MegaMan NT Warrior
In the anime MegaMan NT Warrior, FireMan is called TorchMan. Mr. Match uses TorchMan to attack ovens around the city to spread chaos and fear. He appears in the first episode controlling the oven in Lan's house and making it overheat by unleashing Viruses. After MegaMan deletes them, he retreats. Later TorchMan attacks Mayl's oven. MegaMan and GutsMan then intervene. MegaMan deletes the viruses, but TorchMan pushes MegaMan and GutsMan back. GutsMan charges at him, but is forced to log out after taking too much damage from TorchMan's fire blast. After Maylu is rescued, Lan goes back into the house to help MegaMan. MegaMan uses Blaster to push TorchMan back, then a CyberSword to cut off his arm. TorchMan retreats and the fires stop.

After his defeat, TorchMan is ordered by Mr. Match to delete MegaMan in a rematch to rejuvenate his spirits. He causes overheating electronics around the Net o lure out MegaMan but MegaMan doesn't seem to notice. Mr. Match rages but TorchMan raises the possibility that MegaMan may not know its them so Mr. Match sends him to deliver the message. But he meets Roll.EXE and GutsMan.EXE and gives the message to them. He waits at the Central Heating Grid and makes it overheat to create a volatile environment for their match. But MegaMan doesn't show up, leading to TorchMan admitting he didn't give the message directly to MegaMan and gets a scolding from Mr. Match. A NetNavi then logs in. TorchMan begins to welcome him but realizes it is Roll. Roll challenges him but TorchMan laughs at her. Roll gets mad and hits him with Roll Blast. She continues using Roll Blast but TorchMan evades and teleports behind her and knocks her down. He mocks her and prepares to finish her off with a flame blast. But at the last minute, MegaMan arrives and shoots his cannon. TorchMan and MegaMan then charge at each other: TorchMan with Flame Arm and MegaMan with Mega Buster. Both evade each other's attacks so TorchMan uses Flame Tower. The Central Heating Grid continues to heat up even more. MegaMan, Roll and GutsMan evade Fire Towers. Mayl uses Aqua tower which allows Roll to counter a Fire Tower but TorchMan unleashes another fire tower more powerful than the one before. The trio evades but it circles around and heads straight for Roll. But MegaMan jumps in the way and takes the attack, becoming severely injured. As GutsMan and Roll rush to help him, TorchMan unleashes a tidal wave-esque Fire Tower. As doom approaches them, Roll calms down and asks Mayl for another Water Tower. She recieves it from a hestitant Mayl and uses it to sends GutsMan through the flame. TorchMan is confident they are defeated and prepares to log out but GutsMan is sent through the flame and right into TorchMan, injuring his crest. Mr. Match panics and TorchMan logs out. The Heating Grid returns to normal afterward.

He then reappears during the N1 Grand Prix, where he fights MegaMan twice. After the defeat of PharaohMan, Mr. Match goes after Lan for a rematch while Lan was traveling, but he only reaches a city after Lan had departed.

During the attack of NetCity, TorchMan is deleted by FreezeMan. TorchMan's remaining data is combined with HeatMan's by Mr. Famous. TorchMan makes a short appearance while HeatMan was fighting against FreezeMan.
