Bomb Man

"Not looking your usual cool self, Guts Man-- Fighting, fireworks, festivals... That's where it's at!"

"I'll show you! It's the beauty on the inside that counts!"

- Bomb Man

Bomb Man (ボンバーマン) is a demolition Robot Master from the Mega Man classic series, with the ability to create powerful Hyper Bombs and throw them with startling accuracy, allowing him to destroy most targets with ease. He was created by Dr. Light for mining and construction purposes, as well as to blast away debris so that land could be cleared for construction projects, working in tandem with Guts Man. Bomb Man is a playable character in Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man's Soccer. He can be fairly reckless with his explosives, due to his relative immaturity, and in Mega Man Powered Up, was shown to have a generally fun-loving, immature and sometimes quite sarcastic personality.

Strategy
During the fight against Bomb Man in Mega Man Powered Up, when he uses his critical attack, if he says, "That's a bit harsh," that means he will throw a big bomb directly at you. If he says "I'll show you," that means he is going to throw a big bomb; however, it will bounce across the room rather than explode upon direct contact. To dodge the directed throw bomb, just get out of the way when Bomb Man throws it at you. To dodge the bouncing bomb, just run under it when you have a chance before it touches you.

Trivia

 * Bomb Man (along with Fire Man) is one of the only Robot Masters from the first Mega Man game that did not appear in any of the arcade titles. Also, he (along with Guts Man) did not appear in the first Game Boy title.


 * Bomb Man's Japanese name is literally translated as "Bomberman", though he is still commonly referred to as "Bomb Man" in Japan. The Japanese version of Mega Man's Soccer is the only instance of Bomb Man being referred to as "Bomberman" within a game.
 * [|Ganju Shiba,]A character in the Hit Anime [|Bleach] who also fights using explosives shares many personality quirks with the Bomb Man Featured in Mega Man Powered Up, including a low opinion of their own surface apearance. However, seeing as this personality became official after Ganju's Introduction but Bomb Man himself was created long before the Bleach Manga was even written, it is unlikely that either character drew inspiration from the other, but instead, may have been inspired by the same outside source.
