Morrigan is a Sexy Man? And Ryu is a Robot?

I thought I knew the character of Morrigan from Darkstalkers, but my world view of her has been shattered. Around the time the original release of Marvel Vs. Capcom was on the horizon, Morrigan was named Sexy Man in a fake Rockman game. This was long before Mega Man 9 introduced the revolutionary concept of a female robot master with Splash Woman, but still... Sexy Man? This is giving me flashbacks of when I first learned about Poison and Roxy from Final Fight. According to Protodude's Rockman Corner, this fake ad of a fake Rockman game called Rockman V: Confrontation! Dr. Marvel! was in Capcom's Secret File Magazine #18, an issue dedicated to Marvel Vs. Capcom info. The ad turned familiar Capcom characters into Rockman / Mega Man-style robot masters, complete with robot master names.

Rockman V: Confrontation! Dr. Marvel! is the greatest game never made.

Ryu was Hadou Man, named after Hadouken, naturally. Spider-Man was Kumo Man. Kumo means spider in Japanese, so basically Spider-Man remained spider-Man. Captain Commando was Taichou Man, and taichou means commander. Venom was Doku Man, and with doku meaning venom, so he didn't have much of a name change. Morrigan was Sexy Man and that scares the hell outta me. Gambit had a non-traditional robot master name, but I bet it scored big with the ladies: Mr. Monami. Zangief was Nagehame Man. Nagehame means destructive throw, so I can imagine he would be one of the tougher bosses to topple. Captain America was American Man and that's actually really funny. Strider also had a non-traditional name of Nazo no Ninja Robo which means enigmatic ninja robot and that is just cool. Finally, Wolverine had the obvious name of Tsume Man, which is Claw Man.

 A real Mega Man game with stages formed around after a robo-Ryu, Gambit, Strider and the rest would be the greatest thing ever.
