MagnetMan.EXE

MagnetMan.EXE is a NetNavi from the MegaMan Battle Network series.

MegaMan Battle Network 2
His operator is Gauss Magnus and he hijacks a airplane for the Gospel organization. MagnetMan tries to steal the program that allows the plane to operate to help make Bass.EXE clones. MegaMan has to fight him in the airplane's network to stop him from stealing the program and later in the Gospel Base.

MegaMan Battle Network 5
In the Team ProtoMan version, he is operated by Tesla Magnus, Gauss' daughter, and is first found at the end of the Drill Comp in the Old Mine. After defeating him, he joins the player's team and his Magnet Barrier allows ProtoMan to take out the cannons preventing the player from liberating Oran Area 3. MegaMan fights with him in the Liberation Mission against ShadeMan. After the mission, he grudgingly joins Team ProtoMan and MegaMan gains his Double Soul.

He is playable in the Liberation Missions against various Darkloids. Later when Lan infiltrates Nebula's base, MegaMan fights with him in Nebula Comp 1. After defeating BlizzardMan, he'll try to suck MegaMan into a portal to the Dark Galaxy. However, MagnetMan moves in front of MegaMan and gets pulled in instead. He later appears with the other Team ProtoMan members to help MegaMan defeat Nebula Grey.

Anime History
MagnetMan is first operated by Gauss Magnets during the course of the second season of MegaMan NT Warrior. After Magnets is thrown in jail, MagnetMan is imprisoned with him.

During the events of Rockman EXE Stream, he is broken out of captivity by Asteroid FlashMan. His new operator is the daughter of his original operator, Tesla Magnets. He is the only Navi in the Neo WWW who does not have an Asteroid origin. He is also able to Cross Fuse with Tesla during the events of Stream.

Abilities

 * Super Armour: MagnetMan won't flinch from enemy attacks unless he is hit with a counter attack.


 * Air Shoes &amp; Float Shoes: MagnetMan can't be affected by negative panel affects or holes.


 * Magnet Panel: MagnetMan changes to either the second row on the player's side of the field or all the corners of the battlefield into magnet panels.


 * Magnet Missile: MagnetMan shoots two curved magnets at MegaMan that turn once to seek him.


 * Magnet Hole Blast: MagnetMan stuns MegaMan with a magnet hole then shoots a ball of purple electricity at him.


 * NS Tackle: MagnetMan creates a blue duplicate of himself that tackles MegaMan at the same time he does for damage. Does more damage if MegaMan is at the front of the player's area.

Double Soul
When MegaMan gains Magnet Soul, he becomes an electric type Navi. He is able to use a Magnet Coil attack that draws in the enemy when he charges up his buster and increase the attack power of Electric chips. Pressing B and Left at the same time also allows him to form a Magnet Hole that keeps enemies on the same row in place.

Trivia

 * There is a unused sprite of Magnet Soul with a blue color scheme in MegaMan Battle Network 5, suggesting that MegaMan would have been able to use NS Tackle.
 * During any fight with MagnetMan in BN2, if the player launches the FireBall/AquaBall/ElecBall Battle Chip and it makes contact with MagnetMan's Magnet Ball attack, the damage potential will shoot all the way up to 999 without either attack cancelling each other, meaning massive damage if it successfully connects.
 * According to the Rockman.EXE Official Complete Works, MagnetMan is unusual for the fact that he has a face guard, something that only the main characters (MegaMan and ProtoMan) have.
