| 1 | !'''Robots-Major Characters''' |
| 2 | |
| 3 | !!Mega Man/Rock |
| 4 | ->''"I am Mega Man! I fight for [[CatchPhrase everlasting peace!"]]'' |
| 5 | TheHero of the story and Dr. Light's #1 robot. Initially created by Doctor Light to function as his lab assistant, but then [[TakeOverTheWorld Doctor Wily]] happened and he was forced to take up arms. A complete dork when not in battle, and a bit of an IdiotHero. His body was remade with parts meant for war and he can switch to his old body at will. He is bold and reckless. |
| 6 | ---- |
| 7 | * ArmCannon: Megaman's specialty as in the source material. |
| 8 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:The comic stays to true to the game. As long as the memory chip is intact, then the robots can be rebuilt.]] |
| 9 | * BadassAdorable: Mega Man has the appearance and mentality of a 10 year-old child. |
| 10 | * CompellingVoice[=/=]HypnoticEyes: He can control other Light robots via override, though he uses his voice and/or eyes that works in conjunction with radio waves (wifi). It's never really explained which. |
| 11 | * {{Determinator}}: The later parts of the second episode seriously show this off, as both of his bodies are consistently under threat of total destruction. He's lost an arm, [[spoiler:been killed]], is suckered by Quint into having one of his bodies explode, and still returns to battle Wily. By punching his ship with a Shoryuken! |
| 12 | -->[[spoiler:'''Quintet''':]] Don't you know when to give up? |
| 13 | -->'''Mega Man''': Don't ask me questions with answers that don't exist. |
| 14 | * FutureMeScaresMe: In an alternate timeline Rock "grows up" into a soccer-loving, somewhat responsible [[BattleButler house robot...]] [[spoiler:who later becomes the WellIntentionedExtremist Quintet]]. |
| 15 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: He shows some shades of it. He is altogether moral, but he has no problem killing his brothers if they go evil. [[spoiler:When Roll goes a minor hypno-bug, she [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out for not really caring about Fire Man being permanently destroyed by him no less.]]]] |
| 16 | * HypnoRay: Again. Probably used in conjunction with a HypnoTicket embedded in the other robots. |
| 17 | * InTheNameOfTheMoon: "I am Mega Man! I fight for everlasting peace!" |
| 18 | * IndyPloy: Mega Man's standard operating procedure. |
| 19 | * {{Irony}}: He accuses Quintet of always using someone or something else to fight. [[PowerCopying Umm...]] |
| 20 | * LawfulGood: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 21 | * PowerCopying: He was the former [[MegaManning trope namer.]] |
| 22 | * OneManArmy: In the first arc. Things get MUCH tougher the second go around, but he still amounts to this. |
| 23 | * ShoutOut: Occasionally refers to himself as a [[WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears "super fighting robot."]] |
| 24 | -->'''Mega Man''': I'm a super fighting robot, I'm here to super fight! |
| 25 | * ShutUpHannibal: Quick Man's NotSoDifferentRemark is interrupted simply and awesomely with "Shut up, stupid!" and explosions. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | !!Reset Man |
| 28 | ->[[CosmicPlaything "My life sucks."]] |
| 29 | The first of the humanoid robots. He is an old test model made for trial runs that has become frightened of many things as a result of his terrible life. [[RetCon He is sometimes referred to as Polka.]] |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * ButtMonkey: Ever since his activation, he fell to the roof of Light Labs, was left barely operable with a badly damaged, poorly-repaired body, and nearly destroyed by many things. |
| 32 | ** Wily takes him over briefly. Mega Man seems to have no problem [[http://ferretcomic.com/594 f'ing his shiz up.]] |
| 33 | * BeyondTheImpossible: It's revealed part way through the comic that Reset Man's hydraulic system can't even support half his body weight of 300 pounds after Proto Man "[[HarmfulHealing fixed him]]". Despite having the strength of an arthritic grandma carrying full combat gear, [[spoiler:his alternate personality, the possible Stardroid, Pazuzuli]] can beat a Sniper Joe in single combat. Sniper Joe's in this universe bridge the gap between minion robots and master types. |
| 34 | * CosmicPlaything: [=DisgruntledFerret=] has outright admitted that he loves making bad things happen to Reset Man, and hates when the plot forces him to let the bot be happy. |
| 35 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Started out as a DeadpanSnarker, was re-characterized as a LovableCoward. |
| 36 | * DeadpanSnarker: Both Reset Man and his separate AI do this [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness in their first appearances]]. |
| 37 | * DealWithTheDevil: Metaphorically made with [[spoiler:[[http://ferretcomic.com/1075 Quick Man]]]]. He breaks out of it. It's also a possibility if Pazuzuli [[spoiler:really is a Stardroid.]] |
| 38 | * DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Most of Reset Man's hydraulics are fairly weak compared to most Masters, but the ones operating his extending arms are ''very'' strong, able to pull around his 300 pound frame with ease. [[spoiler: When more combat-ready Masters are controlling his body, they find out his arms can do much the same to ''other'' Masters, and even tear them apart if needed.]] |
| 39 | * GilliganCut: [[http://ferretcomic.com/936 Just when things start looking up for him.]] |
| 40 | * GrapplingHookPistol: His retractable arms. |
| 41 | * LawfulNeutral: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 42 | * LovableCoward: When you have no weapons, you have no choice to run. He needs others to fight for him. |
| 43 | * PetTheDog: Reset Man finally gets an upgraded body [[http://ferretcomic.com/770 here.]] |
| 44 | * ProperlyParanoid: When the comic creator likes seeing you in pain and everyone is trying to kill you, you know to fear EVERYTHING. |
| 45 | * SplitPersonality: 'Reset Mode'. [[spoiler:Apparently named [[Film/TheExorcist "Pazuzuli."]]]] He also has [[spoiler:Quick Man inside him now as well.]] |
| 46 | * SymbioticPossession: His namesake power on-paper. He has space in his head for multiple personality chips, and whenever he resets his drive he can communicate with them and allow them control of his body. In practice, he has a habit of choosing particularly malicious people. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | !!Roll |
| 49 | ->''"Rock... please don't do anything stupid."'' |
| 50 | ->'''SIBLING ASSESSMENT''' |
| 51 | ->''"... well... Don't DIE, anyway..."'' |
| 52 | Mega Man's twin unit "sister". Created by Doctor Light for more domestic purposes than Rock. In contrast to Rock's inquisitive and occasionally [[HotBlooded fiery]] nature, Roll is more gently inclined and dislikes the idea of fighting. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Not counting that one time she decapitated Ice Man.]] [=DisgruntledFerret=] describes her as a sweet little girl and iron-fisted housekeeper. |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Arguably. There have been moments of plot importance where Roll has gone berserk. Subverted in that her only weapon is a ''vacuum cleaner''. |
| 55 | * CloserToEarth: While the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] among the Robot Masters, she does have some quirks of her own. |
| 56 | * DeadpanSnarker: The other robots' antics annoy her, but there's little she can do to stop them, so she settles for sarcastic commentary instead. |
| 57 | * FutureMeScaresMe: She's horrified to learn that [[spoiler:someone like herself could come up with the plan Quintet is implementing, and that Mother Harmony is her future self]]. |
| 58 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Reader and Writer don't actually fight, beyond slapping their enemies. Roll hates fighting, and [[NoodleIncident we never learned what happened]] in the future between "Greatest Killer" and Dr. Wily showing up to take everyone back a few decades.]] |
| 59 | * LawfulGood: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here]]. |
| 60 | * RobotGirl: One of the few female robots in the comic, canon aside. |
| 61 | * ShoutOut: Perhaps to her cartoon self, whose weapon was, among other household appliances, a vacuum cleaner. |
| 62 | * SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: This is essentially Roll's job description. |
| 63 | * TechnicalPacifist: Unlike Rock, Roll doesn't approve of combat. While she's far from meek — and quite cantankerous at times — she just doesn't like the prospect of fighting. This actually helps sidestep the unfortunate implication present in most other depictions of the character (i.e.: she cannot fight because of her status as a female). |
| 64 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Her Robot Master ability is apparently a rather harmless vacuum. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | !!Enker |
| 67 | ->"Being [[NighInvulnerability invulnerable]] makes for such fun." |
| 68 | Enker, the "Mega Man Hunter", was Wily's [[TheDragon dragon]] for the first major arc (basically, Mega Man 1). Following [[spoiler:his initial [[StuffBlowingUp defeat]] by Mega Man, he was revived for Wily's second attack,]] [[VillainDecay only to be shunted under Quintet's command]]. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:His Mirror Buster. [[https://www.ferretcomic.com/247 It acts as a focus for his armor so that the power concentrated on the edges does not cause him to explode.]]]] |
| 71 | * ArmorIsUseless: Thoroughly subverted. Getting hit by attacks is key to his fighting style. |
| 72 | * FailureKnight: Enker is remarkably devoted to Doctor Wily, despite the contempt he tends to receive. |
| 73 | * ForeverWar: A particularly heartbreaking, one-robot instance. In the BadFuture arc "Too Serious", [[spoiler:both Doctor Light and Wily are dead, and constant robot warfare has torn the world apart]]. |
| 74 | -->'''Mega Man''': (passing by) Hey, Enker. (continues without stopping, ignoring Enker's respone)\ |
| 75 | '''Enker''': [[http://ferretcomic.com/316 You... I... You... My enemy! You... Tell me, who is my enemy! Dr. Wily... Please, tell me who my enemy is! Where is my enemy!? Where... Please, someone... tell me who my enemy is... please... someone... please..."]] |
| 76 | * LawfulNeutral: Surprisingly stated by [[WordOfGod [=DisgruntledFerret=]]] [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 77 | * MythologyGag: Fans have mused for the longest time on why Dr. Wily doesn't just make a Robot Master out of the same material as Metools (enemies who can reflect all attacks). Ferret answers that through Enker, whose armor ''is'' made from Metool-type metal and it works quite well... [[GoingCritical right up until it doesn't.]] [[FridgeBrilliance There's a proper explanation for it, too.]] |
| 78 | * NighInvulnerability: His armor is made from Metool-type metal, and his Mirror Buster spear can reflect attacks back at his opponent. |
| 79 | * TheRival: Enker is Mega Man's first true robot-based rival in the series. |
| 80 | * UndyingLoyalty: Sadly enough, [[UngratefulBastard to Wily himself.]] [[spoiler:[[http://ferretcomic.com/1116 he's willing to take the fall and die]] for a man who cares nothing for him except as a tool.]] |
| 81 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Was not shown being recovered or rebuilt. He just shows up alive and well in "No Future" with no explanation. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | !!Quintet/[[spoiler:Rock/Mega Man V]] |
| 84 | ->"I've got myself a plan. I'm going to break the endless cycle of war once and for all. Under my rule, no one's going to have to be miserable or suffer anymore." |
| 85 | Wily's [[TheDragon second-in-command]] in the second episode, ''No Future'', replacing [[FailureKnight Enker.]] He is in fact [[spoiler:a time-displaced copy of Rock, designated Mega Man V, from an alternate future timeline that was introduced in the filler arc "Greatest Killer"]], and has his origins in the second Rockman World on the Gameboy. His is suspiciously familiar. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * AffablyEvil: Shown most in his interactions with Mega Man, Wily, and Enker. |
| 88 | * AppealToForce: His final goal. He plans to force world peace by taking weapons away from humans, aiming what weapons he keeps at the humans, and commanding them to never fight again '''''or else'''''. {{Lampshaded|Trope}} by Dr. Light, who references the Latin phrase for it: Ad Baculum. |
| 89 | * AsskickingPose: Done when mode changing into [[spoiler:Mega Man V]]. |
| 90 | * BadFuture: [[spoiler:Quintet comes from one of these. The details are unknown, but it's implied the planet has been wrecked to hell and ''everyone'' except for him is dead.]] |
| 91 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler:'''''DON'T''''' bring up Dr. Light when trying to lecture him for being a FallenHero. The loss of his moral compass corrupted him something fierce.]] |
| 92 | * CardCarryingVillain: Outright ''says'' he's evil. Quite a few times, to boot. |
| 93 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: He doesn't really like Wily. Not enough to help Mega Man or Dr. Light, though. |
| 94 | * FaceHeelTurn: It's really a question of how much Dr. Wily altered him, and how much is [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves bitterness over how the humans ruined the planet]] in his timeline. |
| 95 | * FallenHero: In a sort-of half denial about it, given he genuinely wants everlasting peace, and half not, given [[CardCarryingVillain he outright says he's evil]]. Though [[http://ferretcomic.com/1106 when he fights Punk]], he does say he's been slowly-but-surely re-learning how to be a hero. |
| 96 | -->'''Quintet''': But you know, [[VideoGame/MegaManZero1 this body remembers, even if my mind forgot]]. This body knows what it means to be [[color:blue:a hero]]. |
| 97 | * GaiasLament: His StartOfDarkness. By the time Dr. Wily found him, the planet was destroyed by the worst the human race had to offer. Part of why he agrees to join Wily is [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong so he can prevent it]]. |
| 98 | * IHatePastMe: Is not amused by Rock's innocence and naïve [[{{Determinator}} determination]]. He only sees every horrible event in his own life just ''waiting'' to happen. |
| 99 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: he uses Sakugarne, a modified pogo-stick... that is, a jackhammer. |
| 100 | -->'''Quintet''': "Beware my power, Rock! I am '''Quintet'''! And this is my nuclear powered pogo stick!" |
| 101 | -->'''Mega Man''': "Your [[FlatWhat what]]?" |
| 102 | * InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves: His motive. The human race has been ruining the planet for over ten thousand years, and the next thirty-plus didn't work out either in his timeline, so he's going to TakeOverTheWorld and '''''[[AppealToForce force]]''''' the humans into a peaceful existence. |
| 103 | * LargeHam: Granted, an ''evil'' one, but he has his moments. |
| 104 | * LaserBlade: [[spoiler:Acquired by PowerCopying Allegro in the "Greatest Killer" arc.]] |
| 105 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: For anyone who played the games he was in or got his info CD in VideoGame/MegaManAndBass knows he is [[spoiler:an altered Mega Man from the future]]. |
| 106 | * LawfulEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 107 | * MeaningfulName: Possibly. It's been noted on the forums that V is half of [[VideoGame/MegaManX X.]] |
| 108 | ** Also, a quintet is a group of five. Guess which number V is the roman numeral for. |
| 109 | * SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Why he agrees to join Wily and travel back in time. He plans to [[DragonWithAnAgenda backstab Wily]], and then enslave the human race so they can't [[GaiasLament destroy the world]] like they did in [[BadFuture his timeline]]. |
| 110 | * ShutUpKirk: Shuts down Mega Man trying to appeal to his morals by pointing out he hasn't seen what Quintet has seen, hasn't learned what he's learned, even saying that if Rock had, he'd also be doing what Quintet is doing. He's not wrong, considering that, between Wily's departure for the future and return to the present, Rock was going to '''''become''''' Quintet someday. |
| 111 | * SinisterShades: His first appearances have him completely in silhouette... except for his gleaming visor. |
| 112 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: During the latter half of "Water Hazard", he [[spoiler:floods an entire building just to kill Mega Man]]. |
| 113 | * TookALevelInBadass: Quint from the games? An absolute joke. Quintet from the comic? Hyper competent, super powerful, and the biggest threat in the series. Helps that he's Mega Man from over 30 years in the future. |
| 114 | * TwinTelepathy: He has this with [[spoiler:Future!Roll.]] It also seems that all robots built with a twin unit (like Rock and Roll) have a version of this. |
| 115 | * VillainousBreakdown: Briefly loses his cool when Mega Man says that Dr. Light wouldn't approve of what he's doing. |
| 116 | -->'''Quintet''': "[[ShutUpKirk WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?! You're just a stupid little robot that's barely a year old!]] If you saw what I saw, and you knew what I know, then you'd do what I'm doing!" |
| 117 | * WeCanRuleTogether: A slight variation. He genuinely wants world peace, but has concluded that the only way it happen is to TakeOverTheWorld and make the humans get along [[AppealToForce at gunpoint]]. |
| 118 | -->"The ultimate goal I have is peace. [[IronicEcho Everlasting peace.]] Let's work together." |
| 119 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Quintet's attempts to bring [[IronicEcho "everlasting peace"]] involve bloodshed. Lots of it. |
| 120 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Between flashbacks and the aforementioned Berserk Button, it's heavily implied that [[spoiler:in his timeline, Doctor Light died of an unnamed illness, robbing Quintet of his moral compass]]. |
| 121 | * WorfHadTheFlu: Would be even more of a threat, but he's out of practice. Fighting Mega Man helps him shake it off as he's forced to recall old tricks he hasn't used in decades just to keep up with, and eventually defeat, his younger self. |
| 122 | * ZerothLawRebellion: A variation. He wants to protect the planet from the human race's [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves thirst for war and conquest]] by [[AppealToForce forcing them at gunpoint]] to live peaceful lives. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | !!Quick Man |
| 125 | ->[[BadassBoast "... You're not just some weakling after all. That's good! When I start running, it's a Grand Prix. And when I start fighting, it's a battle royale!]]" |
| 126 | Supposedly the strongest of Wily's 8 Robot Masters in the second episode. As his name would imply, he's the [[SuperSpeed quickest.]] He's also ''huge''. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * BloodKnight: [[NotSoDifferentRemark "You're like me,]] living for a strong enemy to match. But in this era, how many will you find?" |
| 129 | * KickTheDog: A couple, but his [[http://ferretcomic.com/456 introductory scene]] in particular stands out. Squishy humans do ''not'' do well against Quick Man. |
| 130 | * LightningBruiser: [[SuperSpeed Very fast]], and hits like a truck. Par for the course for a creation of Dr. Wily. |
| 131 | * InertiaIsACruelMistress |
| 132 | * WakeUpCallBoss: What happens when Enker, Flash Man, Wood Man, Metal Man, Crash Man, and Quick Man take on Mega Man (besides the fact they do a lot of friendly fire)? [[spoiler:Flash Man retreats, Crash Man gets decapitated, Wood Man gets frozen, [[ButtMonkey Metal Man gets taken out by friendly fire, Cut Man gets curb-stomped by Wood Man]], Enker is destroyed, and Quick Man curb-stomps the military and puts Mega Man on the ropes single-handily.]] |
| 133 | * WorthyOpponent: To the point that he lays off destroying Mega Man completely the first time they meet, considering him insignificant. Later, he stands by and watches Enker fight Mega Man, on the grounds that he would fight him if Enker was defeated. |
| 134 | |
| 135 | !!Electric Man |
| 136 | ->[[BadassBoast "Can you put lightning in a jar? Can you put a thunderstorm under lock and key?"]] |
| 137 | One of the original Robot Masters, Electric Man is considered one of the strongest of the first eight, though this comes with a [[AGodAmI superiority complex.]] He gets a HeelFaceTurn after his initial defeat by Mega Man. |
| 138 | ---- |
| 139 | * BigDamnHeroes: Twice in the first episode, against the [[spoiler:Yellow Devil]], and then later saving Mega Man from [[spoiler:Copy Rock]]. |
| 140 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Not particularly embarrassing, but Electric Man doesn't like it when Mega Man calls him "Elecky". |
| 141 | * FaceHeelTurn: It wasn't his choice, thanks to Wily, but he then got a- |
| 142 | * HeelFaceTurn: Interesting in that Mega Man blew him up before this happened, and Doctor Light was able to repair him and remove Wily's HatePlague programming, making this a postmortem heel face turn. |
| 143 | * HeroicSacrifice: Used to destroy the [[spoiler:Yellow Devil]]. [[BackFromTheDead It doesn't quite stick.]] |
| 144 | * PsychoElectro: For a good guy, he sometimes seems a little... unhinged. |
| 145 | -->'''Electric Man''': Could you put lightning in a jar? Could you put a thunderstorm under lock and key, Writer?\ |
| 146 | '''Writer''': Yes I could!\ |
| 147 | '''Electric Man''': Haha... spunky. If I could see your eyes I'd know if you mean that. ''My electrical current will run through your little body like a beautiful river of death''. |
| 148 | * OffhandBackhand: Electric Man beats Metal Man this way during their [[CurbstompBattle brief fight.]] |
| 149 | * OnlyAFleshWound: When Enker [[SaveThePrincess kidnaps Roll]] during "Lightning Strike", he pins Elec Man to a wall with his Mirror Buster. He then volunteers to handle the [[spoiler:Yellow Devil]]. The following exchange results. |
| 150 | -->'''Mega Man''': W... wait, you? But you're already hurt, Elecky!\ |
| 151 | '''Electric Man''': Don't call me Elecky. And it's not as bad as it looks.\ |
| 152 | '''Mega Man''': That's good... Because it looks incredibly bad to me. |
| 153 | * PrepareToDie: "HEY, SLIMEBALL! [[PreAsskickingOneLiner YOU'VE GOT THREE SECONDS TO LIVE! USE THEM WISELY!"]] |
| 154 | * ShockAndAwe: Emphasis on "awe". |
| 155 | * SmugSuper: Justified, as he's apparently the most powerful of the first 8 Robot Masters (besides Mega Man), and unlike [[spoiler:poor Cut Man]], can actually hold his own against the second generation Robot Masters. |
| 156 | ** It does, however, [[http://ferretcomic.com/819 come back to bite him.]] Hilariously. |
| 157 | * WouldHitAGirl: Electric Man has no problems with the notion of frying Writer, but is prevented from doing so first by his own [[SmugSuper overconfidence,]] and later by Enker coming in at the last minute, allowing Writer to use her powers on Electric Man (again). |
| 158 | |
| 159 | !!Crash Man |
| 160 | ->[[BadassBoast "I am the Destroyer. The ultimate soldier. No pain. No human frailty. No weak emotions. Just murder."]] |
| 161 | Crash Man is another of Wily's 8 Robot Masters in episode II. He likes blowing things up. Like a lot. |
| 162 | ---- |
| 163 | * CatchPhrase: [[PreAssKickingOneLiner “Commencing barrage”]], which usually elicits an OhCrap from most robots in the area. |
| 164 | * ImplacableMan: Takes Mega Man's whole arsenal, is torn apart by a military robot, is repeatedly attacked by Cut Man, and just pieces himself together and keeps destroying stuff. |
| 165 | * MythologyGag: Being as he is from the future, he's made of a Titanium-V alloy. This references the Titanium-X alloy VideoGame/MegaManX is built of. |
| 166 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Crash Man" may not sound too intimidating, but he's called "The Destroyer" for a very good reason. |
| 167 | * OffWithHisHead: Not that it slows him down, mind you. |
| 168 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: By the time of "Mega Man Hunter", Crash Man has destroyed over a hundred military bases, killing and wounding an unknown number of military personnel. |
| 169 | * TakingYouWithMe: Upon being defeated, [[spoiler:he gives all of his energy into one final attack meant to destroy Aeropolis' engines and [[ColonyDrop bring it crashing to the ground.]]]] |
| 170 | * WhyWontYouDie: Said to him by Cut Man during "Live and Learn". |
| 171 | |
| 172 | !!ATLAS |
| 173 | ->"......" |
| 174 | Factor G's [[SuperPrototype pioneer super combat robot.]] Unlike the E1's, who are essentially mass production versions of the Mega Man chassis, ATLAS is unique, valuable, and [[SuperStrength extremely strong.]] However, he was apparently left unfinished, which is why he speaks [[HeWhoMustNotBeHeard in points of ellipsis.]] He is described as the strong, silent type as he doesn't try to communicate in any manner. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * ArchEnemy: To Crash Man, although [[spoiler:he loses in their second fight and Mega Man beats Crash Man instead]]. |
| 177 | * BadassLongcoat: As a rather transparent disguise. |
| 178 | * CyberCyclops: Although unlike most of the examples on that page, he's a good guy. |
| 179 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When Crash Man destroys an E1 series that tries to save his "chief," ATLAS glowers at Crash Man as he is blown apart. It looks like he will be rebuilt, however.]] |
| 180 | * AFatherToHisMen: He may not understand why the E1 series is so loyal to him, but destroying them is a good way to piss him off. |
| 181 | * ImplacableMan: ATLAS lacks the agility to dodge enemy attacks. He makes up for it by not needing to. |
| 182 | * LawfulNeutral: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 183 | * TheReveal: Spoofed in "Heavy Metal". Atlas is [[BadassLongcoat in disguise]] for the whole fight with Fire Man, until told to remove it by the Factor G-men. |
| 184 | -->Mega Man: "Omigosh! He's a '''robot'''!" |
| 185 | * SuperPrototype: The only robot of his kind, and strong enough to give [[PersonOfMassDestruction Crash Man]] a run for his money. |
| 186 | * TheSpeechless: He wasn't completed so his voicebox hasn't yet been installed. |
| 187 | |
| 188 | !'''Robots-Minor Characters''' |
| 189 | |
| 190 | !!Allegro |
| 191 | The antagonist of the Alternate Future arc "Greatest Killer". Allegro was created by a rival of Dr. Light for the sole purpose of destroying all that he had built. [[spoiler:His body was based off a wandering robot that may or may not have been Proto Man.]] |
| 192 | ---- |
| 193 | * AlternateContinuity: Not actually created by Ferret. He was originally a character from a different comic called ''The Primer Chronicles'' in which he was the BigBad. Ferret used him with the author, Esper's, permission. |
| 194 | * CastFromHitPoints: He uses his 'Life Energy' to try and call his laser sword back to him during his fight with Rock. |
| 195 | * EvilIsPetty: Discussed and lampshaded [[http://ferretcomic.com/554 here.]] |
| 196 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:In the face, no less.]] |
| 197 | * JetPack: His primary method of transportation, given that he does not teleport. |
| 198 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The aforementioned impalement happened with his own sword.]] |
| 199 | * MythologyGag: Future!Rock using his [[PowerCopying copy ability]] on Allegro is used to explain Quint's green colourscheme. It's somewhat fitting that Allegro himself also superficially resembles Quint. |
| 200 | |
| 201 | !!Metal Man |
| 202 | Metal Man is another of Wily's 8 Robot Masters in episode II. Based off of Cut Man's blueprints, he's the weakest out of the second generation. He's also [[JerkAss a douchebag.]] |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * DirtyCoward: He will use hostages, giant robot walkers, and beg for his life to get what he wants. |
| 205 | * TheChewToy: And he thoroughly deserves it. |
| 206 | * ClusterFBomb: His standard mode of dialogue. |
| 207 | * CloudCuckooLander: [[spoiler:Thanks to his transformation to Blade Man.]] |
| 208 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:He gets so sick of his treatment as disposable and useless that he blows himself up to damage Punk and Quintet.]] |
| 209 | * HotBlooded: After [[spoiler:becoming BLADE MAN!]] |
| 210 | * IneffectualDeathThreats: While he would like to carry them out, he most certainly can't. |
| 211 | * LargeHam: If filler is anything to go by, he is a egomaniac and wants everyone to worship him while he flies around in a space car and gets laid with [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia.]] |
| 212 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Thanks to Quintet's support units, he is now [[LargeHam BLAAAAAADE MAAAAAAAN!]]]] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | !!Reader & Writer |
| 215 | A pair of female robots, referred to collectively as "Harmony", who work for Quintet. |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * BackStab: Sort of. While Mega Man is trying to get Bubble Man to come out and fight, Reader sneaks up behind him and shoves him into the water, [[spoiler:destroying his Mega Man body]]. |
| 218 | * DeadpanSnarker: Both of them at different times. |
| 219 | * EnemyScan: This appears to be part of Reader's main job description. |
| 220 | * RealityWarper: Writer's 'Data Writer' attack appears to be something like this, except she has to make direct contact with the person she's trying to affect. |
| 221 | * RobeAndWizardHat: Writer is "dressed" in black, with what appears to be a pointy witch hat. |
| 222 | * SinisterShades: Both of them, a trait they share with Quintet. |
| 223 | |
| 224 | !!Cut Man |
| 225 | The weakest of the first generation robots, despite his [[HeroicWannabe heroic spirit.]] |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * ArchEnemy: Hilariously enough, he and Wood Man don't get along. While Cut Man was made to cut down trees, Wood Man is highly resistant to cutting attacks (despite literally being made of wood) because of his leaf shield and the tough covering on his wooden body. [[spoiler:The rivalry ends when Cut Man kills them both.]] |
| 228 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He lampshades it... by claiming he's immortal (it's actually Dr. Light's doing).]] |
| 229 | * BigDamnHeroes: He gets his chance when [[spoiler:Mega Man is controlled by Harmony units]]. It turns out the [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang Rolling Cutter]] is the one weapon [[spoiler:that one-shots the Harmony Units without destroying the host body]]. |
| 230 | * CallingYourAttacks: "ROLLING CUTTER!" "RAMMING CUTTER!" |
| 231 | * CurbstompBattle: Between him and Wood Man. [[spoiler:He loses.]] Cut Man's defeat to [[spoiler:Wood Man makes sense as he was (ironically) weak to his power in [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Cut_Man#Trivia Mega Man: The Power Battle]]]]. |
| 232 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When cornered by Wood Man, he's given one last chance to attack. He impales Wood Man on his scissors and declares that he is never, ever pointless before [[TakingYouWithMe throwing the both of them off into a pit of spikes.]]]] |
| 233 | * {{Determinator}}: Unlike many of the other robot masters, Cut Man was able to hold off Wily's reprogramming for a longer period of time then the stronger robots who fell pretty much in seconds. Unlike them, however, he went completely insane from the process (perhaps due to being the nicest besides Rock and Roll, having damaged himself by trying to resist for so long, or going insane was the only thing keeping him from going comatose). |
| 234 | * DysfunctionalFamily: Technically, Spike Man and Metal Man are his closest relatives since they are first generation bots in the same series. Obviously, Cut Man is the only good one among the lot. |
| 235 | * {{Flashback}}: Invoked and Lampshaded [[http://ferretcomic.com/1010 here.]] |
| 236 | -->'''Cut Man:''' N... NO! This flashback is too stupid! |
| 237 | * GoodIsDumb: A little, but he quickly shows that he understands that Robot Masters' free wills, personalities, and favorite activities were programmed into them. It's a not so subtle hint that he believes they are static characters and/or slaves (as he is being taken over by Wily, he hopes that it's just his personality developing even though that shouldn't ''technically'' be possible). |
| 238 | * HeroicWannabe: [[spoiler:It gets him killed. Again.]] |
| 239 | * UnbreakableWeapons: His scissors are unbreakable just like the games' WordOfGod has said. |
| 240 | * WhatTheHellHero: He gets this from Wood Man with regards to his previous actions under Wily's control. |
| 241 | -->'''Cut Man:''' Gh-n-newbie heroes have it rough...\ |
| 242 | '''Wood Man:''' You've chopped down trees, and you've chopped down humans. You're no hero. |
| 243 | |
| 244 | !!Fire Man |
| 245 | One of the original Robot Masters used by Doctor Wily in his first attack. After being killed by Mega Man and repaired by Doctor Light, he was stolen (again). It appears that [[spoiler:Quintet]] used him as a test subject for the Harmony Support units- which would later lead to his [[spoiler:[[KillItWithWater unfortunate death]]]]. |
| 246 | ---- |
| 247 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: During Wily's initial attack, then later on when he is stolen and augmented with Quintet's wormlike Support Units. |
| 248 | * FaceHeelTurn: Thanks to Wily... TWICE! |
| 249 | * HeelFaceTurn: Not for long... |
| 250 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Falling into the ocean fried his data chip, meaning that while Doctor Light could build another robot with that body, it wouldn't be ''him''.]] |
| 251 | * LimitBreak: Ultimate Fire Storm. Interrupted when Mega Man tells him not to save his best attack for last and hits him with Ice Slasher, promptly cutting it off. |
| 252 | |
| 253 | !!Air Man |
| 254 | ->[[ShoutOut "Even if]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann heaven itself forgives your shenanigans,]] [[BadassBoast I, Air Man, will not!"]] |
| 255 | The Robot Master Doctor Wily tasked with attacking Monsteropolis from atop Aeropolis. With his output increased to ridiculous levels by the [[WeatherControlMachine Weather Amplifier,]] he inflicted great damage on the city, only to be interrupted by Electric Man, [[spoiler:then exploded by Mega Man]]. |
| 256 | ---- |
| 257 | * BadassBoast: |
| 258 | --> I'm no longer a plaything of destiny. I'll grasp the future! [[color:darkred:Without fail]] I will, for the GREAT Dr. WILY!" |
| 259 | * BerserkButton: [[http://ferretcomic.com/927 Being looked down upon; being called weak.]] |
| 260 | -->''DON'T MOCK ME!'' [[color:darkred:'''DON'T YOU DARE!!''']] |
| 261 | * BlowYouAway: It's in his name, '''''Air''''' Man. The fan should be a clue. |
| 262 | * CallingYourAttacks: "CYLINDRICAL AERO SPREAD BURST!" |
| 263 | * HotBlooded: ''Dear. '''Lord.''''' Belts out a BadassBoast at practically every turn, is normally bombastic, and can be SuddenlyShouting at a moment's notice. He'd have to be Drill Man instead of Air Man, be obsessed with CombiningMecha, and outright quote Kamina himself to be more of a ''[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]]'' reference. |
| 264 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Intentionally invoked. [[http://ferretcomic.com/934 When he gets angry]], his vocabulary... [[IllKillYou slips.]] |
| 265 | --> '''Air Man''': I hate you. Die forever. |
| 266 | * VillainousBreakdown: As he slowly loses his battle with Elec Man [[spoiler:and Mega Man]], he turns from an [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness eloquent speaker]] into... ''[[http://ferretcomic.com/928 this.]]'' [[spoiler:During his last moments, he’s reduced to [[http://ferretcomic.com/942 tearfully begging Mega Man to let him win.]]]] |
| 267 | |
| 268 | !!Ice Man |
| 269 | ---- |
| 270 | * FaceHeelTurn: Thanks to Wily. |
| 271 | * HeelFaceTurn: Thanks to Light. |
| 272 | * AnIcePerson: An Ice based robot named after ice. Doesn't get more self-explanatory. |
| 273 | |
| 274 | !!Heat Man |
| 275 | Crash Man's partner and one of the next-gen Robot Masters. It's unknown how powerful he is, because he spends most of his time sitting on his rear. |
| 276 | ---- |
| 277 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler:[[http://ferretcomic.com/1069 Becomes this]] once his nuclear core turns unstable.]] |
| 278 | * BrilliantButLazy: [[http://ferretcomic.com/1027 There's a reason Heat Man's usually so incompetent.]] He might even be the strongest of the eight. |
| 279 | * DieLaughing: [[spoiler:At the center of an ''atomic explosion''.]] |
| 280 | * LazyBum: He abandons his partner, Crash Man, in the first fight with ATLAS, but not out of fear, but because he can't be bothered to actually fight. |
| 281 | * PlayingWithFire: Powered by an [[spoiler:unstable nuclear bomb]]. |
| 282 | * PersonalityPowers: Averted. Heat Man may be the single least fiery cast member in the entire strip. |
| 283 | ** Although, judging from strip [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/1003 #1003,]] he may start to play this straight. There's a reason for this. As he gets more angry and excitable, the more he uses his powers [[spoiler:and the more unstable he becomes. His core is fission-based and as he increases the reaction rate of his core, he gets more powerful. The price is that when the rate of fission becomes uncontrolled, it will burst out his body and create a nuclear explosion instead of a leak (Wily really doesn't care about his robots surviving, as long as they take someone with them)]]. |
| 284 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Quintet either thought that Heat Man wouldn't be a threat, or that he had been mind controlled with Flash Man and Wood Man. Either way, he was dangerously wrong. |
| 285 | ** Turns out that he's powered by [[spoiler:a nuclear bomb]], and using mind control would be rather risky. |
| 286 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Once Heat Man actually gets off his duff, his power source goes critical pretty swiftly, resulting in a maniacal shift in personality right up until his death.]] |
| 287 | |
| 288 | !!Spike Man |
| 289 | One of Wily's Robot Masters. He was initially incomplete, but was stolen along with Guts Man, Electric Man, and Fire Man when Dr. Wily made his second attempt at [[TakeOverTheWorld world conquest.]] Spike Man was also the first of the Robot Masters to be deployed during the second episode. |
| 290 | ---- |
| 291 | * SmugSuper: Much like Electric Man, only without the power to back it up. |
| 292 | * SpikesOfVillainy: A variant, seeing as he fires said spikes rather than wearing them. |
| 293 | * UnusualEuphemism: Spike Man uses the word "spike" a lot. |
| 294 | |
| 295 | !!Flash Man |
| 296 | Created to be Enker's partner. Flash Man's Robot Master ability- the ability to stop time for a short while- would be very useful if he were only more creative with it. |
| 297 | ---- |
| 298 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Flash Man's signature attack only works once on Mega Man, and it's also apparently the only attack he knows. |
| 299 | * DirtyCoward: "I'm not fighting someone who can fight back! #%&@ this!" |
| 300 | * KickTheSonOfABitch: Flash Man is a JerkAss, but watching him toss [[TheChewToy Metal Man]] into a [[SpikesOfDoom spike pit]] mitigates that. |
| 301 | |
| 302 | !!Guts Man |
| 303 | One of the six Robot Masters who were originally stolen by Dr. Wily. He, along with Fire Man and Electric Man, is said to have [[PowerLevels power output levels]] higher than Rock's. He was stolen again, and brainwashed by Quintet, reappearing to attempt to keep Heat Man from wrecking Quintet's plans. |
| 304 | ---- |
| 305 | * DishingOutDirt: Although technically, he just throws giant boulders. |
| 306 | * FaceHeelTurn: Wily keeps getting ahold of him. |
| 307 | * GiantMook: the clone Guts Men. |
| 308 | ** Plus, [[spoiler:the Harmonies have transformed him into Guts Dozer]]. |
| 309 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Super Arm. |
| 310 | * SuperStrength: Even more so as [[spoiler:Guts Dozer]]. |
| 311 | |
| 312 | !!Punk |
| 313 | Dr. Wily's third commander robot. Not very friendly at all. Very angry and violent. |
| 314 | ---- |
| 315 | * ChaoticEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 316 | * TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Gets released from Wily Castle at the beginning of chapter 3... only to be destroyed by Fodder’s new Doc Robot.]] |
| 317 | * UnknownRival: By the time of chapter 3, Punk is obsessed with killing Mega Man, while Mega Man has apparently forgotten that he exists. |
| 318 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After getting outsmarted by Mega Man, [[http://ferretcomic.com/1107 he devolves into a screaming rampage]].]] |
| 319 | |
| 320 | !'''Humans-Major Characters''' |
| 321 | |
| 322 | !!Dr. Thomas Light |
| 323 | ->"Fighting to protect what's good... that's a worthy cause! If that's what you choose, then I'll stand behind you one hundred percent. But, I want you to promise me something. "Right" and "wrong" are not the same as "good" and "evil". Sometimes what's right is not always the same as what is good. It's usually wise to do what's right. But, please keep in mind what the "good" thing is... and always shoot for that goal, with all your heart and spirit!" |
| 324 | One of the world's most renowned experts who greatly advanced robotics, and co-creator along with Dr. Wily of the original Sinister Six, Mega Man, Roll, Proto Man, and Reset Man, as well as countless others. May or may not have [[Franchise/StreetFighter participated in large fighting tournaments to earn money for his initial robot projects.]] A {{Chessmaster}} in his own right. He is passionate and optimistic. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * CallingYourAttacks: "DRILL GRAPPLE! A WHOLE LOT OF IT!" |
| 327 | * CoolOldGuy: The dude isn't a push over and is loved by his robots for his kindness. He yells at the soldier who [[spoiler:threatened Roll's life if he doesn't help build war weapons]]. He also attacks [[spoiler:Enker with a laser cannon, trips a harmonized Flash Man, practices Franchise/StreetFighter karate after his heart problems, and uses a giant robot to save Monsteropolis]]. |
| 328 | * ChekhovsGun: His [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shoryuken.]] |
| 329 | * HollywoodHeartAttack: [[spoiler:Averted. His heart attack is realistic if it was one in the first place. It's never really stated if it was one or just heart palpitations caused by the stress of the soldier threatening Roll's life if he doesn't help build war weapons.]] |
| 330 | * HotBlooded: Particularly when he gets out his HumongousMecha! |
| 331 | * ThisIsADrill: Drill-Grapple! [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill A whole lot of it!]] |
| 332 | * TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: What he was in his youth, if 'Daidigger D' is any indication. |
| 333 | * MacGyvering: This is why [[spoiler:Quintet fears him]]. |
| 334 | --> [[spoiler:Quintet:]] He'll build a death ray if you so much as let him have a [[color:red:cellphone]] and a [[color:blue:paperclip]]. |
| 335 | * NeutralGood: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 336 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives an absolutely amazing one to Dr. Wily. [[http://ferretcomic.com/983 It starts here.]] |
| 337 | -->'''Dr.Light''': ... Finally. I see you're already turning tail, Wily. [[color:red:You're a smart man]]... That's what I'd like to say. HOWEVER! You've sown the seed for your own end. The robots you sent to capture my factory not only provided a chance for Mega Man to hone his most basic combat skills, but also their technological secrets! You failed to remove the hidden failsafe I added in Electric Man six months ago... And you failed to understand the thought I put into one robot... With just a few parts from the technology of the future Sniper Joe, he became capable of overcoming your army! He was even able to replicate the ability of [[TimeStandsStill Flash Man]] for me. Having any trouble [[color:blue: ''seeing into the future'']] lately, Wily?\ |
| 338 | '''Dr.Wily''': - Wait, you...!? YOU SON OF A WHORE I'LL\ |
| 339 | '''Dr.Light''': '''''SILENCE!''''' I am [[color:red:''not'']] finished. I was already wary when you entered that infamous laboratory, [[color:blue:Chronos Institute]]! I knew of the [[color:orange:Time Vision]] project, and the [[color:red:Time Skimmer]]... And with the blueprints of [[color:indigo:Time Stopper]], there are many things which were now possible. Open your eyes Dr. Albert Wily! Haven't you had enough delusions of world domination!? [[color:red:'''''You lost''''']] because you don't understand the true potential science has for this world. Watch and learn. |
| 340 | * {{Shoryuken}}: Practices it to keep his health up, [[spoiler:which is later copied by the Mega Man's non-combat frame to crack open the Wily Machine]]. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | !!Albert Wily |
| 343 | ->"I could care less. I'm just here to humiliate you, Light! Maybe I can stop it! '''Beg''' me and I might. Beg me for forgiveness!" |
| 344 | -->[[BigBad Doctor Wily,]] in the process of [[KickTheDog kicking an entire city's worth of dogs.]] |
| 345 | The BigBad who wants to TakeOverTheWorld. He was Light's former partner, but he had creative differences with him, leading him to betray him early on. The recurring EvilGenius. Arrogant, meticulous, and arguably nuts. |
| 346 | ---- |
| 347 | * BerserkButton: He appears to have three: [[http://ferretcomic.com/850 being second-guessed by his minions]], said minions acting on their own initiative, and a certain blue robot... |
| 348 | * ChaoticEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 349 | * CrazyPrepared: Dr. Wily apparently prepared the Wily Machine II for [[http://ferretcomic.com/977 any eventuality.]] |
| 350 | * EvilGloating: He tends to do this a lot. Most conspicuously, midway through [[http://ferretcomic.com/884 "Mega Man Hunter"]]. Dr. Light and Mega Man mostly find out about his ultimate plan in "No Future" because he couldn't resist calling the former to brag, though it helped there was evidence to confirm Wily had done what he was bragging about doing. |
| 351 | * EvilIsPetty: Cannot stomach that he could be, or was ever, defeated. Parts of his plan in "No Future" have nothing to do with conquering the world, but are motivated by getting revenge on Dr. Light for thinking he's smarter than him (though he actually is, but [[BerserkButton don't tell him that]]) and on Mega Man for thwarting his plans. |
| 352 | * [[IDontPayYouToThink I Didn't Create You To Think]]: Does '''''[[BerserkButton NOT]]''''' like it when his robots question him or act on their own initiative, whether it's his Red Mega Man clone going after the original after finding out there's a clone, or [[http://ferretcomic.com/849 Enker offering reasonable and viable suggestions]]. |
| 353 | --> '''Enker''': I think it would be a wise move strategically to destroy [=LightLabs=].\ |
| 354 | '''Dr. Wily''': Well, there's your problem right there! Who asked you to think!? '''I''' do the thinking around here!! |
| 355 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Genuinely believes he's the smartest being on the planet, ''and'' that it gives him the right to [[TakeOverTheWorld rule said planet with an iron fist]]. |
| 356 | * JustAMachine: His ethos regarding the Robot Masters. Their purpose is to follow orders without question or objection. See above. |
| 357 | * KickTheDog: Among many other things, he treats the Robot Masters like nothing more than tools and has [[spoiler:Dr. Rely executed]]. |
| 358 | * MadScientist: Scientist of robotics, and megalomaniacally insane. |
| 359 | * ManipulativeBastard: He engages in this in order to get Mason to build him the time machine. |
| 360 | * TakeOverTheWorld: His goal, justified ([[ItsAllAboutMe in his head]]) by his superior intelligence. The only correct fact is that he ''IS'' a genius, though it was never in question. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | !!John Fodder |
| 363 | ->'''Fodder:''' "We only have one type of gun that consistently blows up the Wily bots, so I got a big pile of them heaped up for you. Also I got a pile of heat shields, a pile of super batteries, and a pile of expendable lackeys all up and ready to be blown apart. And as far as robots go, ATLAS and most of the E1 series that hasn't been destroyed are stationed near Monsteropolis. So you'll organize into a single united front, ready to sacrifice your lives whenever necessary or amusing to me." |
| 364 | ->'''Gunnady:''' "May I speak freely, sir?" |
| 365 | ->'''Fodder:''' [[JerkAss "Nah."]] |
| 366 | Initially the head of the elite US military unit, [[MauveShirt Fodder Force,]] where he became famous for putting the mission over the lives of his men. Following the Dr. Wily debacle, he was promoted to Colonel and approached by General Bauter of Factor G, to oversee the CY project. He never fights unless the odds are in his favor and he always looks out for #1. |
| 367 | ---- |
| 368 | * BeardOfEvil: Yeah, the dude is a jerk. |
| 369 | * DirtyCoward: He will shoot at Mega Man even after getting help from him, he will abandon his men in the field, and would rather sleep in then deal with any problems. He will only fight when the odds are in his favor and he doesn't care about civilians. |
| 370 | * GeneralFailure: It would be easy to compare his tactics to those of [[TakeThat the WWI British generals]] based on his WeHaveReserves policy if it wasn't an insult to the British. He's THAT bad with keeping his men alive. It's a miracle he was promoted. |
| 371 | * GeneralRipper: He's solution to everything is to sit in a comfy office and throw more men at the situation. |
| 372 | * GunboatDiplomacy: How Fodder enlists Dr. Kinto's help. |
| 373 | * LawfulEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 374 | * TheRightHandOfDoom: Actually, The Left Arm of Doom. He lost it to radiation burns while firing an experimental weapon (at Mega Man), and it was replaced with robotic parts. |
| 375 | * ScaryBlackMan: In fact, in personality and behavior he closely resembles [[ComicBook/TheUltimates Ultimate Nick Fury.]] |
| 376 | * WeHaveReserves: His attitude towards his men, to the extent that he relieved Lt. Gunnady of command after she insisted on retrieving the wounded. |
| 377 | * WithUsOrAgainstUs: His ultimatum to Mega Man: either fall in line and follow orders, or be destroyed alongside Dr. Wily's forces. |
| 378 | |
| 379 | !!Proto Man |
| 380 | Dr. Light and Dr. Wily's ''second'' successful intelligent robot (they didn't know it at the time). A mysterious robot who helped a wounded Reset Man to the best of his abilities. He then stole Reset Man's shield and left to explore the world. His current whereabouts are unknown. He mostly appears in filler now. |
| 381 | ---- |
| 382 | * TrueNeutral: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]] |
| 383 | |
| 384 | !'''Humans-Minor Characters''' |
| 385 | |
| 386 | !!Fodder Force Uber Team |
| 387 | Captain John Fodder's squad in the Mega Man 1 storyline. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Of which, all have died.]] [[spoiler:Except for [[NoNameGiven the redheaded soldier]], who was brought back from the dead after Light's Time Gambit.]] |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * MauveShirt: Parodied somewhat as the author cut away from the [[spoiler:Red-Headed soldier before we could hear him tell Gunnady his name. He is then killed in the next fight]]. He gets better. |
| 390 | |
| 391 | !!Lt. Roberta Gunnady |
| 392 | Colonel Fodder's direct subordinate in Factor G, replacing his original, unseen assistant, [[PunnyName Leon Diedde,]] after his unfortunate death. She initially considers it an honor to be working under someone as famous as him, but later appears to realize that [[BrokenPedestal "notorious" would probably be a better word.]] |
| 393 | ---- |
| 394 | * CloserToEarth: She is a competent soldier unlike Fodder, for one. |
| 395 | * GoodIsOldFashioned: Trying to be a decent person gets her canned by Fodder. |
| 396 | * QuicklyDemotedWoman: Unfortunate, especially considering that she's one of the strip's five female characters. Three are robots and one is rather minor, not to mention [[spoiler:quite dead. Then she is promoted to Captain of the Fodder Force]]. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | !!Jeff Mason |
| 399 | ---- |
| 400 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Doctor Wily's offer is, in short: "Build me the Time Skimmer or I'll kill you". Interestingly, Mason actually ''does'' refuse for a while, until Dr. Otto convinces him otherwise. |
| 401 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Happens to him near the end of "Not Just Yet". [[spoiler:He and D. Otto cybernetically enslaved as a 'biological computer'.]] |
| 402 | -->[[spoiler:Mason: Kill me.]] |
| 403 | |
| 404 | !!Doctor Lowe |
| 405 | A scientist who worked at the Chronos Institute. He helped invent a way to time travel. With 9 comics to his name, he's appeared as much as iXMega Man. He seems to be angry at Dr. Light for some reason. |
| 406 | ---- |
| 407 | * RunningGag: His fish-based robots. |
| 408 | |
| 409 | !!Doctor Rely |
| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * BrainyBrunette: Brainy enough to be building a time machine. Unfortunately, she's a terrible judge of character. |
| 412 | * DisposableWoman: [[spoiler:While Wily kept Dr. Otto and Dr. Mason alive, he does no such thing for Doctor Rely. On the other hand, considering what then happens to Otto and Mason, death was a blessing.]] |
| 413 | ---- |
| 414 | |
| 415 | !Other Filler Characters: |
| 416 | |
| 417 | !![=DisgruntledFerret=]: |
| 418 | -> 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. |
| 419 | --> AltText for strip #959 |
| 420 | As the only name given for the author, [=DisgruntledFerret=] is a reoccurring character in the filler strips. He loves videogames, is often lazy, gets bored easily, acts tough (he's a ferret), and loves seeing his characters in pain. Enjoys fillers, groundhogs, sleeping, and shiny things. |
| 421 | ---- |
| 422 | * AuthorAvatar: The only name given for the author. |
| 423 | * AuthorGuestSpot: Averted. He had to specifically say on his character page that [=DisgruntledFerret=] would not interfere with the regular story (his comic is [[TropeCodifier hosted on the]] Webcomic/BobAndGeorge website), but he regularly talks to the characters and breaks the fourth wall in filler. |
| 424 | * CharacterAlignment: Listed as "ok". |
