* UnresolvedSexualTension[=/=]ShipTease: They are implied to have hots for Mega Man, or Proto Man in Ciel’s and Prairie’s cases.

This is notably the only archetype not to be introduced through the Classic series; The original rival, Vile, predates the Classic Series' Bass by 15 months.

The guy who the series is named after. He (or [[VideoGame/MegaManZX she)]] is a blue boy ([[VideoGame/MegaManZX or girl]]) who fights for everlasting peace with his trademark ArmCannon and PowerCopying abilities. They are always playable, [[VideoGame/MegaManZero except when they are not.]] Notable Mega Man archetype examples include [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Original Mega Man]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]], [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Mega Man Volnutt]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Mega Man EXE]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Mega Man Model X, Mega Man Model A]] and [[VideoGame/MegaManStarforce Geo Stelar/Omega-Xis]].

* CombatAndSupport: Combat to Roll’s support.

* DistaffCounterpart: To Mega Man, if they appear as {{Secret Character}}s.

* BreakoutCharacter: Zero is ''the'' definitive example for the entire franchise. Other Proto Men are also likely to be popular within their own series' fanbases.

Proto Man is probably the closest thing this series gets for a heroic CharClone. Proto Man serves as a BigBrotherMentor who watches Mega Man's back and has quite a BackStory. Out of the archetypes, he is the most likely playable character behind Mega Man (heck, in [[VideoGame/MegaManZero one instance]] is the only playable character). Notable Proto Man archetype examples include [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Original Proto Man]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX Ze]][[VideoGame/MegaManZero ro]], [[VideoGame/MegamanLegends Barrett]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Proto Man EXE, Zero EXE]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Girouette/Giro, and Mega Man Model ZX (in Advent)]].

* ForGreatJustice[=/=]Wide Eyed Idealist: Their motivation.

* OneManArmy: They often defeat the {{Big Bad}}'s army themselves.

* HeelFaceTurn: Either in backstory or in the game that introduces them. Giro averts this, but we don’t know much about him anyway.

* BigDamnHeroes: Their hobby, apparently.

** [[VideoGame/MightyNo9 Brandish (aka No. 7)]] is a mixture of Proto Man and Cut Man while Ray is a mix of Zero and Bass.

* AlwaysFemale

* TheChick[=/=]: They may not fight as well as the Mega Man, but the Mega Man can always rely on them for tactical and emotional support.

Each series has a girl who helps TheHero in his missions. These ladies' importance to the story depends on each series; they can range from the BigGood to glorified item shops. Rolls are rarely playable except as secret characters or via PowerCopying. Notable Roll archetype examples include [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Original Roll]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX Alia]], [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Roll Casket]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Roll EXE]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Ciel]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Prairie]], [[VideoGame/MegaManStarforce Harp Note]], [[VideoGame/RockManXOVER Kalinka]]

Oftentimes the {{Big Bad}}s do not operate alone, they need some underlings to do the heavy work. This is where Bass ([[ItsPronouncedTroPAY it’s pronounced BASE]]) comes in. Bass is TheRival and EvilCounterpart of Mega Man. Bass is more likely to be playable than Roll, either directly playable or via PowerCopying. Notable Bass archetype examples include [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Original Bass]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX Vile, Dynamo]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Bass.EXE]], [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Pandora and Prometheus]], [[VideoGame/MegaManStarForce Rogue, Jack Corvus and Queen Virgo]]\\

Given that there are plenty of {{expies}} scattered throughout the franchise, it is only reasonable that we keep track of them. No matter how much the developers have played with these archetypes, their core elements can still be recognized. These archetypes were reused in ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'', ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' and ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' as well.

* ClothesMakeTheLegend: Always in dark and light blue armor, with an ArmCannon and blue helmet most of the time. They tend to have brown hair too. [[VideoGame/MightyNo9 Beck]] and, to a lesser extent, [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt Gunvolt]] also follows this formula. Spiritia is the one that doesn't follow this formula due to the more magical nature of her series (so she uses [[PowerDyesYourHair something else]]).

Proto Man is probably the closest thing this series gets for a heroic CharClone. Proto Man serves as a BigBrotherMentor who watches Mega Man's back and has quite a BackStory. Out of the archetypes, he is the most likely playable character behind Mega Man (heck, in [[VideoGame/MegaManZero one instance]] is the only playable character).

* FriendlyRivalry:
** Their relationship with the Blue Guy is often like this, except for Giro, who sheds out the "rival" part entirely.
** The Proto Man of ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'', Copen, subverts this: while he has a gun and a shield like original Proto Man, he is thoroughly antagonistic to Gunvolt. Even if he's also going to stop the baddies' plan, he refuses Gunvolt's offer of alliance.

* AxCrazy: Not the most stable guys around. Pandora and Queen Virgo are more subtle about it, but still pretty insane. By far, Pamela is the 'sanest', in as much as [[KnightTemplar her setting allowed her to be.]]

* OneManArmy: They often defeat the {{Big Bad}}’s army themselves.
* BashBrothers: With Proto Man
* BlueBoyPinkGirl: Blue to Roll’s pink/red.

* ClothesMakeTheLegend: Always in a dark and light blue armor, and ArmCannon, and a blue helmet most of the time. When they go without helmet, they tend to have brown hair too. [[VideoGame/MightyNo9 Beck]] and, to a lesser extent, [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt Gunvolt]] also follows this formula.

* {{For Great Justice}}/{{Wide Eyed Idealist}}: Their motivation.

* GreenEyes: Everyone except for the original and ''Star Force'' examples. Classic has InnocentBlueEyes, while in Star Force, the main character has brown eyes that are tinted reddish-pink by his visor when in [[HenshinHero hero mode]], while his partner has red eyes.

Proto Man is probably the closest thing this series gets for a heroic CharClone. Proto Man serves as a BigBrotherMentor who watches Mega Man’s back and has quite a BackStory.

* {{Bishounen}}

* ClothesMakeTheLegend: He's right behind Mega Man in this aspect. With red helmet, a yellow scarf (or, as Zero popularized it, a long blonde hair), red armor, and (again from Zero) a LaserBlade.

* {{Fighting Your Friend}}/{{Fighting The Lancer}}: Each Mega Man and Proto Man fight each other at least once, though the circumstances vary.
* FriendlyRivalry: their relationship with the Blue Guy is often like this, except for Giro, who sheds out the "rival" part entirely.

* {{Laser Blade}}/{{Sword And Gun}}: Popularized by Zero. The original Proto Man uses a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe shield]].
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Averted; once Mega Man acquires all powerups, Proto Man are outclassed. Played straight in a way as they are popular with the fandom.
* {{Red Is Heroic}}/{{Bring My Red Jacket}}: They usually wear red armor. They also tend to get quite some abuse.
* TheStoic: They are always calm before fire.

Each series has a girl who helps TheHero in his missions. These ladies’ importance to the story depends on each series; they can range from BigGood to glorified item shops.

* BlueBoyPinkGirl: Pink/Red girl to Mega Man’s blue boy. Ciel averts this, as she is pink girl to Zero’s red boy. Kalinka is [[TrueBlueFemininity blue girl]] to OVER-1’s white boy, though it might not be canon.
* {{The Chick}}/{{The Heart}}: They may not fight as well as Mega Man, but Mega Man can always rely on them for tactical and emotional support.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Sometimes, if Proto Man hasn’t stolen the spot.

* {{Green Eyes}}/{{Innocent Blue Eyes}}: Their large, pearly eyes are one of their most notable features.

* MissionControl: In the Classic timeline; sometimes border on AnnoyingVideoGameHelper. Also Ciel and (to a lesset extent) Prairie, although they're less annoying.
* NiceGirl: They are kind, caring, and considerate to others’ well-being.
* PinkMeansFeminine: A good half of them.
* {{Unresolved Sexual Tension}}/{{Ship Tease}}: They are implied to have hots for Mega Man, or Proto Man in Ciel’s and Prairie’s cases.

Oftentimes the {{Big Bad}}s do not operate alone, they need some underlings to do the heavy work. This is where Bass ([[ItsPronouncedTroPAY it’s pronounced BASE]]) comes in. Bass are essentially TheRival and EvilCounterpart of Mega Man. Bass are more likely to be playable than Roll, either directly playable or via PowerCopying.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: They only work for BigBad because their goals demand it. More often than not, they hate the BigBad as much as they hate the heroes.
* EnemyMine: Are not above joining forces with Mega Man. Just don’t mistake this for a HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Jerkass}}/{{Jerk With A Heart Of Gold}}

* WildCard
