Denki Kaminari

Denki Kaminari, also known as the Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt, is a student in Class 3-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. Denki is a light-skinned boy with messy golden-blond hair parted to the right with a black lightning-shaped streak on the left of his side fringe, which is angled to partially obscure his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular golden eyes with small eyebrows, and is slimmer than most male students in his class, with little visible muscle mass. At U.A., he wears the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt, dark blue-green dress pants, a red tie, and plain brown shoes. Denki's initial Hero Costume consists of a plain white undershirt, an open black jacket with a white lightning pattern across his back, shoulders, and collar, with matching pants with two lines running down his legs, brown shoes, and a single, square-shaped earphone over his right ear, resembling a radio antenna sticking out of the top. His updated costume consists of a white V-neck shirt and a slightly shorter black jacket with fewer white patterns, only two near the hem and collar, and a yellow-rimmed white lightning bolt around each of his shoulders. He still wears matching black pants and brown shoes, but the pants only have a small white zig-zag near each of their cuffs. He also wears a white belt that holds his pointer ammo. Around his right wrist, he wears a wristband with a circular mechanism from which he can shoot disc-shaped Pointers, which aid him in aiming his Quirk. He also wears a black choker with a silver buckle on the left side and a headset with a blue-tinted visor. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Denki gained a scar on his upper left forehead following his injury from Mr. Compress' attack, although his hair covers it rather well. Denki is a friendly, social, and energetic boy who enjoys hanging out with others. He is rather casual when interacting with other people, including the generally unfriendly Katsuki Bakugo, although he's not above petty complaining or overreacting if he feels annoyed or shocked enough. Denki may come off as blunt and reckless at times but is always well-meaning. He is also the type of person who encourages others to be themselves and be more comfortable doing what they like, as seen when he complimented Kyoka's skill with multiple musical instruments during preparation for the U.A. School Festival. Denki is somewhat flirtatious towards the girls in and out of his class, sometimes accompanying Minoru Mineta on his schemes and trying to pass himself off as a smooth talker. He is not very lucky with his approaches, though, frequently having his advances ignored or outright rejected by those he asks out. Denki is also a bit of a jokester and sometimes teases others with playful comments. Overall, Denki is interested in appearing cool and trendy to impress people but has a shallow understanding of how to do so properly. Because of that, he is easily influenced by what's popular or stylish at the moment, even if it's due to Villain action. Denki isn't very academically bright, requiring massive help with studying due to his general disinterest and neglect of school duties. He does not appear to pay much attention in classes, gets quickly bored from lectures, and suffers anxiety attacks when dealing with tests, at which point he becomes increasingly agitated and aggressive. Frequently showing a lack of tact and smarts in and outside of school, Denki may give off the impression of being stupid or foolish, leading others to throw snide remarks at him, especially Kyoka Jiro, or underestimate his capabilities as a hero. Despite this, Denki can show surprising knowledge about specific areas such as literature, art, and music, possessing an extensive vocabulary that shows up now and then. Denki becomes distraught when put into stressful situations, appearing spineless and incompetent to foes and allies alike. During combat, he is swift to panic and may accidentally activate his Quirk in the face of imminent danger, leaving himself vulnerable. He becomes more reluctant to use his full power when there are allies close to him, being afraid of hurting them through collateral damage from his explosive bolts. Whenever Denki exceeds his wattage limit, he loses his ability to discharge electricity and his entire personality changes into that of a giggling idiot for a certain period of time until he reverts back to normal. In this state, he is always giving two thumbs-ups as a way of letting others know that he is okay. Despite his insecurities, Denki becomes more confident in his abilities when receiving words of encouragement from others. He does not tolerate others looking down on him and his classmates, and will defend them if necessary, as seen with his skirmish against Seiji Shishikura during the Provisional Hero License Exam. At the start of the Gunga Mountain Villa Raid, Denki panicked when he was placed on the front line responsible for capturing the Villains of the Paranormal Liberation Front, but was encouraged by Midnight to focus on helping those who matter most to him. This helps Denki overcome his anxiety, using his Quirk to absorb an electric attack from Amplivolt, and paving a safe way for the other Heroes to continue the raid. During the Final War, Denki helps power the U.A. Flying Fortress along with other students with electric Quirks. As the war reaches its climax, Denki continues to have faith in Izuku Midoriya as he faces Tomura Shigaraki, but can't shake the feeling that his friend still might lose, worrying if that means his faith isn't so resolute after all. However, Denki once again pulls himself together, gathering with all the other Heroes as he aids Izuku during his final battle against Tomura (who was possessed by All For One). While Denki doesn't possess any direct combat abilities, he compensates for this with his moderate handle on the destructive, widespread power of his Quirk. When using Electrification, Denki gains a defense mechanism that shocks anyone who comes into contact with him, leaving them slightly, if not wholly, paralyzed. As a result, Denki can be somewhat difficult to face in battle, especially for those that rely on close-quarters combat. Denki can also discharge large amounts of this electricity allowing it to cover long distance at the cost of not having control of where it goes, striking all everything around him with or without physical contact. This aspect of Electrification makes Denki very effective in battles involving many opponents, but it can also turn him into a burden if there are allies around who can't protect themselves from his bolts. Denki can also use his electrokinetics to turn himself into a makeshift lightning rod to diffuse the electrical attacks of his opponents. Denki incapacitated several villains that had surrounded him, Kyoka, and Momo at the U.S.J Incident and single-handedly short-circuited a giant Villain Bot at the U.A. Sports Festival. He showcased significant improvement during the Provisional Hero License Exam, wherein he teamed up with Katsuki and Eijiro Kirishima to battle Seiji Shishikura, one of the most formidable students of Shiketsu High School. After Seiji overpowered Katsuki and Eijiro, Denki utilized his improved Quirk handling in tandem with his new Sharpshooting Gear to catch the flesh-manipulating student off-guard and successfully subdue him, allowing Katsuki and Eijiro to break free from the effects of Seiji's Meatball Quirk, and ultimately defeat him. During the first round of the Joint Training Battle, Denki demonstrated the mettle to take on Jurota Shishida, one of the strongest students in Class 1-B, but couldn't keep up with the latter's enhanced prowess. During Nine's attack on Nabu Island, Denki teamed with Eijiro and Katsuki to efficaciously take on Mummy 's puppet assault and acted as a lightning rod to counteract Nine's Weather Manipulation Quirk to protect Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of The Lurkers (consisting of Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady), allowing Denki to intern under the trio of powerful heroes and improve on close and efficient team maneuvers. Despite not being one of the more intelligent members of Class 1-A, Denki possesses some strategic and tactical skills. During the Joint Training Battle, he devised a strategy to defeat Ibara Shiozaki, one of Class 1-B 's most formidable students. Having learned from his first battle with her at the U.A. Sports Festival that her vines are immune to electricity, Denki allowed himself to act as a decoy and be the only one captured so that he could produce enough electricity to divide the attention of the opposing team. Denki's plan enabled Hitoshi Shinso to discreetly brainwash Ibara while Tsuyu Asui captured her before subduing Hiryu Rin, which in turn defeated Jurota. Denki's ingenuity, which secured victory for his team, can be rather impressive when the situation calls for it. Denki is highly skilled at playing the electric guitar and can draw detailed portraits. Electrification: Denki's Quirk allows him to store electricity and discharge it allowing him to cover his body in it. While he can also discharge this energy over a distance, he has little to no control over it, meaning it will go everywhere indiscriminately. Exceeding his wattage limit causes his brain to short-circuit, leaving him in a helpless state for 1 hour. Denki is also able to absorb and neutralize electricity and other lightning-based Quirks.
