Elec Man (エレキマン, Elecman) is a character from the Mega Man universe who appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, Elec Man runs and jumps about the stage, unleashing multiple Thunder Beam attacks. He fires two electric projectiles at once (three if he is in the air while firing), releasing them both vertically and horizontally. Much like Mega Man, he uses his proportions from his original NES sprite rather than those of the official artwork. He can be flinched if he's attacked.

Origin

Elec Man is one of the six (eight in Mega Man Powered Up) Robot Masters in Mega Man. Like most of the other Robot Masters, Elec Man was created by Dr. Light, Mega Man's creator, as an advanced humanoid robot to perform industrial tasks. In particular, he was designed to control energy usage in Nuclear Power Plants, and was often hailed as one of Dr. Light's greatest creations due to his razor-sharp calculation and judgment. However, he was reprogrammed by Dr. Light's former assistant Dr. Wily, as part of his plan to conquer the world due to his jealousy of Light's success.

Elec Man is often considered to be one of the most difficult opponents in the original game; he is very quick and agile, and his Thunder Beam weapon is very powerful, being capable of destroying Mega Man in as little as two to three hits. He is weak to Cut Man's special weapon, the Rolling Cutter.
