** After X purges Wily's will from the Maverick Virus, the Virus adopts a female Reploid persona. Seemed like an AssPull when it first came out. But then ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive'' ends up bringing us [=iCO=], a female Reploid girl who turns out to be the Maverick Virus itself.

* AssPull:
** The Maverick Virus not being inherently evil, only being so because of Wily's influence, was this when first brought up. Though as noted at HilariousInHindsight below, it became less so after a certain update of ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive''.

** In "Fall of X", X becomes very similar to Copy X, with the main difference being that X wants the best for both humans and Reploids, while Copy X only cares about humans.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Averted, but the reason so many viral Mavericks and Repliforce members are [[AdaptationalHeroism portrayed as heroic in this fanfic]] is because it happens a lot in the games. We're ''meant'' to pity Repliforce and the viral Mavericks, but they did multiple crimes that make people see them as monsters. In order to avert this trope and point out how the Mavericks and Repliforce really should be portrayed, Cyrex pinned all the crimes of the viral Mavericks on TheVirus, portrayed them all as TheAtoner, and retconned all the destruction Repliforce caused in the Repliforce War (read: they didn't cause it at all in the adaptation). Sigma isn't an exception to this rule. The only Reploids supposed to be unsympathetic are:
** Vile, who craves destruction.
** Violen, Serges and Agile, who actively want X dead.[[note]] Bonus points for Serges for being Dr. Wily[[/note]]
** Bit and Byte, due to their RedemptionRejection.
** Split Mushroom, who tortured humans and [[UnwillingRoboticization converted them into cyborg]] ForScience
** Frost Walrus, Jet Stingray and Cyber Peacock, who are plain {{Jerkasses}}.
** Magma Dragoon, who destroyed two entire cities just to get a fight.
** Colonel, who loses much sympathy built up by the more benevolent officers (Slash Beast, Web Spider and Storm Owl) because of his KickTheDog moment towards Iris.

* HarsherInHindsight: Apply some [[FridgeHorror Fridge thinking]] and the combo of Zero's fight with Iris and the fact that the latter was created by Gate becomes this: people use dumb reason to hate a creation of Gate's. Here, for instance, they hate Iris just because she fought Zero. This example occurs n real life, hence why it's this trope.

Perhaps Wheel Gator, compared to the games, due to his CharacterDevelopment as [[spoiler: Spikesaw]].Spikesaw]].
** According to [[WordOfGod Cyrex]], he did this to Alia before she even was TheScrappy.
* TheScrappy: Cyrex most likely tries to defy this, only having such characters if they have potential to be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, like with Wheel Gator and Alia. Alia was considered TheScrappy in X5, but she and Signas are the only new characters Cyrex found interesting. However, he stopped playing the games after X5, and he only knows about X6 from some words (unless he DID play X6 between writing Lazarus Zero and Doppler Effect, considering 6 years have passed between writing those two sagas). He doesn't know that Alia went two steps back in X7 and three steps forward in X8, as he never played ''these'' games. However, he [[WordOfGod admitted]] he nearly had Alia be this. That said, Infinity Mijinion might still be this, unless Cyrex somehow rescues him from the scrappy heap as well.
