Fake Man

Fake Man (フェイクマン) is a fake police robot that appears as the boss of the "Special Stage" from Mega Man 9 that became available on October 20, 2008. In the game's main content, Fake Man makes an appearance in Dr. Wily's fortress. Wily claims that he was the police robot that arrested Dr. Light, but Proto Man proves correct in assuming that the "Dr. Light" Wily has captive is the robot Wily used to make the fake video released to the press. Thus, Fake Man did not arrest Light, and, in fact, Light was arrested by the real police, who release him once Mega Man delivers the memory circuit to them.

In the "Special Stage," Mega Man must traverse a city landscape and face difficult enemies and several of the mini-bosses and bosses found in the main content of Mega Man 9 as he makes his way to the lair of Dr. Light's "arresting officer."

Fake Man himself is very agile and uses a Gatling-Gun style weapon to rapidly fire projectiles at Mega Man. His gun can angle itself, allowing him to fire it in multiple directions. However, if Mega Man uses the Jewel Satellite weapon, he can reflect his shots back at him and deliver a heavy amount of damage to him.



Trivia

 * Note that Fake Man is the name of the fake police robots created by Dr. Wily, not the real ones.
 * It is unknown what Fake Man's serial number is, or if he even has one, but it is speculated by fans he is part of the DWN series, most likely DWN. 073, because at the end of Fake Man's "Special Stage" from the Downloadable Content, before the Boss Room, there is a Dr. Wily sign.
 * Another point to note is that there is in fact at least 2 Fake Mans (Fake Men?) as evidenced by the ending scenes of Mega Man 9. Thus, it is likely that Fake Man is more similar to Dark Man or the Doc Robots and do not have a Wily Serial Number.  Further Evidence is the fact that Mega Man does not receive his power when he is defeated cuz he is a git.
