Hard Man

Hard Man (ハードマン) is a Robot Master that was created by Dr. Wily. He has a hard, durable exterior made of ceratanium, making him rather heavy. He was originally built for construction work. He can fire his hands, known as Hard Knuckles, and he has a cannon inside of his body. Due to his excessive weight, he can stomp the ground and cause a tremor, much to Mega Man's dismay.

In Super Adventure Rockman he is revived by Ra Moon.When Mega Man enters a garden-like place in the Temple of the Moon he drops from the ceiling,trying to smash Mega Man,but he dodges him. Then Hard Man gets his head stuck in the ground, and the player has to defeat him. After the battle he falls into pieces and acid starts to flood the room, melting Hard Man's parts, but later he is revived again by Ra Moon.
