The 10 Strongest Characters in One Punch Man
Flashy Flash
Flashy Flash, a highly skilled ninja celebrated for his exceptional speed, has earned a reputation as one of the top S-Class heroes. Despite facing adversaries with superior speed, he remains a formidable force, often underestimated by others. Notably, he achieved the remarkable feat of defeating two Dragon-level monsters, a first for an S-Class hero. Rumors suggest that he deliberately prolonged the battle to vanquish both foes simultaneously, showcasing his strategic prowess.
While many of Flashy Flash’s exploits are shrouded in secrecy, there is speculation that he possesses even greater strength than officially recognized. During a training period, he intentionally downplayed his abilities and slacked off to invite more challenging punishments, underscoring his dedication to honing his skills. His proficiency and speed are such that he can conclude a confrontation before anyone realizes he has emerged victorious, emphasizing the extent of his martial prowess.
Metal Knight
Dr. Bofoi, also known as “Metal Knight,” is a enigmatic scientist who commands a formidable robot and operates as a hero, albeit with a questionable approach. Rather than prioritizing the rescue of individuals, Metal Knight is primarily focused on weapon testing and studying adversaries, often manipulating conflicts for his own gain. His indifference to collateral damage is evident, as he has been willing to endanger hostages and destroy enemy bases. Metal Knight’s strength lies in his powerful robot, capable of obliterating opponents with overwhelming force. With considerable financial resources, he possesses access to advanced technology and has demonstrated the ability to rapidly rebuild entire cities using his skilled robots.
Silver Fang
Bang, also known as Silver Fang, is a highly skilled martial artist and the first S-Class Hero to witness Saitama’s incredible abilities. Unlike some other heroes who rely on psychic powers or advanced technology, Silver Fang’s prowess is derived solely from his expertise in martial arts. Despite this, he exhibits remarkable strength and possesses formidable raw power.
Silver Fang’s age doesn’t seem to be a hindrance to his abilities. Despite expressing concerns about being too old for heroics, he has demonstrated an impressive ability to withstand powerful attacks. In one instance, he emerged unscathed from an assault that resulted in another character losing an arm, with only his clothing suffering damage. Silver Fang’s agility remains a dominant factor in his battles, allowing him to triumph over opponents with superior strength or speed. Despite any complaints about his age, Silver Fang continues to showcase his exceptional martial arts skills and remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of heroes.
Elder Centipede
Centichoro, also known as Elder Centipede, stands as a colossal Dragon-level centipede monster, renowned as the most formidable among its kind. Only a select few heroes, such as Tatsumaki or Blast, are believed to possess the capability to defeat it. Blast, in particular, came close to vanquishing Elder Centipede in a previous encounter, fostering a deep animosity within the monstrous centipede towards the enigmatic hero.
Elder Centipede’s formidable nature is evident not only in its immense size but also in its resilience and the ability to learn from past confrontations. Surviving a clash with Blast, it has not only endured but has also grown stronger over time. The creature’s strategic prowess is highlighted by its inclination to protect its face, a vulnerable point, showcasing a level of intelligence beyond mere regenerative abilities. There are indications that the prior encounter with Blast served as a valuable lesson for Elder Centipede, contributing to its continued evolution. In essence, Elder Centipede emerges as a living catastrophe, possessing both overwhelming power and a cunning intellect.
Psykorochi
Psykorochi emerges as a formidable entity resulting from the fusion of “Monster King” Orochi, leader of the Monster Association, and Psykos, an esper. Despite constant internal struggles for dominance between the two entities, Psykorochi proves to be a powerful force with the ambition to absorb additional entities into itself, including a failed attempt to assimilate Saitama. The ultimate goal of Psykorochi is to absorb all life on Earth, envisioning itself as a planetary entity.
Possessing a vast array of abilities, Psykorochi can generate a tsunami, transform into a fighter jet, and stands several stories tall due to the fusion with Psykos. The entity also exhibits potent psychic powers, further enhanced by the fusion process. Notably, Psykorochi becomes one of the initial beings capable of overpowering Tatsumaki, although it is noted that Psykorochi struggles with full mastery over its newfound raw power.

Tatsumaki
Tatsumaki, also known as the “Tornado of Terror,” is a formidable Esper endowed with extraordinary psychic abilities. Unlike many heroes who strive to enhance their strength through hard work, Tatsumaki was inherently born with immense power. She consistently demonstrates superiority over other S-Class heroes and is strongly suggested to surpass their combined strength. Her remarkable mental prowess allows her to endure formidable attacks.
Referred to as the Tornado of Terror, Tatsumaki showcases her telekinetic abilities by lifting the Monster Association headquarters, distorting an entire city, and creating protective bubbles to shield all heroes. In the anime, she even calms down a meteor, highlighting her exceptional capabilities. Recognizing her as a trump card, the Hero Association relies on Tatsumaki to confront major threats. What sets her apart as a true menace is not only her overwhelming power but also her adeptness in utilizing it strategically.
Garou
Garou, once a pupil of Silver Fang, has transformed into a relentless hunter of heroes with a desire to evolve into the ultimate monster, compelling the world to unite against him. Despite his human origin, Garou seeks strength through defeat, using each loss to identify and exploit his opponents’ weaknesses, showcasing his formidable intellect.
Not limited to conventional abilities, Garou attains an Awakened form, wielding powers over radiation and nuclear explosions, posing a global threat. In his Cosmic Fear Mode, he amplifies his skill to mimic opponents, even replicating Blast’s gravitational powers. This form grants him the extraordinary capability to manipulate time, placing him among the select few, like Saitama, with this unique ability.
Lord Boros
Lord Boros, a formidable galactic ruler, has grown weary of being the unrivaled power in his own realm. Seeking a new challenge prophesied on Earth, he ventures to the planet in pursuit of this mysterious opponent. Serving as a satirical take on a Dragon Ball character, Boros can be seen as a version of Saitama if the immensely powerful being chose to be a villain instead of a hero.
Despite his destructive capabilities, Boros exhibits politeness and graciousness, often making it easy to overlook the countless worlds he has annihilated. Earth narrowly escapes a similar fate, all because of Boros’ relentless quest to surpass Saitama. Ironically, he ends up causing more damage to his own spaceship than to the Earth’s heroes. Boros also displays remarkable durability, surviving a direct hit from Saitama—a feat few others can claim. It takes several attacks to ultimately defeat him, emphasizing his exceptional strength and resilience even among his own kind. In the end, Boros achieves the long-awaited battle he had yearned for.
Blast
Blast holds the top rank among S-Class Heroes, yet his enigmatic nature and infrequent involvement in crises have fueled speculation that he only intervenes when facing an insurmountable threat. This mysterious aura distinguishes him from Saitama, who, despite being immensely powerful, lacks public recognition.
Rumors surrounding Blast’s abilities, including the control of space and time, may be dismissed as hearsay, but there are compelling reasons to believe in his formidable prowess. His periodic absence is attributed to his ongoing battle against the formidable entity referred to as “God.” Additionally, Blast demonstrates his strength by facing Cosmic Fear Garou, much like Saitama. While some of his reported powers remain unverified, his evident superhuman strength, durability, and control over aspects like gravity and teleportation lend credence to his reputation as a truly exceptional hero.
God
In the One-Punch Man universe, the enigmatic entity known as “God” is a formidable being that has taken various forms, including impersonating individuals familiar to those it encounters and even appearing as a planet. It has played a role in empowering individuals like Psykorochi, Homeless Emperor, and Garou, contributing to their extraordinary abilities.
Interestingly, those who receive power from God often turn into destructive threats, harboring genocidal tendencies. There’s a suggestion that God represents a personification of nature, driven by a desire to eliminate humanity, which it sees as a detrimental force on the planet. This inclination is imparted to its hosts, indicating a lack of sympathy for various forms of life. Ultimately, God’s agenda involves the eradication of all human life, even if it means the destruction of the Earth itself.
