Duo is a fictional video game character in the Mega Man Classic series. He is a solitary figure, (much like Proto Man) and all that anyone on Earth knows about him is that he is a robot made on an alien planet, and he was designed to eradicate "Evil Energy". History
Duo first appeared in Mega Man 8, chasing a purple robot possessed by the Evil Energy. The two robots fight in space, and both crash to Earth. Mega Man is sent by Dr. Light to recover the "meteor", but only arrives to see Dr. Wily escape with the Evil Energy from the crashed purple robot. He then finds Duo, and brings him to Dr. Light's Lab for repairs. Duo, upon regaining consciousness, leaves to find and destroy the Evil Energy Dr. Wily took. Mega Man and Duo fight, but soon realize that they are not enemies. Duo later shows up to save Mega Man from a giant robot Dr. Wily has created and powered with the Evil Energy. At this point, Duo introduces himself, and formulates a plan to stop Wily. Duo would destroy the rest of the Evil Energy that has spread throughout the Earth, while Mega Man would destroy the generators making a barrier surrounding Wily Tower, and they would meet up inside later. Sometime later, as the mad doctor's Wily Machine prepares to blast the stunned Mega Man, Duo arrives and takes the hit, saving Mega Man once again. He then returns to Dr. Light's lab to recover at Proto Man's suggestion. After Wily Tower crumbles, Duo saves Mega Man yet again by removing the Evil Energy from his body. Before leaving to resume his search for Evil Energy, he thanks Mega Man, and says that he hopes they will see each other again. He later appears in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, and is also included in the Mega Man & Bass database. Even though they do not know about Duo's mysterious past life or even where he came from, Mega Man and his friends still accept him as a valuable ally. Personality
Duo comes off as an adult version of Mega Man in many respects. As opposed to X who has more self-doubt and angst than his younger counterpart, Duo retains Mega Man's idealistic view of good vs. evil while being more mature in his actions and more powerful in his body. In this way, Duo seems to be somewhat of a mentor to Mega Man.Trivia
- Duo first appeared in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (Arcade 1996).
- Duo is also in the database in Mega Man & Bass (SNES/Game Boy Advance 1998-2002).
- Duo has a Battle Network counter-part who is more vicious at destroying evil energy.

(Of notice is the fact that in the Battle Network series is that he is the only one who uses the term "Evil Energy", all other characters say "Dark Energy".
