Mega Man

**Mega Man** is a robot created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily to assist them in studying robotics. However, after Wily stole Light's robots out of jealousy, Mega Man became a combat robot, constantly fighting against Wily.

## Appearance

Mega Man is a short, humanoid robot. He wears blue armor. This armor has two shades of blue, those being dark blue, which is used on his hands, feet, and helmet, and light blue, which is used on his torso, arms, and legs. His helmet has a blue square on the front of it, along with a blue line that travels across the top of it.

## Personality

Mega Man is shown to be kind and heroic, offering to become a combat robot in order to protect others and wishing to help Light in his goal to make humans and robots coexist. In addition, he is shown to have less arrogance than his rival, Bass, viewing the latter's goal to become the strongest robot as meaningless.

## History

Mega Man was created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily as an assistant robot in order to aid them in advancing robotics. However, Wily became jealous of Light and stole most of his other robots to take over the world. Mega Man decided to become a combat robot, which Light agreed to. Mega Man defeated Wily, who kept returning with new plans to take over the world.

Eventually, Mega Man found out about one of Wily's new plans to take over the world and set off to stop him. However, as he did so, he began questioning if Wily is merely stalling for time, noting that Wily's army is much weaker than normal. He began thinking this even more as he travelled through Wily Castle, noting that its defenses were far worse than they usually were.

Mega Man ran into Bass on his way through Wily Castle, who still wanted to prove himself the strongest robot, and was working with Wily despite not knowing what he was doing in order to fight Mega Man. The two began fighting as Mega Man travelled through Wily Castle, before they conveniently stumbled upon Wily and his latest creation, Zero.

Wily explained that Zero was made to defeat both Mega Man and Bass in order to prove he can make useful robots. Bass attempted to kill Wily, only to be stopped by Mega Man as the two argued, giving Wily enough time to activate Zero, but Zero had a programming error that made him wish to destroy the world instead of take over it. He then killed Wily. Mega Man and Bass quickly realized they needed to stop Zero, and fought him.

Despite their efforts, Mega Man and Bass were too weak, with the latter getting killed. Mega Man called in Rush, Beat, and Eddie, before fusing into Hyper Mega Man and firing everything he had at Zero, who managed to survive it. He then made a last stand by activating his Double Gear.

He baited Zero into his line of fire, charged his Mega Buster, and fired his Final Charge Shot, sending Zero flying all the way to Mars. However, while doing so, he used up all of his solar energy. He wished for Light to create a world where humans and robots were at peace, before dying.

At some point, either before or after his death, the government had designed a group of robots based on him known as the Good Guy Dudes.

## Skills

### Durability

Mega Man is rather durable, wearing an armor made from Ceratanium. This armor has been shown to protect him from Zero's Z-Saber strikes, his own Mega Buster shots, and even hitting himself with his Astro Crush, which blew apart a chunk of one of Wily Castle's towers.

### Mega Buster

The **Mega Buster** is Mega Man's signature weapon. It is a dark blue arm cannon, similar to Mega Man's hands. It can be retracted into Mega Man's arm in order to replace it with a regular hand, and appear on either of Mega Man's arms. The Mega Buster also has a yellow line across it, although this is for unknown reasons.

The Mega Buster fires small, yellow blasts of solar energy. In addition, it is capable of charging itself up with solar energy to fire more powerful shots.

1/3
When briefly charged, it becomes the **New Mega Buster** and fires a small, white blast of solar energy. When charged further, it becomes the **Super Mega Buster** and fires a thin, green blast of solar energy. When fully charged, it becomes the **Hyper Mega Buster** and fires a massive, orange blast of solar energy. What makes this the most notable of the Mega Buster's charge levels is that it puts a strain on Mega Man, causing sparks to emerge from his body.

The Mega Buster also has two additional forms of charged shots, those being the **Arrow Shot**, which fires a yellow energy blast that splits into five smaller energy blasts upon hitting something, and the **Laser Shot**, which fires a blue beam that pierces enemies.

While it is never confirmed if it draws this energy from Mega Man's supply, given that Mega Man has been shown to put a strain on his when firing, most notably when using the Hyper Mega Buster, this is likely.

Mega Man has shown that he is capable of aiming and firing with the Mega Buster, using it to fight against Bass and Zero.

### Variable Weapon System

The **Variable Weapon System** is a learning system that allows Mega Man user to copy the abilities of robots he defeated in order to obtain their weapons. These weapons are, in some way, based on what their users originally did with them. These new weapons are called **Special Weapons**. Each special weapon has a limited amount of energy, however.

### Double Gear System

The **Double Gear System** is a device that Dr. Light installed within Mega Man's body. It is a gray rectangular prism with a pair of gears, one red and one blue. There is a white circle in the middle.

The Double Gear System's gears can be activated to grant Mega Man two different boosts, each one depending on which gear he activates. However, extensive usage of either gear causes the Double Gear System to overheat, leaving it unusable for a short amount of time.

1/3
The first of these boosts is the **Power Gear**, causing Mega Man to glow red. This increases the power of his Mega Buster, allowing him to fire two Super Mega Buster shots in quick succession, one blue and one red. Additionally, when Mega Man is in critical condition, he can fire a much larger, purple shot known as the **Final Charge Shot**, which was powerful enough to send Zero flying all the way to Mars, although Mega Man did end up dying shortly after due to using up too much energy. The second boost is the **Speed Gear**, causing Mega Man to glow blue. This increases his speed. When Mega Man is in critical condition, he can activate the **Double Gear**, causing himself to glow yellow and combining the effects of the Power Gear and the Speed Gear.

### Misc.

*Main articles: Super Mega Man and Hyper Mega Man*
Mega Man can teleport, which he uses to travel to and from locations. Additionally, he can fuse with Rush to become Super Mega Man, or fuse with Rush, Beat, and Eddie to become Hyper Mega Man.

## Trivia

* Bulborb channel 3 was originally going to have Mega Man shoot Zero to the Moon, but he forgot this while writing and decided not to correct it.
* Mega Man and Mega Man X were originally supposed to be the same person. Had this happened, Mega Man would have survived his battle against Zero, before being upgraded into Mega Man X by Dr. Light to stand a better chance against Zero.
* The Mega Buster's charge levels are based on a semi charged shot form Mega Man 6, a fully charged shot from Mega Man 4, and a fully charged shot from Mega Man 5, respectively.
* Mega Man was supposed to have access to Gyro Attack from Mega Man 5 and Freeze Cracker from Mega Man 7, but Bulborb channel 3 overlooked this and ended up writing Super X without giving them to Mega Man.
* Unlike his canon counterpart, Mega Man doesn't change his armor's color when he uses Special Weapons.
