- —Mob
Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama is the main protagonist of the Mob Psycho 100 series. He appeared in the 117th episode of Death Battle, Mob VS Tatsumaki, where he fought against Tatsumaki from the One-Punch Man series.
History
Shigeo Kageyama is an average middle school boy who was nicknamed "Mob" because of his lack of presence. From an early age, he learned he was an esper, a person with special psychic abilities. But after an incident where he accidentally hurt his younger brother Ritsu in an attempt to save him from bullies, Mob became frightened of his own powers and started to suppress them, along with his emotions. Seeking out a guiding force to follow, he met his mentor Arataka Reigen, the self-proclaimed "greatest psychic of the 21st century". It was thanks to Reigen that Mob learned his psychic ability did not make him inherently greater than anyone else and that it should be used to help rather than harm.
Regardless, Mob still devotes most of his time to just trying to be an ordinary boy in pursuit of the girl he likes, while juggling the life of an average middle-schooler. The supernatural, however, seems to constantly get in his way, and although he tries his best to limit the use of his powers, his suppressed emotions building up inside him little by little causes his power to occasionally explode as he encounters evil spirits, such as Dimple and Keiji Mogami, or the criminal esper group, Claw. But no matter how powerful his foes may be, Mob's greatest challenge of all would be overcoming his fears and learning to accept himself for who he was.
