Mega Man X Command Mission/Characters
This page deals with characters from Mega Man X Command Mission. As the game is more plot heavy than most Mega Man games; Spoilers will not be hidden. Read at your own risk.
For characters from the main Mega Man X games, see here. X, Zero and Axl's pages should not be duplicated here.
The Resistance
- Spider
The first character that joins X is Spider, a Bounty Hunter with a gambling motif who at first is looking to collect on X's head. After seeing Aile's core, he joins X due to Aile being a former partner of his. When the party are attacked by Shadow, he takes a shot intended for Zero, ultimately convincing Zero to rejoin the party. Shortly after, when they are trapped by Incentas, Spider sacrifices himself to allow the party to escape... Or does he? After the fight with Ferham, we see Botos being attacked by a mystery person, one who has the same voice as Spider...
- Bounty Hunter
- Death Dealer
- The Gambler
- Heel Face Turn
- The Lancer: Replaces Zero in this regard, since they're not on the same team for very long.
- The Mole
- Smug Snake: Although slightly less when he joins the team.
- Steel Massimo
Steel Massimo is the name of two characters: a hero who refused to join the Rebellion and so was captured and tortured, and a player character who took up the real Massimo's armour and name. This second Massimo joins X and Spider when they infiltrate Tiana Camp in order to rescue Nana. What he lacks in courage he makes up in determination.
- An Axe to Grind
- Berserk Button: Insulting the original Massimo.
"Feeble Massimo?! You Sunnova-!"
- The Big Guy

- Although he's weak to all three Elemental Powers.
- No Name Given
- Marino
A thief looking to steal the Force Metal Generator from Gaudille's lab; she ends up befiending the naive Cinnamon, who reveals that she has the Force Metal Generator built into her. Marino decides she has to "steal" Cinnamon, but gets attacked by Dr. Psyche. She then joins X's team, because the Cadre are stealing precious valuables she could be stealing!
- Cinnamon
A young reploid who lives a sheltered life in Doctor Gaudille's lab, created to house his Force Metal Generator invention. Although she's naive and shy, she's the one who convinces Guadille to join X against the Cadre because she wants to make her own decisions and help her new friends.

- Barrier Maiden
- Cheerful Child
- The Medic
- Power Fist
- Power Gives You Wings
- Zettai Ryouiki

A platypus Reploid who developed the Force Metal Generator and built Cinnamon. He's determined to stay out of the conflict between X and the Cadre, but Cinnamon eventually convinces him to join the cause.
- Actual Pacifist: He refused to join the Resistance because he didn't want his inventions to be used for war. Cinnamon convinces him anyway.
- Exclusively Evil: Averted here; he is probably one of the only animal-type Reploids in the series that is not a maverick.
- Overprotective Dad
- The Smart Guy
- Chief R
The leader of the Resistance. He was initally held hostage by Wild Jango until X freed him, after which he assumed command and assisted the team with his clever strategies and deep knowledge of Giga City. He was killed when signalling the transport ship that was supposed to take the Hunters home opened fire. His pet bird still survives to the ending.
- Mission Control
- Pirate Parrot: oddly enough, for no explained reason.
- Reasonable Authority Figure
- Stealth Pun: See the mechaniloid bird on his shoulder? Think what his name sounds like.

- Brought to You by The Letter "S"/Seven Is Nana: Her chestplate features two 7's on it.
- Mission Control
- Emotionless Girl: While at Tiana Camp.
- Aile
A member of the resistance against the Rebellion Army, he was apparently a former partner of Spider's who was injured and lost the use of his legs, replacing them with a hover-wheelchair of sorts. He sacrifices himself to allow X to escape the endless number of PREONs converging on his location. Not to be confused with the Mega Man ZX protagonist with the same name.
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Name's the Same: as the Mega Man ZX protagonist.
The Rebellion Army
- Epsilon
The leader of the Rebellion Army. He was actually the result of secret Supra Force Metal experiments and was the only subject to not go Maverick or be destroyed for failure. Given extraordinary abilities thanks to the Supra Force Metal, he sought to give all reploids the same power to evolve beyond what humans had created them to be ... whether they actually wanted it or not.
- Anti-Villain
Big BadDisc One Final Boss: Unsurprising for a Mega Man X game, however the Man Behind the Man is not the one fans had come to expect...- Climax Boss
- Death Equals Redemption: Implied in The Stinger, where it was stated that the Government posthumously cleared Epsilon of all charges of being a Maverick, whereas they placed the same charges on Redips.
- Expy: His goals are very similar to the goals of General from X4.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Implied with the hierarchy of his rebellion: Most of the ones more prone to being maverick are placed at the bottom tier, and those who aren't maverick are at the top.
- Sequential Boss: The fight against him consists of two phases.
- Sole Survivor: It's stated that he was the only one of the Reploids who underwent Supra Force Metal testing that neither went Maverick from exposure nor was killed from it. This also acted as the motivation for exposing all Reploids to the Supra Force Metal, realizing that the results could be reproduced.
- Unwitting Pawn
- Well-Intentioned Extremist
- Scarface
A member of the Rebellion Cadre, and Epsilon's right hand man. He's the most sympathetic of the Cadre, and first to make X question just how 'evil' they really are.
- Anti-Villain
- (Fake) Duel Boss: The plot and dialogue played his first battle as a duel between him and X, even with other characters praising X for facing him alone, but in gameplay it was really a normal three-on-one battle.
- Noble Demon: He's incredibly loyal to Epsilon, even taking a fatal Charge Shot for him. Also…
- Never Hurt an Innocent: When he stormed Central Tower to challenge X to a fight, he only attacked the members of the resistance that attacked him first, and even went as far as to heal the ones he damaged.
- Senseless Sacrifice: He attempted to hold off the Maverick Hunters to buy time for Epsilon to escape, taking his life in the process. Didn't work.
- Ferham
Another member of the Rebellion Cadre. She initially was the chief of security at the Force Metal Research Facility until Epsilon convinced her to join him. She seemed to share a tender relationship with Scarface, only giving him 'permission' to use her key.
- The Baroness
- Foe Yay: She coos for Zero to come 'play with her' while she's whipping him.
- High Heel Face Turn
- Redemption Equals Death
- Whip It Good
- Botos
The last member of the Rebellion Cadre. Unlike his comrades, Botos talks big about the Cadre's cause but is actually a pompous coward only out for his own gain. When Ferham is defeated by X and his party, he rips her key from her body so he can steal the Supra Force Metal for himself. He's killed by an unknown assailant, later revealed to be Spider/Redips.
- Shadow
A member of the Far Eastern Maverick Hunters who was sent to Giga City along with X and Zero. When he and Zero are split up from X, he betrays the Hunters and joins the Rebellion for power. He later retuns, powered up by Supra Force Metal, in order to challenge X. Upon his defeat, he tries to fire a last ditch attack, but is defeated by Zero and Spider.
- Incentas
- Barrier Change Boss
- Elemental Powers: He uses all three and swaps between them.
- Mach Jentra
- Silver Horn
- Dr. Psyche/Mad Nautilus
- Wild Jango
- Shock and Awe
- Not Me This Time: It is implied in the aftermath of Wild Jango's battle at Far East HQ that the "Wild Jango" that attacked Giga City, held Chief R hostage, and was fought by X and Spider was actually a Next-Generation Reploid mimicking him, possibly Redips.
- Duckbill Mole
- Bonus Boss: Defeating him nets Zero a new Hyper Mode: the Absolute Zero Armour!
- PREONs
A mass produced combat mechaniloid that acts as the Rebellion's main grunt units. They come in many different variations. They are mass produced by the mechaniloid Duboar.
- Mascot Mook: Essentially, given how abundant they are in this game.
- Shoot the Medic First: Not actually the best strategy with PREON Nurses, if you leave them alive at the end and defend instead of attacking them, they'll show their gratitude by healing you for free.
- Subverted that if you let them live they run away taking with them the EXP and money would earn if you did blow up..of course you can subvert it again by blowing them up after you get your free heal from them.
Other
- Colonel Redips
The leader of the Far East Maverick Hunter HQ. He acts as X and Zero's commanding officer and oversees their infiltration into Giga City until signal jamming makes communication impossible. But when X and his team finally get all the Supra Force Metal from Epsilon and give it to Redips, he betrays them and labels them as traitors. He uses the SFM to declare himself a god and intends to rule over all reploids.
- A God Am I
- Big Bad
- Bling of War: Pretty much just another Expy of Colonel or Signas. Of course, it comes with a Commissar Cap.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He calls X and his friends Mavericks because he cannot understand their Power of Friendship.
- Face Heel Turn
- High Altitude Battle
- Hopeless Boss Fight: For the first half of the final battle.
- Ironic Echo: You know how he mentions that History will tell who is a maverick? Well, the Government pretty much answered that question in the stinger when they placed all of the charges against Epsilon against Redips.
- Mission Control
- Sdrawkcab Name: Purposefully misspelled as Rideps in the manual in order to put players off the scent.
- The Man Behind the Man
- Treacherous Advisor
- Depth Dragoon
A member of the Far East Maverick Hunters, completely loyal to Redips. When Redips reveals his plans, Dragoon attempts to defeat X's team but is himself defeated.
- Blood Knight: His primary motivation for fighting X's team was because he wanted to see X's power with his own eyes.
- Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: He appears after the traditional Boss Rush in a random room before the Final Boss. None of the characters acknowledge his presence after he's defeated, either.
- Making a Splash
- Rafflesian
- Bonus Boss: defeating her nets X a new Hyper Mode: this game's version of the Ultimate Armour!
- That One Boss: due to her power gradually increasing.
- Gender Bender: Not herself but Axl can morph into her after you beat her, which leads to some amusing implications.
- Queen Mook: She's a boss version of a similar but Rare female random encounter enemy.
- The Ninetails Clan
- Bonus Bosses
- Shout-Out: Their Annihilator Hadoken.
- Which Axl sadly doesn't copy in his morph of him instead copying a set damage attack of the last of the them.
- Fixed Damage Attack: Ninetails' Nine Fragments does 999 damage 9 times to one character, for a total of 8991 damage!
