Mega Man 2 - Metal Man Stage

Background

Metal Man (メタルマン Metaruman) is one of the 8 Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. He was the first Robot Master built by Dr. Wily and he was created for combat for his revenge against Mega Man. Dr. Wily based Metal Man's design on Cut Man. His Special Weapon is the Metal Blade, which are large, razor-sharp, circular saw blades made of ceramic titanium that he can throw at a high speed with deadly accuracy. His lightweight design also grants him high agility, but because of a design flaw, Metal Man is particularly vulnerable to Mega Man's Mega Buster and to his own Metal Blades.

Tier: 5-B

Name: Metal Man, DWN-009

Origin: Mega Man 2

Attack Potency: Planet level+ (Can harm Mega Man who was able to fight on par with beings such as Duo, who was at this level)

Durability: Planet level+ (Can take hits from Mega Man)

Striking Strength: Planet Class+

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: FTL (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can outrun black holes from robot masters such as Saturn and Galaxy Man), Far Higher 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: Massively FTL (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: Massively FTL (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 due to being a robot

Range: Standard Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters with attacks, Interplanetary with Teleporters (All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances^[2])

Intelligence: Gifted (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (With Metal Blade, a devastating razor-edged circular saw blade made of Ceratanium that can go through multiple enemies and can be rapidly thrown in eight directions), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2, & 3; All Robot Masters can breathe in space just fine, with an entire game revolving around traveling through space^[3] and as robots do not require food, sleep or sustenance), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2. Robot Masters are highly developed robots in the fields of robotics. Robot Masters have a "conciousness" though it is different from the standard humans conciousness as it's at the level of a "cognitive circuit" embedded inside each one of them^[4]), Psuedo-Teleportation, Transformation, Light Manipulation & Intangibility (Type 3 [Transformation], Phasing/Elemental; All robot masters naturally display teleportation through teleporters interplanetary distances^[5], 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), Immortality (Type 3; Through robots and reploids ability to regenerate back their body and data. Type 6; Robot Masters can survive wounds such as being cut in half, with ones such as Proto Man calling it merely "a flesh wound", being able to come back just fine after teleporting away to be repaired. Type 8; 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". 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 through their data; 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), Information Manipulation (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". With data further being explored through here)

Standard Equipment

His mass amount of Metal Blades

Notable Techniques

Metal Blade: Metal Blade, written as Metal-Blade in some games, is Metal Man's Special Weapon, taking the form of a devastating razor-edged circular saw blade made of Ceratanium that can go through multiple enemies and can be rapidly thrown in eight directions.

Other

Standard Tactics: Metal Man jumps around while throwing several Metal Blades

Weaknesses: Metal Blade and Mega-Buster. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

While all of the teleport rooms in the final stages from Mega Man 2 are the same (save that Bubble Man's room is filled with water), Metal Man will still run as if there is a conveyor belt (like in his original room).

Metal Man is one of Keiji Inafune's least favorite bosses in Mega Man 2 because he is "too easy", as he said in a 1996 interview with Famitsu.

Metal Man is the only boss in the series who can be defeated by his own weapon in two hits or less.

Metal Man doesn't like dogs because they think he's playing fetch and try to take his blades.

Blade Man's mugshot from the DOS version of Mega Man 3 is an edit of Metal Man's mugshot.

Metal Man has a few variations in terms of his design. Most sources depicts him having a red pelvic plating, but in his Mega Man 2 sprites, this pelvic plate is not present. In his official artwork from Rockman Complete Works illustrated by Ryuji Higurashi,^[8] this pelvic plating is missing and Metal Man himself is also depicted with green eyes as well. It is unknown if he has the plate in his first official artwork from Mega Man 2, as his position covers the area it appears.

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.
