**Hisoka Morrow** is a character in **Hunter X Hunter** who acts as the antagonist for much of the series and is crazy about enemies with great potential.

## Background

Hisoka is a Hunter who became the number 4 member of the Phantom Troupe for a while so he could have a boss fight. He is always on the lookout for strong opponents, and would spare those who have great potential, such as Gon and Killua, in order for them to eventually grow stronger and thus challenge him to finish them off. When Kurapika uses the Judgment Chain on Chrollo, Hisoka ceases to be a member of the Phantom Troupe, however, he continues to help them to find an exorcist of Nen and thus get his long-awaited fight against the leader of the Troupe.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Immense Strength, Agility, Speed, Durability and Stamina:** His physical attributes are naturally already higher than ordinary people due to Hisoka being a very capable hunter.
* **Preternatural Perception**
* **Master Strategist**
* **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**
* **Master in the use of sharp cards**
* **Nen:** Nen is the ability to use the user's vital energy, or aura, and manipulate it. Hisoka is a transmuter, where he can alter the properties of his aura to mimic something else or replicate specific attributes.
	+ **Ten:**It is the ability to prevent the aura from leaking out of the body once the aura's nodules are opened and instead contain it in and around the body. Ten prevents the aura from leaving the body, which allows it to maintain youthful vigor and age at a much slower rate. It also acts as a defense against physical attacks and emotional Nen attacks full of malice.
	+ **Zetsu:**Stops the flow of your body's aura completely, closing off all aura nodules. This makes them more difficult or even impossible to perceive or feel. However, this means that the defense to any Nen, Ten attack is taken down, making it a major risk to use. Zetsu can also relieve fatigue because it interrupts the use of the aura.
	+ **Ren:**It focuses on producing a greater amount of aura than Ten and projecting it out violently. The user exudes a large amount of aura that enhances all their physical abilities, such as stamina and endurance.
	+ **Hatsu:**Is Nen's personal expression. They project their will into their aura and can create special abilities. Hatsu depend a lot on the individuality of the person in question. Typically, people are born with affinities with certain Nen categories, which affects how well one can manipulate Nen towards one of the categories.
	+ **Gyo:**Is an advanced Ren application whereby a Nen user concentrates a large part of their aura on a specific part of the body. It increases the strength of one part of the body but leaves the rest of the body more vulnerable as it is a less protective exchange but greater amplification in a particular place. It is often used to improve the perception of seeing Nen structures hidden by the use of In .
	+ **In:**Is an advanced Zetsu application and makes its aura unnoticeable to Nen users who can see the already invisible Nen, even an extremely powerful aura is hidden. It hides the normal five senses and even extrasensory perception from Nen users. Em can be seen by Gyo.
	+ **En:**is an advanced application of Ten and Ren in which a user extends the aura around a certain distance using Ren to extend their Ten aura to shape it, usually a sphere. The minimum requirements for En are to extend the aura two meters and hold it for one minute. Anything inside En is instantly detected by the user.
	+ **Shu:**Is an advanced application of Ten and wraps objects in an aura, allowing them to be used as an extension of the user's body.
	+ **Ko:**Is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Hatsu, Ren and Gyo to focus the user's aura on a specific part of the body.
	+ **Ken:**Is an advanced application of Ten and Ren. It is primarily a defensive technique through the use of extended Ren. Ken defends the entire body equally. Can also be used as a miniature En.
	+ **Ryu:**Is Ken's use of Gyo in active combat, assigning aura percentages to different body parts when necessary.
* **Transmuter-type Nen Techniques**
	+ **Bungee Gum:** Hisoka's main ability allows him to make a sticky, elastic aura. Its extreme durability, flexibility, and rubbery properties make it a good skill for both offense and defense. He can give you the command to contract at will, and it comes back with greater force the more it is stretched. Offensively, Bungee Gum can be used to pull the opponent towards Hisoka, trap the opponent with the gum, counting their movements, in addition to being able to use the power of the scenario as a form of trap. Hisoka can attach it to a solid surface to retreat at extreme speed when the need arises. Wearing it on his feet, he can cling to the ground or run along walls. On one occasion, he wrapped his lungs and heart with him so that he would resurrect him. By creating a non-sticky aura, he can also replace lost limbs, which he can coil like a spring to propel himself at tremendous speed.
	+ **Texture Surprise:**Hisoka can apply his aura to any smooth, flat surface, such as paper or cloth, and manifest images on it to change its appearance and texture to deception.
