It should also be noted that, in the SNES version, Wolf Sigma is completely immune to the Hadouken, and is only vulnerable to fully charged X-buster shots and the Rolling Shield. This form attacks with claws, electricity, and fire, and can only be damaged by targeting its head. After defeating his first form, Sigma's head attaches itself to a canine-like, giant body called "Wolf Sigma". He also fires lasers from the crystal in his forehead. Sigma's attacks consist mostly of dashing and wall jumping.
Sigma will first send his pet, Velguarder, to test X's worthiness, before confronting him wielding a beam saber. After the end credits roll, Sigma's face appears on a blue monitor and warns X that he will be back. But, though his physical body is scrapped, Sigma's "soul" (the Virus) survives. X and Zero battle through the Maverick regime, and it is X who finally destroys Sigma, who laments X's decision for siding with humanity, feeling that Reploids would have prospered without humanity holding them back. Light and the base model for every Reploid, decides to join Zero as thanks for saving his life. Many Maverick Hunters follow Sigma out of loyalty, leaving Zero, who by this time was reformed and had become a powerful Maverick Hunter, in charge of the organization. Without warning, he leads a mass revolt among the Reploids, declaring total war on humanity, which is seen depicted in The Day of Σ. He gradually succumbs to the virus inside of him and grows more volatile. Sigma's advanced circuitry seems to do its job, as he seemingly remains stable for months after the lab incident. After this, he began to feel that humanity was keeping Reploid potential down, and decided to revolt against humanity. The virus had different effects on them: Although the virus corrected the flawed programming in Zero, it began to mutate and adapt to Sigma's own programming, eventually fusing entirely with his mind to form the Sigma Virus, which allowed him to manipulate and control Reploids, bending them to his will. Zero lost consciousness, and Sigma limped away from the battle, ordering his men to take the body of Zero back for study. The fight, due to taking place in close proximity to Zero's capsule, which was leaking trace amounts of the Maverick Virus, and the damage they already sustained in the battle, transferred the Maverick Virus directly into Sigma and Zero, infecting them. Sigma was beaten badly by the maddened Zero, but managed to smash the energy crystal in Zero's helmet. Zero, having suffered a programming flaw from his creation, was uncontrollable, unleashing wanton destruction wherever he went. It is here that Sigma encountered Zero, the last product of Dr. Sigma then left to confront it alone and personally deal with it, in order to prevent other Reploids' deaths at the hands of the Maverick.
While investigating, Sigma, along with his unit, tracked it down to an abandoned laboratory. One day, the Maverick Hunters received reports of an overwhelmingly powerful "Red Maverick" that has destroyed an entire squadron of Hunters (the Gamma unit).
#Maverick sigma mega man x series
This does not necessarily mean the logo is a reference to Wily it might be a reference to how the symbol itself is often used as a symbol for villains of the Mega Man series in general. The symbol for Sigma, "Σ", looks similar to a capital "W" turned at a 90° angle the letter W is the insignia of Dr. The Maverick logo is actually a stylized version of the Greek letter Sigma. It is implied that he grows more insane with each transformation. 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. Sigma appears as a tall, bald humanoid in most of his forms. He defects to the Mavericks and assumes the role of their leader.
Although he was once honorable, Sigma unexpectedly goes berserk during Mega Man X and rebels against humankind (the cause of this was later revealed to be coming in contact with the Maverick Virus). Cain, Sigma was considered the finest of the Reploids and was the first leader of the Maverick Hunters, peace-keeping androids who defend humans against their renegade counterparts.
