- —Tatsumaki
Tatsumaki, also known as the Tornado of Terror,[Note 1] is a protagonist from the One-Punch Man series. She appeared in the 117th episode of Death Battle, Mob VS Tatsumaki, where she fought against Mob from the Mob Psycho 100 series.
History
Tatsumaki was born with incredible psychic abilities. Her blossoming powers eventually led to her being taken away from her adopted family at the age of seven by scientists interested in studying her abilities, as her parents were given money for complying. Her abilities were tested by these scientists, who rewarded her for cooperation, but denied her from witnessing the outside world. Moreover, she was kept locked up in a cell whenever she wouldn't use her powers. While Tatsumaki's powers as an esper grew exponentially, but she felt helpless even when she had honed them to degrees previously believed unfathomable.
That all changed when one day, a monster outbreak occurred while she was still locked in her cell, leaving her alone to fend off the monster. Luckily, the Rank 1 S-Class Hero known as Blast managed to come to Tatsumaki's rescue. After which, the hero said to her “When the time comes, don't go expecting someone to come save you.” She took this to heart, both good and bad, and was inspired by him to become a hero herself. She ended up joining the Hero Association when she was older, eventually earning the title of Rank 2 S-Class Hero, even outpacing her younger sister, Fubuki, in terms of recognition and psychokinetic prowess.
