Genji

Genji (ゲンジ, Genji), also known by his hero alias Lightning Genji (雷光ゲンジ, Raikō Genji, literally means "Thunder Light Genji"), is an A-Class Rank 17 professional hero from D-City for the Hero Association.

Appearance
He appears as a rather short, youthful man with black hair and clear eyes. A notable part of his appearance is his remarkable outfit. He wears a very protective armor-like suit, with some tubes going in and out, marked with a sign resembling the radioactive logo. He also has a cap, with goggles and a mouth mask resembling that of an aviator's.

History
Lightning Genji joined the Hero Association a year ago and eventually reached A-Class. He is given top secret missions by the Hero Association, due to how fast he rose to A-Class.

Rumored Monster Arc
As the higher-ups of the Hero Association discuss the status on the cities, Lightning Genji was mentioned as a superhero in charge of D-City. His report on the city was that there is still reconstruction due to the incident caused by Marugori.

Monster Raid Arc
Lightning Genji encounters Maiko Plasma and Electric Catfish Man in D-City. He is later defeated by them.

Lost Cat
Lightning Genji, Stinger, Genos, Peach Terry, and Heavy Kong were assigned to secretly take care of Grizzly Nyah. Lightning Genji and Stinger were able to take care of one of the children, but had to ultimately run away from the mother. Lightning Genji stunned the Grizzly Nyah, while Stinger sliced its arm off.

Abilities and Powers
Being an A-Class hero charged with protecting D-City, it can be assumed that Lightning Genji is a rather powerful individual. He managed to climb into the upper ranks of A-Class in only a year and is trusted by the Hero Association to go on secret missions. Together, he and Stinger managed to heavily injure a child Grizzly Nyah, who is a Disaster Level Demon monster. This is more impressive considering it usually takes an a S-Class hero to take on a Demon level threat.

Physical Abilities
Enhanced Speed: Lightning Genji has been shown to be able to move very fast in battle as he was able to dodge a Grizzly Nyah's attack and climb the creature's arm.

Enhanced Strength: Attacking with both stun rods at once, Lightning Genji managed to harm a child Grizzly Nyah and break some of its fangs.

Fighting Style
Dual-wield Stun Rods Style: (スタンバトン二刀流, Sutanbaton Nitōryū) As its name suggests, it is a fighting style involving two stun rods. Lightning Genji was able to effectively use his rods to fight a child Grizzly Nyah. He is also skilled at wielding them like normal sticks in combat, holding his own against two Tiger Level monsters at the same time.
 * Max Voltage: (電圧MAX, Den'atsu MAX) Lightning Genji hits his opponent with his stun rods with maximum voltage output. He can only use this technique a limited number of times. This is first used against a child Grizzly Nyah.

Equipment
