LaserMan.EXE

"TREMBLE BEFORE ME!" - LaserMan LaserMan.EXE is a NetNavi operated by Dr. Regal. He is effectively the Navi in charge of Nebula, who was deleted at the hands of MegaMan in his attempt to control the asteroid that contained Duo.EXE. He is an ambitious and dark NetNavi. In the games, he is a Darkloid, but in the anime, he is not.

MegaMan Battle Network 4
LaserMan was first encountered after Lan wins the Hawk Tournament. He prevents Lan from leaving and offers MegaMan the chance to join him. MegaMan.EXE refuses and is about to fight LaserMan when one of his friends arrive (GutsMan.EXE in Red Sun, AquaMan.EXE in Blue Moon). LaserMan then fuses MegaMan's inner darkness with the other Navi, forcing you to do battle with the DS (Dark Soul) version of the Navi. Then LaserMan retreats, saying the darkness had already grown inside him. Later Dr. Regal jacks him into Duo.EXE's comet in an attempt to take over the comet, and when MegaMan and LaserMan meet in the comet's cyberworld, they battle. LaserMan is eventually defeated and MegaMan proceeds into the control area of the comet.

Abilities

 * LaserMan's battlefield contains a Mystery Data at the lower back corner of his area, whilst fighting his Ω version. This contains a Giga Chip which varies depending the version being played.
 * Super Armour: LaserMan cannot flinch.
 * Cross Laser: LaserMan fires a laser centred 2 squares ahead. The centre square is cracked, and the laser spreads in a + formation.
 * Star Break Laser: LaserMan fires a laser upwards off the screen. Rocks then fall on the player for a set time.
 * Disruption Beam: LaserMan holds out his hand. Shortly after, time will freeze, and he fires a powerful laser down his row. It removes Invis if it connects, but does not pierce it. The attack, although it doesn't seem to actually deals multiple hits if the player chooses to use a shielding ability to avoid the attack but not if it hits normally. being hit without shielding however results in the loss of special navi customizer parts. (Super armour, air shoes etc. HP+ and buster upgrades etc still appear to be present)
 * Dark Laser: LaserMan fires a laser, creating a Dark Hole. Whilst the Dark Hole is present his health will slowly regenerate.

MegaMan NT Warrior
He first shows up in Axess when ShadeMan.EXE attacks Dr. Regal's ship base. When he attempts to attack Regal, LaserMan appears. ShadeMan attempts to kill him but his attacks go right through him, revealing that he was speaking with a 'projected image'. LaserMan destroys the Dimensional Converters and forces all the viruses and ShadeMan to de-materialize. He then usurps ShadeMan's position as the new leader of the Darkloids. He commands them on various missions and transforms ProtoMan.EXE (who had been corrupted with a Dark Chip) into a complete Darkloid. At the end of Axess, Dr. Regal reveals his plan to cover the entire world in a Dimensional Area, and then proceeds to initiate it using a tower with enough Dimensional Converters to do the job. He the proceeds to use a Dark Synchro Chip, fusing with LaserMan and deleting ShadeMan.EXE who has come to exact his vengeance. Afterwards, he melds his body into a giant robotic version of LaserMan and goes on a rampage, attacking various places around the globe. To do that, Regal uses the code from viruses to generate some kind of solid-state projected images.

After the destruction of the giant-sized Cross Fusion Laser Man, his body along with Dr. Regal's are thrown into the UnderNet, and LaserMan is destroyed, although Regal survives. He is never seen again.

One point of possible debate is LaserMan's exact personality in the Japanese version. His voice actor is shared with Regal, which surely is of no coincidence, and he speaks and acts just like Regal does. He seems to be designed to mirror Regal in everything. There are poitns in which it's hard to discern if LaserMan is really speaking what he thinks or if Regal is speakign through him. This is furthered in Episode#48 (Japanse numbering) 'Yuriko and Mariko' (renamed 'Ms. Yuri's mission' in the American dub). When Ms. Yuri wakes up on her refuge, all of the refuge's screens show LaserMan's face, yet Regal is also seen as speaking through a microphone. Taking into account how 'hollow' LaserMan's voice sounds, it may certainly be the case that LaserMan is supposed to copy everything Regal does or thinks.

Manga
In the MegaMan NT Warrior manga, LaserMan mysteriously appears along with Dark MegaMan at the end of volume 7. He assists Dark MegaMan in gaining enough hatred energy to allow him to fuse with Bass. LaserMan is later defeated by ProtoMan and consumed by Dark MegaMan after suggesting that they retreat. He never appeared again in the manga. It should be noted that even after fusing with Dark Megaman he still lost to Megaman.

Trivia

 * Dread Joker, of MegaMan Starforce 3, has the same design of clothing, such as wing-shaped thorn.
