Hanta Sero, alias Cellophane, trains as a Class 1-A student at U.A. High School to become a pro hero. His Tape Quirk lets him launch adhesive cellophane strips from elbow-mounted dispensers, ideal for restraining foes, setting traps, or swift mobility through environments. Prolonged use risks skin irritation and discomfort, though rigorous practice has enhanced the tape’s durability, output speed, and volume. Standing 177 cm (5'9") with a lean physique, black hair, and eyes, his elbows house signature cylindrical tape dispensers. His hero costume comprises a black bodysuit accented by yellow and white highlights, shoulder pads mimicking dispensers, and a visored helmet. Eight years post-Final War, his updated attire features sleeker helmet designs, black wrist straps, a taller, more muscular frame, and a trimmed beard. Sociable and easygoing, Sero balances humor with loyalty, often playfully teasing classmates like Katsuki Bakugo. Though occasionally blunt, his camaraderie strengthens class unity. He remains undeterred by challenges, exemplified during his Sports Festival duel against Shoto Todoroki, where he fought earnestly despite slim odds. Academic struggles—ranking 17th in Class 1-A and failing Midnight’s Final Exam—spurred him to seek improvement without losing resolve. Interning with The Lurkers (Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady) after standout performances at U.S.J. and the Sports Festival sharpened his teamwork and tactical instincts. During Joint Training, he dissected Setsuna Tokage’s Quirk weaknesses and partnered with Bakugo for victory, later combining his Tape with Ochaco Uraraka’s Zero Gravity to craft airborne traps. Beyond combat, his Quirk aids rescue missions, stabilizing rubble or binding wounds. The hero name Cellophane mirrors his blend of creativity and pragmatism, inspired by Spider-Man’s web-slinging tactics. Post-graduation, he climbs to No. 36 in the pro hero rankings, marking steady career growth. Born July 28 with blood type B, Sero favors oranges and soy-based dishes. Creator Kohei Horikoshi conceived the Tape Quirk after encountering adhesive materials, cementing it as a personal favorite. Though often a background figure, Sero’s frequent inclusion underscores his role as a supportive yet pivotal class member.
