Bubble Man

Bubble Man (バブルマン) is the first aquatic Robot Master created by Dr. Wily for underwater combat. However, a defect in his system makes him unable to walk underwater, being only able to move by jumping. After seeing this, Wily couldn't help but laugh at his way of moving. Despite this flaw, Bubble Man is able to swim.

Bubble Man attacks with normal shots from his arm cannon, and can shoot Bubble Lead shots from his arm cannon and the gun on the top of his head. Bubble Lead are durable bubbles mixed with sulfuric acid that can be used for several purposes, like hitting opponents with small bubbles, wrapping opponents inside large bubbles, or protecting Bubble Man himself.

 * Bubble Man and Flash Man were the only two Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 not to appear in the animated series.
 * The Megamix version of Bubble Man has his arm cannon on his right arm instead of his left arm, his arm cannon has a harpoon and he has a W on his knees and his belt.
 * In Mega Man 2, his arm cannon is on his right arm, but in the artwork, Power Fighters, and the Mega Man & Bass CD data, his cannon is on his left arm.
