Fire Storm (ファイヤーストーム Faiyā Sutōmu) is Fire Man's Special Weapon. Fire Storm burns at 7000 to 8000 degrees Celsius to be capable of burning through just about anything. Good at both attack and defense, it shoots a fireball forward and causes a small flaming orb to circle the user, providing a brief shield effect. Both the fireball and orb can cause damage.
Appearances[]
Mega Man[]
Mega Man obtains Fire Storm from Fire Man after his defeat. Bomb Man, Copy Robot, and Wily Machine 1 are weak to it.
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge[]
Fire Storm acts like its first appearance, and is Cut Man's weakness. Fire Storm can also be used effectively against Quick Man, as when he gets close to the player, the fiery orbs can deal damage to him. Bubble Man, Heat Man, Enker, and the second form of the Wily Machine I are immune to it.
Mega Man: The Wily Wars[]
Fire Storm is one of the weapons available in the Wily Tower mode. It is more effective against Hyper Storm H and the second form of the "Wily Machine". Fire Snakey is immune to it.
Mega Man: Powered Up[]
In the New Style mode Fire Storm is the weakness from Oil Man and Yellow Devil. It can also be used to destroy specific Break Containers.

Mega Man getting Fire Storm in the cartoon's opening.
Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)[]
While it was not obtained by Mega Man in Fire Man's only appearance, in the series opening Mega Man is seen obtaining and using Fire Man's power against Ice Man to simultaneously set him on fire, blow him away, and defrost a frozen area of the city.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)[]
In the Mega Man Archie Comics serial, Fire Storm was used by Fire Man and copied by Mega Man. In one of the Short Circuits, Mega Man briefly imagined Roll using Fire Storm to clean up a basement when she was forgiving Mega Man for his earlier actions (when he lost control due to his weapons) in Issue #3.

Trivia[]
- Mega Man is seen using the Fire Storm against Ice Man in the commercial for Rockman on Famicom and in the intro to the cartoon. However, Ice Man's weapon, Ice Slasher, is actually Fire Man's weakness, contradicting his weakness in the game itself.
- Plus, Ice Man does not like Fire Storm despite that not being his weakness (though the weapon he possesses is Fire Man's weakness).
- In Mega Man Megamix, in Napalm Man's profile, it states that the scattering explosion produced by Napalm Bomb is called a "Fire Storm."
- Fire Storm can be considered the series's first shield weapon.
