Background

Ring Man is a combat Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack specifically to terminate Mega Man in Mega Man 4. His Special Weapon is the Ring Boomerang, a literal ring-shaped boomerang that resembles a chakram. Having high penetration power and speed, and being throwable from almost any angle, it is both a powerful and unpredictable weapon.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Ring Man’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Mega Man 4 Ring Man is one of the eight bosses. Even though Ring Man's attack pattern is somewhat simple, both him and his rings are very fast and hard to dodge. The battle requires constant movement and good timing, especially hard considering Ring Man is a fast opponent. He will start the battle by throwing a Ring Boomerang straight forward at where Mega Man was when he threw it. He will then jump up and throw another, the previous Ring Boomerang now returning to him. The rings can be avoided by jumping over the first one, but standing on the ground so the second one misses Mega Man. Then he'll land, and run to the other side to repeat the pattern stopping where Mega Man was before running. This can be avoided by jumping over him. If Mega Man fires while Ring Man is running, Ring Man will most likely retaliate with another boomerang before he reaches the other side. His weakness is the Pharaoh Shot, which defeats him in fourteen uncharged shots and five charged ones. A tricky but effective strategy is to simply hold a fully-charged Pharaoh Shot and dodge his attacks as best as possible. If timed correctly, Ring Man's jump will take him straight through the Pharaoh Shot, causing him to take damage. As the Pharaoh Shot does not lose its charge when the player takes damage, throwing it at where Ring Man will land, even if one is damaged by his boomerang, will deal more damage to him if the aforementioned strategy is used. Mega Man IV Ring Man is one of the first four bosses. His strategy is similar to Mega Man 4.

Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Noted to be a keen strategist. 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).

Weapon Mastery & Weapon Control (Ring Man is able to skillfully use his ring boomerang, that he is able to control the angle and distance of each boomerang flings).

Resistance to Light Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Is completely immune to flash stopper)

Equipment

Ring Boomerang: Weapons Ring Man uses and freely controls in his fights.

Notable Techniques

Ring Boomerang: Ring Boomerang is Ring Man's Special Weapon. It has a somewhat limited range and, as its name implies, boomerangs back, but it can do multiple hits if aimed correctly. It's Dust Man's weakness, but Dust Man is immune to the Ring Boomerang when he has his vacuum on. It is also the weakness of Mothraya, Tako Trash, and the first form of Wily Machine 4. The Ring Boomerang can also pierce some shielded enemies, like Shield Attacker and Skull Man's Skull Barrier. In Mega Man IV, the Ring Boomerang can take items and pull them to Mega Man. Ring Boomerang can also destroy Garyobies.

Other

Standard Tactics: Ring Man will jump around throwing his Ring Boomerangs.

Weaknesses: Is weak to Pharaoh Man's pharaoh shot. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

Ring Man appears as No. 28 (DWN-028) in the credits of Mega Man 4. This is Pharaoh Man's number, who appears with Toad Man's number, who appears with Ring Man's number.
In Mega Man Megamix and Mega Man Gigamix, Ring Man is shown to wear a trenchcoat and hat when on duty as a police robot, reminiscent of iconic fictional inspectors.
Excluding the Special Stage from Mega Man 9, Ring Man's stage contains the most sub-bosses in any stage of the Mega Man franchise, with four appearing in the stage.
Ring Man is the only character whose NetNavi counterpart is the opposite gender from the original.
Interestingly, Ring Man's stage theme has shades of Fire Man's theme in it.
Ring Man's and Drill Man's themes change pitch when they loop.

↑ 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!!
↑ 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.
↑ 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.
↑ 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.

What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?<br>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.</ref><ref>Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?<br>A. 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>)

 *'''Ring Boomerang:''' Ring Boomerang is Ring Man's Special Weapon. It has a somewhat limited range and, as its name implies, boomerangs back, but it can do multiple hits if aimed correctly. It's Dust Man's weakness, but Dust Man is immune to the Ring Boomerang when he has his vacuum on. It is also the weakness of Mothraya, Tako Trash, and the first form of Wily Machine 4. The Ring Boomerang can also pierce some shielded enemies, like Shield Attacker and Skull Man's Skull Barrier. In Mega Man IV, the Ring Boomerang can take items and pull them to Mega Man. Ring Boomerang can also destroy Garyobies.
