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. X was built by Dr. Light for reasons unknown. 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, and what allowed future robots built by X's design to go Maverick.

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