Spark Man

Spark Man (スパークマン Supākuman) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 3 created by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to charge equipment that ran on electricity. He is designed to resemble a spark plug, and lacks hands. In place of them are two high-voltage electrodes, capable of producing powerful electric shocks and channeling his Special Weapon, Spark Shock. This enables him to fire sparks of electrical energy in multiple directions, that can quickly immobilize his opponents in their tracks.

Trivia

 * While Spark Man can produce twice the voltage of electricity Elec Man can, Elec Man's Thunder Beam is more powerful than the Spark Shock.
 * Though his original design and artwork concept shows that his face is beige, his sprite sheet in Mega Man 3 and Mega Man III displays his face to be black, bearing a fairly similar resemblance to the Pickelman.
 * Spark Man's fascination for catfishes is a reference to the electric catfish. This is a type of catfish native to tropical Africa and the River Nile, known for their ability to naturally produce electricity of up to 350 volts.
 * In the files for Spark Man's graphics, an unused animation depicting an electrical field is found next to the sprites for his small projectiles. It is theorized that the smaller projectiles were originally intended to stun Mega Man, and the larger one was supposed to deal damage.
