Dr. Wright, and his assistant Dr. Wily, encouraged with their very first near human robot -- MEGA MAN -- proceeded to develop six additional Humanoids, all programmed to perform prescribed rituals:          Cutman: Designed to          function as a lumberjack.

Assistant Dr. Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr. Wright's Humanoids, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr. Wily could control the world and its resources.Resisting re-programming, MEGA MAN is chosen the defender of theuniverse and its inhabitants.
