CutMan first appeared in the end of the episode "The Virus Factory", where he warns MegaMan about Grave. Only his hand can be seen.

In the episode "Countdown to Catastrophe!", CutMan defeats QuickMan in Okuden Valley shortly after his failure; CutMan is then made short work of afterwards.



Later in the episode "CutMan Brothers!", it's shown he has five brothers known as the "CutMan Brothers". They are named Vinny, Sammy, Jerry, Joey, and Nicky. In Japan they are respectively known as Jirō, Saburō, Shirō, Gorō, and Rokurō (二郎, 三郎, 四郎, 五郎, and 六郎). An elder CutMan (カットマン長老) tells them an evil NetNavi called MegaMan deleted CutMan for no reason and cheated in the battle, throwing sand into his eyes. The CutMan Brothers, believing that MegaMan is evil, want to defeat him to avenge their fallen brother Cutman Tarō (カットマン太郎) and protect the world. They manage to ambush MegaMan and continuously attack him with papercuts, but are eventually defeated. The CutMan Brothers also appear in "The NetMobile Grand Prix!", where their repeated attempts at getting revenge fail miserably.

CutMan and the five CutMan Brothers have Zoanoroid versions that appear in episode 22 and serve Falzar. They are basically the same as their original counterparts including CutMan being deleted and five brothers wanting to avenge him. Strangely enough, they claim to serve Falzar, yet their still wear the CutMan crest on their chests rather than a Falzar crest. In addition, they do not seem to have the ability to Beast Out, despite receiving massive amounts of damage.

MegaMan NT Warrior
In chapter 4 from volume 4, Grave prepared a trap in the luxury cruise ship S.S. Queen Ocean. The Grave NetNavis CutMan, QuickMan, MagnetMan, KnightMan and FreezeMan appear to fight against ProtoMan, outnumbering him. When Kei Yūki removes the safety lock from Lan's PET, he is able to Jack-in and MegaMan helps ProtoMan defeat the five NetNavis. In the next chapter, the fragments of the five Navis merged into the giant beast Grave.

Trivia

 * In the anime, CutMan and his brothers only has two fingers, even though his official artwork and game appearance show him with five. Their fingers are resemblant to that of the scissor blade.
 * In the English anime, Scott McNeil voices the entire CutMan family, including the elder.
 * The CutMan Brothers are the only NetNavis in the anime series that have individual names, possibly because all of them (almost) share the same design as the original CutMan.EXE, with some small differences.
 * In the 38th episode of MegaMan NT Warrior, the CutMan Brothers were defeated by MegaMan using HeatGuts Style. This is a reference to the original Cut Man whose weakness is the original Guts Man's ability.
