'''Mega Man''' ({{ja|ロックマン|Rokkuman}}, ''Rockman''), also | '''Mega Man''' ({{ja|ロックマン|Rokkuman}}, ''Rockman''), also known as '''Rock''' ({{ja|ロック|Rokku}}, ''Rock'') and occasionally '''Mega''' in English translations, is the titular character and a main protagonist of the {{uv|Mega Man}} series by [[Capcom]]. He is a robot who was built by Dr. Light as a lab assistant, but when the world was thrown into danger by the evil Dr. Wily, Mega Man volunteered to be upgraded into a fighting robot to fight for peace. He was first announced as a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' in the [[E3]] 2013 [[Nintendo Direct]]. | ||

Mega Man is a highly-advanced fighting robot created by the brilliant scientist Dr. Thomas Light, though he was not born this way. In the year 20XX, Dr. Light created two household robots: a boy named Rock, designed as a lab assistant, and a girl named Roll, designed for house work. He also made at least six other robots called Robot Masters who worked in industrial capacities. One day, Dr. Light's former colleague, [[Dr. Wily|Dr. Albert Wily]], suddenly kidnapped his Robot Masters and reprogrammed them into his servants in a bid to conquer the world. Struck by this injustice, Rock volunteered to be modified into a fighting robot in order to stop Dr. Wily's evil robot army. With his new blue armor and Mega Buster, Rock became Mega Man. As Mega Man, he would thwart Wily's plans time and time again across the series. | Mega Man was designed by Akira Kitamura and Keiji Inafune.

Mega Man's main weapon is the Mega Buster, a system that can convert one of his hands into a powerful energy cannon. Starting in ''Mega Man 4'', the Mega Buster can often be charged to release a more powerful Charge Shot. Another of his main skills is the ability to slide along the ground. Mega Man's most impressive ability, however, is the Weapon Change System, which allows him to copy the powers of the Robot Master bosses he defeats. These Special Weapons then prove useful for taking out enemies or traversing areas, and are strong against another Robot Master weak to that particular weapon in a rock-paper-scissors system. | Mega Man's main weapon is the Mega Buster, a system that can convert one of his hands into a powerful energy cannon.
