- "His potential... is limitless?! ...not possible."
- ―Cyber Peacock, Mega Man X4
Cyber Peacock, known as Cyber Kujacker (サイバー・クジャッカー) in Japan, is a digitized Peacock-based Maverick in Mega Man X4. He was originally an AI that protected the network from hackers before he was corrupted by Sigma. He then begins corrupting the network himself, to draw the Maverick Hunters attention; because like Split Mushroom, Peacock was given the task of testing X and Zero's abilities, putting them through a series of trials and training exercises.
Strategy
During battle he will phase-out and then phase-in to your current location to try and inflict damage. If he isn't immediately attacked properly he will fire multiple lasers or slash by dashing up vertically. When his health has been knocked down by half, he will also begin to fire his tail feathers as homing missiles. At what time to fight Cyber Peacock depends on if you are X or Zero. X can take him on after defeating Split Mushroom and thus obtaining Soul Body. But, since Zero can't use that ability, he would need the Ryuenjin from Magma Dragoon to fight him here.
Most bosses will show the ability that you will gain during the fight. For X, his Aiming Laser is modeled after Cyber Peacock's third mode of attack of locking-on and launching missiles. Zero's Rakuhouha is modeled after one of Cyber Peacock's early attack patterns of firing multiple energy beams.

Trivia
- Cyber Peacock is the only boss in Mega Man X4 that lacks the usual few seconds of invincibility after he's taken damage.
- In the japanese version of the game, Peacock speaks in an overly-feminine manner.
- Cyber Peacock is the only Maverick in the English release of Mega Man X4 not to have any in-battle quotes or grunts due to the fact he says "Hidoi yo!" ("How cruel!") when injured by the Soul Body in the Japanese version.
