Wire Sponge

Wire Sponge, known in Japan as Wire Hetimarl (ワイヤー・ヘチマール), is a sponge-type Maverick from Mega Man X2. He wreaks havoc in the Weather Control. His weapon is Strike Chain, which he uses like a whip. He is weak to the Sonic Slicer. If the final blow is done with the Sonic Slicer, he will split in half. He is also vulnerable to the Speed Burner.

When Zero faces him in Mega Man Xtreme 2, he can make be defeated faster with the Drill Crush.

Trivia

 * Although Wire Sponge is not an electric-type Maverick, Zero learns an electric-type attack from him (appropriately named "Lightning") in Mega Man Xtreme 2.
 * Wire Sponge's death animation (with the Sonic Slicer) is somewhat a precursor to the death animations of enemies in the Mega Man Zero series when killed by Z-Saber.
 * In the base of the area the player fights Rospark the Floroid, one part of the tree looks like Wire Sponge.
