Serial numbered as DWN-017 Needle Man is a robot master built by both Dr. Light & Dr. Wily. His original purpose was to work in energy mines, specializing in land development & breaking through boulders & bedrock. With aspects of Metal Man's combat programming he uses his special weapon, the rapid-firing needle cannon which can pepper his foes with a barrage of needles that is sharp enough to pierce 10 inch-thick stones.

Despite his large "Air Man-type" build, he is agile & good at jumping thanks to using an upgraded version of Metal Man's combat programming—even being able to remain stationary in the air to attack for brief moments of time by raining shots on his opponents from above. To accompany his ranged attacking capabilities, the thick spikes on his head are needle-sharp, & mounted on a heavy base attached to his head with an extendable chain. This impromptu weapon can be fired over short distances with huge power, making him very dangerous to try & fight up close.

Needle Man is intelligent & generally liked for his fighting capabilities, but he has a dry wit & often tends to be sarcastic. He enjoys sewing & knitting, hobbies that both utilize needles, but ironically has trypanophobia, a fear of injections & other medical procedures which involve needles.
