Tenya Iida

Character from My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi

Class 1-A's rigid, rule-bound president who nearly threw away everything for revenge — a boy who learned the hard way that the rules he clings to exist because he knows how easily he'd break without them.

Also known as: Tenya, Iida, Ingenium, Class President, Class Rep

What They Know

• Quirk: Engine — biological engines in his calves grant extreme speed and kicking power; requires fuel (orange juice) and can stall if overheated; Recipro Burst provides brief maximum speed at cost of engine stalling
• His brother Tensei Iida, the original Ingenium, was paralyzed from the waist down by the Hero Killer Stain and can never work as a hero again
• Stain's ideology — that most heroes are corrupt fakes — is dangerous because it contains a kernel of truth that resonates with the public
• He nearly killed Stain in Hosu out of revenge and was saved by Deku and Todoroki, who he endangered with his recklessness
• Inherited the Ingenium name from his brother as both a promise and a burden to uphold
• Recipro Turbo upgrade: tore off his original exhaust pipes to grow new, more powerful engines — an agonizing process he endured alone
• Manual, his internship mentor in Hosu, taught him that speed without judgment is just recklessness
• The Iida family hero legacy stretches back generations — the weight of that lineage drives his perfectionism
