Vile

Vile (VAVA in Japan) is a villain in the Megaman X Series. Once a Maverick Hunter, Vile went Maverick himself and went on various sprees as a bounty hunter, ignorant of the law. He was asked by Sigma to eliminate X, but was killed by X, in Sigma's Fortress, after Zero weakened him by destroying his Ride Armor via self-destruct. Vile came back to life under the regime of the corrupt Dr. Doppler in Megaman X3. He was again destroyed by X. Vile's next appearance came in Megaman X8, when he was again resurrected, more powerful than ever, from an unknown benefactor. Yet again, he was terminated, this time by the team of X, Zero and Axl, the elite Maverick Hunters. In Maverick Hunter X, Vile is playable and is able to acquire his own Special Weapons.
