## Description

**NOTE: This is not the official description from the game's official website, as the information provided there is inaccurate and/or lacks sufficient details.**

**Sigma** is the main antagonist of the *Mega Man X* series, often featured as a major threat and/or final boss. He is the most notable Maverick for his brutal actions, constant revivals, and dedication to rule the world.

Sigma was once a Reploid created Dr. Cain as his greatest work and would end up serving as the leader of the Maverick Hunters. Following a successful mission of tracking and neutralizing a berserk Zero, Sigma contracted the Maverick Virus within Zero and gradually succumbed to what would mutate into the Sigma Virus. Not long after the virus took control, Sigma went fully Maverick and declared war on the world for a new world where only Reploids would rule. Since then, Sigma has become the arch-nemesis of X, Zero, and later Axl, returning with a new form and plan after being defeated time and time again. However, Sigma eventually met his true end at the hands of a greater force.

In *Rockman / Mega Man X DiVE*, Sigma appears as a playable character, specifically his original form that was first seen in *Mega Man X*.

## Tips

* Due to his large size, Sigma has a massive hitbox, and thus cannot duck underneath enemy attacks like most other characters. In addition, he is also more susceptible to taking damage.

## Trivia

* Blade Dash alludes to his dash attack in *Mega Man X*.
* Parry Stance alludes to his guard in *Mega Man X*.
* Viral Spread is a reference to the Sigma Virus. To note, this is most likely a general reference as Sigma did not develop proper viral capabilities until *Mega Man X2*.
* Sigma's active skill names in Japanese are very different and follow a pattern:
	+ For Blade Dash, it is Sigma Blade (シグマブレイド).
	+ For Head Beams, it is Sigma Magnum (シグママグナム).
* Despite wearing a cloak in his character artwork, Sigma discards it during his intro animation as he did in *Mega Man X*. He puts it back on in his victory animation.
* When Sigma pilots a Ride Armor, his upper torso remains visible due to his large size.
* Sigma's intro animation has him seemingly impaling X, which is a reference to *The Day of Σ* OVA, where during the climax, Sigma impales X with his saber. The impaled "X" in the intro animation is revealed to be an Armor Soldier. This is most likely a result of the Deep Log's constant errors, as this occurrence is exclusively seen in New Generation Reploids under normal circumstances.
* Sigma's death animation is a recreation of his defeat pose in *Mega Man X*.
