While wood traditionally isn't the best material to make a robot out of, Woodman is the strongest character of Mega Man 2 and perhaps the whole series for that matter. Massive on defense and equipped with one of the more useful items Mega Man can use throughout the series, Woodman would be remembered as one of the greatest boss's in video game history. Before battle he would pound his chest to signify his truculent ferocity and make the player fear his body of pure wood that was more difficult to penetrate than a 200 ft redwood. With a little help from a smaller jump, he could actually jump pretty high for a character tough on defense and strength, rather than mostly on agility. His weapon was a circle of leaves that would circle around him as a force field and then drop from the ceilings leaving Mega Man very little room to maneuver in this ferocious battle. Expurgating Woodman's strength after the battle was a great procurement as Mega Man could also use the wood shield to elude all enemies coming his way. This was especially helpful in a Wily castle stage as Mega Man had to ride a conveyor with a multitude of spikes below him. Coming at him from all angles were birds dropping eggs on him that could knock him off into certain peril on the spikes. With the wood (leaf) shield though, no one was able to touch him. Many types of force field weapons would be attained throughout the Mega Man series (Skullman's weapon E.G.), but it all started first at Woodman. Having one of the best weapons in the series and the most pugnacious of pre-battle attitudes puts him at our #2.
