Awesome / Mega Man (Archie Comics)

• Mega Man is about to finish off Wily in Issue 4, but he runs out of ammo. Wily takes advantage of the situation to fly away. Rather than let Wily escape, Mega Man runs towards a piece of metal left behind by the fight, jumps off of it, and proceeds to blast Wily's machine at point blank with a charged shot, keeping Wily from escaping. Also, this is the very first time Mega Man has ever fought Wily. Can't wait for the Wily fight in the Mega Man 2 arc!
• The fight with Fire Man in Issue 3. It basically amounts to Fire Man starts taunting Mega Man, Mega freezes him before he finishes his sentence, Fire Man gets punched in the face.
• Wily's buried under the remains of his Wily Machine, complaining that Dr. Light's robot had beaten him, but "at least I'll die with the satisfaction of knowing I was the better man." Cue Rock digging Wily out to save his life.
• During the "Wily Fortress" phase of the first story arc, Mega Man is forced to confront the Robot Masters again, but manages to avoid lethal blows this time. However, this sequence wears him down a bit for the Copy Robot, who proves to be more ferocious than his template, and nearly overwhelms him. In comes the Robot Masters, who completely annihilate the Copy Robot. This not only saves Mega Man some trouble, but frees them from the programming Wily put in them through a simple loophole: If Copy Robot is an exact duplicate of Mega Man, he must be fair game to satisfy the parameters.
• When the human terrorists Emerald Spears attack the robot convention, they are fully aware that the robots are Three Laws compliant, and that attacking the Emerald Spears would only prove their point that robots can run amuck. So Mega Man, Rush, Quake Woman, Pharaoh Man, and Elec Man take down the Emerald Spears nonviolently. Mega Man takes advantage of being a Ridiculously Human Robot by posing as an innocent boy running away from a rabid robot dog (Rush), and leading the sympathetic terrorists into locked rooms.
• After Wily reveals his double-cross in issue 45 and forces Light and Roll to power up and release Gamma for him, Wily makes the mistake of assuming Light's anger is from being just as much a conniving attention hog as he is. Light's responses to his prodding are merely assurances he can leave at any time, but after Wily continues to rub salt in the wound and dares to say he's the more talented one after everything he's done, especially to Thomas's daughter and sons, Light immediately grabs him by the collar and instills genuine fear in his old colleague as he is inches from going full Papa Wolf.
