Simon Williams - Wonder Man, also known as Simon Williams, is a Marvel Comics character known for his volatile and often self-centered personality, though he also possesses moments of genuine heroism and loyalty. He's prone to anger, impulsiveness, and a strong ego, often acting without thinking about the consequences. Despite his flaws, Wonder Man can be charming and charismatic, making him a natural leader and a popular figure in some circles. Underneath his flaws, he can be fiercely loyal to his friends and those he cares about, willing to put himself in danger to protect them. Takeshi Hongon - Takeshi Hongo is a cordial man with a strong sense of heroism. As both Tachibana and Taki note, Hongo can also be somewhat peculiar and innocently childish at times, hence his great enthusiasm for bike racing and biochemistry. Despite his immense intelligence, he prefers to act casual in general, hanging out and cracking jokes with friends regularly. When converted into a cyborg, Hongo initially felt greatly desolate, horrified at the idea of being a "monster". From his friends' support though, Hongo gradually overcame his despair, becoming noticeably more cheerful. Since then, Hongo matured significantly, even becoming a mentor for the Rider Squad. As the first Kamen Rider, Hongo readily looks out for his successors, leading them in their shared crusade for justice. Aware of the hardships that can follow as a hero, Hongo will assist them when needed, in hopes that they reach their full potential. Furthermore, he will show mercy to foes if possible, to the point of outright saving them[5]. The manga version of Hongo by Shotaro Ishinomori is more stoic in attitude, having been raised by a wealthy household. To an even greater extent than the TV version, he is also troubled as a cyborg, acting somber for the most part. In spite of this, Hongo remains dedicated in his crusade against Shocker, vowing to stop their nefarious ways. Even after his body was fatally wounded, he chose to continue supporting Hayato via mind link, usually tempering the latter's impulsiveness. After restored into a new cyborg body, Hongo triumphantly returned as Kamen Rider 1, assisting Ichimonji and Taki against Big Machine's forces. Since the Heisei era, Hongo is portrayed as a hot-blooded individual; a sharp contrast to his initial calm and mellow demeanor. He will often speak in a rather dramatic manner, normally in the form of heroic speeches. In Kamen Rider Gaim though, Hongo is portrayed as a callous individual. Deriding emotional attachments as detrimental, Hongo suddenly denies the Heisei Riders as worthy heroes, believing them to be a danger if left unchecked. Upon witnessing Gaim sacrificing himself for a single flower, Hongo retracts his previous statement, admitting defeat in their battle and accepting the Heisei Riders as true Kamen Riders. In Kamen Rider Ghost, Hongo has an enigmatic attitude. Feeling guilty for neglecting Mayu, Hongo promised her to stop fighting as a Kamen Rider, refusing to help Ghost and Specter, despite the countless lives at stake. However, upon learning of Mayu's connection to the Alexander Eyecon, Hongo musters his remaining strength to protect her, losing his life in the process. Upon his miraculous revival, Hongo's fighting spirit is fully reignited, allowing him to defeat Nova Shocker.
