Gravity Man is a combat robot who was created for Dr. Wily's fifth attempt at world domination. His Gravity Hold was developed based on the theory that gravitational fields are spatial distortions. Gravity Man is able to choose any one point in his surroundings as a gravitational focal point, and cause a gravitational field to be produced around that point. To create a useful focal point, Gravity Man needs something with mass and usually selects a wall or ceiling for this purpose. When Mega Man uses the Gravity Hold as a special weapon, he creates the focal point within the body of his enemy. |

Gravity Man (グラビティーマン Gurabitīman) is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily. He has the ability to control gravity with the unit installed in his body. In Mega Man 5, he occupied an anti-gravity research institute and used it against Mega Man.[1] His only offensive weapon against enemies is a buster, but he can use Gravity Hold in a short range to freely manipulate his opponents' gravity and his own gravity and then fall like a heavy weight into them.
Although Gravity Man is a devoted and enthusiastic researcher when it comes to the subject of gravity itself, his unsocial attitude makes him prefer to work alone without any help or assistance. He has a strong interest in physics and dislikes outer space since there is little gravity found in space.
Video game appearances
Mega Man 5
Gravity Man is one of the eight bosses. He constantly shifts gravity up and down, running back and forth. He may also jump, sometimes shooting bullets from his own buster while jumping. When he changes gravity, it is Mega Man's opportunity to shoot him. His weakness is the Star Crash, and it can also negate his shots. But using it as a shield to negate his shots instead of throwing it costs more energy, so anytime the opportunity arises, the player should quickly throw the shield at Gravity Man and he will take heavy damage. It defeats him in seven hits.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Gravity Man appears in Adventure Mode: World of Light as a Master Spirit who runs a Dojo in the Dark Realm. His Gravity Style majorly increases jump height, but majorly decreases move speed and fall speed. A remix of his theme is available as a music track for the Wily Castle stage.

Other media
Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)
Gravity Man in the Mega Man cartoon.
Gravity Man appeared in the episode "Master of Disaster" from Ruby-Spears' Mega Man animated series voiced by Jim Byrnes. His Gravity Hold is a replaced by a "gravity beam", which he uses to cause the ceiling of a cave and several stalactites to fall.
Mega Man: Upon a Star
The Mega Man 5 bosses have short appearances fighting against Mega Man or helping Wily in the three episodes from the OVA.
Mega Man Megamix
Gravity Man is a combat robot who was created for Dr. Wily's fifth attempt at world domination. His Gravity Hold was developed based on the theory that gravitational fields are spatial distortions. Gravity Man is able to choose any one point in his surroundings as a gravitational focal point, and cause a gravitational field to be produced around that point. To create a useful focal point, Gravity Man needs something with mass and usually selects a wall or ceiling for this purpose. When Mega Man uses the Gravity Hold as a special weapon, he creates the focal point within the body of his enemy.
Gravity Man first appeared in the story "Holiday of Soldiers", where the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 have part-time jobs in an amusement park to earn money for Dr. Wily. Gravity Man works by distributing balloons.
In the Mega Man Gigamix story Moon of Darkness, the Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 are attacked by the Stardroids, and Gravity Man is defeated by Mercury.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
Gravity Man, like many of the Robot Masters, appears in the Archie Comics series before the adaptation of his game during the Worlds Collide crossover event with the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic. He appears as part of a Robot Master army assembled by Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman to battle Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and their allies.
Other appearances
Gravity Man also appeared in the Rockman 5 manga and in Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin.

Trivia
- On the cover of Mega Man 5 he has spikes on the bottom of his feet. In the Mega Man cartoon series he has yellow "G"s on the bottom of his feet.
- Gravity Man's quote in his Mega Man & Bass CD data, "Yet the earth does move", is derived from Galileo Galilei's phrase "And yet it moves".
- Gravity Man is the only Robot Master from Mega Man 5 that didn't reappear as a boss in any other Mega Man game.
- He is the only Robot Master to appear on the box art for the North American version of Mega Man 5.
- Gravity Man is the only Robot Master to have a triangle-shaped outfit.
- How he is weak to the Star Crash may play into his workings of gravitational phenomena; while it is believed and proven that gravity is the result of spatial distortion, the other half which allows this to happen is that a great accumulation of mass must be present to allow itself a gravitational pull, and such masses evidenced are those of celestial objects like planets and suns.
