What is the full name of Dr. Light, Mega Man's creator?

The full name of Dr. Light, Mega Man’s creator, is Thomas Light. He is generally identified in the series as Doctor Thomas Light, the brilliant roboticist who developed Mega Man and several other important robots.

Light was originally a colleague of Dr. Albert W. Wily when they were university students. Their partnership ended after Wily became jealous of Light’s achievements. Wily later reprogrammed several of Light’s robots, prompting Rock to be converted from a laboratory assistant into the combat robot Mega Man.

Dr. Light is more than Mega Man’s inventor: the series portrays him as a paternal figure to Mega Man, Roll, and Proto Man. His name is sometimes shortened to Dr. Light, but “Thomas Light” is the canonical full name. Albert Wily is not an alternate name; Albert W. Wily is the full name of Light’s rival.
