Hard Man is a Robot Master created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, originally created for unknown purposes, but later reprogrammed for fighting by Dr. Wily. He has a hard, durable body made of ceratanium, which makes his body highly resistant to attacks and grants him remarkable defense. However, it also makes him very heavy, with his weight being three tons, and affects his movement speed considerably. He is a fair minded man, but also very lazy. He can detach his fists and use them for combat.
