Quick Boomerang

Quick Boomerang (クイックブーメラン) is Quick Man's special weapon. It's a small boomerang-shaped cutter that can be fired rapidly and has short range. Mega Man can fire a couple of boomerangs with a small amount of energy. They are extremely useful against the first three Wily's Castle bosses. Although immune to the Quick Boomerang, Quick Man will immediately stop what he's doing and will be stunned momentarily when hit with his own weapon.

In the original Mega Man 2 game, the Quick Boomerang damaged every normal enemy in the game, including enemies that were normally supposed to be immune to all weapons such as the Big Fish in the third Wily stage. This was fixed in future remakes such as Mega Man: The Wily Wars.

Cartoon
Mega Man uses the Quick Boomerang to escape from Dark Man's electromagnetic net in the episode The Day The Moon Fell from the Mega Man animated series. In the cartoon, its design has three boomerangs held in the firing mechanism. In the episode Robo-Spider it has the same design as Robo-Spider's web.

Quick Man's version is different from that in the game. He has two different boomerangs - the one mounted on his helmet, which he throws, and laser boomerangs shot from a pair of launchers on his arm (similar to those found on Magnet Man).

Comic
The Quick Boomerang is obtained by Mega Man in the Mega Man comic.
