Compass Man

Compass Man is one of the six powerful Robot Masters created by R-Shadow known as the Dimensions, who traveled from the year 2052 with the purpose of destroying Rockman, Dr. Light, Forte, and Dr. Wily. As such he is part of the DMN Series (DiMension Number) of Robot Masters.

Like some of the other Dimensions, Compass Man's name might be deceiving, making him sound pathetic, but he is quite a powerful foe. R-Shadow designed him based on Dr. Wily's Sword Man (Mega Man 8), a robot whose body had two parts to it. Compass Man separates his torso from his legs and spins around the room, slicing at opponents with his deadly blade hands, while his legs will try to corner his "prey" and do even more damage. Compass Man, like the Clock Men, is a very mobile adversary, and thus is weakened and slowed down by Aircon Man's Barrier Wind and Forte Cyclone attacks.

Strangely, Compass Man does not give Rockman or Forte a weapon upon his defeat.

Trivia

 * In the game, Compass Man's name is actually spelled as "Compas Man." It is unknown whether this was a typographical error, a mistranslation (from Japanese to English characters), or whether it was intentional.
