Is protoman ever important to the story? Like hes a random easy mini boss in his intro then just does that once or twice and thats it. Does he have any stories or lore in the comics or something or are the NES games the extent of his development?

Proto Man is Mega Man's brother. For a few reasons he refuses to come home and remains independent.In MM3 Proto Man is introduced. MM3 was rushed and so we don't quite get enough of his development, but we do know that he was technically Dr. Light's first Robot MasterIn MM4 Proto Man doesn't play much of a role, but he shows up when you're fighting against the ostensible villain of the game, Dr. Cossack. Cossack's daughter, Kalinka, was kidnapped and held hostage by Wily, and in that way Wily forced him to use his Robot Masters against the world. Proto Man rescues Kalinka and returns her to Cossack, allowing Mega Man to go after Wily.In MM5 Proto Man is the villain, leading Robot Masters and other industrial robots in a bid for independence, etc. It turns out it is actually a Wily Robot Master in disguise, Dark Man, and all of the Robot Masters and haywire robots have been under his command the whole time. Proto Man shows up to kick the impostor's ass, after which you kick Wily's ass.I cannot remember Proto Man having much of a role in MM6In MM7 Proto Man shows up a few times to give you hints, and he is also a hidden optional boss. If you defeat him you get an item from him.I do not remember his role in MM8In MM9 and MM10 he is an unlockable player characterCan't remember his roles in Mega Man & Bass or MM11

>>153268355Addendum to my own postIn general Proto Man gets different aspects depending on who's writing him but typically he is relatively important in being a lost relative of Mega Man's and sort of a lost child of Dr. Light who won't come home, and that acts as a crux for other story elements to happen. I haven't read Mega Man Megamix but in the Archie comics Proto Man runs on an unstable power source and turns to Wily for help, which Wily uses to quietly fix him (without telling him) and then manipulate him into working as his goon. Proto Man fears returning to Dr. Light in the belief that Light would change his personality, his fundamental self, and there's story beats about self and independence as a robot in that sense. The Archie comics went up to and past MM3 but never quite reached MM4 sadly so we didn't get to see Proto Man rescuing Kalinka from Wily.
>>153268306Im mainly asking about the archie comics so it felt more appropriate to post here
