'''Dark Man 4''' is one of the fortress bosses in ''[[Mega Man 5]]'', originating from the final stage of Proto Man's Castle. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' in version [[1.8.0]].
He was once a robot built for use in a planetarium but was modified by [[Dr. Wily]] for combat and sent to destroy [[Mega Man]. He along with Tengu Man were later rebuilt for use in combat again by the robot King as a part of his robot revolution where they once again came into conflict with Mega Man as well as [[Bass]].


In Mega Man 5, Dark Man 4 has the ability to disguise himself as other figures, which he does to disguise as [[Proto Man]] and kidnap [[Dr. Light]], setting up the events of the game.
==Behavior==
Astro Man has three attack patterns that he can randomly use during battle.


== Behavior ==
1.A spin and dive towards the player in an attempt to collide with them.
2.An attack involving Astro Man's spherical balls: they rotate in an elliptical path and shoot shooting star projectiles. Astro Man is an easy target during this attack as he does not move or attempt to guard himself.
3.The Astro Crush, which consists of a meteor rain made up of flaming afterimages of himself that are indestructible but can be reflected or canceled out by certain weapons. Before using it, he uses his spheres at a lower level and quickly flashes across several sections of the screen in an attempt to confuse the player. Both Astro Man and his spheres are intangible during this attack.


=== Intro ===
Unlike most bosses, Astro Man floats in the air and does not travel on [[Tilesets|terrain]] and other solid [[Level Objects|assets]] such as the [[Conveyor Belt]].
Dark Man 4 has a unique cutscene-esque intro depending on an option in the editor.


* If the option with Proto Man is selected, he will appear as Proto Man and whistle, before Proto Man's normal whistle plays and his disguise is dropped.
==Video Tutorial==
* If the option with [[Mega Man]] and [[Roll]] is selected, things will play out largely the same as the first option, except the disguise will be whatever character is currently being used.

* If the option with Dark Man 4 himself is selected, Dark Man 4 will remain undisguised and taunt the player before fighting.


=== Battle ===
==Trivia==
Dark Man 4 has two attacks.
*In Mega Man 8, Astro Man's Astro Crush attack originally had a safe spot located at the last height where Astro Man appeared. [[Aze]] stated that this safe spot was removed for Mega Man Maker "to make the boss more challenging and fun".
*Because Astro Man is featured as a boss in both Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass, he is one of few Robot Masters that have multiple special weapons usable by the player in the classic Mega Man series. In Mega Man 8, the player obtains the Astro Crush upon defeating Astro Man while in Mega Man & Bass, the player obtains the Copy Vision. As of version 1.8.3, Copy Vision is the only weapon of the two available in Mega Man Maker for use by the player.
*Astro Man is one of the only bosses in Mega Man Maker who can not be confined into a small space and contained during a fight as a result of his ability to teleport.
*Astro Man is notably weaker in Mega Man & Bass compared to how he is in Mega Man 8, having all of his attacks reduced from 6 damage to 2 or 3 with the exception of his contact damage of 4 being unchanged. His total health was also reduced from 40 to 28 to resemble the health of other bosses in Mega Man Maker.


The first has him stand in place and fire three shots at the player. This attack can be used consecutively.

The second has him fire his shields off to both sides and jump at the player. After landing, the shields will return to his side.


== Trivia ==
{{V1.5}}
* Dark Man 4 is the only of the Dark Men from Mega Man 5 to have an intro. However, this intro isn't present in Mega Man Maker.

** Dark Man 4's first intro is a simplified version of the original.
