### Quote

"I'll drop you like a ton of bricks!"

**Block Man** (ブロックマン Burokkuman) is a Robot Master that first appeared in *Mega Man 11*. He's one of the main characters of "The Gear Powers" and Butterflette's love interest. He is a small, stout robot created to work on exterior constructions, being able to create blocks one after another. His regular appearance resembles a stone castle. He uses his Special Weapon, Block Dropper, to form blocks out of thin air above his opponents to try and crush them. He also can transform into a gigantic robot, increasing his physical strength.

Block Man represents the **Element of Trust**.

## Appearance

Block Man is a rotund, turquoise robot with gold and white accents and dull, grey bricks covering his body. The lower half of his body juts out a bit, perhaps serving as a storage compartment for extra building materials.

## Personality

Block Man is always full of energy, although he has a temper and gets easily angry. He is vain, headstrong, thick as a brick, and has "an ego the size of a pyramid". He secretly dreams of building a vast structure that recreates the bygone age of pyramids and temples. He often works with Impact Man, and the two are sometimes seen at an oil bar to share a drink. Block Man will not take kindly to strangers mocking him in any harsh manner, especially those who laugh at him or judge him for his size. He always have his fellow employee robots keep up with major construction projects. However, his temper tends to flare up if any of the worker bots are slacking off and not working hard enough. Also, he is very bossy with others (even with Gear Powers) and will not take "no" for an answer. He also becomes defensive if he feels that his brothers and friends are being insulted in any way, since he feels they deserve love, respect and kindness.

Despite his violent tendencies, Block Man has a big heart of gold and always gives a hand to people. Nothing scares him, not even Marysalis Shimmer or the presence of creepy spiritual beings (ghosts, devils, etc.). In fact, his only fear is to lose his brothers and loved ones. He has a strong crush on Butterflette and is very protective of her. Block Man especially gets angry if people insult and hurt her, and he'll gladly beat the crap of them with his giant form, Block Golem.

## Weaknesses

* **Chain Blast** - Since Block Man's body is made primarily of stone, the explosions from Blast Man's weapon can be especially damaging to him.
* He has a tendency not to listen to others, especially those who give good advice.
* His temper tends to make the best of him when things don't go his way.
* He is allergic to strawberries.
* Bounce Man's hyperactivity, follies and pranks/jokes never leave him alone, fueling his anger even more.
* He is sometimes overconfident.

## Relationships

* **Pharaoh Man**: They both get along very well and have mutual respect for each other, even if Pharaoh Man doesn't tolerate Block Man's tantrums and temper, but usually calms him down with patience. Being very obedient, kind and respectful to him, Block Man admires him for his wisdom and great sense of leadership and will do anything to help him during his missions/adventures.
* **Butterflette**: Butterflette is deeply in love with Block Man and considers him as the most beautiful and greatest treasure she has ever found. Block Man does his best not to unleash his temper on her, and if his temper ever comes out, he quickly apologizes, but Butterflette always forgives him and calms him with a kiss. She never makes fun of his short stature, because she knows he's capable of doing great things. Block Man is very protective of her and is always ready to defend her when others insult her or try to hurt her. He also supports her often so that she doesn't give up and keep fighting for what she loves, especially when it comes to protecting Mother Nature. Butterflette loves to kiss him, especially when he is sad or angry, she always makes him blush.
* **Schrodinger**: Block Man loves and cares for his pet cat Schrodinger and always makes sure that she has what she needs every time they get ready to go on a mission, adventure or also travel anywhere. Schrodinger is certainly very loyal to her owner and is always by his side even when Block Man is lost.
* **Fuse Man**: They are very good brothers, although Block Man sometimes gets mad at Fuse Man for being shy or hiding his emotions/feelings towards him and the other Gear Powers, but still strongly respects him as a good co-leader and supports him if necessary.
* **Blast Man**: The two have a great brotherly relationship and often spend time together performing various artistic activities whether it's stone sculptures and towers or pyrotechnic explosions. However, Block Man sometimes gets upset with Blast Man because of his volatile nature or when he boasts his abilities and talents too much. Still, they know how to do good teamwork when it comes to defending the world.
* **Acid Man**: They get along well, but Acid Man doesn't have much tolerance for Block Man as his outbursts of anger deprive him of concentration for doing experiments etc. Even Block Man tries to help him but often causes disasters due to his temper and Acid Man is enraged. But they both still care each other.
* **Tundra Man**: Although the two have totally different tastes, they have a very catchy friendship. Tundra Man sometimes gives and teaches Block Man ice skating classes, which he is surprisingly good at it. However, Block Man doesn't like it when he and Blast Man show off their abilities too much and their fame for talents goes to their heads.
* **Torch Man**: Block Man is impressed by Torch Man's martial arts skills while treating and respecting him as an older brother. For that reason, Block defends him precisely so that toxic people don't mess with him. Torch Man sometimes invites him to go camping and Block Man uses his compartment like an oven.
* **Impact Man**: They are super close brothers. The two often go to an oil bar to share a drink after a long day at work, and especially sing together during their adventures. Block Man also has a strong relationship with the Impact Brothers and knows how to do good teamwork with them by leading and guiding them.
* **Bounce Man**: During the first three seasons, Block Man is the character with the least patience and tolerance towards Bounce Man, which he considers a bit of a nuisance for being too hyperactive, and he always gets mad when he causes disaster or talks a lot. Despite that, Bounce Man still loves him no matter what, he watches over him so no one messes with him and usually tries to calm him down with his hugs, but Block Man usually stays away from him. In the episode "*Gift of Heart*", they both made amends after a few years of hatred and resentment because Bounce Man accidentally broke Block Man's giant statue, not to mention that it was the toughest construction time Block has ever had.
* **Stone Man**: Block Man has a sweet and catchy friendship with Stone Man and they treat each other like brothers since they both share very similar characteristics.
