* FridgeBrilliance: The [[https://ferretcomic.com/247 explanation for why a robot covered completely in Metool-type armour]] is not a viable idea.

-->Metal Man: [[color:purple:Believe! You have to believe, mango! Here is a poem! "I really like justice,/I really like peace,/A female nephew is/Called a niece.]]

--> '''Mega Man''': "Thanks, Elecky. I trust you. Don't die, okay?"\\
'''Electric Man''': "I told you not to call me that. And stop hugging me, I can't look cool if you're hugging me, Rock."

--> '''Mega Man''': Aggk... I don't think I can win anymore...\\
* Flashback to Mega Man's awakening, and his speech to him at the beginning of No Future.*
--> '''Dr. Light''': I want you to promise me something... Please keep in mind what the good thing to do is... and always shoot for that goal, with all your heart and spirit!
--> '''Mega Man''': [[{{Determinator}} .....I'll win anyway!]] CHARGE!!

* TheWoobie: It's not very hard to pity [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man. He's a prototype of Proto Man, the basis for all future Robot Masters, and wasn't even complete when he managed to wake himself up. Then he tried teleporting away and fell, getting broken on the roof of Light and Wily's labs. ''Then'' Proto Man's attempts to fix him screwed him up ''worse'' and stole his shield. Things somehow go further downhill after that. To further his pain, he's also sharing headspace with one of the Stardroids, and he managed to get possessed by Quick Man. It's little wonder that his first introduction to Roll is him cringing in fear and asking that she not hurt him.

** 963 to 990 is a Crowning Moment chain. In order: [[spoiler: Dr. Light shows up in the [[HumongousMecha DaiDigger D.]] Mega Man [[MegaManning copies]] Dr. Light's [[StreetFighter Shotokan Karate]] and Shoryukens Wily Machine 2 and gives Dr. Wily a brief but simple TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (it's 'cuz he's evil) and faces the Wily Machine one on one. Dr. Light [[ThisIsADrill Drill-Grapples]] (a whole lot) the [[ColonyDrop falling Aeropolis]] and keeps it from falling on the city. Mega Man gets the HeroicResolve listed above. Mega Man rams Item 2 to break open the Wily Machine, [[UseYourHead breaking it open with his face]], before giving Wily a one-liner of epic proportions, Reset Man allowing Dr. Light to show Wily how it's done and give the ''true'' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech reason Wily sucks]], using his own Time Travel technology to reverse the effects of the last few hours. Reviving [[TheNameless Redheaded Fodder Force Uber Squad Guy]], [[HeroicWannabe Cut Man]], and [[FailureKnight Enker]] in the process, while restoring the Aeropolis' engines and restoring its airborne capacity.]] Awesome.

* NeverLiveItDown: Rock teases Roll about the incident with Ice Man a few times, to Roll's increasing annoyance.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Almost all fanart of Metal Man depicts him as a badass, intimidating Robot Master. This is largely due to his appearance being one of the more dynamic [=MM2=] designs (it probably doesn't hurt that he shares a game with the likes of Air Man, Bubble Man and Wood Man). In the game, however, he's ''easily'' the most pathetic boss. The comic reflects this by having him be absurdly weak, even by present-era 20XX standards.

* CrazyAwesome: So. Many. Characters. There's Elec Man, who [[SmugSuper will actually ignore his opponent to brag]], Dr. Light, who considers building a HumongousMecha a valid way to spend one's youth ([[RuleOfCool Which it is. It totally is]]), and Dr. Wily, who built the Wily Machine No.2 in ''[[GadgeteerGenius ten minutes]]''. The greatest example, however, would have to be [[strike:Blade Man]]Metal Man whilst under the influence of a harmony unit, who would constantly talk about Justice and nonsequiturs.

* GrowingTheBeard: It started off as a stereotypical sprite comic, and it wasn't until Wily's first attack that it started taking itself seriously. Then the ArtEvolution happened...

* TheWoobie: It's not very hard to pity [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man. He's a prototype of Proto Man, the basis for all future Robot Masters, and wasn't even complete when he managed to wake himself up. Then he tried teleporting away and fell, getting broken on the roof of Light and Wily's labs. ''Then'' Proto Man's attempts to fix him screwed him up ''worse'' and stole his shield.

* NeutralGood: Thomas Light.

* LawfulEvil: Quintet. John Fodder was initially more of a "Lawful [[JerkAss Asshole]]"(with a Healthy Helping of DirtyCoward). The more we see of him, the worse he gets.
* LawfulGood: Megaman

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Mega Man's HeroicResolve in comic 978:
--> '''Mega Man''': Aggk... I don't think I can win anymore...
--> * Flashback to Mega Man's awakening, and his speech to him at the beginning of No Future.*
--> '''Dr. Light''': I want you to promise me something... Please keep in mind what the good thing to do is... and always shoot for that goal, with all your heart and spirit!

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When Electric Man volunteers to take down the Yellow Devil.
---> '''Mega Man''': "Thanks, Elecky. I trust you. Don't die, okay?"
---> '''Electric Man''': "I told you not to call me that. And stop hugging me, I can't look cool if you're hugging me, Rock."
** When Reset Man goes to the moon, Needle Man quickly turns on him. Reset Man, the most cowardly robot in existence, takes the time to save Alter Man and bring him to safety despite not knowing whether not he's involved with the villians. Keep in mind that Reset Man only met the guy 5-10 minutes ago in story and didn't know anything about him prior to this so he had no loyalty or obligation to save him.

* TheWoobie: It's very hard not to pity [[strike:Polka]] Reset Man.

* HilariousInHindsight: Dr. Wily trick Dr. Light into designing his floating 'Wilymachine' mech by saying the design is to be used for "mining". Later, in the prelude to the Mega Man 2 story arc, Wily states that one of his new (unseen) robots is for "mining", and that the world will be "Mined. All ''mined''". The plot of Mega Man 3 is about Wily and Light working together on some ''mining robots'', who then go beserk...

* LawfulEvil: Quintet. John Fodder was initially, more of "Lawful [[JerkAss Asshole]]"(with a Healthy Helping of DirtyCoward). The more we see of him, the worse he gets.

** In "Too Serious," try reading Enker's laboured speech [[http://ferretcomic.com/316 here]]as he lays alone, immobile and forgotten, begging Dr. Wily to tell him who his enemy is.
