Tenya Iida

Tenya is a young man of average height with a muscular build. He has dark blue hair and wears rectangular, half-framed glasses. His eyes are also somewhat rectangular, as is his jaw. Tenya's hero costume consists of a black, high-collared, one-piece suit, over which he wears various pieces of armor, including a helmet that covers his entire head, a metal collar around his neck, a chest plate, decorative mufflers extending back from his diaphragm area, and metal bracers that extend to his elbows. The suit includes special knee-length metal boots that specialize in his Quirk.

He may appear stern, but he is actually a very honest, determined, diligent, intelligent, and serious person. He tends to take everything very seriously. Because of this, he has a habit of jumping to conclusions and then enthusiastically speaking or acting based on those conclusions. For example, after his assumption that Izuku had figured out the true nature of the entrance exams, Tenya acknowledged him as a worthy partner and has respected him greatly ever since.

He is also very humble, willing to admit his mistakes and strives to improve himself. This became clear after Tenya admitted that seeking revenge on Stain was not the act of a true hero, and decided to leave his left arm unhealed as a reminder of his mistake and as motivation to achieve true heroism.

Tenya values ​​honor and fair play, and agreed to use the aids Mei provided them during the Sports Festival match so they could fight equally. He dislikes being manipulated, and was outraged that Mei used him to advertise her gadgets during the match. Tenya admires his older brother, Tensei (also known as Turbo Hero Ingenium), and aspires to be like him. His bond with his brother is so strong that after Tensei was badly injured by Stain, Tenya sought to avenge his brother by disposing of him himself.

During training, Iida tends to overact, trying to fully get into character, no matter if he is a hero or a villain. For example, during the Joint Training Arc of 1-A and 1-B, he seriously shouted curses at his "villain" opponents from 1-B and threw out typical hero phrases. And during the first training of 1-A, he parodied villain poses and phrases, which greatly amused Uraraka Ochako.
