*** Or perhaps he could leave so he could actually help repair human/reploid relations and actually make a society where they both live in peace? Even Zero admits that a fighter like him can't change the world, and instead fights for people who can actually change it legitimately. X is a smart, kind, compassionate reploid who's wasting those traits on the battlefield instead of the greater society, where his legacy as Light's last creation could do some good. To be honest, it slayed me that Capcom just had X just sitting out in X7, instead of going to reserve status and spending his time rebuilding the world after the Eurasia Incident. It could even lead up to his status of basically ruling Neo Arcadia in MMZ.

[[WMG: Animal Reploids are on an even lower social class than humanoid Reploids]]
We know there are humanoid Reploids with immense power, so why bother building something as impractical as a ten foot mammoth or a dragonfly one when you make a normal-sized human one with the appropriate equipment? The answer is to make a subordinate class of Reploids, reflecting the relationship between humans and animals. That's why the first bosses are always animal types; they ''know'' they're on the low end of the totem pole and believe that if they defeat the heroes, they'll move into a higher station. And given the villains collective "evolution" mindset, it's also why they throw them at the heroes first: they're weeding out those they think are too weak for their new world.

When told to stand down, disarm and come in for questioning, he basically told X and Zero to piss off because of his and his troops' pride. Yeah, being forced to disarm is demeaning, especially if you're a bunch of {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s, but they're an army. They're not supposed to tell their superiors to piss off. Maybe he said X and Zero didn't have the authority to bring them in, if he said he's going to check with their superiors, something more reasonable than a robotic dick waggling (I'm assuming they refused to come in even after they told X and Zero to piss off, when the top brass told them to cut the crap and come in). Once it became clear Reploids would not do what they're told, even when they agreed to, humans became increasingly paranoid.

This is the guy who iced ''Sigma'' more than once, something even Zero wasn't able to do until at least X4. The reason he doesn't want anything more than a B rank is that he doesn't want the other hunters to feel like they have to compete with him, or he doesn't think he should be rewarded for causing all the kinds of violence that he was created to stop.

[[WMG: Had the Maverick Hunter X series continued...]]
Zero ''wouldn't'' have been the last creation of Dr. Wily. Instead, he would've been a normal reploid, discovered by the X-Hunters to be just clinging to life, and overhauled by Serges after the X-Hunters found some leftover tech of Wily's. Zero's nightmares would be revealed to be incomplete false memories to brainwash Zero, with various references to Wily being attempts by Sigma to manipulate X and Zero into fighting each other to see who was the best. After fighting off the anti-virus from X3, Sigma would've been so damaged that even ''he'' believed the fake story. Even after X6 and Inafune was involved again, he didn't really try to bring Wily up again, not even in the Zero series.

[[WMG: The many definitions of a Maverick]]
Trying to sum it all up:
# the old definition of "maverick": Reploids whose minds defect because of some malfunction in their circuit (you know, being cheap replicas of X, this tends to happen to most early Reploids. Also Vile, though he later arguably become type 3)
# Viral Maverick: Reploids whose minds defect because of viral infection. (most animaloid Reploids, Sigma, Gate (by Zero's DNA))
# Free-Will Maverick (or just "having evil intentions"): Just genuinely evil, like real life criminals. (Dynamo, Double, arguably Red and Doppler, High Max, The Nightmare Police (X3), Serges, Violen and Agile (X2), and arguably animal Reploids in X1, X2 and X7)
# Misblamed Maverick: Reploids who don't qualify as any of the above, but is accused as one. (Repliforce, for example, and animaloids X6, though (possibly) later they're also infected)
# New-Gen Maverick: Having Sigma's DNA, New-Gen Reploids can "wreck their own mind by themselves". (animaloids in X8, Lumine)

Actually, to tell the truth, there is no actual evidence whatsoever to prove that the events in question do not take place on a planet called Earth, but completely different in all but name from our own. In fact, if the story given by {{The Protomen}} were to be taken at face value and then further elaborated on, "Reploids" might very well have been the term the planet's inhabitants used for their version of the [[BattlestarGalactica Cylons]], and the whole planet is in fact the nuclear wasteland Thirteenth Colony that was encountered by the Caprican/Cylon refugee ships as they searched for a new home, a hundred thousand years before the present day...which of course reminds one of 93345, and 94533: since the Capricans colonized our Earth?

*** Actually, the original plan was for Zero to stay dead, but he proved too popular to get rid of. There's also an interview with Inafune on 1-up.com I think, where he explains the original series was supposed to end on 6, with Dr. Wily in prison, but MMX1 sold so well that Capcom decided to revive the original series. It's possible that Dr. Wily was retconned into Zero's creator just so he could stay relevant, add drama to the new story, etc.

[[WMG: The entire Repliforce in X4 were Mavericks.]]
[[spoiler: General's last line in X4 is "Sigma blinded me to the truth...". General has never seen Sigma on-screen; X didn't say who he was either. General has clearly been dealing with Sigma prior to the events of the game, but to the extent is unknown.]] After the Sky Lagoon falls, Colonel refuses to disarm because they were actually responsible, NOT because of fanatical loyalty. The loyalty part was just a cover. All the events of the game done by Sigma/Sigma's mavericks were actually planned. That suggests that Magma Dragoon, Cyber Peacock, and Split Mushroom were not any "more" maverick than the rest of Repliforce.

He's completely absent from X6, and the last time he's seen in X5 is when he's with X at the Zero vs. X fight. Either he was killed by Zero in a maverick-induced rage, or indirectly killed as collateral damage when fighting X. It continues the cycle of Zero attacking and killing his teammates.

[[WMG: The Zero Nightmare is the fake Zero built by the X-Hunters in X2.]]

** Or the fact that fighting Sigma ''just wasn't working?'' The only real way to stop the maverick virus was with a technical breakthrough: the wars were just buying time. Retiring from the hunters to work with a team researching his immunity makes perfect sense: it was Zero being sealed away to be researched to create the Mother Elf that defeated the virus in the original timeline, not Zero the hunter fighting Sigma. X was around when Dr. Cain was creating the first reploids, repairing irregulars, etc. Even ignoring the fact he's Dr. Light's heir, given Sigma's tendency to target scientists (or they get themselves infected while trying to research a cure), his age, his experience with the virus... he's frankly wasted on the battlefield. If Zero was capable of holding the line and fending the mavericks off, then it only makes sense for X to work on tryihg to solve the ''real'' problem. Of course, if one of them had to be taken off the battlefield, it would make more sense for Zero to turn himself in, reveal he's the source of the virus and let them study him, but Capcom wanted more sequels...




to:

* Reploid is a portmanteu of replica android: they're replicas of X, who is technically the one true android (Zero may count, unless Wily went off in another direction). However, android just means 'humanlike,' roughly. Early Science Fiction often used the word android for what we would call clones, artificially produced humans, like the ones in StarWars. 'Organic' basically just means molecules with carbon-oxygen bonds (well, for practical purposes) in chemistry. Organic molecules are very, very good at self-sustaining reactions at the molecular level, and nanites are supposed to be ''small'', so taking advantage of those traits makes sense.




to:

* Forget not doing what they're told, and forget humans being paranoid. Repliforce was responsible for a lot of deaths and Sigma was involved. The question the world would have asked was 'did reploids just help Sigma kill etc.' ''willingly'' or was Repliforce really infected the whole time, the way it turned out the people in the initial rebellion were, and the virus was even better than they thought? Either way, Repliforce would have started a witch hunt and seriously hurt reploid morale as well as human.




to:

* Or, to go one step further, General knew that was Sigma and the entire thing was a plot to take Repliforce and defect. Flee the war against the mavericks, desert in the face of the enemy. Abandon the rest of the world to MindRape to save his own skin, and that of his men. If he laid the groundwork for that in Repliforce, it would explain Iris' last words.



TatsunokoVsCapcom revealed that he was around post X7, at least, since Axl was in the ending.

to:

* There's also the fact that if Zero turned himself in, X no longer has help out there, and the Dr. Light AI's goal appears to be X's health and survival. He does seem to trust Zero, and even makes an armor to make him stronger, which doesn't exactly work with being jealous Wily made a stronger robot. Generally, it's Wily that's jealous of Light, anyway, and constantly trying to one-up him.




to:

** That works with X surviving as long as he can go back to his body and recharge in MegaManZero. It's once it's destroyed that he starts dying as he uses up his energy.




to:

* Zero would have to undergo a fairly radical transformation to purge itself of the virus. Then there's the whole thing about about compatibility issues. It might take a body like Axl's to be able to first copy Zero's well enough for the transplant, and then change itself over time.

* I'd be willing to say that the pinnacle of Light's Duo-Based technology was the Ultimate Armor. It certainly explains why its Giga Attack is the Nova Strike.



** This is the case even in the original X: Some reploids willingly rebel with Sigma, such as Chill Penguin and Armor Armadillo, but others, like Storm Eagle, have higher morals, and thus must be forcibly turned by the virus.




to:

** Unlikely: MHX was meant to be a reboot closer to Inafune's vision. Zero being Wily's creation is a central part of the character.




to:

* In fact, given his job description, and that what Sigma was suggesting was essentially high-treason, General might have been within legal right (even without ''knowing'' it was Sigma, wanted war-criminal) to have killed him on the spot.

[[WMG: Zero never came back to life after X5.]]
This one's related to one of the above [=WMGs=], but without the LotusEaterMachine. Instead, X fulfills both his and Zero's role, [[FightClub imagining Zero doing the things he believes he isn't strong enough to do himself.]] Consider that when Zero "comes back" he supposedly has a new saber of his own, and a completely different fighting style. This doesn't make sense, unless it's really X all along, using a saber fighting style of his own. This also explains why all of the plot threads related to Zero's past suddenly drop off for the rest of the ''X'' series.

It's also possible, that Zero's essence ''literally'' exists within X via the Saber. Note that in MegaManZero, Zero's memories only start to come back when Cyber-X returns the saber to him. Obviously, the all-important control chip, or at least a back-up unit, is housed within the Saber.

Now, the only question remaining is how Zero's copy body is made. Simple: At some point between X8 and The Elf Wars, X realizes that he and Zero "have been the same person" all along, either by the inconsistencies becoming too numerous to ignore, or by accepting the truth that he is a hero in his own right, and that he must stop relying on Zero if his own strength is to flourish.

[[ItGotWorse And then Weil digs up Zero's body and turns him into Omega.]]

X realizes that he and Axl alone aren't enough to combat this threat (especially if Axl has fallen in battle by this point), so he has Alia, a known expert reploid designer, apply all of her skills towards building a new body for Zero, utilizing whatever new technologies have been developed since X5 to make "Copy Zero" a match for Omega in combat, with the added bonus of being completely virus-free. He then returns the Z-Saber to Copy Zero, essentially restoring Zero to life. They fight the Elf War, and at the end, defeat and seal up Omega. Weil is tried and exiled into space, along with the dormant Omega.

Zero decides he should be sealed back up, not because of spreading the virus, but because his mere living seems to bring conflict. Giving the saber to X once again, Copy Zero is sealed in the underground lab, leaving the world in X's hands... until X is forced to sacrifice his body to seal the Dark Elf.

[[WMG: The Mother Elf was designed to end the Maverick Wars, not by killing Sigma, but by erasing his DNA from the copy chips of all the New-Generation reploids.]]
WordOfGod has confirmed that X8 is canon, which creates a massive plot hole with The Mother Elf's role in ending the Maverick War. Unless of course one remembers that Sigma's DNA is in every single Copy-Reploid, and even if they discontinue manufacturing them, there were enough of these reploids to build an elevator into space. And many may not be inherently evil, and given the Repliforce debacle, justifying the destruction of all these reploids is impossible. However, the fact remains that any of them could conceivably become Sigma at any time, so a way needs to be found to remove the DNA from their copy chips.

* The main reason he chose to "retire" is not because of the unscrupulous methods of handling the Maverick problem. The real reason was because a new character was going to be in the game, and Zero already steals enough screen time from X, so he decided to just call it quits.

He realized Axl isn't all that likeable in the game, so he came back.

X1: Two forms. The first form was not completely destroyed as the head was simply transferred to the wolf body, so no regeneration there. (running total: 1)

X2: Two forms. The second form was a viral ghost of sorts, and thus does not count as a full regeneration. (running total: 2)

X3: Three forms. This is the first time Sigma regenerated into a second form during gameplay, but again, the third form doesn't count due to being viral form only. (running total: 4)

X4: Three forms, four if you want to split hairs. Second form was obviously the first form without the cloak, and while the final version had two different bodies, they were likely part of the same regeneration cycle since regeneration is free if done within the first fifteen hours after the most recent regeneration. (running total: 6)

X5: Three forms. Opening boss, Normal Body and Wily Body. All count as separate regeneration cycles. (running total: 9)

X6: Two forms. Only the second form counts as a regeneration because Gate had to bring him back the first time around. If a Time Lord does not regenerate, they can be brought back via other means, this has ended up with them coming back wrong occasionally (which would explain Sigma's poor state of mental health), but it does not add to the regeneration count. (running total: 10)

X7: Two forms. Both count as separate regeneration cycles. (running total: 12)

X8: One form. (wait, what!?) Alright, two forms, but one was only a copy. (running total: 13)

Yes, you saw that right. Thirteen regeneration cycles. :sigmadie:

"But wait," you say, "what about Xtreme 1 and 2?"

Alright, let's go back a little bit.

X2: (running total: 13) It is somewhat implied (if not outright stated, I can't remember) that the Counter Hunters brought back Sigma. If that's the case, that brings the running total down to twelve. (running total: 12)

Xtreme 1: Two forms, but they were both inside a computer. Viral ghosts don't count, neither do computer reproductions. (running total: 12)

Xtreme 2: Two forms. Both would count. (running total: 14)

--------------

Yes, I know that puts him over the limit. Let's compare something though...

[[WMG: Sigma is a WMG/TimeLord]]
Now as fans of DoctorWho should know, each Time Lord is allowed thirteen regeneration cycles, and this limit is only exceeded in extreme circumstances.

So, let's count the life cycles...

X2: Two forms. The second form was a viral ghost of sorts, and thus does not count as a full regeneration. (running total: 2)

* So if Zero picked the gun off a dead resistance member, what exactly is Omega using then? Really i think the gun is his actual Z-Buster but under the different art direction for the sake of looking cool. Axl's guns look more like modified Kimber pistols than MMZ's seemingly futuristic sub-machine gun design.

As for why Zero can also see him from X4 onwards, maybe the Light program copied itself over to Zero after spending so much time with X, like a benevolent version of the Maverick virus. It couldn't create upgrades for Zero until it could study his hardware from the inside out; hence the lack of upgrades for him up until X5.
