Novas Aventuras de Mega Man/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Dr. Wily and Mr. Holzenbein, in almost equal parts. Nothing good can come of the Project Lazarus masterminds, after all.
  • Everybody Remembers the Stripper: See Never Live It Down.
  • Fetish Retardant: Roll is rendered almost completely naked in issue #12. This is made scary by the circumstances in which it happened, and that she's missing half her face due to a buster shot.
  • Fridge Horror: In #3, X tries to argue that there's nothing wrong with historical revisionism (specifically, that his idealized view of São Paulo is better than the truth). He'd have good reason to not want to face the past...
  • Nightmare Fuel: Issue 4. The fact that homeless children are being kidnapped, cyborg-ized, and made to work in the off-world colonies and as sexual servants in the “Suspended Cities” is bad enough; it’s here that we learn that Roll was once a human girl, and was among the many, many victims of Project Lazarus. At one point, the guards enter the room, and one stops to talk with Roll. He “promises” to bring her someplace better, where people won’t slap her just for playing with their children. The scene immediately cuts to her decapitated and mangled corpse.
    • The cover of #12. Hey, remember that (other) scene from 300?.
    • The splash page in issue #12 featuring the good guys tied up, in pain, and (mostly) naked.
  • In Name Only: At a certain point, the comic focuses so much on Roll that calling it "The New Adventures of Mega Man" isn't all that accurate. Could arguably also qualify as an Artifact Title or Decoy Protagonist depending on the authors' plans.
  • Moment of Awesome: Of all people, Wily gets one in the penultimate and final issues where he and his armies defeat pretty much everyone. Only an Unstoppable Rage from Rock saves the day.
  • Never Live It Down: Okay, so there was rampant nakedness. However, that only started with issue 12 of 16. The comic is now mostly known for this.
  • Paranoia Fuel: Apparently, Proto and Wily both spent the last thirty years planting surveillance cameras everywhere.
  • Possession Sue: Roll. While her upgrade from “supporting character” to “one of the mains” would be fine, they didn’t stop there. She’s the most powerful and important character in the comic, overshadowing even Megaman, and it’s strongly implied that she’s the only robot in existence with a soul ( possibly justified by once being human). Almost everyone of any nominal importance needs or wants her for one purpose or another, and that includes the Greys; after a while, the comic more or less abandons any pretense of its story being about Megaman.
  • So Bad It's Good: If you don't think it's horrible.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: Robotic violence, swearing, nukes, and Brain Uploading, and those are only the first four issues! Later issues have graphic violence and rampant nakedness.
