Broken Shield IV wrote: I think the real question here is "at what point did X shift into the public eye?" If you go by the OVA, X clearly stood out among the other Maverick hunters, as did Zero and Sigma. You see, X also happens to look a lot like the Original Mega Man, who was a celebrity in the classic series. His place as a Symbol of Peace is undisputed, and X's likeness to him could have easily been a publicity boost for the Maverick Hunters, especially after X1. This also begs the question of when X became a Maverick Hunter. Was he one of the original ones, or did he join later? So this all can be quite confusing. Any thoughts? http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_X_(series) I'm pretty sure he joined the Maverick Hunters a few months before Sigma went Maverick, because beforehand he didn't really like the Maverick Hunters policy and didn't want to be a part of what they were doing. But later on he joined, the timeline however is unclear since it just says AD 21XX as the date when he joined rather than the month, so we can only guess from his personality and dialogue what he did. Maybe we could just use the Archie Comics as reference even if they aren't canon?
