Quint

Quint (クイント) is Mega Man from the future, that was captured and remodeled by Dr. Wily. His main weapon is a digging pogo-stick called Sakugarne.

History

 * Note: The reliabity of this section is questionable.

In the year 2010, Dr. Wily breaks into the Chronos Institute and steals the Time Skimmer (a device used for time traveling). Using it, he travels into the future (to the year 2047) where he finds Mega Man, living in peace, and kidnaps him, taking him back to his own time. Then, Wily reprograms him, renaming him Quint, a play off of the musical term "Quintet." Wily arms Quint with the Sakugarne, a jackhammer-type weapon that turns ground fragments it digs up into deadly projectiles.

During the events of Mega Man II (2010) and Mega Man V (2011), Mega Man defeats Quint. Although not directly stated by Capcom, it can be logically assumed that after his final defeat after the "Stardroids Incident" of 2011, Dr. Light reprograms Quint back into Mega Man and returns him to his own time (2047) using the Time Skimmer or a similar device. Dr. Light would do this in order to avoid the "time paradox" that was created by Dr. Wily bringing Mega Man "back from the future." If the future Mega Man, or Quint, had destroyed the past Mega Man, the very fabric of time may have broken down (and possibly the universe with it, since Mega Man would not have existed to become Quint and thus go back in time to destroy Mega Man). It can also be assumed that Quint's defeat is the reason for Dr.Light to create the second MegaMan, MegaMan X.

Note: Quint is not the same as R-Shadow from Rockman and Forte: Challenger From the Future, who turns out to be a prototype robot constructed by Dr. Wily using future technology.

Trivia

 * "Quint" is probably a play on the word "quintet".
 * Quint's quote ("It is your destiny") is a subtle reference to Darth Vader in Star Wars. Darth Vader said these words to Luke Skywalker, saying that since Luke is Anakin/Darth Vader's son, Luke too is destined to fall to the Dark Side.
