Background

Flame Man is a fire themed Robot Master from Mega Man 6 originally created to generate a large amount of thermal power, which is also his energy source. Although this is a somewhat outdated power source, it gives him more stability than robots with solar energy. Flame Man was later modified for the First Annual Robot Tournament, his thermal power circuits being turned outward so he can use his immense thermal energy for fire attacks, released in the form of a flamethrower on his arm. With it, not only can he can attack from a distance with searing balls of fire, but he can utilize his Special Weapon, the Flame Blast, to scorch opponents with flames that erupt from the ground.

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

Mega Man 6
In the First Annual Robot Competition, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world, but was defeated by Mega Man. His weakness is the Wind Storm, due to its ability to weaken him by cooling him down and blowing out the flames he produces.

Rockman Strategy
Flame Man is a recurring enemy and optional teammate in the game Rockman Strategy. He joins Bomb Man and Aries at the Steelmaking Factory in Northern Asia, before appearing in Dr. Wily's laboratory in Saudi Arabia to aid the Wily Machine α. In this second battle, he fights alongside Frost Man, Spark Man, and Metal Man.

Powers and Techniques



Heat Manipulation (Flame Man was created as a means of generating thermal power, with his internal thermal power alone providing many homes and facories with electricity), Fire Manipulation (Flame Man utilizes his immense thermal energy to launch fiery attacks where he creates pillars of fire that erupt from the ground, along with shooting standard fireballs are his opponents).



Resistance to Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Takes virtually no damage from flame blast), Plant Manipulation (Is completely immune to plant barrier), Space-Time Manipulation (3+1-D) & Battlefield Removal (Dimensional Removal; Is completely immune to centaur flash)

Equipment

Nothing notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Flame Blast: Flame Blast is Flame Man's Special Weapon. In Mega Man 6, Flame Man can slam his arm cannon on the ground and release fire which then comes up as pillars of flame in random spots. The pillars rise from the ground twice and contacting them will deal four units of damage against Mega Man. He will shoot out a fireball at a low arc. If it hits a wall or the ground, it creates a pillar of flame. Flame Blast can be used underwater and can also melt ice walls. Up to three fireballs can be present on the screen at a time. An interesting feature of the weapon is that it bounces off the ice blocks present in Blizzard Man and the 2nd Wily Castle stages without creating a flame pillar. Flame Blast deals four damage to any unit, excluding bosses and weaknesses, making it one of the strongest Special Weapons in the game, and can instantly defeat Au-Aus.

Other

Standard Tactics: Flame Man will run around using his flame blast against his opponent.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Wind Man's wind blast. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • The jewel on Flame Man's head is green, but due to color limitations of the NES, it is orange in his Mega Man 6 mugshot.
  • Flame Man's weapon, Flame Blast, is one of Mega Man's moves in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. It serves as his Down Smash attack, during which he crouches down and points both Busters at the ground, charges up, and blasts an eruption of flames upwards from the ground at either side of him, scorching nearby opponents and launching them into the air.
  • Flame Man is believed to represent Saudi Arabia, due to his association with oil (Saudi Arabia is the largest oil exporter in the world). However, the fact that he wears a turban could indicate an association with Iran instead, since Iran is also a major exporter of oil and is associated with the turban (which is considered confirmed tradition among Shia Muslims).

  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
  5. 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.

  47. 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.
  48. 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…
