HeatMan has a yellow-gray body, an gray head, a fiery eyes, orange mouth, red-gray part on each side of his body with his slim arms connected to each of them, gray hands with four gray cylindrical metallic fingers on each of them (each of his fingers has a hole), and gray bracer on each of his arms.
HeatMan's Navi mark has gray surrounding and is identical to the one of FireMan's. The Navi marks are location on the front of his body and on side of his head.
History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 2[]
HeatMan is an optional boss found with Mr. Match in the airport, instead of his original Navi, FireMan. However, since they haven't been together long, their teamwork isn't so great. Regardless, HeatMan packs greater firepower than FireMan[2].
Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar[]
HeatMan is MegaMan's first Link Navi and Cross. He appears with Mr. Match who has turned over a new leaf as a teacher. HeatMan is operated by Lan as a Cross Navi. They put out CyberKettles in the Net by using the power of fire. After the challenge is completed, his Cross can be gained by defeating him in a NetBattle.

Abilities[]
Mega Man Battle Network 2[]
- Flame Tower (フレイムタワー Fureimu Tawā):
HeatMan summons a Flame Tower that moves forward, going up and down depending on the player's position.
- Heat Stamp (ヒートスタンプ Hīto Sutanpu):
HeatMan will drop at the player's current position, leaving behind a Lava Panel.
- Ground Burner (グランドバーナー Gurando Bānā):
When HeatMan has less than half of its HP MAX he can use this attack, HeatMan retracts into his case and raises flame pillars (3 in V2, 4 in V2, and 5 in V3) from flashing panels on MegaMan's side of the field in three rounds in row.
Mega Man Battle Network 6[]
- Air Shoes (エアシューズ Ea Shūzu) and Float Shoes (フロートシューズ Furōto Shūzu):
HeatMan can't be affected by special panels. This somewhat carries over as a Link Navi, as when played, he can't crack panels, but can move over holes and isn't affected by panels.
- Heat Wave (ヒートウェーブ Hīto Wēbu):
HeatMan summons waves that proceed down all three rows simultaneously. There is a short moment between the waves which the player can use to move between them. Later versions make the wave come back and forth the field after it reaches the end of the field. They can be dodged by cracking panels.
- Heat Burn (ヒートバーン Hīto Bān):
HeatMan summons a flamethrower that will follow the player from behind, attacking the three panels ahead of it if it aligns with the player.
- Heat Press (ヒートプレス Hīto Puresu):
HeatMan will drop at the player's current position, leaving behind a cracked panel and creating fires that spread in a + pattern around the targeted panel. This is his Special Chip.

Trivia[]
- HeatMan's mark has the same design as those of FireMan and FlameMan, with the only exception being the background color of the emblem (HeatMan's is red, whereas FireMan's and FlameMan's are orange and black, respectively). This is most likely due to the fact that all three Navis were owned and operated by Mr. Match, who can be seen wearing a similar mark in the first game.
- HeatMan is unique among Mr. Match's NetNavis because in both games that he's featured in, he does not play a villainous role, being an optional, neutral-aligned opponent in Mega Man Battle Network 2 and a Link Navi in Battle Network 6.
- Unlike his classic counterpart, HeatMan has pupil-less eyes and is able to fly.
- In both Mega Man Battle Network 2 and MegaMan NT Warrior, the initial concept of how HeatMan became Mr. Match's second NetNavi via FireMan (either by extensive customization in Battle Network 2 or merging FireMan's remaining data with his own in NT Warrior) could be seen as a homage to the classic Mega Man series, in which the original Heat Man is based off of Fire Man's own design.
- It should be noted that FireMan reappears in Mega Man Battle Network 4 after the introduction of HeatMan, suggesting that HeatMan is a form FireMan can switch back and forth from rather than a permanent transformation.
