What are you bubbling over?
~ Venus

Background

Venus is one of the first four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. He is a very aggressive Robot Master that walks sideways like a crab, unable to walk forward. His main weapon is the Bubble Bomb, a heavy bubble made of a soapy substance that explodes on contact.

Venus loves cleanliness and washes his head with shampoo every morning, despite the fact that he doesn't have hair. He also likes the Awa Dance Festival, and dislikes octopi. His weakness is the Photon Missile.

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

Venus walks in an attempt to damage Mega Man by touching him, but when Mega Man attacks Venus, he jumps and fires a small homing Bubble Bomb or a large stationary Bubble Bomb that lands where Mega Man is standing, trying to smash him. The small Bubble Bomb can be avoided sliding and shooting at it before it reaches the player, but the large one has to be destroyed by staying out of its way and shooting at it until it explodes. After Venus loses half of his energy, whenever he shoots a small Bubble Bomb, he will shoot three at once: one on the floor, one while jumping in the air, and another after he lands back on the ground. Venus is vulnerable to attacks in mid-air while shooting the Bubble Bomb and when he lands.

His weakness is the Photon Missile, which for better results can be fired in mid-air so Venus jumps and falls in the trap by either running into it or being attacked by it when the missile accelerates, and then shooting another on the ground after Mega Man lands to make him fall on the trap again. It can also penetrate through him and destroy any Bubble Bomb on its way. However, Venus' bubbles destroy the missile if they touch it, unless it is accelerating. It takes him out in seven missiles.

After his defeat, Mega Man not only gains Venus' weapon, the Bubble Bomb, but also the Rush Coil adapter.

Powers and Techniques




Equipment

Nothing notable.


Notable Techniques

  • Bubble Bomb: Bubble Bomb is Venus's Special Weapon from Mega Man V. Venus fires out a bubble that slowly floats upward in a weaving pattern, then rolls across the ceiling before exploding after a set time. If it touches an enemy or wall, the bomb will explode instantly. Up to two Bubble Bombs can be present on the screen at a time. Bubble Bomb is Jupiter's weakness and is also effective against Punk and Ballade. Saturn, Uranus, Terra, L. Knuckle and R. Knuckle, and the second phase of the Brain Crusher are immune to it.

Other

Standard Tactics: Bubble Man will hop around and shoot out bubble bomb along with smaller bubbles to attack the target.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Mars photon missile. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Venus is named after the planet Venus, which is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Being an aggressive robot, Venus doesn't seem to fit thematically with any of them, but the name of the goddess's Greek equivalent, Aphrodite, is derived from the word "aphros" (sea foam). He also uses shampoo, which may be derived from Venus's beauty part.
  • Venus' crab-like appearance is owed to the fact that the planet Venus routinely intersects with the constellation Cancer, which is a crab.
  • Venus is the only Stardroid to have green eyes in the official artwork.
  • Venus looks similar to Toad Man from Mega Man 4.
  • Though he is yellow in his Mega Man V artwork, on the North American boxart for the game, he is green, and his red "V" stripes are a light shade of green rather than red, a possible nod to his Toad Man-esque appearance.

  1. Dr. "I’m Always" Right Breaks It Down 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  6. 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!!

  52. 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.
  53. 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…
