Claw

Claw is a criminal organisation composed entirely of Espers. They recruit Espers to strengthen themselves and plan to overthrow the world government. The organisation was founded and is led by Touichirou Suzuki.

Scar
"Scar" is a special cadre of the organisation, composed of particularly powerful Espers. When a member of Claw defies and/or challenges the boss, a wound is placed on them; this mark is representative of the boss acknowledging the recipient's skills and thus they become a member of "Scar". However, this is proven to be false by Shizamaki, stating that these scars mean "cross"; the symbol of disposable and useless products. They will be disposed once world domination is completed. There are many branches stationed throughout the countries, led by 'Branch Representatives' that are the most powerful in their own branches. There are 20 branches in total, with 19 of Branch Representatives defeated by Teruki and Takeuchi while 7th Branch Representative is defeated by Shou.

Claw HQ
The most important branch in the structure of Claw, composed of henchmen, Super 5 and the boss. Foreign mercenaries were once part of Claw but they were annihilated by the Super 5 after Joseph, an assassin sent by the World Government, led a riot and tried to subdue Touichirou Suzuki and Katsuya Serizawa before being disposed by the latter (his fate is unknown but implied death). The 600 soldier army were shown to be previously commoners, as said by Matsuo, but after Suzuki imbued them with his power, large groups are powerful enough to collapse buildings without breaking a sweat. Fukuda, Higashio and Ootsuki were also once part of the HQ but joined Shou against the resistance against the boss.

Super 5
The most powerful cadre of Claw, they are the only ones the Boss 'trusted' and true cadres. They are immensely powerful, described as having an unusual 'aura' as said by Ritsu. It is said by Touichirou that Serizawa is the most powerful cadre but is considered weak by his soft nature. Shizamaki thinks he is the most powerful, right after the Boss but this is proven wrong. The Five members have unique and weird powers, namely:

• Serizawa - powerful psychokinesis, capable of withstanding amd escape Joseph's smoke hindering 'White Noise', which can solidify itself and its victim, causing them to suffocate. Can imbue energy through his umbrella, serving both as defense and offense. If an atack is powerful enough, it can pierce through his barrier and destroy his weapon. • Shizamaki - having the most abilities, teleportation and reading his enemies movements. He is one of the few people who can use 2 abilities simultaneously (teleportation and reading his opponents. If an opponent is going to attack, he cuts back his teleportation and raises his barrier. His extrasensory perception is his most vital ability). If he predicted his opponents actions, even if he didn't teleport, he can take the attack head on with nothing even a scratch. However, the loophole in his power is distraction and unpredictability, as proven by Teruki and Ritsu, using this to their advantage. Also, his movements were too simple, as Teruki was able to predict his attacks. He is also capable to find one's vital spot, that can cause its victim to collapse with blurry eyesight, twitching fingers, and shrinking pupils to halt the resistance group combination attacks. However, if the esper is strong enough, this technique can cause less devasting effect. If he concentrates hard enough, his super sensory perception will sharpen until he could see other espers' auras, this technique is called 'Super sensory Zone Mind's Eye'. The weakness of this is that it can't detect weak signals (such as insects and animals) as well as 'commoners' (people with no psychic powers) since he didn't detect Reigen, who attacked him with one of his secret techniques: "Justifiable Self-defense Rush!!!!". • Hatori - the weakest amongst the cadre, since he can't attack quickly and without a mechanical medium. He is able to negate signals and electronics in a wide circumference to prevent the media to record their actions. With ease, he is able to hack the national program with just a projector. Incomprehensible power, even he himself doesn't know how it works, only how to use it. • Shibata - a large individual with muscle manipulation and so far the tallest character in the series. He can manipulate his muscles by his brain, which sends signals nonstop unless he stops it. If he is unconscious, he won't be able to hold back this signals, thus he gets stronger rapidly. • Minegishi - plant manipulation. If an esper is ever caught by his plants it will strangulate and suck their life force. It works with his imbued energy and mind control. These medium serves both as his offense and defense, which can be a weakness. He is powerless without his medium and against evil spirits, the only way to defeat him is to overthrow his 'dominance' over the plants.
