  • When Mega Man takes his first steps into combatting Robot Masters, he asks why Dr. Light couldn't create robots named Origami Man or Pillow Man.
  • In Short Circuits #1, we see that Dr Light's first attempt at turning Mega Man into a super fighting robot "wasn't pretty". How not pretty? It turned him into Bad Box Art Mega Man.
  • In Short Circuits #3, when Roll imagines how she would react if she had Mega Man's powers, Mega Man becomes concerned that his sister might go crazy...
    "FIRE IS THE ULTIMATE CLEANSER!"
  • When Crash Man boasts about his being a combination of Bomb Man and Guts Man and how advanced he is therefore, Mega Man asks where Crash Man's hands are. Baffled, Crash Man realizes this and actually concedes to the question's logic.
    • The lack of hands becomes a minor running gag, such as when Dr. Wily asks Needle Man to help him move rubble, and in Spark Man's profile, which claims that he is stronger than Elec Man, but is jealous of Elec Man's hands. Crash Man also starts a "No Hands Club" for handless Robot Masters to join.
    • In the nineteenth issue's Short Circuits, Crash Man cries over his handlessness at a Robot Group Therapy.
    Crash Man: HANDS! Sob!
    Fire Man: (Pats Crash Man's back with his starboard cannon.) I know that feeling, bro.
  • Flash Man is defeated because he is jealous of Mega Man having hair, and wonders why his creator, Wily, didn't give him any .
    Flash Man: So...much...HAIR!! Why didn't Wily give me any!?
  • The "battle" with the "Alien" in the twelfth issue is concluded when Mega Man destroys the projector and Wily becomes exposed, much to his embarrassment.
    Wily: P-pay no attention to that man behind the hologram...!
    ...
    Mega Man: Evil invaders from space? How ridiculous can you get?
    Wily: You still fell for it! I saw you! You were scared!
  • When Dr. Lalinde tells Quake Woman she "would like [her] to meet Drs. Light and Cossack and their creations", Kalinka protests that she's not a robot. Cossack clarifies that that's not what Lalinde meant - but Kalinka is still his greatest creation, and he'll... explain when she's older.
  • When Needle Man is created, he stares at the cannons where his hands should be (complete with "Erm..."). Crash Man sympathizes and welcomes him into the "No Hands Club".
  • Worlds Collide #1: Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman attempt to settle what to name their new headquarters ("Death Egg III" or "Wily Flying Fortress") with Rock–Paper–Scissors... only to tie every time.
    Eggman: Wily Egg?
    Wily: Wily Egg!
  • After the crossover, Wily wonders why he wants to stomp on a carton of eggs.
  • In Issue 32's Short Circuit, Ice Man dreams of himself as a prince and Roll as Sleeping Beauty.
  • The Short Circuit comic in Issue 33 had Mega Man playing a guitar. Because the issue is called "Unplugged", thus he'd be "Acoustic Rock".
  • In Issue 37, after Dr. Wily pushes Dr. Cossack's Berserk Button, Cossack tenses up in pure rage and squeezes his mug's handle so tight the mug breaks off the handle, with Roll dashing in to catch it.
  • Mega Man's plan to escape an ice cavern does not impress Ice Man:
    Mega Man: But it worked!
    • Also, Quake Woman breaks her normal Emotionless Girl state with a huge smile, saying that part of her wants to do it again.
  • How Top Man reacts to Mega Man going through his "stage" can be considered Comical Overreacting.
    Top Man: That's not how you're supposed to do it! (Mega Man uses Rush Jet to pass a section) You CAN'T bypass those! You're missing the entire point!
  • When Mega Man reaches Gemini Man in Issue 42, he walks through the door Covered in Gunge and thoroughly confused about the area he just fought through.
    Mega Man: The eggs! The walls! This place! What's going on?!
    Gemini Man: Honestly? I couldn't tell ya. Experiments on growing algae or something.
  • Short Circuits #53 directly mocking the old Mega Man (Ruby-Spears) cartoon, The Lion King (1994) and Captain N: The Game Master with normal old Mega Man reminding himself to remember to get some basic quality control on his shows.
  • In one of the Short Circuits (specifically #11, Crash Master), Dr. Wily discovers that Crash Man crashed his car and his servers, so he tries to use him to crash the stock market.
  • According to the Short Circuits, Break Man, Proto Man's alias, has the power to take 15-minute breaks, as mandated by Union Man. He also had the power to make a four-month break for the Sonic Crossover.
  • Another Short Circuit introduces Mariachi, the robot hamster:
    Mega Man: Cool! But what powers Mariachi?
    Dr Light: The battery.
    Mega Man: Then... what recharges the battery?
    Dr Light: Mariachi!
    Proto Man: And people wonder why I didn't want him messing with my power supply.
