Pharaoh Man

Pharaoh Man (ファラオマン) is a Robot Master designed as a pharaoh that resembles Tutankhamun. He was originally created by Dr. Cossack to explore pyramids, but was modified for battle by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 4. He's a charismatic leader, said to have over 1000 Mummira working for him, but becomes timid near beautiful women. He was created with high resistance and agility to avoid traps in pyramids, and has very sensitive eyes to be able to see in dark places, but this makes him weak to strong lights like the Flash Stopper. His main weapon is the Pharaoh Shot, a thermal sphere that can be charged with solar energy.

In the game Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Pharaoh Man has new powers, being able to levitate, create a giant eye for defense, summon Astro Zombiegs and release a wave of energy in two directions with the Pharaoh Wave.

Other media
Pharaoh Man appeared in the episode Electric Nightmare of the Mega Man animated series. Pharaoh Man and Proto Man help Dr. Wily invade the power station for a second time at night, this time being successful into installing the overwriting device and gaining control over the city. When Mega Man faces Wily near the end, Wily calls Pharaoh Man to defeat Mega Man and they fight outside the building. After having his weapon stolen, he punches Mega Man square in the face, and Mega Man uses his weapon to throw Pharaoh Man far away.

In the manga Mega Man Megamix, Pharaoh Man appeared in the story "Return of the God of Death", where he is attacked by Skull Man. Dr. Cossack, Pharaoh Man, Drill Man and Dust Man were captured by Skull Man and Dr. Wily, and he was reprogrammed. When Mega Man and the remaining Cossack robots go after Skull Man, Pharaoh Man attacks them and turn the snow into steam, lowering their visibility. He tries to attack all of them from behind with a fully charged Pharaoh Shot, but Bright Man wasn't with the others and knocks down Pharaoh Man. After the battle, he is repaired by Bright Man and helps the others against Skull Man.

Pharaoh Man also appeared in the manga Rockman 4.
