Napalm Man (ナパームマン, Napāmuman^?) is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to protect his secret weapons factory. Napalm Man is a weapons enthusiast loyal to Wily. He is equipped with explosives called Napalm Bomb in his arms, can shoot missiles straight forward from his head, and can shoot six small homing missiles from his shoulders. He has treads on his feet and can speed up with a rocket on his back. Because he is a walking weapon, even his allies fell uncomfortable near him, so he doesn't have many friends.

In Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Napalm Man uses the Patriot Bomber, a resistant vehicle able to drop bombs. He wants to use the prize money to create a weapons museum, and if the player win using him, he does so but no one visits it. After waiting for a while one guest go to the museum, but says it's boring. Napalm Man got very angry with the comment and accidentally blow up the museum with his weapons.

Napalm Man has a brief cameo appearance in the opening of the Mega Man animated series, but never appeared in an episode.

The Mega Man 5 bosses have short appearances fighting against Mega Man or helping Wily in the three episodes from the OVA Mega Man: Upon a Star.

In the manga Rockman Megamix, Napalm Man appeared in the story "Holiday of Soldiers", where the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 have a part-time job in a amusement park to obtain money for Wily. He works in the box office and calls himself "Napalm Purple" in the job to avoid being recognized as one of Wily's robots.

Napalm Man appeared in the Rockman 5 manga.

In the Chinese manga Rockman Battle & Chase, Napalm Man is one of the racers. He captured Chill Penguin during the race, and Chill Penguin tries to escape by attacking him several times. Angry, Napalm Man throws him off his car, but he's rescued by Mega Man.

[edit] Trivia

• In Rockman Strategy, Napalm Man has 10 missiles on his shoulders instead of six, and doesn't have the rocket on his back.
• Napalm Man's shoulders are similar to Launch Octopus'
• It is said Napalm Man's stage is actually based off of Vietnam. Considering the tiger robots, the jungle setting, and the fact napalm was a flammable liquid used in the Vietnam War, this is most likely true.
• Napalm Man is purple but in his mugshot he is blue.
