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.

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".

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.
