Mega Man (Ruby-Spears character)

"I'm as good or better than you Proto Man!"

- Mega Man

Mega Man is the main titular character of the 1994 animated TV series Mega Man. The robotic son of Dr. Thomas Light and brother to Roll, Mega Man fights against his nemesis Dr. Wily, who fights him with his army of Robot Masters and vast array of vehicles.

Overview
Mega Man is a robot built to resemble a tall muscular teenage male with a can-do attitude, sharp wit, and strong sense of justice. He is a kind robot willing to put himself at risk for others and tries his best to not cause harm or destruction to anyone or anything that is innocent or not necessary to win, such as when Mega Man X was willing to destroy anything in the way to take down Vile and Spark Mandrill and Mega Man attempted to get him to stop doing unnecessary damage to the area around them. He is also tactful, and can often outsmart the Robot Masters or Proto Man even when they think they have him beat.

Mega Man, like Proto Man, possesses the ability to copy the weapons of other Robot Masters as long as he can make contact with the weapon and download their schematics, and often uses this ability to gain the upper-hand in a fight. This ability also expands into copying the physical traits of a Robot Master, and at one point he copied Gyro Man’s helicopter blades and Spark Man’s spike and physically formed them onto his body.

Trivia

 * Despite changing colors when using different weapons in the video games, Mega Man doesn’t change color when he copies them in the show. This is because the color change effect would have been too confusing during animation. Instead, when Mega Man copied a weapon, a schematic of the Robot Master’s weapon in the color of the robot (i.e. Snake Man’s weapons schematics were green) would appear on Mega Man’s forehead briefly to the audience to show he copied them shortly before he used them.
 * Unlike in the video game series where Mega Man is portrayed as a young boy, in the show Mega Man is portrayed as a tall muscular teen. This was to appeal to American audiences, as the producers felt a teenager would resonate better than a child.
 * While Mega Man has the Rush Adapter in the video games, he has a wide variety of armors in the show. This was done to sell more toys.
