Redirection - While Accelerator can create vectors, his most common application of his power is Redirection.'Accelerator' is both passive and active in usage, being constantly applied to Accelerator himself to block out sound, sunlight, and other vector-based properties. This ability requires a great amount of calculating power from Accelerator, forcing him to take into account every vector he intends to manipulate, as well as any outside factors, such as wind turbulance, oxygen, heat, moisture, air density, etc. In short, he has the ability to control vectors (magnitude and direction) and influence objects that have vectors such as bullets, heat, and electricity. Accelerator - Accelerator's ability is based on Vector Transformation.Name: Accelerator (Real name is Unknown).However, Accelerator's self worth is still incredibly low, and he refuses to ever touch another Misaka clone again. As a result, the once genocidal maniac slowly but surely turned to the light, taking cues from Touma to become a full-fledged hero. With his calculating ability half of what it used to be, Accelerator found himself far weaker than he once was, but ultimately decided to continute protecting Last Order. Heaven Cancellor, the notorious doctor in the city, equipped Accelerator with a choker that connected Accelerator to the Misaka Network, who would now calculate and provide support for Accelerator's motor functions from afar. As a result, Accelerator ended up taking a bullet to the head while combating a virus from Last Order's body, and was crippled.Īfter recovering from his injury, Accelerator learned that he could no longer speak, walk or calculate like he used to. Accelerator chose to protect Last Order, and even sacrificed himself in order to save her. As fate would have it, the Misaka Network was spearheaded by a young girl named Last Order, and Accelerator found himself on a crash-course with forces that sought to kidnap her and use her to revitalize the experiments he had enacted. However, until Misaka Mikoto herself stepped in, the Sisters had no sense of value for their self-worth, and would continue being slaughtered by Accelerator until Mikoto and Kamijou Touma intervened, defeating him.Īccelerator's humiliating defeat at Kamijou's hands shook him to his core, forcing him to re-evaluate himself. He also hoped that the Misaka Clones would display some form of regret or fear, to prove that they were human. In truth, Accelerator wanted to become powerful so that no one would ever think of trying to confront him again, as he had lived his entire life dealing with people injuring or killing themselves on his powers. In order to 'power up', Accelerator would begin murdering more than half the clones, believing that they lacked sentience or a soul. He chose Accelerator as the candidate for ascension, and supplied Accelerator with an army of 20,000 clones of Misaka Mikoto. Some time later, Academy City's leading scientist Kihara Gensei would propose an experimental undertaking to create the first and only Level 6 esper. So much so, in fact, that Accelerator adopted his mentor's crude language and general attitude, which would go on to further define how he viewed himself. It wouldn't be until Kihara Amata came to train Accelerator in understanding and controlling his powers, that Accelerator finally began to look up to someone. It is unknown what escalated the situation, but Accelerator would back down and further reject human interaction. More than anything, he hated being unable to stop people from trying to surpass his powers, which always ended up injuring them.Īt ten years old, Accelerator faced off against the entirety of Academy City's military forces. Even as a child, Accelerator struggled to fit in with others, due to the volatile nature of his powers, which were still developing. Here, Accelerator would stay until he turned nine-years old. Enrolled in the Power Curriculum Program, Accelerator's potential was quickly uncovered and the child was brought to the Special Ability Institute. Accelerator was born with incredibly potent abilities as an esper in Academy City.
