Star Man (or Starman) is a Robot Master appearing in Mega Man 5. He is one of the Robot Masters ostensibly working for Proto Man in a bid for world domination, though like the others, he is later revealed to have been created by Dr. Wily.
Star Man is a space-themed, brown and golden robot with a torso shaped like a star and more stars adorning his helmet and joints. He is able to create a shield of spinning stars around him and take advantage of the low gravity environment of space to jump very high.
Physical appearance
Star Man is a Robot Master with a black body and green eyes. He has a brown helmet, a brown bracer with a star (on his right arm), and brown leg armors. He also has a yellow star on his leg armor and his helmet. Along with that, his right hand and his feet are white.
Personality
Star Man is a romanticist and a sentimentalist. He enjoys musicals and operas. He tends to value his emotions over logic and does not interact well with pessimists. He dreams of travelling through space with a partner of his own. He often refers to himself as the Splendid Noble Youth (Mega Man Robot Master Field Guide).
In the Games
Mega Man 5
In Mega Man 5, Star Man is one of the main eight Robot Master bosses and appears as the sixth choice (in reading order) on the stage select screen. his stage is set in space and affected by low gravity throughout, making for a similar experience to underwater stages in other NES Mega Man games.
Star Man is fought in the same low-gravity environment found throughout his stage, enabling both him and Mega Man to jump all the way to the ceiling. He fights by activating his Star Crash shield and making long or tall jumps across the room, eventually stopping in midair near the ground or at the peak of a tall jump to throw the shield at Mega Man. The shield blocks shots and is relatively large, but does not move very fast.
Star Man's weakness is the Water Wave from Wave Man, which not only deals 4 damage to him, but also goes through and instantly removes his shield, effectively disarming him. Defeating him grants Mega Man the Star Crash and Super Arrow.
Battle Network era
Star Man has a Net Navi equivalent in StarMan.EXE, with a motif based on an alien and a shooting star. He appears in Mega Man Network Transmission and RockMan.EXE 4.5 Real Operation and has no operator.
Official Data
Mega Man & Bass CD

Other media
Star Man appears in the 1994 Mega Man (animated series) in the "Curse of the Lion Men" (episode 22).
Star Man does not often use the Star Crash, however he can still shoot directly at Mega Man with his cannon. His star shaped arm cannon shapes his plasma shots into a star shape.
Mega Man: Upon a Star
In the three episodes from the OVA, the bosses from Mega Man 5 make a short appearance fighting against Mega Man and assisting Dr. Wily.
Mega Man Megamix
This version of Star Man is quite different than his personality in other media. He is very flamboyant and a narcissist, carrying a rose around in his mouth which he uses to communicate with Dr. Wily.
In the manga, Star Man acts as the chief administrator and operator of Wily's space station. Star Man is designed to specialize in low gravity areas during combat, and is able to withstand and operate well on these environments. Star Man has the ability to create a small gravity field around himself, known as Star Crash. The gravitational energy is weaker than Gravity Man's, however it has great durability and is useful in many situations since it can be released at an opponent as an attack. Star Crash even had enough durability to resist Bass's shots.
Star Man is openly attracted to Roll, such to the point that it annoys other Robot Masters. He is known as the leader of the Mega Man 5 bosses.
Star Man first appears in the story Holiday of Soldiers where he and the other Mega Man 5 Robot Masters get part-time jobs at an amusement park to make money for Dr. Wily. They refer to themselves as "The Hourly Pay Squad: Part-Timers", with Star Man specifically referring to himself as "Star Gold". Star Man operates the tea cup ride. Despite looking suspicious, they seem dedicated to their jobs even when Mega Man and his friends show up for a fay at the amusement park. After Bass attacks, Star Man uses Star Crash to protect his allies. To Mega Man's suprsie Bass is defeated by the Mega Man 5 Robot Masters.
Mega Man Gigamix
In Mega Man Gigamix, Star Man appeara during the story Moon of Darkness, where he and the other Mega Man 5 Robot Masters help Mega Man defend against the invasion of the Star Droids. Star Man does it "for the sake or his customers." During a stand off with Mercury and Uranus, they realize they are quite weak compared to the Star Droids. Using his Star Crash. Star Man shields Charge Man as he attempted to help Mega Man escape.
Star Man and the other Robot Master's remains are found brutally torn and heavily damaged. However, with the help of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, the damaged Robot Masters are repaired. However, Star Man loses his head in a fight with Beat nd Reggae. His body is used to power and guide Wily's skull satellite to the final fight against Terra. He is accompanied by Mega Man, Ring Man, and Shadow Man.

Behind the scenes
Star Man was designed by Tatsumi Saegusa for the Mega Man 5 boss character contest. His friend Yūsuke Murata also designed Crystal Man and Dust Man. A shot comic by Murata mentioning Saegusa as "S-kun" was included in the Mega Man: Official Complete Works (Page 310)
Trivia
- Star Man is one of four Robot Masters from Mega Man 5 never to appear in a Game Boy series game, due to Mega Man IV containing only half of the game's Robot Masters and Mega Man V abandoning the concept of recycling bosses rather than featuring the other half. The other three are Gravity Man, Wave Man and Gyro Man.
- The portraits of Star Man and Proto Man in Mega Man 5 are modified versions of each other and have a lot of pixels in common.
- It is theorized that Star Man creates his Star Crash's barrier out of the energy "stars" he can fire out of his cannon.
