Quint



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

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 exactly 37.426 years 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 pogo-stick type weapon that shoots projectiles at his enemies.

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).

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.
