Back to Wily's antics and creations, kicking off Mega Man 5 with Gravity Man. He's tied with Star Man as my favorite MM5 Robot Master. Gravity has a lot of potential, but the only thing he used it for in-game was to swap you from floor to ceiling and back to keep you off balance. I blame the system, really. He was just ahead of his time.

At least his stage was fun. I'm a sucker for platforming stages that change the definition of "down" on you.

Gravity Man's a bit weird to draw. His torso is especially tricky... deceptively so. That made posing him more of a challenge than usual. And don't get me started on his boots. Come to think of it, we don't see anything else like them until Battle Network, unless I'm mistaken... definitely ahead of his time.
