Cold Man

Cold Man (コールドマン) is an ice-themed Robot Master appearing in Mega Man & Bass. He was created by King and designed to look like an icebox. Cold Man's original purpose was to aid scientists in preserving prehistoric D.N.A. from dinosaurs in hopes of cloning the creatures, but he grew bored and annoyed with the fact that he wasn't able to demonstrate more of his talents. He attacks using spiked Ice Walls that he creates by opening the freezer on his belly, and freezing the floor. He also creates Cold Mist enemies to slow the player's movement and get in the way. Cold Man is one of the first three selectable bosses in the game. Defeating Cold Man allows the player to select Burner Man and Pirate Man.

Strategy
Cold Man's primary means of attack is creating his Ice Wall, a spiked, rectangular block of ice, and pushing it toward you. The block will bounce off of the wall and be destroyed as it slams into the other wall. This means you must jump over it twice in order to avoid getting hit. After this attack, Ice Man will jump toward you a tiny bit, then repeat the attack. After a certain amount of damage, Ice Man will start creating Cold Mists before his attack. These enemies will float toward you, and will render you unable to jump if made contact with. It will be a good idea to destroy this enemy before attacking Cold Man. The Mega Buster, Lightning Bolt, and Wave Burner are all fine weapons to use again Cold Man.

Trivia

 * Cold Man is called "Freezer Man" in his early sketch, and his body was more similar to a normal freezer.
 * Cold Man will gain health if he is attacked by his own weapon, Ice Wall.
 * Cold Man's weakness is Lightning Bolt, but Wave Burner can do some considerable damage to him.
 * Cold Man is one of four ice-themed robots who create ice sculptures. The other three are Chill Penguin, Blizzard Buffalo, and Frost Man. Additionally, he and Frost Man are the only ones from the original Mega Man series to have this talent.
 * Poler Kamrous from Mega Man Zero 2 uses an attack similar to Cold Man's Ice Wall.
 * The reason Cold Man doesn't like the El Nino effect is because it is a phenomenon that causes weather to be warmer than usual.
