Copy X

Copy X is a character from the Mega Man Zero series. He is a clone of X created by the scientist Ciel, and is the main antagonist in the first Mega Man Zero game. He has the distinction of being the only incarnation of Mega Man X who is outright evil.

Copy X, as his name would suggest, is in his own words a perfect copy of Mega Man X, although there are some differences. The most noticeable of these are his red eyes, which help to establish his role as the primary antagonist, and his distinct differences in ideology from the original X. In battle, he dons his Ultimate Armor, which changes his base color scheme from dominately blue to white and gold, with the exception of his helmet, allows him to change elemental affinities (with matching color motifs), and which allows him to use an imitation of the Nova Strike.

The armor also becomes adorned with an angel wing motif, with two wing-like extensions protruding from the upper back, an additional five from the helmet, and a final two from the sides of the X-Buster. The imagery here likens him to the Seraphim of Judaism, who were said to be the highest ranking angels, and this was signified by their six wings. His appearance also casts him as a hero and savior, raising his arrogance.

In his Seraph form, he transforms into a larger, reformed being. His lower body disappears and his arms become large and clawed, with six wings appearing on his back. The red glare in his eyes contrasts sharply against his seemingly angelic appearance. Two floating blue pillars also appear on either side of Copy X's Seraph form in A or S rank.

In MMZ3, Dr. Weil revived Copy X as Copy X MK-II (Mark Two) and assumed control over Neo Acardia once more. However, Dr. Weil acted as his Chief Advisor, to the extent that Copy X MK-II obeyed every one of his suggestions or command. The distinct stutter in Copy X MK-II's voice revealled the further imperfection in the second copy of X.
