Over 100 years ago, Dr. Light had been credited with
creating robots that can do any human job more
efficiently than anything on Earth, especially the hero
robot Mega Man. When his former lab partner, Dr.
Albert Wily, made his ulterior motives known and stole
Light's industrial robots to take over the world, Dr.
Light created Mega Man to battle against the most
dangerous of Dr. Wily's machinations and bring him to
justice. Since then, Mega Man and Dr. Wily had been
bitter and eternal enemies and had fought many grueling
battles. One day, however, since the defeat of the
StarDroids, Dr. Wily had mysteriously disappeared, and
no one had seen or heard from him since the raid on his
last Skull Castle ever built. Many people believed
that he died of natural causes somewhere, or maybe he
committed suicide. Either way, everyone was happy that
he was gone, out of sight and out of mind.
Even after all of Dr. Wily's robotic rebellions, Dr.
Light still stood firm in his belief that all humans
and robots can live in peace and tranquility if given
the chance. Therefore, he created Mega Man X, his
first Reploid, a robot that can think, feel, and make
their own decisions like a normal human being, in a way
they are human. But Dr. Light knew that if X hurt any
human being, there would be very serious and disastrous
problems. Dr. Light posted that warning on the capsule
designed to run diagnostics and keep X preserved until
he was found by someone worthy of creating the Reploid
race with care. 100 years later, after X was found by
Dr. Emil Cain, a prominent archaeologist/robotic
designer, he had decided to continue Dr. Light's work.
But he had ignored the warning, and so the Mavericks
were born. The Mavericks are a group of rebellious
Reploids that consider all humans and the Reploids who
follow them to be inferior. Therefore they must either
be enslaved....or eradicated. Led by Sigma and his
second-in-command Vile, the Mavericks had been
constantly thwarted by Mega Man X and his friend Zero,
and the battle still continues to this very day.
