He is Anetta's NetNavi and is used by her to retrieve the TetraCode in the Seaside Hospital. He sabotages the hospital's power supply and makes the Tree of Life in the middle of the hospital grow vines everywhere, obstructing Lan's way occasionally. He is confronted by MegaMan.EXE in the Tree of Life's maintenance system but he runs and leaves a Goofball Virus for him to fight. MegaMan and Lan chase him to the Operating Room's network where Mamoru is having surgery and delete him. The hospital goes back to normal but Anetta still has the TetraCode.

He is later found in the WWW base in his Beta form after performing Full Synchro with Anetta. They fight Lan along with Mr. Match with FlameMan.EXE at the same time but are still defeated.

He appears again as "Asteroid PlantMan" in Stream in Episode 4. He is given by Slur to a boy named Mameo who hates eating vegetables. He uses PlantMan to hack the school lunch system to tell him what the next day's lunch is, and to manipulate the machine such that the vegetables were thrown away on the conveyor belt. After a firewall is placed on the system, he attacks vegetable farms and their plant growing and maintenance systems to get rid of them. Then he attacks foreign imports of vegetables with his vines stopping food from coming in. After Mameo tells him to stop, PlantMan ticks him into materializing him with a Dimensional Chip. He is about to kill Mameo but Lan and Chaud show up. He kidnaps Mameo and goes to a vegetable factory. He grows the vegetables to supersize and traps Mameo in them. Lan and Chaud confront him with Cross Fusion but he traps them with his vines. Mameo escapes by eating the cucumbers giving Lan and Chaud the opportunity to save him. PlantMan attacks Mameo with his vines but MegaMan blocks using Curse Shield. PlantMan tries to stop them but are deleted by Lan and Chaud using Heat Shot Battle Chips.

His last appearance is in Beast as a Zoanoroid from Gregar's side, "Zoano PlantMan", fighting against Zoano SparkMan.

Trivia

 * While Anetta and PlantMan works together with Mr. Match and his Navi in the game (and both are based in Robot Masters from Mega Man 6), PlantMan doesn't have an operator in the anime and fights against Mr. Match's NetNavis. Ironically he doesn't have an operator in the manga either, but unlike the anime Anetta never makes an appearance.


 * In the anime, Plantman had a tendency of getting deleted in the first episode he appeared in the different series.
