==Summary==
Ed is a playable character introduced in Street Fighter V. Ed is one of Shadaloo's many victims, having been subjected to cruel experiments since childhood that enhanced his physical abilities and grented him control of Psycho Power. Ed's fate was to become a loyal soldier and future spare body for M. Bison, but following the collapse of the facility he was being kept in, Ed was found and taken away by Balrog, who planned to exploit his powers for potential future economical gain.
Tormented by an accelerated growth and nightmares of M. Bison's looming shadow, Ed tagged along with Balrog for a time. Unexpectedly to both, the two gradually developed a solid fraternal bond and came to see each other for the individuals they truly are. However, the young boy eventually felt the need of walking his own path and parted ways from his partner with a heavy heart but hope for the future.
Ed made it his mission to destroy the remnants of Shadaloo and rescue all the other experimental subjects like him. Together they formed an organization of survivors that came to be known as Neo Shadaloo, much to Ed's disdain, which aims at building a world where they can leave in peace and free from those who try to put them undeir their heel. 
Ed is 182 cm tall, weighs 86 kg, likes boxing and landsliding victories, while he hates idealists, M. Bison and needles.Street Fighter VI - Official Website

===Psycho Boxing===
Ed's personal style of boxing owes much to that of his teacher, unsophisticated and focused on strength and speed, a rough approach that has not let him down yet. Still, Ed's repertoire of techniques bears a certain degree of finesse, even branching out of classic boxe due to the implementation of kicks, marking the young fighter's unruliness.
Ed's most notable trait is the innate ability to manipulate Psycho Power, a unique type of chi that stems from one's psyche and was created by M. Bison as a corruption of Soul Power. It is very malleable and adapts well to the different likings of each user. Ed uses it to add even more strength to his physical attacks and to render the opponent helpless through energy wires that fit his ruthless combinations of punches. Having experienced on himself the dangers of Psycho Power, Ed has worked hard to put it under his control.
Ed fights for his and his friend's survival, that deep connection is what gives him the strength to push forward against all odds.
