Heat Man

Heat Man (ヒートマン) is a combat Robot Master created by Dr. Wily based on Fire Man's design. His body is highly resistant to heat and fire, and has the shape of a Zippo lighter, the lid sometimes shutting down unintentionally, usually when he laughs. He has a dial in his back that regulates the power of his flames, which he's unaware of. His main weapon is Atomic Fire, which can produce flames up to 21,632 degrees Fahrenheit (12,000 degrees Celsius) in temperature from his blaster. He can surround himself in flames for protection, making him invulnerable for a short time, and tries to tackle enemies while on fire. He can also spit fire from his mouth.

If the player uses Crash Bomber or the Atomic Fire on Heat Man (the latter can only be used while fighting him in the rematches with all 8 robot masters in the 5th Wily Stage.) in Mega Man 2, his life will be re-filled completely.

Mega Man
Heat Man appears in episode 24 of the Mega Man animated series.

Captain N: The Game Master
Heat Man appeared in episode 20 of the cartoon Captain N: The Game Master, where he plays football against the main characters. Heat Man is taller (at least in terms of proportions), his main color is red and he has a blaster on one hand. He also looks much more metallic and has a picture of a flame on his armor.

Mega Man Megamix
In the manga Mega Man Megamix, Heat Man appears in the story "Orders to Destroy R", where he, Crash Man and Metal Man appeared to help Air Man when he was outnumbered by Dr. Light's robots. When Mega Man went after Wily with Item-2, Heat Man asked Crash Man to give him Crash Bombs, which he consumed to use as boosts to pursue Mega Man by air, fighting against him along the way. Near Wily's castle, Bubble Man appeared in the sea below and attacked Mega Man. During the chase, Mega Man managed to kick Heat Man into the water, damaging him because of the sudden temperature change and heating the water near Bubble Man, who had to escape to avoid the heat, making them unable to continue the pursuit.

Other appearances
Heat Man also appeared in the manga Rockman: Dr. Wily's Plot, Rockman World and Rockman 4Koma Great March. Heat man also made an appearance in the Dreamwave Mega Man comic.

Trivia

 * In Mega Man: The Power Battle, unused sprites show animations of Heat Man lighting and smoking a cigarette, Heat Man having his lid shut on him and him being frozen solid (by the Ice Slasher)


 * The maximum temperature Heat Man can reach, 12000 degrees Celsius, is higher than the Earth's core and the Sun's surface. Also, fire doesn't reach this temperature in reality, this heat being closer to plasma.


 * Heat Man has a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7. He, along with many other Robot Masters from the previous Mega Man games can be seen in the background of the Robot Museum.


 * A portion of the background music that plays in the Robot Museum of Mega Man 7, is a remix of the background music that plays in his stage in Mega Man 2.


 * Graf Michael Sepperin, a character the doujin soft series, Rosenkreuzstilette, uses a similar attack pattern to Heat Man.


 * Heat Man's stage makes an appearance in the music video "Air Man ga Taosenai" ("Air Man Can't Be Defeated"). The player is unable to cross the blocks that disappear in his stage. It is mentioned that with Item-2 it would be easy, but the player can't beat Air Man to get it.


 * In Mega Man: The Power Battle, the music that plays when fighting Heat Man is a remix of Gyro Man's theme.


 * In the Megaman Complete Works book, Keiji Inafune stated that Heat Man was his favorite robot master in that game.
