Dark Man

Dark Man (ダークマン Dakuman) is the name of four robots created by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 5, one of which was created to frame Proto Man taking his form. They appeared in the Proto Man Fortress, each in a stage:


 * The first is a green Dark Man with wheels instead of legs, that tries to run over Mega Man. He makes a cameo in a stage from Marvel vs. Capcom.


 * The second is a gray Dark Man that can create electric force fields. He is the only Dark Man without an arm cannon and the the only that appeared in the Mega Man cartoon series. He appeared in the Episode 15:The Day The Moon Fell and Episode 23:Brain Bots.


 * The third is a blue Dark Man that can paralyze enemies and instead of an arm he has a machine gun.




 * The fourth is the red Dark Man that impersonated Proto Man to frame him for Dr. Wily. The fake Proto Man didn't have a scarf and his whistle is different. When Mega Man reached the fourth Dark Man, he didn't want to fight against him, getting hurt and surviving with only 1 HP. Luckily, the real Proto Man appeared and blasted away the disguise and revealed the final Dark Man, giving a L-Tank to Mega Man before the battle to recover him. His attacks appear to be a combination of the previous three Dark Man.

Trivia
The Dark Man robot may be a nod to the movie hero "Darkman", who, with his synthetic skin, can disguise himself as his enemies. Darkman had to apply his artificial skin on himself due to severe burns when his enemies attacked him. The main flaw is it disintegrates when exposed to 99 minutes of sunlight.
