Jupiter (ジュピター Jupitā) is one of the second four Stardroids Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V for the Game Boy. He is a Robot Master equipped with a jet engine that allows him to fly. In ancient times he was equipped with a megaton grade bomb, but feeling it was too dangerous for him indoors, he modified it to channel energy for his main weapon, the Electric Shock. His weakness is the Bubble Bomb, which can float up and explode on Jupiter even when he is flying high, though not when he's shooting out lightning.

Jupiter in Rockman Gigamix
In the manga Rockman Gigamix, the Stardroids are powerful space robots that are attacking Earth, destroying several robots in the process, Jupiter defeating Wind Man. Jupiter and Venus later attack Dr. Light's laboratory, fighting against the robots present in the locale. At first they have advantage over Light's robots and Shadow Man, but for Jupiter's surprise, Duo appeared and destroyed Venus without effort[1]. He was eventually destroyed by a repaired and upgraded Mega Man.
Jupiter also appeared in a robot museum in the manga Rockman & Forte.

- Jupiter's quote from the Mega Man & Bass CD data may be referring to Gyro Man.
