Heroes/Neo Heroes

The Neo Heroes (ネオヒーローズ, Neohīrōzu) are a new body of heroes founded by Fuzzy and helped formed by Blue to replace the prevailing Hero Association. Blue created the Neo Heroes to show the world what true heroes are, as he deems the Hero Association corrupt and self-serving. However, the Neo Heroes turns out to be not as good as they are shown themselves to be and they are arguably far worse than the Hero Association due to their shady activities, especially their desire to turn unexpected and unwilling people into puppet cyborgs.

Overview
Unlike the Hero Association, who selects heroes through a physical and written test, the Neo Heroes recruits members through a special headhunting system. There are more than 2000 candidates in the Neo Heroes, which exceeds the 546 pro heroes of the Hero Association. Due to the counterproductive and anti-meritocratic nature of the ranking system of the Hero Association, Neo Heroes eschews the ranking system and attempts to create a culture where strong and weak heroes can work together and support each other. Furthermore, the organization seems to know the shortcomings of the current Hero Association in terms of corruption, unfair treatment of its heroes, and collateral damage often caused by powerful heroes, such as Tatsumaki. They keep this criticism in mind and attempt to minimize these shortcomings in their own organization, and their willingness to change caused Child Emperor to defect from the Hero Association and join the Neo Heroes.

The Neo Heroes have recruited a handful of S-Class heroes to join their organization, including Metal Bat, Child Emperor, and Superalloy Darkshine. According to the Neo Heroes' recruiter, they promise to treat heroes much fairly than the current Hero Association. The Neo Heroes offer multiple benefits that entice many heroes to join their organization, such as clothing, increased income, room and board, and an abundance of hero equipment even for new or lower-ranking heroes. Their willingness to meet the needs of the heroes caused the former S-Class hero Metal Bat to join them. Unlike the Hero Association, the Neo Heroes are more focused on the safety of the heroes, and they do not force any of their heroes to complete quotas. They do, however, require their heroes to have "normative awareness," yet took no issue with Raiden attacking Superalloy Darkshine despite the latter's clear discomfort with engaging in combat. They also took no issue with two top-position candidates attacking other heroes to prove a point, showing that the bullying culture between strong and weak heroes still remains to an extent.

Their headhunting system was once as biased as the conventional test in the Hero Association since they mostly focused on recruiting S-Class heroes, which indicates why they didn't try to recruit Saitama. However, this attitude has recently changed, as multiple lower-ranked heroes have been invited to join the association, such as the A-Class heroes Forte, Butterfly DX, and Chain'n'toad, as well as the group containing two C-Class heroes, Soda Pop Boys. The headhunting system also has a dark side and they recruit highly controversial members like serial killer A and cult leader like Infelsinave based on the merit of combat prowess and large followers rather than the desire for justice. This fact makes Speed O Sound Sonic states the Neo Heroes are even more "trash" than the Hero Association.

Recently, Child Emperor and Metal Bat just discover some sinister sides of the Neo Heroes that not even Blue is aware of. It shows that the Neo Heroes possesses a cybernetic program dubbed as a recovery and performance-enhancing programs for heavily injured Neo Heroes members to heal them and enhance their performance through cybernetic enhancements but the cyborgs are often constantly dependent from the maintenance of the organization. During the encounter between A and Sonic, A reveals that the Neo Heroes are actively seeks and turns powerful individuals into cyborg puppets even outside the organization as A is tasked with capturing Sonic to turn him into cyborgs. Child Emperor also suspects that a lot of Dragon-level monsters are actually controlled by the Neo Heroes as he discovered some microchips within the brain of some dead monsters.

During the meeting between Blue and Forte, Forte reveals that the Neo Heroes operation methods actually hampering the growth of the individual heroes by making them depending far too much on the battle suit and the fact that the extreme emphasis on efficiency, leaving little to no room for advancement in strength of an individual since an individual hero never has to put on life or death situation to radically improving themselves. Furthermore, since almost no Neo Heroes members actually constantly put their life on the line as much as heroes from Hero Association, they often lack charisma as an individual as the public only refer to the organization as a whole. This fact shows that the Neo Heroes are actually not heroes and more like mere nameless and unremarkable soldiers and mercenaries who act like highly efficient replaceable machines in doing hero jobs rather than real heroes, causing some members in the heroes like Forte, Butterfly DX and Chain 'o Toad to refuse to join the Neo Heroes, as they are inspired by Saitama to grow as an individual.

Structure
In order to combat monsters more effectively with fewer risks, as well as promote a culture of fairness between heroes, most Neo Heroes work together in teams, unlike the Hero Association's focus on individual heroism and lack of teamwork. Each team has a designated Neo Leader who helps their teammates grow in strength together and get the job done. For this reason, some Neo Leaders were tactically recruited for their leadership as opposed to their battle prowess, as seen with Infelsinave, who founded the 900,000-member Church of Otherworldly Reincarnation; Ryumon, who leads the 400-gangster Ryumon Gang; and Accel, who heads the 50-man Neo Hunters.

The Neo Heroes have developed an advanced A.I. system that analyzes the situation and picks the most suitable talents to deal with the threat. This normally consists of teams of three or more. Furthermore, they also have several armored transport vehicles and light aircraft available at each city to transport the heroes, or if need be they can deploy their small security detail, consisting of Erimin and Destro.

To prevent collateral damages caused by powerful individuals such as Tatsumaki, as well as avoiding the public negligence problem of the Hero Association, the Neo Heroes have established several powerful security operatives to keep certain heroes from crossing the line.

Each member of the Neo Heroes has a specialized battle suit, which allows even the weakest members to fight effectively against monsters of disaster level Tiger, as seen when the Triple Tongues were defeated and their attacks were unable to hurt the Neo Heroes. However, even these battlesuits do not help weaker members against Demon-level threats or higher, since Infelsinave was defeated and gravely injured by a demon-level monster.

Neo Heroes Introduction Arc
Genos details to Saitama the existence of the Neo Heroes, appearing to show interest in seeing if he can grow stronger from joining their ranks and even having received an invitation already. However, when Saitama shows a lack of interest, Genos decides not to join them either.

Superalloy Darkshine, Child Emperor, and Metal Bat all quit the Hero Association and join the Neo Heroes. Darkshine joins not as a Hero, but as a trainer and sparring partner instead.

During a battle, Child Emperor recently discovers that some powerful Dragon-level monsters have microchips in their brains, which he suspects that the monster rampages are somewhat being manipulated. Furthermore, Webigaza constant dependant on maintenance from the Neo-Heroes starts to make him suspect some sinisters about the Neo-Heroes. After Infelsinave and Zaedats are turned into cyborgs, Metal Bat inquires Destro and Elimi about the cybernetic programs and he suspects foul play from the Neo Heroes. His suspicion is proven true when Destro and Elimi try to forcefully turn him into cyborgs and call Infelsinave and Destro to attack and kill Metal Bat.

As Webigaza got a call from Neo Heroes tracking team about a current pursue on a monsterized Sweet Mask’s whereabout, then depart for her scheduled commercial, Child Emperor is finally alone to figure out about the microchip he got without the Neo Heroes’ knowing. 'A' attempt to ambush and kidnap Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, but failed, causing 'A' retreat and leave his own men behind. Raiden attempt to take Puri-Puri Prisoner’s rehabilitating inmate group, including a reformed Hammerhead away from him, in order to turn them into puppet cyborgs as well, but Puri-Puri Prisoner refuse and challenge Raiden in a sumo fight.
