Napalm Man is a weapons enthusiast equipped with an array of explosive weapons all over his body - he is equipped with Napalm Bomb launchers in his arms, a large missile launcher in his head, and also launch six smaller homing missiles from silos concealed in his shoulders.

Travel Speed: Faster Than Light (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)

He wants to use the prize money to create his own Weapons Museum, if he wins he successfully builds and stocks the museum with the prize money, but no one visits it. After waiting for a while, one guest visits the museum, but says it's boring. Angered by the comment, Napalm Man accidentally blows up the museum with his own weapons.

Notable Techniques
- Napalm Bomb: Napalm Bomb is Napalm Man's Special Weapon. When used, he sends out a bomb that bounces about on the ground. It explodes if it kills an enemy on contact, or after a few seconds of no activity. It will change direction if it hits a wall. It is useful against low-lying enemies like Mousuberu. No boss in Mega Man 5 is immune to this weapon. It also seems that Napalm Bomb is the weakness of many big enemies, such as Dachone.
Other
Standard Tactics: Napalm Man will shoot out missiles along with shooting out his napalm bomb.
Weaknesses: He has a weakness to Crystal Man's crystal eye. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Trivia
- Although Napalm Man is purple in his official artwork, he is blue in Mega Man 5 (both his mugshot and in-game sprites) due to color limitations. In every other game he was featured in (minus Mega Man 10), he was purple.
- Due to his appearance in the intro as well as the series' cancellation after two seasons, Napalm Man may have been planned to appear in a third season of the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon. However, Mega Man: Upon a Star, which is based on the Ruby-Spears cartoon, features Napalm Man.
- Napalm Man's interview quote in Mega Man: Battle & Chase, "I'll be back.", is a reference to a recurring line from The Terminator franchise. It is also the only one of the quotes to be stated in English instead of Japanese.
- The description given of Napalm Man in his Japanese Mega Man & Bass data and in the Mega Man: Robot Master Field Guide mentions his weapons museum, as well as the fact that no one visited it.
- The Rockman 5 Japanese game commercial's music was a remix of Napalm Man's theme.
- Napalm Man dislikes metal detectors because his body is full of hidden weapons, which metal detectors are designed to find.
- Napalm Man is one of two Robot Masters in Mega Man 5 to not make an appearance in any episodes of the 1994 animated Mega Man series (except for his brief cameo in the opening). The other is Charge Man.

- ↑ PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”.
“GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace.
Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”…
–However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!! - ↑ Q. What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?
A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all. - ↑ Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful. - ↑ Weapon: Transforming Rockbuster, fires a solar bullet
- ↑ Q. Do robots like those made by Dr. Wily or Dr. Cossack have self-awareness, and can they talk? And do they run on solar energy like Rockman does?
A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? 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. - ↑ PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.

With the powers of all robots combined into one, this is truly one dreadful robot.
- ↑ This all-purpose robot can take on the same abilities of every other robot merely by switching its program data. Still, if it just copies the powers of robots that Rockman has already been able to defeat, one might expect for Rockman to overcome them again…
