- "Evil! Remember my name, for I am Fire Man! My flame o' justice will have its revenge on you!"
- ―Fire Man, Mega Man: Powered Up
Fire Man (ファイヤーマン Faiāman?) is a Robot Master from the original Mega Man series. He was built by Dr. Light to work in an incinerator at a waste management facility and is able to wield flames that can reach 7000-8000 degrees.[1]
In the remake Mega Man Powered Up, Fire Man becomes a playable character if he is defeated by Mega Man using only the Mega Buster. He can use his Fire Storm whenever he wants, but if he runs into water, he will lose the ability to launch waves of fire (though he will still be able to summon a fiery sphere around him) until he comes back into contact with lava or fire. Also in the same game, he speaks with a Southern accent, and is obsessed with justice and fire.

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)Edit
Fireman makes an appearance in the intro to the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon, as well as an appearance in the first episode. He had no lines and was taken out near effortlessly by Roll's vaccum. He did not appear in the series again. He strongly resembled his game counterpart, but his armour had a very muscular appearance and his joints were red, and he had flames painted on his flamethrowers.
Captain N: The Game MasterEdit
In Captain N; The Game Master, Fire Man appeared along with the rest of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 1. He looked nothing like his game counterpart aside from flamethrower arms and a flame on his head.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)Edit
In the Archie Comics Mega Man series, Fireman appears along with the other six original Robot Masters in the first issue. In the series, he speaks with a Southern accent, like in Mega Man Powered Up, as he often refers to others as "pardner". It is said in Volume 1, Let the Games Begin!, that "his firey passion for law and order burns fiercely to keep the streets clean-- figuratively and literally", although he is not obsessed with fire and justice, but is rather calm with a sense of duty.
He was introduced as a waste management robot, and was later stolen and reprogrammed by Dr Wily. He was defeated last, and within seconds of Mega Man finding him. Later, in issue 3, Power Get!, he and the other 6 ambush him in Wily's castle, and when Mega Man attempts to talk sense into them not to fight, he stops Elec Man from attacking him and the six end up fighting, so Mega Man moves on to the Copy Robot's room. Soon afterwards, he and the others barge in, destroy the copy robot, and he is re-programmed.
In the second story arc, Time Keeps Slipping, he is assisting with the cleanup of the city after the ordeal, and much later, he helps Mega Man rescue Roll by subduing Oil Man. In the third story arc, The Return of Dr. Wily, he is introduced in issue 11, System Corruption, he is seen with the other eight Robot Masters, Time Man and Oil Man included, and they are asked by Dr. Light to rescue Mega Man, who was reprogrammed. He and Elec Man lead the brigade to storm Dr. Wily's castle, and together they defeat the Mecha Dragon, at the cost of Elec Man being damaged. He, along with Ice Man and Cut Man, lead Elec Man out of the castle and later. The next time he is seen, the group is fleeing Dr. Wily's castle before it self-destructs.

TriviaEdit
- Fire Man's weakness is rare, since he is a fire-type robot weak against an ice weapon; only two other bosses, a fellow Robot Master and a Maverick share this type of weakness. Most other fire-elemental bosses in the Mega Man and X series are otherwise weak to wind or water-elemental weapons.
- Fire Man (along with Bomb Man) is one of the only Robot Masters from the first Mega Man game, who did not appear in any of the arcade titles.
- Originally, Fire Man could melt ice, making players argue that Ice Man should be weak against Fire Man's weapon. Others argue that, after the ice melts, it turns to water, which in turn can put out Fire Man's flames, rendering him vulnerable. This might explain why the Ice Slasher is Fire Man's weakness.
- Fire Man is the only Robot Master from Mega Man to have the same weakness in all of the games he appears in.
- Fire Man is the first Robot Master in the original Mega Man series to not have any hands.
- In Mega Man Megamix however, Fire Man can turn his cannons into hands, like Mega Man (see Gallery above).
