**Snake Man** is a Robot Master with a snake motif created by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to investigate narrow areas and survey topography on uninhabited planets marked for development. With his quick and lightweight body, he was well-suited for work on any kind of terrain. However, this caught the attention of Dr. Wily, who stole him, reprogrammed him into a combat robot, and sent him to work in order to fulfill his schemes.[1] Snake Man is also the first Robot Master to have an animal-themed design.

Snake Man is intelligent and shrewd, but he can also be tenacious. He enjoys actively hunting and cornering his prey like a snake, which puts him at odds with the fair-minded Hard Man. He enjoys the company of Toad Man, for whom the feelings are unfortunately not mutual, and has a hatred of slugs.

His Special Weapon is the Search Snake, serpentine missiles that can move swiftly along the ground and even climb up walls. In Super Adventure Rockman he is shown to be able to dig underground to stay out of sight and ambush opponents, or to avoid their attacks.

**Blizzard Man** is a snow themed Robot Master from Mega Man 6. He was originally created to monitor the weather in the Antarctic, but later his meteorological equipment was exchanged for a machine able to produce artificial snow using the humidity in the air, which he can use to attack enemies by creating ice crystals in his Blizzard Attack. He can also attack by rolling at enemies. Blizzard Man likes skiing and has won three gold medals consecutively in the robot Olympics.

In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, but was defeated by Mega Man. After the events of Mega Man 6, he found work as a weather forecaster.

**Dust Man** is a Robot Master with a built in vacuum cleaner, originally created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack to be used for sanitation, being able to inhale any type of garbage smaller than him. His powerful suction power got Dr. Wily's attention and he was modified into a combat robot to fight against Mega Man in Mega Man 4. Dust Man's Special Weaponis the Dust Crusher, a bomb encased in compacted scrap metal that can launch debris in several directions upon impact. He can also pull opponents towards himself with his vacuum.

Dust Man, while a good sanitation robot, often overestimates the amount of garbage he can handle, and thus his vacuum jets often get jammed due to the mass amount of garbage he can end up inhaling, which requires him to be cleaned out. He enjoys spring cleaning, but suffers from bad breath and a pollen allergy, and has an evident dislike of mice and other rodents. His weakness is the Ring Boomerang, which can jam his vacuum and render it inoperable.

**Wood Man** is a combat Robot Master created by Doctor Albert W. Wily using natural hinoki cypresses. He has a very unique design due to his body being made almost completely out of wood- including some of his mechanisms, along with a thin coating of metal for extra protection. Because of this, Wood Man has great strength and resistance against physical blows, but is somewhat slow and highly vulnerable to fire and cutting weaponry.

His Special Weapon is the Leaf Shield, leaf-shaped pieces of Ceratanium that are sharpened around the edges and levitated using electromagnetism, and can be used to protect himself and attack enemies in different ways, including launching them in rings of four or eight, and summoning them down from the ceiling to fall down onto the target. Due to his flammable construction, his primary weakness is the Atomic Fire.

Wood Man is apparently one of Dr. Wily's favorite robots, due to his unique, resilient design, and according to the amount of times he has been called into action against Mega Man. He is kind to his subordinates, especially the animal-based robots that guard his stage, but is easily offended and has little tolerance for those who harm nature. Wood Man enjoys the world's natural beauty, and often goes hiking and mountaineering in his spare time.

**Pharaoh Man** is a Robot Masterdesigned as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh that resembles Tutankhamun. He was originally created by Dr. Cossack with high resistance, agility, and adaptability to the dark to explore pyramids and other ancient ruins. When Dr. Wily forced Dr. Cossack to work for him, Pharaoh Man was modified to have extra attack power for his battle against Mega Man in Mega Man 4. His Special Weapon is the Pharaoh Shot, a sphere that is charged with solar energy. Pharaoh Man is a charismatic leader -- he enjoys collecting rare treasures and is said to have over one thousand Mummira working for him, but becomes timid near beautiful women and has a particular disdain for tomb robbers.

In the game Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Pharaoh Man has new powers, being able to levitate, create a giant eye-shaped shield for additional defense, summon Astro Zombiegs and release waves of solar energy in two directions with the Pharaoh Wave.

Junk Man

**Junk Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 7 who was created by Dr. Albert Wily to search for parts that could be used to create robots. Junk Man's body is made from old, scrapped robot parts and metallic pieces of metal held together by electromagnetic forces. Because of his strength and resistance, Wily modified him for combat. Junk Man can concentrate the electromagnetic forces to pull junk near him, using it for attacks like a block of junk and the Junk Shield. His weakness, the Thunder Bolt, disturbs the electromagnetic forces inside his body, thus making his body parts unable to hold their connection and shatter.

**Air Man** is a Robot Master from the Mega Man series created by Dr. Wily specially for combat, debuting in Mega Man 2. Air Man has his face built into his torso instead of a head - an unusual design, said to be intimidating. This body supposedly worked out so well from a design perspective that it was dubbed the "Air Man type" design, and would be used as a basis for future creations such as Needle Man. Air Man's main method of attack is to generate powerful winds with the propeller in his torso - in particular, he is able to push enemies away or pull them or other items towards him, generate typhoons, and can use his Special Weapon, the Air Shooter, to attack foes with rapid barrages of tornadoes.

Air Man is something of an egotist; whilst generally an individual of good character, he can be condescending and has a tendency to bore his colleagues by talking about himself for long periods of time. In his spare time, Air Man enjoys Wind Surfing, and is skilled at the Japanese card game Menko. He dislikes the autumn season however, due to falling leaves clogging up his propeller - the same reason he is weak to Wood Man's Leaf Shield.

**Metal Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2. He was the first Robot Master built by Dr. Wily, created specifically for combat for his revenge against Mega Man. Wily based Metal Man's design on Cut Man. His Special Weapon is the Metal Blade, which are large, razor-sharp, circular saw blades made of ceramic titanium that he can throw at a high speed with deadly accuracy. His lightweight design also grants him high agility, but because of a design flaw, Metal Man is particularly vulnerable to Mega Man's Mega Buster and to his own Metal Blades.

Whilst Metal Man is a quick and efficient worker, he possesses a dry wit, having something of a reputation amongst his colleagues for being sarcastic and often untrustworthy. Directly relating to his skill with throwing his Blades, he enjoys playing with Frisbees in his spare time, but dislikes it when dogs get in his way by catching them. When Dr. Light saw Metal Man for the first time, he remarked that he was "the dentist of the future".

Metal Man is most infamous amongst players for being killed with two hits from his own weapon when fighting him for the second time in Mega Man 2, which was added as a secret trick to make the game more captivating. Also, a glitch in the Game Boy game Mega Man II can leave Metal Man stuck in the walls, making him harmless.

**Bubble Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2, and the first aquatic Robot Master created by Dr. Wily for underwater combat. However, a defect in his systems made him unable to walk on land, being only able to move by jumping. When Wily noticed this, he couldn't help but laugh. Despite this flaw, Bubble Man is at home in the water, being able to swim at a remarkable speed.

Bubble Man attacks with normal shots from a cannon on his right arm, and can fire his Special Weapon, the Bubble Lead, from both the aforementioned arm cannon and a special Bubble Gun on top of his head. Bubble Man can utilise the bubbles for several different purposes, including hitting opponents with bursts of small bubbles and blowing larger and more durable bubbles to either wrap opponents inside to trap them temporarily, or for Bubble Man himself to hide in as a shield.

Despite often being the butt of jokes due to his design flaws, Bubble Man is an affable and high-spirited individual, but has a bad habit of lavishly spending money when he has it. He enjoys bathing in hot springs in his spare time, but much like the later-introduced Wave Man, has a vehement dislike for water pollution, especially oil slicks.

**Bomb Man** is a Robot Master from the original Mega Man. He was created by Doctor Thomas Light for demolition and land development, blasting away debris so that land could be cleared for construction projects, working in tandem with Guts Man. Bomb Man's and Fire 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 things if anything happened. A few flash fires did occur, but Ice Man ran away saying he doesn't like saunas.[2]His Special Weapon is the Hyper Bomb -- very powerful explosives originally used for land reclamation and destroying abandoned buildings.

Bomb Man's personality depicts him to be that of a teenager (possibly a nod to his mohawk). He enjoys fighting and is an expert in demolitions, being able to quickly create and throw Hyper Bombs with startling accuracy, capable of destroying most targets with ease. However, he also enjoys firework displays, festivals, and ten-pin bowling. He is also a daredevil and his attitude depicts it, but he can be a bit wasteful on money and his bombs and has a dislike for a match or lighter, possibly a relation to his weakness, the Fire Storm. Bomb Man is a playable character in both Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man's Soccer.

**Gemini Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 3, created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. He is capable of creating holographic copies of himself, and uses that power to confuse and overwhelm his opponents as he attacks them. While he only uses one copy in most of his appearances, in Super Adventure Rockman he is shown to be able to produce up to four copies of himself at once. However, even without his clones helping him, he is a very tricky opponent to deal with, especially when he brings his Special Weapon, the fast and reflective Gemini Laser, into play.

Gemini Man is an elegant fighter who is confident in his abilities, but is rather conceited. He is a narcissist, and likes to admire himself in a mirror or with one of his copies. Gemini Man also has a hatred and fear of snakes, mainly because his weakness is the Search Snake.

8-Bit
Gravity Man

**Gravity Man** (グラビティーマン Gurabitīman) is a Robot Mastercreated by Doctor Albert Wily. He has the ability to control gravity with the unit installed in his body. In Mega Man 5, he occupied an anti-gravity research institute and used it against Mega Man.[1]His only offensive weapon against enemies is a buster, but he can use Gravity Hold in a short range to freely manipulate his opponents' gravity and his own gravity and then fall like a heavy weight into them. He dislikes outer space since there is little gravity found in space. For this reason, his weakness is the Star Crash.

**Napalm Man** is a Robot Masterfrom Mega Man 5 created by Dr. Wily to protect his secret weapons factory, where he would spend his spare time collecting and searching for weapons as strong or stronger than his own.

Napalm Man is a weapons enthusiast equipped with an array of explosive weapons all over his body - he is equipped with Napalm Bomb launchers in his arms, a large missile launcher in his head, and also launch six smaller homing missiles from silos concealed in his shoulders. He has treads on his feet and can increase his speed with a rocket booster on his back.

Because he is generally considered to be a walking weapon, even his allies feel uncomfortable near him, so he doesn't have many friends. He is however very loyal, and more intelligent and diplomatic than his appearance would suggest, being an expert in the fields of both weaponry and negotiation.

Public Enemy

Public Enemy is a rap group whose controbution to rock is through their collaboration with thrash band Anthrax. Overall the group had three platinum albums and two gold. *Give It Up* was a hit single. With Anthrax they created the song *Bring the Noize* and helped popularize the fusion of rap and metal, which paved the way for bands like Rage Against the Machine and Beastie Boys. They were inducted into the Hall of Fame their first year of eligibility. It has been criticized that PE has gotten in and not Anthrax.

**Quick Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2 who was created by Dr. Wily using Elec Man's design as a base. Quick Man is made of lightweight materials, allowing him to move at very high speeds, but this can easily cause him to be blown away by weapons like the Air Shooter. Though his top running speed is unknown, Quick Man is one of the fastest Robot Masters in the Mega Man series. His Special Weapon is the Quick Boomerang, small razor-edged boomerangs that he can rapidly fire from the launcher on his right arm. In Super Adventure Rockman and other media, he is shown to be also able to wield a larger boomerang like a sword.

Quick Man is a cunning Robot Master who is confident in his abilities, and particularly proud of his speed. Whilst he is an accomplished decision-maker, he is also impulsive, possessing a tendency to act on a whim. He is an early riser, tends to get bored very quickly by slowness, and is shown to be a huge fan of motor racing, both as a spectator and a competitor. Due to the similar emphasis on speed in their designs, Quick Man is shown to have a friendly rivalry with Turbo Man.

**Heat Man** is a combat Robot Master from Mega Man 2 created by Dr. Wily based on Fire Man's design. His body has a box-like shape which resembles a Zippo lighter, with a lid that Heat Man can use to retract his head into for additional protection, but it can sometimes close down onto him unintentionally. He is designed to be highly resistant to sources of heat, including fire and magma, and has a dial in his back that regulates the power of his flames, which he's unaware of.

His Special Weapon is the Atomic Fire, a heat-based weapon powered by highly compressed nuclear energy, which can be charged to produce bursts of fire at temperatures of up to 12,000 degrees Celsius (21,632 degrees Fahrenheit).  He can also spit fire from his mouth and project enormous fire blasts from his hands. Heat Man's favorite attack is to first surround himself in flames for protection, making him invulnerable for a short time, before charging at his opponents at high speed from across the arena, causing major damage to his foes by crashing into them.

Whilst Heat Man lacks enthusiasm for his line of work, he is carefree and happy to work at his own pace in doing so. He enjoys summer barbeques, but has a dislike of water (particularly from his weakness, the Bubble Lead) and cold things, such as ice cream.

8-Bit
Knight Man

**Knight Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed to resemble a medieval knight with resistant armor. He was created primarily for combat, with high attack and defense attributes at the cost of lower mobility due to his weight. It is said that he has defeated over 1000 robots in duels. Knight Man is equipped with the Knight Crusher, a strong flail with a long chain in his left arm which allows him to attack with huge power from great distances. In his right arm, he holds a resistant knight's shield, allowing him to block almost all attacks from the front.

Knight Man is one of the two Mega Man 6 Robot Masters to be designed specifically for combat (the other being Tomahawk Man), though not explicitly for the First Annual Robot Tournament. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world. Because of his spirit of chivalry and honor, Yamato Man has great respect for him, and ironically, his weakness is the Yamato Spear, due to its ability to go around his shield and pierce his armor.

8-Bit
Tomahawk Man

**Tomahawk Man** is a combat Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed with a Native North American warrior motif. Unlike the other seven Robot Masters from Mega Man 6, Tomahawk Man was built purposely for the First Annual Robot Tournament. However, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, and was defeated by Mega Man.

His main weapon is the Silver Tomahawk, which he can easily throw and hit a target 100 meters away (328 feet, miscalculated as 30 feet in his English CD data), but it moves in an upward arch, leaving a safe area for the opponent. To compensate for this, he can also attack by firing feathers horizontally from his headdress.

8-Bit
Charge Man

**Charge Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 5 based on an old steam locomotive, which is used as camouflage by him to make shipments to areas occupied by Dr. Wily. Charge Man is unique in that he is powered by coal and water, but as a drawback it increases his operating costs exponentially. Despite his antiquated power source, he is a considerably strong robot, attacking by charging into opponents at full speed. Mega Man uses this attack as the Charge Kick. He's also able to launch flaming pieces of coal from his smokestack.

Charge Man possesses an one-track mind and is quick to quarrel. He likes telling old, boastful stories, and hates railway signs and other things written in Katakana.

8-Bit
Time Man

**Time Man** is one of the two new Robot Masters from the remake of the original Mega Man from NES to the PSP: Mega Man Powered Up.

Time Man is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light for use in time travel experiments. However, he is only a prototype robot (as mentioned by Dr. Wily), since Dr. Light's time travel theory had not yet been perfected at the time, causing Time Man's functions to not be complete, and he is consumed by a crippling inferiority complex due to this. As a consequence, he takes on an irritable attitude - being overbearing, bossy, somewhat conceited, and is very obsessive over unnecessary perfection. He is completely obsessed with time and his schedules, keeping large track of time (for example, stating Mega Man is 0.3 seconds early when they fight), and because of his strict and domineering personality, he won't put up with any idle or useless activities, taking others to task for their lateness. However, he also doesn't show any appreciation for the timeliness of punctual robots such as Ice Man. As seen on most of his conversations, he additionally tends to not speak much if he thinks it will waste time.

Due to Time Man being a prototype, Wily may have later perfected the design with his own robot, Flash Man. Further evidence can be found in the fact that Time Man can only slow time down with his special weapon, Time Slow, while Flash Man can freeze it completely with his own special weapon.
Top Man

**Top Man** is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily to work on other planets in search for the Energy Elements needed to build Gamma, but he was reprogrammed and used for combat by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 3.

Top Man is equipped with an auto balance system that allows him to spin rapidly much like a top, which he uses as an attack called the Top Spin to injure enemies, and as a defensive mechanism because the high rotational speeds make projectiles deflect off of him. However, he can't spin for too long because he gets dizzy, and maintaining such high speeds could damage his internal components. Top Man also attacks by tossing rapidly spinning tops from his head or shooting tops from his arm cannon.

Top Man is known to be somewhat of a smooth talker, and as such this allows him to make arrangements on Dr. Wily's behalf easier. However, despite this, he has been known to be poor at storytelling and has occasionally been known to push his luck too far. He is fond of physical activities relating to roller skating and has been known to shun people who can't dance.

**Shadow Man** is a mysterious, stealthy, and powerful ninja-themed Robot Master that appeared in Mega Man 3. Little is known about Shadow Man's past, but is rumored to have been a robot created by an extraterrestrial civilization. Further evidence comes from the fact the metal on Shadow Man's body did not match any material found on Earth.[1] Shadow Man's deactivated body was then rediscovered by Dr. Wily, who then remodeled and reprogrammed him for combat. His Special Weapon is the Shadow Blade, a large hira shuriken coated with a deadly substance capable of deranging the function of robotic mechanisms.

Shadow Man, being a ninja, has amazing flexibility, but has been known to be rather impulsive and has a shallow way of thinking. Shadow Man loves sneaking up on others by using his ninja abilities and has come to dislike obvious and boring tricks. He is a skilled martial artist and a master of ninjutsu magic- his abilities include being able to temporarily create duplicates of himself to distract or attack his foes, create smoke screens, and summon frog robots of varying sizes- including a giant frog robot to ride on or smaller ones to check areas for him. Shadow Man can also use the Kawarimi no Jutsu, a ninja technique that replaces the body of the user with an object, usually a piece of log, as defense in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters and Super Adventure Rockman, as well as when he loses a race in Mega Man: Battle & Chase.

**Skull Man** is a Robot Master created specially for combat with balanced offense and defense by Dr. Cossack while he was working for Dr. Wily in Mega Man 4. He attacks with shots from his arm cannon, and can generate a skull-shaped energy shield called the Skull Barrier for protection. Skull Man only moves or attacks when Mega Man does the same; however, he doesn't move if Mega Man only jumps, instead firing his buster. His weakness is the  Dust Crusher, due to how the fragments from the projectile can get easily lodged in his internal mechanisms.

Much like Ring Man before him, Skull Man was made solely for the purpose of fighting. With this in mind, he is a good strategist, and is meticulous in his attention to detail, particularly with planning his combat methods. However, he having only been taught to fight, he lacks skills in other areas and tends to be socially awkward, often alienating others by acting in bad taste. Befitting his morbid theme, Skull Man is also a huge fan of horror movies.

**Ring Man** is a combat Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack specifically to terminate Mega Man in Mega Man 4. His Special Weapon is the Ring Boomerang, a literal ring-shaped boomerang that resembles a chakram. Having high penetration power and speed, and being throwable from almost any angle, it is both a powerful and unpredictable weapon.

Being built especially for fighting, Ring Man is a clever strategist who is confident in his abilities. However, he does not believe in showing mercy to defeated opponents, and tends to be egoistical. He enjoys playing quoits because it suits his ability to throw rings very well, but he dislikes children.

8-Bit
Drill Man

**Drill Man** is a Robot Master originally created by Dr. Cossack to dig in construction sites. When Dr. Wily forced Dr. Cossack to work for him, Drill Man was converted into a combat robot to fight against Mega Man in Mega Man 4, basing himself deep underground, in a mine shaft.

Like Crash Man, Needle Man, Fire Man, and Spark Man, with later ones including Napalm Man, Wave Man, Magma Man, Blade Man, and Commando Man, Drill Man has no hands. Instead, he has two powerful, all purpose drills made for grinding through solid rock and earth, which he incorporates into his attacking strategy- burrowing into the ground to avoid attacks, before leaping up from underground to ambush his foes. His Special Weapon, the Drill Bomb, is a powerful explosive with a built-in drill, launched from his arms to pierce into dense objects or armor, before detonating inside of them to cause the maximum possible damage.

Whilst Drill Man is diligent and a very hard worker, he can be dangerously haphazard at times- he dislikes doing calculations and planning ahead, and tends to rush his jobs whenever he gets bored. Despite often making dangerous mistakes such as damaging nearby gas pipes during his digging operations, he has a talent for finding things hidden underground- having received rewards for digging up hot springs and even a gold mine. His weakness is the Dive Missile, which can trace his heat signature and home in on him even when he's underground.

When Dr. Wily forced Dr. Cossack to fight against Mega Man in Mega Man 4, Toad Man was modified for combat. His Special Weapon, the Rain Flush, is an unavoidable attack based on his original rain-making technology, that can summon deadly acid rain to a wide area.

Befitting his original agricultural purpose, Toad Man is surprisingly skilled in the field of natural science, and like the amphibian he is based on, he also has the ability to jump incredibly high. He enjoys practicing long-jumping and triple-jumping in his spare time, but he is known to be somewhat tone-deaf, and quickly gets uncomfortable when in the company of Snake Man.

**Yamato Man** is a combat Robot Master from Mega Man 6 who was modeled after a samuraiwarrior. Although his armor appears to be heavy, it was made thin and as light as possible to improve his mobility, but at the cost of reducing his defense. Yamato Man's Special Weapon is the Yamato Spear, which he uses to throw armor-piercing spear heads at enemies. However, he has a short supply of ammo, and has to manually pick them up after use so he can throw them again. As a backup means of attack, Yamato Man is a skilled martial artist, and always carries a spear with him for both defensive and close combat purposes.

Although somewhat shy, he has the Japanese spirit, and has great respect for Knight Man due to his valor and honor. He enjoys collecting Japanese swords in his spare time, but dislikes speaking the English language.

Cloud Man

**Cloud Man** is a Robot Master from Mega Man 7 who was originally created as a weather control robot, but was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily, removing his rainfall equipment and enhancing his lightning equipment. Cloud Man has no legs, as he was designed built to hover above the ground using a gravity controller. He can control the weather and create powerful winds to push his opponents, and try to strike them with his Thunder Bolt.

**Crash Man**, known as **Clash Man** in Japan, is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2 that was built by Dr. Wily using the designs of Bomb Man and Guts Man as a base with high speed and agility, the use of high explosives as primary weapons, and clad in a thick armour that can effectively withstand explosions. His Special Weapon is the Crash Bomber, powerful time bombs that attach themselves to their targets before detonating.

Crash Man is an honest, forthright individual who is usually obedient, if somewhat clumsy due to his lack of hands. However, he has a bad tendency to suffer from violent mood swings- he can be docile one moment and fly into uncontrollable rages the next, often going on destructive rampages with his bombs when angered. He enjoys demolishing buildings, but cares very little about recycling.

Frogpaw

Sister: Cricketpaw

## **Appearance**

Frogpaw is a tall, stick-thin she-cat with leaf-green eyes. Her fur is thin and a middle shade of gray. Her paws are small, and her nose is pink. Her left eartip is a bit torn, but otherwise she doesn't have any visible scars.

## **Personality**

Frogpaw is always lost in the clouds. She's flaky and whimsical, and loves to play with kittens because they don't expect much from her. She is a big sweetheart who loves to play in the rain. If you get her excited, she'll talk your ear off. She's very close with her sister Cricketpaw and the two are rarely seen apart.

## **History**

Frogkit was born alongside her sister Cricketkit to a ShadowClan warrior named Willowheart. Willowheart had always been wanderer, and it was assumed by many that another tom fathered her litter, alongside Flamefrost, especially since the two were not close. Frogkit stayed close to her mother, while Cricketkit bonded with Flamefrost. The two sisters stayed close though, and when Frogpaw was apprenticed, she and Cricketpaw pushed their nests together. Flamefrost recently went missing, and Willowheart ran away to become a kittypet. She sometimes comes to visit Cricketpaw and Frogpaw, though her name is now Chai.
Star Man

**Star Man** is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert W. Wily for space exploration and combat, designed with high agility and the ability to fight at optimal efficiency in low-gravity environments. During the events of Mega Man 5, he occupied an abandoned satellite base orbiting Earth, being also allowed to concurrently serve as the supervisor of its remodeling. His Special Weapon, the Star Crash, creates a star-shaped energy barrier around him, allowing him not only to protect himself, but also to attack by throwing it at enemies.

Star Man is an ardent romanticist who enjoys watching opera and musicals, but is also a sentimentalist. He has a tendency to be excessively emotional and make decisions based on feeling rather than reason, and does not get on well with pessimists. He often refers to himself by the nickname of the Splendid Noble Youth, and dreams of someday travelling through space with a love of his own.

**Hard Man** is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily who appeared in Mega Man 3. He has a hard, durable body made of ceratanium, which makes him highly resistant to attacks and grants him remarkable defense. However, it also makes him very heavy, weighing in at about three tons, and affects his movement speed considerably. Due to his weight, he is very lazy and complains quite often.

His Special Weapon is the Hard Knuckle, which allows him to detach his fists and attack from afar with rocket-powered punches, and also has a compact rocket booster built into himself that allows him to jump high into the air. He can utilise his jumping ability in combination with his excessive weight to attack by leaping up and diving down onto his opponents to crush them, or to smash the floor and cause tremors that can stun nearby foes.

Whilst generally known to be a man of few words, Hard Man is a fair-minded individual who prefers to fight his opponents on equal terms, which puts him at odds with the much more pragmatic Snake Man. He enjoys Sumo Wrestling, a sport in which he can put his weight to good use, but dislikes swimming.

**Cut Man** is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light to be a timber-felling robot. Cut Man debuted in the first Mega Man game, where he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world.

His Special Weapon is the Rolling Cutter, an extremely sharp circular pair of scissor-like blades that can be thrown like boomerangs to attack from a distance. They are made of highly resistant "ceramic titanium", allowing them to slice through most materials effectively. Cut Man was designed with a lightweight chassis that grants him fast and agile movement, even in strong rain and wind, as well as the ability to jump against horizontal surfaces to reach great heights.

Cut Man has been known to be highly well-aware of his surroundings and is very cunning. He is also very stubborn and has a tendency to not listen to others. He likes kirie and haircuts, and has been known to be extremely bad at the game rock-paper-scissors.

Centaur Man

**Centaur Man** also known as "Kentauros Man") is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 that originally worked as a tour guide in an old archeology museum, but was later modified for combat. His Special Weapon is the Centaur Flash - a unique system that grants Centaur Man space distortion abilities, allowing him to temporarily halt time. Whilst a powerful weapon, the main drawback is that he has to consume a large amount of energy to use it.

In order to complement his attacking abilities, he is also equipped with the ability to teleport over short distances, and a specially-designed buster on his right arm whose shots spread on impact. He later gains the ability to fire arrow-shaped bursts of energy in multiple directions for an attack known as the Centaur Arrow.

Centaur Man is a uniquely-designed Robot Master in how he walks on four legs rather than the biped designs usually employed by Dr. Wily's other creations, resembling the mythical creature his name references. This design gives him great resilience, speed and agility compared to his colleagues, but he lacks the ability to jump.

Whilst strong-willed and known for being good at making decisions quickly and effectively, he is also something of a deep thinker, and has a tendency to dwell on his past regrets too much. Centaur Man enjoys gambling in his spare time, but perhaps owing to his horse-like design, dislikes whips.

Queen

Queen was a glam rock band most popular in the seventies and eighties. They are one of the most popular bands of all time, with five platinum albums and four gold. They had eight platinum singles and two gold with numerous other hits, even after frontman Freddie Mercury's death of AIDS. *Bohemian Rhapsody* is often considered to be one of the best if not *the* best song of all time despite it not being well-known until its being featured in the nineties comedy film *Wayne's World*. The word "Bismillah" used in the trial sequence means "in the name of God" in Arabic and is the first word in the Qur'an. Mercury was born in Tanzania. At the very end of the song is a very soft gong sound. Queen has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were the first band rather than an individual inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. *Bohemian Rhapsody* was inducted into the Grammy Hall of fame as well as *We Will Rock You* and *We Are the Champions*. Those two songs are popular sports anthems and are often played back-to-back. A film debuted in 2019 about the band. There is also a musical about the band.

## Trivia

* White rapper Vanilla Ice sampled their hit *Under Pressure* without crediting them. This led to a lawsuit which ultimately led to later releases crediting them and David Bowie, who is also featured on the song.
Bright Man

**Bright Man** is a Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack for the purpose of exploring dark areas. However, Dr. Wily modified him in Mega Man 4 to serve as a combat robot to fight against Mega Man. His Special Weapon, the Flash Stopper, emits an intense light beam with ten million watts of power from the light bulb on his head. The strong light activates a safety device in the camera eyes of robots, blinding them for a brief moment, which makes them unable to move. He than proceeds to attack stunned opponents without mercy.[1]

Bright Man is an intelligent Robot Master, being a fast thinker and an accomplished inventor in his spare time, but is a chatterbox and has a tendency to bore his colleagues by talking too much on the same subjects for long periods of time. He has a particular dislike for red-light districts, and is weak to the Rain Flush due to its ability to short out his bulb.

**Guts Man** is a civil engineering Robot Master from the original Mega Man. He was created by Dr. Lightto work alongside Bomb Man for the purpose of land reclamation and construction.

Guts Man possesses great physical strength, being capable of lifting and transporting heavy objects, including rocks of over two tons, with little effort. In battle, he can use his Super Arm to throw heavy objects, such as boulders and blocks, at his enemies. He can also use his strength to hit his enemies with a powerful tackle, and make the ground shake with his jumps.

In terms of his personality, he is similar to that of a typical construction foreman; while he can be hot-tempered, impatient and unreasonable, he is passionate about his line of work, is more intelligent than his appearance and mannerisms would initially suggest (referring to his creator, Dr. Light, as **Pops** as seen in Mega Man Powered Up), and cares deeply for the well-being of his colleagues when on the job and his robotic brothers, acting as some sort of older brother to the latter. He also does have a genuine sense of humor, and seems to know his brothers' behavior very well (as seen in Mega Man Powered Up, where he comments on how his brother Elec Man is still "a self-absorbed weakling"). Guts Man enjoys karaoke, and is good friends with Stone Man, but he also doesn't like to see any arguments from his workers or his brothers, or even get into one, as well as people that often try to interfere with his job schedule.

Guts Man, alongside Cut Man, are the bosses with most appearances in the series. Guts Man and Cut Man also appeared in all episodes of Ruby-Spears' Mega Man animated series, and his GutsMan.EXE counterpart is a major character in the Mega Man Battle Network series. There is also a huge tank with his form in Mega Man 2, Guts Tank, a modified version of him in Mega Man 7, Guts Man G, and other robots that bear a resemblance to his design, like Guts Hover, Gamma, Stone Man, Concrete Man and Gori-Three.

**Needle Man** is a deadly Robot Master from Mega Man 3. He uses his Special Weapon, the rapid-firing Needle Cannon, to pepper his foes with a barrage of needles which are sharp enough to pierce 10 inch-thick stones. Created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily using aspects of Metal Man's combat programming, his initial purpose was to work in energy mines, specializing in land development and breaking through boulders and bedrock.

Despite his large "Air Man-type" build, he is agile and good at jumping thanks to using an upgraded version of Metal Man's combat programming -- even being able to remain stationary in the air to attack for brief moments of time by raining shots on his opponents from above. To accompany his ranged attacking capabilities, the thick spikes on his head are needle-sharp, and mounted on a heavy base attached to his head with an extendable chain.[1] This impromptu weapon can be fired over short distances with huge power, making him very dangerous to try and fight up close.

Needle Man is intellectual and generally liked for his fighting capabilities, but he has a dry wit and often tends to be sarcastic. He enjoys sewing and knitting, hobbies that both utilize needles, but is terrified of injections and other medical procedures that ironically involves needles.
