Bofoi

Dr. Bofoi (ボフォイ博士, Bofoi Hakase), also known by his hero alias  Metal Knight (メタルナイト, Metarunaito), is the S-Class Rank 6 hero for the Hero Association. He covers many services such as weapons sponsor and facility construction for the Hero Association.

Appearance
Not much is known about Bofoi's real appearance as his full face has only been shown in the webcomic. From what has been seen he has white hair and a large nose. He is also seen wearing a lab coat over his blue shirt. Bofoi acts mainly through the use of robots controlled from a safe distance. Two of his robots have been displayed, the first a large unit capable of flight with a high level of firepower attached. The second was much smaller, roughly human sized and with no visible weaponry, possibly used for reconnaissance.

Personality
He appears to have an avid interest in any form of high technology, as shown when he sent one of his robots to collect remnants or look for anything that might be useful in the wreckage of the Dark Matter Thieves' ship. Despite being a hero, he has little compassion for others if it won't benefit him. Even when a meteor is about to strike Z-City, his only concern is the reliability of his new missiles. Because of Drive Knight's warning to Genos, anything about Bofoi remains mysterious.

After Saitama destroys all of his robots, he begins to gain interest in the Caped Baldy and begins to spy on Saitama intensively since he considered the latter to be a potential threat to his ranking in the future.

He is also aware of the corruption inside the administration of the Hero Association but isn't at all above using their pettiness to his own gain.

Abilities and Powers
Being a S-Class hero, it can be assumed that Bofoi is very powerful, though he got to that position due to his brain power and the strength of his weapons as opposed to his own strength. The Hero Association fears that if he were to betray them he would be a great threat.

Fighting Style
Mech Pilot: Bofoi is said to have a reputation of using powerful weaponry to pulverize his opponents and everything else in the vicinity. He uses for his missions and experiments various remotely controlled robots equipped for the occasion. He also appears to have great skill in piloting his favored battle robot. With this form of combat, Bofoi has the advantage of not putting his own life at stake, as he controls his robots from a safe distance.

Miscellaneous Abilities
Genius Intellect: Bofoi possesses a genius-level intellect, which enables him to create highly advanced machines and weapons.
 * Master Scientist and Inventor: He created various defense systems for the Hero Association, such as a nearly indestructible shelter and various powerful weaponry.
 * Master Architect: He was also able to rebuild the Hero Association's HQ in A-City in a few days, proving great architectural knowledge.

Equipment
Robots (ロボット, Robotto): Given his preferred form of combat, Bofoi has a vast amount of remotely controlled robots with inbuilt weapons, which he also uses for experimentation, scouting and rebuilding.


 * Battle Robot (Unofficial Name by HA) (戦闘ロボット, Sentō Robotto) Bofoi's favored remotely controlled robot, which he uses in combat. It is a large silver-colored robot with multiple cannons attached to its back. It has a distinct set of three circular marks on its "face." Bofoi is capable of communicating through this robot. It is first shown, when Bofoi was testing its weapons against a colossal meteorite.
 * Flight: Bofoi's battle robot is shown to be capable of flight. This is due to the multiple jet propellers incorporated in its design.
 * Missiles: Bofoi's battle robot is shown to be able to fire off massive volleys of large, powerful missiles. They are noted to possess great destructive power by Genos.
 * Suction Pads: The battle robot possesses multiple suction pads inside its body, which it can extend out in order to cling on something. Bofoi first used them on Elder Centipede, when the latter retreated with its comrades.


 * Bofoyrobot.png Reconnaissance Robot (Unofficial Name by HA) (偵察用ロボット, Teisatsu-yō Robotto): A smaller, roughly human-sized robot with no visible weaponry or armor. Like the favored battle robot of Bofoi, it has a distinct set of three circular marks on its "face". Bofoi, like with his other robots, is capable of communicating through this robot. It was first shown after the battle against the Dark Matter Thieves, coming out from a pod.


 * Construction Robot (Unofficial Name by HA) (エ事用ロボット, E koto-yō Robotto): A colossal four-legged robot with a vast amount of drones stored inside. Bofoi, like with his other robots, is capable of communicating through this robot. It was used by Bofoi to rebuild the Hero Association's HQ after the battle against the Dark Matter Thieves.


 * Small Recovery Robots (回収用小型ロボット, Kaishū-yō Kogata Robotto): The construction robot has multiple small recovery robots in it, which it can send out to recover materials. The recovery robots are ball-shaped and have propellers, which enables them to fly. The are also able to extend arms to collect debris.
