Mega Man (character)

Mega Man (ロックマン, Rockman in Japan), is a peace-keeping humanoid robot built by Dr. Light. He was originally created as a lab assistant named Rock (Mega in new versions), but after Dr. Wily reprogrammed and stole the first six Robot Masters because of his jealousy about Light's success and fame for his robots, Rock volunteered to be modified into a battle robot, and was renamed "Mega Man". He is the "brother" of Roll and Proto Man. He has assistants called Rush, Eddie, Beat and Tango. Megaman is seen as a light of justice in a dark world, he is kindhearted and risks his life for others, even small dogs as seen in the ending of megaman 8.
