I was created by the computer genius Dr. Light. He named me Rock, and I was to be his lab assistant. Those were peaceful times, as I helped him in making things that would help all of humankind! But then, that evil scientist and former partner of Dr. Light's, Dr. Wily, devised a scheme that would change the world as we know it. He wanted to rule the world, by using his robotic creations of doom and evil! There was only one thing to do. I volunteered to have my automatonic body augmented with special combat enhancements. I was stronger, faster, better! I would use my newly enhanced body to fight the evil robots, to save the world from certain destruction! To make the world once again safe for human and robotkind! From that point on, I would be known throughout the world as.... MEGA MAN!!!! (c) megaman j&k inc.In the year 200X (20XX in Powered Up), master designer Dr. Thomas Light worked to create a humanoid robot. This robot would demonstrate an advanced artificial intelligence program that would allow it to make decisions based on vague commands and directions. He called the robot project "Robot Master", because the resulting robot would be able to supervise the work of other, less intelligent machines. The first Robot Master was code-named "Blues", but came to be known as Proto Man. Proto Man had the ability to lead a small squad of other robots in military applications. However, before testing of his AI was complete, the robot escaped and was thought to be destroyed.With the disappearance of Proto Man, Light decided to create another robot. Fearing that the disappearance of Proto Man was due to the robot not having a peer, he created two robots at around the same time to work as a pair. These robots were called "Rock" (Mega in the Powered Up remake) and "Roll". Rock was created as Dr. Light's lab assistant. His sister, Roll, was designed for housekeeping. With the success of these two test-type robots, Light designed and built eight production-type robots, mainly to be used in the construction and maintenance of public works. These robots were Cut Man, a land reclamation robot; Guts Man, a construction and excavation robot; Ice Man, a robot designed for exploration in extreme freezing temperatures; Bomb Man, a mining robot designed to work with Guts Man; Fire Man, designed for waste management; and Elec Man, designed to oversee and control atomic energy power plants. The enhanced remake Mega Man: Powered Up has also retconned into existence Time Man, designed to research time travel with his ability to slow down time, and Oil Man, designed for maintenence by generating oil for machinery and firing it through his arm cannon. Each of these robots had full use of the Robot Master's intelligence and reasoning potential. The time finally came for Dr. Light to be recognized by the world for his contributions to science. Dr. Albert W. Wily, an old colleague and rival, grew jealous when his unique research was utterly overshadowed by Dr. Light. He stumbled upon Proto Man one day, who was dying when his energy system was malfunctioning. He repaired him, using his specifications to create the police robot, Sniper Joe. That's when he realized that he discovered while analyzing Proto Man, he had found a way to reprogram Light's robots. He decided that he could use these new robots to exact revenge. When Dr. Wily arrived at near Dr. Light's laboratory soon after announcing his plans for world domination, he failed to realize Rock and Roll's potential, so he went to the lab without them, claiming that helper robots are as good as scrap metal to him. He took and reprogrammed the eight construction robots so they became misled and forced under his rule. With his new followers, Wily seized control of the city and demanded recognition. Realizing that it would be very difficult for the armies to stop Wily without harming the city, Dr. Light knew something had to be done. Due to his programmed sense of right and wrong, Rock volunteered to be converted from his current state as a lab assistant into a fighting robot. Thus, from that day forth, he became known as "Rockman" (Mega Man in the U.S.) .
