Zero (Mega Man)


 * For other articles with the title "Zero", see Zero (disambiguation).

Zero is a Reploid from the future of Earth 20XX who fights alongside X to thwart the evil Sigma and his Mavericks.

Early Life
Zero was created a hundred years prior to the creation of the Reploid race by none other than Dr. Wily, who also created the virus that would infect later Reploids and turn them into Mavericks. Though originally intended as a weapon against Wily's enemies, Zero proved too unstable and Wily sealed him in a capsule, much as Dr. Light did with X. He was awakened a century later and became violent and hostile to all parties, destroying anyone who dared approach him. It was only when Sigma challenged him that Zero finally met his match, but the pair ended up being infected by Wily's virus as a result. After recovering, Zero became a much saner individual and joined the Maverick Hunters, rising swiftly through the ranks due to his power and skill. Unfortunately, the virus soon saw Sigma corrupted, and Zero would be forced to fight against his old foe once again. (MMX)
