Apollo Flame

Apollo Flame, known as Apollon Flame in the Japanese version, is a very powerful EM Being from the MegaMan Star Force series. He was born of Le Mu after Dr. Vega awakened it, and is thus very powerful. He is the ruler of the Alternate Dimension, in which he has destroyed most of Earth's life and commands the alternate versions of UMAs and FM-ians, known as IF EM bodies. He has an assistant named General Auriga.

Game History
In MegaMan Star Force 2, Dark Phantom IF tricks Geo and Omega-Xis into opening a portal towards the Alternate Dimension, where they learn about Apollo Flame and his plan to invade the present dimension after he restores his power. Mega Man defeats all of the IF EM Bodies as well as General Auriga, then reaches Apollo Flame and confronts him. Upon defeating Apollo Flame, Geo and Omega-Xis are told to collect the "five badges".

Apollo Flame appears in the secret area of MegaMan Star Force 3, just before the Wave Road into space, this time under the command of another EM Being, Sirius. His resurrection by Sirius left him indebted to him, which is why he aids Sirius in his plot. He attempts to stop MegaMan from proceeding any further towards the Black Hole where Sirius resides, but is defeated.

Abilities

 * Solar Barrier: Apollo Flame has a regenerating barrier that surrounds him. Hitting it with enough damage, using a barrier-removing attack, or hitting it with any water attack will remove the barrier and allow him to be damaged.
 * Prominence Flare: Apollo Flame will summon snake-like flames that will cover different panels on the battlefield. He does this a few times before following it up with another attack.
 * Tornado Flare: Apollo Flame summons three tornadoes that move down each column. One of them has a different timing compared to the others and hence this window of opportunity can be used to dodge the attack. They also cancel Auras and Barriers and cannot be shot through.
 * Solar Flare: Apollo Flame creates a huge ball of fire and hurls it at the player's current position. It strikes a 3x3 area and cannot be blocked. Its breaking attribute is removed in the third game.
 * Zetsumetsu Meteor: Apollo Flame will fire several meteors onto the player's row. Used in the third game.

Trivia

 * Apollo Flame eventually replaces Bass in his role of the bonus superboss, and is later succeeded by Sirius in this role.
 * In Greek mythology, Apollo is the God of the sun, and is the twin brother of Artemis, Goddess of the moon and the hunt.
 * Apollo Flame is the first and only superboss to feature an specific element, while the others are Neutral.
