Quick Man is a combat Robot Master created by Dr. Wily using Elec Man's design as a base. Quick Man is made of lightweight materials, allowing him move at very high speed. Though his top running speed is unknown, his cruising velocity is Mach 5 (3691 mph), which makes Quick Man one of the fastest Robot Masters in the Mega Man series. His weapon is the Quick Boomerang, small boomerang cutters that he can shoot from his right arm. Because of a defect, Quick Man is vulnerable to Flash Man's Time Stopper. Quick Man and Turbo Man are also rivals. His level in Mega Man 2 contains a number of deadly lasers.

Fun Facts
-Shadow Devil's stage in Mega Man X5 is reminiscent of Quick Man's stage, with many lethal lasers, and a time stopping weapon, Dark Hold, to pass by them easier.
-Quick Man's stage, with enhanced graphics, is used as Dr. Wily's fortress stage in Mega Man (Game Gear), although Quick Man does not appear as the stage's boss (or in the game, for that matter).
-Quick Man was planned to appear in Wily and Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise, but was removed before the game's release.
-It is possible that Quick Man's design was influenced by Shinzo Ningen Casshern, an anime created by Tatsunoko Productions.
-Quick Man is one of the bosses of the Mega Man franchise that can not be fully killed by the weapon he is weak against. This weapon, the Time Stopper, even at full power will only drain half of his life bar. Magma Man is another example.
-In Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, Quick Man is mentioned by Roll by her win quote to Viewtiful Joe: "Wow, I've never seen a Quick Man cosplay before!"

I don't remember who requested it, so speak your name if you are thee.
