Doppler develops a vaccine to counter the Sigma Virus, Sigma immediately takes action and brainwashes Doppler, using him to stage a new revolt on his utopic Doppler Town. Sigma's forms in this game are identical to those of the first game, even the weaknesses. Sigma uses the hacker Techno to hack into the main computer of the Maverick Hunter base, also sending Zain and Geemel to invade it as X entered it to combat Techno's viruses.

This form is weak to the Strike Chain.Īgain defeated, Sigma promises he will come back, but also tells he does not understand why Zero sided with X, as he points out he is "the last of the doctor's creations". Upon exploding, Sigma appears in his true virus form, appearing as a transparent wireframe, his attacks involving spitting out minor enemies found throughout the game as well as shooting a beam from his mouth. On his first form, Sigma uses his claws to attack, as well as teleporting around the arena and shooting electric sparks which home onto X. Sigma the retreats to a lower floor, where X confronts him. After X defeats the X-Hunters, Sigma confronts him, pitting him against a fake copy of Zero, which the real Zero promptly blasts. Cain works on reassembling while X assaults the X-Hunters base. His plan fails, however, as X is able to retrieve the parts first, which Dr. Sigma returns and orders the X-Hunters to retrieve Zero's parts, which he planned to reprogram to serve him. The best strategy is to jump into one of his hands to reach his head, which is his weak spot, and use his weakness, the Rolling Shield.Īfter the credits roll, Sigma appears on a monitor and promises to come back in a new body to get his revenge. In this form it will attack by shooting fire and lightning. Upon exploding his head will float and attach to a giant body called Wolf Sigma. This form is weak to the Electric Spark, but you can also one-shot him with the Hadouken if fast enough. In the remake Maverick Hunter X he will also shoot beams from his eyes. On the first phase of the fight, Sigma will attempt to slash X with its sword, defend incoming attacks and jump around the walls. After X destroys Velguarder, Sigma is pleased with X's progress and decides to confront him personally. Sigma laments X's decision to side with humanity, deciding to test him by by sending his pet robot Velguarder. X and Zero are then forced to fight the Maverick forces, with X eventually reaching Sigma at his palace. Sigma starts his revolt, with many former Maverick Hunters joining him out of loyalty. It is implied that he grows more insidious and vengeful with each transformation, with each successive plan becoming more and more desperate and aggressive. Although he has been destroyed countless times, Sigma's programming always survives and builds himself a new form, ready to menace the world once again. He often produces a second form after his initial defeat in a game, which frequently has the head (or the crystal on it) as a weak point. Sigma appears as a bulky, bald humanoid in most of his forms his most pronounced feature is a crystal on his forehead, and two parallel scars running through his eyes. Sigma instigates many of the destructive Maverick Wars, with the Maverick Hunters existing to crush Sigma and his minions. Under Sigma's command, the Mavericks grow into a legion dedicated to the extermination of the human race. He defects to the Mavericks and becomes their leader. Although he was once honorable, Sigma unexpectedly goes Maverick in the beginning of Mega Man X and rebelled against humankind (the reason for this was that he was infected by the Maverick Virus, which he received from Zero). Cain, Sigma was considered the finest of the Reploids (having been the first made) and was the first leader of the Maverick Hunters - peace-keeping Reploids who defend humans against their renegade robot counterparts.
