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.
