Mega Man X (character)



Commonly called simply "X", this robot comes to fill the shoes of Mega Man in his time, and there is much debate as to whether or not he actually is Megaman or a different robot. X was built by Dr. Light for unknown reasons. He possessed a free will and the capability to make decisions, something no ordinary robot before him had possessed. This was what caused Dr. Light to seal him in a capsule for years, and what allowed future robots built by X's design to go Maverick. Dr. Cain found the capsule where Dr. Light sealed him, and made many copies from X, called Reploids. He is one Maverick Hunter and is a good friend of Zero.

This rumor is not substatiated, but there is at least one rumor that X might be the Proto Man of the original series. Again, there is (at this time) no evidence to either confirm or dispel this rumor.
