Zero was one of the earliest characters Keiji Inafune designed for ''Mega Man X''. In fact, he was originally supposed to be [[X]], but [[Capcom]] executives rejected the design claiming it was too radical of a departure from the classic ''Mega Man'' games. Inafune then created a more derivative design for X with some updates to fit the tone of the new series and repurposed the original design into a side character that eventually became Zero. | |||
Along with {{b|X|Mega Man}}, Zero was one of the first robots to have complete free will and the thinking capabilities of a human. It was revealed in ''Mega Man X4'' that he was created by [[Dr. Wily]] to destroy the original [[Mega Man]], but was too unstable and violent to be controlled, forcing Dr. Wily to seal him in a capsule. Later, in the year 21XX, a group of Maverick Hunters found Dr. Wily's lab and released Zero. As he still wasn't cured of his violent nature, Zero defeated those Maverick Hunters, causing him to be labeled as a Maverick and forcing the then-leader, Sigma, to fight him one-on-one. Zero lost the fight, but he also became stable from his Maverick-like state after the duel. On the other hand, Sigma was infected with the Maverick Virus and developed Sigma Virus with his newfound twisted will, causing a change in roles between him and Zero. Zero joined the Maverick Hunters, becoming an S-rank Hunter as well taking the role of a mentor and friend to X. | Along with {{b|X|Mega Man}}, Zero was one of the first robots to have complete free will and the thinking capabilities of a human.
