Hard Man

Hard Man (ハードマン) is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. Originally built for land grading, he has a hard, durable exterior made of ceratanium, making him very heavy, weighing about three tons. He can fire his hands, known as Hard Knuckles, and has a cannon inside of his body, giving him the boost needed to jump. Due to his excessive weight, he can stomp the ground and cause a tremor, much to Mega Man's dismay.

In Super Adventure Rockman, he was revived by Ra Moon. When Mega Man enters a garden-like place in the Temple of the Moon, Hard Man drops from the ceiling trying to crush him. Hard Man gets his head stuck in the ground, and the player must defeat him. After the battle, he falls to pieces and acid begins to flood the room, melting Hard Man's parts. He is later revived by Ra Moon again.
