== Biography ==
In the year 20XX, Mega Man was created by Dr. Thomas Light as a successor to a rogue robot, known as Proto Man, as part of the robotics project called "Robot Master". The Robot Master project would make a humanoid robot whom would be able supervise the other, less intelligent robots. Dr. Light, concerned that Proto Man had escaped as he did not have a peer, constructed two robots, Rock (known as Mega in Mega Man: Powered Up) and Roll, whom would work as a pair. 
Rock was created as a lab assistant to Dr. Light, whereas Roll was created as a house-keeping robot. With the success of the pair, Dr. Light created six more production-type robots to be used for public construction and building. These new robots contained the Robot Master's intelligence and reasoning potential. When a colleague of Dr. Light, Dr. Albert W. Wily, had been overshadowed by his partner's contributions to robotics, he had used Proto Man, whom he had found at near-death due to an energy system malfunction, to re-program Dr. Light's robots to do his biddings. Rock, whom was left unharmed by Dr. Wily, requests that Dr. Light to convert him from a helper robot to a fighting robot, which Dr. Light does as Rock was programmed with the ability to determine right from wrong.

Mega Man, whom was known as Rock prior to his conversion to a fighting robot, when coupled with Roll, is a play on the phrase "rock and roll". The name "Rock" may also be a reference to the Rock, Paper, Scissors gameplay mechanic found in almost all Mega Man games to date.
