Unlike most Reploids, X is unique in that his systems were tested by diagnostics for over 30 years before he was released into the world. Light as a robot who could think and make his own decisions without programming limitations. His helmet's ears each gain an 'X' shape in the center, and he has small black boosters on his ankles. His X-Buster gains two cyan plates on either side of the muzzle, thin black lines run down his biceps, waist, and thighs, and the ridges above his visor extend behind his ears instead of stopping before them. In Mega Man X8, X's body undergoes a minor redesign, besides the game's overall art style change. This mystery was addressed in an issue of U-Capcom, which admitted that the series designers have differing ideas of how X's hair should look and there is no clear answer to the matter. He also removes his helmet in the Rockman X4 manga, but the view is obscured.

In the licensed game Rockman X Shùxué Xuànfēng, X has messy dark hair resembling Mega Man's under his helmet. In some of his Bandai figures, like the Mega Armor series, X's head has no hair, with vents at his ears and nape, and an indent where his forehead gem sits. X is never seen without his helmet in most media. Early sources listed X's height at 160 cm (5' 3'), though his more recent official height is 165 cm (5' 5'), so his data may vary across appearances or he literally grew taller over the course of the series. The 'ears' of his helmet and barrel of his X-Buster are black around the edges with red lenses within. His helmet has cyan ridges atop it and above the visor, and a red lens sits on his forehead. His joints, such as his knees and wrists, have small black tabs on them. His upper torso is covered by a segmented chest plate with shoulder pads. He shares his predecessor's predominantly blue and cyan color palette, but is taller and appears to be in his early teens (likely fourteen or fifteen years old, given his initial AI setting and height, whereas the old Mega Man was about ten years old). X appears as a Cyber-elf as a supporting character in the Mega Man Zero series, and his data lives on through Biometal Model X in the Mega Man ZX series.Īs a more advanced successor to the original Mega Man, X's design is more detailed and mature-looking. Light, used X's general architecture in order to put Reploids into regular production, starting a new age of robotics. Cain, the scientist who discovered him sealed away by Dr. X was the first robot to possess free will, sentience, and independent thought, no longer requiring restrictive programming or rules to dictate his behavior, making him the first known Reploid. He is a Maverick Hunter who fights alongside his partners, Zero and Axl, to protect humans and Reploids alike from Mavericks, though X would like for nothing more than the fighting to stop.
