RKN-001

Enker was the first robot from the "Mega Man Killer" series built by Dr. Wily, the only purpose of which is to destroy Mega Man. In Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, he appears after the second set of Robot Masters is defeated. His Mirror Buster allows him to absorb shots into his spear (called the Barrierd Spear) and fire them back at Mega Man as energy blasts. Enker appears again in Mega Man V and Mega Man 10. Enker also appeared as a card in RockBoard and as a playable character in Mega Man's Soccer, being the penultimate boss of the Capcom Championship mode. He appears as one of the bosses from the downloadable Special Stages in Mega Man 10, alongside Punk and Ballade.

This is an interesting boss, from what I've seen in Megaman 10.

Of course, you need something to seperate the Game Boy Versions and the Nintendo Versions.

Hey, sorry to notice this series so late. I enjoyed reading through them. There are waaay more Mega Man games than I thought.

The numbering in the titles is totally screwed up with the Roman numerals. Mega Man V≈Mega Man 5 but Mega Man X≠Mega Man 10 because "Mega Man 'Ex'" is a completely different series from "Mega Man 'Ten'"? And even then, the Roman numeral games are slightly different from the Nintendo and PlayStation games?

These games make figuring out the Final Fantasy titles look like addition and subtraction!

If you still want requests, Quick Man and Crash Man are my favorites. Mega Man 2 all the way

All right, then.

I wouldn't mind getting MM2 out of the way.
