==Summary==
Mega Man X, more commonly known as X, is a primary protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. He was created by the brilliant Dr. Light, the same scientist responsible for the creation of Mega Man.
However, X is a far more advanced robot than those who came before him, possessing a level of sentience far beyond what had been seen up to that point. The scientist known as Dr. Cain attempted to reverse-engineer his functions, which although proved to be a task that could not be fully met, the sparked a generation the future’s mechanical life with the creation of reploids.
When the threat of the Sigma Virus arose, several robots would become Mavericks, a word used to define reploids that have gone on to maliciously attack living organisms. X would become a Maverick Hunter, defeating and taking the abilities of mankind’s mechanical enemies, but still retained a strong sense of pacifism.
At some point, Ultron-Sigma fused the Marvel and Capcom universes with the desire to dominate both. X joined The Resistance in order to wage the war against this tyrannical villain.
