Ice Man

"There's something dangerous up ahead, sir! Oh? Freeze it at all costs, soldier!"

- Ice Man

Ice Man (アイスマン) is one of the first six (eight in Mega Man Powered Up) Robot Masters from the original Mega Man series. He was built by Dr. Light to perform human-like tasks under extreme climate conditions. This can be done due to the fact he is impervious to chilling sub-zero temperatures. Ice Man is capable of functioning in hot environments, though he is less powerful there. Freeze Man greatly respects him.

Mega Man
Dr. Wily reprogrammed Ice Man and Dr. Light's other industrial robots to help him conquer the world, and Ice Man appears as a boss. In battle, Ice Man uses Ice Slasher several times on a set pattern, but he is defeated by Mega Man.

Mega Man Powered Up
A remake of the first game. Ice Man has a split personality, referring to himself as a soldier (in the first person) and as a commander (in the third person).

Like the original game, Ice Man is a boss that attacks with his Ice Slasher, but his pattern is different. He also has an additional attack were he makes ice stalactites fall; In Normal mode this new attack is used when his life is halved, and in Hard he can use it anytime. If Mega Man defeats Ice Man using only the Mega Buster, he becomes a playable character.

As a playable character, Ice Man can use his Ice Slasher to briefly turn his enemies into frozen blocks. He can then use these blocks as an extra foothold to get to places that other characters cannot reach. In addition to this, Ice Man does not slip on the ice blocks in his stage.

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge
Ice Man appears as a boss, acting similar to his appearance in the first Mega Man game.

Mega Man: The Power Battle
Ice Man is one of the six bosses from the Mega Man 1~2 course. The theme that plays when fighting him is a remix of Freeze Man's stage theme.

Besides his Ice Slasher attack pattern from the first game, Ice Man also attacks by using Ice Slasher several times in the same position or by creating clouds that drop snowflakes that can freeze the player's character.

Mega Man's Soccer
Ice Man is one of the fastest players from the game, alongside Gemini Man and Dr. Wily, but he has the lowest Tackle and Defense. Ice Man don't has his own team, but he is a member of seven teams in Tournament mode and the Mega Man and Cut Man teams in League mode.

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)
Ice Man makes his first appearance in episode 1 of the Mega Man cartoon show, but he doesn't actually speak. He reappears in episode 7, "Ice Age," alongside Air Man in a plot to freeze the entire city. Here, he has a major role, defeating Mega Man, Roll and Rush at least three times across the course of the episode.

He is eventually tricked into fighting against Dr. Wily when Dr. Light convinces him that Wily has betrayed him and replaced him with Air Man. This prompts him to plan a revenge attack against the evil doctor by taking command of a group of powerful "Ice Bots" in episode 7.

Captain N: The Game Master
Ice Man appears in fifth episode.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)
Ice Man is one of the six Robot Masters created by Dr. Light with Dr. Wily's help.

In Let the Games Begin!, Dr. Wily stole Ice Man and other five robots to help him conquer the world. Ice Man took over a water treatment plant and froze the area, but he is defeated by Mega Man. After Dr. Wily is stopped, the six robots are repaired by Dr. Light and they help to repair the city. When Dr. Wily escapes the prison and captures Roll in Time Keeps Slipping, Ice Man and Cut Man help Mega Man search Wily's abandoned fortress for clues, but they only find some robots, one of them being CWU-01P. After leaving the fortress, they reunite with the other four Robot Masters and Roslyn Krantz, finding Wily's hideout and capturing Time Man and Oil Man.

In The Return of Dr. Wily, Ice Man and the other Robot Masters invade the Wily Castle to save Mega Man, who was being controlled by Dr. Wily. In Cold Crush, Ice Man asks Mega Man and Roll to help him with his research, but he only called Roll because he is in love with her, but she is clueless to his feelings.

Mega Man Megamix
Ice Man was originally created by Dr. Light to scout the continent of Antarctica, but having finished his mission there, Ice Man returned and is now working in a large cold storage warehouse. In order to function in harsh environments and extremely cold temperatures, Ice Man's internal circuits are made up of the smallest components available. These small components allow Ice Man to function with the least amount of energy possible, and they are also the reason for his physical form being smaller than usual. The only disadvantage of using these smaller components is their hyperconductivity, and a strong electrical surge like Elec Man's Thunder Beam will easily incapacitate him. Despite his small stature, Ice Man is quite effective in combat.

When Dr. Wily reprogrammed Dr. Light's six robots and tries to conquer the world in The Birth of Mega Man, Mega Man fights against Ice Man inside Wily's mobile fortress, stopping him with Thunder Beam. Ice Man is later repaired by Dr. Light and he helps to stop the fortress. In R Destruction Order, it was decided that the six robots should be destroyed, but Wood Man saves them and convinces Ice Man and Elec Man to join Dr. Wily. Whoever, they actually wanted to find Dr. Wily and knock out Wood Man inside Wily's base. Ice Man freezes Dr. Wily's control panel to stop him from launching more rockets. In the original version of the story from Rockman Remix, he also freezes Reggae.

Ice Man also appears in Mega Man Gigamix.

Other appearances
Ice Man appears in the manga Rockman, Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin, Rockman Battle & Chase, and Rock'n Game Boy.

Trivia



 * Ice Man was the first ice-themed Robot Master, a theme that did not reappear until Mega Man 6 with Blizzard Man.


 * Ice Man is the only Robot Master of the six that are fought in Mega Man to have green eyes.
 * Although Ice Man has green eyes, his Mega Man Powered Up artwork and Rockman ×over sprite depicts him with blue eyes.


 * Ice Man is one of the two ice Robot Masters to have a weapon which is effective on a fire Robot Master (the other being Cold Man).


 * Ice Man was shown in a trailer from Rockman Online.


 * While Hyper Bomb is Ice Man's weakness in Mega Man Powered Up and not in the original NES game, it can still do a considerate amount of damage to him in Mega Man.


 * Ice Man is one of the shortest Robot Masters.


 * In the cartoon show's intro, Mega Man defeats Ice Man with Fire Storm in one hit. Another irony even occurs in the commercial for Rockman on Famicom, where Mega Man also defeats Ice Man with Fire Storm, thus, contradicting his actual weakness in the game.
