* AnimeHair: [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:Helmetless_Protoman.png In at least one particular piece of artwork,]] he's got huge, pointy hair underneath his helmet. The Archie comics uses this design for his initial appearance, but later portrayals use a smaller, different-looking cut.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Combined with a dose of JapaneseRanguage. In the earlier games, localization for the English speaking territories alternated between rendering his name as Wright, Right, and Light, before ultimately making Light his standardized name. However, Right is still more common in Japanese sources, and thus "DRN" tends to be used over "DLN". Capcom themselves consider both names to be correct, since the name of his ''Battle Network'' counterpart (Tadashi Hikari) translates to [[BilingualBonus Right Light]]. ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' refers to him as Wright, as confirmed by [[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/captain-game-master-original-dr-1834995202 his model sheet]].
* SuddenNameChange: In the early "[[http://themechanicalmaniacs.com/articles/officialGuide.php Official Guide to Mega Man]]", his full name was listed as Dr. Xavier Wright. The same source also referred to Dr. Albert W. Wily as "Dr. ''Jerome'' Wily", making this clearly an example of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.

* Creator/RyotaroOkiayu: His Japanese voice actor in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''. The very same voice actor as Zero in the ''X'' series. Funnily enough, there was once a theory that Zero ''was'' Proto Man.

* DependingOnTheArtist: Roll's eyes are usually blue, but some designs and artists have randomly given her green eyes instead. Unlike most cases, however, as a robot and especially what seems to be a somewhat fashionable girl, it's entirely plausible for her to get the color changed.
