| ==Origin==
| |
| X was designed by Hayato Kaji as the main hero of the ''Mega Man X'' series, meant to resemble his predecessor [[Mega Man]] but with a more advanced and mature look. X is the secret final creation of Dr. Light, the creator of Mega Man, and was unique as the first robot with human-like sapience and a capacity for evolution. When he was discovered a century later, his specs were used to produce more robots like him, called Reploids. Over time, some Reploids began to malfunction or choose to harm humans, becoming known as Mavericks, and so the Maverick Hunters were organized to control this threat. Though unaware of the truth of his past, X joined the Maverick Hunters out of a desire to maintain peace between humans and Reploids. This culminated in the rebellion of the powerful Sigma, which serves as the premise for the entire series.
| |
| | |
| In ''Mega Man X'', X and his friend [[Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] work together to stop Sigma's initial rebellion, though at the cost of Zero's life. In ''Mega Man X2'', X roots out the remnants of Sigma's army, facing the three X-Hunters who serve Sigma and threaten to rebuild Zero as an evil Maverick. By the end of this game, Sigma's true form is revealed to be a nigh-immortal computer virus, while Zero is resurrected but his dark past involving Dr. Wily begins to surface. In ''Mega Man X3'', X and Zero work together to stop the rebellion of Dr. Doppler, who was corrupted by the Sigma Virus. In ''Mega Man X4'', X and Zero stop a coup d'état by the military Repliforce, who were manipulated by Sigma into rebelling against the humans. In ''Mega Man X5'', the Sigma Virus threatens to corrupt the entire planet, and when a space colony hits the Earth, Zero may give in to his original purpose and devote himself to destroying X. In the end, X and Zero defeat Sigma together, though Zero appears to perish again. In ''Mega Man X6'', X reunites with Zero as the two face the mysterious Nightmare created by the mad scientist Gate, who also resurrected Sigma. In ''Mega Man X7'', X temporarily retires to seek peaceful solutions to Maverick conflicts. This leaves a spot for the newcomer Axl to work alongside Zero to fight the illegal bounty hunters in Red Alert, who were also manipulated by Sigma. In ''Mega Man X8'', X, Zero, and Axl work together to fight the rebellious new generation Reploids, who joined Sigma on purpose in a plot to destroy the Earth and retreat to space.

| | |
| X also appears in the ''Mega Man Zero'' series, set two centuries later, where he has lost his physical body and exists as a digital fairy called a Cyber-elf. He acts as a supporting character to Zero, the new protagonist of the series, until he dissipates into cyber space. Even another two centuries later, in the ''Mega Man ZX'' series, an artifact called Model X appears, which is based on X's soul and grants powers to the wielder that are similar to his.

| ===Assist role===
| | As the final and ultimate creation of Dr. Light, X was created as a powerful robot with human-level capacities, and not bound by the rules of robotics as was the original [[Mega Man]]. He and [[Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] were the first known robots with this level of free will, known as Reploids. As a potentially dangerous robot at the time he was built, Dr. Light sealed him in a capsule for diagnostic training to ensure if these improvements were safe. About 100 years after the original ''Mega Man'' series, an archaeologist under the name of Dr. Cain, discovered the ruins of Dr. Light's lab which contained the capsule X was in. As a result, Dr. Cain decided to duplicate X to mass produce Reploids to become a standard living race on Earth alongside with humans. Due to their ability of complete free will, Reploids also have the potential of rebelling against society, such label to give to these Reploids were called "Mavericks". X's role as a Maverick Hunter entails protecting the world from Mavericks such as Sigma and defeating them. |
