more cruft. Had my search bar set to \"match case\" which makes searching case sensitve. also unlike superman, there is a space between the \"(word)\" and \"man\". Finally, using a nickname (unless both his nickname and name are stated) of a character in examples can confuse people. Quint is fine, because it is like calling a guy named Jeffrey \"Jeff\".

It features various flash forwards to possible futures, and [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man, the un-super prototype's SplitPersonality may be a Stardroid from one such future. The series is memorable for showing an Alternate AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Mega Man as a rapidly learning robot, rather than an ice cream loving dumb-bot. It's also notable for showing all sides in the conflict as having a rather good learning curve. The second storyline likewise has a more worldly feel as various factions of {{Red Shirt}}s and world governments try to take steps to reverse engineer and use the robot technology, all while Wily gains some impressive technological advantages of his own and Mega Man and Dr. Light struggle to keep pace.
The humor is based on the character's idiosyncrasies: be it Heat Man's laziness, Ice Man's [[TheDitz playful ditziness]], or the RedShirtArmy's utter (and GenreBlind) expendability. It also lapses into author commentary by Disgruntled Ferret, and POV pieces of minor bit characters like "Brave Core", an awakened Sniper Joe who thinks he's Brave Heart... for robots!

A SpriteComic on the ''BobAndGeorge'' Web site that retells the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' storyline, incorporating obscure characters from the Game Boy, PC and WonderSwan games as well as original characters. It starts from the beginning collaboration between Wily and Light, details the creation of two prototypes (only one of which is [[SuperPrototype Super)]] and Mega Man's battles to bring down Wily.
It features various flash forwards to possible futures, and [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man, the un-super prototype's SplitPersonality may be a Stardroid from one such future. The series is memorable for showing an Alternate AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Mega Man as a rapidly learning robot, rather than an ice cream loving dumb-bot. It's also notable for showing all sides in the conflict as having a rather good learning curve. The second storyline likewise has a more worldly feel as various factions of {{Red Shirt}}s and world governments try to take steps to reverse engineer and use the robot technology, all while Wily gains some impressive technological advantages of his own and Mega Man and Dr. Light struggle to keep pace.
The humor is based on the character's idiosyncrasies: be it Heat Man's laziness, Ice Man's [[TheDitz playful ditziness]], or the RedShirtArmy's utter (and GenreBlind) expendability. It also lapses into author commentary by Disgruntled Ferret, and POV pieces of minor bit characters like "Brave Core", an awakened Sniper Joe who thinks he's Brave Heart... for robots!
Has absolutely no relation to MSPaintAdventures.

----
'''This Webcomic has examples of the following tropes:'''
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler: Enker's spear.]]
** [[spoiler: The Harmony Support Units (And the robots they take over) are weak to Cut Man. Which leads to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for him - he fires the Rolling Cutter and gets blasted by Mega Man, but uses the Rolling Cutter's BoomerangComeback effect to hit Mega Man anyway and break him free of the Harmonies.]]
* {{Acrofatic}}: Wood Man.
* AdaptationDistillation
* AGodAmI: Electric Man. [[spoiler:Good thing he's a good guy.]]
* AffablyEvil: Wily and Quintet.
** Not really surprising, considering who Quintet [[FutureMeScaresMe used to be]].
* AlternateUniverse: A number of alternate timelines are shown as side-stories. [[spoiler: As X explains in a filler, there's only one ''actual'' timeline, and when you mess with time travel, you destroy the projected one, which is what Wily's up to between the first and second games.]]
* AnachronicOrder: A few climactic fight sequences (Mega Man Vs. Dr. Wily, Mega Man Vs. Spike Man, [[spoiler:Atlas Vs. Crash Man]]) are skipped over to be recapped later.
* AndIMustScream: Played for laughs for a few strips in the second game adaption when Reset Man's AI is placed in a storage device.
* AnimatedActors: Used in [[NoFourthWall Fourth Wall breaking]] fillers with Disgruntled Ferret interacting with the cast. Hilariously done with Metal Man [[spoiler: [[HostileShowTakeover taking over the strip]] from Disgruntled Ferret]] in a massive show of hubris.
* AnyoneCanDie: And does. [[spoiler:Even Mega Man.]]
** Though to quote the author, robots can just kinda get over death like a bad hangover as long as they have a roboticist handy.
* ArcWords: The phrase "happy ending" makes multiple appearances throughout ''No Future''.
** It's used [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic321.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic539.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic866.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1000.png and here]].
* ArtEvolution: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic003.png It started like this.]] [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic891.png Now it kinda looks like this.]]
** And now it looks like ''[[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic973.png this]].''
* AscendedExtra: [[strike:All]] ''Most'' of the Robot Masters get bigger roles than they did in the original games, but Electric Man got this the most.
* BadassGrandpa: Dr. Light, oh so very much.
* BadassInDistress: Small and temporary example when [[spoiler: Flash Man tries to kidnap Dr. Light. Being a squishy human, Dr. Light still needs help, but is still able to contribute to his escape.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: [[MauveShirt Fodder Force]] [[NoNameGiven Redheaded Guy]], Cutman, and [[FailureKnight Enker]]]]; due to Doctor Light's attempt at changing the timeline.
* BagOfSpilling: Subverted everywhere. Mega Man, GenreSavvy enough to realize this might happen, attempts to keep his weapons from the first game by saving them on a computer, but Dr. Light finds out and deletes them just before Wily attacks. Then Mega Man loses some more of his abilities when he [[spoiler:dies.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''[[PostMortemOneLiner "Don't threaten Dr. Light!!"]]''
** Bears noting that that is one of ''many'' instances. Mega Man is the nicest guy you could meet, but if you threaten ''any'' innocent people, or worse, actually kill people, he will '''fuck you up'''.
* BigDamnHeroes: Ice Man and Elec Man, after Mega Man gets nearly killed by Quintet. Ferret's Commentary notes [[InvokedTrope Elec Man would have arrived sooner, but was waiting for the proper dramatic moment.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Mega Man in [[http://ferretcomic.com/1040 this strip]].
* BlatantLies: All of Dr. Wily's machines are for mining. Really.
* BondOneLiner: Many. Subverted on one occasion, when a badly-damaged Mega Man tries to do one after delivering the fatal blow, but passes out before he can finish.
* BoringButPractical
-->'''Electric Man''': Yeah, turned out I couldn't use the Thunder Beam to escape, so I just punched the glass.
* BloodKnight: Quick Man.
--> Reader: Excited when we lose, grumpy when we win. That's Quick Man.
** Allegro, the eponymous Greatest Killer, also falls into this.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Wily snuck in virus type programming into all the original robot master's to get them to defect. The POV comics with Cut Man's desperate struggles to remain himself are... disturbing and heartbreaking. Then you have the likes of Ice Man jumping headfirst into it and helping to spread the MindControl.
** Also, [[spoiler: anyone under Quintet's MindControl or using one of his support units.]]
* BuffySpeak: Disgruntled Ferret likes to play around with grammar and tenses. The page pic is an example.
* ButtMonkey: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man.
* CallForward: Dr. Wily utilises custom microchips to reprogram robots and bring them under his control, warping their personalities along the way; this is a precursor to his eventual Maverick Virus as seen in the X series.
** A few future Lightbots showed the ability to "Dark Morph" and gain the abilities/appearance of other Robot Master models; some have speculated this to be a reference to the Doc Robot (of Mega Man 3) and Dark Man (of Mega Man 5).
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: One tends to forget that the wise and badass Dr. Light started the comic as somewhat [[http://ferretcomic.com/30 incompetent]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/54 inattentive]] and [[http://ferretcomic.com/4 alcoholic]].
* ChekhovsGunman: Guts Man was stated, several hundred comics ago, to have been kidnapped with Electric Man and Fire Man, and hasn't been seen since he was destroyed several years before ''that''. He finally shows up in comic #1001.
* TheChewToy: Metal Man. He deserves it, though, considering he trash talks everyone.
* CloningBlues: Copy-Mega Man becomes quite violent when others imply he's not the "real" Mega Man. He was assembled from field data acquired by Enker, so he possesses some combat skill. He lacks the drive of the original, though.
** He also doesn't know that Mega Man is the battle mode of Rock, likely due to Wily's ignorance of that fact.
* CloudCuckooLander: Ice Man, most definitely. Bubble Man, too.
** Harmony-infected robots are rather like this as well. [[strike: Metal Man]] Blade Man is like this in spades, as he will alternate between HotBlooded and NonSequitur at the drop of a hat.
** This seems to be true of Harmonized robots in general. As observed in the comic:
-->'''Heat Man''', [[http://ferretcomic.com/764 regarding Harmonized Fire Man]]: Wow. On the retard scale of 1 to 10, this guy's a J.
** Disgruntled Ferret himself offers this little insight into Harmony's effect on robots:
--> [[http://ferretcomic.com/1016 I like to think of the Harmonized robots' attitude as around the same range as someone that donates corpses to charity. Sure it's technically for a good cause, but you're being stupid and terrifying.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Dr. Light. [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] in the making, practices [[StreetFighter martial arts]] [[strike: in his spare time]] to stay fit, and shot [[TheDragon Enker]] in the face.
* CoolShades: Employed by Quintet, Reader, Writer, Allegro and even Dr. Wily.
* CosmicPlaything: Reset Man.
--> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' Reset Man looks so happy that the creepy robot is getting what's coming to him. I don't like Reset Man being happy.
** Mega Man, too.
--> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' It's kind of irritating that at this point I can blow off Mega Man's arm and he's barely even annoyed. I like torturing characters, and he's taking away my fun here.
* CranialProcessingUnit: Averted. At one point, Crash Man and Heat Man discuss this trope when it's revealed that Crash Man's CPU is in a different location than the head(which was reserved for [[MoreDakka More Explosives]]. Guess what happens, or rather, ''doesn't'' happen when Mega Man slices off Crash Man's head.
** Played straight earlier, where a future Rock kills Allegro by stabbing him in the face. He then {{Lampshade| Hanging}}s it, saying if ''he'' made robots, he'd put the brain someplace else, like in the butt.
* CurbstompBattle: Several, usually when the Robot Masters fight humans, but [[http://ferretcomic.com/812 Electric Man versus Metal Man]] stands out.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Quint.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: Cut Man.]]
---> [[spoiler: Cut Man]]: '''Point'''less? That's some bad choice, log guy. I, [[spoiler: Cut Man]], am never ever ever ever ever '''EVER''' pointless!
* {{Determinator}}: Crash Man is able to continue fighting [[OffWithHisHead without his head]] or arm.
** Atlas can shrug off being buried under tons of rubble [[spoiler: and take Crash Man's weapon barrage until his energy shield is broken]].
** Subverted with Mega Man's first fight against Metal Man and Quick Man.
---> Mega Man: [[spoiler: '''Yahoo!''' I died and I '''still''' won!]]
** Quintet's weakness is that, compared to Mega Man, [[AvertedTrope he]] ''[[AvertedTrope isn't]]'' [[AvertedTrope this.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: During Heat Man's fight with the Guts Dozer we see Wily working on what looks like Punk, the second Mega Man Killer.]]
** It's implied he's [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1049.png been around a lot longer.]]
** The Greatest Killer side-story saw the brief appearance of Rush, albeit an orange version. [[ShootTheDog Allegro severely damages him.]]
* EliteMooks: The Red Sniper Joes. [[spoiler: Mega Man almost gets killed the first time he fights them.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Quintet refuses to attack his creator [[spoiler:Dr. Light.]]
* FailureKnight: Enker, in the second major arc.
* {{Filler}}: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archive.php?comic=431 DF likes to take this trope to]] SerialEscalation[[http://bobandgeorge.com/paint/461 levels]]. "Full Metal Recolor" may be the most notable example.
* ForeverWar: The future according to Quintet.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Oodles of it. Proper list forthcoming.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Quintet.
* GeneralRipper: Captain Fodder.
* GenreSavvy: Rock/Mega Man. Attempts to avoid the BagOfSpilling (That [[ButThouMust occurs anyway]]) and a frequent source of LampshadeHanging throughout the comic.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Played with. Mega Man is so [[IncorruptiblePurePureness good]] that he has two good angels on either side in his internal monologue. Lampshades it by asking [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/749 'Aren't one of you supposed to be an evil conscience?']]
* GretzkyHasTheBall: Intentionally used when Mega Man and Ice Man start goofing off. Mega Man claims Ice Man almost got a hole in one - while they were hitting a basketball with a baseball bat.
* GroinAttack: Mega Man to Quick Man.
* HamToHamCombat: The battle between Elec Man and Air Man. Both literal and figurative combat.
* HandsomeLech: Zero, as a running gag in the Filler strips.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Electric Man]]
* HeroicWannabe: Cut Man.
* HighClassGlass: Referenced by [[SmugSuper Electric Man.]]
--> "If I were any classier I'd need a monocle."
* HotBlooded: A side effect of using [[spoiler: Quintet's support units.]]
** Lampshaded in [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/966 this]] title. [[BadassGrandpa Doctor Light]] shows us how its done [[ThisIsADrill old school]].
* HumongousMecha: Daidigger D, of course.
** The Mecha Dragon of ''Mega Man 2'' fame has recently arrived on the scene.
* IndyPloy: Mega Man's plan for ''everything''. The fact that one robot decimated his armies with this tactic is the final nail in the coffin for Wily's VillainousBreakdown.
* InformedAbility: Reader states that [[BloodKnight Quick Man]] is the strongest of Wily's 8, but we only ever see him fight Mega Man (not counting the soldiers he massacres, as well as [[spoiler: the last member of the Fodder Force]]). We do, however, see Crash Man leveling entire military bases and buildings due to the [[MoreDakka sheer volume of his firepower]], not to mention the fact that [[spoiler: he manages to defeat Atlas twice]].
* InsaneTrollLogic
-->'''Mega Man''': When I fight, the ones who take damage are me and the enemy. If I've ''already'' taken damage, that means the enemy has to take ''more'' for things to balance out.\\
'''Dr. Light''': [[{{Facepalm}} I... that... ...Just go back to the lab, Mega Man]].
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1019.png Quintet has a dragon!]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: There are [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/381 Wild Ninja Colonies]] in [[TheVerse Ferretverse]] with the enemy ninja sprites from LiveALive. Don't forget your [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/670 Ninja Repellent]].
* JediMindTrick: A secondary function of the Thunder Beam.
** Quintet is also capable of doing this to the Robot Masters of the Wily 8. It's possibly a sign that he helped Wily construct them, using his knowledge of more advanced future robotics.
* {{Jerkass}}: Colonel Fodder. The cast page even lists him as LawfulEvil.
** Metal Man and Flash Man are arrogant douches as well, as evidenced by the fact that they're the only ones who swear on a regular basis.
** Ferret has shades of this too, along with SmugSnake. Odd, seeing as he's the AuthorAvatar.
** Mega Man is fond of calling Enker a "big, dumb jerk", which is a pretty apt description of the guy.
* TheJuggernaut: Atlas.
* JustAMachine: Dr. Wily subscribes to this school of thought.
* KickTheDog: A number, most notably Wily berating Enker for asking WhyDontYouJustShootHim, Allegro killing an alternate version of Rush, and [[spoiler: Quick Man casually killing the last of the Fodder Force Uber Team.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Fire Man, [[spoiler: after being defeated in Harmony Mode and short-circuiting in water.]]
* LargeHam: It's easier to mention who ''isn't'' this in this comic. Everyone gets their moments of this. Even ''Dr. Light''.
** ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Especially]]'' [[HumongousMecha Dr.]] [[BadassGrandpa Light]].
* LaserBlade: Allegro.
* LazyBum: Heat Man is the personification of this trope.
--> "A job where I do nothing all day long? I approve."
** Although with Quintet's [[MindControl hostile takeover]] of his brothers Wood Man and Flash Man in [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png Comic #1003]], [[ThisMeansWar he may no longer]] [[LetsGetDangerous be as lazy]].
---> '''Heat Man:''' It's just '''too much work''' to do stuff for Quintet's personal agenda.
*** It's established that [[JustifiedTrope The reason for his laziness is an unstable power core]] [[IncendiaryExponent that, upon over-exertion, sets himself and anything nearby on fire.]]
**** Not just any old power core - ''he's powered by an [[spoiler: unstable nuclear bomb.]]''
* LovableCoward: Reset Man.
* MadScientist: Dr. Albert Wily
** DisgruntledFerret also considers Dr. Light to be a "good Mad Scientist".
* MauveShirt: All members of the Fodder Force Uber Team.
* MindScrew: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man's corrupted data, and the mini-arc "Dumb Nonsense."
* MoodWhiplash: The sorry state of Enker in the "Too Serious" side-story is just ''depressing''.
* MoreDakka:
** Crash Man's entire Modus Operandi.
** Mega Man becomes a force to be reckoned with once he gains several Robot Master weapons.
** Quick Man's boomerangs are even accompanied by a "dakka" sound.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Crash Man is called "the Destroyer", and for [[BeamSpam good]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre reason]].
* NewEraSpeech:
---> '''Wily:''' Everything will be Mined. All Mined.
** Also counts as IncrediblyLamePun, considering he was fooling Light at first by passing off his original plans as mining robots. Even the Wily Machine.
* NoodleImplements: Did you know you could build a DeathRay with little more than a [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png cell phone and a paper clip]]?
* NonActionGuy: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man
* NoNameGiven: The fourth member of [[WeAreTeamCannonFodder The Fodder Force: Uber Squad]]
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Completely averted. After the first major arc, several other organizations are reverse engineering their own robots, including their own Robot Masters.
* NotWorthKilling: Quick Man lets a deactivated Mega Man live under these reasons. Of course, when he finds out the Blue Bomber ''is'' worth killing, [[BloodKnight his reaction is quite positive.]]
* [[BreakingTheFourthWall Nuking The Fourth Wall]]: The Atomic Dragon's attack in [[http://ferretcomic.com/1031 this comic]] is so powerful it vaporizes the comic's boundary frame between the third and fourth panel.
* OffWithHisHead: Crash Man in "Live and Learn"[[hottip:* :It doesn't stick]], and more fatally, [[spoiler: Roll]] in "Too Serious".
* OneManArmy: Mega Man fits this until the second game kicks in. Crash Man is a definite example, reminding Wood Man that he had enough ammunition to level the city in a blind and deaf rage. Blind and deaf due to ''[[ImplacableMan missing]]'' ''[[OffWithHisHead his head]]'' at the time.
* OnlyMostlyDead: When a robots is destroyed, it can be rebuilt without much trouble, so long as the memory chip is intact.
* PaperThinDisguise: When sending robots into the field, the military just gives them a hat for disguise. Or in Atlas' case, a hat and a BadassLongcoat.
* PetTheDog: Wood Man's guilt over killing humans, and Quintet coming to Enker's defense.
* PsychoForHire: Allegro.
* PsychoSerum: The Harmony support units.
* RecurringCharacter: A somewhat HotBlooded Sniper Joe that Mega Man reprogrammed with Thunder Beam by the nickname of "Bravecore" occasionally shows up.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Averted. Early "Ferret-vision" comics aside, Dr. Light's genius and affinity with robotics is very obvious ''and'' beneficial to the heroes. He first helped out the US army during the first major finale (the siege on Skull Castle), which would later come round to bite him in the arse. Since then he's been an even bigger asset to Mega Man, re-building him more than once, inventing his new Support Unit, revamping and bringing in a good-old [[HumongousMecha giant mecha]] into battle and even ''rewinding time''.
* ResistanceIsFutile: Said by Quintet [[http://ferretcomic.com/1003 here]].
* RetCon: In Ferret vision, there was Polka. Now that Disgruntled Ferret is paying attention, there is Reset Man. Proto Man also no longer goes by the name Blues anymore.
** More generally, everything involving Light and Wily from the early, silly strips was seemingly dropped from canon once the comic got serious and flashbacks now reveal rising tensions between the two (and Light's idiocy is completely dropped).
*** Interestingly, Dr. Wily mentions that Light made Wily Machine 1 for him in strip number 972.
* TheReveal: Reader [[spoiler: is Future Roll]].
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: General Spearcarrier initially mistakes Roll for a human girl, much as Lieutenant Gunnady mistakes Mega Man for a little boy. Also, the robots bleed. In Electric Man's case, they [[http://ferretcomic.com/208 bleed a lot]].
* RuleOfCool: Another favorite of Disgruntled Ferret. Quote from commentary below:
---> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' (Regarding [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic958.png this comic]]) In the Game Boy game where Mega Man uses it, I think Mirror Buster is just a shield that can bounce shots, but instead I made it this thing that absorbs attacks and fires them back as some kind of converted blast. Why? [[StuffBlowingUp Because explosions.]]
---> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic973.png These things are not about practicality. I daresay it might be exactly the opposite.]]
* ScaryBlackMan: Colonel Fodder
* ScheduleSlip: Combined with loads and loads of Filler, and long story arcs. It'll probably be awhile before we get to Mega Man 3... but we're getting there.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Being the epitome of laziness, Heat Man [[http://ferretcomic.com/889 says something along these lines.]]
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Air Man, but piss him off and he defaults to a ''much'' cruder way off speaking, meaning that he probably invokes this trope intentionally.
* ShootingSuperman: The military with regular weapons or the E1s against any of the Robot Masters.
--->"''Targets sustain no damge from shot. Calculating...''"
--->"''Conclusion: cannot retreat. Keep firing out of spite.''"
* {{Shoryuken}}: [[spoiler: Mega Man, err, [[MegaManning Mega Mans]] Doctor Light's [[{{Shotoclone}} Shotokan Karate]] against [[CoolShip The Wily Machine]].]]
* ShoutOut: To ''{{Gundam}}'' about once every 150 strips.
---> '''Mega Man:''' Whoa. [[{{GGundam}} My hand is glowing with an awesome power.]]
---> '''Mega Man:''' Take ''this''! Your ammo, your energy, and all of your stupid hate!
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/1069 And the title of this comic.]]
** Also, the comic titles for the "Too Serious" arc reference other fancomics set in 21XX from the BobAndGeorge Forums.
*** This troper specifically noticed a few. 'Randomocity' is shouting out to ''Randomness''. 'A Misadventure' is from ''Plauge's Misadventures''.
** A recurring filler character is the AuthorAvatar the ''Randomness'''s author, iX.
** The resemblance is very loose, but [[spoiler: Dr. Light's HumongousMecha]] seems very [[GurrenLagann drill happy]]...
*** That might not be, but this definitely is:
---> Air Man: Even if Heaven itself forgives your shenanigans, I, Air Man, will not!
** Daidigger D is a Super Robot reference bonanza, like the Name Letter nomenclature on top of [[http://ferretcomic.com/1060 this commentary]]
---> With Daidigger D, [[MazingerZ you can become a god or a devil]]... of mining and construction.
** Castlevania gets one, too:
---> '''Enker:''' What is Electric Man? [[{{Castlevania}} A miserable pile of circuits.]]
** [=DisgruntledFerret=] recently made [[http://ferretcomic.com/1021 a filler comic]] that shows everyone from the BobAndGeorge forums who have made a cameo appearance.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/890 Cutman's viral/Harmony form]] appears to be directly lifted from [[http://www.cutstuff.net/ Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch]] [[http://a.imageshack.us/img830/2410/zavie.png creator CutmanMike's avatar character.]]
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/747 I AM]] [[ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink ERROR]].
** Instead of being referred to as a "Mega Man Killer", Enker instead goes by the title of [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic162.png "Mega Man Hunter"]]. Possibly as a nod to the [[VideoGame/MegaManX X-Hunters and Maverick Hunters]], possibly just to sound less silly.
** In good anime fan tradition, [[http://ferretcomic.com/249 there's one]] for ''FistOfTheNorthStar,'' complete with the classic 'YouAreAlreadyDead' catchphrase.
* ShownTheirWork[=/=]MythologyGag: Ferret clearly knows his classic series Mega Man. Although the majority of humans are (probably) original, startlingly few of the ''robots'' aren't from an actual source.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/516 That electricity spewing robot?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Volt_Man Volt Man]] from the awful Mega Man DOS game.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/517 That Air Man lookalike]] that everyone believes turns into Air Man? [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Wave_Man_(PC) Wave Man]]([[NamesTheSame Not THAT Wave Man]]) of the equally bad Mega Man 3 DOS.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/938 That really badass robot Metal Man turns into?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_Man_(PC) Blade Man from the same game.]]
*** [[http://ferretcomic.com/1014 Hey there]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Oil_Man_%28PC%29 Oil Ma-]], I mean, Flash Man.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/530 These two guys?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Compass_Man Compass Man]] and [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Konro_Man Konro Man]] from the [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Rockman_and_Forte:_Challenger_From_the_Future Wonderswan game]].
** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/508 This guy]] in the last panel is [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Aircon_Man Aircon Man]], also from ''Challengers of the Future''.
** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic567.png This Robot Master]] may or may not be [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Torch_Man Torch Man.]] He's seen [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic577.png doing some welding later on]]. His appearance seems based on the PC version's in-game sprite rather than the mugshot.
** Enker and Quint(et) from the Gameboy games could also qualify. Although significantly more well known than the previous robots, they are still quite obscure.
*** Let it be known that Enker showed up in this comic long before(''years'' before even) he was revealed to appear in ''Mega Man 10''.
*** What's interesting is that Enker, who showed up in ''1 GB'', is introduced in the ''1 NES'' arc, and Quintet, who showed up in ''2 GB'', shows up in the ''2 NES'' arc. Me may yet see Punk in the ''MM 3'' arc.
*** Confirmed. Check the [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html official character page.]]
*** Confirmed once more: He's made his [[http://ferretcomic.com/1081 official debut]].
** The flying surfboard has a 2 on it for a reason. It's Ferret's interpretation of Item 2 from MM2.
*** Ferret also depicts all three "Items" [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1019.png as a single device that can switch between multiple modes.]] It's also referred to as a [[CallForward Support Unit.]]
** [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan The Ruby Spears show]] certainly gets attention as well.
--> '''Mega Man:''' I'm a super fighting robot. I'm here to super fight.
** Heat Man being lazy? Yeah that's canon to the games.
** Crash Man's '' Mega Man and Bass'' quote:
--> ''"I am the Destroyer!"''
** Quick Man's physique is a blatant reference to how Hitoshi Ariga drew the character, rather than the official MM2 art or sprite.
*** His status as Rock's rival (of sorts) harkens back to the character's original role as envisioned by Inafune:
-->'''Ariga''': When I was playing ''2'', I always felt like Quick Man got some preferential treatment. On the stage select screen, his horns were allowed to go beyond the actual frame of the portrait and, when he appeared in-game, his horns would shine.\\
'''Inafune''': All of those things were intentional. We were trying to give him a special role in the game, as Mega Man's main rival. I guess you could compare him to Bass and Proto Man in the more recent games.
** The Stardroids have been hinted at for the longest time via [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic078.png flashbacks]]. Or rather, the ancient alien race that Sunstar ''belonged to'' has been hinted at. [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic642.png They seem]] [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic643.png to demonstrate]] BlueAndOrangeMorality.
*** It's obvious that Reset Man's alternate personality is somehow one of these advanced alien robots, but no one knows quite how that works...
*** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic641.png Dr. Wily's alien visage, Ra Moon and the spaceborne Evil Energy first seen in MM8 are also somehow involved]]. Previously none of these elements have ever been associated with one another.
** Metal Man, who is often mocked for being hilariously vulnerable to his own round, bladed weapon, is depicted as being weak to the Rolling Cutter, a round, bladed weapon.
* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: Played straight, and a major source of [[HeyYou insults]] between robots and by their controllers.
* SmugSnake: Metal Man. There's a reason he's the ChewToy.
* SmugSuper: Electric Man and Air Man, which has made the battle between their ego's almost as fun to watch as their actual battle.
* SociopathicHero: Captain Fodder.
* SplitPersonality: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man.
* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: Greatest Killer turns out to be one of these for Quintet.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man's 'other' consciousness.
** Sort of. While ''much'' more competent then Reset Man, he's so handicapped by his poorly-designed body that he struggles to beat a Sniper Joe.
*** Speaking of the "other" guy, what happened to him? Will we see him again? What about those scenes we saw while he was around?
*** If Ferret ever covers ''8'' or ''5 GB'', we will. [[http://ferretcomic.com/78 This comic alone is proof of that]]. In it, you can see what is clearly supposed to be [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Sunstar Sunstar]] talking to a dragon guy robot thing, who also makes a clear reference to Duo. Furthermore, said dragon guy is later seen in another flashback with what is clearly supposed to be Evil Energy. The real question is whether or not the comic will ever [[ScheduleSlip get to that point.]]
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: Rock and Roll were created to help Dr. Light in the lab and clean the house, respectively.
* SuperPrototype: Averted with [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man, who's barely able to defeat a Sniper Joe. Later played straight with Atlas.
* SuperRobot: More as tribute. Daidigger D is a remnant of Doctor Light's [[strike: misspent]] [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl well spent youth]].
* SurroundedByIdiots: Played straight in the first arc. Subverted in the second, where Wily's new minions are competent to the point of being DangerouslyGenreSavvy, but Wily still treats them like this.
** Showing that the abused always kick downwards, Enker treats his fellow Robot Masters like this.
** In the fillers where he appears, X is definitely this. Zero, iX, and Harpuia all manage to be not all there in some way or other.
--->'''X''': Oh hell, he raided the women's locker room for 'prizes' again. * Runs offscreen* You choose strange ways to die, Zero!
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:[[http://www.ferretcomic.com/960 Crashman shows why he's called The Destroyer.]]]]
** [[spoiler: Cut Man does this with Wood Man.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Wily 8 do not really cooperate well with one another in battle, often getting in each others' way. Their general personalities also seem to clash.
** Likewise, Enker doesn't get along with any Robot Masters seen so far.
* TelescopingRobot: [[spoiler: Reset Man.]]
* ThemeNaming: Aside from the obvious musical-themed names (Rock n' Roll, Enker, Quintet, Allegro and Bass), there's also the support duo known as "Reader" and "Writer".
* TitleDrop: Of Story 2, by [[spoiler:Quintet]].
--->'''[[spoiler: Quintet]]''': It sounds like you(Dr. Light) know more about it than me, but how about a more convenient way to put it? "This is a robot with no past and no future."
* TheDragon: Enker to Dr. Wily. Despite his rank, battle prowess and intellect, he still takes severe flak from Wily.
* TheVoiceless: Atlas.
* UnsoundEffect: Telprot!
** Boomshatter!
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/973 Drill-grapple! A whole lot of it!]]
** What's the sound of [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong history changing]]? [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/986 CHRONOOOOM!]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Wily suffered one at the end of the first major arc. He's gotten worse.
* WaterIsBlue: [[http://ferretcomic.com/7 see?]]
* WeAreTeamCannonFodder: Parodied with the Fodder Force.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Quintet has an...''interesting'' interpretation of the phrase, "everlasting peace."
* WhoDares: [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/archive.php?comic=268 Almost a given at some point]].
* WorthyOpponent: Quick Man considers Mega Man to be one of these. Mega Man doesn't really care.
* YouFailLogicForever: [[http://ferretcomic.com/1004 Metal Man.]]
--> '''Metal Man:''' Peace without fail, because we're justice! And therefore we are completely blind!
* XanatosRoulette: Quintet's plans. Which is rather fitting, considering his counterpart's [[IndyPloy approach to things.]]
** XanatosSpeedChess: Of course, when Mega Man's [[SpannerInTheWorks more heroic nature]] comes into play, Quintet's had to pull some rather dodgy maneuvers. Lampshaded by Ferret himself:
--> '''Disgrunted Ferret''': You ever get the feeling Quintet's flying by the seat of his robotic pants?
----
A SpriteComic on the ''BobAndGeorge'' Web site that retells the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' storyline, incorporating obscure characters from the Game Boy, PC and WonderSwan games as well as original characters. It starts from the beginning collaboration between Wily and Light, details the creation of two prototypes (only one of which is [[SuperPrototype Super)]] and Mega Man's battles to bring down Wily.
It features various flash forwards to possible futures, and [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man, the un-super prototype's SplitPersonality may be a Stardroid from one such future. The series is memorable for showing an Alternate AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Mega Man as a rapidly learning robot, rather than an ice cream loving dumb-bot. It's also notable for showing all sides in the conflict as having a rather good learning curve. The second storyline likewise has a more worldly feel as various factions of {{Red Shirt}}s and world governments try to take steps to reverse engineer and use the robot technology, all while Wily gains some impressive technological advantages of his own and Mega Man and Dr. Light struggle to keep pace.
The humor is based on the character's idiosyncrasies: be it Heat Man's laziness, Ice Man's [[TheDitz playful ditziness]], or the RedShirtArmy's utter (and GenreBlind) expendability. It also lapses into author commentary by Disgruntled Ferret, and POV pieces of minor bit characters like "Brave Core", an awakened Sniper Joe who thinks he's Brave Heart... for robots!
Has absolutely no relation to MSPaintAdventures.

'''This Webcomic has examples of the following tropes:'''
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler: Enker's spear.]]
** [[spoiler: The Harmony Support Units (And the robots they take over) are weak to Cut Man. Which leads to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for him - he fires the Rolling Cutter and gets blasted by Mega Man, but uses the Rolling Cutter's BoomerangComeback effect to hit Mega Man anyway and break him free of the Harmonies.]]
* {{Acrofatic}}: Wood Man.
* AdaptationDistillation
* AGodAmI: Electric Man. [[spoiler:Good thing he's a good guy.]]
* AffablyEvil: Wily and Quintet.
** Not really surprising, considering who Quintet [[FutureMeScaresMe used to be]].
* AlternateUniverse: A number of alternate timelines are shown as side-stories. [[spoiler: As X explains in a filler, there's only one ''actual'' timeline, and when you mess with time travel, you destroy the projected one, which is what Wily's up to between the first and second games.]]
* AnachronicOrder: A few climactic fight sequences (Mega Man Vs. Dr. Wily, Mega Man Vs. Spike Man, [[spoiler:Atlas Vs. Crash Man]]) are skipped over to be recapped later.
* AndIMustScream: Played for laughs for a few strips in the second game adaption when Reset Man's AI is placed in a storage device.
* AnimatedActors: Used in [[NoFourthWall Fourth Wall breaking]] fillers with Disgruntled Ferret interacting with the cast. Hilariously done with Metal Man [[spoiler: [[HostileShowTakeover taking over the strip]] from Disgruntled Ferret]] in a massive show of hubris.
* AnyoneCanDie: And does. [[spoiler:Even Mega Man.]]
** Though to quote the author, robots can just kinda get over death like a bad hangover as long as they have a roboticist handy.
* ArcWords: The phrase "happy ending" makes multiple appearances throughout ''No Future''.
** It's used [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic321.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic539.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic866.png here]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1000.png and here]].
* ArtEvolution: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic003.png It started like this.]] [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic891.png Now it kinda looks like this.]]
** And now it looks like ''[[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic973.png this]].''
* AscendedExtra: [[strike:All]] ''Most'' of the Robot Masters get bigger roles than they did in the original games, but Electric Man got this the most.
* BadassGrandpa: Dr. Light, oh so very much.
* BadassInDistress: Small and temporary example when [[spoiler: Flash Man tries to kidnap Dr. Light. Being a squishy human, Dr. Light still needs help, but is still able to contribute to his escape.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: [[MauveShirt Fodder Force]] [[NoNameGiven Redheaded Guy]], Cutman, and [[FailureKnight Enker]]]]; due to Doctor Light's attempt at changing the timeline.
* BagOfSpilling: Subverted everywhere. Mega Man, GenreSavvy enough to realize this might happen, attempts to keep his weapons from the first game by saving them on a computer, but Dr. Light finds out and deletes them just before Wily attacks. Then Mega Man loses some more of his abilities when he [[spoiler:dies.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''[[PostMortemOneLiner "Don't threaten Dr. Light!!"]]''
** Bears noting that that is one of ''many'' instances. Mega Man is the nicest guy you could meet, but if you threaten ''any'' innocent people, or worse, actually kill people, he will '''fuck you up'''.
* BigDamnHeroes: Ice Man and Elec Man, after Mega Man gets nearly killed by Quintet. Ferret's Commentary notes [[InvokedTrope Elec Man would have arrived sooner, but was waiting for the proper dramatic moment.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Mega Man in [[http://ferretcomic.com/1040 this strip]].
* BlatantLies: All of Dr. Wily's machines are for mining. Really.
* BondOneLiner: Many. Subverted on one occasion, when a badly-damaged Mega Man tries to do one after delivering the fatal blow, but passes out before he can finish.
* BoringButPractical
-->'''Electric Man''': Yeah, turned out I couldn't use the Thunder Beam to escape, so I just punched the glass.
* BloodKnight: Quick Man.
--> Reader: Excited when we lose, grumpy when we win. That's Quick Man.
** Allegro, the eponymous Greatest Killer, also falls into this.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Wily snuck in virus type programming into all the original robot master's to get them to defect. The POV comics with Cut Man's desperate struggles to remain himself are... disturbing and heartbreaking. Then you have the likes of Ice Man jumping headfirst into it and helping to spread the MindControl.
** Also, [[spoiler: anyone under Quintet's MindControl or using one of his support units.]]
* BuffySpeak: Disgruntled Ferret likes to play around with grammar and tenses. The page pic is an example.
* ButtMonkey: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man.
* CallForward: Dr. Wily utilises custom microchips to reprogram robots and bring them under his control, warping their personalities along the way; this is a precursor to his eventual Maverick Virus as seen in the X series.
** A few future Lightbots showed the ability to "Dark Morph" and gain the abilities/appearance of other Robot Master models; some have speculated this to be a reference to the Doc Robot (of Mega Man 3) and Dark Man (of Mega Man 5).
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: One tends to forget that the wise and badass Dr. Light started the comic as somewhat [[http://ferretcomic.com/30 incompetent]], [[http://ferretcomic.com/54 inattentive]] and [[http://ferretcomic.com/4 alcoholic]].
* ChekhovsGunman: Guts Man was stated, several hundred comics ago, to have been kidnapped with Electric Man and Fire Man, and hasn't been seen since he was destroyed several years before ''that''. He finally shows up in comic #1001.
* TheChewToy: Metal Man. He deserves it, though, considering he trash talks everyone.
* CloningBlues: Copy-Mega Man becomes quite violent when others imply he's not the "real" Mega Man. He was assembled from field data acquired by Enker, so he possesses some combat skill. He lacks the drive of the original, though.
** He also doesn't know that Mega Man is the battle mode of Rock, likely due to Wily's ignorance of that fact.
* CloudCuckooLander: Ice Man, most definitely. Bubble Man, too.
** Harmony-infected robots are rather like this as well. [[strike: Metal Man]] Blade Man is like this in spades, as he will alternate between HotBlooded and NonSequitur at the drop of a hat.
** This seems to be true of Harmonized robots in general. As observed in the comic:
-->'''Heat Man''', [[http://ferretcomic.com/764 regarding Harmonized Fire Man]]: Wow. On the retard scale of 1 to 10, this guy's a J.
** Disgruntled Ferret himself offers this little insight into Harmony's effect on robots:
--> [[http://ferretcomic.com/1016 I like to think of the Harmonized robots' attitude as around the same range as someone that donates corpses to charity. Sure it's technically for a good cause, but you're being stupid and terrifying.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Dr. Light. [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] in the making, practices [[StreetFighter martial arts]] [[strike: in his spare time]] to stay fit, and shot [[TheDragon Enker]] in the face.
* CoolShades: Employed by Quintet, Reader, Writer, Allegro and even Dr. Wily.
* CosmicPlaything: Reset Man.
--> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' Reset Man looks so happy that the creepy robot is getting what's coming to him. I don't like Reset Man being happy.
** Mega Man, too.
--> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' It's kind of irritating that at this point I can blow off Mega Man's arm and he's barely even annoyed. I like torturing characters, and he's taking away my fun here.
* CranialProcessingUnit: Averted. At one point, Crash Man and Heat Man discuss this trope when it's revealed that Crash Man's CPU is in a different location than the head(which was reserved for [[MoreDakka More Explosives]]. Guess what happens, or rather, ''doesn't'' happen when Mega Man slices off Crash Man's head.
** Played straight earlier, where a future Rock kills Allegro by stabbing him in the face. He then {{Lampshade| Hanging}}s it, saying if ''he'' made robots, he'd put the brain someplace else, like in the butt.
* CurbstompBattle: Several, usually when the Robot Masters fight humans, but [[http://ferretcomic.com/812 Electric Man versus Metal Man]] stands out.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Quint.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: Cut Man.]]
---> [[spoiler: Cut Man]]: '''Point'''less? That's some bad choice, log guy. I, [[spoiler: Cut Man]], am never ever ever ever ever '''EVER''' pointless!
* {{Determinator}}: Crash Man is able to continue fighting [[OffWithHisHead without his head]] or arm.
** Atlas can shrug off being buried under tons of rubble [[spoiler: and take Crash Man's weapon barrage until his energy shield is broken]].
** Subverted with Mega Man's first fight against Metal Man and Quick Man.
---> Mega Man: [[spoiler: '''Yahoo!''' I died and I '''still''' won!]]
** Quintet's weakness is that, compared to Mega Man, [[AvertedTrope he]] ''[[AvertedTrope isn't]]'' [[AvertedTrope this.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: During Heat Man's fight with the Guts Dozer we see Wily working on what looks like Punk, the second Mega Man Killer.]]
** It's implied he's [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1049.png been around a lot longer.]]
** The Greatest Killer side-story saw the brief appearance of Rush, albeit an orange version. [[ShootTheDog Allegro severely damages him.]]
* EliteMooks: The Red Sniper Joes. [[spoiler: Mega Man almost gets killed the first time he fights them.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Quintet refuses to attack his creator [[spoiler:Dr. Light.]]
* FailureKnight: Enker, in the second major arc.
* {{Filler}}: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archive.php?comic=431 DF likes to take this trope to]] SerialEscalation[[http://bobandgeorge.com/paint/461 levels]]. "Full Metal Recolor" may be the most notable example.
* ForeverWar: The future according to Quintet.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Oodles of it. Proper list forthcoming.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Quintet.
* GeneralRipper: Captain Fodder.
* GenreSavvy: Rock/Mega Man. Attempts to avoid the BagOfSpilling (That [[ButThouMust occurs anyway]]) and a frequent source of LampshadeHanging throughout the comic.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Played with. Mega Man is so [[IncorruptiblePurePureness good]] that he has two good angels on either side in his internal monologue. Lampshades it by asking [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/749 'Aren't one of you supposed to be an evil conscience?']]
* GretzkyHasTheBall: Intentionally used when Mega Man and Ice Man start goofing off. Mega Man claims Ice Man almost got a hole in one - while they were hitting a basketball with a baseball bat.
* GroinAttack: Mega Man to Quick Man.
* HamToHamCombat: The battle between Elec Man and Air Man. Both literal and figurative combat.
* HandsomeLech: Zero, as a running gag in the Filler strips.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Electric Man]]
* HeroicWannabe: Cut Man.
* HighClassGlass: Referenced by [[SmugSuper Electric Man.]]
--> "If I were any classier I'd need a monocle."
* HotBlooded: A side effect of using [[spoiler: Quintet's support units.]]
** Lampshaded in [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/966 this]] title. [[BadassGrandpa Doctor Light]] shows us how its done [[ThisIsADrill old school]].
* HumongousMecha: Daidigger D, of course.
** The Mecha Dragon of ''Mega Man 2'' fame has recently arrived on the scene.
* IndyPloy: Mega Man's plan for ''everything''. The fact that one robot decimated his armies with this tactic is the final nail in the coffin for Wily's VillainousBreakdown.
* InformedAbility: Reader states that [[BloodKnight Quick Man]] is the strongest of Wily's 8, but we only ever see him fight Mega Man (not counting the soldiers he massacres, as well as [[spoiler: the last member of the Fodder Force]]). We do, however, see Crash Man leveling entire military bases and buildings due to the [[MoreDakka sheer volume of his firepower]], not to mention the fact that [[spoiler: he manages to defeat Atlas twice]].
* InsaneTrollLogic
-->'''Mega Man''': When I fight, the ones who take damage are me and the enemy. If I've ''already'' taken damage, that means the enemy has to take ''more'' for things to balance out.\\
'''Dr. Light''': [[{{Facepalm}} I... that... ...Just go back to the lab, Mega Man]].
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1019.png Quintet has a dragon!]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: There are [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/381 Wild Ninja Colonies]] in [[TheVerse Ferretverse]] with the enemy ninja sprites from LiveALive. Don't forget your [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/670 Ninja Repellent]].
* JediMindTrick: A secondary function of the Thunder Beam.
** Quintet is also capable of doing this to the Robot Masters of the Wily 8. It's possibly a sign that he helped Wily construct them, using his knowledge of more advanced future robotics.
* {{Jerkass}}: Colonel Fodder. The cast page even lists him as LawfulEvil.
** Metal Man and Flash Man are arrogant douches as well, as evidenced by the fact that they're the only ones who swear on a regular basis.
** Ferret has shades of this too, along with SmugSnake. Odd, seeing as he's the AuthorAvatar.
** Mega Man is fond of calling Enker a "big, dumb jerk", which is a pretty apt description of the guy.
* TheJuggernaut: Atlas.
* JustAMachine: Dr. Wily subscribes to this school of thought.
* KickTheDog: A number, most notably Wily berating Enker for asking WhyDontYouJustShootHim, Allegro killing an alternate version of Rush, and [[spoiler: Quick Man casually killing the last of the Fodder Force Uber Team.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Fire Man, [[spoiler: after being defeated in Harmony Mode and short-circuiting in water.]]
* LargeHam: It's easier to mention who ''isn't'' this in this comic. Everyone gets their moments of this. Even ''Dr. Light''.
** ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Especially]]'' [[HumongousMecha Dr.]] [[BadassGrandpa Light]].
* LaserBlade: Allegro.
* LazyBum: Heat Man is the personification of this trope.
--> "A job where I do nothing all day long? I approve."
** Although with Quintet's [[MindControl hostile takeover]] of his brothers Wood Man and Flash Man in [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png Comic #1003]], [[ThisMeansWar he may no longer]] [[LetsGetDangerous be as lazy]].
---> '''Heat Man:''' It's just '''too much work''' to do stuff for Quintet's personal agenda.
*** It's established that [[JustifiedTrope The reason for his laziness is an unstable power core]] [[IncendiaryExponent that, upon over-exertion, sets himself and anything nearby on fire.]]
**** Not just any old power core - ''he's powered by an [[spoiler: unstable nuclear bomb.]]''
* LovableCoward: Reset Man.
* MadScientist: Dr. Albert Wily
** DisgruntledFerret also considers Dr. Light to be a "good Mad Scientist".
* MauveShirt: All members of the Fodder Force Uber Team.
* MindScrew: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man's corrupted data, and the mini-arc "Dumb Nonsense."
* MoodWhiplash: The sorry state of Enker in the "Too Serious" side-story is just ''depressing''.
* MoreDakka:
** Crash Man's entire Modus Operandi.
** Mega Man becomes a force to be reckoned with once he gains several Robot Master weapons.
** Quick Man's boomerangs are even accompanied by a "dakka" sound.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Crash Man is called "the Destroyer", and for [[BeamSpam good]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre reason]].
* NewEraSpeech:
---> '''Wily:''' Everything will be Mined. All Mined.
** Also counts as IncrediblyLamePun, considering he was fooling Light at first by passing off his original plans as mining robots. Even the Wily Machine.
* NoodleImplements: Did you know you could build a DeathRay with little more than a [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png cell phone and a paper clip]]?
* NonActionGuy: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man
* NoNameGiven: The fourth member of [[WeAreTeamCannonFodder The Fodder Force: Uber Squad]]
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Completely averted. After the first major arc, several other organizations are reverse engineering their own robots, including their own Robot Masters.
* NotWorthKilling: Quick Man lets a deactivated Mega Man live under these reasons. Of course, when he finds out the Blue Bomber ''is'' worth killing, [[BloodKnight his reaction is quite positive.]]
* [[BreakingTheFourthWall Nuking The Fourth Wall]]: The Atomic Dragon's attack in [[http://ferretcomic.com/1031 this comic]] is so powerful it vaporizes the comic's boundary frame between the third and fourth panel.
* OffWithHisHead: Crash Man in "Live and Learn"[[hottip:* :It doesn't stick]], and more fatally, [[spoiler: Roll]] in "Too Serious".
* OneManArmy: Mega Man fits this until the second game kicks in. Crash Man is a definite example, reminding Wood Man that he had enough ammunition to level the city in a blind and deaf rage. Blind and deaf due to ''[[ImplacableMan missing]]'' ''[[OffWithHisHead his head]]'' at the time.
* OnlyMostlyDead: When a robots is destroyed, it can be rebuilt without much trouble, so long as the memory chip is intact.
* PaperThinDisguise: When sending robots into the field, the military just gives them a hat for disguise. Or in Atlas' case, a hat and a BadassLongcoat.
* PetTheDog: Wood Man's guilt over killing humans, and Quintet coming to Enker's defense.
* PsychoForHire: Allegro.
* PsychoSerum: The Harmony support units.
* RecurringCharacter: A somewhat HotBlooded Sniper Joe that Mega Man reprogrammed with Thunder Beam by the nickname of "Bravecore" occasionally shows up.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Averted. Early "Ferret-vision" comics aside, Dr. Light's genius and affinity with robotics is very obvious ''and'' beneficial to the heroes. He first helped out the US army during the first major finale (the siege on Skull Castle), which would later come round to bite him in the arse. Since then he's been an even bigger asset to Mega Man, re-building him more than once, inventing his new Support Unit, revamping and bringing in a good-old [[HumongousMecha giant mecha]] into battle and even ''rewinding time''.
* ResistanceIsFutile: Said by Quintet [[http://ferretcomic.com/1003 here]].
* RetCon: In Ferret vision, there was Polka. Now that Disgruntled Ferret is paying attention, there is Reset Man. Proto Man also no longer goes by the name Blues anymore.
** More generally, everything involving Light and Wily from the early, silly strips was seemingly dropped from canon once the comic got serious and flashbacks now reveal rising tensions between the two (and Light's idiocy is completely dropped).
*** Interestingly, Dr. Wily mentions that Light made Wily Machine 1 for him in strip number 972.
* TheReveal: Reader [[spoiler: is Future Roll]].
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: General Spearcarrier initially mistakes Roll for a human girl, much as Lieutenant Gunnady mistakes Mega Man for a little boy. Also, the robots bleed. In Electric Man's case, they [[http://ferretcomic.com/208 bleed a lot]].
* RuleOfCool: Another favorite of Disgruntled Ferret. Quote from commentary below:
---> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' (Regarding [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic958.png this comic]]) In the Game Boy game where Mega Man uses it, I think Mirror Buster is just a shield that can bounce shots, but instead I made it this thing that absorbs attacks and fires them back as some kind of converted blast. Why? [[StuffBlowingUp Because explosions.]]
---> '''Disgruntled Ferret:''' [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic973.png These things are not about practicality. I daresay it might be exactly the opposite.]]
* ScaryBlackMan: Colonel Fodder
* ScheduleSlip: Combined with loads and loads of Filler, and long story arcs. It'll probably be awhile before we get to Mega Man 3... but we're getting there.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Being the epitome of laziness, Heat Man [[http://ferretcomic.com/889 says something along these lines.]]
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Air Man, but piss him off and he defaults to a ''much'' cruder way off speaking, meaning that he probably invokes this trope intentionally.
* ShootingSuperman: The military with regular weapons or the E1s against any of the Robot Masters.
--->"''Targets sustain no damge from shot. Calculating...''"
--->"''Conclusion: cannot retreat. Keep firing out of spite.''"
* {{Shoryuken}}: [[spoiler: Mega Man, err, [[MegaManning Mega Mans]] Doctor Light's [[{{Shotoclone}} Shotokan Karate]] against [[CoolShip The Wily Machine]].]]
* ShoutOut: To ''{{Gundam}}'' about once every 150 strips.
---> '''Mega Man:''' Whoa. [[{{GGundam}} My hand is glowing with an awesome power.]]
---> '''Mega Man:''' Take ''this''! Your ammo, your energy, and all of your stupid hate!
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/1069 And the title of this comic.]]
** Also, the comic titles for the "Too Serious" arc reference other fancomics set in 21XX from the BobAndGeorge Forums.
*** This troper specifically noticed a few. 'Randomocity' is shouting out to ''Randomness''. 'A Misadventure' is from ''Plauge's Misadventures''.
** A recurring filler character is the AuthorAvatar the ''Randomness'''s author, iX.
** The resemblance is very loose, but [[spoiler: Dr. Light's HumongousMecha]] seems very [[GurrenLagann drill happy]]...
*** That might not be, but this definitely is:
---> Air Man: Even if Heaven itself forgives your shenanigans, I, Air Man, will not!
** Daidigger D is a Super Robot reference bonanza, like the Name Letter nomenclature on top of [[http://ferretcomic.com/1060 this commentary]]
---> With Daidigger D, [[MazingerZ you can become a god or a devil]]... of mining and construction.
** Castlevania gets one, too:
---> '''Enker:''' What is Electric Man? [[{{Castlevania}} A miserable pile of circuits.]]
** [=DisgruntledFerret=] recently made [[http://ferretcomic.com/1021 a filler comic]] that shows everyone from the BobAndGeorge forums who have made a cameo appearance.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/890 Cutman's viral/Harmony form]] appears to be directly lifted from [[http://www.cutstuff.net/ Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch]] [[http://a.imageshack.us/img830/2410/zavie.png creator CutmanMike's avatar character.]]
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/747 I AM]] [[ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink ERROR]].
** Instead of being referred to as a "Mega Man Killer", Enker instead goes by the title of [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic162.png "Mega Man Hunter"]]. Possibly as a nod to the [[VideoGame/MegaManX X-Hunters and Maverick Hunters]], possibly just to sound less silly.
** In good anime fan tradition, [[http://ferretcomic.com/249 there's one]] for ''FistOfTheNorthStar,'' complete with the classic 'YouAreAlreadyDead' catchphrase.
* ShownTheirWork[=/=]MythologyGag: Ferret clearly knows his classic series Mega Man. Although the majority of humans are (probably) original, startlingly few of the ''robots'' aren't from an actual source.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/516 That electricity spewing robot?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Volt_Man Volt Man]] from the awful Mega Man DOS game.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/517 That Air Man lookalike]] that everyone believes turns into Air Man? [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Wave_Man_(PC) Wave Man]]([[NamesTheSame Not THAT Wave Man]]) of the equally bad Mega Man 3 DOS.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/938 That really badass robot Metal Man turns into?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_Man_(PC) Blade Man from the same game.]]
*** [[http://ferretcomic.com/1014 Hey there]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Oil_Man_%28PC%29 Oil Ma-]], I mean, Flash Man.
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/530 These two guys?]] [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Compass_Man Compass Man]] and [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Konro_Man Konro Man]] from the [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Rockman_and_Forte:_Challenger_From_the_Future Wonderswan game]].
** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/508 This guy]] in the last panel is [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Aircon_Man Aircon Man]], also from ''Challengers of the Future''.
** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic567.png This Robot Master]] may or may not be [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Torch_Man Torch Man.]] He's seen [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic577.png doing some welding later on]]. His appearance seems based on the PC version's in-game sprite rather than the mugshot.
** Enker and Quint(et) from the Gameboy games could also qualify. Although significantly more well known than the previous robots, they are still quite obscure.
*** Let it be known that Enker showed up in this comic long before(''years'' before even) he was revealed to appear in ''Mega Man 10''.
*** What's interesting is that Enker, who showed up in ''1 GB'', is introduced in the ''1 NES'' arc, and Quintet, who showed up in ''2 GB'', shows up in the ''2 NES'' arc. Me may yet see Punk in the ''MM 3'' arc.
*** Confirmed. Check the [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html official character page.]]
*** Confirmed once more: He's made his [[http://ferretcomic.com/1081 official debut]].
** The flying surfboard has a 2 on it for a reason. It's Ferret's interpretation of Item 2 from MM2.
*** Ferret also depicts all three "Items" [[http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1019.png as a single device that can switch between multiple modes.]] It's also referred to as a [[CallForward Support Unit.]]
** [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan The Ruby Spears show]] certainly gets attention as well.
--> '''Mega Man:''' I'm a super fighting robot. I'm here to super fight.
** Heat Man being lazy? Yeah that's canon to the games.
** Crash Man's '' Mega Man and Bass'' quote:
--> ''"I am the Destroyer!"''
** Quick Man's physique is a blatant reference to how Hitoshi Ariga drew the character, rather than the official MM2 art or sprite.
*** His status as Rock's rival (of sorts) harkens back to the character's original role as envisioned by Inafune:
-->'''Ariga''': When I was playing ''2'', I always felt like Quick Man got some preferential treatment. On the stage select screen, his horns were allowed to go beyond the actual frame of the portrait and, when he appeared in-game, his horns would shine.\\
'''Inafune''': All of those things were intentional. We were trying to give him a special role in the game, as Mega Man's main rival. I guess you could compare him to Bass and Proto Man in the more recent games.
** The Stardroids have been hinted at for the longest time via [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic078.png flashbacks]]. Or rather, the ancient alien race that Sunstar ''belonged to'' has been hinted at. [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic642.png They seem]] [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic643.png to demonstrate]] BlueAndOrangeMorality.
*** It's obvious that Reset Man's alternate personality is somehow one of these advanced alien robots, but no one knows quite how that works...
*** [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic641.png Dr. Wily's alien visage, Ra Moon and the spaceborne Evil Energy first seen in MM8 are also somehow involved]]. Previously none of these elements have ever been associated with one another.
** Metal Man, who is often mocked for being hilariously vulnerable to his own round, bladed weapon, is depicted as being weak to the Rolling Cutter, a round, bladed weapon.
* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: Played straight, and a major source of [[HeyYou insults]] between robots and by their controllers.
* SmugSnake: Metal Man. There's a reason he's the ChewToy.
* SmugSuper: Electric Man and Air Man, which has made the battle between their ego's almost as fun to watch as their actual battle.
* SociopathicHero: Captain Fodder.
* SplitPersonality: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man.
* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: Greatest Killer turns out to be one of these for Quintet.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man's 'other' consciousness.
** Sort of. While ''much'' more competent then Reset Man, he's so handicapped by his poorly-designed body that he struggles to beat a Sniper Joe.
*** Speaking of the "other" guy, what happened to him? Will we see him again? What about those scenes we saw while he was around?
*** If Ferret ever covers ''8'' or ''5 GB'', we will. [[http://ferretcomic.com/78 This comic alone is proof of that]]. In it, you can see what is clearly supposed to be [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Sunstar Sunstar]] talking to a dragon guy robot thing, who also makes a clear reference to Duo. Furthermore, said dragon guy is later seen in another flashback with what is clearly supposed to be Evil Energy. The real question is whether or not the comic will ever [[ScheduleSlip get to that point.]]
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: Rock and Roll were created to help Dr. Light in the lab and clean the house, respectively.
* SuperPrototype: Averted with [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man, who's barely able to defeat a Sniper Joe. Later played straight with Atlas.
* SuperRobot: More as tribute. Daidigger D is a remnant of Doctor Light's [[strike: misspent]] [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl well spent youth]].
* SurroundedByIdiots: Played straight in the first arc. Subverted in the second, where Wily's new minions are competent to the point of being DangerouslyGenreSavvy, but Wily still treats them like this.
** Showing that the abused always kick downwards, Enker treats his fellow Robot Masters like this.
** In the fillers where he appears, X is definitely this. Zero, iX, and Harpuia all manage to be not all there in some way or other.
--->'''X''': Oh hell, he raided the women's locker room for 'prizes' again. * Runs offscreen* You choose strange ways to die, Zero!
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:[[http://www.ferretcomic.com/960 Crashman shows why he's called The Destroyer.]]]]
** [[spoiler: Cut Man does this with Wood Man.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Wily 8 do not really cooperate well with one another in battle, often getting in each others' way. Their general personalities also seem to clash.
** Likewise, Enker doesn't get along with any Robot Masters seen so far.
* TelescopingRobot: [[spoiler: Reset Man.]]
* ThemeNaming: Aside from the obvious musical-themed names (Rock n' Roll, Enker, Quintet, Allegro and Bass), there's also the support duo known as "Reader" and "Writer".
* TitleDrop: Of Story 2, by [[spoiler:Quintet]].
--->'''[[spoiler: Quintet]]''': It sounds like you(Dr. Light) know more about it than me, but how about a more convenient way to put it? "This is a robot with no past and no future."
* TheDragon: Enker to Dr. Wily. Despite his rank, battle prowess and intellect, he still takes severe flak from Wily.
* TheVoiceless: Atlas.
* UnsoundEffect: Telprot!
** Boomshatter!
** [[http://ferretcomic.com/973 Drill-grapple! A whole lot of it!]]
** What's the sound of [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong history changing]]? [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/986 CHRONOOOOM!]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Wily suffered one at the end of the first major arc. He's gotten worse.
* WaterIsBlue: [[http://ferretcomic.com/7 see?]]
* WeAreTeamCannonFodder: Parodied with the Fodder Force.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Quintet has an...''interesting'' interpretation of the phrase, "everlasting peace."
* WhoDares: [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/archive.php?comic=268 Almost a given at some point]].
* WorthyOpponent: Quick Man considers Mega Man to be one of these. Mega Man doesn't really care.
* YouFailLogicForever: [[http://ferretcomic.com/1004 Metal Man.]]
--> '''Metal Man:''' Peace without fail, because we're justice! And therefore we are completely blind!
* XanatosRoulette: Quintet's plans. Which is rather fitting, considering his counterpart's [[IndyPloy approach to things.]]
** XanatosSpeedChess: Of course, when Mega Man's [[SpannerInTheWorks more heroic nature]] comes into play, Quintet's had to pull some rather dodgy maneuvers. Lampshaded by Ferret himself:
--> '''Disgrunted Ferret''': You ever get the feeling Quintet's flying by the seat of his robotic pants?
