Sho Suzuki

Shou Suzuki (鈴木将 Suzuki Shou) is the son of the leader of Claw. He led a direct resistance against his father's world domination plan.

Appearance
Shou has spiky, upward-pointing hair, a widow's peak, thin eyebrows, and light-colored eyes. He is usually seen wearing a white shirt, a letterman jacket, jeans, and sneakers.

Personality
Shou is a confident and slightly arrogant teenager. He is very responsible for his age but not good at remaining calm. He is energetic and optimistic, usually coming off as cheerful and candid. Despite his lighthearted demeanor, he is seriously determined and can be threatening when he wants to. When he gets emotional, he has been known to cover his face with one or both hands.

History
Shou refused to be a part of Claw, his father's criminal organization, so he ran away from home. He decided to personally oppose his father and prevent him from taking over the world. For that purpose, he began gathering allies, starting with several espers who used to be stationed at Claw HQ. These espers became his lackeys, and it seems that he lives with them. Shou is in contact with his estranged mother, who left his father a long time ago.

Plot
Shou first appeared at the 7th Branch of Claw, where he hoped to recruit strong espers for his personal army. He encountered Ritsu and the other Awakening Lab kids as they were escaping. Shou warned them to return from whence they came, evidently thinking that they would get in the way of his plans. Ritsu challenged him and was utterly defeated off-camera. He stood by invisibly as Mob found the unconscious Ritsu and subsequently clashed with Mutou. After the fight ended in a double K.O., Shou reappeared and talked to himself for a bit before hauling the Kageyama brothers off to Sakurai's Curse Room. Then he sat there reading manga as the incredulous Teru, already being held prisoner in that room, wondered whether it was he (Shou) who had defeated the brothers. Shou noticed Teru staring and teased him a little. He briefly conversed with Sakurai, Ishiguro, and Muraki. It seems that Shou had already left the room when underlings showed up to announce (erroneously) that the boss of Claw had arrived.

Later, Shou appeared at a critical moment to punch Ishiguro upside the head, counter his attack, and defeat him. He called Mob a disappointing wimp and gave Ritsu a significant glance before vanishing into thin air.

Shou next appeared at the front door of the Kageyama household. He convinced Ritsu to accompany him, evacuated the latter's parents, and burned their house down as a means of inciting Mob to action. After watching Touichirou's world domination announcement on TV, Shou mobilized his troops and set off to confront his father directly. After defeating numerous low-level espers, he one-hit K.O.'d Hatori and finally reached his father. Shou released his Charge Bomb, Serizawa blocked it, and Touichirou retaliated with his own version of the technique.

Shou was pretty thoroughly defeated and about to get seriously hurt when Mob showed up and protected him from Touichirou's attack. When he learned that Mob had come to talk Touichirou down, Shou again thought of him as wimpy, but he soon realized that such an action actually requires great strength. He spilled the beans that had just been spilled to him, informing Mob that his father's secret technique was lending some of his psychic power to other people. Mob lent some of his own power to Shou, allowing him to stand up and walk. Soon enough, Shou and everyone except Mob and Touichirou were left on the ground to helplessly watch the overpowered fight occurring above them.

After Touichirou's defeat, Shou seemed concerned about his father's fate. As Touichirou was being led away in (improvised) handcuffs, Shou told him that things aren't over and that he still needs to get scolded by Shou's mom.

Powers & Abilities
Shou possesses powerful psychokinesis, telekinesis, and a personal psychic barrier.

He seems to use the same method of telekinetic movement that Teru employs, allowing him to deliver his knee directly to the faces of at least 7 people in rapid succession.

His Charge Bomb technique allows him to store up power over a period of time and discharge it all in a single burst of psychic energy. It is revealed that his father can do the same thing.

He has the unique ability to render himself completely invisible by bending the waves of light around him.
