“ | So you've come... X, I gave you the ability to choose your own path in life, and I hoped the world would allow you to choose a peaceful one. But now it seems that you are destined to fight. Because I thought the world might need a new champion, I have hidden capsules like this one. If you find and use them you will be able to increase your powers beyond anything the world has ever known. Step into this capsule and receive an acceleration system to boost your speed. Good Luck, X! | „ |

“ | Joined by his friend Zero, Mega Man X gazes out over the sea. Sigma has once again been destroyed, but X wonders if the fighting will truly end. Was Dr. Light's dream of a world in which reploids and humans lived together in peace merely a dream? The price of peace is often high, X thinks to himself. Who or what must be sacrificed for it to become reality? And when the time comes, will he be able to do it? The future holds the answers or.. | „ |

| “ | WARNING:
"X" IS THE FIRST OF A NEW GENERATION OF ROBOTS WHICH CONTAIN AN INNOVATIVE NEW FEATURE - THE ABILITY TO THINK, FEEL, AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. HOWEVER, THIS ABILITY COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF "X" WERE TO BREAK THE FIRST RULE OF ROBOTICS, "A ROBOT MUST NEVER HARM A HUMAN BEING", THE RESULTS WOULD BE DISASTROUS AND I FEAR THAT NO FORCE ON EARTH COULD STOP HIM. APPROXIMATELY 30 YEARS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE WE CAN SAFELY CONFIRM HIS RELIABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY I WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE THAT DAY, NOR DO I HAVE ANYONE TO CARRY ON MY WORK. THEREFORE, I HAVE DECIDED TO SEAL HIM IN THIS CAPSULE, WHICH WILL TEST HIS INTERNAL SYSTEMS UNTIL HIS RELIABILITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB THE CAPSULE UNTIL THAT TIME. "X" POSSESSES GREAT RISKS AS WELL AS GREAT POSSIBILITIES. I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST. SEPTEMBER 18, 20XX T. LIGHT |

Background
Mega Man X, named Rockman X (ロックマンエックス Rokkuman Ekkusu) in Japan, commonly called X (エックス Ekkusu), was the eponymous protagonist of the Mega Man X series. X also served as a guide during the Mega Man Zero series and appeared as Model X in the Mega Man ZX series. He was the successor of the original Mega Man and is Dr. Thomas Light's greatest creation. X is a Maverick Hunter who fought alongside his partners Zero and Axl in order to maintain peace and stability in the world and protect humans and Reploids alike from Maverick attacks, though X would like nothing better than the opportunity to stop fighting. Because of his aversion to violence, X is initially ranked a B-Class Hunter, but he was eventually promoted to S-Class.
X was the first robot to possess free will, sentience, and independent thought; no longer requiring restrictive programming or rules to dictate his behavior; based on technology pioneered by Dr. Light. Dr. Cain, the scientist who found him, was never able to fully analyze X's internal systems and system code. Despite this, Cain was able to replicate X's general architecture, making X the precursor to each and every Reploid brought into production. This made him the proverbial "father" of the current Reploids.

Notable Techniques
X-Buster
| Attack | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Shot (Lvl. 1) | 
|
X's default buster shots. They are bright yellow in color, and while they do not deal much damage on their own, they benefit from a high firing rate. |
| Semi-Charge Shot (Lvl. 2) | 
|
X's semi-charged shots. They are either green or blue in color, and are slightly larger and stronger than normal shots. |
| Charge Shot (Lvl. 3) |  |
X's usual fully-charged shots. They are either blue, pink, or green in color, and are considerably larger and stronger than normal shots. |
| Charge Shot (Lvl. 4) | 
|
Only available in Mega Man X7 and Mega Man X8, these shots are a tier above the usual Charge Shots. They are blue in color, and are much larger and stronger than normal shots. |
Armor and Arm Part Upgrades
| Armor | Attack | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Armor | Spiral Crush Buster (スパイラルクラッシュバスター) |
|
X can charge to Lvl. 4. It is composed of multiple pink shots, and creates a flash behind X that can damage those behind him (except in Maverick Hunter X). |
| Second Armor | Double Charge Shot (ダブルチャージショット) |
|
X can charge to Lvl. 4. This allows X to fire a Lvl. 3 Charge Shot while also storing a second shot for future use; when briefly charged the second is a Lvl. 2 shot, while charging for longer makes it a new Lvl. 3 Charge Shot with shots spiraling around it. |
| Third Armor | Cross Charge Shot (クロスチャージショット) |
|
X can charge to Lvl. 4. It is two shots like the Double Charge Shot, but the first shot can be combined with the second by firing them in rapid succession, splitting into a wall of five powerful shots. |
| Fourth Armor | Stock Charge Shot (ストックチャージショット) |
|
One of the two Charge Shots available in Mega Man X4. By charging to Lvl. 3, X can store up to four Lvl. 3 Charge Shots and fire each of them at will. |
| Plasma Charge Shot (プラズマチャージショット) |
|
One of the two Charge Shots available in Mega Man X4. It pierces enemies, leaving behind a damaging Plasma Ball for each it makes contact with. In Mega Man X5 this is the Fourth Armor's default Charge Shot, but it can only leave one Plasma Ball at a time. | |
| Ultimate Armor | 
|
The Ultimate Armor has used the Plasma Charge Shot from Mega Man X4 to Mega Man X6, and Mega Man X8. | |
| Falcon Armor | Spear Charge Shot (スピアチャージショット) |
|
A Lvl. 3 Charge Shot that can pierce through any enemy or obstacle in Mega Man X5. In Mega Man X6 it has lost its piercing properties. |
| Gaea Armor | Gaea Shot |  
|
Normal buster shots are short-ranged but powerful blasts reminiscent of a Lvl. 2 shot. Charging to Lvl. 3 increases the size of the blast, erases incoming projectiles, and can destroy Gaea Blocks. |
| Blade Armor | Charge Saber (チャージセイバー) |
 
|
The Lvl. 3 Charge Shots leave behind damaging energy balls similarly to the Plasma Charge Shot, though smaller. X can also use a Charged Saber attack by holding Up while releasing the Lvl. 3 charge, giving the slash extended range and the ability to erase incoming projectiles. Notably, in this armor X's saber extends from his buster. |
| Shadow Armor | Engetsurin (円月輪, "Crescent Moon Ring") |
 
|
Normal buster shots are random shuriken-like shots similar to C-Shot. Charging to Lvl. 3 results in a Z-Saber slash with an added crescent moon effect for extended range and damage. |
| Glide Armor | Glide Shot | 
|
Adds three smaller projectiles around the Lvl. 4 Charge Shot to deal additional damage. |
| Hermes Armor | Spread Charge Shot (拡散チャージショット) |
|

| Icarus Armor | Laser Charge Shot (レーザーチャージショット) |
|
Upscales all of X's charge levels, making his normal shots into Lvl. 2 shots, Lvl. 2 shots into Lvl. 3 Charge Shots, etc. with additional guard-breaking power. His Lvl. 4 Charge Shot also becomes a laser beam that deals prolonged damage and can suspend X in the air. |

X can stand upon this sled and ride it for a short period of time. In Maverick Hunter X, the sled produced is just a flat piece of ice with a sharp point in front, but it works just like the original version. |
|
 Electric Spark(エレクトリックスパーク) |
Spark Mandrill |
Fires electrically-charged spheres that dissipate upon contact with enemies; if a sphere hits a wall, it splits in two, and the two charges then run along the wall. | In X1, two walls of energy are released behind and in front of X. In MHX, an enormous wave of electric energy is emitted in all directions from X that can destroy all enemies present. |
|
 Rolling Shield(ローリングシールド) |
Armored Armadillo |
A spherical ball of energy the size of X is fired. This shot will roll along the ground until it hits an enemy and dissipates, or bounces off of a wall and dissipates on collision with a second. | A shield will surround X, until it is destroyed by heavy contact. The power of the shield has been increased in MHX as it now resists more enemies with higher defenses. *Note: In Maverick Hunter X, X can switch weapons while the charged Rolling Shield is active, but won't be able to fire the normal version of this weapon.* |
|
 Homing Torpedo(ホーミングトーピード) |
Launch Octopus |
Fires small rockets that home in on enemies, detonating on contact. | Releases six larger fish-shaped missiles in a fanned-out manner.

If a cutter returns unscathed, the energy used to create it will be returned.
This attack also appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. |

|
 Chameleon Sting(カメレオンスティング) |
Sting Chameleon |
Fires a bolt of energy forwards that splits into three bolts just after being fired; these smaller bolts travel up-forwards, forwards, and down-forwards respectively. In MHX, X simply shoots out the three bolts from the X-Buster directly and its firing angle can be adjusted upwards or downwards and is slightly faster. | X flashes in various colors of the rainbow and is temporarily able to walk through enemies and many other hazards without taking damage. *Note: In MHX, X can switch weapons while the charged Chameleon Sting is active, and is able to fire the Normal Version of this weapon even when the Charged Version is active.* |
|
 Storm Tornado(ストームトルネード) |
Storm Eagle |
Fires a horizontal cyclone of air which can strike enemies multiple times. In MHX, the length of the cyclone that can attack enemies is halved, allowing for more attempts at a specific time frame.

Flame Mammoth |
Releases a constant stream of flames that continues as long as the attack button is held down. Doesn't work underwater. | Shoots out a fireball that creates a wave of flames when it hits solid ground and travels a short distance until it reaches a wall or the end of the solid ground. *Note: Since the uncharged Fire Wave is continuous, weapon energy will be wasted to allow use of the charged attack. Color scheme of X's Armor in MHX changes from orange to red.* |
Mega Man X2
| Graphic | Weapon | Boss | Normal Version | Charged Attack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
 Sonic Slicer(ソニックスライサー) |
Overdrive Ostrich |

When used underwater, jumping height is further increased. *Note: Since the uncharged Bubble Splash is continuous, weapon energy will be wasted to allow use of the charged attack.* |
|
 Speed Burner(ラッシングバーナー, Rushing Burner) |
Flame Stag |
A pair of fireballs are shot. Traces of damaging flames will appear if this weapon is fired on the ground. When used underwater, only two non-flaming drones are shot; they do little damage. | Surrounded by flames, X can air dash, slightly longer than Second Armor's air dash. Can be used after the latter (or vice-versa) for further reach. |
|
 Silk Shot(スクラップシュート, Scrap Shoot) |
Morph Moth |
Launches hunks of garbage. This weapon's behavior and power vary from stage to stage, but the most common form is a chunk of scrap metal that arcs downward and explodes into diagonal shrapnel. | X's buster attracts a huge mass of junk, creating a large block that shields him slightly. Releasing the button fires the mass of junk as a makeshift projectile. When charged up in certain unmarked rooms, it will instead pull a bunch of energy or weapon capsules out of the walls for X to collect. |
|
 Magnet Mine(マグネットマイン) |
Magna Centipede |
Releases a mine that travels horizontally at a constant rate, and can be controlled vertically. It will detonate immediately on contact with an enemy, or after a short time upon contact with a wall. | A miniature black hole is unleashed; it is controlled in the same fashion as the uncharged version, with the exception of being able to go through walls/obstacles. It can increase in size if it absorbs enough of a certain range of objects. |
|
 Crystal Hunter(クリスタルハンター) |
Crystal Snail |
Fires a glob of liquid which crystallizes enemies on contact. The encased enemy can be destroyed by jumping on it, similar to performing a wall kick, or by dashing through it.

This can also be used to lift up certain platforms to grant X access to new areas. |
|
 Parasitic Bomb(パラスティックボム) |
Blast Hornet |
Fires an explosive charge that can attach itself to an enemy, stunning it. Large enemies are only stunned, whereas small enemies are stunned and then flown to the nearest enemy to achieve double damage. | Four crosshairs appear around X and seek enemies. After targeting an enemy, a mini bee will home in on the target and attack it. |

- Hadouken: The Hadoken (波動拳 Hadouken, "Surge Fist" or "Wave Motion Fist") is a move from Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games that was included in as a secret power-up obtained from a Light Capsule in Mega Man X, Maverick Hunter X, Mega Man Xtreme and Mega Man Xtreme 2, and is executed in the same way, inputting the combination ↓↘→+ATTACK while X's health gauge is full and he is on the ground to unleash a powerful energy ball. It causes 32 damage, being able to destroy most bosses and enemies in a single hit.
- Shoryuken: Shoryuken (昇龍拳; Shōryūken, "Rising Dragon Fist") is a special move from the Street Fighter series, a rising fire uppercut. Mega Man X can learn the Shoryuken by entering the game's secret capsule. In Mega Man X2 it is executed with →↓↘+ATTACK while X is at full health and on the ground.
- Z-Saber: Z-Saber (ゼットセイバー Zetto Seibā), also written as Z Saber and Z-Sabre, is Zero's main weapon in the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series. It is a powerful saber with a green energy blade. In Mega Man X3 Zero lends the Z-Saber for X to use after being severely injured. To use the Beam Saber, X must fully charge his buster beyond the pink charge level into the fourth green charge level, where he will then draw it from his back and fires off a slashing arc of green energy, where upon impact, the target is swarmed with cutting blows. The attack does optimal damage and is considered the game's ultimate weapon.
- Giga Crush: Giga Crush (ギガクラッシュ Giga Kurasshu), also known as Giga Crash, is a full-screen attack that causes damage to all enemies seen on-screen.
- Nova Strike: The Nova Strike (ノヴァ・ストライク Nova Sutoraiku) is the Giga Attack of the Fourth Armor and the Ultimate Armor in the Mega Man X series. X first surrounds his body with immense energy, then performs an invincible flying tackle that plows through and destroys enemies almost effortlessly. Aside from its offensive capability, the Nova Strike also permits quick mobility throughout most levels.
- Spear Charged Shots: The Giga Attack of the Falcon Armor which unleashes a wave of Spear Charged Shots across the screen, severely damaging any enemies that it hits.
- Gaea Armor's Giga Attack: With the Giga Attack of the Gaea armor, X pulls his hands back and charges a large sphere of green and black energy, then thrusts it forward, severely damaging anything directly in front of him.
- Blade Armor's Giga Attack: The Blade Armor's Giga Attack is a very large slash which produces two giant waves of energy. The waves become more powerful when hit from a distance.
- Enkourin: Enkourin (円光輪 lit. Circling Halo/Circling Light Ring) is the Giga Attack of the Shadow Armor. Enkourin creates powerful spinning orange crescents that encircle him for a brief moment, severely damaging all enemies in his vicinity.
- X-Drive: The Giga Ability X-Drive, an ability that will boost most of X's stats for a limited time. It can quadruple X's Charge Speed, makes X invulnerable to weaker attacks, lets X shoot 5 Semi-Charged Shots at once, and quadruples X's running and dashing speed.
Other
Standard Tactics: X uses all his weapons to his advantage and can equip parts and chips if needed. He also can transform into his several armors to make him stronger as well as summon Zero and Axl to fight with him. He also can use the Mother Elf's abilities to help him as he did to defeat the Sigma Virus once and for all.
Weaknesses: His pacifist nature can make him too trusting at times. His special weapons have limited ammunition. However that is easily solved with his unlimited ammo via armors and parts
Note: Command Mission is not canon as it takes place at the same time of the Zero series.
Note 2: If X seals someone, he turns into Cyber Elf X
