Blaze Heatnix (ブレイズ・ヒートニックス) is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X6. He is a fire-themed Reploid based on a phoenix, who attacks with lava and by flying with his burning body. He is a former disaster relief worker who was brought back to life as one of the Nightmare Investigators.

In the Games

Mega Man X6

Sprite from Mega Man X6.

Blaze Heatnix debuted in Mega Man X6 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of the Magma Area, observing the Nightmare Magma. In the past, he was built by Gate to withstand the heat of subterranean hotspots, and joined a disaster relief team specializing in volcano rescues. He was arrogant of his elevated power and became uncooperative, leaving behind colleagues, which resulted in needless casualties. Because of this, he was eventually conspired against and disposed of while deep underground. However, he was later resurrected by Gate to serve as a Nightmare Investigator.[1]

In battle, Blaze Heatnix fills the arena with magma to limit the player's movement before pestering them with his own fire attacks. Defeating Heatnix grants Magma Blade to X and Shoenzan to Zero. His weakness is the Ground Dash or Sentsuizan from Ground Scaravich, which briefly stuns him. A boss attack rematch with Blaze Heatnix later occurs in the ?????? stage.

Mega Man X6 results screen "Blaze Heatnix. An ex-investigator for the Hot Spot. His ability is far beyond the others. He could research any dangerous area. All others who fell behind were killed... Gate, who created Heatnix, improved his powers and strengths. In order to prevent any more victims, Heatnix was disposed deep underground."
