SHFiguarts: Tiger & Bunny - Barnaby Brooks Jr.

Barnaby Brooks Jr. (バーナビー・ブルックスJr.) is a rookie hero who does not conceal his identity and the newest addition to Hero TV. Partnered with and possessing the same power as Wild Tiger, he relies more on strategy than force. He is liked by many people as he is cool and handsome and is currently the top hero, with the title "King of Heroes."

Barnaby is logical and won't rush off without a plan. Unlike his partner, he is only in the hero business for the points. Barnaby used to act only for the fame and points, but that doesn't mean he is cold-hearted. His stoic and cool demeanor was eventually broken by Kotetsu. He actually does care about others, such as his nanny who bakes him a cake every year for his birthday. After Jake's arrest, Barnaby is shown more frequently with a smile and he seems to enjoy himself more. Though he still cares about the points, he argues less and now works very well as a team with Kotetsu. He appears to be very emotionaly unstable and suffers emotional and mental breakdowns at the drop of a hat.

Barnaby's Hundred Power increases his physical capabilities such as strength, speed, and jumping ability, by a hundredfold for five minutes a time. After those five minutes, he must rest for one hour before activating it again. Besides his NEXT powers, he also demonstrates keen observation skills - such as when he notices Origami Cyclone's wristband while the latter is transformed into Jake.
He is also very physically fit (perhaps due in part to his age) and was able to withstand a battle against Jake prior to activating his Hundred Power. Barnaby's attacking forte is in kicking (contrary to Wild Tiger's forte in punching), which would indicate he has a fair amount of agility and speed. With his power activated, he is able to kick through walls and slice a giant block of ice in half through kicking it lengthwise.
