Team Villalba's X-Group

Team Villalba's X-Group is the first Team Villalba's Reploid Group, which was formed in 2015 when Team Villalba was formed that same year. This one currently has 28 Mavericks.
==Mavericks==
===Armored Armadillo===
He is based on two animals (more specifically, Dasypodidaes and Doedicurus), on the Doedicurus Clavicaudatus (for his MMMHX design, an extinct giant mammal with shell that lived 11,000 years ago), and on the Screaming Hairy Armadillo (for his MMX design, a live armadillo exactly the same as its original design. The adjective "screaming" derives from its habit of squealing when handled).
He was the leader of the 8th Armored Unit from the Maverick Hunters. Though he is a stoic soldier who never disobeys an order, he is loyal to a fault, continuing to obey Sigma's orders despite the fact that he became a Maverick and rebelled against humankind. Sigma ordered him to capture a mine that is a prime source of raw materials needed to manufacture weapons
He is weak to electricity because it breaks his armor.
===Blast Hornet===
He is based on a hornet, not lazy like real hornets who only like to get Queen Wasp pregnant.
Blast Hornet is not a very powerful Reploid, so he uses agility and good planning to his advantage, flying quickly with his lightweight body when danger draws near and swarming his foes with compact bee bombs.
He was created by United States counter-terrorists to bombard the Middle East and kill terrorists in the Middle East.
He is weak to gravity because his wings do not move when there is 0 gravity.
===Blaze Heatnix===
He is based on the Phoenix bird.
Blaze Heatnix was specially designed with the ability to withstand extremely hot temperatures to search out subterranean hotspots, allowing him to freely explore those dangerous areas. Later he became a member of a disaster relief team to help minimize damage from a chain of recently erupting volcanoes. However, because Heatnix was so much more powerful than the other members, he would ignore his coworkers (seeing them as weak and useless) in dangerous situations, disregarding them if they ran into danger, leaving all who fell behind to perish.
Blaze Heatnix appears to be the only fire-based Maverick who is especially weak to a ground/earth-based weapon, despite there being both water- and ice-based weapons at X's disposal.
He is weak to earth dust because it can put out fire.
===Bubble Crab===
A crab (so useless) that he could not protect the aquatic zone from CDMS, although he belonged to the naval army, perhaps he was a failed invention from Aquaman who wanted to try to protect marine life, which thanks to Aquaman's superpowers ended in forgotten!
He was once a Maverick Hunter and served in the 6th Naval Unit along with Wheel Gator (the two had a strained working relationship and always argued). Being extremely avaricious, Bubble Crab's only motivation in life was to amass great wealth; he joined Sigma's rebellion purely out of greed, as he saw it as his chance to get rich quick. He was put in charge of transportation, and tasked with defending the Mavericks' deep-sea submarine base.
A remixed version of Crab's level music plays in Mega Man X5 as Tidal Whale's stage theme. It was put in place after the original stage theme for Tidal Whale was scrapped.
Strangely, Bubble Crab's crab claws are not located at the end of his arms, but rather in his shoulders, and they protrude upward in attack. He also has a second pair of eyes attached to stalks, much like a real crab. They do not seem to function as eyes, however, and only flash during certain attacks, suggesting that they serve to store or channel power.
He is weak to a rotary wheel saw because he can cut him, also refers to his bad relationship with Wheel Gator.
===Crescent Grizzly===
Mechanic Orlando likes this Maverick. He is based on a grizzly bear.
He is a weapons broker that sells illegal weapons from his secret warehouse in northern Russia. Grizzly happened to have a Crystal Ball in his possession, a part necessary for the Enigma laser cannon. Despite selling weapons, he seems to not like violence, saying that he is just a weapons dealer and that both Mavericks and Maverick Hunters are the same, too violent and overconfident. When the Maverick Hunters reached his warehouse to take the Crystal Ball, he was infected by the Sigma Virus and was starting to become a Maverick, wanting to die in a fight before he fully turned into one.
Team Villalba has like two bears (Crescent Grizzly and Poler Kamrous), while Team Rivper has only one bear (Bamboo Pandamonium ), and Team Rivper lacks a Reploid boss red panda-based!
He is weak to a spike ball because spiked stuffs are obstacles for bears.
===Crystal Snail===
He is based on a snail. During World War III he wanted to prevent the evil Doctor Jesus from exploding and activating the 4 atomic bombs by freezing him with his Crystal Hunter, but he was hacked since the Cyber Peacock's anti-piracy system stopped working when attacked by a virus.
His origins and motives are a mystery; regardless he guards the Energen Crystal mine under Sigma's command.
He is weak to explosives because an explosion can destroy crystals.
===Cyber Peacock===
He is based on a peacock. He protects other Mavericks, Mutos Reploids, and Pseudoroids from being hacked, but his anti-piracy system may stop working if attacked by a computer virus.
Cyber Peacock was originally an AI that functioned as a protection program designed to stop hackers from infiltrating important computer systems. However, Sigma has rewritten his program to make him arrogant and vicious, making him indiscriminately attack anyone accessing the network. Besides acting as a diversion to the Maverick Hunters, Peacock was given the task of testing X and Zero's abilities, putting them through a series of trials in Cyber Space.
He is weak to the soul because it refers to how computers are limited than living beings, computers lack multi-tasking.
===Dark Mantis===
He is based on a praying mantis, despite being a dark entity.
Mantis has the ability to move freely in the darkness without restriction, and the darker it gets, the more dangerous he becomes. He was in charge of security for an underground military facility with an advanced security system, but when he became a Maverick, he used the facility to produce weapons for Sigma.
Despite being a darkness-based ninja-like Maverick, in the English versions of X8, Dark Mantis appears to have a Southern/Texan accent, a voice with a German accent would have been better for him!
He is weak in light because light overcomes darkness.
===Earthrock Trilobyte===
He is based on a trilobite, an extinct arthropod marine that lived in the oceans during the Paleozoic period 300 million years ago.
Trilobyte was in charge of the Rare Metal mine in Metal Valley, which has minerals essential to space development used by the Jakob Project. When he became a Maverick, he instigated a rebellion in Metal Valley and gave the extracted minerals to Sigma. In the entrance of the warehouse, he tries to stop the Maverick Hunters with Crystal Walls before they can reach him.
Earthrock Trilobyte is the third Maverick in the X series to be based on an extinct animal, after Flame Mammoth from Mega Man X and Burn Dinorex from Mega Man X5.
He is weak for high gravity pressures as it can break his exoskeleton by gravitational pressure.
===Frost Walrus===
He is based on a walrus.
Short-tempered and rowdy, his destructive behavior got him marked for disposal as a Maverick, but he avoided this when General gave him a chance to join the Repliforce. When the Repliforce started their coup, Frost Walrus was pleased as for him it was a perfect excuse to riot as much as he liked. Frost Walrus was stationed at Repliforce's secret snow base and put in charge of guarding their new weapon under construction.
His Japanese name is derived from "kiba todo", meaning "fanged steller sea lion".
He is the first Maverick in the Mega Man X series to have two theme songs, and the only one who has two theme songs in Mega Man X4.
He is the first Maverick in the Mega Man X series to have two theme songs, and the only one who has two theme songs in Mega Man X4.
===Gravity Antonion===
I think the fashion to have Reploid bosses that have names that end with "ion" or "io" is already in place, among them are Gravity Antonion, Infinity Mijinion, Phoenix Magnion, Sol Titanion, Tornado Tonion and Volteel Biblio.
He is based on an ant, He worked in an anti-gravity laboratory. He was a very intelligent scientist, with a calm and polite demeanor. When he became a Maverick, he created a tower above the anti-gravity lab, which has a lot of switches that shift gravity. During his conversion he became insane to the point of denying the claims of being Mavericks going also as far as to question the world and the Maverick Hunters, and calling them evil instead.
Along with Avalanche Yeti and Gigabolt Man-O-War, Gravity Antonion has only one stage theme; the other Mavericks in the game each have two.
He is weak to shadows because darkness cannot be manipulated by gravity.
===Infinity Mijinion===
He is based on the water flea, more specifically, the daphnia species (since its name comes from mijinka, which translated into Japanese means daphnia).
He was a test pilot for gigantic, manned weapons. The photoconductive material built into his body allows him to analyze and process information and machinery with incredible speed and accuracy, equal to that of several super computers. However, Mijinion was often arrogant and hasty, and would completely ignore the testing program, which put many of his associates in peril. Eventually Mijinion was killed in a sabotaged test that was made to look like an accident. Later on, during the Nightmare incident, Gate revived Mijinion as an investigator and sent him to a weapons manufacturing plant. Once there, Mijinion immediately began constructing a massive weapon called Illumina.
Though bright, Infinity Mijinion was very rude and haphazard. He loved testing powerful weapons but was never concerned with the safety of others. Even Gate couldn't restrain his self-serving ambitions. Mijinion was also angered by the destruction of Illumina, which he didn't get a chance to test. 
The name "Infinity" doesn't just refer to the multiplying ability. The water flea that Mijinion is based on can survive almost anything. Daphnia are regularly found in acidic swamp water and can survive extreme heat, extreme cold, the vacuum of space, and even a nuclear blast. The background music for Infinity Mijinion's stage contains synthesizer riffs reminiscent of the song "The Final Countdown" by Swedish rock band Europe.
He is considered to be one of the most annoying bosses in the entire Mega Man X series if not one of the most difficult, as the number of bubbles and clones he can produce is almost infinite. There is also the issue of him creating clones after taking high amounts of damage, being hit by a charged Guard Shell (X only), and his unpredictability to use his spread fire that allows the player to reflect his shots to cause damage.
He is weak to a shell shield probably because to kill a flea, you have to crush them with our keratin nails.
===Jet Stingray===
He is based on a stingray.
Dedicated to his military career, he worked his way up the ranks to become a member of the Repliforce's navy. He had great respect for both General and Colonel, so when General announced his move for Reploid independence there were no question to where his loyalties lay. When the coup began, as a diversion he attacked a city's underground power station creating chaos to draw in the Maverick Hunters.
He is weak on ice because stingrays don't like the cold.
===Magma Dragoon===
He is based on a dragon.
Police Jesus needed help to defeat Adam that better than with a dragon, Dragoon could not defeat him since his fire powers did not affect him, he and Police Jesus surrendered to recover the leader Ingrid. Once the leader of the 14th Special Unit, he betrayed the Maverick Hunters, becoming a Maverick himself, all for a chance to duel with X and Zero.
He is weak to the wind because he can put out the fire.
===Magna Centipede===
He is based on a centipede ninja.
He is a former Maverick Hunter of the Special 0 Unit that was captured by Sigma's forces during Sigma’s first uprising and brainwashed. Now a Maverick, Magna Centipede became a cold, emotionless killer that would do anything to complete a mission given to him, even destroy his former comrades without hesitation. He snuck into a computer center where he began transmitting the Maverick Virus around the world.
He is weak at a weapon that throws junk, probably because he has magnetic powers and brings metals (junk is made of metal).
===Optic Sunflower===
He is based on a sunflower.
Sunflower was originally responsible for running Troia Base, a virtual Hunter training facility stationed in Europe. When he became a Maverick, he caused the management program of the training area, "Helios", to go haywire. The Maverick Hunters have to complete training sessions to advance, with the difficulty of the next area changing based on the score received from the previous area.
Optic Sunflower is sometimes mistaken as female because of his high-pitched voice and flower design. Because the series never came out in Japan. In Japanese dubbing, his Japanese voice was to be used, but Japanese dubbing was not possible since they looked like Porygon2 and Porygon-Z in the series and could cause an incident similar to the 1997 Pokemon Shock.
Despite being a plant. He is weak at wood / leaf weapon techniques, probably to a Maverick of light (light bulbs breaks with a stick), although in real life the sticks do not break plants.
===Shield Sheldon===
He is based on a giant clam, for his clam shell shaped shields, his body perhaps represents the clam's tongue.
He serve as a bodyguard for important people (mainly chiefs of other research institutes). Sheldon feels he failed in his job as bodyguard when Dr. Jim, a laser researcher he was protecting, went Maverick. Sheldon had no choice but to dispose of Jim, but his actions were misinterpreted by the Maverick Hunters that arrived on the scene and he was charged as a Maverick himself.
He is weak to metal because it breaks his clam's shell shields, since a real clam's shell is keratin's made, which can be broken by metal stuffs.
===Shining Firefly===
Shining Firefly was a reclusive firefly-based Reploid Doctor of Engineering and the world's leading researcher in laser technology.
Firefly rarely allowed any of his work to see the light of day, out of fear that they would be used to create weapons. One of his creations, the Laser Device, was one of the necessary parts needed for the Enigma cannon. But, due to the large scale virus outbreak he was already infected by the time the Maverick Hunters arrived at his lab near the Kuril Islands. 
He is weak to electricity because his bulb is overcharged and damaged, in addition, there are electric lights that bring insects and kill them with the slightest contact.
===Snipe Anteator===
He is based on an anteater.
He appears to be a rather wise, old figure within the ranks of Red Alert, with plenty of knowledge to spare about the Maverick Hunters and Axl.
Snipe Anteator's 3D model shows two thin tubes extending down his snout. These tubes are not seen on his artwork. His polar opposite is Tornado Tonion, who has a red nose on his artwork that is not present on his 3D model (since Doctor Jesus doesn't even know how to 3D model a nose).
He is weak for wheels that move because probably because humans used stone wheels to hunt anteaters.
===Spark Mandrill===
He is based on a mandrill.
He was a Maverick Hunter that served in the 17th Elite Unit alongside X, which was under Sigma's command. When Sigma started his rebellion, Mandrill blindly followed his orders and joined him in the destruction, being considered a Maverick. He took over a power station to secure an energy source for Sigma's forces and cut off power to the city. Because there was only light resistance, Mandrill leaves most of the fighting to his underlings, spending his time gorging himself on pure electricity, fresh from the generator.
Among fans, the term "Spark Mandrill Syndrome" refers to a boss that is very easy to defeat with his weakness, as Spark Mandrill becomes unable to move when hit with Shotgun Ice, getting stuck in a loop and becoming harmless. The term appears to have been created in 2012 by The Completionist during his Mega Man X4 review, noting that Jet Stingray suffers from "Spark Mandrill Syndrome". Its usage is not limited to the Mega Man X series, being used to any game with similar bosses.
He is weak to ice because it freezes him, since the mandrills do not like the cold.
===Spike Rosered===
If you believed that a flower like Optic Sunflower should be female, then I'm sorry to tell you it's not the same case for Spike Rosered. He is based on a rose. He is male by his original English name, Axle the Red, which comes from the lead singer of rock band Guns n' Roses, Axl Rose. So Rosered being a flower does not want it to be female like Sunflower.
It served well due to the fact that Spike Rosered is based on a rose, and there are guns (actually cannons) and roses in the background of his stage.
Rosered originated from a very rare and mysterious mutation between a Reploid, the nature control unit of a Ukrainian jungle, and the Sigma Virus. As the process and cause of this mutation could not be determined, it was believed that this strange evolution could create a threat more serious than the virus itself. So Rosered hid himself away in an abandoned military base in the jungle where he at some point in time obtained an Orbiter Engine needed for the Maverick Hunters' Space Shuttle. When the Maverick Hunters encountered him while searching for the Orbiter Engine, he resisted, stating that they would need to fight him to obtain it and that he doesn't care what happens to Earth as he would be able to steal anything he wants during the panic. Rosered also expressed disapproval of the Hunters' methods, citing the Repliforce incident from Mega Man X4 when playing as Zero.
As a plant-based Maverick, he is weak to fire, since plants are burned with fire (especially withered and dry plants).
===Spiral Pegasus===
He is based on a pegasus. He was a young director of the Repliforce air brigade, who survived the Great Repliforce War that occurred during the events of Mega Man X4. He looked up to Colonel and General and knows Iris. He then began overseeing an Air Force base near to the west coast of Norway, known as the Reploid Air Force.
Spiral Pegasus held an Orbiter Wing needed for the Shuttle Operation to destroy the Eurasia colony. However, because of being in the early stages of the viral infection and unresolved issues with the Maverick Hunters, he refuses to cooperate and orders to be taken down in an duel without hard feelings:
*If X was used, he always wanted to meet with him, implying he wanted to discuss about the General.
*If Zero was used, he questions as to why he killed the Colonel.
If he was fully infected, he yells out for killing out of revenge: General for X and Colonel and Iris for Zero.
He is weak to gravity because his wings do not move at zero gravity.
===Sting Chameleon===
He is based on a chameleon. Cameo Leon from Viewtiful Joe 2 may have been (at least loosely) based on Sting Chameleon.
He was a highly-skilled Maverick Hunter from the 9th Special Unit (Rangers), but his sly, sneaky tricks and sharp tongue left him unpopular and he was never chosen for promotion to unit leader. Sting Chameleon can blend into his surroundings and uses strategy to defeat his enemies by any means necessary; sometimes called a coward for this. Never one to pass up an opportunity, he has used Sigma's Maverick uprising as a means to rise through the ranks. Now, he is grimly protective of his post as defender of a front-line base in the jungle.
He is weak to sharp weapons because they can cut off his tongue (since no living being can live without his tongue).
===Toxic Seahorse===
He is based on the hippocampi, better known as seahorses.
Under Dr. Doppler's orders, he took control of a large dam to restrict the supply of drinking water for humans on Somalia.
His body is made of liquid metal, allowing him to sink into the ground and change his position. His weapon is Acid Burst, which releases globs of acid. His weakness is Frost Shield; since the Frost Shield's normal fire delays before launching, it can be used as a trap for Toxic Seahorse.
He is weak to ice because being made of liquid metal (liquid mercury), like anything liquid, it can freeze and become ice.
===Vanishing Gungaroo===
The group leader is based on a boxing kangaroo.
Vanishing Gungaroo's boxer theme is a reference to boxing kangaroos.
As can be inferred from X, Zero, and Axl's interactions with the Kangaroo Maverick, Gungaroo's personality is that of a manchild, although he takes offense at his being considered a child.
Magma Dragoon and Bamboo Pandamonium are also Mavericks that can be fought with Ride Armors.
Gungaroo is the only Maverick in X7 to have a female voice actress, and the second Maverick in the series whose voice is provided by one (the first being Split Mushroom).
He is weak with the wind because the fuses that cause the bombs to explode need to be lit with fire and the fire is extinguished by the wind.
===Volt Catfish===
He relies on an electric catfish, as some catfish species have the ability to produce electric shocks, such as electric eels like Volteel Biblio.
He has an incredible power generator built into his body, which he used to provide power to cities during times of crisis. Once a playful soul before the virus took him over, he now wreaks havoc at the Power Control Center, siphoning the power off to Doppler's research facility.
His Special Weapon is Triad Thunder, but proper use of Tornado Fang can prevent him from attacking much.
He is weak to drills because an electric power generator can be damaged by drilling.
===Web Spider===
You came back, Spider! He is based on a spider.
Before his military career with Repliforce, he was once a Maverick Hunter, belonging to the 0th Special Unit. When Repliforce began their war for independence and was considered a Maverick group, he remained loyal and was stationed in the jungle, charged with guarding a powerful beam cannon hidden there.
Although he is one of several Mavericks that are based on arthropods, Web Spider is the only arachnid Reploid in the Mega Man X series.
When his spider web is cut, falling causes physical damage, which he is weak for free falls.
===Wind Crowrang===
He is based on a crow, animals of bad pride. The blue crystal on Wind Crowrang's forehead resembles a Tokin, which is a cap often worn by Tengu in Japanese mythology. This might be because Tengu are often associated with crows.
He is Reploid crow-based who is a member of the Red Alert Maverick hunting organization and one of the Mavericks encountered in Mega Man X7.
It's implied in Axl's scenario that Wind Crowrang was holding back on his abilities during his fight, as he mentions that he usually swoops full-force and unconfined. Similarly, when talking with Zero, he alludes to someone having great interest in him, implying he may know about Sigma.
Crowrang's invasion of Morning Land and his defeat are inspired by the fact that the primary antagonists of the Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg game are crows.
He is weak to homing missiles because they are dangerous to birds.
==Trivia==
*This is the only Team Villalba's Reploid group that does not have a female Reploid, despite the fact that Optic Sunflower, Vanishing Gungaroo and Wind Crowrang are female for their respective female voices, although they are actually male.
*This is Team Villalba's Reploid group with the most Reploid bosses (with 28)
*This is the only Team Villalba's Reploid group with a elemental Reploids' total balance.
