Background

Cut Man (カットマン Kattoman) is a Robot Master who was created by Dr. Light to be a timber-felling robot. Cut Man debuted in the first Mega Man game, where he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world.

His Special Weapon is the Rolling Cutter, an extremely sharp circular pair of scissor-like blades that can be thrown like boomerangs to attack from a distance. They are made of highly resistant "ceramic titanium", allowing them to slice through most materials effectively. His body was designed with a lightweight chassis that grants him fast and agile movement, even in strong rain and wind, as well as the ability to jump against horizontal surfaces to reach great heights. Metal Man would eventually be built via Cut Man's design.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Cut Man’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Physical appearance

Cut Man is a slightly short slender robot with a spherical scarlet red head with blue eyes, silver eyelids and handlebars on the sides of his head resembling ears, holding his cutter on the top of his head attached to a base that uses to remove and put. He also sports a white suit with gloves, a pelvic plate and boots matching his head.

Personality

Cut Man has been known to be highly well-aware of his surroundings and is very cunning. He is also very stubborn and has a bad tendency to not listen to others. He likes papercutting and haircuts, and has been known to be extremely bad at the game rock-paper-scissors.

Video game appearances

Cut Man is one of the main bosses in the games Mega Man, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, as well as the games' remakes and collections such as Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Rockman Battle & Fighters. He is a playable character in Mega Man's Soccer and Mega Man Powered Up. In most of his appearances, Cut Man attacks by throwing the cutter on his head while running and jumping around the room.

Mega Man

Dr. Wily reprogrammed Cut Man and Dr. Light's other industrial robots to help him conquer the world. Cut Man appears as a boss that Mega Man must battle, so Mega Man defeats him and obtains his Rolling Cutter. He is weak to Guts Man's Super Arm. It is best to hit him with the slabs of brick while he's in the air. Since it is hard to hit him with the bricks, use the Mega Buster or Fire Man's Fire Storm.

Strategy

Cut Man will walk towards Mega Man and try to jump on him if he is on top of the blocks that Super Arm can throw. If Cut Man is hit, he will throw his Rolling Cutter. Sometimes he throws Rolling Cutter without needing to get hit. Remember that the Rolling Cutter can fly back to Cut Man and he can still walk around after throwing it. He can also throw the Rolling Cutter in mid-air.

Mega Man Powered Up

In Mega Man Powered Up, Cut Man has the personality of a kind-hearted, yet naïve child, seen showing reluctance to fight and instead trying to convince his brothers to come back with him through words. He is also seen as quite gullible, one major example being that he could not see that Mega Man? was a fake (although the doppelganger later admitted it himself, saying "You're not the sharpest pair in the drawer, huh?"). Cut Man is found to be somewhat formal as he addresses other robots as "Mr." or "Ms." (either this or it shows that his A.I. age is younger). Similarly, the reason why he fought Mega Man in the main game is because he was led to believe by Wily that Mega Man had indeed turned to evil.

As a boss, Cut Man fights in a similar way to the first game though he does not repeatedly jump in quick succession when he's near the player aside from Old Style. Cut Man also can no longer be knocked back by any attack in Normal and Hard modes like any other boss (aside from hitting Cut Man with his weaknesses in Normal mode, ie. Super Arm, Charge Shots or Proto Strike) He also has an additional attack in Normal and Hard modes where his Rolling Cutter grows to cover a wider area while being able to destroy Guts Blocks. This new attack is only used when he loses half of his health in Normal mode while it can be used anytime in Hard mode. In Hard mode, the cutter moves faster and he will also use the attack twice in succession.

In Hard mode, Cut Man will sometimes jump directly to the player if they prompt an attack and will not give the player a warning when he uses his regular Rolling Cutter. If Mega Man defeats Cut Man using only the Mega Buster, he becomes available as a playable character.

As a playable character, Cut Man can have up to two Rolling Cutters on-screen at any time, and he has the additional ability to wall-jump against any vertical surface (except ice, which causes him to slip), in order to reach high places. Cut Man also has many of his challenges based upon his wall-jumping ability, where he must use said wall-jumps to get to higher places or avoid obstacles.

Mega Man 7

Cut Man makes a cameo appearance during the intro of Mega Man 7. He appears in a comic-segment from the newspaper article depicting Wily's arrest that was shown, along with his own logo, "Cutman 2" that is reminiscent of the Megaman logo.

Mega Man 8

In the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8, Cut Man is a hidden boss in the Middle Stage. Winning grants Mega Man a Bolt, and he is never fought again. As well as taking more damage from the Mega Buster than most other Robot Masters in the game (except Tengu Man), he is weak to the Mega Ball, Flame Sword]], Thunder Claw, Ice Wave and Water Balloon.

Various Cut Man toys can also be seen in the first part of Clown Man's stage in Mega Man 8.

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge

Cut Man is one of the four bosses available in the beginning of the game. He fights in a similar way from his first appearance in Mega Man.

Mega Man: The Power Battle

Cut Man is one of the six bosses from the "Mega Man 1~2' course. He fights in the same way from previous games, running and jumping around the room while attacking with his Rolling Cutter.

Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters

Template:Q Cut Man is one of the six bosses from the "Rescue Roll!" course. Cut Man fights in a similar way he did in Mega Man: The Power Battle, but his Rolling Cutter will stop in the air for a brief moment and change its direction. He will also rarely throw a bigger Rolling Cutter. He is weak to Slash Man's Slash Claw. If the player has the Slash Claw, they can get Cut Man stuck in an infinite loop, in which he'll be stuck in the corner and they can use the Slash Claw every time he gets up until he's defeated. This can make quick work of Cut Man.

After losing half of his energy (if he isn't one of the first bosses fought, depending of the difficult setting), Cut Man will throw the bigger Rolling Cutter often, and the normal-sized cutter will be rarely used. Cut Man will also start hiding inside a gap cut in the stage with a cutter, and four other gaps will appear, Cut Man appearing from one of them to do one of the following:

  • Make a grimace.
  • Throw a Rolling Cutter in an arc.
  • Summon eight Tsuranattoris divided in two groups.
  • Throw two bouncing pumpkins.
  • Throw two bouncing Akuma-like objects.
  • Release two energy projectiles diagonally.
  • Throw three Mobi-chan like objects.
  • Yashichi.

Mega Man's Soccer

Cut Man is a player with the seventh (draw with Fire Man) fastest run speed and the fourth strongest tackle, but his defense is low. His special kick, Rolling Cutter Shot, cuts the target into pieces.

Cut Man is one of the eight bosses in the Capcom Championship mode, where Mega Man must defeat a team of eight Cut Men. After defeating the team, one Cut Man joins Mega Man's team. In Tournament mode, Cut Man's team is formed by 3 Cut Men, Ice Man, Bubble Man, Flash Man, Snake Man, and Toad Man. In League mode his team has 3 Cut Men, 2 Ice Men, 2 Bubble Men, and Enker.

Super Adventure Rockman

In Super Adventure Rockman, Cut Man and the other Robot Masters from the first game assist Mega Man. If the player loses to Metal Man, Flash Man or Top Man, Cut Man will appear to save Mega Man and the player will have the choice to fight against the boss again or quit.

Chokkan! Rockman

In Cut Man's mini-game, Geigeki! Comet Cutter, Cut Man must use the Rolling Cutter to intercept comets before they land.

Due to being amplified by Optic Sunflower making the cyber programs and data go haywire, Cut Man can fight and take hits from Mega Man X, Zero, & Axl, who fought and defeated Optic Sunflower who used the data of the Final Weapon to perform his Earth Crush attack. Zero after gaining Optic Sunflower's weapon data can also use this attack with his Tenshouha technique. The Final Weapon was stated to be able to destroy the Earth and was going to be used by Sigma to do so. The data of things in Mega Man are portrayed as equal to their real world counterparts as shown consistently throughout the series multiple[2] times[3]. Optic Sunflower is also stated and shown to have control over data within cyberspace, being the root cause of the programs going haywire upon becoming Maverick.

This is shown to exist in verse as there are chips that amplify this ability such as Double Barrier and Extend), Absorption (Robot Masters[36][37][38] are built in with[39] usages of solar energy to charge their bodies and use their weapons essentially limitlessly[40]), Teleportation (Pseudo), Transformation, Light Manipulation, Intangibility (Phasing/Elemental), Transmutation (Transformative Arsenal) & Battlefield Removal (Application Based; All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[41], they do this through[42] transforming into a beam of light[43], they can use this in the middle of combat to turn intangible and phase through attacks[44]. They can also transform others into a beam of light and send them to other places with the teleporter, essentially removing them from the battlefield[45]), Consciousness Transferral (Robot Masters can[46] transfer their consciousness[47] into other bodies and machines[48], with characters like Doc Robots having[49] the Robot Masters programs and data directly installed with them, essentially acting as a more powerful body[50][51]), Divine Protection (After defeating ViA■[52] and destroying the Robot Destroy Program within him[53], The Player was able to[54] fully correct the Deep Log in its entirety[55]. However, Via says The Player's story isn't over[56] and RiCO repeats this and says that there will be future program errors in the Deep Log for them to correct[57] and it would be insecure for her alone to manage it alone[58]. Therefore to solve this problem that can happen in the future[59], RiCO will summon[60] The Player in order to correct any irregular data in the Deep Log[61] as she did in the start of the game[62]), 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"[63], being able to come back just fine after teleporting away to be repaired[64]), Immortality (Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; All robots[65] "true existences"[66] exist in[67] their data[68], thus as long as their[69][70] data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED"[71].

In Mega Man Xtreme, Sigma was trying to reproduce the past data of several mavericks in the mother computer to bring havoc to the world's peace and the only way the past data of previously defeated Mavericks from X1 and X2 could be stopped is if X goes inside as his data form[79]. Inside the Mother Computer, X defeats Vile's data form along with the data forms of a bunch of mavericks he has previously defeated[80]. However, despite defeating their data form, their data is still are able to come back for the rematches at the end of the game along with Vile being back in the hard mode's post game story. Despite destroying Vile's data twice, he was still able to come back and better than ever in Mega Man X8.

With data further being explored through here).



Resistance to Extreme Heats, Extreme Colds, & Weather Manipulation (Robot Masters[111] are made[112] to[113] withstand[114] extreme[115] terrains[116] and weather conditions), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Despite how active Robot Masters are they do not actually possess the feeling to think, feel, and make decisions of their own as this level of technology wasn't realized until the reploids of the X era. Along with Reploids having something closer to a human soul then any robot Robot Master has. Robot Masters have a "consciousness" though it is different from the standard humans consciousness as it's at the level of a "cognitive circuit" embedded inside each one of them[117]), Cosmic Radiations (All Robot Masters can breathe and survive in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space[118]), Information Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Can take hits from characters that can directly interact with, harm, and destroy a robots data, which all robots "true existences" rely on their data, thus as long as their data is stored they can be remade or come back if their data is specifically "SAVED".

Notable Techniques

  • 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.

Other

Standard Tactics: Cut Man throws the scissors on his head to do his Roller Cutter attack while jumping around quickly. He can also cut through space to create tears that he can hide in, sneak attack from, and trick his opponent.

Weaknesses: If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back. Has a weakness to Guts Man's Super Arm (Mega Man and Powered Up), Fire Man's Fire Storm (Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge), Mega Man's Mega Ball (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Sword Man's Flame Sword (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Clown Man's Thunder Claw (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Frost Man's Ice Wave (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Aqua Man's Water Balloon (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Wood Man's Leaf Shield (Mega Man: The Power Battle), Slash Man's Slash Claw (Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters), Mega Man X's Thunder Dancer (Mega Man X8), Zero's Raikousen (Mega Man X8), & Axl's Plasma Gun (Mega Man X8).


Trivia

  • Cut Man's dislike of rocks refers to the popular game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" where rock defeats scissors, by blunting the scissors' blades as they try to cut the rock, also a reference to his weakness Super Arm. His Japanese dislike, Janken, is the name of this game in Japan.
  • Cut Man's theme in Mega Man: The Power Battle is a remix of Shadow Man's stage theme.
  • He is one of the most popular Robot Masters in the classic Mega Man series, having a great amount of appearances. He is also possibly the most popular of the first six Robot Masters in Mega Man Megamix, as when Mega Man or Roll refer to the robots, they usually state "Cut Man and the others".
  • Cut Man is the only Robot Master in the main series whose primary weakness to a special weapon cannot be used against them again during the rematch in Wily's castle- unless the player is playing as Guts Man in Mega Man Powered Up.
  • Cut Man is the only character other than Mega Man and Roll to use Rush's functions in a game; using Rush Jet in Super Adventure Rockman to save Mega Man. Cut Man also demonstrated the ability to equip the Rush Adapter in the Megamix manga, due to the fact his body was identical to Mega Man's.
  • Cut Man is constantly depicted being in a bad mood,[126] but he isn't always like this, as shown in Mega Man Powered Up and Super Adventure Rockman.
  • In the Archie Comics series, he is known to have terrible puns, all involving cutting, such as "It was slice to meet you!" in Time Keeps Slipping. This aspect of his character is likely carried over from his appearance in the Mega Man cartoon series.
    • Additionally, Time Man and Bomb Man reflect on his terrible puns, being the only Robot Masters to do so.
    • When Mega Man fights him in the Archie Comics series, Mega Man also makes a pun of his own, only to realize his own pun was unimpressive.
  • Cut Man is probably the least resistant Robot Master to the standard Mega Buster in the classic series, and maybe the entire series as a whole. He takes 3 damage and noticeable recoil from a single hit, likely to compensate for the inability to use his main weakness, the Super Arm against him in Wily's Castle. Most other Robot Masters take 1 damage with no recoil. This might be because Mega Man is also called Rockman, and rock beats scissors in RPS.
    • Ironically, his counterpart in Captain N: The Game Master, Cuts Man, is the strongest of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 1. While the other Robot Masters went down with a single shot, Cuts Man was completely immune to the buster. It was only when he was distracted that he was slain with his own Cutting Boomerangs.
  • Cut Man has his theme warped into a major key in Mega Man Powered Up. (The original theme was in A minor, but the new theme is in A-flat major.) He is the only one from the original game with this trait in all playthroughs. Time Man and Oil Man don't count since they were not in the original game, and neither do Fire Man or Guts Man as their themes become major as a warning that something isn't right.

    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”…

  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
  8. 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.

    –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!!
  15. 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.

  20. 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.

  37. 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.

  41. 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”.

  50. 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.
  51. 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…
