???
===Mega Man X Series===
Although Doctor Light had passed away by the events of this game, he built a series of holograms of himself which can be found by X to obtain information and upgrades. It was Light who created X, constructing him to be independent from the laws of robotics or any kind of pre-determine objective so he could make his own decisions without hindrance from his programming. However, fearing that X's unrestrained choices could potentially cause him to become great threat to the world, Dr. Light sealed X inside a capsule and had him go through a series of advanced cognitive tests for at least 30 years to ensure he had a strong understanding of morality.
During the events of Mega Man X5 when Sigma tricked X and Zero into seemingly destroying him in order to spread the Maverick Virus across the earth and the Eurasia Space Colony starts plummeting, there are hints at Dr. Light's mind being alive in the machines he built for Mega Man X, firstly when X encounters his first machine, Light expresses worry about how bad things are since the Maverick Virus is affecting reploids across the globe (which would not have been the case if it was just a recording Light made in the past) and advises him to take the programs to Alia in order to procure his upgrades, secondly if Zero encounters his first capsule, he will ask the late doctor about an old professor that pops up in his memory which Light explains that he might have known him if he saw what he looked like, lastly, in X's ending, Light in holographic form appears to repair X after a dying Sigma severely damages him with a cheap shot.
