I think it's that he fits the classic "big tough friend" archetype that shows up constantly in Japanese cartoons. Boss in Mazinger is the first that comes to mind, but there's also that kid in Detective Conan and even Barrett in FFVII when you think about it. Given how MegaMan is so obviously inspired by classic Japanese cartoons, it's not too surprising that they'd end up with a recurring character who could fill this role.

Cut Man is more iconic and has more historical value to the series, being conceived around the same time as Mega Man himself as a protagonist. Also, his successor, Metal Man, is all around one of the best robot masters in the series.

Because he was for 90% of players the first boss they ever faced in Megaman. Yes it's probably better to fight Bomb Man first but we didn't know that back then.

What I liked about the original 6 robot masters is that they were designed with a job in mind (working in construction, power plants, etc.) prior to being reprogrammed to be evil by Wily. The themes for some of the later robot masters seem so stupid and arbitrary in comparison. "Top" Man? "Pharaoh"Man?

Because he stole those ones, he built the others himself from scratch.

Try playing his stage sometime, newb. You'll go to Bomb Man's or Cut Man's stage immediately.

But I always went to Guts Man first. Yeah I know the stage itself is annoying but I'm basing it on which robot masters are easiest to beat first.

there's an explanation for every one of them, with the most bizarre being that shadow man is an alien robot that wily found in an ancient ruin

I'll never forgive the faggot /v/irgin who recommended I tackle Shadow Man first because his weapon is most like Metal Man's.

idk, having scissors on your head while being a timber felling robot is pretty stupid, or being an antarctic investigation robot designed to look like he's wearing a parka
