Mega Man 4 gave us some very popular robot masters. These robot masters are popular and recognized even outside of the Mega Man franchise. The two most popular from Mega Man 4 are Pharaoh Man and Dive Man. These two robot masters have appeared in several games since their debut in Mega Man 4. Indeed, Dive Man made his debut in Mega Man 4 and has gone on to appear in other games.

Background- Dive Man was created by Russian Scientists Dr. Cossack before the events of Mega Man 4. He was based off of a submarine. Originally he was built to help explore the deepest part of the oceans. In addition, he was also designed to protect ships from criminals, terrorists, and pirates. His weapon is the the dive missiles which has a homing ability.

Right before the events of Mega Man 4 Dr. Wily forced Cossack to work for him by taking his daughter hostage. Wily took Cossack robots including Dive Man and modified them into combat robots. Dive Man did not need to be modified that much considering he already had his weapon. Still, he was modified into a combat robot.

Dive Man made a base in the Sea/Ocean. However, despite being modified by Wily he did not act aggressive toward ships, and other subs due to his original programming. On the other hand, he would attack those that intruded his base. Eventually, Mega Man had to go under the sea/ocean to put a stop to Dive Man. He puts up a good fight but is defeated by Mega Man.

After the events of Mega Man 4 he is the only robot that Cossack rebuilt. During the events of Mega Man III he is once again working for Wily using the sea as a base. He is defeated by Mega Man.

Dive Man has worked for Cossack and Wily. However, unlike other Wily robots he will work for both people. It is speculated he works for who other hires him. Even when he works for Wily he is not as aggressive as other robot masters. He has appeared in other games as well. Therefore, he is one of the more complex robot masters due to working for both good and bad guys even after the events of Mega Man 4.

Appearance- Dive Man is a human like robot that when he is under water can resemble a submarine. He has a lens on tope of his helmet. He is mostly seen with blue or teal like armor. He also has fins on the side of his body and white/blue feet depending on the game. He has cannons on the side that he can shoot his dive missiles out.

Personality- He is an environmental friendly robot as he cannot stand to see destruction to coral reefs. He is also shown to be a good listener. He believes in law and even after being modified by Wily he did not attack unless somebody entered his base. He believes in protecting the sea. He despises Pirate Man because Pirate Man is a Pirate and does not follow any laws. Also, he was designed to protect ships from people like Pirate Man.

Attack- Dive Man is very fast under water. He can swim at a very fast rate. He can fire his dive missiles that home in on the player/opponents. Also, he can turn himself into a torpedo and launch himself at opponents and the players. How he attacks is relative to how close opponents are to him. If opponents are farther away he will use his dive missiles more. If the opponent is close to him he will use his torpedo launch attack. In future games he will use these attacks as well as shooting regular buster shots.

Weakness- Dive Man's has two weakness. His main attack is the skull barrier as it can wreck havoc with his armor. However, using this requires the player/opponent to get close to him causing him to use his charge attacks. Another weakness is Dust Crusher. Dust Crusher can hit him from a distance and can penetrate his thick armor. In future games he is weak to electricity mostly on land though as being a water themed robot master electric weapons cause him to short out temporarily.

If the player defeats him they will get the dive missile weapon. The dive missile can have homing capabilities and can be a good weapon to hit wall based enemies or hard to reach enemies with.

A robot that is like a submarine his missiles have homing capabilities.

Good Point- Good Listener

Bad Point- Motion Sickness

Likes- Coral Reefs

Dislikes- Pirate Man.

He is a good listener as he has extra censors like a submarine does that can pick up the slightest sound. Due to a slight defect he does suffer motion sickness if he does not at least surface once during the day. As subs often have to resurface sometimes. He likes Coral Reefs because he is an environmentalist robot. As stated he dislikes Pirate Man because of his lack of law and how he attack the sea not protect it.

Dive Man is a popular and complex robot master. He is complex because he was the only one that Cossack rebuilt the other robot masters were rebuilt by Wily after Mega Man 4. He also has fought with the good guys but also has worked for Wily some as well. However, even when he works for Wily he still believes in law. This is evident that he did not attack ships or subs unless they entered his under water base. He also still believed in protecting the ocean's eco-systems. When he is not working for Wily he often patrols the sea against dangers and those who want to harm it. It is speculated he might work for whoever pays him the most. Another theory is that he could work for Wily so he can punish wrong doers more. In one game Mega Man was sad he had to defeat him, this is likely because being a law robot Mega Man respects Dive Man even when working for Wily. Moreover, he is often recognized even outside of the Mega Man franchise along with Pharaoh Man due to how many games he has appeared in. This concludes the Dive Man biography.
