Cut Man (カットマン, Kattoman^?) is one of the first six (eight in Mega Man Powered Up) Robot Masters from the Mega Man classic series, created to be a timber-felling robot. He was built by Dr. Light and reprogrammed by Dr. Wily. He first appeared in the first Mega Man game. Cut Man is found to be somewhat formal as he addresses other robots as "Mr.". His scissors are made of "ceramic titanium", a fictional metal.

In most of his appearances, Cut Man attacks throwing the cutter on his head and jumping. After losing half of his energy in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (if he isn't the first boss), he will hide inside a "hole" created with his cutter and four holes will appear, Cut Man appearing from one of them to attack with either his Rolling Cutter, a Yashichi, two pumpkins, or eight Row Birds.

[edit] Appearances

• Cut Man is one of the main bosses in the games Mega Man, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, as well as the games remakes and collections (like Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Rockman Battle & Fighters), being playable in Mega Man Powered Up.
• Cut Man is a playable character in Mega Man's Soccer.
• In Super Adventure Rockman, Cut Man and the other Robot Masters from the first game assist Mega Man. If the player loses to Metal Man, Flash Man or Top Man, he will appear to save Mega Man and the player will have the choice to continue the game or quit.
• In the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8, Cut Man is a hidden boss in the stage Mega Man fights against Duo, making him the only optional boss fight in the game. Winning grants Mega Man a Bolt (relocated in the PSX version), and he is never fought again.
• In Mega Man X8, he appears as a hidden boss in Optic Sunflower's level, as some kind of digital form that is a replica of his 8-bit appearance and boss room. In the PlayStation 2 version, the battle only happens if there is a save of Mega Man X: Command Mission in the Memory Card or a code is used in the title screen. In the PC version the player has to obtain high scores in the sections.
• Cut Man makes a cameo appearance during the intro of Mega Man 7. He appears in the newspaper article that was shown, along with his own logo that's reminiscent of the Rockman logo. This led to a lot of speculation that Cut Man was a hidden boss (just like Proto Man was), and many thought that the Rolling Cutter could be obtained, which would explain the missing weapon slot on the pause menu. However, according to the Rockman 7 prototype, the missing weapon turned out to be Beat, which would function the exact same way as he did in Mega Man 5 and Mega Man 6.
• Various Cut Man toys appear in the first part of Clown Man's stage in Mega Man 8.

[edit] Other media

Cut Man and Guts Man appeared in all the episodes of the Mega Man cartoon series and in the fifth episode of Captain N: The Game Master. Cut Man also appeared in several manga, like Rockman Megamix, Rockman and Rockman 4Koma Great March.

His NetNavi counterpart, CutMan.EXE, appeared in MegaMan NT Warrior. In the anime MegaMan NT Warrior, there are 7 CutMan.EXE, 6 are brothers and one is their grandfather.

[edit] Mega Man

Cut Man is in every episode of the Mega Man cartoon series along with Guts Man. Originally intended for logging operations, Cut Man now is used as an agent of evil by Dr. Wily. Although his Rolling Cutters are deadly, Cut Man also isn't too bright and usually loses battles to Mega Man and even Roll.

Cut Man had his own action figure.

Despite being in every episode, Cut Man is the only Robot Master from the first Mega Man game to not appear at all in the show's introduction sequence. His polar opposite in this regard is Napalm Man, who appears in the intro, and is the only Robot Master from any other game to do so, despite never appearing once in any episode.

Differences: This Cut Man's ears are orange (they are white in the games) and his cutters are often fired (not thrown) from his head or an arm blaster.
He also has an annoying wheezing voice that resembles Peter Lorre.

[edit] Captain N: The Game Master

Cut Man also appears in the fifth episode of Captain N: The Game Master, where he is called Cutsman. His appearance is totally different from the original, he is green and the cutter on his head looks more like a giant scissor. He was quite powerful, proving invulnerable to the heroes' attacks until they distracted him so that he was hit by his own returning cutters.

[edit] Trivia

• Cut Man's dislike of rocks refers to the popular game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" where rock beats scissors. Also, his Japanese dislike is the name of this game in Japan.
• The design on Cut Man's arms from the Ruby Spears cartoon is similar to Tengu Man's.
• When playing as him in Mega Man Powered Up, he will try to talk to Yellow Devil in his own tongue. This is apparently more proof of his politeness. (However, the results of his actions aren't so great...)
