Mega Man (Mega Man 1-7; 9-present)

Mega Man, known as Rockman (ロックマン Rokkuman, from the phrase "Rock 'n Roll") in Japan, is the title protagonist of the "classic" Mega Man series developed by Capcom since 1987. He is also known as Mega or Rock in his original form. The pixel art for him was created by the designer of the original game in the series, Akira Kitamura (credited under the pseudonym "A.K"), and later turned into a refined illustration by Keiji Inafune (credited under the pseudonym "Inafking").

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the most famous mascots in video game history.
 * 2) Mega Man's personality seems to stem from his creator, Dr. Light, whose intention may have been to design Rock based on his own interpretation of a real boy as if it were his very own son.
 * 3) He always tried to find an alternative to violence.
 * 4) He can choose an weapon form other Bosses.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) However, Mega Man is a bit naive, and Wily's frequent false repentances have become a constant frustration to Mega Man who appears to developing less patience with him.
 * 2) Mega Man was out of character in Mega Man 8.
