The first is "A," a psychotic assassin with a history of multiple murders and a Hero Association bounty on his head. A fascinating figure among the new Neo Heroes is Accel. Among fans, the former A-rank hero is highly recognized. Acceleration changed his allegiance from the Hero Association to the Neo Heroes after learning of corruption within the former.
