to his thick skull and promises to go find a job.
He was later seen wearing a suit and necktie to prepare for a job application.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Combat Battlesuit: Equipped with a stolen battlesuit, this drastically changes Hammerhead's physiology. His battlesuit can be augmented to further enhance his superpowers.
- Superhuman Strength: Hammerhead's strength exceeds greater than that of an average human. He can create massive shockwaves with a single slam and even lift a boulder and a tree in just a single arm. His punch is so powerful that it caused a great shockwave, although it didn't affect Saitama at all. A battlesuit identical to his own destroyed a massive skyscraper.
- Superhuman Durability: He is able to take considerable punishment. Although his natural physical prowess is already able to, this is further enhanced by his battlesuit, which withstood an attack from Speed-o'-Sound Sonic with minor damage.
- Enhanced Physiology: Despite lacking his suit after his skirmish with Saitama, Hammerhead had above-average physiology. He has survived a kunai strike from the head and an ambush from the monsters who owned the combat suit he stole. His skull is several times thicker than a normal human's, allowing him to endure what would normally be fatal to humans.
- Hand-to-hand Combatant: He has some subpar hand-to-hand combat skills. One of his notable moves including a powerful spin attack that lets him rapidly swings both of his arms. Hammerhead is also quite a good brawler.
