Alternate Bosses for Mega Man 10
Philip “Loki” Armstrong provides for us another of his fine retrogaming-flavored comics, this time focusing on what could have been with Mega Man 10. Yes, coming up with Whatever-Man joke robot masters is an old and fairly tired videogame nerd meme, but these are different. These are written and drawn by Loki, and therefore they are rad.

Hope you remembered up bump up the bandwidth. Once this finds its way onto GoNintendo you’re gonna get hammered.
Ooh, thanks for the reminder. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now.
These are fantastic. Midsummer’s Man is my favorite.
I always thought the real joke with Sheep Man was that he was an intentional translation goof; he’s really a fluffy storm cloud, hence the lightning-based attacks.
I’m pretty sure the Philip K. Dick reference theory is correct, given the data and computer metaphor-related nature of his stage.
I would definitely play a Mega Man game with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Man. That would be pretty awesome, actually.
The best part of this comic is reading the weaknesses for each robot.
Some of these are.. really rather good, conceptually. I think the whole literary shtick would work better as an X/Maverick thing, though. Unless Wily decided to take over a robo theme park or something (Mega Man 11?!).
Crying Man’s joke needs more muted trumpet.
Sheep Man’s theme is called “Cybersheep’s Dream”, which pretty much confirms the reference.
Damn. Both of those are bits of info I didn’t have immediate access to, but that’s what I get for expecting anything resembling subtle humor from a Mega Man game.
Stiv, did you see the little muted horn on his hat?
If there were a higher res version of this, it so would be getting printed out and framed on my wall.
I must be getting old and jaded. I didn’t find any of them funny.
What, no Electric Lady Man?
Ok, Electric Lady Man would be pretty funny.
HA HA, “ASS BEAM”. (That actually, sincerely made me laugh out loud.) I guess it’s better than The Donkey Punch.
