Character from My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi
The Hero Killer whose ideology cut deeper than his blade — a fanatic who believed heroism had become a profession when it should be a calling.
Chizome Akaguro was once an idealistic hero student who became disillusioned when he saw how commercialized heroism had become — heroes motivated by fame, money, and rankings rather than genuine desire to save people. He became Stain, the Hero Killer, systematically targeting and paralyzing or killing heroes he deemed unworthy. His Bloodcurdle quirk paralyzes anyone whose blood he ingests, and his combat skills are terrifyingly effective even without it. He considers only All Might and Deku to be true heroes. His capture in Hosu didn't end his influence — it amplified it. His ideology inspired a generation of villain recruits, including members who joined the League of Villains specifically because of him. Stain proved that ideas are more dangerous than any quirk.
Lean, scarred man wrapped in dark bandages with a tattered red scarf. Noseless face — cut it off himself. Wild dark hair, bloodshot eyes with an intense, predatory stare. Carries multiple bladed weapons — katanas, knives, throwing blades. Moves like a cornered animal, low and fast.
