Death Gatling

Death Gatling (デスガトリング, Desu Gatoringu) is an A-Class Rank 8 professional hero for the Hero Association.

Appearance
Death Gatling is a young man with black unkempt hair and a cross-shaped scar on the left side of his face. He wears a white cloak, a black leather outfit with many belts attached and has a Gatling gun in place of his left arm.

Personality
Death Gatling is very strategic when up against monsters. He is very concerned about how his class of heroes are viewed lower than others S-class heroes no matter how good and great effort they put into their heroic jobs and hates losing face, sometimes leading him to fight opponents that are too powerful to gain recognition from both the public and the Hero Association. In battle, he is shown to kill monsters at fast rate to the point of denying them any chance of retaliation with his rapid fire chain gun.

Despite his scary and hardened face, he is a man of righteousness. During the battle with Garou, he places great emphasis on the existence of the heroes below S-Class and reveals his strong determination and obsession to prove his worth as a hero.

However Garou notes during their battle that Death Gatling's somewhat hypocritical as he denounces the hero ranking of the association but he's more obsessed about it than anyone else.

Monster Raid Arc
Death Gatling is seen working with Butterfly DX and Bone to fight with the Hundred-Eyes Octopus, but all three heroes are easily defeated.

Super Fight Arc
Death Gatling later gathers five other heroes to attack Hundred-Eyes Octopus, but is stopped when Flashy Flash shows up, when he was belittled by him.

After Flashy Flash proceeds to blind the monster by slicing all of its eyes, the monster squirms in pain, destroying even more infrastructure nearby. Death Gatling tells everyone to retreat and saves Red Muffler from one of the monster's falling tentacles. For the rest of the fight he is able to do nothing but watch as Flashy Flash and Tatsumaki argue about the monster.

Monster Association Arc
While in his quest hunting remaining monsters, Death Gatling noticed that Garou trailing him, but situation changed as Garou retreats due to his injury from Saitama's one kick, whom he believe to be King's.

Death Gatling later tracks Garou down to a small hut in a park and leads a team of A and B-Class heroes against Garou. Despite gaining the upper hand due to Garou's injuries initially, Garou turns the table on each of the heroes by using their own weapons and attacks against each of them. Death Gatling is the only ones left standing in which he states that Garou is no longer human to be captured alive so he must be killed as a monster.

As Death Gatling unleashes his Death Shower, Garou quickly utilizes his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to deflect the bullets at him causing the hut behind to be become nearly torn down by the barrage of bullet. As a result, Garou praises Death Gatling and his companions about their effort and cooperation but mocks them heavily in terms of lacking individual strength, stating the situation would have be completely different with an S-Class hero. His critical speech damages Death Gatling's pride to the point where he desperately draws his knife to win against Garou at all cost in order to define the meaningful existence of low class heroes in the eye of the public and the Hero Association. However, Garou punches him directly in the face, knocking him out while at the same time destroying his Gatling gun, showing his disgust over his hypocritical rant.
