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 research institute and used it against Mega Man. His only offensive weapon against enemies is an arm cannon; but he can use Gravity Hold in a short range to freely manipulate his opponents' gravity and his own gravity and then fall like a heavy weight into them.

Mega Man 5
Gravity Man is one of the eight bosses. He 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.

Mega Man Megamix
Gravity Man is a combat robot who was created for Dr. Wily's fifth attempt at world domination. His Gravity Hold was developed based on the theory that gravitational fields are spatial distortions. Gravity Man is able to choose any one point in his surroundings as a gravitational focal point, and cause a gravitational field to be produced around that point. To create a useful focal point, Gravity Man needs something with mass and usually selects a wall or ceiling for this purpose. When Mega Man uses the Gravity Hold as a special weapon, he creates the focal point within the body of his enemy.

Gravity Man first appeared in the story "Holiday of Soldiers", where the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 have part-time jobs in an amusement park to earn money for Dr. Wily. Gravity Man works by distributing balloons.

In the Mega Man Gigamix story Moon of Darkness, the Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 are attacked by the Stardroids, and Gravity Man is defeated by Mercury.

Other appearances
Gravity Man also appeared in the manga Rockman 5 and Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin.

He has a NetNavi counterpart, GravityMan.EXE.
