Gravity Man

Gravity Man (グラビティーマン) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily. He has the ability to control gravity with the unit installed in his body. In Mega Man 5, he occupied an anti-gravity institute and used it against Mega Man. His only offensive weapon against enemies is an arm cannon; but he can use Gravity Hold to freely manipulate his opponents' gravity and his own gravity and then fall like a heavy weight into them.

Mega Man 5
Gravity Man constantly shifts gravity up and down, running back and forth. He may also jump, sometimes shooting bullets from his own arm cannon while jumping. When he changes gravity, it is Mega Man's opportunity to shoot him. His weakness is the Star Crash, and it can also negate his shots. But using it as a shield to negate his shots instead of throwing it costs more energy, so anytime the opportunity arises, the player should quickly throw the shield at Gravity Man and he will take heavy damage.
