  • Endeavor: Falling Into and Emerging Out of Darkness

    Endeavor. The former #2 now #1 hero of My Hero Academia. And one of, if not the, most controversial character in the entire series. When we first met him, Endeavor was about as far from a positive light as he could get. The dude abused his wife to the point that she nearly went insane…
