He is ranked in popularity via the Hero Billboard Charts, with higher ranking heroes receiving public appeal. Hawks serves as the No. 2 Hero, a position that places him among the most celebrated figures in Japan's hero society.

Lore & Background

Hawks is a Pro Hero who operates out of a Hero Agency, which serves as his base of operations and a means for him to run a business. As a top-ranked hero, he has achieved celebrity status and is listed on the Hero Billboard Charts. During the war between heroes and the Paranormal Liberation Front, Hawks had spied on the PLF. When Twice refuses to surrender, Hawks reluctantly kills him, even as Dabi arrives to help his companion. This act, along with Dabi's later revelation of his identity as Toya Todoroki, destroyed public trust in Heroes by broadcasting Endeavor's abusive past and Twice's death.
