## 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.**

**Vile** is a recurring major antagonist of the *Mega Man X* series. Outside of his debut in *Mega Man X*, he has appeared as Vile MK-II in *Mega Man X3* and Vile V in *Mega Man X8*.

Vile was once a Maverick Hunter infamous for his constant violence leading to many brutal incidents, which came from an internal abnormality in his electronics. By the events of *Mega Man X*, Vile willingly joined Sigma's rebellion and became a Maverick to exceed his violence further. As a Reploid built like a living weapon, Vile has an arsenal of tools at his disposal, but he also utilizes the Ride Armor. Even when X and Zero take him down, Vile is eventually revived in a new body ready for battle, with a new arsenal and Ride Armor to boot. He holds a deep grudge for X following his defeat in *Mega Man X* and often puts revenge as top priority.

In *Rockman / Mega Man X DiVE*, Vile appears as a playable character at launch and uses a refined iteration of his design from *Mega Man Maverick Hunter X*.

## Trivia

* Despite the game originally releasing in the Eastern region of Taiwan, Vile uses his localized name from the West rather than VAVA, his original name from Japan.
* In addition to his design, Vile's playstyle is similar to his playable appearance in *Mega Man Maverick Hunter X*.
* Due to model flipping, Vile's shoulder cannon changes from shoulder to shoulder depending on which direction he is facing.
* Vile's  alludes to one of his leg weapons, the Peace Out Roller, which is unlocked upon defeating Armored Armadillo and Spark Mandrill as Vile in *Mega Man Maverick Hunter X*.
* Equipping the modifier chip  Diffusing Light Round will make  appear closer to Peace Out Roller, albeit through a different execution.
* Vile's  acts similar to Bumpity Boom, Vile's default leg weapon in *Mega Man Maverick Hunter X*. The main difference in this game is that the weapon is shot instantly towards the enemy instead of dropping down from his knee.
