BrightMan.EXE

BrightMan.EXE is an enemy NetNavi that appears in Mega Man Network Transmission. He also appears in the anime MegaMan NT Warrior Axess as a Darkloid and again in Rockman.EXE Stream as an Asteroid Navi.

Mega Man Network Transmission
BrightMan was given the fake vaccine for the Zero Virus. He goes on a rampage in the Shopping District where he is fought by MegaMan. After being defeated, he is jacked out and cured. It is unknown who his operator is, but dialog between Lan and Higsby indicates he does have one. Although not specified, it is stated that BrightMan's operator runs one of the shops in the Shopping District.

BrightMan will employ his BrightShield after any attack is rendered, whether or not it hits him. If the player shoots above BrightMan, BrightMan will taunt with his BrightShield already up. However, the BrightShield is only up for a couple of seconds. He lowers his guard shortly after putting down the BrightShield, giving the player a chance to attack directly. When Brightman is defeated, the player will receive either a RemoPlug battle chip or BrightMan battle chip.

Anime History
BrightMan has two different counterparts in the anime. The first is a Darkloid in MegaMan NT Warrior Axess who serves under ShadeMan (and later LaserMan) in an attempt to destroy the world and make it a place for Darkloids. The second is an Asteroid Navi who is given by Slur to a local criminal named Ken in episode 27 of Rockman.EXE Stream.
