My username is a combination of
Solar Blaze + Solar Man.
Solar Man is one of
Mega Man 10's Robot Masters / bosses. Here's a short official description of him:
"He has the ability to create ultra-high temperature artificial sunlight. Since he and his coworkers spend so much time cooped up in the lab, he developed his own «Solar Workout» plan which is slowly gaining recognition. Solar Man’s artificial sunlight blocks and absorbs Mega Man’s attack!" (
Capcom, 2010).

He's definitely got my favourite character design and boss battle of this game's Robot Masters, and as you can see, a mugshot of him makes for a fantastic avatar.
One of the key mechanics of the
Classic Mega Man series is that you obtain a
weapon after defeating each Robot Master, which is based on one (or even many,
in a few cases) of their own. The weapon that you get from Solar Man is the
Solar Blaze:
This is a fire projectile that splits apart after a few seconds or after it hits an enemy/surface, launching 2 fire waves to both left and right. It's not my favourite weapon of this game mainly due to its high energy cost, but it has some optimal uses (such as piercing enemy shields).
