Pharaoh Man

Pharaoh Man (ファラオマン Faraoman) is a Robot Master designed as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh that resembles Tutankhamun. He is the main protagonist of "The Gear Powers" and official leader of the group, while Fuse Man is the co-leader. Pharaoh is the only Cossack Number (other than Tundra Man) that survived for a decade before Mega Man X was born and after Sigma died. Because of that, he currently lives at Castle Double Gear with his friends the Gear Powers. He was created by Dr. Cossack with high resistance, agility, and adaptability to the dark to explore pyramids and other ancient ruins. His Special Weapons are Pharaoh Shot and Pharaoh Wave, but also has a lot of fire powers.

Pharaoh Man represents the Element of Magic.

Appearance
Pharaoh Man's appearance is based on a real-life Egyptian pharaoh. He has black and yellow stripes on his crown, a yellow chest, legs, and arms. His arms, legs, and lower torso are black. His shoulder pads are a very pale yellow, almost peach.

Personality
Pharaoh Man is a defender and adventurer with a fighting spirit and charismatic personality, though he sometimes flares up and explodes in fury when he loses patience or when his friends disagree with his convictions. However, generally very serious, oriented and dedicated, he has the heart of a true, strong leader of protection and voice of the group's reason. He likes to give orders and advice to others to support them. His strength, wisdom, determination, creativity and honesty amazes everyone. Also, he values ​​keeping his promises no matter what and hates disappointing his loved ones. He's totally optimistic and tries not to stop something from discouraging him, but he rarely loses his faith and hope when the situation worsens, as in the episode Elements of Double Gear, Part 2. Along with Fuse Man, Pharaoh is the most mature and calm of the team, with a great capacity for concern for robots and human beings alike. Despite his great fire powers and combat abilities, he never boasts of them like Blast Man and Tundra Man do. Due to his charisma, Pharaoh Man is very insightful of what he is, being able to change the way of being and thinking of the people he meets even with those who have the hardest heart, whatever the cost. This makes him a person who gets along well with everyone and always gives them a hand.

Abilities

Weaknesses

 * Pharaoh Man's eyes are highly sensitive and a strong enough flash of light can fry his optic sensors and even damage his brain core.
 * Sometimes, he despairs when the situation worsens and wants to fix quickly, but he ends up losing hope and faith in both himself and others, as in the episode "Elements of Double Gear, Part 2".
 * He tends to get so angry that he sometimes forgets to fix problems with calm and patience.

Relationships

 * Fuse Man: After Pharaoh Man arrived in Japan and when the Gear Powers were curious to find out who entered Castle Double Gear, Fuse Man was the first to take over investigating it and, entering the attic on his own and for his brothers' well-being, he finds Pharaoh Man lying on the ground and was confident enough to dare to speak to him, and then Pharaoh becomes a good friends with him and other Gear Powers. The two are super close and have a strong and inseparable brotherly relationship. Pharaoh Man often encourages Fuse Man and tries to help him overcome his deep shyness, especially in the role of the co-leader of the group. Even if he doesn't express it openly, Fuse Man always shows a greater concern for Pharaoh Man than the other Gear Powers, keeping the promise of taking care of each other.
 * Block Man: They both get along very well and have mutual respect for each other, even if Pharaoh Man doesn't tolerate Block Man's tantrums and temper, but usually calms him down with patience. Being very obedient, kind and respectful to him, Block Man admires him for his wisdom and great sense of leadership and will do anything to help him during his missions/adventures.
 * Blast Man: Blast Man is extremely loyal to Pharaoh Man and always gives him a hand to support him on his missions/adventures. However, along with Acid Man, Blast Man sometimes teases him by calling him a "dolphin's brainy head" or by reading books, without fear of showing jealousy and envy towards him. At the same time, Pharaoh Man is annoyed when Blast Man acts without thinking or when his dangerous and volatile character gets out of control, as in the episode Birds. But still, the two are very good friends and work together to defend the world from evil.
 * Acid Man: They both share certain characteristics when it comes to their intelligence and love of books, only the difference is that Acid Man uses them for chemistry and Pharaoh Man for archeology. Although perhaps Acid is jealous of him for his wisdom and knowledge of science and the use of magical items like the Double Gear Scepter, the two have mutual respect for each other and like to work on experiments together.
 * Tundra Man: The two are brothers since they are created by Dr. Cossack and have an excellent brotherly relationship. While Pharaoh Man is not very fond of fashion, he would never deny wearing Tundra Man's fancy outfits for some special occasions. Pharaoh Man often tries to prove to him that friendship and family are more important than fashion and elegance, especially if Tundra lets his fame go to his head. Pharaoh Man is the one who often stops the fight between him and Torch Man.
 * Torch Man: They are super close, since they are both Fire Robot Masters and share some abilities related to that element. In several episodes they are seen meditating on top of a tree. The two often go camping in their spare time. One fact that surprised Pharaoh Man about Torch Man is that he doesn't follow the stereotypes of a typical Fire Robot Master since he lacks characteristics such as bad temper and wild temperament. Pharaoh Man is the one who often stops the fight between him and Tundra Man.
 * Impact Man: They get along very well, even though they spend the least amount of time together at times. Like Fuse Man, Impact Man cares a lot for Pharaoh Man's well-being, also promising to take care of each other. The Impact Brothers enjoy his company and often help him on dangerous missions.
 * Bounce Man: Pharaoh Man is one of the few characters that has a high tolerance towards Bounce Man and never finds him heavy like Block Man, Acid Man or some villains do. He got used to his antics, hyperactivity and way of being. Pharaoh Man sometimes goes to Boing-Boing Park to practice sports and/or gymnastic movements with Bounce Man.
 * Butterflette: The pair have a father-daughter bond. Pharaoh Man often encourages Butterflette, and helps her through some of her fears. Butterflette looks up to him and turns to him for advice and comfort, because of her being a big fan of his.
 * Marysalis Shimmer: Queen and Doctor Marysalis Shimmer is Pharaoh Man's biggest enemy, and both have had a strong rivalry/enmity since they first met each other before the Maverick Wars.

Other facts and trivia

 * Pharaoh Man is the only character to appear in every episode and, along with the other Gear Powers, in every movie in the series.
 * He is the character who has sung the most songs in the entire series.
 * In some special episodes, he introduces himself to viewers before reading and narrating his favorite stories, such as "The Brave Little Astro" (comic version of "The Brave Little Tailor").
