Dark Man 4

Dark Man 4 is the leader of the Dark Men, who impersonated Proto Man and kidnapped Dr. Light in Mega Man 5. Much like his fight in the game, Dark Man 4 has two main tools; his buster and shield. While lackluster to many for his very basic kit, his ability to switch between defense and offense very quickly can make him a powerful tool if used properly.
