Other media
Skull Man appears in the manga Rockman Megamix, where he is deactivated by Dr. Cossack after the events of Mega Man 4, but is later reactivated by Dr. Wily. Angry, SkullMan goes to Cossack's lab and destroys it, capturing Dust Man, Pharaoh Man and Drill Man with Reggae and some Skeleton Joes. He later locates Dr. Cossack when he was giving a TV interview, and is captured by him during the broadcast. MegaMan see this and goes after Skull Man with some help, but SkullMan also captures Kalinka and Roll. He later locate and fights against him with the help of the other robots Cossack created. Dr. Cossack figures that Skull Man's feelings where hurt for being treated and used like he was just a weapon without emotions, and deactivated. After the battle, Skull Man asks Cossack not to create any fighting machines like him again.

In this manga, Skull Man's Skull Barrier is a set of six skull like flying disks that appear from the mouth of his shoulders and creates electricity around him. He also has machine guns in his arms and 16 machine guns hidden in his chest.
