Gentle-Man

Origins

Kouichi wanted to become a pro-hero like All Might but due to an incident where he saved a young child (who would later turn out to be Pop Step), Kouichi was unable to get into a hero course and instead was recruited by Knuckleduster into becoming a vigilante; prior to meeting, Kouichi went by Gentle-man (the Gentleman Hero) and used his powers to help others; i.e. clean up trash, help people with regular chores and problems.

Powers & Abilities

Kouichi possesses skills in martial arts related to practical/safe falling, the basics of hand to hand combat taught to him by Knuckleduster as well as his quirk (Slide and Glide) which allows for propulsion on any surface. After repeated beating as a child he placed mental blocks on his quirk, he needed three points of contact, i.e. two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand. His power allows him to move with super human speed across the ground, hence one of his super names being The Crawler, he can move forward and backward at the same speed and received tips on improving his technique from the original Ingenium. His powers even allow him to move across walls; he was shown standing between two buildings and making surface contact and was able to glide up the two, this may indicate a certain need for pressure and not adhesion but still allows him to climb surfaces with relative ease. Koichi has shown a limited levitation capability, though it's more like mid-air acceleration, his own mother confessed to him being able to do it with ease as a baby but she tried to stop him, so he rarely used it.

Koich's Slide and Glide Quirk shoots a repulsion force out of his hands and feet, although he mostly use it to glide across the ground. After further training and removing mental blocks he can condense the energy around his body into a force, that is concentrated on the palms of his hands, allowing Koichi to shoot a repulsion beam.

To use this technique, Koichi must lock his feet in place first or else the recoil knocks him off balance. Then he then proceeds to build up power in his hand and releases it all at once. He is able to fire consecutive light repulsion beams and concentrate his shots to fire a more powerful charged repulsion beam.
