Dr. Light

Doctor Thomas Light is a world-renowned robotics engineer and the creator of Mega Man, Roll , and several Robot Masters.

Dr. Light is a natural pacifist and dreams of a world where humans and robots can co-exist in peace. He graduated from the Robot Institute of Technology alongside Albert Wily, and the two were once partners. However Dr. Wily eventually lost his credentials due to "unethical robotic experimentation," and the two have parted ways. Dr. Wily holds obvious animosity toward his former partner, but Dr. Light tries to stay civil.

While the two were working together, they designed the original six Robot Masters: Cut Man, Guts Man , Fire Man , Bomb Man , Ice Man , and Elec Man.

Before Dr. Light began developing robots to work alongside mankind, he designed several combat robots for the military, a phase in his life that he is not proud of. However, he had to do so in order to gain the funding and notoriety needed to open Light Labs, his research facility and home.

Dr. Light designed twin helper-robots Rock and Roll. He acts as a strong father figure for his robots and treats them as though they were his children. Before he created Rock and Roll, he had also designed another robot that he regards as his first triumph and greatest failure.
