Kanade Uryu, alias Metropoliman, masquerades as a justice-driven teenage superhero while concealing a ruthless ambition to ascend as a deity. The 16-year-old scion of affluence weaponizes his angel-bestowed powers—wings enabling flight, mind-controlling red arrows, and lethal white projectiles—to systematically eliminate rivals in a divine contest. His privileged upbringing cemented a worldview conflating wealth and aesthetics with moral superiority, fueling contempt for those he labels "ugly" or impoverished. This ideology crystallized after his younger sister Rea’s fatal plunge during a clash over her romantic choices, an event that drove him to cryogenically preserve her corpse and obsessively pursue her resurrection through godhood.

Under the borrowed identity of a televised hero, he orchestrates assassinations via manipulated proxies, avoiding direct combat unless assured dominance. He targets individuals like Hajime Sokotani, whom he demeans as subhuman, exploiting their vulnerabilities to advance his genocidal blueprint for a "purified" society—a world culled of the underprivileged, reserved solely for elites. Though he frames this vision as egalitarian utopia, it mirrors his sister’s frozen, unchanging beauty: a delusion of perfection rejecting human frailty.

His alliance with the angel Meyza thrives on mutual pragmatism, devoid of loyalty. When finally confronted by Nanato Mukaido, his cowardice surfaces; pleading for mercy fails, culminating in his execution. The dichotomy between his self-aggrandizing heroism and pathological narcissism underscores a psyche severed from empathy, where trauma and entitlement fuse into apocalyptic violence.
