Tatsumaki is a character from One Punch Man, a webcomic series created by ONE. Her superhero name is Tornado of Terror.
Background[]
Not much is known about Tatsumaki’s history. She and her younger sister Fubuki were both born with psychic abilities, but Tatsumaki was the stronger of the two. Unknown to Tatsumaki, her young mastery over her psychic abilities cause the neighborhood kids to be terrified of her, which indirectly led to Fubuki being isolated. At the age of 7, however, Tatsumaki was taken away from her adopted family (though her parents were given money for complying) by scientists who wanted to study her psychic powers. Fubuki wasn’t taken since her powers didn’t develop at the time. Tatsumaki was constantly tested on because of her extraordinary abilities, but she was also given toys and candy whenever she cooperated. However, it wasn’t a fun life. Whenever Tatsumaki wasn’t using her powers, she was kept locked up in a cell and was denied permission to go outside by the scientists. 18 years before the start of the series when Tatsumaki was 10, a monster outbreak occurred while she was still locked up in a cell, leaving her alone to fend off the monster. Lucky for her, the hero Blast came to her rescue and defeated the monster. Afterward, Blast told Tatsumaki not to rely on others to rescue her.
Inspired by Blast and gaining newfound respect for him, Tatsumaki entered the Hero Association to become a hero just like Blast. Thanks to her powerful psychic abilities, Tatsumaki climbed up the ranks of the Hero Association. She’s currently positioned 2nd rank at the S-class level of heroes. However, Tatsumaki took Blast’s words too far as she distanced herself from the other heroes with the exceptions of Blast and her sister Fubuki, who had also joined the Hero Association. Additionally, her pride, temper, and arrogance often lead her to lash out at and pick fights with others, causing many heroes (including Fubuki) to dislike her despite acknowledging her immense power. Nevertheless, Tatsumaki still aims to continue her duties as a hero and won’t hesitate to show her opponents why she’s nicknamed the “Tornado of Terror”.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Telekinesis: Tatsumaki's main superpower is her psychokinetic ability to control objects with her mind. She is considered the most powerful esper in the series, with the strength to lift hundreds of boulders into the air, stop a bombardment from an alien spaceship, and even pull meteors down from space to crush her foes.
- Barrier Creation: Tatsumaki can use her telekinesis to create psychic barriers as defense. These barriers are incredibly tough, letting her block attacks from several Dragon-level threats at once.
- Flight: By using telekinesis on herself, Tatsumaki can defy gravity and fly at high speeds.
- Gravitational Wave: This is a psychokinesis ability that allows espers to focus their psychic energy on one point to increase the gravity around an opponent and crush their body. This ability was used against Tatsumaki with the gravity around her having been increased by 300x, but she was unaffected by the attack. Tatsumaki uses a variant of this technique in which she surrounds an opponent with her psychic powers and compresses them until they disappear from existence.
- Chi Manipulation: By using telekinesis to control a person's life energy, Tatsumaki can immobilize them or cause them great discomfort. However, this isn't very effective on strong-willed people, or people who have broken their natural limiter.
- Psychic Whirlwind: By swirling psychic energy in a circle around her, Tatsumaki can easily reflect telekinetic attacks back at the user.
- Psychic Binding: Uses her own psychic powers to suppress the power of another esper.
