Ra Thor

Ra Thor is the penultimate boss from the game Super Adventure Rockman.

Video game appearances
Ra Thor was created by Dr. Wily using the advanced technology that he discovered in the ancient pyramid while working with the supercomputer Ra Moon. When Wily learns that Ra Moon has been using him all along in order to accomplish his mission of building a new army with which to take over the world, Wily rebels against his new partner and orders Ra Thor to destroy Ra Moon. However, Ra Moon has somehow managed to reprogram Ra Thor without Wily's knowledge and the powerful robot rebels against Wily, attempting to kill him. Mega Man, however, intervenes and saves his archenemy's life.

Ra Thor proves to be faster than Quick Man and tougher than both Wood Man and Hard Man, but Mega Man manages to defeat him using a combination of the acquired Robot Master Special Weapons that he has and the Proto Shield, specially the Spark Shock. After his defeat, Ra Moon says that Ra Thor was just another of Wily's imperfect machines, and reveals that he secretly created his own robot, the New Yellow Devil.

Other appearances
Ra Thor first appeared in Issue 29 of the Mega Man comic book series by Archie Comics. Like Super Adventure Rockman, he was created by Dr. Wily. Unlike the game, he had been created specifically to stop Ra Moon after the latter betrayed him. Unfortunately, because it was derived from the same technology as Ra Moon, the evil supercomputer managed to take over the robot and turn it against Wily when he arrived to attack it, also giving Mega Man and the others trouble due to it lacking any weaknesses. It took all of Mega Man's remaining Variable Weapons Systems ammo to temporarily stun Ra Thor, with Break Man finishing him off with a swift drop of his shield onto its head.

Trivia

 * Ra Thor is referred by Wily as the New Wily Number 1 (新ワイリーナンバー1).


 * According to Dr. Wily, Ra Thor's speed is double that of Quick Man's and his power is three times that of Wood Man's and Hard Man's.
