Blindside

“

“Maybe. But he’s at least smart enough to know that if he crosses me he’s going to have to watch his back. You know why he’s going to have to watch his back? Because I’ll be there, walking up to his front, grabbing his dick and balls, and cutting ’em off.”

Summary

Blindside is a villainous mercenary in Ward. A powerful Stranger, Blindside is impossible to look or aim at due to their power, and first came into conflict with Victoria Dallon during the Norfair Community Center Attack. Blindside later was hired by Teacher to oppose Goddess' group during the attack on the parahuman prison, and was never seen again after successfully barring Victoria's group from an exit tunnel.

Much later, a Stranger on Earth Cheit underwent a broken second trigger and became The Strange Titan. Very little is known about it besides a universal inability to perceive or aim at it, and a new power that lets it shatter the minds of those caught in its gaze.

Ultimately forced Breakthrough to retreat, by manipulating the prison situation to their benefit. Unknown as a Titan. Some Titans are shown to be mostly animistic, like Skadi and the Nemean Titan, while other titans are capable of stalemating The Simurgh.

Weaknesses: One can face Blindside if their eyes are closed | None notable

Note: While it hasn't been directly confirmed, the similarities between their two powers and the way that nothing has been heard about Blindside since Arc 9 makes it very likely that Blindside became The Strange/Blind Titan. Their abilities make getting any sort of confirmation difficult.
