Background

Cold Man (コールドマン Kōrudoman) is an ice-themed Robot Master appearing in Mega Man & Bass. Cold Man was originally a refrigerator used to preserve prehistoric D.N.A. from dinosaurs at absolute zero in Dr. Light's laboratory before being modified into a guard robot by King.

Cold Man attacks by using spiked Ice Walls that he creates by opening the freezer in his body. He can also cause areas to freeze from a distance. He releases Mokumokumo enemies from his head to slow the player's movement and get in the way. Cold Man is one of the first three selectable bosses in the game. Defeating Cold Man allows the player to select Burner Man and Pirate Man.

Cold Man has a carefree attitude, but he is slow-witted. He enjoys shaved ice, while he dislikes the El Niño effect, as it tends to make the weather warmer than usual.

Powers and Techniques



Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Can create blocks of ice from his freezer to attack his opponents with. It is noted that his internal freezer is at absolute zero on his CD data base. Cold Man can also freeze the ground to immobolize opponents), Creation (Can create Mokumokumos from his freezer), Power Nullification and Velocity Manipulation (Can negate Mega Man from using any form of attack and has his movement greatly reduced when touched by Mokumokumos).



Resistance to Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Is completely immune to his own absolute zero attacks and even heals from them)

Equipment

None Notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Ice Wall (アイスウォール Aisu Wōru): Ice Wall is Cold Man's Special Weapon that creates a block of ice from his freezer that he can push at high speeds at his opponents. It also bounces of walls to make it trickier to dodge and put more pressure while cornering opponents.
  • Mokumokumos: Cold Man creates Mokumokumos to greatly reduce his opponents mobility and render them unable to attack as he continues to attack with Ice Wall.

Other

Standard Tactics: Cold Man's primary means of attack is creating his Ice Wall, a spiked, rectangular block of ice, and pushing it toward his opponents. The block will bounce off of the wall and be destroyed as it slams into the other wall. After this attack, Cold Man will jump toward his opponent to corner them more and continue attacking. After a certain amount of damage, Cold Man will start creating Mokumokumos right before his attack. These enemies will float toward his opponent, and will render them with extremely little mobility and no longer able to attack. Ice Man can also freeze up the ground from a distance to freeze you in place to follow up with an Ice Wall.

Weaknesses: Weak to Dynamo Man's Lightning Bolt. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

  2. PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
    Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”.
    “GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace.
    Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”…
    –However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!!
  3. Q. What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?
    A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all.
  4. Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
    A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.
  5. Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
  6. Q. Do robots like those made by Dr. Wily or Dr. Cossack have self-awareness, and can they talk? And do they run on solar energy like Rockman does?
    A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? Naturally, they each have a “consciousness”, although the level of every “cognitive circuit” embedded inside each one of them varies, producing as many different “personality” types as found in people… Just like you or I, they can speak, and have emotional responses like shyness, or anger, just as we do.
    Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.

  48. By swapping out the program data of all the robots Dr. Wily has constructed, this robot is able to adapt other robots’ moves as its own. With the powers of all robots combined into one, this is truly one dreadful robot.
  49. This all-purpose robot can take on the same abilities of every other robot merely by switching its program data. Still, if it just copies the powers of robots that Rockman has already been able to defeat, one might expect for Rockman to overcome them again…
