History Characters / MegaManXMaverickBosses

* PandaingToTheAudience: Though he might actually be a threat to the players instead.

* ALizardNamedLiz: In the Japanese version, the bosses' names are corruptions of the name of the animal they represent. This is shown the most in ''X6'' (see below) where the names mostly don't change overseas; you'd be hard pressed to find out what "Mijinion" would refer to.

* CampGay: Sort of. He would even say "How cruel!" [[note]]"Hidoi wa!"[[/note]] when hit with Soul Body or Ryuuenjin in the Japanese version.

* TakingYouWithMe: He tried this in the manga version of X4. When Zero enters the cyber network with his own A.I. to destroy the corrupt presence that has infected it with malicious bugs, he realizes that Peacock is the one who is causing the damage. After destroying many of the bugs in the virtual network, Peacock uses his powers to make Zero hallucinate and relive past memories, particularly memories he had forgotten, of his past as a Maverick. After a brief fight with Peacock having the upper hand, Zero gets serious and easily destroys Peacock's Tracking Shot feather attacks, and slashes him, causing serious injury. Zero says he doesn't need to worry about a forgotten past, nor an unforeseen future, only the present. Peacock then defiantly says that his "present" will be in the virtual world forever, and then does a "suicide bomb" attack, erasing himself and then spreading the erasure to the entire network in an attempt to permanently trap Zero in the virtual world. However, Zero is able to escape just in the nick of time.

* TallPoppySyndrome: Specs-wise they surpass all previous Mavericks and are comparable to X and Zero in that their programs are so advanced that they can't be analyzed. But instead of being appreciated like X and Zero are, the researchers who put them to work feared them and were jealous of their creator. So through whatever means possible, the researchers found ways to destroy (or bully into destroying themselves) all eight of them, though half of them were doing things that probably would have gotten them executed, tech specs or no.

* BeastMan: The majority of these Mavericks are RidiculouslyHumanRobots that resemble animals.

* 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 who poked around in extremely restricted areas and Metal Shark Player who resurrected destroyed Reploids unlawfully). Only Blaze Heatnix and Infinity Mijinion avert this outright.

* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Most of them were retired by sabotaged incidents or labeled as Mavericks and are killed on the spot.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Most of them were retired without them doing anything wrong to justify it, beyond [[TallPoppySyndrome their really high specs]]. Especially for Turtloid and Sheldon. Granted, Heatnix and Mijinion are quite assholes and Player's actions are questionably ethical, but still.

* VillainRespect: A rare case in which a villain has respect for another villain, Chameleon has noting but respect for Vile, due to their methods of fighting dirty.[[note]][[TalkingToHimself And even being voiced by Roger Rhodes, the same guy!]][[/note]]

* BossVulnerability: He is only vulnerable when he is firing, or after he finishes his RollingAttack. Once his armor is shorted out, however, so is his invulnerablity.

A stag beetle-based Maverick Hunter from the 17th Elite Unit, the same unit as his brother Gravity Beetle and X. He has little sense of right and wrong, making decisions based only on logic. When Sigma rebelled, he used deductive reasoning and joined the rebellion. He occupies a tower monument and converts it into a military outpost.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the Shigeto Ikehara manga adaptation, he dies fighting a Maverick Chill Penguin before Sigma's rebellion goes into full swing (though because that manga adaptation was cut short, it is unknown if he really was truly loyal or if he just hated Chill Penguin so much that killing him while pretending to be a loyal Maverick Hunter was an oppurtunity he wasn't willing to pass up. Every other Maverick, including the normally morally conflicted ones, was on Sigma's side all along).

* LogicalWeakness: Lasers are notorious for disrupting pilots and their flight equipment.

* {{Bishonen}}: Implied by his feminine look.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: [[HeavilyArmoredMook His armor]] protects him from all attacks even both the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Hadouken]] and his weakness, the Electric Spark.

* {{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/Teppen2019}} TEPPEN]]'' even makes the direct comparison with a card depicting him fighting Akuma himself.

* KamehameHadouken: Attacks with fiery hadoukens, high and low.

-> ''"Here, the remnants of the Repliforce are seeing their last days...To be honest, all I can do now is entrusting everything to you...But, you’ll need to convince me that you’re the man for the job...through battle!"''

-> ''"X, my boy...I'm a man of the sea...And I won't give the ocean freely. I understand I'm acting like a fool. I just wanted to have a fight with you, like a man!"''

-> ''"I don't trust you! Who knows what the Maverick Hunters and Reploid researchers are thinking...I'll end up being betrayed and killed again anyway! I'll get rid of you first!"''

-> ''"I came back to this world with a purpose, which he bestowed upon me. Even though I've disgraced him, I was given life again by him. That's why...I must fulfill this task, even if it costs my life..."''

-> ''"I couldn't do a thing to prevent the professor from going Maverick. I was forced to kill him because of my incompetence as a bodyguard. But I've been granted a second chance...and this time, I'll fulfill my duty without fail. I'll protect him, even if it costs my life!"''

* TheHyena: Not exactly a laugher, but he does spam his MadnessMantra of "[[PyroManiac BURN! BURN!]] [[NoIndoorVoice BURN TO THE GROUND!]]"

-> ''"Oink-wa--! You brat! I oughtta take the likes of you and...!! A duel! Just you and me! Yeah!"''

-->'''X''': How long must this madness go on!

-->'''Snipe Anteator''': The annals of history contain endless records of war...the "madness" will never end.

-> ''"Hmph...I can see it in your eyes...You would prefer to avoid a fight..."''

-> ''"Your world...Your ideals...are incomprehensible to my master."''

-> ''"Did you know that the earliest form of rocketry was missiles used for war? All of history has been spent making things whose sole purpose is to destroy. Missiles...Reploids..."''

-> ''"Maverick? Once again, you attach labels to me. What arrogance! Hmpf. At any rate, if you choose to stand in my way, I'll crush you!"''

-> ''"You're always so pushy...I’m glad I resigned my position as a Hunter. I don't want to be rude too."''

-> ''"Hey, hey...You’re in for it now! I’ll do anything to win! Game time!"''

-> ''"This body of mine...has already infected by the "poison"...I'm well aware that what I'm saying is wrong. At the very least...allow me to go out on my own terms. This is the end...put me at peace."''

-->'''Storm Owl''': You'll face the retribution for making us into your enemy!"

-> ''"Hmph. I can’t believe I've been followed...but this is as far as it goes. Here I come, X!"''

* CallingYourAttacks: Whenever he uses Hadouken or Shoryuken, he'll call out "Hadouken!" and "Shoryuken!" respectively.

* WorthIt: If playing as X, his FinalSpeech has him tell X that the evil he committed to incite the fight (and subsequent death) "was worth it...for a final duel..."

-->'''Web Spider''': ""They're not going to end... the conflict you speak of will never go away... as long as humans are imperfect, it stands to reason that we, created by humans, are also imperfect... as long as humans continue to deny this natural outcome as Irregular, and as long as we live in a world where pseudo-heroes like you are born, we will continue to cry out for the independence of Reploids... our relationship with humans was predetermined from the moment our first unit was invented. We Reploids are mechanical puppets that wander through endless hell while in this world..."

--->'''Frost Walrus''': "Oh...that does it, you're goin' down!"

--> '''Cyber Peacock''': "His potential ability...is immeasurable!? Unbelievable."

->''"In this silent land, where time has brought to a halt... Inviting someone to fight is too rough... As if they were to summon a devil... Then I, Toxic Seahorse, shall sink you to the bottom of the sea forever!"''

* TurnsRed: Literally, at a certain point in the battle, combined with BurningWithAnger, as steam will come out of...well where his ears should be during the process.
