2	----
3	[[ViewerNameConfusion Not to be mistaken with the X-Hunters from the games]], since there are both good and evil versions of them. This page is about the good ones. Note: the folders appear in order of their appearance.
4	----
5	[[foldercontrol]]
6	[[folder:In General]]
7	* AdaptationalHeroism: The team is mostly made of (former) Mavericks.
8	* TheAtoner[=/=]MustMakeAmends: They're one big collective group who either are or feel responsible for the Maverick Wars, and their long-term plan is to end it.
9	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The only ones that never end up like this are X, Dr. Cain (justified in his case since he's a human), Alia and Cadis.
10	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Each of the members has at least one sin.
11	[[/folder]]
12	[[folder:Dr. Cain]]
13	An Archeobotanist who discovered X and used his design to produce Reploids, robots able to think for themselves. When they started going Maverick, he helped to form the Maverick Hunters.
14	----
15	* AscendedExtra: He has a bigger role and appears more often in X Chronicles than in the games.
16	* TheAtoner: To a small degree, at least, compared to Zero. He was a painful subversion: ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero every]]'' [[NiceJobBreakingItHero attempt he makes to rectify that mistake, only made things]] ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero worse]]: Repliforce, Dr. Doppler, Sigma and the Cain Antivirus. At least joining the X-Hunters, helping the cyborgs and making Signas vice-commander of the Maverick Hunters (despite not knowing he actually gives this possition to [[spoiler: Sigma]]) weren't bad moves.
17	%% * BigGood
18	* TheMentor: One to both X and Zero. He acts as one to Sigma before Sigma went Maverick.
19	* NameOfCain: Although he's not evil, his attempts to copy Dr. Light's research has ended in disaster.
20	* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Despite his field of study being old weeds, Cain could still reverse engineer X's design to create Reploids. This reverse engineering was physically sound, but he then subverts this trope when he neglects Light's warning about morally testing the new reploids.
21	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Cain had good intentions in creating the Reploids from X's design, but not being skilled enough to recreate him 100% and not doing the morality testing resulted in the Mavericks. He then created Sigma to lead the Maverick Hunters, only for the virus in Zero to turn Sigma into humanity's biggest threat in history. And just for extra measure, his formation of the Repliforce for military police work to take stress off the Maverick Hunters also backfired into a full-on war.
22	[[/folder]]

35	* UtilityWeapon: Charging his Shotgun Ice will give X a temporary ice slide which he can slide on.
36	* WeakToFire: As an ice-based Reploid, he doesn't take too well to the Fire Wave, taking extra damage and even catching fire when hit by it.
37	[[/folder]]
38	[[folder:Airstrike/[[spoiler:Storm Eagle]]]]

87	----
88	* ActionGirl: [[DownplayedTrope She's less capable of kicking ass as most Hunters do]], but she did kick the asses of Bit and Byte.
89	* AdaptationalExpansion: Unlike the games, Alia's time with the Maverick Hunters before being a Navigator is explained here. [[spoiler: She was trained by Flame Stag.]]
90	* AgeGapRomance: [[DownplayedTrope Although both are physically the same age]], Alia is 100 years younger than [[OlderThanHeLooks X]].
91	* BadassBookworm: She was a researcher in Reploid engineering before joining the Maverick Hunters. Downplayed since she couldn't take out Chill Penguin or Flame Stag without X's help, but she did kick Bit and Byte out of Maverick Hunter HQ.

93	* HartmanHips

114	* EnergyBall: The weapon X got from him.
115	** DeflectorShields: Its charged version.

125	* HomingProjectile: His homing fish (the Homing Torpedo).
126	* LikeASonToMe: Jessica is like a daughter to him, so it's no surprise the reason he quitted the Maverick Hunters is to stay with her. While he told her that he acts like this because he promised Launch Octopus to, [[spoiler: he actually is Launch Octopus, and he promised Jessica's grandfather to take care of her]].
127	* LogicalWeakness: All of his homing weaponry doesn't do any good against a weaponized full-body shield.

134	* BoomerangComeback: His Boomerang Cutter works this way.
135	* {{Expy}}: Of Robot Masters Cut Man and Quick Man. Exaggerated with the latter, as his disguised form not only is named after him, but also bears a strong resemblance to him.
136	* HumansAreBastards: He thought this about them because they abused him. He was willing to forgive them thanks to Dr. Cain, but TheVirus made him change his mind.

139	* SuperSpeed: He's an extremely fast Reploid.

Well, no one other than Zero, but he himself is a Maverick Hunter Wily robot that's friends with X, and when he did question, Quickman told him to brush it off.

155	* CainAndAbel: She's Abel, with Colonel[[spoiler:/High Max]] as Cain.
156	* EasilyForgiven: Zero forgave her without a second thought for fighting him. It helps that Zero himself believes their fight [[ItsAllMyFault is entirely his fault]].
157	* {{Foil}}: To her brother, Colonel. While Iris was created without combat experience (although she does get some, [[TookALevelInBadass and she used it pretty well]]), she's an [[NiceGirl absolute sweetheart]] who accepts her mistakes and even [[ItsAllMyFault puts all the blame on herself if something bad happens and a mistake of hers was involved]]. Colonel, a warrior Reploid, is a prideful JerkAss who [[NeverMyFault never accepts his mistakes]].
158	* ItsAllMyFault: She believes that her near-death experience in the Repliforce incident is entirely her fault.
159	* OfficialCouple: With Zero, duh.
160	* SparedByAdaptation: One of the most important divergences from canon.
161	* TokenGoodTeammate: She's the one of Gate's creations who is an unambiguously good person.
162	* TookALevelInBadass: In "Fall of X", Iris manages to fare pretty well against [[InvincibleVillain High Max]]. This says a lot for a Reploid that wasn't created to fight.
163	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection
