Classic Mega Man characters
[edit]Main characters
[edit]Mega Man
[edit]DLN-001 Mega Man, known in Japan as Rockman (ロックマン, Rokkuman) is the protagonist of the original Mega Man series. Dr. Light originally created him to be a lab assistant named Rock, but he was modified for combat after Dr. Wily reprogrammed the original Robot Masters to take over the world. His Variable Weapons System allows him to copy the weapons of other Robot Masters and use them as his own.
Dr. Light
[edit]Doctor Thomas Light, known in Japan as Doctor Thomas Right (トーマス・ライト, Tōmasu Raito), is a scientist and roboticist and the creator of Mega Man and several other robots; as such, he can be considered the father of Mega Man, Roll, and Proto Man. Despite being a pacifist, he reluctantly recognizes that using force can sometimes be necessary. He plays a supporting role throughout the series, often developing and distributing new gear. He died prior to the events of the Mega Man X series, which is set 100 years after the original series, but his legacy continues through his last creation, X, and he maintains a supporting role through enhancement capsules that contain upgrades to X's systems along with messages relayed by holographic projections of him. He also appears in the "Navi Mode" of Mega Man and Mega Man 6 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection to provide gameplay hints to Mega Man.
He is voiced by Antony Holland in Captain N: The Game Master, Jim Byrnes in the 90s TV series, Randall Wiebe in Mega Man X8,[1] Mega Man Maverick Hunter X,[2] and Mega Man Powered Up,[3] Michael Mislove in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Doug Stone in Mega Man 11,[4] and Garry Chalk in Mega Man: Fully Charged.
Dr. Wily
[edit]Doctor Albert W. Wily (Dr.ワイリー, Dokutā Wairī) is a mad scientist and the main antagonist of the series. He was Dr. Light's colleague when they were university students; driven by jealousy towards Light and his achievements overshadowing his own, he reprogrammed Light's robots, except for Rock and Roll, to assist him in taking over the world. However, Rock, who was upgraded and became known as Mega Man, defeated him. Wily returns as antagonist in subsequent titles of the main series,[5] each time with a different scheme,[6] only to ultimately be defeated and surrender to Mega Man.[7]
Wily has also played a major role in the backgrounds of other characters in the series. He repaired the prototype for Mega Man, Proto Man, and in Mega Man 7 used the knowledge he gained from the process to create his answer to Light's work, Bass. After Bass proved to be unreliable, Wily refined his design, creating Zero,[8] who, in the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero games, is a hero working alongside Light's last creation, X. Though Wily died prior to the events of the Mega Man X series, his legacy continues through a virus which Zero initially carries and is later transferred to Sigma, resulting in the creation of the Sigma Virus and most of the Mavericks.[9]
According to artist and producer Keiji Inafune, Wily's name and design are inspired by Albert Einstein, and he was initially conceived to appear as a tall, thin scientist with a mustache, glasses, balding hair, and lab coat.[10] As development on Mega Man progressed, Inafune redrew Wily to match the in-game sprites, making him shorter and removing the glasses from his design.[11] Inafune has expressed disdain for this design, stating in a 2003 interview that if an artist approached him with similar work, he would reject it and demand better.[12] With the production of Mega Man 2, Inafune decided to redraw Wily's design completely, aiming to tie into the common perception of a mad scientist. After making his design slightly taller and with elongated hair and chin, Inafune was satisfied with the alternations and kept the design consistent for later appearances of the character.[13] Since the beginning of the Mega Man X series, Inafune wanted to add Dr. Wily to the story, leading to Mega Man X4 revealing that he created Zero to set the climax of the series. Wily often is shown moving his eyebrows up and down when he appears in most of the games, usually seen in the prologue cutscenes to the castle levels.[14]
GamesRadar praised that "Dr. Wily brings a certain flair to his evil schemes".[15] IGN praised Dr. Wily as a "hopelessly persistent" video game villain, who returned despite his failure at the ending of each Mega Man game, concluding that "in a realm dominated by forgettable villains, Dr. Wily's staying power is a true testament to both his fictional tenacity and his popularity amongst gamers since the 8-bit days of the 1980s."[16] Destructoid editor Chris Carter attributed the appeal of the character in part to the recurring grovelling of Dr. Wily after each defeat, allowing the player to "revel in your enemy's defeat", and considered this trait "as iconic as it is an in-joke".[17]
Proto Man
[edit]DLN-000 Proto Man, known in Japan as Blues (ブルース, Burūsu), is an early prototype of Mega Man and his twelve-thirteen older teenage brother, who first appeared in Mega Man 3 under the name Break Man to help train Mega Man by fighting him. Beyond their armor and personality, Proto Man and Mega Man are supposedly identical. However, at the end of Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Dr. Light reveals that Proto Man's energy system has a fatal defect, causing him great pain and shortening his lifespan. He also appears in the "Navi Mode" of Mega Man 3 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection to provide gameplay hints to Mega Man.
Character designer Keiji Inafune stated that "We wanted people to be unsure whether Proto Man was a friend or a foe. On one hand, he'd seem like a rival to Mega Man, but at the same time he'd seem like a comrade."[18] Several anime characters Inafune used to watch inspired Proto Man, with the glow from his eyes being inspired by Break Man.[19] The design also involved his shield being a "cool factor" and a sign of his superiority over Mega Man.[20] Higurashi considers Proto Man and Rush to be the main attractions of Mega Man 3, while Hideki considers Mega Man 5 as a "Blue"'s Trap, resulting in major focus when making illustrations focusing on him.[21] For Mega Man 8, Kaji had difficulties in making the illustrations, leading Inafune to revise the ones from Proto Man.[22]
The absence of Proto Man in Mega Man 11 has been criticized.[23][24][25] Mega Man 11 producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya explained his exclusion in the game, stating that "What we struggled with the most was how to develop a clear and engaging story that builds upon the previous installments while appealing to a wide range of players; new players picking up a Mega Man game for the first time, those who may have forgotten the series' backstory, and the hardcore fans who remember the events of 9 and 10 as though they happened yesterday. After the long gap between 10 and 11, we decided to focus on sharing an untold story that touches on the past of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily."[26]
Bass
[edit]SWN-001 Bass, known in Japan as Forte (フォルテ, Forute), is a robot Dr. Wily designed, who was constructed based on research conducted on Mega Man with the intention of matching his power, being a more advanced model of Robot Master compared to Mega Man. He is powered by the energy Bassnium, the most powerful form of energy on Earth, which Wily discovered by mistake. He seeks to defeat Mega Man and be acknowledged as the world's strongest robot, and as such frequently rebels against Wily when he feels he is standing in the way of his goals. Despite this, Bass has worked with Mega Man several times, though usually for his own purposes.
Bass wields the Bass Buster, which originally functioned similarly to the Mega Buster, albeit with slightly different shots. As of Mega Man & Bass, however, it has lost its ability to charge shots in favor of an increased rate of fire and the ability to fire upwards and diagonally. Unlike the Mega Buster, its bullets do not travel through solid surfaces without an upgrade. Like Mega Man and Proto Man, Bass can also copy the weapons of Robot Masters, with his body changing colors to reflect the weapon currently equipped. He can also combine with his robotic wolf Treble (ゴスペル, Gosuperu, Gospel) for the Treble Boost, allowing him to fly and shoot more powerful projectiles from the Buster.
Save for a cameo showing a schematic of him, Bass does not appear in Mega Man 9. His absence is not explained in the game, but according to the booklet that came with the Rockman 9 Arranged Album, he was undergoing adjustments.[27] He is playable in Mega Man 10, being added through DLC, where he retains his dash and rapid-fire, multi-directional arm cannon.[28] In the game's re-release as part of Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Bass is instead unlocked by either completing the game or by using a secret code at the title screen.[29]
In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, where Zero makes a cameo appearance, Bass seeks to destroy him to prove that he is stronger than all other robots, as Wily says that he is a creation that could surpass him.
Roll
[edit]DLN-002 Roll (ロール, DRN-003 Rōru) is Mega Man's seven-eight younger "sister"; a female robot designed for housekeeping instead of fighting. She plays a supporting role in the first game and a more substantive role in subsequent sequels. Her name was never mentioned until Mega Man 3, which marks her return, where her entry in Dr. Light's robot list is shown during the ending. She also appears in the "Navi Mode" of Mega Man 2 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection to provide gameplay hints to Mega Man.
She is usually depicted with blonde hair worn in a ponytail and wearing a red outfit. In Mega Man 8, she wears a black and red dress with red boots and a green ribbon in her hair. Despite not being designed for fighting, she appears as a combatant in the fighting games Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, as well as in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars, and Mega Man Powered Up. Alternate versions of Roll appear in two other Mega Man spinoff series: Roll Caskett in Mega Man Legends, and Roll.EXE in Mega Man Battle Network. Roll also appears in other Mega Man media, including manga and Mega Man.
Roll has proved popular amongst fans, who have created various ROM hacks and fangames to place her in the main role as a female counterpart to Mega Man.[30][31][32] Theresa Romano from The Mary Sue said Roll had been the sole female robot in the franchise's universe to have made a lasting impression on the Mega Man fandom. She observed that Roll is notable for her constant character redesigns through the games or the animated series; for Romano, the most memorable iteration was the Ruby-Spears series version, whose arm could transform into different household appliances.[33] Joshua Scullin from University of Washington Tacoma saw Roll as a better female character than the ones featured from Nintendo Entertainment System games as she is not reward for the main character but instead a powerful character on her own. However, her weaponry was still called out for her distinctive weapon.[34] In Gaming Disability: Disability Perspectives on Contemporary Video Games, Roll is seen as a clean up messes in a more common approach to women in the 1980s in contrast to the heroic exploits of her brother, Mega Man.[35]
Rush
[edit]Rush (ラッシュ, Rasshu) is Mega Man's robotic dog, who Dr. Light created to be an all-around support unit and is first introduced in Mega Man 3. He can transform into various forms, including Rush Marine, which transforms him into a one-seated submarine, and Rush Jet, which transforms his legs into jet engines that allow him to fly. He also has the Rush Coil, a spring that pops out of his back and helps Mega Man reach higher platforms that he normally cannot access. Other games have him transform into a motorcycle and a drill car, and in the fourth and fifth Game Boy games as a spaceship. In later games, the Rush Adaptor allows Rush to attach himself to Mega Man, allowing him to float, shoot more powerful blasts, and launch his arms as projectiles. In some games, such as Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8, Rush can be used to obtain items, such as health. His name is derived from another Capcom game, The Speed Rumbler, which is known as Rush & Crash in Japan,[36] while the pronunciation of his name is similar to Lassie.[37]
Supporting characters
[edit]Auto
[edit]Auto, known as Rightot in Japan, is a robot that Dr. Light created to replace Rock's role as lab assistant due to him being unable to fulfill that role after becoming Mega Man. He is introduced in Mega Man 7, where he provides Mega Man with upgrades and parts. In Mega Man 8, Auto assists Mega Man in the Rush Jet scenes, using a rocket launcher and a propeller in his head that allows him to fly. He also appears in Mega Man & Bass, creating upgrades for the player in exchange for 'bolts' dropped by defeated enemies. He returns again in Mega Man 11 as Dr. Light's lab assistant, helping Mega Man by creating new parts for him from bolts collected from enemies. He, or a robot resembling him, makes a cameo appearance in CD versions of Mega Man X3, watching TV in the background of the FMV intro for Volt Catfish's stage, making him the only robot from the classic series to also appear in the X series.
Beat
[edit]Beat is a robotic bird that Dr. Cossack created to provide additional support to Mega Man during the events of Mega Man 5 and has since appeared in many Mega Man games. Several of the games require the player to obtain a certain number of Beat Plates in order to use him. Beat homes in on enemies, providing damage by slamming into them; however, in Mega Man 6, he does not attack bosses. In Mega Man 7, Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10 and Mega Man 11, he rescues Mega Man, as well as Proto Man in Mega Man 10, from pits. In Mega Man 8, he can assist Mega Man during the Rush Jet scenes, and also provides him with an energy barrier in Mega Man & Bass. He assists Duo and Proto Man as a temporary invincibility power-up in Power Fighters.
Dr. Cossack
[edit]Dr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack is a Russian colleague of Dr. Light, who appears in Mega Man 4 as the main antagonist. However, it is later revealed that he was being blackmailed, as Wily kidnapped his daughter Kalinka. After Proto rescues Kalinka and the truth is revealed, Dr. Cossack betrays Wily and becomes an ally to Mega Man. He is the inventor of Beat and the Super Mega Buster, as well as several industrial and military robots. He also appears in the "Navi Mode" of Mega Man 5 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection to provide gameplay hints to Mega Man.
Duo
[edit]Duo is a robot from outer space who was designed to preserve the universe's peace and justice. Duo was formally introduced in Mega Man 8, where he is battling a robot powered by Evil Energy. After crashing to Earth, Dr. Light repairs him and he becomes an ally of Mega Man. After eradicating the Evil Energy on Earth, he thanks Mega Man and departs Earth to resume his search. He later appears in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, which was released before Mega Man 8 but set after its events, as well as Mega Man Battle & Chase and Rockman Strategy.
Most of Duo's offensive abilities come from his left arm, which has a fist nearly as large as his torso, and his large spiked body. He primarily attacks by punching, though also wields projectile weapons, the most powerful of which is a blast in the shape of his own hand. He also appears to have the same weapon copying abilities as Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass; like them, his body changes color in accordance with the weapon he has equipped. Having been created for the purpose of destroying Evil Energy, he has the unique ability to purge it from an infected victim's body, as demonstrated when he saves Mega Man.
Eddie
[edit]Eddie, originally known as Flip Top in early Western manuals, is a robot that Dr. Light created as a "walking suitcase", who first appeared in Mega Man 4. He is usually sent to help Mega Man by providing recovery items, and can also fire bombs from his head while assisting Mega Man in the Rush Jet sections of Mega Man 8. Starting with Mega Man 7, Eddie only appears in the shop and no longer gives items to Mega Man.
Kalinka
[edit]Kalinka Cossack is Dr. Cossack's daughter, who Proto Man kidnapped on Dr. Wily's orders to force her father into unwillingly declaring war against Mega Man on Wily's behalf. However, Proto Man later rescues her before Mega Man confronts and defeats Cossack in his citadel. Kalinka also appears in the "Navi Mode" of Mega Man 4 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection to provide gameplay hints to Mega Man. She is named after the Russian folk song Kalinka.
King
[edit]King is a robot who appears in Mega Man and Bass as the apparent main antagonist. Declaring himself the king of all robots, he seeks to eradicate humanity and establish a world populated only by robots. After either Mega Man or Bass defeat him, it is revealed that Dr. Wily had programmed him to form a rebellion. While King seemingly dies after this revelation, during Mega Man's ending it is revealed that he survived and is now a wanderer, like Proto Man. He then apologizes for his actions and wishes to meet up with Mega Man peacefully.
King wields several weapons, including a battle-axe and a shield which can absorb attacks and fire them back as a laser beam. He also has the ability to merge with other vehicles to form King Jet Robo and King Tank Robo, the penultimate bosses of the game.
Tango
[edit]Tango (タンゴ) is a green robotic cat and one of Mega Man's allies. Tango can roll himself into a buzzsaw and dive into enemies until all in-area enemies are defeated, he falls into a pit or spikes, or his energy is expended. He appears in Mega Man V, Rockman & Forte Mirai kara no Chōsensha, and as a cameo in Mega Man 10 in the item shop when playing as Proto Man. His name is derived from the music genre tango.
Reggae
[edit]Reggae is a robotic bird and Dr. Wily's pet, who appears in a Japan-exclusive drama CD, Wily & Right no RockBoard: That's Paradise, and in Rockman & Forte: Challenger From the Future as a weapon for Bass. His first appearance outside Japan is in Mega Man 7, where he appears if an invalid password is entered.[38] He also appears in Mega Man 10 as shopkeeper when playing as Bass. In Archie Comics' adaptation of Mega Man, he has a more prominent role, usually mocking Dr. Wily's failures in the "Short Circuits" section. His name is derived from the music genre reggae.
Treble
[edit]Treble (ゴスペル, Gosuperu, Gospel) is Bass' equivalent to Rush, who, like Rush, can assume a jet-like form and fly in the form of an armored suit called the Treble Boost,[39] which was created after Bass stole designs for the Super Adapter in Mega Man 7 and gives Bass limited flight capability and increased firepower. It also appears in Mega Man & Bass, where it also grants Bass invulnerability while its energy lasts, and in Mega Man 10, where it functions similarly to its previous incarnation, but without invulnerability. Its Japanese name of Gospel is likely derived from the musical genre gospel.[40]
Met
[edit]The Met, also known as Hard Hat, is a construction robot wearing a hard hat with a plus sign on it. Mets usually wait below their helmet before attacking, as it is impervious to most of Mega Man's weapons. They appear in the various series with many different variations and forms, such as the Metall, Mettool, and Mettaur variants, but their look has largely remained the same. In the original Mega Man, another common enemy, the Picket Man, has a head similar to the Met, but with a full body, a shield, and a pickaxe. The Mets also appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as a collectable trophy in both versions, as well as enemies in the 3DS-exclusive Smash Run mode.
Sniper Joe
[edit]Sniper Joe is a humanoid robot which Dr. Light built and which Dr. Wily later modified for infantry. They were built based on Proto Man and mass-produced for combat. Sniper Joes are a recurring enemy throughout the classic series, and most variants often operate machines such as walkers, gun turrets, jet skis, and helicopters. They wear a black visor and have a single red eye.
Yellow Devil
[edit]The Yellow Devil is a powerful combat robot which Dr. Wily created. Its body is made from a shape-memory alloy, allowing it to split into multiple pieces and reform elsewhere. At the center of its body is a single mechanical eye, which keeps the body together and is its sole weakness. The Yellow Devil is a recurring boss character throughout the series, with several successors and offshoots appearing in other games, such as the Yellow Devil MK-II in Mega Man 3, the Green Devil in Mega Man 8, and the Block Devil in Mega Man 10. Variants also appear in other series, including the Shadow Devil in Mega Man X5 and the Rainbow Devil in Mega Man Zero.
Early Western media referred to the Yellow Devil as the "Rock Monster", a change made due to Nintendo's policies regarding religious figures and names. However, the "Devil" name has since been used in recent American releases. The Mega Man/Sonic the Hedgehog crossover produced by Archie Comics featured the Chaos Devil, a being combining the Yellow Devil with Chaos.
Mega Man Killers
[edit]The Mega Man Killers are a series of robots appearing in the Game Boy series, which Dr. Wily created to destroy Mega Man. They reappear as bosses in the Game Boy version of Mega Man V, as well as bosses in the DLC stages of Mega Man 10. They are named after notable music genres.

Robot Masters
[edit]Robot Masters are a special kind of robot mainly under Dr. Wily's control which possess advanced artificial intelligence. The system is jointly credited to Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, and most Robot Masters possess a unique identification code, consisting of a two-letter "series code" followed by one of N, No, or #, then a three-digit "serial number". They are generally humanoid in appearance, and often designed with specific purposes and human-like personalities and quirks. The list below is of the first six Robot Masters that Dr. Light built and Dr. Wily later reprogrammed, as well as two more that were added to Mega Man Powered Up to be consistent with other games.

Mega Man X characters
[edit]The following is a list of recurring characters appearing in the Mega Man X series. Unless otherwise stated, each of these characters is a reploid; an artificially intelligent android. Names are organized in order of appearance, and characters who only appear in a single game are covered in the article for their corresponding game.
Maverick Hunters
[edit]The Maverick Hunters, known as Irregular Hunters (イレギュラーハンター, Iregyurā Hantā) are a group of Reploids who protect humans and other Reploids from Mavericks and are the heroes of the Mega Man X series, with its protagonists being prominent Maverick Hunters. When they are introduced in Mega Man X, they have existed for some time, having been founded by Dr. Cain, who has since retired. From Mega Man X onward, they battle Sigma and the other Mavericks.
X
[edit]X is the protagonist of the Mega Man X series. Dr. Light created him, but feared the ramifications of giving robots free will and so chose to seal him inside a capsule for 30 years to test the integrity and reliability of his systems.[46] Dr. Light died before X's diagnostics were complete, and 100 years later another scientist, Dr. Cain, discovered his capsule and attempted to emulate his technology. With X's help, Cain developed the first mass-produced Reploids: humanoid androids based upon X's designs.
Zero
[edit]Originally intended to be the protagonist of Mega Man X,[47] he was recast as X's mentor and partner in favor of an X who looked "more like Mega Man". He is a top-class Maverick Hunter who undergoes inner turmoil over his mysterious past and purpose, which he seems to see glimpses of in nightmares, and the fact that the Virus does not affect him like it does with other reploids, who become Mavericks.
Axl
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Lenne Hardt (X7);[48] Jeffrey Watson (X8)[1]
Voiced by (Japanese): Minami Takayama[48][49][50]
Axl (アクセル, Akuseru) is a black and red-armored reploid with an X-shaped scar above his nose who wields a pair of handheld blaster pistols. He first appears in Mega Man X7, where he displays an ability called A-Trans, which allows him to take on the appearance and abilities of any reploid he defeats which matches his size, allowing him to explore normally inaccessible areas. He also has the ability to hover in midair and roll through enemy shots. While his gameplay style was originally similar to X, Mega Man X8 reworked his gameplay to give him a distinctive fighting style. His shots are now rapid-fire abilities and can fire in any direction, and instead of copying the Maverick weapons like X, he instead gains a new type of gun for each boss he defeats, which have unlimited ammo and can be fired either multi-directional or rapid-fire. While overall the weakest in power, Axl's fighting style relies more on speed compared to X's powerful but slower charge shots and Zero's swordplay.
Dr. Cain
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Michael Shepherd[2]
Voiced by (Japanese): Tadashi Miyazawa[51]
Dr. Cain is a human archaeologist and robot expert, who serves as a supporting character throughout the Mega Man X games. He discovered the dormant X in the ruins of Dr. Light's lab, and soon after invented Reploids, sapient robots based on X's design, with the most notable being Sigma. Sigma, being the most advanced robot at the time, became the head of the Maverick Hunters, a group of reploids dedicated to destroying reploids that violate the three rules of robotics.
Iris
[edit]- Voiced by (Japanese): Yūko Mizutani (PXZ);[52] Aya Endō (X DiVE–present)[53][54]
Repliforce scientists created Iris alongside her brother Colonel as one half of the "Perfect Soldier program", with Colonel being the other half. She was compassionate and peaceful, while Colonel was a strong-willed Reploid warrior. Repliforce scientists struggled to make these two factors into one Reploid, and because the differences were irreconcilable, they split them into brother and sister Reploids.
In Mega Man X4, Iris is one of the two characters alongside Double who can only be fought depending on whether the player chooses Zero or X.
Alia
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Rumiko Varnes (X7);[48] Marriete Sluyter (X8)[1]
Voiced by (Japanese): Rumi Kasahara[48][49]
Alia acts as a Navigator for the Maverick Hunters in Mega Man X5 and onwards. She began her career as a researcher in Reploid engineering alongside her colleague Gate, whom she was said to have feelings for. They were ahead of their time in their research on Reploids, though she contends that Gate was a better programmer than she was. However, Gate's inability to follow the rules made him a social outcast, and his creations were systematically destroyed, sometimes with Alia's assistance. She soon mastered programming languages and was chosen to be a spotter for the Hunters. In Mega Man X5, Alia served as the Hunters' spotter during the Sigma Virus outbreak, while lending her technical talents to the cause by uploading and letting X utilize the Falcon and Gaea armor.
Layer
[edit]Layer is a navigator alongside Alia and Pallette in X8, with her high processing power allowing her to quickly determine enemy abilities. For the most part, Layer appears to be the oldest navigator and is calm and collected. However, she seems to show more concern for Zero, even blushing when talking to him. Palette's comment on how she "waited the whole time for him" seemingly implies that she has a crush on him.[55] Layer is also a secret unlockable character in the game, and has gameplay similar to Zero's. She wields her own sword weapon, the "Layer Rapier", allowing her to use the same abilities as Zero, but cannot use his "Black Armor".
Pallette
[edit]Pallette is another navigator alongside Alia and Layer in X8 who excels at finding hidden routes at facilities, allowing X to find Dr. Light's armor capsules. She appears to be the most playful of the navigators and hates being ignored. Pallette is also an unlockable character in the game, taking after Axl's playstyle but being unable to use Axl's copy ability.
Douglas
[edit]Douglas is a mechanic for the Maverick Hunters. In Mega Man X5, he constructs modules for X and Zero and reinforces the Enigma Cannon and Space Shuttle with parts they gather from the Mavericks. During the Nightmare outbreak in X6, Douglas helps X and Zero by refining modules for them.
Signas
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Robert Belgrade (X7);[48] Roger Rhodes (X8)[1]
Voiced by (Japanese): Hirotaka Suzuoki (X7);[48] Tsuneyoshi Iwatsuru (X8)[49]
Signas is the newest leader and commander of the Maverick Hunters, who is introduced in X5. He was originally a private investigator before being assigned to the Maverick Hunters, commanding missions and overseeing major operations. He is loyal to both humans and Reploids and is determined to ensure that all Mavericks are eliminated. He has the most advanced CPU of the current Reploids.

Mavericks
[edit]Mavericks, known as Irregulars (イレギュラー, Iregyurā) in Japan, are Reploids who have turned against humans, usually violently. Reploids can become Mavericks for a variety of reasons, such as a virus or their own free will. As the chronology of the Mega Man franchise progresses, the term "Maverick" comes to mean any individual or creature, human or Reploid, that presents a threat to civilization or those in power.
Sigma
[edit]Sigma (シグマ, Shiguma) is the primary antagonist of the Mega Man X series, who Dr. Cain considered to be the finest reploid of the time, with circuitry designs meant to prevent him from becoming a Maverick. He was once the leader of the Maverick Hunters, but during a mission, he came into contact with Zero, who at the time was rampaging after falling under the influence of the Zero Virus.
Prior to the first Mega Man X game, Sigma was the most advanced Reploid of his time and the leader of the Maverick Hunters. However, one day, the Maverick Hunters received reports of a powerful "Red Maverick" that had destroyed an entire squadron of Hunters. While investigating, Sigma and his unit tracked it down to an abandoned laboratory and learned that it was Zero, an evil robot that Dr. Wily created which carried the Maverick Virus. After Sigma defeated Zero, the virus was inadvertently transferred into him. While the virus was purged from Zero, turning him benevolent, the virus adapted to Sigma, becoming the Sigma Virus.
After gradually succumbing to the virus, he suddenly led a mass revolt among the Reploids, declaring total war on humans.[56] Many Maverick Hunters chose to follow Sigma out of loyalty, leaving Zero in charge of the organization. X, the last creation of Dr. Light and the base model for the Reploids, decided to volunteer and joined Zero. X and Zero battle through the Maverick regime, and ultimately X destroys Sigma; however, while his physical body is scrapped, his "soul", the Virus, survives. After the end credits, Sigma's face appears on a blue monitor and warns X that he will be back.[57]
Sigma returns in each installment of the series in various forms, but X defeats him each time. His final appearance is in Mega Man X8, where he is finally destroyed for good. However, the Sigma Virus remains, prompting the events of the Mega Man Zero series.
Sigma appears in the crossover game Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. In the story mode, he merges with Ultron to become "Ultron Sigma" to convert the inhabitants of both worlds into their slaves.[58] Sigma as a playable character is available for purchase as standalone downloadable content or as part of the game's character pass.[59]
Sigma was referenced in an episode of the 1994 cartoon, where X, Vile, and Spark Mandrill travel back in time, with his name being spelled as Cigma. He also appears in a short unlockable OVA in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, "The Day of Σ", which depicts the Maverick Hunters prior to the events of the first Mega Man X game under Sigma's command, prior to his revolt.
Vile
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Roger Rhodes[2]
Voiced by (Japanese): Mugihito[49][51]
Vile, known as VAVA (ヴァヴァ) in Japanese, is a recurring major villain in the Mega Man X series, who frequently reappears as a mid-game boss. He is first introduced in Mega Man X, where he is a former Maverick Hunter now serving Sigma as his right-hand man.
X-Hunters
[edit]The X-Hunters, known as the Counter Hunters (カウンターハンター, Kauntā Hantā) in Japan, are a group of three Mavericks formed to counter the Maverick Hunters and destroy X, who serve as the main antagonists of Mega Man X2. Its members are Violen (バイオレン, Baioren), the muscle and enforcer, Serges, known as Sagesse (サーゲス, Sāgesu) in Japan, the brains and scientist, and Agile (アジール, Ajīru), the speed and military strategist. They are among the few remaining followers in the Maverick rebellion and led a rebellion of their own after Sigma's death and took over the North Pole. They were also in possession of Zero's parts, which was part of their Unification Plan to rebuild him as a Maverick, and challenge X in a duel for the parts after some of their Mavericks are defeated. Each member is found in a secret area of a stage and will move to another stage. After X defeats them and recovers the three parts, he has a final battle with them at their lair and destroys them, eventually confronting a newly revived Sigma.
Dr. Doppler
[edit]Dr. Doppler (Ｄｒ．ドップラー, Doppurā) is the main antagonist of Mega Man X3. He is a Reploid researcher who was friends with Dr. Cain and supposedly discovered a cure for Maverick Reploids, founding a city, Dopple Town, in honor of it. When the supposedly cured reploids began causing riots in Dopple Town, the Maverick Hunters held Doppler accountable. After X and Zero defeas him, Doppler reveals that the viral form of Sigma corrupted him and ordered him to create a new body for him. Eventually, Zero learns that Dr. Doppler has the true antivirus and applies it to his Z-Saber to finish off Sigma and allow him and X himself to escape from Doppler's exploding laboratory. Alternatively, if Zero is injured, Dr. Doppler uses his body as the true antivirus and sacrifices himself.
Nightmare Police
[edit]The Nightmare Police (ナイトメアポリス, Naitomea Porisu) is a duo of Reploids who Dr. Doppler enlisted as law enforcement in Dopple Town to protect it before the uprising and joining his army, consisting of Bit, known as Vajurila FF (ヴァジュリーラＦＦ, Vajurīra FF) in Japan, the faster of the two, and Byte, known as Mandarela BB (マンダレーラＢＢ, Mandarēra BB) in Japan, the stronger of the two. They are found and fought in the eight stages of Mega Man X3, where Doppler sends them to destroy X and Zero. If at least one of them is defeated but not destroyed, they combine to form Godkarmachine O Inary (ゴッドカルマシーン・Ｏ・イナリー, Goddokarumashīn O Inarī) in the first stage of Doppler's fortress, which is an upgrade received from Doppler after their first defeat.
Double
[edit]Double (ダブル, Daburu) is a supporting character in Mega Man X4. He befriends X during his mission and acts as his mission operator, but as X heads to the Final Weapon, Double reveals his true purpose as a spy Sigma sent to infiltrate the Maverick Hunters and unveils his true personality as a combat-loving sadist, cruelly taunting X about his naivety when defeated. After defeating some Maverick Hunters in their headquarters, Double pursues X inside the Final Weapon and reveals his true form to him, causing X to realize he was betrayed and confront and destroy him in combat.

Gate
[edit]Gate (ゲイト, Geito) is the main antagonist of Mega Man X6. He is a researcher who formerly worked with Alia and possessed knowledge far ahead of his peers. He was eventually exiled from the research community when his colleagues, including Alia, conspired to destroy his Reploids out of fear for their power and inability to be analyzed. Following the crash of Eurasia, Gate discovered a piece of Zero's DNA and became infected by traces of the Maverick virus within it. Obsessed with building his own utopia for only the most supreme Reploids, Gate created the Nightmare Virus and the Zero Nightmare, a clone of Zero, to instill fear in the population, then revived his Reploids as the "Nightmare Investigators", supposedly to protect them, but in reality to lead them to their deaths.
Isoc
[edit]Isoc is Gate's chief assistant, who appears in Mega Man X6. He is first seen giving a rousing speech to the Reploids and recruiting them as Nightmare Investigators. His true goal is to observe the effects of the Nightmare Virus and report them to Gate for further refinements. Isoc also shows an obsession with Zero, claiming that he knows everything about him.
High Max
[edit]High Max, known as HI-MAX (ハイマックス, Hai Makkusu) in Japan, is an antagonist in Mega Man X6. He was created by Gate as the ultimate Reploid, using DNA taken from Zero to make him powerful and resistant to damage. As the leader of the Nightmare Investigators, High Max is assigned with seeking out and destroying the Zero Nightmare as part of Gate's farce to lead the "low-grade" Reploids to their deaths.

Protagonists
[edit]Lan Hikari
[edit]Lan Hikari (光 熱斗, Hikari Netto), is a fifth-grade student who has a strong bond with his NetNavi, MegaMan. He is the son of Yuichiro Hikari and Haruka Hikari and the grandson of Tadashi Hikari. He had a twin brother, Hub Hikari, who died when they were young, and it is later revealed that MegaMan.EXE is Hub reincarnated as data.

He is voiced by Alex Doduk and Brad Swaile[60][61][62] in the English version of the anime, Mark Gatha in the English version of Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team DS[63] and Kumiko Higa in Japanese.[64]
Lan is a carefree boy who seeks adventure and fun and can be rash at times, but is also quick to notice small details and think calmly during situations. He frequently NetBattles, and is known to be dense about things unrelated to the Net. Despite his seemingly carefree attitude, Lan is always quick to do the right thing. He is talented on inline skates and commonly decorates his room with soccer-related things.

When ShadeMan, leader of the Darkloids, becomes suspicious of humans, LaserMan attacks him and he is forced to flee. Dr. Regal later uses Regal Tower to create a worldwide Dimensional Area. After deleting ShadeMan, the now-Cross Fused Dr. Regal moves to destroy SciLab,[67] but Lan and MegaMan use "Full Synchro" to badly damage him. Rockman EXE: Program of Light and Dark reveals that he has become fragmented data. He fuses with Nebula Grey in an attempt to use the "Spectrum" phenomenon to gain access to and eventually destroy the real world. After MegaMan and Bass defeat him, he reappears in Stream, using the Crests of Duo to obtain power. However, Duo destroys him for good.
In the manga, Dr. Regal first appears in volume 10 of the Mega Man NT Warrior manga as the weapon development director for Netopia. It is later revealed that he is behind the Darkloids in the Netopia Net Army and that he seeks MegaMan's ability to merge with Bass to make Nebula Grey even more powerful. However, MegaMan destroys Nebula Grey using Beast Out, and Bass then destroys Dr. Regal's submarine, killing him.
Dr. Regal is voiced by Kazuhiro Nakata in Japanese and Trevor Devall in English.
Darkloids
[edit]The Darkloids are a group of solo Navis addicted to DarkChips. They are Nebula operatives in the games, while they are an independent group that collaborates with the organization in the anime.
- ShadeMan.EXE is a vampire bat-themed Navi that appears in Battle Network 4 and Battle Network 5. Near the beginning of Battle Network 4, he kidnaps Roll to devour her energy. MegaMan attempts to battle him, but cannot hit him due to his "Dark Power." ShadeMan leaves, but not before dropping a DarkChip which MegaMan later uses to defeat Shademan. In an optional side quest, Solar Boy Django and MegaMan use the PileDriver in an attempt to delete him for good. He returns in Battle Network 5 as one of the Darkloids that have taken over Cyberworld, controllingOran Island's network. In the anime, he is the leader of the Darkloids. After discovering that the DarkChips will eventually delete any Navi that uses them, ShadeMan unsuccessfully attempts to kill Regal. LaserMan takes ShadeMan's position as the leader of the Darkloids, and ShadeMan is later deleted by a Cross Fused Dr. Regal. ShadeMan.EXE is voiced by Hidetoshi Nakamura in Japanese and Scott McNeil in English.

Duo.EXE
[edit]Duo (デューオ, Dyūo) is a mysterious being from outer space, who in Mega Man Battle Network 4 and Rockman EXE Stream seeks to "cleanse" Earth of evil.
In the games, Duo is the operating system of an asteroid set to destroy Earth. He was attracted to Earth by the spread of Dark Chips, which Nebula had instigated. After Dr. Regal sabotages NAXA's attempts to divert the asteroid, he sends LaserMan in an attempt to control it, but MegaMan deletes him. Duo then appears before MegaMan and, after forcing him to fight his dark soul, engages him in battle. MegaMan destroys Duo's battle body and, using the energy of humans worldwide, changes the asteroid's course. Before MegaMan leaves, Duo warns that he will one day return again.
In the anime, he is a god-like entity created by an alien race. Fifteen years prior to Stream, he visited Earth and rescued Dr. Regal and Ms. Yuri from a plane crash, turning them into probes. He returns after seeing the violence Regal caused, but decides to spare humankind if it proves its worth. He is voiced by Kenji Nomura.
Duo possesses several abilities, many of which manifest in the form of space-age weaponry. His fists can detach and fire through rocket propulsion to strike his enemies. His chest cavity contains explosive artillery, including mines or missiles, which can be fired either directly or as homing projectiles; the cavity can also compress in on itself to release a laser beam. His most powerful technique is Anger Impact, where he releases a wave of energy resembling his face. In the anime, Duo also possesses the ability to separate Navis and operators from Cross Fusion, allowing them to take on physical bodies while in his asteroid.
Cybeasts
[edit]The Cybeasts are cyber beasts that appear in Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar/Cybeast Falzar, which Mayor Cain's grandfather created. Lord Wily seeks to obtain the legendary beasts to wreak havoc on both Cyberworld and the real world. Their roles in the story depend on the game version: the titular Cybeast is absorbed by MegaMan.EXE and later destroyed by him, while the opposite Cybeast is absorbed by CircusMan.EXE and is ultimately deleted by Colonel and Iris. In the anime, Gregar and Falzar each lead an army of Zoanoroids.
Cybeast Gregar
[edit]Cyber Beast Glaga (電脳獣グレイガ, Dennōjū Gureiga), known as Cybeast Gregar in English, is a wolf-like sentient program which, similarly to the Gospel Megavirus, was created from accumulated bugs.
In the anime, he is the leader of the Gregar Army, which consists of Zoanoroid versions of BlizzardMan.EXE, DarkMan.EXE, FlameMan.EXE, GutsMan.EXE, JunkMan.EXE, MetalMan.EXE, NapalmMan.EXE, NumberMan.EXE, PharaohMan.EXE, PlantMan.EXE, QuickMan.EXE, Sparkman.EXE, StoneMan.EXE, WhaleMan.EXE, and YamatoMan.EXE.
Cybeast Falzar
[edit]Cyber Beast Falzer (電脳獣ファルザ, Dennōjū Faruzā), known as Cybeast Falzar in English, is a falcon-like sentient program that created Dr. Cain, Mayor Cain's grandfather, created to combat Gregar. The program would go eventually awry, becoming as much of a threat to Cyberworld as Gregar.
In the anime, he is the leader of the Falzar Army, which consists of Zoanoroid versions of CloudMan.EXE, FreezeMan.EXE, GateMan.EXE, KendoMan.EXE, LarkMan.EXE, Meddy.EXE, Punk.EXE, SnakeMan.EXE, SwordMan.EXE, and the CutMan.EXE Brothers. Zoanoroid SparkMan.EXE used to be part of the Army until Zoanoroid PharaohMan.EXE converted him to Gregar's army.
Bass.EXE
[edit]Bass, known as Forte (フォルテ, Forute) in Japan, was intended to be the first fully autonomous NetNavi, completely independent of an operator. Bass was falsely blamed for causing problems in the original internet, and the SciLab Elite Corps nearly killed him. Dr. Cossack, his creator and the only human he trusted, was arrested before he could get Bass to safety, leading Bass to believe he had betrayed him and causing him to harbor hatred toward humanity..
In Battle Network 2, Sean Obihiro of Gospel attempts to make an army of Bass copies, eventually leading to the accidental creation of the Gospel Megavirus. In the game's ending, Bass is shown deleting a clone while swearing revenge upon humanity. Bass returns to fulfill this promise in Battle Network 3, where he assists Wily in using Alpha to destroy network society; however, he and Wily are later swallowed by Alpha. However, the remains of the Gospel Megavirus save him and fuse with him. He is later confronted by MegaMan in the secret area and defeated. It is revealed that he has amnesia, but Megaman reminds him of his creator, Cossack, and he leaves in confusion.
In Battle Network 4, Bass is found deep in the Undernet hibernating as a statue, and reawakens upon meeting Megaman. After being defeated, he retreats and vows to become stronger. In Battle Network 5, a post-game boss created through dark power takes on his likeness, but he can also be fought. When defeated, he leaves of his own volition; this trend continues until Battle Network 6. There, Bass is confronted in his gravestone in the Undernet and several times afterwards. The final confrontation with Bass is him at his most powerful, having absorbed the power of a Cybeast into his body. After being defeated, he drifts away into the net and is available as a random encounter in the Graveyard area.
In the anime, Wily created Bass from PharaohMan's data, coming into existence from PharaohMan's leftover data that Wily did not use to make Gospel. While Gospel contains PharaohMan's ultimate program, Bass is the reincarnation of PharaohMan's soul but without memories, which were used in making Gospel, though he later regains his memories after reading Megaman's memories. He is voiced by Matt Hill in English.
In the manga, Bass has a more violent personality and is known as the 'Black Shadow', the strongest Net Navi in the Undernet. As well, he is depicted as having a deeper rivalry with MegaMan.
