**Spark Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 3 created by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to charge equipment that ran on electricity. Spark Man is designed to resemble a spark plug, and lacks hands. In place of them are two high-voltage electrodes, capable of producing powerful electric shocks and channeling his Special Weapon, Spark Shock. This enables him to fire sparks of electrical energy in multiple directions, that can quickly immobilize opponents in their tracks.

Friendly to his comrades, he usually helps to charge them up when they need extra energy, and can generate twice as high voltage as Elec Man- however, he tends to be scatterbrained, and thus is not as good at focusing his power. He also has an unusual fascination with catfish and electric eels due to their unique ability to naturally produce electricity, but tends to feel depressed when left alone for a long period of time.

Magnet Man's Special Weapon is the Magnet Missile, horseshoe-shaped missiles that can home in on nearby enemies, fired from a launcher on his right wrist. He is also capable of generating a powerful magnetic field to draw metallic opponents closer to him with his magnetic powers, so he can attack them from close range, which makes him a bit of a rough-and-tumble type of character.

A good leader and tactician in combat, Magnet Man is skilled in the field of management, but he has quite an abrasive personality, and is often considered by his colleagues to have no sense of direction. Though he is a robot, he takes care of his health, enjoying magnetic therapy and massages. He has to be kept away from floppy disks and any other nearby magnetic storage mediums due to accidentally corrupting them when he is near them. He has been observed utilizing his powers to magnetically stick himself to ceilings when sleeping.

**Fire Man** is a Robot Master from the original Mega Man. He was built by Dr. Light to work in an incinerator at a waste management facility and is able to wield flames that can reach 7000-8000 degrees.[1] Fire Man can melt or burn through almost anything with his Special Weapon, the Fire Storm, whose weapon system excellently combines offense and defense. Fire Man's and Bomb Man's development began at the same time, and despite being warned by Rock that working with both explosives and fire could be dangerous, Dr. Light went on believing that Ice Man could handle the situation in case anything happened. A few flash fires did occur, but Ice Man ran away saying he doesn't like saunas.[2]

A hot-blooded and charismatic, albeit hot-tempered individual, Fire Man sees himself as something of a hero, obsessed with fire and the ideals of justice, often referring to himself as the "Flame of Justice". He enjoys camping in the summer, but has a particular dislike for rainy days and the cold, particularly from his weakness, the Ice Slasher.

**Flame Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 originally created to generate a large amount of thermal power, which is also his energy source. Although this is a somewhat outdated power source, it gives him more stability than robots with solar energy. Flame Man was later modified for the First Annual Robot Tournament, his thermal power circuits being turned outward so he can use his immense thermal energy for fire attacks, released in the form of a flamethrower on his arm. With it, not only can he can attack from a distance with searing balls of fire, but he can utilize his Special Weapon, the Flame Blast, to scorch opponents with flames that erupt from the ground.

Flame Man is very punctual, changing his oil three times a day due to his energy source. However, living such a strict routine has made him demanding. He sports a turban and enjoys taking care of his mustache, but is somewhat fussy and dislikes using cheap oil to power himself.
