X, you shouldn't expect to defeat him; he is designed to be a war machine. Remember, you have not reached full power yet. If you use all the abilities you were designed with, you should become stronger...you may even become as powerful as I am. I'll scout ahead and collect as much information on Sigma's fortress as I can. I'll meet up with you when you get there. See you later! X, I know you can do it!

~ Zero to X

Sigma, you should have studied the blueprints closer! There is only one Zero!

Sorry X... I failed... It seems my power generator is damaged... I'll try and make it back to Dr. Cain's lab for repairs. You can't tell what is waiting for you, X. You better take my Beam Sabre with you... Crush them all, X. You're our last hope...

This isn't happening!! There's no reason for me to go on! What….WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOORRR?!?!

~ Zero after Iris's death

Even if we Reploids are destined to join the scrap heap when that evolutionary step does come about...We still have to fight... Not only against Mavericks, but against our own destiny as well.

I see... Whether you enter this capsule or not, The decision is up to you. But if you enter, the Z saver will be enhanced, and your defense power will be increased... I believe in you. You will use these powers in the right way to fight evil. Decide...and choose your fate.

Hmm...Yes...The energy readings are still the same...and there is no Maverick reading, is there... You are reading my normal data. This is the true form of me...

I don't recall calling myself a hero. Nor do I remember fighting for justice. I always fought for those I believed in. If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!
Dr. Wily'smagnum opus, Zero was one of the very first robot that later would be considered a reploid during 20XX, Wily had plans for him to suprass the likes of Proto Man, Bass and of course his main enemy, Mega Man. Unfortunately for Wily, Zero had a progamming error that made him extremely agressive, due to this, Wily forced himself to seal his masterpiece for over a century.
100 years later, Zero was awoken by a group of Maverick Hunters. once he woken up, he slayed the entire front of them without any ploblem, after that, he confronted the Maverick Hunter leader at the time, Sigma. Their battle was on equal and Sigma could fight off with Zero without worry, until Zero slashed his arm off and started to beat up Sigma. before Zero could finish him, a W sign appeared on his head, causing him extreme pain. Sigma took this opurtinity and punched his gem on his head, knocking Zero and infecting Sigma with the Maverick Virus, which would result in him transformming into a malicious leader.
Zero was then brought to Dr. Cain at Sigma's request, who analyzed him. Upon awakening again, Zero became docile and had no memories of his previous actions. He was placed under Sigma's supervision. Zero did not show any more signs of Maverick behavior and, putting his impressive strength to good use, was enlisted into the Maverick Hunters' 17th Elite Unit where there he became the best friend of Dr. Light's final creation, X.
Reaction Speed:Massively FTL (Capable of reacting to characters which were shown to be capable of keeping up with him), higher via Power Ups | Massively FTL, higher via Power Ups
Durability:Complex Universe level (Capable of tanking attacks from First Form Omega, X, Sigma and Vile) | Complex Universe level (Survived attacks from Omega at his peak)
Z-Saber: The Z-Saber (ゼットセイバー Zetto Seibā), also written as Z Saber and Z-Sabre, is Zero's main weapon to slice through his opponents in half. It is a powerful saber with a green (blue in some artworks from the Mega Man X series) energy blade. Zero receives the weapon in Mega Man X2 after he was remodeled by the X-Hunters, and has appeared in every chronological game since. Zero performs most of his techniques with the Z-Saber, his most recurring techniques being a rising slash, a downward stab, a dashing thrust or slash, and a rolling slash.

Soul Saber
Basho Fan
Titan Breaker
V-Hanger
Sigma Blade
Z-Buster: Similar to the X-Buster, the Zero Buster (Z-Buster for short) is a chargeable cannon embedded in Zero's arm(s). It can fire regular shots as well as Charge attacks. Similar to the Buster Upgrade of X's armor from Mega Man X2, Zero's Z-Busters can be linked to each other to fire two Charge Shots one after the other; however, they do not combine. When Zero became a fully playable character in Mega Man X4, his Z-Buster was completely removed due to game balancing, but it was re-introduced in Mega Man X5; in this game, it was only available if the game was started with Zero. However, its usage was stripped down drastically.
V-Hanger: The V-Hanger is obtained after defeating Wind Crowrang in Mega Man X7. It is a set of two purple-bladed beam daggers. Besides allowing Zero to use Souenbu by throwing boomerangs, the V-Hanger allows him to do a fast five-slash combo. The attack reach of the daggers are half as long as the regular Z-Saber.
D-Glaive: Also known as the Durga Glaive, this is a pole weapon that allows for longer-ranged attacks. It appears in both Mega Man X7, gained after defeating Splash Warfly, and Mega Man X8, where it can be constructed from a Rare Metal found in Dark Mantis' stage. The version in X7 is slow and just noticeably longer than the Z-Saber, but allows for the special move Suiretsusen. In X8 it can be spun over Zero's head to strike repeatedly, and its range has been greatly extended to two-and-a-half times that of the Z-Saber.
B Fan: Also known as the Bashou Fan (『芭蕉ファン "Banana Fan"), this is a pair of fans offering high attack and defense capabilities. Zero can stand still with this weapon that creates an energy shield around him that can deflect low-damage projectile shots. It appears in Mega Man X8. Learning the Rekkyodan technique will power-up the fans, allowing them to reflect shots back at the enemies by hitting them with the weapon.
Titan Breaker: this is a super-powerful heavy hammer that can break through enemies' barriers. Using Juuhazan with this weapon can even destroy some obstacles & platforms. It appears in Mega Man X8. However, this weapon is capable of only one slow slamming attack. The reach of this weapon is the same as the Z-Saber.
K Knuckle: Also known as the Kaiser Knuckle, this is a pair of brass knuckles that appear in Mega Man X8. Equipping them grants Zero access to the special techniques used by Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series. The weapon's range is almost non-existent as Zero has to come up close to attack enemies making it easier to get hit, however the attack power is the same as T Breaker. The main flaw of the K Knuckle is that it cannot break through enemy barriers due to it lacking the three hit combo ability for Zero to break through enemy barriers.
'Σ Blade: The Σ Blade is the weapon Sigma uses in Mega Man X8, and it can be obtained by either completing the game, or by entering a code on the title screen and then buying it in the R&D Lab. It is a giant sword with legendary attack power, and it can easily break enemies' barriers. In addition, equipping this weapon will reduce special weapon energy usage by half automatically.
