Resistance to Extreme Heats, Extreme Colds, & Weather Manipulation (Robot Masters are made to withstand extreme terrains and weather conditions), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Despite how active Robot Masters are they do not actually possess the feeling to think, feel, and make decisions of their own as this level of technology wasn't realized until the reploids of the X era. Along with Reploids having something closer to a human soul then any robot Robot Master has. 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[18]), Cosmic Radiations (All Robot Masters can breathe and survive in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space[19]), Information Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Can take hits from characters that 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), Plot Manipulation (As data determines one's canonicity in reality and all universes are made of data, one would need to fully change one's data in order to change their narrative. With data further being explored through here), Electricity Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from electricity based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Heat Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from heat and fire based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it and survive the intense heats), Magma Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from magma based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from ice based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it, even with ice as cold as absolute zero), Gravity Manipulation (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from gravity based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Black Holes (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from black hole based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Petrification (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from petrification based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it, with the petrification being potent enough to effect black holes), Acid Manipulation & Corrosion Inducement (Robot Masters are able to tank and survive attacks from acid & corrosive based Robot Masters attacks, even those with a weakness can survive hits from it), Transmutation (Robot Masters and others are unaffected by the effects of the the mystery tank, which turns all weak enemies on screen into extra lives), Space-Time Manipulation & Battlefield Removal (Robot masters are able to tank and survive attacks from the likes of Centaur Flash, which creates a dimensional distortion where he warps space and sends an opponent into a black hole, with even Robot Masters that have a weakness to it surviving its hits and not being sent into a black hole. Robot Masters can also take hits from Cut Man who can cut through space itself and leave dimensional tears that he can jump in)

~ Flash Man |
Background
Flash Man (フラッシュマン Furasshuman) is one of the 8 Robot Masters built by Dr. Wily and is fought by Mega Man in Mega Man 2. His special weapon is able to stop time itself for short periods of time. However, his normal bullet attacks aren't that strong. Flash Man also uses his power for mischief outside of combat. He is also considered a Masterpiece by Dr. Wily since he can fully stop time while Dr. Light's Time Man can only slow down time.
General Information
Name: Flash Man, DWN-014
Origin: Mega Man 2

Creator: Akira Kitamura, Tokuro Fujiwara
Gender: Male
Sex: None (Flash Man is a robot and is not biological)
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: Unknown
Classification: Robot Master
Species: Robot
Occupation: None
Status: Alive, Unknown in the X Series (Takes place many years in the future where the fate of prior classic series characters are unknown, with it being implied their data still exists as Cut Man's data exists still)
Alignment: Lawful Evil (A robot created specifically for combat by Dr. Wily and for his revenge against Mega Man)
Codex Statistics
Grade: A
Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Potency) (Can harm 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 (Potency), 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), 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: Mimics Limitless Stamina (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, Hundreds of Meters with attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances[6]), Universal with Time Stop
Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)
Powers and Techniques
Resistance to Time Stop (All Robots Masters in Mega Man 2 have built in devices making them immune to time stop, however Quick Man's has an error and hurts him instead), Air Manipulation (Completely immune to the air shooter)
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
- Time Stopper: Time Stopper is Flash Man's Special Weapon, which has the ability to stop time for a limited time.
Other
Standard Tactics: Flash Man chases his opponent to ram into them, and can stop time to shoot energy projections while the opponent cannot move
Weaknesses: Metal Blade, Ice Slasher and Crash Bomber. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Note: Robot Masters/Reploids should scale to their teleportation as they have to react to the landing in order to land properly or do certain things like Cut Man did here. Otherwise, they will clumsily fall like Roll does here due to her clumsiness as she was not naturally prepared for adventures like Mega Man, and surprised Dr. Light and Dr. Wily with her natural power as well as Pallette keeping her balance here.
Trivia
- Flash Man was the only Mega Man 2 Robot Master not to be in Captain N: The Game Master. He was also the only Robot Master from Mega Man 2 other than Bubble Man to not make an appearance in the Mega Man animated series.
- Flash Man is the third Robot Master to have only one hand. His predecessor was Air Man, who also appeared in the same game.
- Ironically, while the Quick Boomerang deals no damage to Flash Man whatsoever in the games (Mega Man 2 and Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge), Quick Man defeats him no less than twice with it in comic book adaptations of the series (Mega Man Megamix and Archie Comics' Mega Man).
- Despite the top of his helmet being yellow in his artwork, in his mugshot it's white due to system limitations.
- Oil Man's mugshot from the DOS Mega Man 3 is an edited version of Flash Man's mugshot.
- If the player turns around just as the shutter to Flash Man's room opens up, the player can enter the room backwards due to the slippery floor.
- One reason that Flash Man likes cameras and photography may be in how he can use his power to get a perfect still capture. Another reason may be due to how cameras flash as they take pictures—very much like how he does when he stops time.
- His quote in his Mega Man & Bass CD data may be a reference to the 1960s song of the same name by The Supremes.
- Flash Man's theme resembles Metallica's "Seek & Destroy".
- M. Bison's theme, "Irreconcilably," in the Street Fighter EX series has a 14-15 second portion of Flash Man's theme which plays almost 36 seconds into the theme.
- Pro wrestler Kenny Omega has a signature move called Flash Man's Time Stopper.
- His theme song has been compared to the "Town Mission 4" song from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) due to the two songs having similar tunes.
