Bang

Biodata

Background / History

Bang found Dai Changsheng as an abandoned orphan and took him in, preventing him from starving. Dai trained under him for more than ten years, though he initially achieved only B-Class Hero rank 4. 205

Dai’s emergence changed the dojo’s internal succession: Garou, who had originally been Bang’s chief disciple, resented Dai’s position as senior brother and challenged him. 206

After Dai awakened Psychic Power, Bang personally tested it and was immobilized. Though he found the development unbelievable, he welcomed Dai’s increased strength and arranged to bring him to the Hero Association’s S-Class Heroes gathering to seek Tatsumaki’s guidance. 207
