Bomb Man, originally known in Japan to be "Bomber Man", (ボンバーマン Bonba-man) is a demolition Robot Master from the original Mega Man game.
Bomb Man was originally created by Dr. Light for the purpose of demolishing unnecessary buildings. He often worked with Guts Man on constructions jobs. It is somewhat of a mystery how Bomb Man is able to continually create his bombs.
In his first bid for world conquest, Dr. Wily stole and reprogrammed Bomb Man for battle. Used for offensive tactics, Bomb Man's Hyper Bomb is a powerful weapon. However, not all of Bomb Man's appearances are as a villain. In Super Adventure Rockman, Bomb Man serves as an ally to Mega Man, his most prominent role being to save Rock Man from Magnet Man, and in Mega Man Powered Up, Bomb Man can be rescued and becomes a playable character.
Bomb Man has a penchant for showy and flashy things, but he doesn't really treasure anything. He enjoys a good game of bowling, and stays clear of matches and lighters.
