Boros
The alien captain who sought a worthy opponent.
Boros is the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, an alien band that travels from planet to planet seeking strong opponents. He arrives on Earth after hearing rumors of Saitama's power. In the Dark Matter Thieves story arc, he is unfazed by the telekinesis of a powerful esper, further displaying his resistance. This arc was also one of the only times Saitama has used his "serious punch", defeating the world-conquering leader of the aliens, Lord Boros.

Reader's Guide
Boros holds no rank within the Hero Association, serving instead as the supreme commander of the Dark Matter Thieves. His combat philosophy centers on absolute dominance through gravity manipulation and overwhelming firepower. Unlike typical villains seeking conquest, his motivation is personal: he craves a battle that ends in his own demise at the hands of a superior being. His fighting style utilizes advanced alien technology integrated with martial prowess.
He can alter gravitational fields to crush opponents or propel himself at light speed. During his confrontation on Earth, he demonstrated multiple power levels, culminating in a final form that threatened planetary destruction. This progression highlights his adaptability and sheer willpower when facing the unknown. Key relationships define his legacy.
He acknowledges Zombieman as a worthy warrior among heroes but ultimately focuses solely on Saitama. The bald hero becomes both his nemesis and his salvation. Boros's final moments involve accepting defeat with dignity, proving that even an invader can find meaning in a fair fight. His death marks the end of the alien invasion arc.
