Block Man

Block Man (ブロックマン Burokkuman) is a Robot Master that first appeared in Mega Man 11. He's one of the main characters of The Gear Heroes: Friendship is Powerful and Butterflette's love interest. He is a small, stout robot created to work on exterior constructions, being able to create blocks one after another. His regular appearance resembles a stone castle. He uses his Special Weapon, Block Dropper, to form blocks out of thin air above his opponents to try and crush them. He also can transform into a gigantic robot, Block Golem, increasing his physical strength.

Block Man represents the Element of Trust.

Appearance
Block Man is a rotund, turquoise robot with gold and white accents and dull, grey bricks covering his body. The lower half of his body juts out a bit, perhaps serving as a storage compartment for extra building materials.

Personality
Block Man is ever full of energy, although he has a short temper and gets easily angry. He is vain, headstrong, thick as a brick, and has "an ego the size of a pyramid". He secretly dreams of building a vast structure that recreates the bygone age of pyramids and temples. He often works with his cousin and best friend Impact Man, and the two are sometimes seen at an oil bar to share a drink. Block Man will not take kindly to strangers mocking him in any harsh manner, especially those who laugh at him or judge him by his size. He always have his fellow employee robots keep up with major construction projects. However, his temper tends to flare up if any of them is slacking off and not working hard enough. Besides, he is very bossy with others (even with the Gear Heroes) and will not take "no" for an answer. He also becomes defensive if he feels that his friends are being insulted in any way, since he feels they deserve love, respect and kindness.

Despite his violent tendencies, Block Man has a big heart of gold and always gives a hand to people. Nothing scares him, not even Marysalis Shimmer or the presence of creepy spiritual beings (ghosts, devils, etc.). In fact, his only fear is to lose his loved ones. He has a deep crush on Butterflette and is very protective of her. Block Man especially gets angry if people insulting or trying to hurt her, and he'll gladly beat the crap of them with his giant form, Block Golem.

Block Man has also proven himself as a cat lover ever since he adopted a cat named Schrodinger that Butterflette gave him as a gift for saving her from Marysalis Shimmer.

Special Weapons

 * Block Dropper: Thanks to a block generator in his stomach, Block Man can create an infinite amount of blocks for whatever job he feels is necessary and uses them to attack his enemies.
 * Block Golem: Block Man uses his Power Gear to absorb all the bricks around him to turn himself into a giant golem to attack his enemies and trying to kick their butts.

Geokinesis
Block Man has the elemental ability to manipulate and control earth, sand, rocks and some related materials such as paper, silt, minerals, crystals, etc., without reaching the roots of plants. Regardless, he can move the earth anywhere he wants to form giant blocks, projectiles, create stone shields, dust barriers, sandstorms, hit the ground hard to cause earthquakes and tidal waves, even summon a meteor shower from space, etc. He can even dive into the ground so he can travel underground tunnels and try to take his opponents by surprise. He can also have fine enough control to create complex builds.

Weaknesses

 * Chain Blast - Since Block Man's body is made primarily of stone, the explosions from Blast Man's weapon can be especially damaging to him.
