Having received a massive dose of Energy X, the strange energy literally flows through Man-Bot’s veins, always building in intensity. If the intensity grows too great it causes an explosive energy release. Man-Bot wears a suit of armor that siphons off and expels his excess energy, but he still hopes to find a cure for his condition.

Analysis:
Man-Bot is a powerful walking nuclear reactor. He is one of the most effective brawlers in the game, especially as he can convert energy attacks into Energy X, and is resistant to stun. He is very slow, however, so until he obtains Flight it will take him a while to reach combat. His ranged attacks, such as Focus, are damaging, but also slow. Transfer becomes espeically useful, as Man-Bot can give Energy X to heroes that tend to burn through theirs rapidly, such as El Diablo and Microwave. His Unstable Energy is both a blessing and a curse…it is useful in large groups of enemies, as Man-Bot becomes a living bomb. However, in narrow spaces where the isn’t enough clearance to keep the rest of your team a safe distance away, the unexpected blast can be lethal. Man-Bot can unleash it on command once he learns Release, which makes him a devastating melee combatant.
