Guys this was on Reddit and I find it to be highly convincing that Blast is actually Amai Mask:

I can't put my finger on exactly why I believe it so strongly, but I think Amai Mask is Blast's alter ego.

He's incredibly powerful(instagibs Boros's minions) and commands great influence with the Hero Association beyond his A rank or even an S-Class rank, yet in contrast to almost every other hero besides Saitama he doesn't bother to seek out monsters to beat to garner fame, glory, and a higher hero ranking. Instead he's camping the A-Class 1st position because he's unsatisfied with the current crop of S-Class heroes. He also dislikes or perhaps refuses to be on-call as a hero preferring his other activities such as acting, singing, etc. Similar to Blast's conditions to operate as a Hero?

I think Amai Mask's zero-tolerance towards evil attitude is what drove him to be the top S-Class hero Blast(eccentric privacy policy intact), but became jaded or bitter about what he would see as the lack of quality heroes in the association. So he decided to take a more direct hand in things, step out of the shadows a bit, and reinvented his public identity as Amai Mask and now sits in A-Class Rank 1 to guarantee new hero prospects meet his values/criteria, while spending his time in other pursuits because he's already way beyond top dog(as far as he's aware).

This idea has been bugging me for almost 2 weeks now. If i'm wrong then his character is just some weird flaky pretty boy, i guess. Thoughts?

Edit: I forgot one more thing, in the opening credits it shows a slide of Genos, Mumen Rider, and Sonic, followed by this https://imgur.com/G2ka0MS shot of all the other S-Class heroes... except it has no trace of Blast yet has Amai Mask spaciously featured. (no other A-Class heroes either)
