Gravity Man

Gravity Man (グラビティーマン) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily. He has the ability to control gravity with the unit installed in his body. In Mega Man 5, he occupied an anti-gravity institute and used it against Mega Man. His only offensive weapon is a weak arm cannon; therefore, he relies on his gravity manipulation abilities. Gravity Hold, Gravity Man's special ability, crushes a target with 20 times Earth gravity, then antigravity of the same intensity. During their confrontations, Mega Man's strength and durability allowed him to operate unhindered by Gravity Hold's intensity, until Gravity Man used his ability to change his own gravity and then fall like a heavy weight onto Mega Man.

Trivia

 * Gravity Man's quote, "yet the earth does move", is derived from Galileo Galilei's phrase "And yet it moves!".


 * Gravity Man is the only Robot Master from Mega Man 5 that didn't reappear as a boss in any other Mega Man game.


 * The reason why Gravity Man dislikes outer space is because there is barely any gravity in space.
