Sigma was created by Doctor Cain to be the strongest Reploid of them all - a leader and a great warrior. For all intents and purposes, Reploids are equal to humans on a mental level, having the ability to think and feel, as well as have their own personalities and make their own decisions. Reploid Physiology: A Reploid is the next stage of robotic engineering.The new madman infected more and more Reploids with his virus, convincing them to help him conquer humanity and usher in a new era of Mavericks and starting his long and bloody war against X, Zero and the Maverick Hunters. While Zero was returned to the Maverick Hunter HQ and cured of the virus, the Sigma had been infected with it, slowly descending further and further into madness as the virus reshaped itself in the commander’s image, becoming the Maverick Virus. The confrontation between the two beasts of machines had occurred near the capsule Zero had been contained in for the past century, which also happened to contain the Zero Virus that had turned the red robot into a psychopath, which was now pouring out into surrounding area. Little did he know at that time though, despite winning the battle, he was about to start the war. Sigma duked it out with the bloodlusted Maverick and ultimately won the day, though he was severely damaged in the process, losing an arm and everything. With enough blood and oil having been shed today, Sigma decided to face this Maverick alone, who turned out to be none other than the newly awakened Zero: the final project of the mad scientist Doctor Wily, enemy of Doctor Light and the original Mega Man for decades. One fateful day, the Maverick Hunters received a call saying that a red robot had been slaughtering Reploids and humans left and right, and they had managed to track it back to a warehouse. These were the Maverick Hunters, led by the best of the best of them, Commander Sigma. Of course, when you mass produce that many robots at once, a few are bound to go haywire, right? Programming errors and short circuits in the electronic brain led this new breed of Reploids were deemed Mavericks, hellbent on destroying everything they could, and so a new group rose to protect their human creators from these raging machines. However, due to X’s dangerous ability to freely make his own choices, Doctor Light had to leave his masterpiece in stasis for one hundred years, running tests all the while to make sure the new Mega Man would be able to make the right decisions to help the people of the future.įast forward to 21XX and X has been discovered by Doctor Cain, an archaeologist who then studied the design of Light’s robot to usher in a brand new line of androids who looked like replicas of humans, aptly named Reploids, and the first of these robots was one by the name of Sigma. Aware of his approaching final days, Doctor Light got to work on his final robot, filled with the limitless potential of a variable to change the world: Mega Man X. The genius man had created a number of amazing machinery throughout his days, such as the first line of Robot Masters, and then the super fighting robot Mega Man to take them down when they went rampaging, but not even he could prevent death. Axle's design is based off Noriaki Kakyoin from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.In the year 20XX, the brilliant scientist known as Doctor Thomas Light was nearing the end of his life.Like all Maverick bosses in Mega Man X5, Axle's name is based off a member of Guns N' Roses, with Axle being named after Axl Rose.If playing as X, you will get Axle's spike ball ability and if playing as Zero, you will get his twin dream ability.
