"Claw me, and I'll claw thee."

—Slash Man, Mega Man & Bass database

Slash Man (スラッシュマン, Surasshuman) is a Robot Master who was created by Dr. Wily in Mega Man 7 to clear forests for the construction of his secret bases. His design was based on Pluto from Mega Man V, and as such, it is likely that Slash Man boasts similar movement speed and agility. Slash Man's Special Weapon, the Slash Claw, is a portable version of a wave-like cutting device used to destroy asteroids, released in the form of a pair of razor-sharp claws on his forearms. He can also bind enemies with a red adhesive substance, holding them in place as he prepares to attack, which when combined with his speed and attacking power, make him a deadly opponent at close range. Slash Man is vulnerable to drastic changes in temperature, tending to hibernate in cold winters and dehydrate in hot environments, hence his weaknesses being Freeze Man's Freeze Cracker and Turbo Man's Scorch Wheel.

Personality

Although he's quick at work and has a wild personality, Slash Man is sticky-fingered, always being tempted to steal things. Slash Man is also in charge of an army of dinosaur robots, but due to his mobility and his wild temperament, his comrades have trouble keeping up with him. Slash Man enjoys eating jungle fruits and vegetables in his spare time. He has a dislike for nail clippers.

Video game appearances

Mega Man 7

Slash Man is one of the second four bosses in Mega Man 7. When Mega Man enters Slash Man's room, he will jump about. This may seem harmless, but when he gets close to Mega Man, he will attack with the Slash Claw. Secondly, he will wall jump to the ceiling, and balls will fall. These balls will shatter into a red liquid that renders the player immobile. Additionally, if the liquid lands on Mega Man, he cannot jump, attack or slide. Slash Man will drop down, and lunge downward to Mega Man's location. He is weak to Freeze Cracker and Scorch Wheel.

Mega Man: The Power Battle

Slash Man is one of the six bosses from the Mega Man 7 course. His weakness is intended to be Freeze Cracker, but Junk Shield is more effective.

Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters

"This robot moves quickly. You better beat him as fast as possible! He does not have any projectile move. Shoot him at a distance!"

―Dr. Light, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters

Slash Man is one of the six bosses from the Rescue Roll! course. His weakness is Dive Missile.

• Power Battle: もとはひみつきちけんせつようのばっさいロボットで、きょうりゅうロボットぐんだんのじんとうしきようにかいぞうされる。しかし、そのきどうりょくのたかさから、たんどくこうどうがおおい。とくしゅぶきは、スラッシュクローじゃ。

He joined a group of high speed Robot Masters-including Metal Man, Nitro Man, Turbo Man, and Charge Man-in pursuing Sonic the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, the whole group found themselves in a pileup after Sonic tripped Quick Man, who had sped ahead of the rest of them to attack the speedster.
