Freeze Man

Freeze Man (フリーズマン) is an ice themed Robot Master from Mega Man 7. He was originally built as a prototype robot for non-polluting energy before being modified for combat by Dr. Wily. Based on the theory that high and low temperatures combined are equal to normal temperature, Freeze Man can split the normal temperature in the ambient into high and low temperatures, using the former as energy source and the latter to attack with his Freeze Cracker, a snowflake-like projectile. Freeze Man is a perfectionist and likes to make cool poses. He has great respect for Ice Man.

Strategy
First, Freeze Man will attack with his Freeze Cracker. Next he jumps up and sends a Freeze Cracker to freeze the ground and you if you are standing on it. Finally he will use his Freeze Cracker to summon icicles, and repeats the pattern.

Trivia

 * When the player faces him again in Dr. Wily's Castle and hits him with Freeze Cracker (his own weapon), the whole game will freeze up and he'll look at the player as if to mock them. After a slight amount of his health is restored and the game will resume. This may render Freeze Man as one of the few Robot Masters that is not weak against his own weapon. This also means that he is the only Robot Master to break the fourth wall.
 * He strikes a pose, which makes him seem to look at the player.
 * When Mega Man enters the room where Freeze Man will be fought, if the player does not press any buttons when the fight begins, he will taunt Mega Man and strike a pose towards the screen. A similar thing occurs with Skull Man in Mega Man 4.
