The Leaf Shield first appeared in ''Mega Man 2'', as the special weapon of Wood Man. These "leaves" are actually shaped pieces of ceratanium, which have been sharpened around the edges. They are able to levitate due to electromagnetism. In ''Mega Man 2'', Mega Man would have to stay still to use this weapon. When staying still, the shield will not leave Mega Man, and will protect him from all attacks. When Mega Man does move, the shield flies off in which ever direction Mega Man started walking in. The Leaf Shield also serves as Air Man's weakness by clogging his fan with the leaves generated. When used on any other boss besides Air Man, the leaves will do 0 damage. In ''Mega Man 2'', the entire Leaf Shield would disappear upon hitting a target, or pierce one with low health. In in the ''Game Boy version'', each leaf behaves as its own projectile, much like in ''Smash Bros.''.

===Skull Barrier===
One of the move's variations, Plant Barrier, first appeared in ''Mega Man 6'', as the power of Plant Man. The "flower petals" are created from condensed energy to protect Mega Man from attacks. It vanishes when hit, but unlike some shield-based powers, it cannot be thrown. It does not vanish if it hits an invulnerable or shielded enemy; however, it can bypass shields and inflict damage. Plant Barrier is the weakness of Tomahawk Man.
One of the move's variations, Skull Barrier, first appeared in ''Mega Man 4'', as the power of Skull Man. The energy shield, which takes the shape of skulls, shuts off when hit. Mega Man can move while the Skull Barrier is active, but he cannot throw this shield. Skull Barrier is the weakness of Dive Man.
