Elec Man (エレキマン Erekiman?) is a Robot Master from the original Mega Man series. He was built by Dr. Light to control the voltage of nuclear power plants. At the time of his creation, Elec Man was often hailed as Dr. Light's greatest creation and boasts razor-sharp judgement, as well as a physical agility that would not be matched until the creation of Quick Man, who is in turn based on his design.
His Special Weapon, the Thunder Beam, fires off devastating bolts of very high-voltage electrical energy in multiple directions, with sufficient power to go through multiple enemies with one shot and even break through solid rocks. Elec Man is very conceited and egotistical, with something of a sadistic streak in him, but is otherwise very responsible and competent. In his spare time, he has taken up playing the electric guitar.
History[]
Mega Man[]
In the first game, Dr. Wily reprogrammed Elec Man and Dr. Light's other industrial robots to help him conquer the world. Mega Man fights against Elec Man and defeats him.
Mega Man Powered Up[]
As a remake of the first game, Elec Man appears a boss, but he becomes a playable character if he's beaten by Mega Man using only the Mega Buster.
His personality gets a serious makeover, Elec Man now being very calm and noble, albeit arrogant and somewhat overdramatic.
