History Characters / MegaManXMaverickBosses

->''"That right! I'll wipe away my shame with your life!''

->''"Caw caw caw! Not only did you uncover the sky, which I hated, but you even shot down the missile! Damn you, X... You piss me off to the highest degree!"''

-> ''"[[ApologeticAttacker Forgive me]], X...I...I must defeat you!"''

-> ''"I don't like thinking either...Maybe we can find the answer together...In battle!"''

* TragicVillain: Out of the eight of them, half of them (Blizzard Wolfang, Commander Yammark, Rainy Turtloid, and Shield Sheldon) are completely sympathetic characters who did nothing wrong. Two others are more morally ambiguous without reaching outright evil status (Ground Scaravich who was a thief and Metal Shark Player who resurrected destroyed Reploids unlawfully). Only Blaze Heatnix and Infinity Mijinion avert this outright.

** The bosses of Repliforce were not infected and brainwashed by the Sigma Virus, only becoming Maverick due to JustFollowingOrders from superiors that were branded Maverick, although some such as Frost Walrus had very questionable behavior before they joined.

* BladeOnAStick: What Zero will get from him.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Will do an upwards attack every single time X goes directly above him. Thing is, this attack forces him to drop his shield, meaning a player who's mastered X's aerial movement can literally compel Bubble Crab to drop his (otherwise only vulnerable to his weakness) shield as much as they want.

* LogicalWeakness: A shell or crystal is not gonna protect you from magnetic explosives.

* TimeMaster: Subverted; while he looks like he's slowing down time, the manga shows that he actually causes crystals to form around X's body and hamper his movements. Charged Crystal Hunter naturally does the same, giving you the illusion of slowing the enemy movements.

* WhipItGood: Can use vine whips that can entangle the player character and hurt them continuously.

* OffModel: In Warfly's character sheet, it's detailed that he takes the wings off his head to use as blades. This is reflected during the initial cutscene, where he has blades in hand and no wings on his head. But after jumping into the water once, he emerges with both wings ''and'' blades.

A whale-based Reploid who serves as both the curator of an oceanic museum and the commander of a maritime garrison. His stubbornness and sense of responsibility for the ocean has brought him to frequent arguments with the Repliforce Navy. Whale guards the North Atlanic Ocean, which is needed to produce the Hydrogen necessary for the Enigma laser cannon. However, by the time the Hunters find him, he has already been infected with the Sigma Virus and requests to die in battle.

* {{Expy}}: He serves as one for [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]]. Both of them have a BloodKnight nature, have necklaces of large beads around their necks, have "Heavenly Sky" symbols, and perform similar attacks such as the Hadouken, Shoryuken, Tenmakujinkyaku, and Tenma Gou Zankuu. The manga adaptation of X4 even has him adopt some of Akuma's personality traits, and ''[[{{VideoGame/Teppen}} TEPPEN]]'' even makes the direct comparison with a card depicting him fighting Akuma himself.

* WarmUpBoss: Another simple-to-fight boss, like Blizzard Buffalo. Plus, Tornado Fang is required to collect some upgrades.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: He is a penguin robot with the power of frost.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed;]] for some reason, all of his sprites are drawn in a profile view, rather than the more traditional 3/4ths view that most other Maverick boss sprites use.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Like Blaze Heatnix, he exhibited Maverich behavior even in the days before the Nightmare Investigators turned Maverick. His one redeeming trait is that, unlike Heatnix, his actions never got anyone killed, though that was more just dumb luck than any prudence on Mijinion's part.

* JetPack: As revealed in the ''X2'' manga, Ostrich can fly with a pair built-in jet engines on his back.

->''"Overconfident as ever, I see! How's that? Nice armor, right? Your weapons are no match for me! I even this room custom-made for your execution. Mr. Doppler is so generous!"''

->''"You don't even know what you're talking about. Don't tell me what to do with art."''

->''"As overconfident as always, I see! What do you think? Pretty stylish armor, isn't it? Your weapons are nothing compared to mine. This room is custom-made for your execution. Master Doppler is so generous."''

->''"Which part you didn't understand? Please don't interfere in my work of art."''

->''"I won't let you go through Master Doppler!"''
