Napalm Man is a robot master that first appeared in Mega Man 5, Mega Man IV for game boy, and future games. However, he made his debut in Mega Man 5. As mentioned he has appeared in other games.

Background- Napalm Man was created by Dr. Wily before the events of Mega Man 5. He was created to guard Dr. Wily's secret jungle base. He was also created to test Wily's new weapons. Moreover, he was created to be a heavy combat robot. During the events of Mega Man 5 he participates in Wily's latest scheme to take over the world. He launched an attack with the other robot masters, before retreating back to Wily's base.

He retreated to Wily's jungle base were he rigged with booby traps and explosives. He anticipated Mega Man's arrival. He was guarding Wily's base from Mega Man. He was very aggressive toward intruders due to the base being secret. Mega Man eventually made his way through his (Wily's base) and confronted Napalm Man. Napalm Man put up a good fight against Mega Man, but was defeated. Mega Man also destroyed Wily's weapon base as well.

During the events of Mega Man IV he is once again guarding a secret base for Wily. He also holds a key that Mega Man has to get to unlock a seal to Wily's new fortress. Once again he has rigged the base he is stationed at with traps. Mega Man confronts him again. Once again he puts up a good fight but is defeated. Mega Man not only destroyed Wily's base, but he gained the key needed to unlock the shield to the fortress.

He has appeared in other games usually being a weapon powerful house for Wily. He is very dangerous due to his combat abilities and firepower. He also appears in the Mega Man racing game driving a tank like race car. He can fire all kinds of weapons at other racers causing them to wreck.

Appearance- He is a human robot master with a design similar to air man as he does not have a human face. He is often seen with black and purple armor. He has a missile on top of his head that shoots missiles. He has bombs for hands that he can shoot out. He also has tank like tracks for feet with jets on the back.

Personality- He is designed for combat and military action. He is a walking weapon and he knows it. He also knows he has a lot of fire power that even makes his peers nervous. However despite being designed for combat only he is intelligent as he knows a lot about weapons development. He is also excellent at chemistry. He also very loyal especially to Wily. When Wily ask him to do a job he does it. Surprisingly he is good at making deals.

Attack- Napalm Man has several attacks. If he is thought from a distance he will spam missiles and fire his napalm bombs at a longer range. In short distance he will spam his napalm bombs. His bombs are powerful and can explode on contact or bounce around than explode. He is also a very good jumper. He likes to jump and fire bombs to make more explosives. He can also use his feet to dash across the room.

In Mega Man IV he attacks the same he will use missiles, Napalm bombs, and dash across the room. He appears to be more random in this game though.

In the Mega Man fighting games he maintains his attacks except can be faster in these games.

Weakness- In Mega Man 5 and Mega Man IV he is weak to crystal eye. The Crystal eyes penetrate his armor. However, due to having very thick armor it takes a while for him to go down. He can be fought at a distance with charged buster shots but the player has to dodge his spamming of missiles. In the fighting games he is weak to Gemini Laser as the laser can cut through his armor and short him out some.

If the player defeats him in all games they will get his Napalm Bomb. The Napalm Bomb can be fired either by jumping to explode on contact. If the player does not jump the bombs will bounce on the ground for a few seconds then explode. It is effective against ground based enemies.

His dislike for Metal detectors is because he sets them off due to all of his weapons. He does not like safety equipment because he is not considered safe.

Napalm Man's name and stage might be a reference to the Vietnam War. The Napalm Bomb was first used in World War 2, but it saw a lot of action in the Vietnam War it was a very powerful weapon. In fact, Napalm is still used by some militaries to this day. His stage is a jungle theme that could also be reference to the Vietnam War. This is speculation only and has not been confirmed by Capcom.

Regardless, he is one of the more popular Mega Man 5 robot masters due to the number of games he has appeared in. The other popular Mega Man 5 robot masters are Stone Man, Charge, Man, Gyro Man, and Crystal Man.

It is also likely that Wily highly values him due to his knowledge on chemistry and weapons development. He not only develops weapons for Wily but he tests them out. He is also valued because he has lots of weapons and good combat skills. This could be why he has appeared in several games since his debut. Usually, he is guarding or working at a military base in most games. This concludes the Napalm Man biography.
