After being modified for Combat Magnet Man has a tough guy like attitude believing he is tough due to his weapons. He also takes over a Magnetic field research base and builds a base out of it. His base is full of magnetic traps that can pull those with metal armor into the traps temporarily. He also would attack anyone who tried to disrupt his base.

Eventually Mega Man made his way through the base and encountered Magnet Man. Magnet Man put up a good fight but he was defeated by Mega Man ending his rampage. After his defeat the researchers regained control of his base.
