Bright Man

Bright Man (ブライトマン) is a Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack to act as a light source on dark expeditions. The light bulb on his head is capable of emitting one million watts of power. Dr. Wily reprogrammed him in Mega Man 4 to serve as a combat robot. His main weapon, the Flash Stopper, stuns and blinds opponents with an intense burst of light for a brief moment.

Strategy
Bright Man will run and jump around the room at random, stopping to stun Mega Man with his Flash Stopper and then fire at him, similar to Flash Man's means of attack. He will only use Flash Stopper after losing 12, 20, or 24 HP. It is best to use the Rain Flush while trying to avoid his shots as best as possible. If he is shot once with an uncharged Mega Buster shot and then if the Rain Flush is used against him repeatedly, he will never use Flash Stopper.
