Coming to Hate Robots

 * For more info, see Xander Payne on the Mega Man Wikia.

Xander Payne was a member of the military who came to defend Mega City when Dr. Wily reprogrammed the original line of Light Robot Masters to serve as his evil minions. Though Mega Man soon arrived to challenge the renegade Robot Masters, Xander was unwilling to wait on the sidelines and charged against Elec Man, only to be grievously injured. As a result he lost his left eye, which doctors-with the consent of Xander's brother Theo Payne-replaced with a cybernetic implant. This traumatic experience left Xander with a violent hatred towards robotics and all who advanced its cause, which led him to join the anti-robot terrorist group known as the Emerald Spears. Xander eventually became the group's leader, and later traveled to the future of his world where he encountered X. This experience led him-upon his imprisonment-to begin sketching various images into the walls of his cell, and to predict a second occurrence of worlds colliding. (AMM; FCBD #9)
