Psykos - One Punch Man

Psykos (サイコス, Saikosu, Viz: Psychos) is an esper, the military advisor of the Monster Association, and a friend of Fubuki. She is one of the main antagonists of the Monster Association Arc.

Appearance

Psykos has a curvy figure with long aqua-blue wavy hair, emerald-green eyes and typically wears glasses.

Psykos's meat puppet Gyoro Gyoro appears as an obese slug-like monster with a single eye, with no visible facial orifice and eight arms protruding through it's head. It has four main arms, two stubby legs and three toes on each foot.

During high school, Psykos had braces, which made her mouth puckered. She also wore larger and rounder glasses and had freckles.

Personality

Equally as manipulative as she is cunning, Psykos also often schemes and plots around the other members of the Monster Association geared towards experimental needs. She played Rhino Wrestler for a fool by sending the lower-level monster against opponents he had no hope against during the heroes' invasion for scientific curiosity. Psykos is also quite arrogant, sadistic, and volatile.

She is also very mischievous, as she enjoys playing sadistic games with the Hero Association staff. Being very calculating, she takes into consideration the compatibility of each battle.

Although Psykos is highly intelligent, she has a superiority complex. Her confidence on being a powerful esper along with the fact that she is later even granted additional power by the supposed "God", causes her to belittle Tatsumaki and believe herself able to become the "ultimate lifeform."

Abilities and Powers

As the second-highest-ranking member of the Monster Association, Psykos has great authority over almost everyone and oversees the organization's operations and activities, and as a Dragon-level threat, she is an extremely powerful being. She is shown to be very powerful as an Esper, but not very skilled. Garou has commented that she cannot perform more than one action at the same time when using telekinesis. After merging with Orochi, her psychic power increases exponentially, allowing her to contend with Tatsumaki and seriously harm the esper, although Tatsumaki reveals she was holding back because Tareo's safety wasn't secured.

Supernatural Abilities

Psychokinesis: Psykos is a powerful esper. She can send out psychic signals to her colleagues from over great distances, as well as remotely control Gyoro Gyoro from 1500 meters underground. When her power is amplified by her Elixir, Psykos can break free of Tatsumaki's restraints and drag her down from a large distance even as she is being dragged herself upwards.

Energy Projection: Psykos can shoot powerful energy beams from her eyes.

Gravity Manipulation: While controlling Gyoro Gyoro, Psykos could manipulate gravity and use it to crush her enemies.

Spy Drones: Psykos created and could control several spy drones that are shaped in the image of Gyoro Gyoro and can communicate through them. These spy drones could possess wings to fly a great distance or be planted as stationary viewpoints like security cameras.

Telepathy (テレパシー, Terepashī): Psykos uses telepathy to communicate with others. She uses this, as Gyoro Gyoro, to tell Garou to wait while sorting out disputes among the monsters.

Miscellaneous Abilities

Monster Transformation Stimulation: Psykos claims that she can stimulate growth in humans and turn some of them into exceptionally powerful monsters, like in the case of Orochi. Gyoro Gyoro's method is unknown in detail, but it can be assumed to be similar to the phenomenon of abnormal cellular reactions that normally transform some humans into monsters, without the Monster Cell.

Keen Intellect: Psykos is a highly intelligent individual and has great authority over almost everyone and oversees the Monster Association's operations as well as its activities. She is able to analyze any individual's power and is the one responsible for evaluating the disaster level of the Monster Association's members. She was also able to measure Garou's exceptional potential after re-encountering him, unlike previous monsters who underestimated the Hero Hunter despite his feats. Additionally, based on battle compatibility, she was able to accurately predict which monsters that needed to be sent to face the heroes that could give perfect victories for the monster side, as shown when the S-Class heroes had severe trouble dealing with the executive members that they had encountered due to her correctly sending the heroes' worst possible match up to face them.

Fighting Style

Master Psychic Combatant: Psykos is a very powerful esper.

Super Gravity Waves (重力超激浪, Jūryoku Chōgekirō): Psykos multiplies the gravity around a certain area to crush her opponent. After merging with Orochi, her ability to multiply gravity increases to the point that even Tatsumaki struggles with the increased gravity.

Gravity Times 300 (重力３００倍, Jūryoku 300-bai): Psykos increases the gravity of an area by 300 times.
