Number: DLN-008
Weapon: Elec Beam
Weakness: Rolling Cutter
A robot who controls electricity. He’s a strong enemy with speed and power to match. Take him down quickly with a weapon that plays on his weakness.
Probably my (Brelston’s) favorite of the MM1 bosses, Elec Man always felt a bit like a legit super villain. That mask and color scheme reminded me of Marvel's Electro, and his powers were the easiest to immediately equate with comic books. Super strength could be any of a billion characters. Bombs & blades too. But hurling electric beams felt right out of a Spidey comic.
This strong design is backed by Elec Man's abilities - he's considered among the strongest overall MM1 Robot Masters (according to Dr. Light, that is!). His original purpose was to monitor the power of nuclear power plants, which is not something you hand over to just any industrial robot.
Elec Man's pulpy design moved me so much that I made a PixelBlock of him several years ago. He's been chilling on my desk ever since!
