Characters
Maverick Hunters
The Maverick Hunters, known as Irregular Hunters (イレギュラーハンター Iregyurā Hantā) are a group of Reploids who protect humans and other Reploids from Mavericks and are the heroes of the Mega Man X series, with its protagonists being prominent Maverick Hunters. When they are introduced in Mega Man X, they have existed for some time, having been founded by Dr. Cain, who has since retired. From Mega Man X onward, they battle Sigma and the other Mavericks.
X
X is the main protagonist of the Mega Man X series. Dr. Light created him, but feared the ramifications of giving robots free will and so chose to seal him inside a capsule for 30 years to test the integrity and reliability of his systems.[1] Dr. Light died before X's diagnostics were complete, and 100 years later another scientist, Dr. Cain, discovered his capsule and attempted to emulate his technology. With X's help, Cain developed the first mass-produced Reploids: humanoid androids based upon X's designs.
Zero
Originally intended to be the protagonist of Mega Man X,[2] he was recast as X's mentor and partner in favor of an X who looked "more like Mega Man". He is a top-class Maverick Hunter who undergoes inner turmoil over his mysterious past and purpose, which he seems to see glimpses of in nightmares, and the fact that the Virus does not affect him like it does with other reploids, who become Mavericks.
Axl
- Voiced by (English): Lenne Hardt (X7);[3] Jeffrey Watson (X8)[4]
Voiced by (Japanese): Minami Takayama[3][5][6]
Axl (アクセル Akuseru) is a black and red-armored reploid with an X-shaped scar above his nose who wields a pair of handheld blaster pistols. He first appears in Mega Man X7, where he displays an ability called A-Trans, which allows him to take on the appearance and abilities of any reploid he defeats which matches his size, allowing him to explore normally inaccessible areas. He also has the ability to hover in midair and roll through enemy shots. While his gameplay style was originally similar to X, Mega Man X8 reworked his gameplay to give him a distinctive fighting style. His shots are now rapid-fire abilities and can fire in any direction, and instead of copying the Maverick weapons like X, he instead gains a new type of gun for each boss he defeats, which have unlimited ammo and can be fired either multi-directional or rapid-fire. While overall the weakest in power, Axl's fighting style relies more on speed compared to X's powerful but slower charge shots and Zero's swordplay.
Dr. Cain
- Voiced by (English): Michael Shepherd[7]
Voiced by (Japanese): Tadashi Miyazawa[8]
Dr. Cain is a human archaeologist and robot expert, who serves as a supporting character throughout the Mega Man X games. He discovered the dormant X in the ruins of Dr. Light's lab, and soon after invented Reploids, sapient robots based on X's design, with the most notable being Sigma. Sigma, being the most advanced robot at the time, became the head of the Maverick Hunters, a group of reploids dedicated to destroying reploids that violate the three rules of robotics.
Iris
- Voiced by (Japanese): Yūko Mizutani (PXZ);[9] Aya Endō (X DiVE–present)[10][11]
Repliforce scientists created Iris alongside her brother Colonel as one half of the "Perfect Soldier program", with Colonel being the other half. She was compassionate and peaceful, while Colonel was a strong-willed Reploid warrior. Repliforce scientists struggled to make these two factors into one Reploid, and because the differences were irreconcilable, they split them into brother and sister Reploids.
In Mega Man X4, Iris is one of the two characters alongside Double who can only be fought depending on whether the player chooses Zero or X.
Alia
- Voiced by (English): Rumiko Varnes (X7);[3] Marriete Sluyter (X8)[4]
Voiced by (Japanese): Rumi Kasahara[3][5]
Alia acts as a Navigator for the Maverick Hunters in Mega Man X5 and onwards. She began her career as a researcher in Reploid engineering alongside her colleague Gate, whom she was said to have feelings for. They were ahead of their time in their research on Reploids, though she contends that Gate was a better programmer than she was. However, Gate's inability to follow the rules made him a social outcast, and his creations were systematically destroyed, sometimes with Alia's assistance. She soon mastered programming languages and was chosen to be a spotter for the Hunters. In Mega Man X5, Alia served as the Hunters' spotter during the Sigma Virus outbreak, while lending her technical talents to the cause by uploading and letting X utilize the Falcon and Gaea armor.
Layer
Layer is a navigator alongside Alia and Pallette in X8, with her high processing power allowing her to quickly determine enemy abilities. For the most part, Layer appears to be the oldest navigator and is calm and collected. However, she seems to show more concern for Zero, even blushing when talking to him. Palette's comment on how she "waited the whole time for him" seemingly implies that she has a crush on him.[12] Layer is also a secret unlockable character in the game, and has gameplay similar to Zero's. She wields her own sword weapon, the "Layer Rapier", allowing her to use the same abilities as Zero, but cannot use his "Black Armor".
Pallette
Pallette is another navigator alongside Alia and Layer in X8 who excels at finding hidden routes at facilities, allowing X to find Dr. Light's armor capsules. She appears to be the most playful of the navigators and hates being ignored. Pallette is also an unlockable character in the game, taking after Axl's playstyle but being unable to use Axl's copy ability.
Douglas
Douglas is a mechanic for the Maverick Hunters. In Mega Man X5, he constructs modules for X and Zero and reinforces the Enigma Cannon and Space Shuttle with parts they gather from the Mavericks. During the Nightmare outbreak in X6, Douglas helps X and Zero by refining modules for them.
Signas
- Voiced by (English): Robert Belgrade (X7);[3] Roger Rhodes (X8)[4]
Voiced by (Japanese): Hirotaka Suzuoki (X7);[3] Tsuneyoshi Iwatsuru (X8)[5]
Signas is the newest leader and commander of the Maverick Hunters, who is introduced in X5. He was originally a private investigator before being assigned to the Maverick Hunters, commanding missions and overseeing major operations. He is loyal to both humans and Reploids and is determined to ensure that all Mavericks are eliminated. He has the most advanced CPU of the current Reploids.
Mavericks
Mavericks, known as Irregulars (イレギュラー Iregyurā) in Japan, are Reploids who have turned against humans, usually violently. Reploids can become Mavericks for a variety of reasons, such as a virus or their own free will. As the chronology of the Mega Man franchise progresses, the term "Maverick" comes to mean any individual or creature, human or Reploid, that presents a threat to civilization or those in power.
Sigma
Sigma (シグマ Shiguma) is the primary antagonist of the Mega Man X series, who Dr. Cain considered to be the finest reploid of the time, with circuitry designs meant to prevent him from becoming a Maverick. He was once the leader of the Maverick Hunters, but during a mission, he came into contact with Zero, who at the time was rampaging after falling under the influence of the Zero Virus.
Prior to the first Mega Man X game, Sigma was the most advanced Reploid of his time and the leader of the Maverick Hunters. However, one day, the Maverick Hunters received reports of a powerful "Red Maverick" that had destroyed an entire squadron of Hunters. While investigating, Sigma and his unit tracked it down to an abandoned laboratory and learned that it was Zero, an evil robot that Dr. Wily created which carried the Maverick Virus. After Sigma defeated Zero, the virus was inadvertently transferred into him. While the virus was purged from Zero, turning him benevolent, the virus adapted to Sigma, becoming the Sigma Virus.
After gradually succumbing to the virus, he suddenly led a mass revolt among the Reploids, declaring total war on humans and seeking to carry out a genocide against them.[13] Many Maverick Hunters chose to follow Sigma out of loyalty, leaving Zero in charge of the organization. X, the last creation of Dr. Light and the base model for the Reploids, decided to volunteer and joined Zero. X and Zero battle through the Maverick regime, and ultimately X destroys Sigma; however, while his physical body is scrapped, his "soul", the Virus, survives. After the end credits, Sigma's face appears on a blue monitor and warns X that he will be back.[14]
Sigma returns in each installment of the series in various forms, but X defeats him each time. His final appearance is in Mega Man X8, where he is finally destroyed for good. However, the Sigma Virus remains, prompting the events of the Mega Man Zero series.
Sigma appears in the crossover game Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. In the story mode, he merges with Ultron to become "Ultron Sigma" to convert the inhabitants of both worlds into their slaves.[15] Sigma as a playable character is available for purchase as standalone downloadable content or as part of the game's character pass.[16]
Sigma was referenced in an episode of the 1994 cartoon, where X, Vile, and Spark Mandrill travel back in time, with his name being spelled as Cigma. He also appears in a short unlockable OVA in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, "The Day of Σ", which depicts the Maverick Hunters prior to the events of the first Mega Man X game under Sigma's command, prior to his revolt.
Vile
- Voiced by (English): Roger Rhodes[7]
Voiced by (Japanese): Mugihito[5][8]
Vile, known as VAVA (ヴァヴァ) in Japanese, is a recurring major villain in the Mega Man X series, who frequently reappears as a mid-game boss. He is first introduced in Mega Man X, where he is a former Maverick Hunter now serving Sigma as his right-hand man.
X-Hunters
The X-Hunters, known as the Counter Hunters (カウンターハンター Kauntā Hantā) in Japan, are a group of three Mavericks formed to counter the Maverick Hunters and destroy X, who serve as the main antagonists of Mega Man X2. Its members are Violen (バイオレン Baioren), the muscle and enforcer, Serges, known as Sagesse (サーゲス Sāgesu) in Japan, the brains and scientist, and Agile (アジール Ajīru), the speed and military strategist. They are among the few remaining followers in the Maverick rebellion and led a rebellion of their own after Sigma's death and took over the North Pole. They were also in possession of Zero's parts, which was part of their Unification Plan to rebuild him as a Maverick, and challenge X in a duel for the parts after some of their Mavericks are defeated. Each member is found in a secret area of a stage and will move to another stage. After X defeats them and recovers the three parts, he has a final battle with them at their lair and destroys them, eventually confronting a newly revived Sigma.
Dr. Doppler
Dr. Doppler (Dr.ドップラー Doppurā) is the main antagonist of Mega Man X3. He is a Reploid researcher who was friends with Dr. Cain and supposedly discovered a cure for Maverick Reploids, founding a city, Dopple Town, in honor of it. When the supposedly cured reploids began causing riots in Dopple Town, the Maverick Hunters held Doppler accountable. After X and Zero defeat him, Doppler reveals that the viral form of Sigma corrupted him and ordered him to create a new body for him. Eventually, Zero learns that Dr. Doppler has the true antivirus and applies it to his Z-Saber to finish off Sigma and allow him and X himself to escape from Doppler's exploding laboratory. Alternatively, if Zero is injured, Dr. Doppler uses his body as the true antivirus and sacrifices himself.
Nightmare Police
The Nightmare Police (ナイトメアポリス Naitomea Porisu) is a duo of Reploids who Dr. Doppler enlisted as law enforcement in Dopple Town to protect it before the uprising and joining his army, consisting of Bit, known as Vajurila FF (ヴァジュリーラＦＦ Vajurīra FF) in Japan, the faster of the two, and Byte, known as Mandarela BB (マンダレーラBB Mandarēra BB) in Japan, the stronger of the two. They are found and fought in the eight stages of Mega Man X3, where Doppler sends them to destroy X and Zero. If at least one of them is defeated but not destroyed, they combine to form Godkarmachine O Inary (ゴッドカルマシーン・O・イナリー Goddokarumashīn O Inarī) in the first stage of Doppler's fortress, which is an upgrade received from Doppler after their first defeat.
Double
Double (ダブル Daburu) is a supporting character in Mega Man X4. He befriends X during his mission and acts as his mission operator, but as X heads to the Final Weapon, Double reveals his true purpose as a spy Sigma sent to infiltrate the Maverick Hunters and unveils his true personality as a combat-loving sadist, cruelly taunting X about his naivety when defeated. After defeating some Maverick Hunters in their headquarters, Double pursues X inside the Final Weapon and reveals his true form to him, causing X to realize he was betrayed and confront and destroy him in combat.
His nickname is Jello Man, which predates the release of Mega Man X4 and comes from Capcom USA’s official X4 webpage in 1997, which displayed artwork of Double’s true form labeled with that name. This fans moniker stuck due to the character's distinctive visual design, featuring a tall, lean body filled with a pink fluid or gel, making him appear almost squishy and gelatinous, contrasting with his initial pudgy, spherical disguise.[17]
Gate
Gate (ゲイト Geito) is the main antagonist of Mega Man X6. He is a researcher who formerly worked with Alia and possessed knowledge far ahead of his peers. He was eventually exiled from the research community when his colleagues, including Alia, conspired to destroy his Reploids out of fear for their power and inability to be analyzed. Following the crash of Eurasia, Gate discovered a piece of Zero's DNA and became infected by traces of the Maverick virus within it. Obsessed with building his own utopia for only the most supreme Reploids, Gate created the Nightmare Virus and the Zero Nightmare, a clone of Zero, to instill fear in the population, then revived his Reploids as the "Nightmare Investigators", supposedly to protect them, but in reality to lead them to their deaths.
Isoc
Isoc is Gate's chief assistant, who appears in Mega Man X6. He is first seen giving a rousing speech to the Reploids and recruiting them as Nightmare Investigators. His true goal is to observe the effects of the Nightmare Virus and report them to Gate for further refinements. Isoc also shows an obsession with Zero, claiming that he knows everything about him.
High Max
High Max, known as HI-MAX (ハイマックス Hai Makkusu) in Japan, is an antagonist in Mega Man X6. He was created by Gate as the ultimate Reploid, using DNA taken from Zero to make him powerful and resistant to damage. As the leader of the Nightmare Investigators, High Max is assigned with seeking out and destroying the Zero Nightmare as part of Gate's farce to lead the "low-grade" Reploids to their deaths.

Mega Man Zero / Mega Man ZX characters
Ciel
- Voiced by (Japanese): Rie Tanaka (X DiVE)[10]
Dr. Ciel is a supporting protagonist of the Mega Man Zero series. A human scientist, Ciel sought out the legendary Reploid hero, Zero, to fight back against the tyranny of Neo Arcadia, leading the Resistance to support him. She would later become the creator of the main six Biometals and founder of the Guardians in the Mega Man ZX series.
Alouette
Alouette is a supporting character in the Mega Man Zero series. One of many Reploids from Neo Arcadia who joined the Resistance, she was named by Ciel, who considers her like a sister. Although not outright confirmed, it is strong implied that Prairie, the commander of the Guardians in the Mega Man ZX series, may be an older Alouette.
Weil
Dr. Weil is the main antagonist of the Mega Man Zero series. A brilliant but cruel scientist, he seeks total dominion over humans and Reploids alike, being the main engineer of Elf Wars and continuing to scheme ever since. Though perishing in Mega Man Zero 4, Weil's influence lingers in the Mega Man ZX series as his essence resides in the Biometal Model W, which fuels the major conflicts of the series.

Anyway, what is it Layer?' / Layer: 'Umm, I did a little bit of research, but I'm unable to determine Lumine's location. Umm, anyway... that's all.'
