Background
Plant Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed as a flower, which can be used as camouflage. He was originally created as a keeper of a botanical garden, and is said to be able to communicate with plants. Because of his popularity, he became the mascot of the garden. After hearing of the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was modified for combat and equipped with the Plant Barrier, a Special Weapon that creates a barrier of energy that takes on the appearance of spotted flower petals. In the tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him in his plan to conquer the world.
In the fighting games Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Plant Man can also shoot from his arm cannon and create small robot plants to help him. His weaknesses are the Blizzard Attack in Mega Man 6 (he's also semi-weak to the Flame Blast), Gyro Attack in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Atomic Fire in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.

Mega Man 6
His weakness is Blizzard Attack, but it cannot hit him when Plant Man uses his Plant Barrier. It defeats him in seven hits. Also, Flame Blast is his semi-weakness, but just as Blizzard Attack, it cannot hit him when he uses his Plant Barrier. It defeats him in fourteen hits. If the Power Adaptor is used fully charged against him after throwing his Plant Barrier, it will cause him to jump again, without a barrier, and he will resume his pattern of attack. Interestingly enough, when he lands, the barrier firing sound will play again. Mega Man: The Power Battle
Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
Plant Man's pattern depends on the order the bosses are fought. Regardless of the order, Plant Man will primarily focus on using buster attacks and sowing the small plant enemies. The plants can't turn, firing only on the direction they are facing. If Plant Man is the first boss, he can either fire one bullet straight ahead or quickly fire in five directions. After losing half of his health he will fire two bullets instead of one. His small plants fire the same amount of projectiles as his straight shot. If Plant Man is the last of the six bosses, he will fire three bullets straight ahead instead of one. As his small plants have the same fire rate, they become faster and more dangerous. If Plant Man isn't one of the first bosses fought, after losing half of his health he will start using Plant Barrier. Instead of a set pattern, his timing and jumping vary before launching Plant Barrier. He can also launch Plant Barrier in the player's direction while jumping. Also, his straight shot will have four bullets instead of three, and the plant enemies he creates will change. Instead of dropping the seeds on the ground, they are released on the air, creating flying plant enemies that "bounce" around and drop petals. |

Sex: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Robot Master

Alignment: Lawful Good (Was originally created as a keeper of a botanical garden, becoming the mascot of the garden due to his popularity and will follow the laws of robotics), Lawful Evil after being reprogrammed by Dr. Wily (Reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world and destroy Mega Man)
Codex Statistics
Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Fought against and harmed Mega Man, who was able to fight on par with beings such as Duo, whose fight with Evil Robot caused a cloud explosion on Jupiter which was at this level), Higher with Rage Power (When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks)
Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man)
Striking Strength: At most Multi-Continent Class, Higher with Rage Power
Lifting Strength: Class G (The Robot Masters are normally made to be on par or superior to Mega Man, who was able to hold up Dr. Wily's fortress at end of Mega Man 5, with Robot Masters such as Guts Man being superior in strength and Robot Masters such as Splash Woman having comparable feats such as lifting entire ships from the ocean)
Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe), Speed of Light with Teleporters (Robot Masters teleporters should scale to Mega Man and Proto Man’s teleportation, where they are able to travel planets and solar systems in a short time frame[1], reaching this levels of speed)
Combat Speed: Relativistic+ (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)
Reaction Speed: Relativistic+ (Can react to Cut Man who can cut objects while teleporting. Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed, where Duo is capable of traveling through galaxies while doing his job and likely travels across the universe doing his job to destroy the Evil Energy)
Stamina: Essentially Limitless as long as they are powered by solar energy (All Robot Masters bodies are powered by solar energy, effectively giving them limitless stamina and ammo[2][3][4][5])
Range: Standard Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters with attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[6])
Intelligence: Gifted (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)
Powers and Techniques
Resistance to Plant Manipulation (Is completely immune to plant barrier), Space-Time Manipulation & BFR (Is completely immune to centaur flash)
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
- Plant Barrier: Plant Barrier is Plant Man's Special Weapon. It is a barrier of condensed energy shaped like flower petals that spins around the user and protects him from some attacks.
Other
Standard Tactics: Plant Man will develop a plant barrier around him to protect himself from attacks and launch them as an attack.
Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Blizzard Man's blizzard attack, Gyro Man's gyro attack, and Heat Man's atomic fire. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Trivia
- Although Plant Man has an arm cannon, he does not use it in Mega Man 6. However, his data file in Mega Man Megamix says that his arm cannon is his Plant Barrier discharger, suggesting that it was meant to fire off the weapon. This is further supported by the fact that, in Mega Man 6, Plant Man will raise his arm cannon as he fires off the Plant Barrier and the petals of the Plant Barrier emerge from his arm cannon in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
- Plant Man's stage features flowers with a flashing center, though the center is actually a small health pickup.
- In Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Plant Man's music is a remix of Crash Man's music.
- In Mega Man: The Power Battle, Plant Man is weak to the Gyro Attack. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, the reverse is true -- Gyro Man is weak to the Plant Barrier (Plant Man's weakness having been switched to Atomic Fire).
- Plant Man's official artwork shows him with vines, but none are seen on his original sprite; this is likely due to the restrictions of the NES's capabilities. He did appear with them in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, however, due to both games being developed on more powerful systems.
- Plant Man is believed to represent Brazil and the Amazon rain forest. However, because Plant Man's design is thought to be based on the Rafflesia flower (which grows in Southeast Asia rather than South America), some speculate he may be from Malaysia or Indonesia instead. It is worth noting that he is definitively from Brazil in the Archie comics.
- Plant Man, or the Archie Comics depiction of the character, technically shares his Robot Master production number with Prometheus.

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. - ↑ Q.

A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful. - ↑ Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
- ↑ 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. - ↑ PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
