- "Oh."
- ―Mega Man upon discovering Him's true form, Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered
Him is a boss originating from the fangame Mega Man ARM 2. He is a bizarre robot with a Doc Robot's head and a Lyric for a body, used by Dr. Wily as a fortress guardian. Him appears as a tier boss in Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered, where he replaces Jolt Man from the original game.

Game Appearances[edit]
Mega Man ARM 2[edit]
Him is the boss of the third Wily stage, and is fought on small platforms over a bottomless pit. His strategy is to slowly fly up and down either side of the arena, firing two kinds of projectiles at Mega Man; red ones that fly towards him, and green ones that actively home in on him before vanishing. His weakness is Volt Man (not that one)'s Special Weapon, the Volt Surge. Curiously, Him takes 0.2 damage from the Mega Buster, and 1.5 damage from his weakness.
Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered[edit]
Him appears in Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered as the boss of Tier 1, the Sewers. Mega Man encounters a dormant Him disguised as a normal Lyric, but is forced to battle him once he awakens.
Him starts the battle by flying up and down while moving from one side of the arena to the other. While doing this, he attacks in a consistent pattern that repeats itself:
- Fires four green sparks that travel in all four cardinal directions.
- Fires four green sparks that travel in all four diagonal directions.
- Fires up to three red sparks that are aimed at Mega Man.
When his health reaches 18 points or lower, Him moves to the center of the screen and starts flying left to right and back again in a small sine wave pattern. His only attack in this phase is summoning up to three skulls that orbit his head, then launch themselves directly at Mega Man.
Once Him has 8 points of health or less, he resorts to flying in Mega Man's direction, stopping only when he slams into the ground or a wall. Once this happens, two rocks will drop on either side of Mega Man in an attempt to land on him if he moves.

Mega Man | A Lyric? Why is it just...sitting there? |
(The Lyric slowly rises upwards, glowing and sparkling. The screen flashes, and Him is fully formed.) | |
Mega Man | Oh. |

Trivia[edit]
- As a replacement for Jolt Man, Him is the only tier boss in Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered who wasn't present in the original game.
- To date, Him is the only MaGMML tier boss to be completely silent in their pre-battle cutscene. Whether or nor this indicates Him is little more than a mindless machine is unknown.
- The particle effects Him's sparks use (a carry-over from his original Mega Man ARM 2 battle) are default Game Maker particles.
- Him is noticeably larger in Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered than he is in Mega Man ARM 2, where he is barely as tall as Mega Man.
- In the original reveal trailer for Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered, Him's boss room had a different layout, with the entrance located at the top. In the final game, this door was moved to the left (and given unique tiles), while the platforms were redrawn to fit the rest of the tileset. Him himself also had a slightly different design, with his body's propellers being more visible than they are in the final game.
