Synopsis
She can pull off what my Quirk does with raw skill alone. From three kilometers away, no less! No way I'm competing with that!
Snipe about Lady Nagant in "Hired Gun"

Snipe (スナイプ Sunaipu?) is a Pro Hero and a member of the teaching staff at U.A. High School. He is in charge of the third year students.[1]

Appearance[]

Snipe has the appearance of a stereotypical Western cowboy. His face is covered by an old-school tan gas mask, shaped a little like a horse’s muzzle, with triangular holes for his eyes and silver ear-defenders wired to the sides of the mask, but his dark, blueish shoulder-length dreadlocks are always visible from the back and sides. On his head, he wears a brown cowboy hat with a thick metallic plate at the front, a large "S" (standing for "Snipe") stamped in the center, and his footwear is gray boots with knee-high shafts and vamps with silver trims that dip a little at the front, a heel-band with a spur at the end attached to the back of each boot.

He wears a large red cloak, buttoned up at the top, with frayed ends, under which he wears a plain black tank top with white armor strapped over the right side of his torso, and a brown belt with a gun holster attached at his hip. He has baggy black or dark brown pants with light brown or yellow chaps over them in stereotypical cowboy fashion. On his arms, he wears black skin tight armguards going up to his biceps and on his hands and tan gloves.

Personality[]

Snipe's costume, Quirk and his overall mannerisms, including his accent in the English dub of the anime, are all similar to that of a traditional cowboy.

Being the head of U.A.'s senior students in the Hero Course, Snipe shows to be quite intelligent and knowledgeable when it comes to battle practice, as he pointed out that having the first year students face robots during the Final Exams wouldn't help them if they would continue to encounter Villains in the future.

Snipe is shown to be levelheaded and rational, as he dissuaded Present Mic raising the possibility of a traitor being in U.A., saying that they couldn’t afford to lose trust in one another. As a hero, he also has a clear morality, as he expressed open disdain for the Hero Public Safety Commission making the Work-Studies mandatory as to prepare the students for an upcoming villain conflict, knowing that they were trying to bring hero students in as additional manpower.

While often calm, he did freak out upon realising he accidentally bumped Toru Hagakure's chest with his elbow during his Final Exam battle, and frantically apologized to her.

Abilities[]

Marksmanship Specialist: Befitting his name, Snipe possesses exceptional aim, being able to accurately shoot Tomura in his arms and legs from an exceptionally long distance. He is considered Japan's second great marksman, after Lady Nagant.

Quirk[]

Homing (ホーミング Hōmingu?):[1] Snipe's Quirk allows him to lock on to any target he can see within six hundred meters and make any projectile he releases chase after said target. He cannot choose what part of the target's body his projectile hits and his attacks do not carry much strength.[2]

Equipment[]

Guns: Snipe possesses a pair of modified guns, which he is able to wield skillfully.

Smoke Grenades: Snipe possesses smoke grenades for concealing his movements or flushing enemies out of an area. These are also the reason for the gas mask on his costume.

High Density Weights (Final Exams Arc): Snipe and the rest of the teachers use these bracelets to give themselves a handicap while they are fighting their students.
