Heroes of ONE Punch Man as D&D5e Characters

I really enjoy the anime created by the Japanese artist known as ONE. There’s no way of playing the main protagonist, One Punch Man himself, Saitama, as that would be a) overpowered; and b) boring!

However, there are several other characters worth recreating using D&D5e rules for the fun of it. A lot of them would overlap for creating them using standard D&D rules, as it’s all about the flavour and flair used in playing the characters. 

The ranking within the Heroes Association would come down to levels in D&D5e – the only mechanical difference between Tanktop Tiger, Tanktop Blackhole, and Tanktop Master will be their levels, while in play the main thing will be the cosmetics and personality differences [aka, hairstyle and colour of tank top…].

I’m skipping many heroes for the following reasons: 

1. I cannot think of how to make the characters using existing D&D5e rules (no homebrew, but not always DDAL legal).
2. I’m not interested in the character

S-Class Heroes
