Epsilon

"I will not run from this fight. For I know that this bridge must be crossed to achieve our ideal. They will tremble before the power of Epsilon!"

- Epsilon

Epsilon (イプシロン) is the "Unknown Energy Manipulator: Test Model" from Mega Man X: Command Mission. He serves as the leader of the Rebellion Army and acts as the game's antagonist up until the final chapter.

History
Epsilon masterminded the revolt on Gigantis Island and is the leader of the Rebellion Forces. Proud and relaxed, he is usually very stoic and quiet, his presence accentuated in this vein by his unprecedented (for a Reploid) African features. Epsilon was the only Reploid to survive the Supra Force Metal infusion experiments, giving him heightened intelligence and strength capabilities. All other volunteers in the experiment either went mad (maverick) or perished outright. Though Epsilon retained his sanity, he realized he could try to reproduce the same results that he had on other Reploids, and thus staged a revolt for Reploid Freedom, believing that Reploids could evolve past what humans had made them to be, and become more advanced. He led the Rebellion with great charisma and leadership, so much that Scarface and Ferham were willing to put their lives at stake for him. His body also still contains a sizable chunk of Supra Force Metal from the experiments, hidden underneath his black torn cloak which is reminiscent of X6's Reborn Sigma. The tubes on his shoulders are also reminiscent of the X7 Professor Sigma.

Throughout the game, Epsilon makes attempts to control Giga City's resources while crushing the Resistance that opposes him. Realizing he needs force to make others listen to his ideals, he resorts to creating a missile armed with Supra Force Metal to keep his foes at bay. Eventually, X and his team make their way into his fortress to confront him. After Scarface falls in his name, Epsilon takes them on himself only to lose. As he tries to continue fighting, X brings him down with his buster.

After the end of the game, Epsilon was deferred of all Maverick charges posthumously, most likely due to the restraint he showed in not killing any innocents during his activities (having banished the humans from Giga City with no harm, simply forbidding them to return) and the fact that his whole Maverick status came about as a result of Redips' manipulation of events.

Abilities
As a result of Supra Force Metal testing, Epsilon is extraordinarily strong and durable, as it took six Reploids to take him down. Using his implanted Supra Force Metal grants him even more devastating attacks, as well as alternating resistance to Combat and Shot attacks and regeneration capabilities until his Supra Force Metal output has been weakened by damage.

Trivia

 * Epsilon bears a few resemblances to Sigma as not only do they have names after letters of the Greek alphabet, but they are also voiced by Canadian voice actor Dave Pettitt.
