Bearded Worker is the right age to be Blast as well. Blast should be in his late thirties to early fifties. He also looks very similar to Blast from the webcomic, who in turn bears a striking resemblance to Saitama.

There are three problems with this theory. They are minor, but necessary to be dealt with.

First, Tornado knows him but has not seen him for nearly two decades. Although, she was a eleven years old at the time, it has been a while, Blast's face is very common looking, and Tornado's pride blinds her to noticing other. Maybe it could work.

Second, in the sixth episode, Tornado was getting angry, and Bearded worker seemed frightened of Tornado. Either he isn't Blast, or he was refusing to use his powers and feared the destruction of the facility she would cause because he wouldn't take action.

Third, why is he working at the Hero Association as a manager? He's supposedly the most powerful hero in the world. Why is he busy with paperwork? Well, it could work if, as we well know, Blast only appears for God level threats. If he saved every single life he could, he'd be unappreciated because everyone knows it's his job to save the world, like Superman.

Even Boros, though God Level, only used that much power because Saitama was there, so the world was quite safe. Bearded worker probably knew Saitama was beating him, so felt no need to step in.

However, there is one crazy updside to Bearded Worker being Blast. It means we saw Blast in the very first volume and episode of OPM, and that we have seen him all throughout the manga and anime, and we had no idea that the S-Class Rank 1, the ultimate hero Blast, was right under our noses and we had no idea. He even technically attended the S-Class meeting incognito, and wasn't actually absent!
