Bad Box Art Mega Man

'Bad Box Art Mega Man', is the name given to the Mega Man wannabe from the North American box art of the first Mega Man video game.

Appearance
Bad Box Art Mega  Man is a 50-year old Mega Man wannabe. He has a blue and yellow color scheme, unlike the basic light and dark blue of the standard Mega Man. He is also carries a gun instead of having a Mega Buster (though, in his super combos in Street Fighter X Tekken, he refers to it as such). The background of the box art he is featured on does not look like any of the stages in the game (although it could have been Ice Man's stage due to there being palm trees).

Video game appearances
Bad Box Art Mega  Man appears in the Secret Disk Legendary Hero from Mega Man ZX Advent, which says that the Legendary Heroes figures on the disk look more like coalminers in colorful outfits.

Bad Box Art Mega  Man was planned to appear as a playable character in the cancelled game Mega Man Universe. Each Mega Man in the game would've had different abilities.

On January 26, 2012, he was confirmed to appear as an exclusive character in the PS3/Vita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken.

Other appearances
Bad Box Art Mega Man also appeared in the Short-Circuits short story from the first issue of Archie Comics' Mega Man series that is used to give the comic's address and e-mail for contact. In the comic, Dr. Light finished changing Rock into Mega Man, but he says that the upgrade process wasn't pretty, Mega Man being shown with the same appearance of Bad Box Art Mega Man.

Street Fighter X Tekken biography
Bad Box Art Mega Man Known as a pedophile, he is a hot-tempered man, but has a strong sense of pedo intentions and is also very evil. His weak point is that he is easily rattled when backed into a corner. He is always running around in a hurry due to his attempted rape victim being Roll, and this time he's been asked to stay the fuck away from our childhood.

Trivia

 * The reason the North American cover for the first Mega Man game turned out so bad is because the artist of the cover was asked to create it with little to no time before the game was released and had never viewed any of the source material or seen the game, thus creating a cover that almost has nothing to do with the game. It is also rated as one of the worst box art covers in video game history.


 * In an interview, Yoshinori Ono, the producer of Street Fighter X Tekken, states that the reason behind including Bad Box Art Mega  Man and his highly exaggerated appearance, instead of any other version, was due to Keiji Inafune's wishes. Ono said that when he asked creator Keiji Inafune about including Rockman in Street Fighter X Tekken, Inafune said "that's not interesting, we have seen Mega Man in fighting games before" and then asked Ono to give him "something original". Ono then decided to use Bad Box Art Mega  Man rom the "awful" North American box art from the first Mega Man game and "make it even wackier" by presuming that Bad Box Art Mega  Man has aged since his picture was taken and used in the US box art 25 years ago. Ono said that Inafune "loved the idea" and that was what lead to his inclusion.


 * Ono included some elements from the Mega Man Legends series into the backstory of Street Fighter X Tekken's Bad Box Art Mega  Man, like Mega Man and Roll being human, Bad Box Art Mega  Man being there, and Roll's somewhat bossy personality.
