'''Insanity''' is a recurring theme is the ''[[Mega Man (franchise)|Mega Man]]'' franchise. Many characters in the series exhibit symptoms of mania or outright insanity, often seeking to cause great harm or destruction to others or the world in the name of their cause. Though these causes are often meant to do good for either [[Human|humanity]] or [[Reploid]]s, the amount of damage it will inflict heavily outweighs the positive changes, and must be stopped.
