Background

Torch Man is a Robot Master who appears in Mega Man 11. He originally was manufactured by Tsubakuro Precision Machining as an outdoor advisor that taught campers about fire safety and practiced martial arts to keep the flames coming out from his body under control, but was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to fight against Mega Man and use his pyrokinetic abilities for destructive purposes. He is a practitioner of Torch-jutsu, a martial art he developed, being particularly good with jumping kicks. His Special Weapon, Blazing Torch, allows Mega Man to fire a ball of red-hot fire diagonally into the air. He speaks with a Japanese Accent.

Codex Statistics

Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power, Far Higher with Power Gear

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Potency) (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), Far Higher with Power Gear (Torch Man when reaching half health, activates his power gear, which is designed to push robots far beyond their strength, being noted by Dr. Light Mega Man would not stand a chance against Robot Masters with the Double Gear System without using it himself, putting it far above any power amplification he's received prior, which has been shown to amplify his powers by 5x)

Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man), Far Higher with Power Gear (Completely immune to attacks from non-power gear Mega Man in this state)

Striking Strength: At most Multi-Continent Class (Potency), Higher with Rage Power, Far Higher with Power Gear

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), Faster Than 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)

Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)

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, Kilometers with Heat Manipulation (His heat and fire could affect half of a forest), Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances^[6])

Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Torch Man ventures out into the wild to work on his very own martial art, "Torch-jutsu", starting it in order to train himself to keep his flames under control, since the slightest lapse in judgement can cause a dangerous flare-up. Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Self-Sustenance (Respiratory Self-Sustenance, Nutritional Self-Sustenance, & Restful Self-Sustenance; All Robot Masters can breathe in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space^[7] and as robots do not require food, sleep or sustenance), Inorganic Physiology (Non-Living Objects; Robot Masters are highly developed robots in the fields of robotics. 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^[8]), Rage Power (When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks), Limited Invulnerability & Forcefield Creation (When robots in Mega Man are hit, they have periods of invulnerability where they cannot take damage for a few seconds. This is shown to exist in verse as there are chips that amplify this ability such as Double Barrier and Extend), Absorption (Robot Masters^[9]^[10]^[11] are built in with^[12] usages of solar energy to charge their bodies and use their weapons essentially limitlessly^[13]), pseudo-Teleportation, Transformation, Light Manipulation, Intangibility (Phasing/Elemental), Transmutation (Transformative Arsenal) & Battlefield Removal (Application Based; All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances^[14], they do this through transforming into a beam of light, they can use this in the middle of combat to turn intangible and phase through attacks. 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), Consciousness Transferal (Robot Masters can transfer their consciousness into other bodies and machines, with characters like Doc Robots having the Robot Masters programs and data directly installed with them, essentially acting as a more powerful body^[15]^[16]), Divine Protection (After defeating ViA■ and destroying the Robot Destroy Program within him, The Player was able to fully correct the Deep Log in its entirety. 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". With data further being explored through here), Regeneration (Mid through Cartoon Physics; Can regenerate from being crushed by Mad Grinder. Should scale to all the other Robot Masters who all regenerate after being flattened in Mega Man Powered Up. Mid-Godly as their Data Forms; In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, Rockman Shadow's data comes out of his deceased body and regenerates a new body at the very end post-credits of the game. 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. Inside the Mother Computer, X defeats Vile's data form along with the data forms of a bunch of mavericks he has previously defeated. 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 then ever in Mega Man X8. In Mega Man ZX, Omega's soul data along with flashes of the past battle in Zero 3 are trapped in area O and even after defeat, he can come back without limit even after obtaining Model OX which contains his soul data. With data further being explored through here), Resurrection (Robots that are fought and defeated are able to be brought back as long as they still have their data, with this also extending to reploids being able to come back for rematches. With data further being explored through here), Non-Standard Interaction (Conceptual Interaction & Abstract Interaction; 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". All data resides in the deep log of each game's data and information of the Mega Man Franchise and many other Capcom franchises, with it being stated that data makes up the characters' personality, memories are data pieces that can be used to materialize hunter programs and also have the feelings of the characters, their data is even what determines their own canonicity in reality, with all characters being considered data alongside all universes being made of data. With data further being explored through here).

Martial Arts (Torch Man ventures out into the wild to work on his very own martial art, "Torch-jutsu", starting it in order to train himself to keep his flames under control, since the slightest lapse in judgement can cause a dangerous flare-up), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (With his technique Blazing Torch, fires a ball of red-hot fire at an enemy), Statistics Amplification (With the power gear system, amplifies a robots power to far greater then before), Power Modification (The Power Gear amplifies the various robot master weapons into far more powerful variations of the weapons)

Equipment

Power Gear: Power Gear is a red gear that increases the power of robots. When used by Mega Man it makes his default shots bigger (but he can only fire two at a time instead of three) and allows him to shoot two Charge Shots together (a regular charged shot followed by a red colored charge shot), knocking Mega Man back a little due to its power. The Power Gear also increases the power of his Special Weapons. If the Mega Buster is fully charged when the meter reaches its limit, it will be possible to fire an extra-powerful Final Charge Shot, but at the price that the cooldown period from overheating cannot be prevented. Notably even if the gauge meter reaches maximum, Mega Man will not enter cooldown mode while charging until he either fires the Charge Shot, deactivates the gear, or is damaged. If the Shock Absorber part is installed, it can prevent the recoil effect from using these special Charge Shots.

Notable Techniques

Blazing Torch: Blazing Torch is Torch Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 11. Torch Man launches a ball of red-hot fire diagonally into the air. Each fire ball comes crashing back down as a searing projectile in the shape of a fiery dragon, reminiscent of Torch Man's blazing kicks. Using the Power Gear, the weapon can be supercharged to fire off three projectiles at once. Blazing Torch can be used to destroy explosive boxes found in Blast Man's stage and Gear Fortress 2.

Other

Standard Tactics: Torch Man spends most of his battle shooting fireballs shaped like fists, occasionally stopping to jump around the room and try to hit his opponent with a well-placed kick. He can either run up to the opponent and perform a sweeping kick, or he can jump up and then come down with a blazing drop kick. When he loses half of his health, Torch Man activates his Power Gear, sets his body ablaze, and jumps around the room while sending giant fireballs rolling on the ground, then jumps into the air and comes crashing down in the middle of the room, creating a massive flame pillar in his wake. He is invulnerable to attack in this state with the exception of a Tundra Storm strike. He returns to his normal pattern after this.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Tundra Man's tundra storm. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

Torch Man was also the name of a Robot Master in Mega Man 3: The Robots are Revolting, coming 26 years before the current Robot Master.
Although Torch Man has no NetNavi counterpart in the video games, in the English dub of the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, FireMan.EXE was renamed TorchMan.EXE.
Torch Man's fighting style is similar to Magma Dragoon's fighting style from Mega Man X4.
Torch Man shares his voice actor with Rush in Mega Man 11.
Torch Man is the second Robot Master whose original purpose was to be an educational robot guide (campfire safety, in this case), the first being Dynamo Man (power plant guide).
Torch Man is similar to Burner Man as both Robot Masters are fire elemental and have their respective stages take place within a forest. Also, both Robot Masters' stages have a form of insta-kill hazards (a moving fire wall for Torch Man and a floor of flames for Burner Man) and share a weakness to ice weapons (Torch Man being weak to Tundra Storm and Burner Man being weak to Ice Wall).
Interestingly, it is safer to wait just under Torch Man when he activates Power Gear and goes up, than to wait a little closer to him because when he landed on Mega Man he deals 3 damage but when Mega Man is not under and is not far enough, the fire wall of Torch Man's fall deals 6 damage.

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.

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.

 ==Background==
 '''Torch Man''' is a Robot Master who appears in ''Mega Man 11''. He originally was manufactured by Tsubakuro Precision Machining as an outdoor advisor that taught campers about fire safety and practiced martial arts to keep the flames coming out from his body under control, but was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to fight against Mega Man and use his pyrokinetic abilities for destructive purposes. He is a practitioner of Torch-jutsu, a martial art he developed, being particularly good with jumping kicks. His Special Weapon, Blazing Torch, allows Mega Man to fire a ball of red-hot fire diagonally into the air. He speaks with a Japanese Accent.

The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.</ref><ref>Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet</ref><ref>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?<br>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.<br>Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.</ref>)

+==[[Equipment]]==
 *'''Power Gear:''' Power Gear is a red gear that increases the power of robots. When used by Mega Man it makes his default shots bigger (but he can only fire two at a time instead of three) and allows him to shoot two Charge Shots together (a regular charged shot followed by a red colored charge shot), knocking Mega Man back a little due to its power. The Power Gear also increases the power of his Special Weapons. If the Mega Buster is fully charged when the meter reaches its limit, it will be possible to fire an extra-powerful Final Charge Shot, but at the price that the cooldown period from overheating cannot be prevented. Notably even if the gauge meter reaches maximum, Mega Man will not enter cooldown mode while charging until he either fires the Charge Shot, deactivates the gear, or is damaged. If the Shock Absorber part is installed, it can prevent the recoil effect from using these special Charge Shots.

+==Notable Techniques==
 *'''Blazing Torch:''' Blazing Torch is Torch Man's Special Weapon in ''Mega Man 11''. Torch Man launches a ball of red-hot fire diagonally into the air. Each fire ball comes crashing back down as a searing projectile in the shape of a fiery dragon, reminiscent of Torch Man's blazing kicks. Using the Power Gear, the weapon can be supercharged to fire off three projectiles at once. Blazing Torch can be used to destroy explosive boxes found in Blast Man's stage and Gear Fortress 2.

-===Other===
+==Other==
 '''Standard Tactics:''' Torch Man spends most of his battle shooting fireballs shaped like fists, occasionally stopping to jump around the room and try to hit his opponent with a well-placed kick. He can either run up to the opponent and perform a sweeping kick, or he can jump up and then come down with a blazing drop kick. When he loses half of his health, Torch Man activates his Power Gear, sets his body ablaze, and jumps around the room while sending giant fireballs rolling on the ground, then jumps into the air and comes crashing down in the middle of the room, creating a massive flame pillar in his wake. He is invulnerable to attack in this state with the exception of a Tundra Storm strike. He returns to his normal pattern after this.
