A virus (ウイルス) is a type of malicious computer program that infects and modifies other computer programs. Viruses appear in various forms across the Mega Man series.

In the Games

Classic era

In Mega Man 10, the virus Roboenza is a major plot point. Robots infected by it suffer symptoms similar to those a human suffers from an organic virus such as influenza, plus driving them to act disobediently and dangerously.

X era

In Mega Man X2, an evil computer virus called the Maverick Virus has the power to turn Reploids into Mavericks. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Sigma's true form is actually a manifestation of the Maverick Virus, known as the Sigma Virus. In future games, Sigma uses the Sigma Virus to corrupt many Reploids into his servants, such as Dr. Doppler in Mega Man X3 who had created a vaccine to the virus.

In Mega Man X5, the Sigma Virus interacts with another virus called the Colony Virus, named as such because it was planted in the space colony Eurasia. When the two viruses merge, they form the powerful Zero Virus, which warps reality itself and threatens to awaken Zero to his original self.
