Akira

**Akira** is the misguided antagonist-turned-secondary protagonist of *Heroes Universe*, debuting in Volume 2 as Liberty's rival.

He is a vigilante anti-hero who saves people in a less heroic manner and sometimes breaks the law. Akira is considered as the male equivalent to Liberty, hence that they both were born in Kampus from their Yapanese parents, they were powerless until they got a superpower from their mentors and is the leader of their own organizations.

Akira's superpower is Armor. He can manifest a super armor in the color of dark purple and it makes him more stronger, safer and faster. When he takes massive damage from his foes, his armor becomes more and more powerful and pretty much more safer, consuming his entire body and making him pretty much next to invincible, possibly making Akira immune to powers like Liberty's Imaginative.

He wears a red shirt with a crescent moon with a dot in the center, referencing his power, red and black checkered belt, black shorts with red details, black tight pants, and Red Super Sneakers Valuable.
