Bright Man

Bright Man (ブライトマン) is a Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack to act as a light source on dark expeditions. The light bulb on his head is capable of emitting one million watts of power. Dr. Wily reprogrammed him in Mega Man 4 to serve as a combat robot. His main weapon, the Flash Stopper, stuns and blinds opponents with an intense burst of light for a brief moment.

Strategy
Bright Man will jump around the room at random, stopping to stun Mega Man with his Flash Stopper and then fire at him, similar to Flash Man's means of attack. He will only use Flash Stopper after losing 12, 20, or 24 HP. It is best to use the Rain Flush while trying to avoid his shots as best as possible. If he is shot once with an uncharged Mega Buster shot and then if the Rain Flush is used against him repeatedly, he will never use Flash Stopper.

Mega Man
Bright Man appeared in the episodes Electric Nightmare, Robo Spider, Curse of the Lion Men and Bro Bots in Ruby-Spears' Mega Man animated series. In the cartoon, Bright Man has some solar panels around his neck that he can use to charge up and does not use his arm cannon, preferring to immobilized enemies with the Flash Stopper and finish them off by other means (including his fellow Robot Masters). He is also bulkier and clumsier than his in-game counterpart, proving quite incompetent in combat, even when manning a tank. He also had his own action figure.

Mega Man Megamix
Bright Man appeared in the story The Grim Reaper of Resurrection, and is shown as a cowardly pacifist. His function in the manga was to serve as a back up light source in times of disasters or blackouts.

Other appearances
Bright Man also appeared in the manga Rockman 4 and Rockman 4Koma Great March.

Trivia

 * Bright Man's dislike is "unmoral districts" (a euphemism for where brothels and other ill repute areas are). These are often called "Red-light districts", since brothels tend to have red lights in them.
