ABOUT THIS CACHE

Elec Man

ELEC MAN
Atomic Energy Controller

He's made of metal, his circuits gleam: he's Elec Man! Hailed at the time (just before Dr. Wily's takeover) as Dr. Light's greatest creation, Elec Man was built to control the voltage of the 200X world's many nuclear power plants. With his signature weapon, the Thunder Beam, Elec Man will be zappin' it to ya with a triple shot of extremely high voltage. And with his incredible speed and physical agility he won't keep you waitin' all lifelong to feel that shock! All that power made Elec Man rather conceited even before reprogramming - he'd probably chide Mega Man's quest as that of a holy fool who's fallen just a little too far from heaven, preferring instead to jam out on his electric guitar and pursue his passion for music, songs, and (after all the music's been played out) the retro notion of songs without music. But with Dr. Wily having reprogrammed Elec Man - and, through him, the robot minds of robot slaves working the world's power stations - well, now in the street there is violence (not to mention mayhem and destruction), and the supercharged chaos brought by Elec Man is the cause!
