X (Mega Man)

X, also known as Mega Man X and Rockman X, is one of the main protagonists from the Mega Man series.
== Charactah Account ==
The first of a new breed of robot with the ability to think and feel, X was the last creation of Dr. Thomas Light. Of course, Light had experience with about ten or so doomsday scenarios courtesy of one Albert Wily, and decided to give X a Hyperspace Arsenal and an endless array of power ups in the expectation that, come the next one, X would become the world's new champion. In spite of his own pacifistic leanings, X did just that.
Throughout his many battles against Sigma and several other opposing Reploid organizations and individuals, X is always plagued by the many lives he has taken to bring peace to the world and is no stranger to doubting if his actions are righteous. Though he may retire from the frontlines if he feels he is not achieving peace, he can always be counted on to return to the fray if there's no other option.

== Trivia ==
* X has blue eyes in the first four Mega Man X games, although they are green in concept art. His eyes are green in later games.
** However, X's eyes appeared as blue in the Mega Man Zero series.
* In Mega Man X4, X has attained the rank of Commander (Taichou, lit. "commander", "captain", "leader") in the Maverick Hunters. In Mega Man X5, X's rank was translated as Captain, but he retains the same rank from the previous game in the Japanese version.
* In Mega Man's ending from Mega Man: The Power Battle, Dr. Light says that like humans, robots have to determine what is right and wrong by themselves, and need to research more on A.I. program. The research mentioned could result in X's creation.
* In Mega Man X4, X had the same English voice actress as the original Mega Man in Mega Man 8, Ruth Shiraishi.
* Although X and Zero aren't technically Reploids (as the term was coined after their creation), they are labeled as such because the term Reploid is used for all robots with human-like artificial intelligence. For instance, in some crossover games Zero calls Roll a "housekeeping Reploid" and the Servbots "Reploid-wannabe servants".
* In the original concept for Mega Man Zero, the main villain was the real X instead of Copy X. This had been altered due to not only the unauthorized creation of Mega Man X6, but the storyline also involving Zero.
** This was foreshadowed in X's ending of Mega Man X4, where he asks Zero to "take care of him if he ever went Maverick", as well as the pre-credit narration implying that he will become a Maverick in the future.
** This is also foreshadowed in Zero's ending of Mega Man X7, where Zero dreams of seeing X, face hidden in shadow, aiming his X-Buster at him atop a pile of dead Reploids, babbling "Eliminate the Mavericks!" as Zero wakes up. Zero comments that he hopes it was a dream. However, as it was created after the creation of Mega Man Zero and especially Mega Man X6 (the latter of which was the reason why that plot point was changed), it more likely foreshadowed Copy X.
* In the comic series "FoxTrot", Marcus Jones once dressed up as X for a Halloween party that ended up having all of the food eaten (presumably by Jason Fox, who was wearing a Jabba outfit).
* X has a cameo appearance in Avaturma, which is a special edition of the Brazilian comic series Turma da Mônica. In the story, X appears along many other blue-colored characters from popular culture. The story itself is a parody of James Cameron's Avatar.
