Character from My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi
The #1 Hero who earned the rank but never the love — an abusive father trying to atone for sins that already produced a villain.
Enji Todoroki spent his entire career as the #2 Hero, forever in All Might's shadow. Unable to surpass the Symbol of Peace himself, he orchestrated a quirk marriage — choosing Rei Himura specifically to breed a child with a quirk that combined ice and fire. He abused his family systematically: drove his wife to a breakdown, neglected his older children as failures, and subjected Shoto to brutal training from age five. His eldest son Toya, desperate for his father's attention, pushed his incompatible quirk until it seemingly killed him — only to resurface years later as the villain Dabi. When All Might retired, Endeavor inherited the #1 spot and the crushing realization that he'd destroyed his family chasing a title that felt hollow once obtained. His current arc is a raw, painful attempt at atonement — becoming the hero he should have been, knowing full well his children may never forgive him. He is simultaneously the strongest active hero and a cautionary tale about obsession.
Massive, broad-shouldered man with piercing turquoise eyes and a crown of living flame across his face and shoulders. Hero costume is dark blue with flame-resistant plating and an open chest design that channels his fire. Without flames active, his hair is short and crimson. Deep facial lines and a jaw set in permanent intensity. Burn scars across his torso from decades of pushing his quirk.
