Mega Man

Mega Man, also known as Rock, Rockman, Mega Buddy, The Blue Bomber and Blue Metal Hero, is the titular main protagonist from the Mega Man series.
== Charactah Account ==
The legendary Blue Bomber built by Dr. Light. He was formerly a humanoid helper robot named Rock (sometimes called "Mega") who was later modified into a super fighting robot upon his request. Mega Man is equipped with the Mega Buster, and the ability to copy techniques from the Robot Masters he defeats.
Mega Man's personality seems to stem from his creator, Dr. Light, whose intention may have been to design Rock based on his own interpretation of a real boy as if it were his very own son. Rock, who would later be upgraded into the super fighting robot known as Mega Man, demonstrates a wide range of emotions, similar to that of a prepubescent boy, not typical of other robots, thus making him unique.
Mega Man's primarily extremely courageous and just, choosing to become Mega Man and face the threat Wily posed because he wanted to help and do the right thing. This said he's also a pacifist and in the Mega Man Powered Up pre-boss cutscenes he always tried to find an alternative to violence. This trait was also, to a degree, shown in Mega Man 8 where he questioned Bass as to why they must fight. Along with these traits he's also kind, generous and polite.

== Trivia ==
* Mega Man's name "Rock", alongside the name of his sister "Roll", when said together punningly reference the genre of music rock 'n roll. This started a trend of naming many of the characters in the series after genres of music, or after musical terms or groups, or to create music-related puns.
* Being the first, "classic" Mega Man's design was decided to be the analogue and template for other characters in the series that would bear the name. Notably, what would originally be the first character to succeed Mega Man, had a radically different design, before the developers decided on another, more similar design to the original Mega Man.
* Rock, Mega Man's original name, remained the same in Japanese and in other languages until Mega Man Powered Up, when it was changed to "Mega" in localizations but remained "Rock" in Japanese. This change has since been retconned, however, as evidenced by the U.S. Mega Man 9 website which uses the name "Rock". The Archie Comics Mega Man series establishes "Rock" as not only his original name but also the name of Mega Man's civilian form.
** However, in Mega Man 11, Mega Man is called "Mega" instead of "Rock", although the way it is used could also be interpreted as a shortening of "Mega Man".
* Mega Man appears as Rock (that is to say, his human-looking form) in only six games: Mega Man, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 11, Mega Man V (Game Boy), Mega Man's Soccer and Mega Man Powered Up, being playable in the latter; he uses a "Mega Kick" instead of an arm cannon.
* Taking the full series into account, in addition to the Robot Masters generally speaking, Rock has three siblings: a sister, an elder brother, and a younger brother.
** As Rock and his siblings are considered by Dr. Light to be his children, it is possible that some or all of them carry the surname "Light".
* In the final Club Capcom magazine there was an Ask Dr. Light bit in which he said regarding the robot master energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way and that Mega Man’s charge shot discharges condensed solar energy.
* Mega Man has had numerous doppelgängers in the series, these being: Copy Robot, Shadow Mega Man, Mega Man? and Rockman Shadow.
** Quint, interestingly, doesn't exactly count as he is the original Mega Man himself but either from the future or from a possible future.
