In the Games

Mega Man X4

Iris debuted in Mega Man X4, first appearing at the end of Zero's investigation of the ruins of Sky Lagoon. Having been kidnapped from Repliforce headquarters by Eregion, Iris is left disheveled on the ground until she is found by Zero.[2] He ensures her safety before moving on to destroy Eregion himself. After being saved by Zero, Iris began developing romantic feelings for him.[3][4]

Iris is then present in Hunter H.Q. on Zero's Stage Select screen, urging Zero not to fight Colonel and showing concern as he battles Repliforce. When Zero and Colonel duel at Memorial Hall, Iris interrupts their fight by reminding Colonel that Zero saved her life. The two begrudgingly recognize the favor and end their battle, but Iris worries as the two both voice their convictions as they depart.

Once all eight bosses are defeated, Zero ignores Iris' pleas and faces Colonel again at the Space Port, destroying him. When he returns, Iris has left Hunter H.Q., having rushed to Colonel's remains to recover his Core Crystal.

Iris then travels to the Final Weapon, where she appears before Zero holding the Core Crystal. Broken-hearted, Iris claims she must avenge her brother and fuses with the Core Crystal to create a Ride Armor-like battle armor. She loses control in this form, forcing Zero to mortally wound her to stop her rampage. Held in Zero's arms, Iris shares her dream to live with Zero in a world of only Reploids, before tragically passing away.

Mega Man Xtreme 2

Iris appeared retroactively in the prequel Mega Man Xtreme 2, where she is temporarily employed with the Maverick Hunters as part of her Repliforce training. However, she gets caught up in the Erasure incident on Laguz Island and ends up serving as the operator for both X and Zero during the game.[5] In Zero's ending, he mentions that he hopes Colonel won't be angry with him for getting Iris into such a difficult mission.
