He initially intended for the design to be used as the main protagonist, but upon realizing that players may have a hard time recognizing such a different-looking protagonist, he got fellow artist Hayato Kaji to design one closer to the original [[Mega Man]]; thus {{b|X|Mega Man}} was born. Meanwhile, Zero's design was repurposed into a supporting character. | ||
Zero debuted in ''Mega Man X'' as X's mentor in the Maverick Hunters, eventually sacrificing himself to help X defeat Vile and continue to stop the leader of the evil Mavericks, Sigma. In ''Mega Man X2'', Zero's body was repaired and split into pieces by the villainous X-Hunters, forcing X to face them to retrieve his parts so he could be rebuilt. If the player failed to do so, Zero would be revived as a violent Maverick and have to be fought in a boss battle. It began to be implied that Zero was created by the evil [[Dr. Wily]], which would be built upon in later games. In ''Mega Man X3'', Zero returned as an ally of X who could be summoned to trade places, letting the player temporarily play as Zero in certain situations. | Zero debuted in ''Mega Man X'' as X's mentor in the Maverick Hunters, eventually sacrificing himself to help X defeat Vile and continue to stop the leader of the evil Mavericks, Sigma.
