Story
The story in Mega Man X takes place after the classic franchise.
Mega Man X (known as just "X" in many situations) was created by Dr. Light about 30 years after the classic series. X is a new type of robot which has the ability to make its own decisions. Fearing that he would turn evil,
Dr. Light put him in a capsule for testing. 100 years later, X's capsule is unearthed by an archeologist named Dr. Cain. With X's help, Dr. Cain created a new race of robots called Reploids. For a time, there was peace.
Later, a virus began spreading among the Reploids that caused them to turn against humanity. The evil reploids are called Mavericks and a group called the Maverick Hunters is formed to combat them. Originally, the leader of the Maverick Hunters is Sigma, until he is too turned into a Maverick. X decides to join and help the current leader,
Zero, in combating the Mavericks. The series follows their fight with Sigma and the Mavericks.
