As Mega Man, Rock possesses the Mega Buster, a weapon that converts his hands into a powerful energy cannon. From ''Mega Man 4'' onwards until ''Mega Man 9'', the Mega Buster can be charged to release a Charge Shot. Beginning in ''Mega Man 3'' and again continuing until ''Mega Man 9'', he also possesses the ability to slide along the ground. Both of these abilities return in ''Mega Man 11''. Mega Man's most impressive ability, however, is his Variable Weapons System, which allows him to copy the powers of Robot Masters he defeats. These weapons then prove useful for taking out smaller enemies or another Robot Master weak to that particular weapon in a rock-paper-scissor style system. | As Mega Man, Rock possesses the Mega Buster, a weapon that converts his hands into a powerful energy cannon.

Mega Man is consistently shown to have a strong sense of justice, highly valuing peace. These values were what led him to be converted into a fighting robot in the first place, and the games stress Mega Man's never-ending fight to ensure peace. It should be noted that these values were manually coded by Dr. Light, as he canonically does not have free will beyond the limits of his programming. Mega Man does have his breaking point, though, as seen in ''Mega Man 7''. Tired of his repeated attempts at world domination, Mega Man attempts to kill Dr. Wily, but cannot do so due to his binding to [[Wikipedia:Three laws of robotics|Asimov's laws of robotics]]. It was this incident that drove Dr. Light to create a more advanced, human-like android that did not adhere to the laws of robotics, resulting in Mega Man's successor, [[X (Mega Man)|Mega Man X]]. This news inspires Dr. Wily to do the same, which results in the creation of {{b|Zero|Mega Man}}. The ultimate fate of Mega Man is unclear, however, as there are no traces of his existence by the events of ''Mega Man X''. | Mega Man is consistently shown to have a strong sense of justice, highly valuing peace.

Mega Man has a large group of allies and companions who help him on his adventures. Dr. Light and Roll often serve in an advisory capacity, while other robots help him more directly. Rush, Mega Man's robotic dog, serves as transportation for him by transforming into tools such as a spring or jet, or by directly merging with Mega Man. Other robot helpers include Eddie, a small robot that distributes items, Beat, a bird robot that attacks enemies and saves Mega Man from falling into pits, and Auto, a robot assistant of Dr. Light that creates parts and upgrades for Mega Man. | Mega Man has a large group of allies and companions who help him on his adventures.
