Ask Dr. Science

The Experts Respond:

> Dr. Light
	You know how Mega Man (or as we call him, Rock), has a sister, Roll?

> Roll Caskett

At least in the first Megaman series. In Legends, I was upgraded to best friend/love interest to play against Tron's bad girl/seductress persona.

> Dr. Light

That's neither here nor there, though. As I was saying, Rock wasn't the first robot I made.

> Protoman (aka Break)

Actually, I was.

> Dr. Light

Yes, yes. Between Break and Rock, however, I tinkered with various emotions, and accidentally made a robot whose personality was so rooted in academia that his sole goal became the collection of various and sundry trivia and minutae. And that robot, whom I had named Funk, became Lab Man.

> Lab Man

The capybara is the world's largest rodent.

> Mega Man

And this is why he wasn't in any of the games.

> KillMaimFragKitty
	Ok, I'll bite. What's the story with "Lab Man"?
