Background
Mega Man, known as Rockman in Japan, is the title protagonist of the "Classic" Mega Man series developed by Capcom since 1987. He is also known as Mega or Rock in his original form. The pixel art for him was created by the designer of the original game in the series, Akira Kitamura, and later turned into a refined illustration by Keiji Inafune. Since then, he has become one of the company's primary original characters and continues to be one of the video game industry's most recognizable icons. Having appeared on many gaming systems since the Nintendo Entertainment System, Mega Man has had a wide gaming audience, and his games continue to evolve with the ever-changing hardware demands of modern gaming systems. Mega Man's fictional universe can be divided into seven categories, each featuring different variations and incarnations of the same blue hero. Although "Mega Man", or "Rockman", is usually the name used to describe only the original Mega Man from the classic series, it can also be used less specifically to describe the Mega Man series of fictional works, or the group of adherently named main characters within.
Several spin-off series have emerged over the past few years, each one continuing the Mega Man mythos in some unique way, including but not limited to Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends, and Mega Man Battle Network. A resulting animated series was also produced originally in the United States as well as a number of toys, comics, and collectibles available both in and outside of Japan.
Mega Man's role in the original story is to battle the mad scientist Dr. Wily and his ever-growing army of robots, and stop them from taking over Earth by using their own special abilities against them. Utilizing his special Mega Buster arm cannon, and his ability to copy a defeated robot's Special Weapon, Mega Man must travel the world and traverse harsh environments in order to bring Wily's menace to an end. With the help of his creator Dr. Light and his assorted robotic companions, Mega Man's eventual goal is to one day achieve "everlasting peace".

With Water Wave, uses high pressure to inject compressed water in one direction with enough power to pierce through steel. With Bubble Bomb, fires out a bubble that slowly floats upward in a weaving pattern, then rolls across the ceiling before exploding after a set time. If it touches an enemy or wall, the bomb will explode instantly. With Salt Water, sends out a large orb of water that, when it hits an object, will split and bounce into three smaller orbs. With Water Balloon, shoots a sphere of water at a low arc.

It then sends out a damaging deluge of projectiles spiraling across the screen. Using the Black Hole stops time for a brief moment before the hole expands, making it useful to stop Mega Man's momentum when falling to scout the area below for hazards. With Black Hole Bomb, fires a small orb that can be controlled with the directional pad up and down. It can be detonated by using the fire button, which creates a black hole that pulls nearby enemies and enemy projectiles to it.

Notable Techniques
- Copy Vision: Mega Man creates a holographic clone to fool his opponent.
- Hyper Bomb/Crash Bomber/Commando Bomb: Mega Man’s various explosive weapons that he has copied over time.
- Fire Storm/Atomic Fire/Pharoah Shot/ Flame Blast/Scorch Wheel/ Flame Sword/ Solar Blaze: Mega Man’s trademark fire attacks that he has copied. The effect varies depending on what he uses. Atomic Fire is noted to be hotter than the surface of the Sun.
- Leaf Shield/Skull Barrier/Plant Shield/Junk Shield/Frost Shield/Jewel Satellite: By using a weapon of this variety, Mega Man surrounds himself with a barrier that protects him from harm. He can also launch the barrier as an attack method.
- Concrete Shot: Mega Man copied this technique from Concrete Man. With one shot, he can turn nearly anything into solid concrete that shatters after being touched. This even includes nonsolid objects such as black holes.
- Black Hole/Black Hole Bomb: An attack that Mega Man had copied from Saturn and Galaxy Man. He creates a black hole that sucks in enemies, projectiles, and all sorts of things. He can also send out everything he had sucked into the Black Hole.
- Time Slow/Time Stopper/Centaur Flash: Space-time attacks Mega Man copied from the likes of Time Man, Flash Man, and Centaur Man. Mega Man can either slow time or stop it completely in regards to the first two, and with the Centaur Flash, he pauses time and warps space to damage his foes.
Other
Weaknesses: Mega Man can be rather naïve at times. His copied weapons have limited ammunition.
