Pharaoh Man


 * For further reading on Pharaoh Man outside of the "Worlds Collide" crossover, check out Mega Man Monthly.

Pharaoh Man is one of the Robot Masters from Earth 20XX who was time-cloned by Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman to serve as part of their army in the Skull Egg Zone.

An Altered Reality
In the altered reality created by the second Genesis Wave, Pharaoh Man had previously confronted Mega Man under the orders of Dr. Wily. Time-cloned by Wily and his new partner, Dr. Eggman, Pharaoh Man was deployed alongside a multitude of other Robot Masters to attack Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and their team of allies. This led to a massive battle outside the Wily Egg in the Skull Egg Zone, during which Pharaoh Man ended up joining in an attack on Blaze the Cat. Despite his powers being combined with those of Burner Man, Heat Man, Flame Man, Solar Man, and Magma Man, Pharaoh Man was overwhelmed as Blaze used her own pyrokinetic abilities to blow away her foes with a fiery tornado. Either surviving this blast or being time-cloned again and redeployed, Pharaoh Man continued to battle the heroes, launching an attack at Vector the Crocodile only to have it be deflected by Silver the Hedgehog. The battle eventually ended as the Super Genesis Wave washed over the field, with Super Mega Man undoing both its effects and those of its predecessor and restoring his reality to normal, Pharaoh Man included.

Abilities
Pharaoh Man demonstrated the ability to shoot fireballs in battle.

Background Information

 * Despite being deployed by Wily, Pharaoh Man was actually created by Dr. Cossack in the Mega Man series, and was reprogrammed to serve as one of Wily's minions. He also appeared in the Mega Man comics prior to the crossover, despite the fact that he debuted in a game not yet adapted into the comic series.

Appearance
Pharaoh Man shares a number of elements with other Robot Masters, including a black outfit with armor over the top-in his case yellow-boots, and cylindrical gauntlets. He also has yellow hands/gloves, and wears a helmet that resembles the burial masks of Egyptian royalty, which includes a face guard that leaves only his eyes and a small area of his face around them exposed.
