This article is about the NetNavi FreezeMan.EXE. For his anime counterpart, see FreezeMan.EXE (anime). For his Robot Master counterpart, see Freeze Man. |
FreezeMan.EXE (フリーズマン Furīzuman) is a Solo NetNavi from the Mega Man Battle Network series. He is Supreme Commander of the criminal organization known as Gospel. FreezeMan usually uses some sort of ice attack and can encase himself in ice for protection.
Design[]
Freeze Man is vastly different from his Robot Master counterpart from the classic series. He has light blue skin, a grayish blue armor (with the Navi Mark on the middle) and boots with green linings. Freeze Man has icicles on the side of his shoulders, hands, legs and head.

The Navi Mark of FreezeMan shows a white hexagon with a hole on it.
History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 2[]
FreezeMan unleashes the "Civilization Destruction Plan" which locks up all of the environment control systems around the world, resulting in natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and heat waves. He also leads Gospel in the Net, as Sean leads it in the real world. FreezeMan hides in the back of the Koto Area, manipulating the disasters. He is found by MegaMan and defeated.
FreezeMan appears again with KnightMan and MagnetMan to stop MegaMan in the Gospel server when he tries to dispel the radiation around the door to Sean's command room, but is defeated again.
Boss Strategy[]
Despite his protection, FreezeMan is very easy to defeat if one has a pack of Elec chips; in addition to FreezeMan being an Aqua Navi (and thus weak to Elec), the Ice Stage ensures any Elec attack will deal four times the normal damage. The battle can be even easier if the player has the Elec Style, as a mere use of a charged attack will deal decent damage to FreezeMan and stun him. With enough level of charge, the player could charge another attack, and continue damaging and stunning FreezeMan for the entire battle.
If none of these conditions are met, then the battle can be tricky, as there are two holes in the player's area, and due to the Ice panels any movement will cause MegaMan to slip to the very edge of the area, so the player must get creative to avoid FreezeMan's attacks, specially Icicle Fall. FreezeMan will not move from his original position, making him an easy target. Overall with or without Elec attacks, he can be a rather easy boss.
Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge[]
FreezeMan participates in the Battle Chip GP, where he is fought as an opponent in the tournament. Despite being a solo NetNavi, he is operated by a reformed Sean Obihiro in this game.
Other media[]
Anime[]
FreezeMan has two different counterparts in the anime. The first is a solo NetNavi that serves as the NetNavi leader of Grave. The second is a Zoanoroid of Falzer.
Manga[]
MegaMan NT Warrior[]
In chapter 4 from volume 4, Grave prepared a trap in the luxury cruise ship S.S. Queen Ocean. The Grave NetNavis CutMan, QuickMan, MagnetMan, KnightMan and FreezeMan appear to fight against ProtoMan, outnumbering him. When Kei Yūki removes the safety lock from Lan's PET, he is able to Jack in and MegaMan helps ProtoMan defeat the five NetNavis. In the next chapter, the fragments of the five Navis merged into the Grave VirusBeast.
Battle Story MegaMan NT Warrior[]
FreezeMan first appears in Chapter 26, as a Solo NetNavi that hijacks a bus that Lan and his friends were riding. He was quickly defeated by Elec attacks. Copies of FreezeMan were made as part of the upgraded Super Navi’s ability.
FreezeMan returns in Chapter 69, now as Sean’s NetNavi. He rescued MegaMan when he was found alive within Alpha’s remains. In Elec Town, Sean and FreezeMan holds off a horde of viruses while MegaMan runs to stop ShadeMan.
Abilities[]
- After the battle starts, FreezeMan will encase himself in ice crystal. The player has to first damage the crystal enough (41 damage in V1, 81 in V2 and 121 in V3) before he is completely vulnerable. Also, once the crystal is broken, FreezeMan will release a wind effect that constantly blows the player to the back column.
- Ice Stage (アイスステージ Aisu Sutēji):
FreezeMan starts the battle with the entire battlefield as Ice panels. He actives this if all panels (both areas) are not ice (he has 3 chips of these).
- Ice Tower (アイスタワー Aisu Tawā):
FreezeMan summons an Ice Tower that moves forward, moving up and down as it tracks the player's position.
- Icicle Fall (ツララフォール Tsurara Fōru):
FreezeMan drops a series of icicles onto the player's area.
- Amundsen Spear [1]: Anime only. FreezeMan shoots ice picks at MegaMan and pins him to a wall.
