Hit Points: 500

Attacks: BrightMan will employ his BrightShield after any attack is rendered, whether or not it hits him. If the player shoots above BrightMan, BrightMan will taunt with his BrightShield already up. However, the BrightShield is only up for a couple of seconds. He lowers his guard shortly after putting down the BrightShield, giving the player a chance to attack directly. When Brightman is defeated, the player will receive either a RemoPlug battle chip or BrightMan battle chip.
 * BrightShield (0) - A barrier that guards BrightMan from any incoming attack.
 * BrightBeam (80) - BrightMan launches a beam of light that can be adjusted to different angles. BrightMan will shoot this if he is hit while the BrightShield is up.
 * BrightSpark (60) - BrightMan shoots a spark that slowly follows MegaMan.

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess
BrightMan first appears in Axess as one of the Darkloids. Raoul and ThunderMan have a grudge against him because he deleted a friend of theirs, prompting them to go to Electopia to get revenge. He starts causing mayhem and destruction in the city as MegaMan and Lan can't attack because of their previous battle. LaserMan says that he never ordered these attacks, stating that the Darkloids are just trying to prove themselves. Dr. Regal, however, tells him to let them cause as much destruction as possible. Their actions are intervened by SearchMan and ThunderMan, but Darkloids SwordMan, FridgeMan and NovaMan arrive at the scene to take part in the chaos. SearchMan aims at them and fires, but hits their reflection on FridgeMan's ice instead. ThunderMan, however, uses his thunder to redirect the shot towards the Darkloids, and hits BrightMan headon. BrightMan is deleted, and the others escape.

BrightMan is later resurrected by LaserMan and Regal along with the rest of the Darkloids in order to attack Control X to avoid being found. They're all deleted, and MegaMan deletes BrightMan using Torch Soul.
