List of Mega Man X characters

This is a list of characters appearing in the Mega Man X series. Unless otherwise stated, each of these characters is a Reploid. Names appear in order of appearance.

Maverick Hunters

The Maverick Hunters are the heroes of the Mega Man X series, and the protagonists of each game are prominent Maverick Hunters. When they are introduced in Mega Man X, they have already existed for quite a while, having been previously founded by Dr. Cain (which has since retired). From Mega Man X on, they battle Sigma and other Mavericks.

Mega Man X

CV: Kentarou Itou (X4 JP), Shoutarou Morikubo (X5-7 JP), Takahiro Sakurai (CM, X8 JP), Ruth Shiraishi (X4 EN), Peter Von Gomm (X7 EN), Mark Gatha (CM, X8 EN)

S class Hunter, leader of the 17th Unit of the Maverick Hunters. The hero of the series, he was created by Dr. Light as the first robot with the ability to "think" and act on its own. For some reason, he refuses to remove his helmet if he can help it. Most of the Maverick Hunters simply call him X, which is fine by him considering he dislikes being referred to as Megaman X. This is due to the fact that unlike the original Megaman, he has so far been unable to prevent mass amounts of lives from being lost. He joined the Maverick Hunters before Sigma went Maverick. He has a strong disliking for violence and wishes he did not have to resort to it. His decision whether or not to fight seems to fluctuate. In X7, he adamantly refuses to fight until certain game requirements are met, however in X8, he seems to shrug off his convictions and jumps right into the fray with Zero and Axl. X seems to have a disliking for Axl and does not want him to be a Hunter, partially due to his origin and the fact he is still considerably young. In the manga, he has a relationship with a female pirate named Martei, although it is a rather violent one. In X1, he joined as a member of the 17th Elite Unit of the Maverick Hunters which was led by Sigma who later goes Maverick. Afterwards, X replaced Sigma's position as a leader, until X7 where X (temporarily) retired from the battling frontline, to some "more peaceful" work. However, since X7, X is stated "originally the leader of the 17th Elite Unit" with him still being a Hunter.

Zero

CV: Ryoutarou Okiayu (JP), Wayne Dozier (X4 EN), Lucas Gilbertson (CM, X8 EN)

S class Hunter, leader of the #0 Stealth Unit of the Maverick Hunters, he is now one of the highest ranked officers in the Maverick Hunters. X's friend, partner, mentor, teacher and somewhat brother character. Most evidence seems to suggest that he is the last creation of Dr. Wily. Zero and X's internal systems and pasts still remain largely a mystery to all but their long-dead creators.

Dr. Cain

CV: Tadashi Miyazawa (JP)

A human archaeologist who discovered X in a forgotten capsule (sometime around the date 2114 AD). Upon finding X, he copied X's plans to create many hundreds of X replications (Reploids). However, he wasn't able to replicate X's system exactly the same and made alternate parts for his designs. He also did not have their systems scanned for flaws as X himself did. This lack of scanning was thought to be the source of the Maverick condition for the first three games. In addition, Cain is the human leader of the Maverick Hunters for the first four games. Cain was responsible for the creation of Dr. Doppler, who created the city known as "Doppler Town" for humans and Reploids to co-exist in (X3), but later went Maverick, and then the "Repliforce," which also ended in corruption at the hands of Sigma (X4). His whereabouts are currently unknown as he has not appeared since X3 and was last mentioned in X4.

Alia

CV: Rumi Kasahara (JP), Rumiko Varnes (X7 EN), Mariette Sluyter (X8 EN)

A researcher and former colleague of Gate with an IQ of 300. She is the chief-navigator and programmer for the Maverick Hunters. Her appearance is that of a blonde woman in her early-twenties. She worked for a research-group alongside Gate, whom she had a short romance with. This ended in tragedy when Gate was promptly fired for unethical and otherwise dangerous experiments and he swore revenge against them. She joined the hunters soon afterwards. She changed her armor since X8 to a more feminine version, and has let her hair down until recently it had been curled into a roll.

Douglas

CV: Wataru Takagi

A mechanic for the Maverick Hunters who appeared in a support role in X5 and X6. He constructed power-up parts (or "modules") for X and Zero and reinforced the Enigma Cannon and Space Shuttle with the parts they gathered from the Mavericks. During the Nightmare outbreak, Douglas helped X and Zero by refining power-up parts for them. Although he is still employed by the maverick hunters, he has not appeared ingame for awhile. He is a somewhat eccentric character who prefers to look on the lighter side of things. He can fix about anything.

Signas

File:X8 signas.jpg

Signas

CV: Hirotaka Suzuoki (JP), Robert Belgrade (X7 EN), Roger Rhodes (X8 EN)

Signas is the newest leader and commander of the Maverick Hunters, introduced in X5. He was originally a private investigator before being assigned to the maverick hunters. Signas commands every mission executed by the Hunters, and he also often plans out major operations, overseeing them carefully. Very loyal to humans and Reploids, Signas will stop at nothing to ensure that all Mavericks are eliminated, as he has already proven to be a worthy leader and valuable Hunter.

Axl

CV: Minami Takayama (JP), Lenne Hardt (X7 EN), Jeffrey Watson (CM, X8 EN)

A relatively new character, he used to be a member of the Red Alert Syndicate: a group of unofficial Maverick hunters consisting mostly of bounty hunters and criminals. He leaves the group wishing to become a true Maverick Hunter. Axl has the ability to absorb the DNA data of other Reploids, since he is a New Generation Reploid prototype as mentioned in Megaman X8. This allows him to copy an enemy's power and form. Because of this, he is a target for Sigma who wishes to use Axl's stored DNA data to increase his own power. He was a pre-teen when introduced in X7, but has grown into his mid-teens since Command Mission. There is an X-shaped scar in the center of his face, which he does not get repaired for reasons unknown. Although Axl has grown since X7, he is still somewhat immature and a constant pain in the neck for X and Zero. He is stated in Command Mission a S(A) rank hunter.

Mavericks

Vile

CV: Mugihito (X8 JP), Hiroshi Shimozaki (IHX JP)

Former member of the Elite 17th unit of the Maverick Hunters. He was known for being extremely violent and was confined at one point. During the first major Maverick revolt, Sigma released him, and he became Sigma's right hand man. It is not known if Vile was infected by the Maverick Virus, as his violent nature and desire to destroy X and Zero seems to outweigh his desire to kill humans. Vile was destroyed by X and Zero in the first game and brought back by Doppler in X3 where he was destroyed a second time by X. At this point, Vile MK II had become utterly insane, and even brought down an entire factory in some hope X would be trapped inside. After his second defeat, his last words would be that he would haunt X forever.

Sigma

CV: Mugihito (JP), Walter Roberts (X7 EN), Dave Petit (X8 EN)

Original leader of the Maverick Hunters. Designed by Cain to be the perfect Reploid, Sigma was implemented with devices to protect him from turning Maverick. These devices failed and Sigma ended up as the leader of the Mavericks. Later it is discovered that Sigma's turning Maverick is due to his defeating Zero, upon which the virus switched carriers from Zero to Sigma.

Over time the Maverick Virus has apparently fused with his mind, making the virus and Sigma the same entity. This is how Sigma keeps surviving his defeats at the end of each game. Sigma has a habit of fighting first in his normal body, which the player must destroy, and then switching over to a much more powerful body that is hidden in the background. As such "pulling a Sigma" is a sometimes used as video game jargon to describe someone who is defeated and then comes back a moment later fully healed and more powerful then they were before through some means.

The ending of Mega Man X8: Paradise Lost seems to indicate that Sigma has finally been defeated for good and will not return, due to the fact that his viral form was released on the moon, where it has very little chance of corrupting anyone else.

Dynamo

File:Dynamo.gif

Dynamo, introduced in Mega Man X5 and later recurring in Mega Man X6, is a mercenary who works for Sigma. He is voiced by Showtaro Morikubo.

Dynamo was hired by Sigma to help his execution of the plan to spread the Maverick virus all over Earth. Once Sigma had executed the plan, Dynamo's job was to slow down the progress of X and Zero as they gathered parts for the Enigma cannon and the Shuttle, both of which were intended to stop the colony's crash, which was an integral part of the virus plan. Despite his arrogant claims, he turned tail and ran when X and Zero brought him to the realization that he could die. This showed that he was still intelligent and hasn't turned Maverick, as most Mavericks would refuse to back down and would be destroyed. With Sigma no longer around to protect him during Mega Man X6, he tried gathering the Nightmare Souls to enhance his power. However, he still failed miserably at fighting X and Zero, and always ran away to fight again. He made no subsequent appearance during the war between the Hunters and Red Alert in Mega Man X7, nor the Jakob Project incident in Mega Man X8.

Techno

Techno was a child prodigy along with his brother Midi, a genius computer scientist and programmer. He was brainwashed by Geemel and Zain into helping them hack the main computer at the Maverick Hunter HQ and compromise both their security and records. Unfortunately, to hack such a strong program, Techno was forced to connect his brain directly to his control panel, and when X destroyed it, it ended up killing Techno as well. Just before his death, he recovered his memories and managed to apologize to his brother for what he had done.

Gate

CV: Keiji Fujiwara

A Reploid scientist who is a friend of Alia. It is hinted that his relationship with her had extended to the point of lovers up until the point where he broke himself off from the research group. He has created several other Reploids, all of which were unequaled in their fields. However, his colleagues, being unable to properly analyze Gate's specialized Reploids, grew fearful of his skill and plotted to do away with his creations. This led to all of his Reploids being terminated, usually with Gate's colleagues framing them as Mavericks or sabotaging their systems. Those that survived committed suicide out of guilt. Highly angered from this, Gate leaves his research lab. In the beginning of X6, Gate goes to explore a ruin. Inside, he finds a piece of Zero. Zero's virus-infected DNA caused him to go insane, though also gave him incredible power and allowed him to resurrect his creations. Gate was the main villain in Mega Man X6, and was defeated by X and Zero. Shortly after his defeat, however, Gate reactivated a half-completed (and half-witted) Sigma as a last resort, getting himself blasted by him in the process, but he is still alive.

Berkana

Berkana was a Reploid female scientist dabbling in the concept of DNA souls at the Laguz Island research facility. However, her research was eventually deemed unethical after laws against DNA-resurrection were passed, and much to her displeasure, her research was immediately halted by the authorities. Sigma took advantage of her anger and convinced her to assist him in his plan to resurrect his deceased soldiers by extracting the DNA souls of Reploids and using them to fuel the zombie Mavericks, as well as strengthen living ones to ghastly levels. Desperate to continue her research, Berkana immediately agreed and Sigma modified her into a battle Reploid. She assumed the guise of a witch and became the commander of Sigma's revived army, continuing to extract the DNA souls of Reploids all over the planet. Soon after coming into power, her personality became coy and arrogantly playful. Once X and Zero were sent to halt her activities, she quickly became mentally and sexually attracted to X and decided to offer him the chance to join her. X declined and continued to fight her forces. Once the majority of her army had been destroyed, Berkana decided to fight X personally, only to be easily defeated. Her body was destroyed and Sigma found it best to ignore resurrecting her when given the opportunity.

Gareth

Although Gareth's early origins were unknown, he worked as Berkana's righthand-man during her time as a Soul-Eraser. He wore armor resembling a medieval knight, and fought like one as well using a dragoon fighting style. Gareth was dedicated to both Berkana and his mission, believing he was only erasing the souls of "evil" Reploids. He was blind to the truth, however, and ultimately died for it. He held a deep hatred for X after noticing Berkana's interest in him, and aimed to destroy him. In a way, this accelerated his defeat. Gareth's sudden obsession over the idea of destroying his rival, X, robbed him of his logic, leading him to disregard Zero's ever-growing potential. By the time Gareth realized his mistake, it was to late. Gareth fell at the hands of Zero.

Lumine

CV: Junko Noda (JP), Elinor Holt (EN)

Lumine is the same breed of Reploid as Axl in that his powers and abilities are centered around his chameleon chip. However, he refers to Axl as being only a prototype. Lumine calls all reploids with copy chips "New Generation" Reploids. It is revealed that all Reploids with working chips are immune to viruses of all kinds and thus cannot become Maverick. However, he later says that since the copy chips are created by combining the DNA of nearly all reploids in existence, including Sigma, all New Generation Reploids can go Maverick at will. He is the director of the Jakob Project (the name for the creation of a giant space elevator used to transport humans to the moon) and the leader of all the New Generation Reploids. He is the villain of X8 and marks the first time in the series where the final boss of the game is not Sigma.

X-Hunters

The X-Hunters (Counter Hunters in Japan) appear in Mega Man X2. Their names are derived from French terms for personality traits.They endlessly hunt X.

Agile

Member of the X Hunters. Agile means, unsurprisingly, agile. He is a purple armored swordsman. He makes a small Cameo in Mega Man Zero 2 where his spirit is used by a boss as an attack.

Sagesse / Serges

Leader of the X Hunters. Sagesse means wisdom, cognate with English sage. He appears to be a small old man. His fighting techniques seem to focus mostly on defense and the use of advanced weapons showing that, while intelligent, he is not a battle machine. He is also the one rebuilding Zero, adding armor; Serges (or at least, a computer program resembling Serges) made a Cameo appearance as a non-speaking boss in Mega Man Xtreme.

Violen

Member of the X Hunters. Violent (the t is silent) means violent. Takes the form of a giant gorilla and fights using a ball and chain. He is incredibly powerful but apparently lacking in brains, despite his use of big words.

Nightmare Police

The Nightmare Police protected Doppeltown from the Hunters in Mega Man X3.

Dr. Doppler

A "Reploid scientist", Doppler became corrupted with the Sigma Virus and eventually became a Maverick. Created a partially successful anti-program against the Maverick Virus. He was a great-friend of Dr. Cain, who was emotionally tortured throughout the whole incident due to the betrayal.

Mandarilla BB / Byte

Along with Bit, a member of the Nightmare Police working under Dr. Doppler. He is enormous, calm, and physically powerful. Destroyed in the Doppler Town Incident. In the manga, Byte was able to disintegrate himself into thousands of tiny wormlike robots and able to reform just about everywhere. After Martei had given X his armor upgrades, he obliterated most of his and Bit's bodies, where they reformed into "Godkarmachine O Inary" (or "G-Machine").

Vajurilla FF / Bit

Along with Byte, one of the Nightmare Police working under Dr. Doppler. He is fast, arrogant, and carries a large shield-like device. Destroyed in the Dopplertown Incident. In the manga, Bit was able to disintegrate himself into thousands of tiny wormlike robots and able to reform just about everywhere. After Martei had given X his armor upgrades, he obliterated most of his and Byte's bodies, where they reformed into "Godkarmachine O Inary" (or "G-Machine"). He makes a small Cameo in Mega Man Zero 2 where his spirit is used by a boss as an attack.

Other

Cedar

Cedar was a reploid who was often seen with a cigar-esque object inside his mouth (Edited out of the US version.) His illegal business was interrupted by Red Alert, but he managed to get away from them in the first place, having acquired the illegal virus program "Sigma-02." However, little did he subject that Red Alert let him get away the first time to see what he was going to do next. Hiding at Point RD-13-29, an area that was completely destroyed during Earth Crisis, but brought back on the road to recovery, Cedar found himself attacked by Red Alert once again. He was assassinated by Axl of Red Alert, who copied the DNA of Cedar's associate "Aluce." During this, Cedar couldn't help but mutter in disbelief at Axl's mysterious abilities. Cedar was presumably affiliated with Sigma as the success of Red Alert against Cedar attracted Sigma's attention toward the vigilante group and Axl's mysterious abilities.

Aluce

The Reploid Aluce was an associate of Cedar's. Apparently being his bodyguard of sorts. When Red Alert attacked Point RD-13-29, Aluce was sent to investigate and fight off the intruders. Aluce met up with Red and Axl, and was retired by Axl through means of Copy Shot. Aluce's DNA was then used to trick Cedar.

Resistance

File:Resistance (MMXCM).JPG

The Resistance

These Reploids defend Giga City from the Rebellion.

Aile

A disabled Reploid confined to a hovering-unit. He rips a door ID from his own body and gives it to X for safe passage through the Rebellion-seized Sky Tower, then self-destructs to stop a group of mechaniloids from pursuing X. Little is known about him other than that he considers Chief R a father figure and his physical condition came from a mistake Spider made when the two were friends and bounty hunting partners. The injuries sustained from the event destroyed his body from the waist down and ruined his vocal system, forcing him to speak via a speaker installed in his hover-unit.

Chief R

CV: Hideyuki Hori (JP)

The kindly leader of the Resistance, an anti-Rebellion Army group in Giga City. He was rescued from the Rebellion early in the conflict by X, and provided X and his team leadership and direction until the end. He was among the farewell party for X, Zero, and Axl when Colonel Redips's escort group arrived. He stood out in the landing pad and waved to the lead ship -- which suddenly took aim and ventilated him with massive sustained firepower. They were the opening shots of what proved to be the final conflict. Chief R died shortly afterwards.

Cinnamon Gaudile

CV: Ai Nonaka (JP), Caitlynne Medrek (EN)

A youthful nurse Reploid who proved invaluable to the Resistance in the Giga City conflict. She is just barely younger than Axl, although she was constructed at that age to appear inconspicuous. In her body is a force metal generator, a device that can refine different types of force metal into a single piece of greater strength. What sort of force metal the generator creates depends on two factors; Cinnamon's knowledge of force metal types and her general mood. In addition, the generator can release energy to heal Reploids at will, although this takes an immense amount of energy out of Cinnamon's stamina. Dr. Gaudile fitted the generator into her so as to keep it safe from being used as a tool of war, but the effort proved futile when the Rebellion captured her. X and his team, along with a thief named Marino who had hoped to steal the generator for herself, rescued Cinnamon and made her part of the team. Her insistence also influenced Dr. Gaudile to help the Resistance. Though she certainly seems harmless with her childish mannerisms and nurse outfit (which becomes a maid outfit in her powered-up form), Cinnamon is one of the strongest members of the Resistance. Her personality is cute and spunky, and she usually just seems to be having fun. The force metal generator negates her normal bodily functions such as growth or being able to remove her breast and back armor casually, although this seems to have little to no effect on her.

Dr. Gaudile

CV: Naoki Tatsuta (JP)

A brilliant yet reclusive Force Metal researcher with the somewhat comical appearance of a stout Reploid platypus. He developed the force metal generator in Cinnamon's body and quickly became one of the Resistance's most important members outside of the battlefield. He serves as Cinnamon's father figure and as such was the first and only person she had ever known up until she met Marino. He apparently has not done a very good job of raising her considering Cinnamon is oblivious to concepts such as metaphors, sarcasm and the outside world, although he values his "daughter" more than anything else and will do anything to protect her. He also seems to disapprove of Axl hanging around her, or his experiments for that matter.

Marino

CV: Mariko Suzuki (JP)

A professional Reploid thief, a stealthy ninja-like female. Some gamers consider her a little odd, as she wears pink armor and has long green curled hair and unrestrained breasts which would not really help her be stealthy (Not to mention her boots make a rather loud squeak), but her extreme speed and kunai-skills compensate for her unorthodox clothing. She enters Dr. Gaudille's trap-filled forest laboratory with the intention of stealing his force metal generator, but finds it in Cinnamon's body. With little choice, Marino decides to just steal Cinnamon when a Rebellion Army member interrupts and nearly kills her. X and his team find her shortly thereafter and with her help retrieve Cinnamon. Marino spends the rest of the conflict fighting alongside X, using her quick-attack and thieving skills to great effect. She develops a sisterly relationship with Cinnamon, and flirts from time to time with Spider. Prior to the final chapter if you talk to Marino she will tell X the next time they meet it will be "Hunter vs. Thief" but then says she's joking,implying she will give up her life of theiving but then appears to have second thoughts about it. Marino's "Hyper mode" form sheds some of her armor and reveals a little more flesh, but the lighter weight makes her so fast that she can take a seemingly unlimited amount of turns in a row before anyone else can move. However, without improvements, this Hyper mode can only remain intact for 3 turns.

Nana

CV: Akemi Kanda (JP)

An operator for the Resistance, freed from forced labor in a P.O.W. camp by X and his team. She is a quiet sort, ever helpful and hoping for her friends' safe return from their missions. Her duties as an operator differ from those of a navigator; she never gives direct combat or map data, but rather directs teleportation and overall communications in the Resistance. She was greatly saddened by the death of Chief R, probably more so than the others. Her name is a joke on the fact she has two 7s inscribed onto her breast armor; the word nana is Japanese for 7.

Spider

CV: Nobutoshi Canna (JP)

File:Normal spider lean.jpg

Spider

A stylish, smooth-talking gambling bounty hunter who helped X in the Giga City conflict. He wears a metal black fedora to hide his face with a purple headguard surrounding the back and sides of his head. He uses cards as weapons, produced from hooked vulcan-like devices on his wrists. Spider's aid proved invaluable in the first half of the conflict, but tensions grew when Zero reappeared and took exception to working with him. Spider gained Zero's trust, however, when he pushed him out of the way of a last surprise shot from Shadow. Though his arm was damaged in the shot, Spider stubbornly pushed on with X and Zero until they found themselves trapped in a room that the Rebellion member Incentas set to self-destruct. Spider gathered his strength and shoved Incentas and himself into the electrified door, blowing a way out for the others in a blinding flash of light. The explosion destroyed Incentas and evidently Spider as well, and the Resistance carried on with his memory.

Spider had evidently been around for some time before the rise of the Rebellion. He said he had once "goofed" when he began his bounty hunting career, a vague mistake that somehow resulted in Aille's disability. Spider therefore must been a bounty hunter for some time with a particular history in Giga City. It was thus an understandable source of confusion (and romantic frustration to some) among the Mega Man X fandom when Colonel Redips revealed that he and Spider were one and the same.

Recent information has revealed that the real Spider was in the game up until the point before the mission against Incentas, where Redips killed Spider and took his DNA to assume his identity, hence the immense light source noticed by X. However, that information can be quickly and easily challenged with informaion from Command Mission contradicting this theory, some of which sees Spider make somewhat mysterious and suspicious comments before Chapter 6 even began.

1: when entering Tianna Camp for Chapter 3, Spider and X engage in dialogue. Spider complains about being commanded by Chief R, something that a man in charge such as Redips would not like, and spurts out that he's only willing to work because he's got his own goals. His reply of "to blow the Rebellion Army to bits" sounds like he just came up with an answer.
2: in the dialogue beginning Chapter 5, Redips contacts the Resistance to tell that he's made momentary contact with Zero at Point A6, which turns out to be the Ulfat Factory. The transmission has trouble, and ultimately cuts off. It is after this that Spider appears. After being questioned by X, his answer of "I've been… around. So, what's up?" clearly sounds like he's trying to come up with something or acting dumb so as to hide his real answer.
3: before leaving Giga City at the start of Chapter 10, if you go to talk to Marino, she reveals finding out that a long time ago, Spider was in a place where they researched copy abilities, something that Redips clearly displays when fighting the Maverick Hunters in his office and switching back and forth from Spider to Redips. This piece of information, unlike Spider's actual comments, can actually be considered circumstancial evidence, and may not mean much of anything.

A running joke revolving around Spider is the concept of him using a Duel Disk with his cards. This joke comes from the anime series Yu Gi Oh where people fight summoning monsters with cards. Spider was constantly criticized for his card methods up until the point the game was released, after which he became a favorite of fans, despite the controversy surrounding his identity.

Steel Massimo

CV: Yasuhiko Kawazu (JP)

A large Reploid in green armor, always carrying some form of axe, greathammer, or polearm into battle. The real Steel Massimo was a famous warrior captured by the Rebellion and ripped limb from limb for not joining them; the one calling himself Massimo seems to be a friend or apprentice or even relation who either inherited the real Massimo's armor or wears a copy of it. X and Spider find Massimo near the entrance of a POW camp, and with his help rescue Nana from the prison warden Silverhorn. Deep in the camp, Massimo finds his mentor limbless and hung by energy-bindings in solitary confinement. The old Massimo warns him that such a fate belongs to anyone who refuses to join the Rebellion. Massimo takes that lesson to heart, becoming a progressively stronger and more confident member of the Resistance. Massimo tries to be brave and strong, but deep down, at least in the earlier stages of the game, he is a coward towards just about everything despite his huge size. A portion of the dialogue in the game shows Massimo habouring feelings for Marino, and wishing he could become strong enough for her to return his feelings.

Steel Massimo (Original)

The original Steel Massimo was a large dinosaur type Reploid with unimaginable strength and skill. He had replaced most of his original body with advanced mechanical parts to further augment his strength. Unlike the new Steel Massimo, he was brave and couragous, and would never back off from his duty. However, his courage is what ultimately got him killed by Silverhorn. At some point, Massimo gave his armor to the new Steel Massimo, who rebuilt it into a human-shaped armor. Indications by Capcom's design works show that he used a beam-saber rather than a large axe.

Other characters

Rafflesian

A super idol dancer (It is unclear whether she actually is an idol.) with a nasty temper who tries to make a secret dance within a secret room in Tianna Camp that can only be opened with the Tianna Key. She escaped to the Tianna camp along with her backup dancers who are simply known as Belldonnas to practice. When disrupted by X and his group, her temper flared and she wound up attacking them. She isn't evil and is not a member of the rebellion, she is merely ill-tempered, and the Belldonnas are subject to her foul moods. Judging from her ability to recover her hp it is possible she has some supra-force metal, although she will more than likely never appear again in a game to confirm this. It is equally unknown because of this if X and his group destroyed her or if she was spared, as well as whether she counted as a maverick or not.

Duckbill Moles

A pair of platypus Reploids with fire powers, including a big drill (which they refer to as the "mechaniloid" K-ball) and hammer (the "crazy hammer" Naguru D). Within the secret room in the Melda Ore Plant (stage 8 in Command Mission), they possess a treasure, in the form of Zero's second, bat-like Hyper Mode transformation, "Absolute Zero". Both are rendered ineffective against the cold, which strikes as odd, considering they are in the coldest facility in the game.

Though they have not been clearly defined as members of the Rebellion Army, the one that speaks to X before the battle says that the Rebellion gave him the treasure to keep. They also have the rebellion symbol on their foreheads. They are quite the evil mavericks, as they have shown the maverick quality of going insane.

The Tail Clan

The Tail Clan are a clan of large kitsune-based reploids who discovered the secret to channelling natural energy from within, similar to human monks. They used this technique to project energy rather than relying on internal devices such as X's cannon. Their energy and strength was so intense that they were imprisoned deep beneath Giga City in separate rooms. (How they were justified being there is a mystery.) Each Tail looks similar to one another, wearing the same armor except for the amount of tails to match their name, which indicates their strength, Onetail being the baby of the clan to Ninetails being the strongest. They were released when Giga City was destroyed by Colonel Redips, and X and the group were forced to put them down one by one. (They are something of a homage to Street Fighter due to using an attack called Annihilator/Annihilation Hadoken. However since both The Tail Clan and Magma Dragoon from X4 use Ansatsuken style attacks it leads to the question of whether practitioners of this fighting style exist up to the X series.)

Manga-only characters

iX/RX

The Limited Virus created by Dr. Doppler had managed to infest itself inside of X after he had defeated enough infected Limited mavericks. While he was infected, the Virus fed off of X's darker desires and mutated into a second personality, which would take control over X's body from time to time. After realizing the virus was inside of him when he attacked Zero, doctors managed to isolate the virus from X's body and place it into an empty robotic shell to study. However, the virus managed to take control of the body and mutate into a reploid body of its own. The body mutated and Irregular X, or "Ikkusu" was born. iX visually resembled X, except his armor was green and violet with spike-studded wrists, legs and collar. He had yellow streaks going down his red eyes and had an electric-pink streak in his brown hair. His only instinct was to destroy all whom he considered threats to peace, as well as his other half X. X managed to destroy IX eventually. However, Sigma later resurrected IX with a more advanced body. His intellect was greatly enhanced as was his cunning wit. His armor mutated into a more evil-form with clawed hands and fangs, his hair was now fully electric pink. He renamed himself "Return X" or "AruEkkusu." Still hellbent on destroying X, he was determined to find a means of immortality to prolong his existence until his need to destroy was satiated. In the end, Sigma proved to be a bigger threat by destroying X before RX could get to him, which lead to RX choosing to help him rather than kill him. RX melted himself down and reemerged with X to form a new armor, which helped to destroy Sigma's new limited form. The power output was too great however, and RX's body was unable to retain its solid form. He melted and has not been heard from since.

Martei

File:X1kakiorosi.jpg

Teal and Martei

Martei is a brash, hotheaded blond-haired female reploid who loves money and fighting. She was originally a mermaid reploid and the leader of a First-Aid Team. In the third X1 manga, she wanted to save a sunken city from being destroyed by Launch Octopus, and made a deal with him: lure X to him, and Octopus would not destroy the city. She met with trouble along the way however, and was attacked by a rogue mechaniloid. She destroyed the mechaniloid, and literally crashed into X, who was briefly stunned by her appearance before she pushed him away. For the brief period they were together, X and Martei became somewhat fond of each other, Martei particularly amused by his inability to swim. After she delivered X into Octopus' trap, she went back to save him, only to wind up being skewered by Ocotopus and her body destroyed by his torpedoes detonating inside of her. After X killed Ocotopus in a rage, he managed to save Martei's "soul" within one of her brain chips and preserved it inside a computer.

Somehow, Martei was revived in a new, more voluptuous body with human legs, although she is now able to switch between a mermaid and human body. She has since become the leader of a group of Reploid pirates who steal from Mavericks, such as Bubble Crab. Martei, appearingly doing so for money and treasure (from Bubble Crab whose personality was meant to be greedy), is actually having revenge for what happened to her companions - Reploids in oceans killed from Sigma's plans. This greatly frustrates X, who since X3 has admitted he has feelings for her. Although Martei has admitted that she loves him as well, she continues to deny them to others out of pride, and only gets close to X when she is alone with him. When she was hugging X in the third X3 volume and Zero and Dr. Cain approached them, she immediately shoved him off of her while silently cursing them for ruining the moment.

Martei fights using a falchion and hidden blades in her gauntlets. Although she never wears the same armor twice, every armor she wears resembles a valkyrie design. She used a trident in her fight against Launch Octopus and had a fairy-like armor in her assault against Doppler, although it was destroyed before she could utilize it. She wears no cloth suit, which reveals her skin and a lot of it. This leads many people to believe she has an indecent personality, which couldn't be farther from the truth. (Except when it comes to her behavior towards X.) A constant joke associated with her is the fact she never wears pants, just thong-like leather underwear. She has not been seen since X3, where she was pressuring Dr. Cain to find out if X had survived Doppler's fortress.

Martei's name has never been confirmed with a proper spelling, sometimes being translated as Marty, Mary, Merti and so on, although Martei seems to be the name used by most Japanese artists. She has been regarded as Iwamoto's best addition to the X series, and he continues to promote her character in his current projects.

Pirates

The group of reploids lead by Martei after she was resurrected. They are a rugged, brutish group often replacing their real limbs with more archaic robotics. Like Martei, they all love money and adventure, although she appears to be the only female among them. Martei's first mate and second in command, although nameless, appears constantly near her ready to take orders. He has an eyepatch over his right eye and a striped bandana over his hair. He cares for Martei like a daughter, although she gives him very little respect in return. He was the first one to recognize her affections for X, and is constantly beaten by her for pushing her to be more open with her emotions while with him. He was nearly killed by Bubble Crab in the 2nd X2 manga, and was last seen picking Martei up outside Doppler's fortress. In X2 manga, they are portrayed as sea pirates, while in X3 manga, the group rides in a large air battleship when counter-striking Doppler Force.

Teal

Teal was a brunette female trainee assigned to Zero and Storm Eagle, the three of which became close friends in time. Storm Eagle harbored romantic feelings for her, but never had the chance to tell her. It's unknown what exactly Teal did while she was a hunter, her fighting abilities were never shown. During a maverick attack on a plane in which Teal was on, Zero and Storm Eagle boarded the plane, although they were unable to deactivate the detonator the mavericks had set. Teal grabbed the bomb and meant to throw it out away, but she fell from the plane due to air pressure, she died shortly afterwards from the combined shock and oxygen loss, after which the bomb incinerated her body. Storm Eagle blames Zero for being unable to save Teal, a factor which lead him to ally himself with Sigma. Zero somehow felt regret and could not fully confront Storm Eagle due to what happened to Teal.
