Spark Mandrill

Spark Mandrill, known in Japan as Spark Mandriller (スパーク・マンドリラー), is a mandrill-type Maverick from Mega Man X. He was a Maverick Hunter that served in the 17th Elite, which was under Sigma's command. Under the virus, he 'logically' decided to follow Sigma. He wasn't aware of the Virus's influence.

As his name implies, he has an Electric weapon, known as Electric Spark. Mandrill's weakness is the Shotgun Ice; in fact, it can freeze Mandrill, forcing a repeat of his action cycle. This quality makes Mandrill an infamously easy Maverick to defeat, as players can simply freeze him, wait, and repeat.

Maverick Hunter X Bio
LIGHTNING KING OF THE BULLET FISTS

Comes from the same 17th Battalion as X. Possesses immense strength and a powerful electrical shock attack, but doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed. He has obediently followed Sigma, his superior, into the rebellion. He has attacked the city's electrical power stations, bringing the city to a halt, and has already taken control. He wreaks whatever damage he feels like, and leaves it to his subordinates to clean up the mess.

Electric Spark

Creates high-pressure voltage within the Buster and fires it. If the electric spark hits an enemy or a hard surface it splits in half, ricocheting up and down in opposite directions.

Other media

 * Spark Mandrill appeared with Vile in the "Mega X" episode from the Mega Man animated series. He only speaks three lines in the whole episode, so he doesn't get much personality. When he speaks, he uses a Russian accent. Like Vile, he's depicted as being more then a match for every robot in the present, with Mega Man being unable to even damage him. He was however, no match for Mega Man X.


 * Spark Mandrill also appears in the Rockman X manga, where he is the second Maverick fought by X, and Sigma used a holographic machine to kill him after his defeat.


 * In the carddas Mega Mission 2, he is revived as "Spark Mandriller L". He is now dark blue with black, red and yellow details, his shoulders has drills instead of lights, and he has spikes in the back of his hands, which seens to have joints to move to the front of the hand.



Trivia
