Dr. Light

Doctor Thomas Light, known simply as Dr. Light, is the father and creator of Rock, aka Mega Man. He is also the father and creator of Rock's twin sister Roll and older brother Blues, better known as Proto Man. In the 20th century, Thomas Light attended the Robot Institute of Technology, where he met Albert W. Wily and became classmates. They got along quite well, but their friendship ended when a committee decided to cancel Wily's Double Gear research in favor of Light's research into robots with independent thought. Light agreed to the decision as the Double Gear puts great strain on the robots that use it and he believed that powerful robots required proper judgment to avoid misusing its abilities. Light laments that his efforts to quench Wily's hotheadedness before it led him astray only ended up fueling the fire, and kept the prototype Double Gear system that Wily broke in anger. Light and Wily graduated together with their doctorate degrees on electronic enginnering, although Light always received more credit than Wily. Dr. Light won the LIT Manual Design Contest four times in a row, the golden prize in the World Engineer Award, and the Nobel Prize in Physics. With his pride hurt and tired of being in second place, Wily vanished, and Dr. Light didn't see him again for decades. Eventually, Dr. Light founded his laboratory to further the development of computing and robotics technology for the benefit of mankind in the coming era. Light became a world-renowned scientist and the leading expert on robotics. Light built a series of household and civil service robots. Not long after that, he created a humanoid robot with a much more advanced A.I., DLN-000 Proto Man, the first "advanced robot", known as a Robot Master in some sources. However, Proto Man's dangerous imbalance in his energy core and having a strong sense of independence, went A.W.O.L. before his repairs were complete in fear that his personality would change in the process. Yet, in the year 200X, Light would build on the successes and failures of the Proto Man project to build other Robot Masters, like Rock (a lab assistant), Roll (a housekeeper), and a series of industrial robots. When Dr. Wily grew jealous of Dr. Light's works receiving credit and his works not, he stole and reprogrammed Light's industrial robots, attempting to take over the world. Rock, having a strong sense of justice, volunteered to be converted into the super robot known as Mega Man. After converting Rock into Mega Man, Mega Man fights against Dr. Wily's forces and manages to defeat him. After Wily's first defeat, he tries to conquer the world again several times, and Dr. Light has been developing new inventions to help Mega Man counter Wily. Some of his main creations include Rush the robot dog, a little item transportation bot named Eddie, Tango the robot cat, Auto the mechanical assistant, and upgrades to Mega Man's Mega Buster.
