I would think, in a way, Gate's creating powerful reploids was almost a sign of pride... He was a genius, so why not use his genius? Powerful doesn't mean evil, and with all the fighting going on, why not make a reploid who could fight back? Why should X and Zero be the only ones with combat capabilities? That's just what I think.

Interesting point about Sigma back there, though. He wasn't evil, either. Unfortunately, though, he became the virus, so his story can't have a happy ending.

Unless they "purify" the virus by "corrupting" it to become like a normal Reploid AI again. >_>

And then we'd be stuck with Omicron, being the "Sigma" for the Anti-Maverick-Virus-Virus.

That would make X7's dream from X come true - "Destroy the Mavericks." ... "Destroy the Msvericks." He'd go all crazy over just one Maverick and may start attacking Zero and Axl because they contain traces of the Maverick Virus. Then Zero gets hit with it and stabs himself, Axl jumps out of a window, yelling "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" X is going all crazy over the fact that Mavericks exist, and Gate's up on a high ledge eating popcorn.


But I do feel bad for Sigma and Gate - both were innocent until the Virus had its way with them, and if it hadn't reached them, imagine how much better the world will have been...

Why did you have to step on Zero's head, Sigma, WHY!?

It seems like what he'd do, doesn't it? Then he'd whip out that portal slash move and warp them all to the great beyond...

It was said in X6 that Gate's body was beyond repair, but they took it in anyway - there HAS to be some plot hole that lets it come back! I mean, X got twice as badly trashed in X5, but Light did something still, and Zero's DIED at least three times, and he keeps on comin'!

But the left Gate... :[

I'm pretty sure that in the Maverick Zero scenario of X5 that Wily repaired X for some reason... but I don't have much to back it up on.

But yeah, X was hopeful that they could repair Gate, so at least it's an opening to bring him back. But... if they were going to, don't you think they'd have done so by now?

And I do remember reading a fanfic where Axl befriended Gate, as both were more or less outcasts in the Maverick Hunters... heh.

From what I've seen in the Maverick Hunter X OVA, Sigma was pretty ruthless to begin with. He's also one of the only known Reploids to have retained his full intelligence, and thinking ability when affected with the Maverick virus, remaining a strong strategist. With Sigma, I'd almost imagine that he had kind of an inner resentment of humans, and the virus just freed him up to let it out.

I must say I agree, Sigma didn't seem completely innocent to begin with. I'd say he has some inner demons from the get go.

I guess I should have said before that the storyline of the MHX remake isn't worth two cents to me - I stick with the normal games.

MHX can't be considered canon until MHX has been completed as a series. If you consider MHX canon, it conflicts with the rest of the X series as a whole.

It's not that I simply don't like it, it's that it takes all the story elements in the series that made certain strong points in the games symbolic to the characters as well as climactic in the game itself, well, not that great any more.

In the first set of games, Zero fights Sigma and cuts the scars into his face, and Sigma gets the Virus from him, causing it to mutate in his body and start the wars. Completely logical.

In this canon, Sigma already wanted to get back at the humans from the get-go, even though CAIN DESIGNED HIM TO PROTECT THEM. Basically, this is saying that the fact that MM and X turned out good was just luck, not their main programming. And X uses his bare hands to ive Sigma the scars? What on earth? It makes no sense. Also how Vile is working on his own agenda - Sigma revived him to fight for him before, but in this canon, why would Vile turn against him? No sense, none at all.

Also, if this is complete baloney to any of you, I haven't played MHX, I've just read the storyline from start to finish.

Nuts to the programming, Reploids have always had free will anyway.

Actually that makes perfect sense. Vile just wants to kill stuff.

In the manga, Sigma scars himself after blasting some guy with finger-guns by putting his still hot hand over his face, in a V-shape over his eyes. It's basically what X did, but more awesome.

Completely goal-oriented, you do what needs to be done in the most efficient way possible. You never let your emotions cloud your judgement, and you approach any situation with calm, yet strict policy. You're sometimes a bit hasty with your assumptions and this may lead to arguements, but you end up admitting your mistakes and making amends. Almost everything you do is directly linked to your desire to benifit the entire world.

I don't pay attention to MHX period. I mean, why consider that canon when the story is already...mostly laid out? If this is Inafune trying to fix plotholes then sure, I'll accept it. Until then...

I also don't take the Xtreme games into account since Zero actually CARES about his fellow reploids in that game, and is completely out of character. It's like they accidentally gave Zero X's dialogue. Haha.

I just realize how wrong my words are. <_< I meant to say that Sigma scarring himself is far more awesome than what X did. Super my bad. <_<
