List Of Mega Man Characters (X Series)This is a list of characters for the Mega Man X series. Japanese names are listed first. English names are listed second, if applicable. - A researcher and colleague of Gate. She is a navigator and programmer for the Maverick Hunters. She is considered to be the counterpart of X and she shares his abilties as a hidden playable character in X8.
- Member of the X Hunters. He is a purple armored swordsman. There is some speculation that it is he who gave Zero his beam saber.
- A relatively new character, he used to be a member of the Red Alert Syndicate; a group of unofficial Maverick hunters consisting mostly of bounty hunters and criminals. He leaves the group wishing to become a true Maverick Hunter. Axl has the ability to absorb the DNA data of other reploids. This allows him to copy an enemy's power and form. Because of this he is a target for Sigma who wishes to use Axl's stored DNA data to increase his own power.
- A member of the Nightmare Police working under Dr. Doppler. Works with Byte. Destroyed in the Doppler Incident.
- Another member of the Nightmare Police. Works with Bit. Destroyed in the Doppler Incident.
- An archaeologist who discovered X in a forgotten capsule. Upon finding X he copied X's plans to create many hundreds of X replications (Reploids). However these Reploids were badly built (as Cain was an archaeologist rather than a robotics expert) and did not have their systems scanned for flaws as X himself did. This lack of scanning was thought to be the source of the Maverick condition for the first three games. In addition, Cain is the human leader of the Maverick Hunters for the first three games. His whereabouts are currently unknown as he has not appeared since X3. It is mostly thought that he died of old age sometime in between X3 and 4.
- Youngest high ranking officer in the Repliforce. He had a friendship/rivalship with Zero. When the Repliforce War started, he actively fought against X and Zero. Eventually destroyed by Zero. He is the brother of Iris.
- A short, obese reploid who appears at the beginning of X4 and says that he is assigned to be X's assistant. He helps X out through most of his fights and appears to be kind but a little bumbling. He even appears to be truly concerned about X's safety. However Double is revealed during the final levels to be spy for Sigma. He transforms into his second form, which has been called Jello Man due to the gelatinous appearance of his limbs, and confronts X. He reveals the mild mannered Double to be a farce and shows himself to be truly violent, he taunts X as to how he wants to destroy him. When X finally finishes him off, Double's final words are that he would see X in Hell.
- A reploid hired by Sigma to help spread the Sigma Virus, Dynamo often appears just to slow things down for the Hunters. He does not appear to be a Maverick. It is generally thought that Dynamo does everything for his own reasons and will work for either Maverick Hunters or Mavericks if it suits his purpose. He was destroyed the Eurasia Space Colony to spread the Colony Virus. In X6, Dynamo appears as a hidden mini-boss. His main goal appears to be to collect the nightmare souls which will allow him to increase his power.
- A "reploid scientist", Doppler became corrupted with the Sigma Virus and eventually became a Maverick. Created a partially successful antiprogram against the Maverick Virus.
- A reploid scientist who is a friend of Alia. He has created several other reploids, all of which were unequalled in their fields. However, his creations, much like Gate himself, either had bad luck, or a certain disregard for authority. Those reploids of his that didn't break the law directly ended up doing so through no fault of their own. This lead to all of his creations being terminated. Highly distressed from this, Gate goes to explore a ruin. Inside he finds a piece of Zero. Zero's DNA causes him to go insane, however it also gives him incredible power and allows him to resurrect his creations. Gate is the villain for Mega Man X6. He is heavily damaged by Sigma near the end of the game and is said to still be alive but in a vegetable state. Alia is currently working on bringing him back.
- Leader of the Repliforce. When Sky Lagoon was destroyed, the Maverick Hunters accused the Repliforce of being Mavericks. He declared war against the Maverick Hunters and started the Repliforce War. Destroyed by Megaman X and Zero.
- Colonel's sister reploid and member of the Repliforce. She also has strong feelings for Zero and works as his assistant through most of the Repliforce incident. She did not agree with the war declared by General and tried to stay out of the war. With the death of her brother Colonel at the hands of Zero, she became enraged at Zero and tried to kill him. Zero ended up destroying her. She died in his arms saying that she just wanted to live in peace with him. This incident seems to have had an impact on Zero. In the end events of X5 Zero sees a memory of Iris while he is dying and asks for her forgiveness.
- A navigator introduced in X8. She is an expert in analyzing enemy data and finding boss weaknesses. She is most useful in helping players defeat difficult enemies. She is considered to the counterpart of Zero and is shown to have an apparent crush on him. Zero appear to be subtly returning her feelings and asks her to be his personal navigator. She shares his abilities as a hidden playable character in X8.
- Lumine is the same breed of reploid as Axl in that his powers and abilities are centered around his copy chip. However he refers to Axl as being only a prototype. Lumine calls all reploids with copy chips "New Generation" reploids. It is revealed that all reploids with working chips are immune to viruses of all kinds and thus cannot become Maverick. However, he later says that since the copy chips are created by combining the DNA of nearly all reploids in existence, including Sigma, all New Generation Reploids can go Maverick at will. He is the director of the Jakob Project (the name for the creation of a giant space elevator used to transport humans to the moon) and the leader of all the New Generation reploids. He is the villain of X8 and marks the first time in the series where the final boss of the game is not Sigma.
- After a first boss fight against Sigma, Lumine reveals himself to be the true villain of the game and finishes Sigma off himself (though it is still uncertain if Sigma is merely damaged or truly dead). At first, Lumine's abilties appear to be centered solely around the strongest abilties of the bosses of the game. However, after being beaten he takes on a second form that bears a striking resemblance to Copy X of the Zero series. This leads to the belief that the Copy X of the Zero series is in fact some form of New Generation reploid with a copy chip.
- After being defeated a second time, Lumine falls to the ground. Axl aproaches him only to be attacked and damaged by a seemingly organic tentacle that bursts from Lumine. Lumine is then totally destroyed by the combined attacks of X and Zero. At the end of the game the player can see that Axl, being carried home in X's arms, is having nightmares and a close up of the core gem on his forehead shows that a part of Lumine has apparently infected him. This and the fact that the player, by getting all of Axl's abilties, may unlock a new more powerful version of Axl which features evil red eyes along with armor and hair that match the color of Lumines seems to foreshadow the next episode of the X series.
- A navigator introduced in X8. She is an expert at analyzing map data and finding new routes thru stages. She is most helpful in finding hidden passages and routes for the player. She is considered to be the counterpart of Axl and shares his abilties as a hidden playable character in X8.
- The leader of the Red Alert Syndicate. He is a paternal figure to Axl but does not approve of his leaving the syndicate. Red appears to be a true Maverick Hunter at heart. However he shows that he is more accepting than the usual Hunters since he allows criminals and bounty hunters to join Red Alert. This has made his organization disreputable and more or less at ends with Hunters.
- When Sigma manipulates Red all through X7 with promises of increased power for the syndicate reploids and help in recovering Axl. Red finds out too late that Sigma wants Axl to increase his own power and by then all of the syndicates members have indeed had their powers increased but are now brainwashes in service to Sigma. Red is forced to go along with Sigma's plans or risk his subordinates being harmed. He confronts Zero, X, and Axl and is heavily damaged. He sacrifices himself to save Axl from Sigma.
- Current leader of the Elite 17th Unit of the Maverick Hunters. The hero of the series, he was created by Dr. Light as the first robot with the ability to "think". Most of the Maverick Hunters simply call him X. He joined the Maverick Hunters after Sigma went Maverick.
- He has as dislike for violence and wishes he did not have to resort to violence. His determination to fight or not fight seems to fluctuate. In X7 he adamantly refuses to fight until certain game requirements are met, however in X8 he seems to shrug of his convictions and jumps right into the fray with Zero and Axl. X seems to have a dislike for Axl and does not want him to be a hunter.
- Leader of the X Hunters. He appears to be a small old man. His fighting techniques seem to focus mostly on defense and the use of advanced weapons showing that, while intelligent, he is not a battle machine.
- Original leader of the Maverick Hunters. Designed by Cain to be the perfect Reploid, Sigma was implemented with devices to protect him from turning Maverick. These devices failed and Sigma ended up as the leader of the Mavericks. Later it is discovered that Sigma's turning Maverick is due to his defeating Zero, upon which the virus switched carriers from Zero to Sigma.
- Over time the Maverick Virus has apparently fused with his mind, making the virus and Sigma somewhat the same entity. This is most likely how Sigma keeps surviving. Sigma has a habit of fighting first in his normal body, which the player must then destroy. At that point he then switches over to a much more powerful body that is hidden in the background. As such "pulling a Sigma" is a sometimes used video game jargon used to refer to someone who is defeated and then comes back a moment later fully healed and more powerful then they were before through some means.
- Former member of the Elite 17th unit of the Maverick Hunters. He was known for being extremely violent and was confined at one point. During the first major maverick revolt, Sigma released him, and he became Sigma's right hand man. It is not known if Vile was infected by the Maverick Virus, as his violent nature and desire to destroy X and Zero seems to overweigh his desire to kill humans.
- Vile was destroyed by X and Zero in the first game and brought back by Doplar in X3 where he was destroyed a second time by X. He was brought back yet again in X8 and destroyed by X, Zero, and Axl. Due to the fact that he did not change forms to a New Generation reploid at his death, it appears that the Vile of X8 is the original and thus puts him in second place for deaths/resurrections in the series, with Sigma having the most by far and with Zero as a close third.
- Member of the X Hunters. Takes the form of a giant gorilla and fights using a ball and chain. He is incredibly powerful but apparently lacking in brains.
- Current leader of the Stealth 0th Unit of the Maverick Hunters. X's greatest ally and is his only equal. Most evidence seems to point out the he is the last creation of Dr. Wily. He joined the Maverick Hunters after Sigma defeated him in battle. Before then, he was in a rampage, killing Gamma's unit of the Maverick Hunters.
- It is believed that he was the first carrier of the virus which over time became the Maverick virus. Despite his being often shown as the loner of the series he actually seems to take a liking to Axl and treats him in ways that seem to almost be paternal. Unlike X Zero has no qualms about letting Axl join the hunters.
