Background
Copy Robot, also known as Evil Mega Man, is a boss character from the original Mega Man series. He is a copy of the player's character created by a 3D copy system inside Dr. Wily's robot plant, being an identical copy with almost the same performance as the original, but with a different personality. The copy can also be told apart by his red eyes.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Copy Robot’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Mega Man
Copy Robot is a copy of Mega Man that always uses the same Special Weapon the player is equipped with. If Mega Man is using the Magnet Beam or Super Arm, Copy Robot will simply run back and forth, and jump forward or backward when the attack button is pressed. None of the Special Weapons other than Fire Storm, Hyper Bomb, and Thunder Beam do extra damage.
Copy Robot's movement is the same as Elec Man's, moving back and forth while occasionally attacking, and jumping when the attack button is pressed in order to avoid the attack. Like Elec Man, it is also possible to lock Copy Robot in a pattern by attacking him with the correct timing, but this is more difficult with Copy Robot due to him having different graphics and weapons, not rising his arms before attacking.
Mega Man Powered Up
Copy Robot will be a copy of whoever appears in his room, but he has a glowing-blueish tinge to his color, as do the Robot Masters encountered before him, suggesting that they also are copies. When copying Roll, the copy will always have the default Roll costume regardless of the player's costume. Copy Robot is shown during dialogues to be cocky and sarcastic, referring to most of the Robot Masters by nicknames, the only exception being Oil Man. He has a slight personality tweak at times depending on who he is copying; as Guts Man, he claims nothing is better than brute strength, while as Ice Man, he wants a "chilling silence". In addition, his sarcasm and transformations can also severely backfire on him and cause his enemy to want to recruit him if they win, as evidenced by Guts Man and Ice Man's replies to him, to his shock. Based on the encounter as Mega, it also shows that Copy Robot doesn't like it if he copies seemingly weak robots.

However, Via says The Player's story isnt over and RiCO repeats this and says that there will be future program errors in the Deep Log for them to correct and it would be insecure for her alone to manage it alone. Therefore to solve this problem that can happen in the future, RiCO will summon The Player in order to correct any irregular data in the Deep Log as she did in the start of the game), Supernatural Resilience (Robot Masters can survive wounds such as being cut in half, with ones such as Proto Man calling it merely "just a scratch", being able to come back just fine after teleporting away to be repaired), Immortality (Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; All robots "true existences" exist in their data, thus as long as their data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED".

*Helmet & Visor: Wishing to hide the fact that this was a remodeled robot of Dr. Right’s, Dr. Wily crafted these.
- Proto Buster: Although comparable to the Mega Man Buster in ability, the tremendous energy consumption makes it unusable for long periods of combat. Also, without some transformation mechanism like the Rock Buster’s, it’s unable to change freely into the form of an arm.
- Proto Shield: Because his body was not originally designed for combat, he suffers from weak stamina which the shield helps to compensate for.
- Power Reactor: Initially Dr. Right had utilized his specialty, a type of solar energy based system. It was exchanged by Dr. Wily with a purely Wily designed atomic power system. This causes him some trouble when it comes to performing at his peak ability, as he is only able to battle at full power for a short time.

*Copy: Copy Robot will be a copy of whoever appears in his vicinity, he has a slight personality tweak at times depending on who he is copying; as Guts Man, he claims nothing is better than brute strength, while as Ice Man, he wants a "chilling silence".
- Holograph Mega Mans: Each copy appears from a teleporter in the center of a platform and starting walking back and forth on the platform it's on, occasionally shooting. After a while the three will switch positions in the center. Only the true Copy Robot can be damaged—shots pass through the other two.
*Jump: Jump is a common action that allows characters reach higher places.
- Move: Move is the most basic of the commands. It allows the player to navigate the character through the gameplay environment by walking, running, etc. Some items and moves, like Speedster and Dash, improves the mobility of the character.
- Mega Buster: Mega Buster, known as the Rock Buster in Japan, is a powerful arm cannon that is utilized by those named Mega Man in the eponymous franchise. While varying in function, the Mega Buster is most well known for shooting yellow shots of energy and possessing the ability to be charged to fire a Charge Shot.
- Buster Shot: Shot is the basic attack of Mega Man. Initially, Mega Man could shoot only three bullets at a time from his Mega Buster and the bullets could pass through walls, but he had different abilities depending on the games and parts equipped. Examples include a limit of 2-5 bullets on screen, shots that can't pass through walls, bigger shots to increase the chance to hit targets, the ability to charge the shot, rapid fire, limited energy, and other variations.
- Charge Shot: A Charge Shot is performed by holding the Shot button to charge energy and cause more damage to enemies, with the added advantage of plowing through enemies who succumb to its power.
- Mega Upper: Mega Man's special attack, a powerful uppercut.
- Slide: Sliding, also known as slide, is a move from the original Mega Man series that Mega Man can use since Mega Man 3. The Game Boy installments implement sliding starting in Mega Man II. Slide allows the user to evade enemy projectiles, avoid some traps and access narrow passageways. It can also be used to move faster.
- Swim: Swim allows the character to move freely in the water. Mega Man can swim in Mega Man 8.
*Rolling Cutter: Rolling Cutter is Cut Man's Special Weapon, a versatile cutter made of ceratanium that can cut anything in half. It has the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of the user in a teardrop-shaped pattern, before returning to the person that used it.
- Super Arm: Super Arm is Guts Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It is a special equipment that allows the user to lift and throw heavy rocks. Its power cannot be adjusted, so the user should avoid certain actions (like shaking hands) with it equipped.
- Ice Slasher: Ice Slasher is Ice Man's Special Weapon. It takes the form of an arrowhead-shaped blade of ice that can freeze enemies with a temperature of 200 degrees below zero.
- Hyper Bomb: Hyper Bomb is Bomb Man's Special Weapon. When Mega Man uses this weapon, he throws bombs in a small arc (so it takes some practice to get used to throwing them). There's a small time delay between when a bomb is thrown and when it explodes, but it has a decent-sized explosion that damages or destroys anything within the blast. Hyper Bombs will bounce three times when fired in the air; otherwise, they will bounce twice.
- Thunder Beam: Thunder Beam is Elec Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. When used by Mega Man or other characters, three high power electric energy beams are shot in different directions, one forward, one straight up, and one straight down. It also has the ability to go through enemies and hit multiple times, making it a powerful weapon.
- Gemini Laser: Gemini Laser is Gemini Man's Special Weapon. It was based on the "reaction element" discovered by Dr. Light. The Gemini Laser shoots a blue energy beam that reacts to the opponent's thoughts, and it reflects when it hits substances that do not have thoughts, like walls.
- Search Snake: Search Snake is Snake Man's Special Weapon. It uses an improved version of Bubble Lead's search program and releases snake-like missiles that crawl across floors and up and down walls (but not across ceilings). Up to three snakes can be onscreen at the same time.
- Spark Shock: Spark Shock is Spark Man's Special Weapon. Its system generates an energy ball that can short-circuit electronic components, temporarily paralyzing enemies. However, it is not effective against robots with insulated coating. As such, a few enemies, like Magnet Man, can be damaged by this weapon.
- Shadow Blade: Shadow Blade is Shadow Man's Special Weapon in the original Mega Man series. It is a large hira shuriken that can be thrown to attack. When used by Shadow Man, the shuriken is coated with a special, deadly liquid that is capable of deranging the functions of mechanisms. He usually throws two Shadow Blades at a time: one diagonally up and the other in front of him.
- Needle Cannon: Needle Cannon is Needle Man's special weapon. It is a rapid fire weapon that fires needles that slightly alternate heights. The player can hold the button to use rapid fire. Up to three needles can be used at the same time.
- Magnet Missile: Magnet Missile is Magnet Man's Special Weapon, a magnet-shaped missile that tracks its target with a magnetic force. In most games, Magnet Man first jumps in the air, then fires three Magnet Missiles that travel horizontally until it is parallel to the target, and then travels vertically toward the opponent. When equipped by Mega Man, these Magnet Missiles function the same as that from Magnet Man, however he can only have two Magnet Missiles on the screen at a time. If a Magnet Missile hits an enemy during its horizontal track, it will just explode without vertically tracking anything.
- Hard Knuckle: Hard Knuckle is Hard Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. When utilized, there is a short delay before the knuckle starts moving forward. It is somewhat slow, but has great strength. Mega Man can slightly guide the knuckle up or down once it is moving. Hard Knuckle can also be used to break through destructible blocks in Mega Man 3 and Mega Man: The Wily Wars.

- Jump: Jump is a common action that allows characters reach higher places.

Other
Standard Tactics: Copy Robot will copy the target and use all of their abilities to a greater extent to them. They will also spawn two holographs of themself to trick the opponent.
Weaknesses: He is weak to Bomb Man's hyper bomb, Fire Man's fire storm, and Elec Man's thunder beam. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Note: Robot Masters/Reploids should scale to their teleportation as they have to react to the landing in order to land properly or do certain things like Cut Man did here. Otherwise, they will clumsily fall like Roll does here due to her clumsiness as she was not naturally prepared for adventures like Mega Man, and surprised Dr. Light and Dr. Wily with her natural power as well as Pallette keeping her balance here.
Trivia
- Although not Copy Robot himself, one of the boss submissions for Mega Man 6, Clone Man, strongly resembled Mega Man, hence the name.
- Though Copy Robot didn't appear in Captain N: The Game Master, the episode "In Search of the King" did feature an evil Mega Man in the form of his counterpart from the Mirror Zone.
- Despite his prominent appearance in the early issues of Worlds Collide, Copy Robot doesn't appear as part of the Robot Master army in Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 250.
- When fighting Copy Robot in the boss battle Challenges in Mega Man Powered Up, the player will always fight the Mega Man form of Copy Robot regardless of what character they are using.
- Both Copy Robot and Mega Man? have access to the Charge Shot in Mega Man Powered Up (with the latter also having access to the Slide) despite that these abilities were not created yet due to being a remake of the first game.
- Copy Robot is weak to Search Snake, but as he lacks invicibility frames when damaged in Mega Man 3, Top Spin can destroy him in one hit.
- The Copy Robot will always start on the uppermost platform. If the player is fast enough, they can reach and use the Top Spin on him before he changes places even once.
- There is a way to tell which Copy Robot is the true one. The fake ones will just appear from thin air while the real one has the same teleport effect as Mega Man.
- There is a glitch to defeat Copy Robot incredible fast. If the player shot with a normal projectile and pause right when it is about to hit, then Mega Man can change to Top Spin, unpause, and the projectile will instantly defeat Copy Robot.Mega Man 3 doesn't allow pause while a projectile is onscreen.
- In Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Copy Robot's starting position is randomized, and all three have the same teleport effect. Top Spin no longer defeats Copy Robot in one hit due to invincibility frames.
