X (エックス), also known as Cyber-elf X (サイバーエルフエックス)[1] or Original X (オリジナルエックス),[2][3] is a supporting character from the Zero era. Previously the main protagonist of the X era, he justly governed Neo Arcadia until he sacrificed his physical body to seal away the Dark Elf, leaving him in the digital form of a Cyber-elf.

In the Games

X era

X originally appeared in the X era in 21XX, when he was a Maverick Hunter who fought Mavericks alongside his longtime ally, Zero. While Zero sealed himself away so his body's mysterious properties could be researched (as depicted at the end of Mega Man X6), X continued to fight Mavericks for hundreds of years.

Mega Man Zero

In Mega Man Zero, the year is now 23XX and X has founded the nation of Neo Arcadia. However, he appears to have grown uncharacteristically ruthless, persecuting Reploids in favor of the humans and fighting the Resistance. Late in the story, Ciel finally reveals that the current dictator of Neo Arcadia is actually a flawed replica called Copy X, whom she created after the real X went missing.

The real X is a Cyber-elf, who appears at key points to aid Zero. He first appears in the Underground Laboratory to give Zero his Z-Saber so he can save Ciel, not yet revealing his true identity. He then appears after Resistance Base Defense, telling Zero that he has disabled the defenses of Neo Arcadia's headquarters and urging him to stop Copy X. Once Zero successfully defeats Copy X, X saves him from the explosion by teleporting him to the wilderness. He finally reveals his identity and urges Zero to continue fighting for justice, before disappearing.

Mega Man Zero 2

In Mega Man Zero 2, X first appears after Zero defeats Hyleg Ourobockle and catches a Baby Elf, cryptically telling him that the Baby Elves will seek their mother, before vanishing. Throughout the game, Zero can collect information on the past. This reveals that long ago, X used the Mother Elf to erase the Sigma Virus and end the Maverick Wars, and that his original body should still exist somewhere.

After Burble Hekelot is defeated, X urges Zero to stop Elpizo before he can free the Dark Elf. Once Elpizo reaches Yggdrasil, X reveals that his body is the seal to the Dark Elf. However, Elpizo successfully enters the sanctum and uses his rapier to destroy X's body, freeing the Dark Elf. After Zero defeats Elpizo and the Dark Elf flees, X explains that the Dark Elf was once the Mother Elf, until she was cursed by Dr. Weil.

Mega Man Zero 3

In Mega Man Zero 3,

Mega Man Zero 4

In Mega Man Zero 4, X doesn't make an appearance due to him running out of energy to exist. Two Guards make a mention of X being defeated by a reploid with a glowing sword, However, this is refering to Copy X as they are unaware of the fate of the true X.

ZX era

X returns in the ZX era in 25XX in the form of Model X, a Biometal that carries his data. Model X comes into the possession of Vent/Aile, a Mega Man who can Megamerge with it to gain powers similar to X's. It is unique for its Double Megamerge ability, which lets the user combine with other Biometal to mix their properties, such as fusing with Model Z to form the titular Model ZX.
