Creator notes

Mega Man, known as Rockman (ロックマン, Rokkuman) in Japan, or Mega (Rock in Japan) for short, is the main titular protagonist of the original Mega Man series, first debuting in the game of the same name in 1987. He is a Light Number given the name Rock (ロック, Rokku), by his creator, Doctor Thomas Light, creating a pun with the name of his sister Roll, but he was dubbed "Mega Man" after being modified into a super fighting robot; in the English version of Mega Man Powered Up, he was already being called "Mega" even before he became Mega Man.

Mega Man's role in the original story is to battle the mad scientist Dr. Wily and his ever-growing army of robots, and stop them from taking over Earth by using their own special abilities against them. Utilizing his special Mega Buster arm cannon, and his ability to copy a defeated robot's Special Weapon, Mega Man must travel the world and traverse harsh environments in order to bring Wily's menace to an end. With the help of his creator Dr. Light and his assorted robotic companions, Mega Man's eventual goal is to one day achieve "everlasting peace".

Mega Man is a robot given the name Rock by his creator, Doctor Thomas Light, creating a pun with the name of his twin sister Roll, but he was dubbed "Mega Man" after being modified into a super fighting robot. Mega Man's job is to battle the mad scientist Dr. Wily and his ever-growing army of robots, and stop them from taking over Earth by using their own special abilities against them. Utilizing his special Mega Buster arm cannon, and his ability to copy a defeated robot's Special Weapon, Mega Man must travel the world and traverse harsh environments in order to bring Wily's menace to an end. With the help of his creator Dr. Light and his assorted robotic companions, Mega Man's eventual goal is to one day achieve "everlasting peace". Mega Man's older brother is Blues, better known as Proto Man, a prototype robot that often has his own agenda. Mega Man's personality seems to stem from his creator, Dr. Light, whose intention may have been to design Rock based on his own interpretation of a real boy as if it were his very own son. Rock, who would later be upgraded into the super fighting robot known as Mega Man, demonstrates a wide range of emotions, similar to that of a prepubescent boy, not typical of other robots, thus making him unique. Mega Man is primarily extremely courageous and just, choosing to become a hero and face the threat Dr. Wily posed because he wanted to help everyone and do the right thing, and he asked Dr. Light to convert him into a fighting robot out of his own will, acting outside of his programming in doing so. He hates disturbers of peace and fights to achieve an everlasting peace. That said, he is also a pacifist, and he always tries to find an alternative to violence. Mega Man loves animals, and he has three pets in three support robots: Rush the robot dog, Beat the robot bluebird and Tango the robot cat. Along with these traits, he's also kind, generous and polite. However, Mega Man can be reckless, and he's also a bit naive. Dr. Wily's frequent false pleas for mercy at every defeat have become a constant frustration to Mega Man over the years, causing him to become increasingly annoyed and less forgiving towards the mad scientist. Mega Man has also demonstrated strong leadership skills on the occasions where he works with a team. His siblings all notably look up to him, and even his older brother Proto Man has occasionally shown he's willing to defer to his younger brother for orders.
