Glasses

Glasses (メガネ, Megane) is a B-Class Rank 21 professional hero for the Hero Association.

Appearance
Glasses is an average young man with black hair and a pair of glasses, which gives him his hero name. Before he left the Blizzard Group, he was seen wearing the typical black business suit with a white shirt. As an independent hero he wears a tracksuit as his hero suit.

Personality
Originally wanting to become a hero, Glasses trained hard in order to become one. He, however, began losing self-confidence after becoming part of the Blizzard Group, believing that he and any other average person have limits and cannot keep up with people who have natural born talent.

After he was saved by Saitama and heard his opinion, Glasses realized that the only one that had put limits on him was himself, with his thinking of not being good enough to be a hero.

History
Originally an office worker who had to cut down on food costs to survive, Glasses started the hero career to improve his lifestyle; after he got strong enough, he was able to reach the B-Class and in order to maintain his position, he joined the Blizzard Group.

Monster Association Arc
Glasses is seen with Stinger, Wild Horn, Chain'n'toad, Smile Man and other heroes as a part of the team led by Death Gatling to ambush the injured Garou.

During the battle, he supports the group by resupplying Shooter's arrows, but avoids attacking Garou directly. When Garou tries to target him anyway, Glasses throws rocks in his face as a distraction and follows up with a punch to the face.

He then retreats to a far distance and leaves Garou open to the other heroes. However, Garou grows stronger and overpowers most of the other heroes. Garou targets Glasses a second time, closing the distance and chasing him down (so that Death Gatling cannot open fire), and simultaneously taunting Glasses for his strength. Glasses attempts to throw rocks at Garou again, but Garou catches them all and throws them at Shooter. Stinger briefly intercepts Garou, but is quickly defeated. Glasses is incapacitated shortly thereafter after when Garou knocks him out by elbow strikes him toward a tree, despite valiantly trying to throw a punch at Garou. Fortunately, he manages to send an emergency signal to Genos, who promptly arrives.

A New Wind Blows
He and other twenty members of the Blizzard Group cornered and took down the C-Class criminal, Banero. However, Glasses didn't actively participate in the fight because he was deep in thought and therefore got no credit. When the Blizzard Group faced the Demonic Fan, Glasses witnessed how powerless he was.

Suddenly, Tatsumaki entered the scene and, after pointing out how useless Glasses was, she shattered the monster with one move and took Fubuki away. However, the monster came back together, but luckily Saitama came and destroyed it with a single blow. Finally, Glasses understood that the only one that had put limits on him was himself. He then left the Blizzard Group and continued his hero career with his own strength.

Abilities and Powers
As one of the higher ranked B-Class heroes, it can be assumed that he is fairly strong amongst the other heroes in this class. He was notably the only member of the Blizzard Group to avoid the Demonic Fan's second attack.

During his fight against Garou he is shown to have developed decent speed, reflexes and hand-to-hand combat skills from his independent training when he manages to dodge Garou when he rushes at him. He also shows to quite durable since he manages to take several strikes from Garou with enough strength to stand for a short period of time. However, he is self-aware of his power level is not on par with Saitama’s yet.

He also has range attack, in which he throws several rocks at the opponent.
