That doesn't explain his reply to Axl where he specifically denies being used by Sigma, and if anything it was the exact opposite.

Well maybe it’s because of his role as the “main” villain and his egoistic nature who only thinks about himself. But we can’t deny that he has Sigma’s DNA in his body because he is simply a new generation reploid.
