Background
Cut Man (カットマン Kattoman) is a Robot Master who was created by Dr. Light to be a timber-felling robot. Cut Man debuted in the first Mega Man game, where he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to help him conquer the world.
His Special Weapon is the Rolling Cutter, an extremely sharp circular pair of scissor-like blades that can be thrown like boomerangs to attack from a distance. They are made of highly resistant "ceramic titanium", allowing them to slice through most materials effectively. His body was designed with a lightweight chassis that grants him fast and agile movement, even in strong rain and wind, as well as the ability to jump against horizontal surfaces to reach great heights. Metal Man would eventually be built via Cut Man's design.

He is also very polite when he talks, referring to everyone as Mr. or Ms. and fights to bring peace. If Mega Man fails to defeat a Robot Master in Super Adventure Rockman, Cut Man rescues him to bring him to safety.

Striking Strength: Planet Class+, Higher with Rage Power
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. Cut Man was also designed to be nimble), 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)

-
Cut Man using Rolling Cutter to cut holes through space
-
Enraged Cut Man using his strongest attack
- Rolling Cutter: Rolling Cutter is Cut Man's Special Weapon, a versatile cutter made of ceratanium that can cut anything in half. It has the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of the user in a teardrop-shaped pattern, before returning to the person that used it.
Other
Standard Tactics: Cut Man throws the scissors on his head to do his Roller Cutter attack while jumping around quickly. He can also cut through space to create tears that he can hide in, sneak attack from, and trick his opponent.
Weaknesses: If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back. Super Arm (Mega Man and Powered Up), Fire Storm (Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge), Mega Ball/Flame Sword/Thunder Claw/Ice Wave/Water Balloon (Mega Man 8: Sega Saturn Version), Leaf Shield (Mega Man: The Power Battle), Slash Claw (Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters), Thunder Dancer (X)/Raikousen (Zero)/Plasma Gun (Axl) (Mega Man X8).
Trivia
- Cut Man's dislike of rocks refers to the popular game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" where rock defeats scissors, by blunting the scissors' blades as they try to cut the rock, also a reference to his weakness Super Arm. His Japanese dislike, Janken, is the name of this game in Japan.
- Ironically, Cut Man, a lumber-cutting robot, is weak against the Leaf Shield, Wood Man's weapon, in Mega Man: The Power Battle.
- Cut Man's theme in Mega Man: The Power Battle is a remix of Shadow Man's stage theme.
- He is one of the most popular Robot Masters in the classic Mega Man series, having a great amount of appearances. He is also possibly the most popular of the first six Robot Masters in Mega Man Megamix, as when Mega Man or Roll refer to the robots, they usually state "Cut Man and the others".
- Cut Man is the only Robot Master in the main series whose primary weakness to a special weapon cannot be used against them again during the rematch in Wily's castle- unless the player is playing as Guts Man in Mega Man Powered Up.
- Cut Man is the only character other than Mega Man and Roll to use Rush's functions in a game; using Rush Jet in Super Adventure Rockman to save Mega Man. Cut Man also demonstrated the ability to equip the Rush Adapter in the Megamix manga, due to the fact his body was identical to Mega Man's.
- Cut Man is constantly depicted being in a bad mood,[8] but he isn't always like this, as shown in Mega Man Powered Up and Super Adventure Rockman.
- In the Archie Comics series, he is known to have terrible puns, all involving cutting, such as "It was slice to meet you!" in Time Keeps Slipping. This aspect of his character is likely carried over from his appearance in the Mega Man cartoon series.
- Cut Man is probably the least resistant Robot Master to the standard Mega Buster in the classic series, and maybe the entire series as a whole. He takes 3 damage and noticeable recoil from a single hit, likely to compensate for the inability to use his main weakness, the Super Arm against him in Wily's Castle. Most other Robot Masters take 1 damage with no recoil. This might be because Mega Man is also called Rockman, and rock beats scissors in RPS.
- Ironically, his counterpart in Captain N: The Game Master, Cuts Man, is the strongest of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 1. While the other Robot Masters went down with a single shot, Cuts Man was completely immune to the buster. It was only when he was distracted that he was slain with his own Cutting Boomerangs.
- Cut Man has his theme warped into a major key in Mega Man Powered Up. (The original theme was in A minor, but the new theme is in A-flat major.) He is the only one from the original game with this trait in all playthroughs. Time Man and Oil Man don't count since they were not in the original game, and neither do Fire Man or Guts Man as their themes become major as a warning that something isn't right.

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.
