Volt Man is a boss from the DOS version of Mega Man for the PC.
In Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 he appears as an NPC in Tier 9 and Tier 10. Furthermore, he also appears as a boss.
Volt Man is notable for appearing the most out of any of the devkit bosses, appearing in six stages. He appears in the submissions Wily Tower, Gigavolt Man, Poorly Named Level, and Cursor Curse (where he's accompanied by the Cursor spawning Tellies). He also appears as a boss in a Null and Void level that is based on his level from the PC games, as well as multiple times in SnoruntPyro's level for the Pit of Pits.
A modified version of Volt Man, called Volt Man MK2 appears in Tier X stage Nightwalk Castle.
As a devkit boss, Volt Man makes an appearance in The Arena. His boss fight from Poorly Named Level also appears in The Mega Arena. Volt Man is also featured at the end of the Mega Arena, as the boss Volt Man the Assimilator.
Strategy
At the start of the battle, Volt Man will jump up to the ceiling and equip his Force Field, then quickly drop down again. He will then jump after the player one to three times and stop to fire his Force Field at the player, with its parts flying off diagonally and an additional two bullets left and right. Following this attack, the cycle repeats.
The most effective way to fight Volt Man is to use the Slash Claw. It defeats him in five hits and also penetrates his Force Field, thus you can attack him even while he's shielded and make quick work of him. The Super Arrow and fully charged Mega Buster shots do significant damage as well, but you will have to wait for him to blast his shield before opening fire, drawing the battle out more.

Trivia
- Volt Man is tied with Mecha Dragon for the most common devkit boss in MaGMML2's entries, appearing in 4 levels.
- Volt Man and Mecha Dragon are also the only two devkit bosses to appear in The Mega Arena with unchanged sprites and AI.
- Volt Man appears in both Tier 9 (hidden in a secret area) and Tier 10. The only other Robot Masters who appear in different areas of the hub are Toad Man (who appears in the Main Hub and, occasionally, the Dojo) and Solar Man (who appears in the Main Hub and Tier 7).
