Sigma/Archie Comics

This article is about Sigma in the Archie Comics series.

Mega Man 8: Redemption
The Reploid Sigma first appeared in issue 35's story "The X Factor Part 2," where he was the leader of the Maverick Hunters for two months, having already his fight with Zero, and also has a talk with X regarding the possibility of joining them.

Mega Man 9: Dawn of X
In Issue 39, Sigma appears again after the Wily Walker goes on a rampage, dispatching Zero and Vile's Hunter companies to challenge the Walker while he goes to Dr. Cain for information. Upon learning where on the Walker its chemical weapons are located, Sigma joins his two subordinates and X in confronting the weapons platform, unaware that the addition of his presence prompts the Wily Walker to ready its chemical weapons payload. After the Walker is taken down, he congratulates them on a job well done. However, he agrees with Vile that Reploids are superior to humans in many ways, which, while he says is why it's up to the Hunters to protect humans, foreshadows his eventual change to a Maverick.

Worlds Unite
Sigma would later feature as one of the villains-if not the main villain-of the Worlds Unite crossover event linking the story lines of Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man X, and Sonic Boom. Some time between the events of Mega Man X7 and X8, the Maverick Hunters launched a massive assault on his latest fortress with the intent of wiping him out for good. However, he had also discovered the Genesis Portals and intended to scout out some worlds to take over, with the ultimate goal being to become a god over all of the multiverse. He ultimately settled on Sonic's world, as he decided it was easiest to conquer due to Dr. Eggman's abuse of the Deadly Six making them very easy for them to turn to his side. He then disappeared through one of the portals just as X came in to end him, although not before cryptically hinting that he had only just begun his conquest of worlds. After traveling to Sonic's universe and meeting Dr. Eggman and the Deadly Six, he forces Eggman and Dr. Wily to assist him by turning a captured Sonic and Mega Man into Sonic Man and M'egga Man. Sigma himself is also upgraded, gaining new armor and abilities.

Short Circuits
Sigma also appears in several Short Circuits, beginning in issue 35 where Mega Man X offered to trade him for Mega Man's nemesis of Dr. Wily after his counterpart complained that Dr. Wily was the worst person he ever encountered. Upon seeing Sigma, Mega Man immediately took back his complaints about Dr. Wily. He returned for Issue 39's strip, where he extolled his pet Velguarder as a robot dog superior to Rush and Treble.
