The Custom Hero is a non-canon hero character who is the player's customizable character in One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows.
Appearance[]
The custom hero can have multiple appearances depending on what the player decides, from appearance to gender to voice. There are many different faces, hair styles and outfits available, many of which are direct references to other characters in the One-Punch Man universe.
Personality[]
The custom hero is a silent protagonist, and doesn't have much to say outside of battles other than standard "yes" and "no" options. The lack of speech is to resemble how the player going through the game would experience scenarios and give relatability throughout the story. Despite the lack of words, this character is heroic and is willing to help out other heroes.
