Game Info Game Info Weapon(s): X-Buster 1994 animated series info Voice: Michael Donovan X (エックス (Ekkusu)), also known as Mega Man X or Rockman X (ロックマンエックス (Rokkuman Ekkusu)) in Japan, is the main protagonist and playable character of the X era. He is the first robot considered a Reploid, created by Dr. Light before being sealed in a capsule, only to be discovered by Dr. Cain a century later. X revolutionized robotics and led to mass-production of Reploids. Now he works in the Maverick Hunters with his comrades Zero and Axl, fighting for peace between humans and Reploids. X also plays an important role in the Zero era, and later returns as the Biometal Model X in the ZX era. X is distinguished by his blue armor, his arm-mounted X-Buster, and a passionate desire for peace. In the Games X era X was created by Dr. Light sometime in 20XX. Light built X with a unique intelligence akin to that of a human conscience, allowing him to think, feel, and act with no programming limitations, along with highly-adaptable body technology. Light dreamed that X's technology would someday give all robots the ability to live and grow like humans. As Light approached the end of his life, he ensured X's reliability by installing complex viral counter-measures in him before sealing him in a capsule to conduct system tests for 30 years. Finally, Light left a final message including his hopes and fears, wishing for X to be a champion of peace in the future. On September 18, 20XX, X was sealed away. In 21XX, prior to the events of Mega Man X, X was discovered by Dr. Cain when he stumbled across the remains of Dr. Light's lab. He found X inside a large capsule with Dr. Light's warning message. Dr. Cain was amazed by X's specifications, as they were far beyond the current robotics, and began working with X to put his technology to use. They created the first Reploid together, before Reploids went into mass-production and revolutionized the world. While Cain formed the Maverick Hunters to control the dangerous Mavericks, X remained unsure of his place in the world, unaware of his true origins. Eventually he chose to join the Maverick Hunters as well, hoping to help humans and Reploids coexist, and was enrolled as a middle-rank B-Class Hunter due to his pacifism. In the 17th Unit, X came to befriend Zero while serving under Sigma - however, this would change when Sigma began his rebellion. Mega Man X X officially debuted in the original Mega Man X as the sole playable character. He first fights Mavericks in the Highway Stage, where he sees some success but is overpowered and paralyzed by Vile in a Ride Armor. Fortunately, he is rescued by Zero who blasts the Ride Armor's arm off and forces him to retreat. X laments his failure, but Zero reassures him that he shouldn't expect to defeat Vile yet and that he can still grow much stronger. While Zero scouts for information on Sigma's fortress, X goes up against the eight ex-Maverick Hunter bosses, some being his former colleagues from the 17th Unit. Upon defeating all of them, growing stronger in the process, Zero contacts him with coordinates to Sigma's fortress. In Sigma Stage 1, X and Zero split up so the latter can keep the "main defense force" busy while X sneaks in. They reunite when X is stopped by Vile, who leads Zero into a trap to face X alone again. When X is paralyzed again, Zero breaks out of his cage and sacrifices himself to destroy Vile's Ride Armor. Inspired, X escapes the paralysis and completely regains his energy, destroying Vile before moving on to be with Zero in his dying moments. Continuing until Sigma Stage 4, X defeats Velguarder to prove himself before finally fighting Sigma. With his former commander defeated, X retreats to a cliff to watch the flying fortress plunge into the ocean and explode. He ponders the paradox of achieving peace through violence, and the lives that were lost in the process.
