Blast, in my opinion, is a completely different character with no relation to Saitama besides their similar suits, their opinions regarding their hero careers and that both of them may be equally strong.

For Blast to be Saitama's father/a time-displaced Saitama/a guy who gets the credit for Saitama's deeds (Regardless of the fact that we already have King filling that role) or that kind of crap would be SO unoriginal and cliché that I would probably drop the series on the spot.

Personally, I'd like it if Blast turned out to be Mob because of how that could be developed (Besides, it HAS been rumored that Blast may possess psychic powers), but in case he is not, I just think he is a guy who broke his limiter and is suffering a personal crisis like Saitama minus the part where he doesn't enjoy his job because of how OP he is. Maybe Blast just feels he cannot relate to humankind anymore and prefers to leave all hero duty to the rest of the association, which would explain why he will only return when a God-level threat appears: That is the only thing in the OPM world that would require somebody as overpowered as him
