A.N. — Happy birthday a day early to Snipe, a hero who is steampunk Western personified. Honestly, he has so much potential, but he has little concrete canon background to go off of. How did a gun-centric hero get so popular in a gun-averse nation like Japan?

310. Snipe

Snipe was a straight shooter, both with his drawling speech and Homing quirk. It was one of the reasons why he, out of all the pros on staff at UA, was chosen to mentor the hero students in the year before they were set to graduate. It was also down to his hard-as-nails worldview. Guns were an uncompromising weapon choice, and Snipe's method of tutelage was much the same. Newly-minted heroes had to be ready to face anything the job threw at them. In Snipe's classes, the syllabus didn't shy away from the grim realties of heroism.
