His Special Weapon Flash Stopper

**Bright Man** (ブライトマン Buraitoman) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack for the purpose of exploring dark areas, making his debut in **Mega Man 4**. However, Dr. Wily modified him 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 then proceeds to attack stunned opponents without mercy.

He is weak to the Rain Flush due to its ability to short out his bulb.

## Personality

Bright Man has a high IQ and one of his most defining traits is his love and knowledge of mechanics, which is very talented when it comes to machine building. He usually spends most of his time in his room, wasting his time working on a new invention, or reading books. Still, he has a bad tendency to talk too much about the same topic for an extended period of time, a fact that tends to upset others frequently. Being a robot that uses electric light, he has a disdain for red areas, as he feels they are unmoral. It is hinted that there is another reason for his special dislike, although not even his siblings would be quite sure of it.

Bright Man is shown to be very caring and kind to others. However, he does not like openly show off his abilities due to his reserved and shy nature, preferring to keep a low profile. Unlike his brother Ring Man, Bright is very merciful to all his friends and enemies, which means that it is never too late for him to apologize for the huge mistakes he makes. However, he is also often depicted as being insecure and lacking in self-confidence and courage, as he sometimes thinks that he is not as strong and competent as his siblings which leads him to easily get down. He also doesn't know how to express himself, therefore, he does not want to start discussions. His lack of courage also has to do with the fact that he strongly believes in non-violent problem solving as he believes in the ideal of achieving peace between humans and robots, an attitude that tends to separate him from his brothers who will not hesitate to fight if necessary (because of this, he particularly hated when he was forced to fight Mega Man during the events of MMIV). His pacifistic attitude put him in conflict with others that he may consider him a coward at times, when in fact he feels very insecure of himself.

Despite this apparent cowardice during extreme situations, Bright will always try to do his best to help his friends in other ways that they are not always fighting, and will allow himself to be used to his full potential, only if absolutely necessary or if his friends are in grave mortal threat. Initially shy when meeting others, he may slowly open up to them once he gets to know people better and become more sociable, although he still remains shy from time to time.

Bright is a bit sensitive when it comes to his weight, and despite having great patience, he can easily become annoyed when teased about his apparent fatness, hinting that he was probably bullied by other robots in the past because of it.

In later seasons, he manages to overcome his shyness by revealing his independent personality, making him stronger, freer, and braver, who at the same time doesn't care about his ties anymore.
