Elec Man

"My battles are blindingly beautiful, aren't they?"

- Elec Man

Elec Man (エレキマン) is a Robot Master from the Mega Man classic series. He was built by Dr. Light to control electrical operations. Elec Man manages a nuclear power plant and can personally generate 500,000 volts of electricity. He is very fast and his Thunder Beam can kill Mega Man in three hits (this was changed after Mega Man 3).

He is a playable character in Mega Man: Powered Up, once you beat him for the first time. In that same game, his voice gets a serious makeover since "Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters", as his voice now sounds very noble and calm. At the time of his creation, Elec Man was often hailed as Dr. Light's greatest creation and boasts superhuman calculation speed and razor-sharp judgement, as well as a physical agility that would not be matched for some time. He is very conceited and egotistical, but is otherwise very responsible and competent.

Trivia

 * Elec Man has a cameo appearance in Mega Man 10 as data of the Weapons Archive.
 * Elec Man is Keiji Inafune's favorite Robot Master from the first game, and has stated that his design was inspired by popular X-Man, Wolverine.
 * The top of his mask is black, but on his mug in Mega Man 3, his mask is blue.
 * Elec Man is incorrectly called "Electric Man" in the instruction manual from Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge.
 * The reason Elec Man does not like rubber products is because rubber is an insulator and electricity can not flow through insulators.
 * Elec Man is one of the few Robot Masters in the series with the distinction of having the same color and thickness of forearms as the upper arms.
 * It is assumed that the reason Elec Man's jumpsuit has two different colors (an upper red half, and a lower black half) is because battery chargers also have this color scheme as well, which is quite fitting for an electric-themed Robot Master.
