Background
Quick Man (クイックマン Kuikkuman) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2. He was created by Dr. Wily using Elec Man's design as a base. His body is made of lightweight materials, allowing him to move at very high speeds, but this can easily cause him to be blown away by weapons like Air Man's Air Shooter. In addition to this, a flaw from within his device also makes him vulnerable to Flash Man's Time Stopper which can easily stop him in his tracks and slowly drain his health. Although his top speed is unknown, Quick Man is one of the fastest Robot Masters in the Mega Man series. His Special Weapon is the Quick Boomerang, they are small razor-edged boomerangs that he can rapidly fire from the launcher on his right arm.

Codex Statistics
Tier: At most High 6-A, Higher with Rage Power
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At most Multi-Continent level (Potency) (Can harm Mega Man who was able to fight on par with beings such as Duo, whose fight with Evil Robot caused a cloud explosion on Jupiter which was at this level), Higher with Rage Power (When Robot Masters are damaged to about half their health, they become invulnerable for a few seconds and perform more powerful attacks)
Durability: At most Multi-Continent level (Can take hits from Mega Man)
Striking Strength: At most Multi-Continent Class (Potency), 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: Massively Hypersonic (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe), possibly Higher (Is considered one of the fastest Robot Masters), Faster Than Light 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)
Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)
Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic Can keep up with Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo in combat who uses attacks that involve his travel speed)
Stamina: Essentially Limitless as long as they are powered by solar energy (All Robot Masters bodies are powered by solar energy, effectively giving them limitless stamina and ammo[2][3][4][5])

Intelligence: Gifted Intelligence (Can keep up with Mega Man in combat)
Powers and Techniques
Equipment
Quick Boomerangs
Optional Equipment
His car and items from Mega Man Battle and Chase
Notable Techniques
- Quick Boomerang: Quick Boomerang is Quick Man's Special Weapon. It is a small boomerang-shaped cutter that can be fired at high speed, but has short range.
Other
Standard Tactics: Quick Man quickly jumps around while using Quick Boomerangs. He can also ram into opponents.
Weaknesses: Time Stopper and Crash Bomber. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Note: Robot Masters/Reploids should scale to their teleportation as they have to react to the landing in order to land properly or do certain things like Cut Man did here. Otherwise, they will clumsily fall like Roll does here due to her clumsiness as she was not naturally prepared for adventures like Mega Man, and surprised Dr. Light and Dr. Wily with her natural power as well as Pallette keeping her balance here.
Trivia
- The first Zero Space stage in Mega Man X5 is reminiscent of Quick Man's stage, with many lethal pseudo-pseudo-lasers, and a time stopping weapon, Dark Hold, to pass by them easier.
- Quick Man's stage, with enhanced graphics, is used as Dr. Wily's fortress stage in the Game Gear Mega Man, although Quick Man does not appear as the stage's boss, or in the game at all.
- Quick Man was planned to appear in Wily & Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise, his sprites being present in the game, but he was not included for unknown reasons.[20]
- Quick Man is one of the bosses of the Mega Man franchise that can not be fully killed by the weapon he is weak against. This weapon, the Time Stopper, even at full power will only drain half of his life bar. Aqua Man, Cold Man, and Magma Man are other examples.
- In Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, Quick Man is mentioned by Roll by her win quote to Viewtiful Joe: "Wow, I've never seen a Quick Man cosplay before!"
- Also in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, the character Casshan has an alternate costume similar to Quick Man.
- In Super Adventure Rockman, Quick Man is shown to be able to transform his hand into a buster.
- Quick Man is one of the few Robot Masters to take 2 damage from the Mega Buster regardless of difficulty setting (he takes 4 damage from the buster in the NES version's normal mode).
- When playing on normal mode, Quick Man does not take double damage to the Time Stopper, unlike every other weapon, presumably because it would destroy him in one hit from the beginning of the battle.
- In Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Quick Man loses 1HP after every second unit of weapon energy is drained from the Time Stopper, with the last remaining unit doing zero damage, thus taking off a maximum of only 13HP instead of 14HP. Additionally, his "weakness" to the buster was removed, making all buster shots do 1HP worth of damage (this also happened with Cut Man and Flash Man). Lastly, any weapons which he was immune to on the Famicom/NES version, such as Metal Blades, would stop Quick Man from moving for a short time while the item bounced off. This does not happen in Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
- Quick Man's icon on the Robot Master selection screen for Mega Man 2 is unique. The boomerang crest on his helmet actually appears outside the bordering and overlaps it, while the mugshots of the other Robot Masters are contained within the four borders. Keiji Inafune requested this alteration to distinguish Quick Man as explicitly difficult compared against the other seven robots in the game. In Mega Man: The Wily Wars, the boomerang on his helmet does not appear on top of the border.
- Quick Man appeared in the most episodes of the Ruby-Spears cartoon out of all the Mega Man 2 Robot Masters
- In Mega Man Megamix Volume 1, Quick Man is described to be Relativistic+ by Elec Man after their short battle, making this the first time his actual speed was ever revealed.

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…
