Infinity Mijinion (インフィニティー・ミジニオン) is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X6. He is a laser-themed Reploid based on a water flea, who attacks by splitting into clones and firing lasers. He is a former weapons test pilot who is now part of the Nightmare Investigators.
In the Games
Mega Man X6
Infinity Mijinion debuted in Mega Man X6 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of the Weapon Center, observing the Nightmare-awoken Illumina. He was built by Gate as a test pilot for manned weapons, possessing optic fibers that gave him incredible data processing capacity. He proved arrogant and reckless when testing weaponry, causing a rift between himself and his staff, which eventually led to him being disposed of in a staged accident. However, he was later resurrected by Gate to serve as a Nightmare Investigator.[2]
Infinity Mijinion floats around the arena firing lasers, and splits into clones of himself when attacked, which can quickly become overwhelming. Defeating Mijinion grants Ray Arrow to X and Rekkoha to Zero. His weakness is the Guard Shell from Shield Sheldon, which sends him flying. A boss attack rematch with Infinity Mijinion later occurs in the ?????? stage.

Rockman X6 manual | A former test pilot for giant manned weapons. His body is special, incorporating phototransmitters that give him processing power comparable to ultra-high-performance computers. When equipping any kind of weapon, he can analyze its specs in a very short period of time.[JP] |
Mega Man X6 Boss | "Infinity Mijinion. Ex-test pilot for large weapons. He had a special body that could process at a high speed. He ignored the test program, choosing instead to go on his on schedule. He produced excellent results... But he always had trouble with the other staff. Even Gate was unable to control him... One day, he was disposed of by making it look like an accident..." - Alia |
Compendium of Rockman X | A former test pilot for giant manned weapons. Because of his high processing power, he had a misunderstanding with his staff over the execution of a dangerous test procedure. He was eliminated and it was disguised as an accident.[JP] |
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 Gallery | Originally designed as a test pilot for giant-sized piloted war machines, the optic fiber material built into Mijinion's body gives him the processing power of several supercomputers. Within moments of climbing into a vehicle, he can scan and analyze its capabilities and be ready to pilot it into battle. |

Developer Commentary
- "I guess it's because we had made it to the sixth title in the series, but we got into some pretty unusual themes for our boss characters, like scarabs and water fleas. From a designer's perspective, it seemed like a fun idea." - (Haruki Suetsugu)[1]
