The Metal Blade was first introduced in ''Mega Man 2'' as the weapon of Metal Man, one of the eight robot master bosses in the game. After defeating Metal Man, Mega Man receives the Metal Blade as a special weapon. The weapon is infamous among the ''Mega Man'' fanbase for being a near-gamebreaking weapon; it can be thrown in eight directions, has a large hitbox, does not disappear if the damage is enough to kill the enemy (allowing several kills with a single shot), and can be used 112 times before running out of weapon energy (or infinitely by way of a glitch). In addition, it serves as the weakness of Bubble Man, Flash Man, and destroys Metal Man himself when he is rematched in [[Dr. Wily's Castle]] with only one shot when playing in Normal Mode (two shots in Difficult Mode), and is more effective against Wood Man than the Mega Buster (though there are other weapons more effective against Wood Man). There are, however, certain bosses that are completely immune to it, and the final boss restores health from getting hit by it (and every weapon excluding Bubble Lead, his weakness). | The Metal Blade was first introduced in ''Mega Man 2'' as the weapon of Metal Man, one of the eight robot master bosses in the game.

One of the move variations, Hyper Bomb, was introduced in ''Mega Man'' as the power of Bomb Man. The bombs that Mega Man throws with this power travel in an arc, then set off after some time (unlike in ''Smash'', they would not explode automatically on contact). Hyper Bomb is the weakness of Guts Man in ''Mega Man'' and the weakness of Ice Man in ''Mega Man Powered Up''. In addition, ''Mega Man Powered Up'' was the game that allows the hyper bombs to explode on contact, but can only be aimed while playing as Bomb Man. | One of the move variations, Hyper Bomb, was introduced in ''Mega Man'' as the power of Bomb Man.

The second variation, Shadow Blade, was introduced in ''Mega Man 3'' as the power of Shadow Man. The blades are shurikens that can be fired in five directions in its first appearance. Only one Shadow Blade would appear at a time if Mega Man shoots it. Shadow Blade is the weakness of Spark Man as well as Magnet Man. | ||
