Metal Man

Metal Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2. He was the first Robot Master built by Dr. Wily, created specifically for combat for his revenge against Mega Man. Wily based Metal Man's design on Cut Man. His Special Weapon is the Metal Blade, which are large, razor-sharp, circular saw blades made of ceramic titanium that he can throw at a high speed with deadly accuracy. His lightweight design also grants him high agility, but because of a design flaw, Metal Man is particularly vulnerable to Mega Man's Mega Buster and to his own Metal Blades.

Whilst Metal Man is a quick and efficient worker, he possesses a dry wit, having something of a reputation amongst his colleagues for being sarcastic and often untrustworthy. Directly relating to his skill with throwing his Blades, he enjoys playing with Frisbees in his spare time, but dislikes it when dogs get in his way by catching them. When Dr. Light saw Metal Man for the first time, he remarked that he was "the dentist of the future".

Metal Man is most infamous amongst players for being killed with two hits from his own weapon when fighting him for the second time in Mega Man 2, which was added as a secret trick to make the game more captivating. Also, a glitch in the Game Boy game Mega Man II can leave Metal Man stuck in the walls, making him harmless.
