Apparence

Endeavor is a tall, very muscular man with spiky red hair, and his face is surrounded by flames, largely masking him. His Hero costume is a blue-black jumpsuit covered in flame grooves, and his boots are also on fire, proving the heat resistance of his costume. He wears white protective pieces on his forearms.

After officially becoming Hero No. 1, Endeavor's costume has been upgraded. His armbands have been redesigned to look sharper and more armor-like, and they now completely envelop his arms. On the backs of his hands are grill hand guards that have a set of holes to release a torrent of flames on the backs of his hands if necessary, and his fingers are exposed from the base knuckles. His outfit now has wide stripes running across his torso, with the spaces in between completely engulfed in his flames. Endeavor has also added shoulder pads and a new belt, which appear to be made of the same material as his suspenders. His belt is a stylized kanji for "Flame."

During his battle with Hood, the left side of his face was severely damaged after being hit by a surprise attack. After being operated on and healed by the alter of Recovery Girl, his eye turned out to be minimally damaged, although he now has a large jagged scar running from his hairline to his chin on the left side of his face.

Endeavor

Personality

Shoto Todoroki described his father as a proud and ambitious man driven by his goal of surpassing Hero No. 1, All Might, though it was more complicated than that. In truth, Endeavor was not unaware of the chasm that separated him and All Might.

This obsessive drive has followed Enji all his life, with repeated failures plaguing him since his youth. Dedicating himself to his studies and heroic work, Endeavor strove to become the strongest hero in the land, but All Might proved to be an insurmountable obstacle to overcome, leaving Endeavor in a state of growing despair as he became increasingly aware that closing the gap between himself and the symbol of peace was impossible. As a result, Enji turned into a cold and unfeeling person who cared for nothing but his unattainable dream, something that the young Inasa Yoarashi would notice just by looking into his eyes.

ENDEAVOR

Enji was aware of his own limitations, and still is, but because of his stubbornness, he never thought of giving up on his wish, wanting to fulfill it at all costs and even pass his aspirations on to another person if necessary. In order to balance the drawbacks of his Hell Flame alter, which he always found cumbersome, Enji sought to have a child with an ice user, in order to create someone who could inherit his will. In this way, Enji would not only have his alter inherited, but also his training and experiences, through a "perfect" successor.

Enji would turn out to be a rather cruel and violent father and husband, and his actions would negatively affect everyone in the family he formed. Shoto, his youngest child, was considered his masterpiece, a tool that had all the right elements to surpass All Might's ability and nothing else. As a result, Enji focused all his hopes on Shoto, forcing him to go through incredibly hard training at a young age and showing little interest in his personal desires. The other children were ignored and seen as "failures" who were not allowed to interact with their younger brother. When his wife succumbed to depression and attacked Shoto, Enji sent her to a psychiatric ward only to prevent her from interfering with his child's development.

After the events of the Kamino Incident, which led to All Might's retirement and Endeavor's succession as the number one hero, Enji's character changed course. Enji's interest in the title of strongest hero has always been based on merit and ability, valuing the work he had invested to reach the number one spot on his own. As such, he became very angry at reaching the top by a technicality, feeling that his lifelong efforts were now wasted. For as much as he hated his long-time rival All Might, Enji always respected his power and achievements as No. 1, to the point of not believing that the "real" All Might was a sick and weak man, even though he had the truth right in front of him.

Sensing the rise of crime and unrest in a society that had recently lost their symbol of peace, Enji began to question his role and duty as the new No. 1 hero. After a revealing conversation with All Might about what it means to be Hero No. 1 to the world, Enji began to show regrets about how he treated his family, never thinking about what was best for them instead of himself. He began to learn more about his family, began to visit his ex-wife with frequency and wanted to become a real father figure to his children, even though they still rejected him for the most part, all in an attempt to confront his past self. It has been shown that behind his blindness and determination to become #1, he loves his family and cares for them very deeply. For this reason, he has no ill will towards his family members, accepting all the criticism they throw at him and accepting the fact that his family may never forgive him.

As a pro hero, Endeavor is described as confident, dependable, and imposing, thanks to his excellent track record of solving cases. His rude and aggressive personality is well known to the public, with fans seeing them as a selling point while others are frightened by his overall violent attitude. Endeavor is particularly sensitive to being compared to All Might as he has always painted unfavorably to the former Hero No. 1.

Endeavor, both on and off the job, is known for his bad temper. He has a very basic attitude towards those he meets and is easily angered by more zany personalities. This, however, does not seem to affect his competence as a pro hero in any form. With his education, training, and valuable experience as Hero #2, Endeavor knows how to strategically direct forces in battle, immediately understand the situation he's in, and resolve incidents as quickly as possible with minimal casualties. Endeavor and his agency pride themselves on being experts in all three of the basics of heroism (elimination, rescue, and evacuation), believing that a true hero excels in all of these areas, but he is sometimes feared by his co-workers because of his temper and temperament.

Skills and Competencies

Overall Abilities: Endeavor was ranked as the #2 hero in Japan, before taking the #1 spot after All Might retired. He also has excellent control of his very powerful alter, Hell Flame. Endeavor fights by using his flames to overwhelm his opponents with extreme heat. His attacks include large-scale flamethrowers, precise heat rays, and fire fists and other options. Hell Flame can also be used to prevent Endeavor from falling or to keep the hero in the air by expelling jets of fire through the soles of his feet. He can also shoot flames from his back to propel himself forward. This same ability can be used as a reverse thrust if Endeavor needs to resist an attack. Endeavor uses low-temperature flames on weaker opponents to be used as a warning shot that normally neutralizes Endeavor's targets, or to minimize the pressure on his body. The hero increases the heat every time he tries to finish off the opponent, the high temperature attacks are meant to defeat the enemies permanently, as they increase Enji's body temperature significantly. This is a high-risk tactic that can backfire if he uses too many of these techniques.

As he is ranked very high, Endeavor is an immensely powerful hero, which was proven in his battle against the Super Villain Alliance. Endeavor is able to face and defeat several mid to low-end Nomus without taking damage, for which he is praised by people like All For One, an immensely powerful villain. During the Kamino Incident, Endeavor demonstrated his camaraderie and courage by teaming up with Edgeshot to help a struggling All Might overpower All For One and emerge unscathed. When he battled Hood, a member of the stronger Nomus, Endeavor, with the help of Hawks, was able to damage and maneuver the top-ranked Nomu, overwhelming him in battle, despite having a physical disadvantage, and eventually defeating Hood.

Increased Strength: After years of physical training, Enji has incredible physical strength. But despite this, his strength is not at the level of All Might. The force behind one of his blows was strong enough to break a nomu's arm and send him flying several feet away.


Increased Stamina: Endeavor has incredible stamina as he was able to withstand being thrown into several buildings in his battle against Hood, who used several alters.


Increased Stamina: Endeavor has much more stamina than the average pro hero, as seen when he is able to stand up, despite receiving numerous attacks from Hood when he should have been immobilized.


Iron Will: One of Endeavor's most notable traits is his ability to never give up, worthy of his heroic name. This was demonstrated in two instances: when he continued to bridge the gap between himself and All Might regardless of the differences in their abilities, and when he continued to push past his limitations and injuries in his battle with Hood.
Acute Intelligence: Enji has extraordinary intelligence, having used it to account for the most solved criminal cases in history. He has very sharp deductive skills, shown when he deduced that Izuku had a very powerful alter that goes up to the All Might level after seeing it used briefly. During the Hosu Incident, Endeavor identified the nature of a Nomu's absorption and release alter, and noticed that the creature still retained the damage caused by the low-temperature flame attack Endeavor used, even after the creature redirected it to the flame hero. Facing a Nomu, Endeavor witnessed its ability to regenerate, and was able to quickly decide that the best course of action would be to char Nomu's cells to prevent regeneration. Throughout his battle with Hood, Enji showed more of his intelligence as he analyzed the situation against the High Nomu, while simultaneously fighting him. While fighting the High Nomu, Endeavor was able to correctly calculate 6 alters that were in Hood's repertoire of abilities.

Enji's alter allows him to produce and manipulate large amounts of extremely intense fire at will.

He seems to be immune to other flames, and can easily control the shape and temperature of a fire as well. His level of control allows Endeavor to use his flames in unorthodox ways, such as concentrating the flames and heat at his feet to achieve limited flight. He has shown to shape his flames into long-range melee weapons, such as a gun.ENDEAVOR

History

Enji wanted to be the best hero and devoted most of his life to this. However, All Might was always the most popular hero and finally Enji realized that the gap was too big and started to feel resentful and disrespectful towards the latter. Out of spite and envy for All Might's ranking, Enji bought out Rei's family in order to get his hands on her alter. Forcing her into an Alter Marriage, Enji attempted to conceive and raise a child with a combination of their Quirks that would be strong enough to surpass All Might. After having several more children, Enji finally found her "masterpiece" in her fourth child, Shoto.

When Shoto was five years old, Enji began training him to be a hero. However, the training was hard and horrible. Rei tried to defend Shoto, saying he was too young, but Enji refused to listen and ordered him to stay out of her way. Enji also prevented Shoto from interacting with his older brothers and sister. After his wife threw boiling water on Shoto's face, Enji had him admitted to a mental hospital. After learning this, Shoto was angrily blamed for what happened.

ENDEAVOR



Years later, Endeavor attended a meeting with other heroes and the Police to discuss the reluctant civilians injected by Trigger. The officer explained that the people in question were more victims than villains. Endeavor argued that any public use of an alter is illegal and that they should treat them as villains and let the police investigate the background of future captures. He said this was the only way to protect the innocent without risking their lives by hesitating every time they see a new enemy.

All Might, who was not present, had his answer to the problem delivered by Naomasa Tsukauchi. He said that he would assess the situation at the scene more carefully because as heroes, they should not harm innocent citizens. This was in direct opposition to Endeavor's response, which made him angry. After the meeting ended, Suicide Bomb attacked the police station. Endeavor, still angry about what had happened, decided he would incinerate the villain. However, the villain's alter reportedly had a volatile reaction to Endeavor's alter. The incident was then taken care of by Eraser Head and Midnight.
