Elec Man

"Do your worst, but I find it hard to believe that such a low-voltage robot like you can defeat me."

- Elec Man

Elec Man (エレキマン) is a Robot Master from the Mega Man classic series. He was built by Dr. Light to control electrical operations. Elec Man manages a nuclear power plant and can personally generate 500,000 volts of electricity. He is very fast and his powerful Thunder Beam can destroy Mega Man in three hits (this was changed after Mega Man 3).

Elec Man becomes a playable character in Mega Man Powered Up, if he's beaten using only the Mega Buster. In that same game, his personality gets a serious makeover since Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, as he is now very calm and noble, albeit arrogant and somewhat overdramatic. At the time of his creation, Elec Man was often hailed as Dr. Light's greatest creation and boasts superhuman calculation speed and razor-sharp judgment, as well as a physical agility that would not be matched for some time. He is very conceited and egotistical, but is otherwise very responsible and competent.

Trivia

 * Elec Man has a cameo appearance in Mega Man 10 as data of the Weapons Archive.


 * Elec Man is Keiji Inafune's favorite Robot Master from the first game, because he was the first robot he ever designed.


 * Elec Man is incorrectly called "Electric Man" in the instruction manual from Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge.


 * Elec Man is one of the few Robot Masters in the series with the distinction of having the same color and thickness of forearms as the upper arms.


 * It is assumed that the reason Elec Man's jumpsuit has two different colors (an upper red half, and a lower black half) is because battery chargers also have this color scheme as well, which is quite fitting for an electric-themed Robot Master.


 * In Mega Man Megamix, he is slashed in the chest twice. First by Mega Man in "The Birth of Mega Man" with a Rolling Cutter, and again by Quick Man's Quick Boomerang sword in "R Destruction Order".


 * Elec Man shouts "Thunder Bolt!" in Mega Man: Powered Up just before unleashing his special attack. However, his special attack is more similar to the Lightning Bolt. To make it even more confusing his Thunder Beam looks more like a Thunder Bolt in Powered Up.


 * Elec Man's level theme sounds very similar to "Faithfully" by Journey.
