History Characters / MSPaintMasterpieces

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Flash Man is a JerkAss, but watching him toss [[TheChewToy Metal Man]] into a [[SpikesOfDoom spike pit]] mitigates that.

* SymbioticPossesion: 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.

* 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.]]]]

* 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.

* 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.]]

-->'''Mega Man''': (passing by) Hey, Enker. (continues without stopping, ignoring Enker's respone)

* LawfulGood: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]
%%* RobotGirl

* TechnicalPacifist: Unlike Rock, Roll doesn't approve of combat. While she's far from meek- and quite cantakerous 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).

%%* BackFromTheDead

* 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]].
-->'''Enker''' (to Mega Man): [[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..."]]
* LawfulNeutral: Surprisingly stated by [[WordOfGod [=DisgruntledFerret=]]] [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]
* 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 armour ''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.]]
%%* NighInvulnerability

* BadFuture: [[spoiler:Quintet comes from one of these. The details are unknown, but it's implied ''everyone'' is dead except for him.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:''DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT DOCTOR LIGHT!'']]
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He doesn't really like Wily.
%%* FaceHeelTurn
%%--> "Yeah... I'm only strong when I borrow the power of others. I'm just another failure. [[note]][[BaitAndSwitch A failure riding an]] '''''atomic fire breathing dragon!!'''''"[[/note]]
%%* FallenHero

-->'''Mega Man''': "Your [[FlatWhat what?"]]

* LaserBlade: [[spoiler:Acquired by PowerCopying Allegro in Greatest Killer.]]

* LawfulEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Quint from the games? An absolute joke. Quintet from the comic? Hyper competent, super powerful, and the biggest threat in the series.

* VillainousBreakdown: Briefly loses his cool when Mega Man says that Dr. Light wouldn't approve of what he (Quintet) is doing.
-->'''Quintet''': "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!"
* WeCanRuleTogether: A slight variation.

%%* LightningBruiser

* LawfulNeutral: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

%%* BlowYouAway

%%* HotBlooded

* 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.]]]]

** Although, judging from strip [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png #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)]].

** Turns out that he's powered by a [[spoiler:nuclear bomb]], and using mind control would be rather risky.

* NeutralGood: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

* ChaoticEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

* EvilGloating: He tends to do this a lot. Most conspicuously, midway through [[http://ferretcomic.com/884 "Mega Man Hunter".]]
* JustAMachine: His ethos regarding the Robot Masters.

%%* MadScientist

* LawfulEvil: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

* TrueNeutral: [=DisgruntledFerret=] said this was true [[http://ferretcomic.com/cast.html here.]][[invoked]]

* 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 Photo 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.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Arguably. There have been moments of plot importance where Roll has gone berserk. Subverted in that her only weapon is a ''vaccum cleaner''.

* {{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!

* FutureMeScaresMe: In an alternate timeline Rock "grows up" into a soccer-loving, somewhat responsible [[BattleButler house robot...]] [[spoiler: who later becomes the WellIntentionedExtremist Quintet.]]
* 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.]]]]

* SplitPersonality: 'Reset Mode'. [[spoiler:Apparently named [[Film/TheExorcist "Pazuzuli."]]]] He also has [[spoiler: Quick Man inside him now as well.]]

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.]]

* 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.]]]]

* 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.]]

!!Quintet/[[spoiler: Rock/Mega Man V]]

Wily's [[TheDragon second-in-command]] in the second episode, ''No Future'', replacing [[FailureKnight Enker.]] [[spoiler: He is in fact 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.

* AsskickingPose: Done when mode changing into [[spoiler: Mega Man V.]]

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: ''DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT DOCTOR LIGHT!'']]

* LaserBlade: [[spoiler: Acquired by PowerCopying Allegro in Greatest Killer.]]
* 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.]]

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: During the latter half of "Water Hazard", he [[spoiler: floods an entire building just to kill Mega Man.]]

* 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.

* 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.]]

* 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.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Twice in the first episode, against the [[spoiler: Yellow Devil,]] and then later saving Mega Man from [[spoiler: Copy Rock.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Used to destroy the [[spoiler: Yellow Devil.]] [[BackFromTheDead It doesn't quite stick.]]

-->'''Electric Man''': "Could you put lightning in a jar? Could you put a thunderstorm under lock and key, Writer?
-->'''Writer''': "Yes I could!"
-->'''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''."

* 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.
--> '''Mega Man''': "W... wait, you? But you're already hurt, Elecky!"
--> '''Electric Man''': "Don't call me Elecky. And it's not as bad as it looks."
--> '''Mega Man''': "That's good... Because it looks incredibly bad to me."

* 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.

* ArchEnemy: To Crash Man, although [[spoiler: he loses in their second fight and Mega Man beats Crash Man instead.]]

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.]]

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: The aforementioned impalement happened with his own sword.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Thanks to Quintet's support units, he is now [[LargeHam BLAAAAAADE MAAAAAAAN!]]]]

* 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.]]

* BigDamnHero: 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.]]

* 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.]]]]
* 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.]]]]

* HeroicWannabe: [[spoiler: It gets him killed. Again.]]

-->'''Cut Man:''' "Gh-n-newbie heroes have it rough..."\\
'''Wood Man:''' "You've chopped down trees, and you've chopped down humans. You're no hero."

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.]]]]

* 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''.]]

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.]]

--> I'm no longer a plaything of destiny. I'll grasp the future! [[color:darkred: Without fail]] I will, for the GREAT Dr. WILY!"

--> "''DON'T MOCK ME!'' [[color:darkred: '''DON'T YOU DARE!!'''"]]

* 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.]]]]

* DieLaughing: [[spoiler: At the center of an ''atomic explosion''.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Powered by an [[spoiler: unstable nuclear bomb.]]

** Although, judging from strip [[http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1003.png #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).]]

** Turns out that he's powered by a [[spoiler: nuclear bomb,]] and using mind control would be rather risky.
* 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.]]

** Plus, [[spoiler: the Harmonies have transformed him into Guts Dozer.]]

* SuperStrength: Even more so as [[spoiler: Guts Dozer.]]

* 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]].

* 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.]]

* MacGyvering: This is why [[spoiler: Quintet fears him.]]
--> [[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.]]

-->'''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?
-->'''Dr.Wily''': "- Wait, you...!? YOU SON OF A WHORE I'LL"
-->'''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.
* {{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.]]

* KickTheDog: Among many other things, he treats the Robot Masters like nothing more than tools and has [[spoiler: Dr. Rely executed.]]

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.]]

* 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.

* 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.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: Happens to him near the end of "Not Just Yet". [[spoiler: He and D. Otto cybernetically enslaved as a 'biological computer'.]]
--> [[spoiler: Mason: Kill me.]]

* 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.]]

-->'''Electric Man''': "Haha... [[YouGotSpunk 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''."

* LateArrivalSpoiler: For anyone who played the games he was in or got his info CD in MegmanAndBass knows he is [[spoiler: an altered Mega Man from the future.]]

* 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 StreetFighter karate after his heart problems, and uses a giant robot to save Monsteropolis]].

* 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 [[UpToEleven an insult to the British]]. He's THAT bad with keeping his men alive. It's a miracle he was promoted.
