A robot of many forms, the majority of them blue, Mega Man is one of the world's most renowned platforming heroes. Going to battle against Dr. Wily, Dr. Cossack, Sigma, Dr. Weil, Copy X, a variety of other masterminds, and a massive array of Robot Masters, the many incarnations of Mega Man serve, protect, and sometimes question humanity.
There are a large number of Mega Man games, many of them released only in Japan, that are non-canonical in nature. They are included under Release Date only. Also included are a few other pieces of Mega Man media (though the vast majority of items on this list are video games).
