Mega Man 2 - Flash Man Stage

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.

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.
