Created by Dr. Wily as a direct counter to Mega Man (including his very own robo-dog), Bass is entirely motivated by proving he’s the strongest, usually by defeating the Blue Bomber. Even though he was built by Wily, the two have often come to blows over who has the right to finally put Mega Man down, with Bass hating any other robot the evil doctor creates. Still, Bass will work with the Blue Bomber if push comes to shove, even showing up to help during Mega Man's Final Smash!
