Drive Knight (駆動騎士, Kudō Kishi) is an S-Class hero ranked 9th in the Hero Association. This male hero possesses black hair and wears distinctive armor resembling a dark knight, complete with a white mask featuring a single glowing red eye and three small vertical holes in place of a mouth. He exhibits a calm personality with intense tactical focus, meticulously gathering intelligence during combat and never underestimating opponents. Drive Knight expresses deep suspicion toward Metal Knight (Bofoi), explicitly warning Genos against trusting him. His methods are ruthless: he employs torture to extract information and ensures no enemies who witness his abilities survive, aiming to prevent them from exploiting his weaknesses. His primary equipment is the "Drive Knight's Box," a shape-shifting device that merges with his body to enable versatile combat forms through "Tactical Transformation." Key transformations include: - **Centaur Form**: Merging the box with his lower body to create a mechanical horse, significantly enhancing speed and leg strength. - **Silver Form**: Merging the box with his right arm to form an electric sword capable of easily decapitating multiple Tiger-level monsters. Drive Knight demonstrates immense physical strength, such as effortlessly tearing off the head of a Tiger-level threat. He also exhibits exceptional speed outside Centaur Form, eliminating enemies before they can react. He possesses the ability to perceive and assess the threat levels of Mysterious Beings. During the Alien Conquerors Arc, Drive Knight first appears at an S-Class meeting. After the Dark Matter Thieves' attack, he observes Tatsumaki assaulting the alien ship alongside Genos and Child Emperor, later cautioning Genos about Metal Knight. In the Super Fight Arc, he confronts multiple monsters, interrogating one for information about an invasion.
