- ―Colonel, Mega Man Battle Network 6
Colonel.EXE (カーネル.ＥＸＥ [2] Kāneru Eguze) is the NetNavi of Baryl in the Mega Man Battle Network series. A strong silent type, Colonel is an efficient and skilled Navi who follows Baryl's orders without question. He was created by Dr. Wily and has a younger sister, Iris.
Appearance[]
|
This section requires expansion. |
Colonel has green eyes and seemingly wears a black suit. He has a black torso with a gray and yellow lining, gray shoulder pads with darker linings, a cyan cape.
His Navi mark has a yellow surrounding and represents a minus mark with a gray outline and two gray small rectangles (each of them are on top and bottom) in a light gray background.
Overview[]
Colonel is the second of three Navis based on a Mega Man X character, after Zero.
Mostly keeping to himself, Colonel follows Baryl's orders and rarely questions him, much like the relationship Eugene Chaud shares with ProtoMan. The two are quite formidable together, and in Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Colonel forms Team Colonel alongside Lan Hikari and MegaMan to liberate the world from Nebula. Though Colonel fights for justice, he will not disobey Baryl, and when Lord Wily calls for a new WWW to cause chaos for society and awaken the Cybeasts, Colonel joins his operator in fighting his former allies Lan and MegaMan for the organization.
Colonel opens up to his beliefs of fighting for good when he sacrifices himself to stop the Cybeasts, telling Lan to tell Baryl that he chose to accept deletion to stop them of his own free will, not because he was fated to do so.
History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 5[]
In Team ProtoMan version: Colonel appears as a powerful Navi, assisting Meddy and MegaMan in cleansing ProtoMan from Dark Power. He later reappears to help Team ProtoMan defeat Nebula Gray and getting the last attack in.
In Team Colonel version: Colonel is the leader of Team Colonel. He and Baryl test Lan and MegaMan and ask them to join the team. After that they fight against Nebula and recruit new members. After one of their successful Liberation Missions, MegaMan was captured by Nebula and fills him with Dark Power. In a desperate situation, Baryl assigns Colonel to Lan and operates him until they get back MegaMan. Colonel himself also falls to Dark Power due to the folly of ToadMan. His team under MegaMan's leadership and ProtoMan's assistance, they were able to cleanse Colonel and return him to normal. Team Colonel later storms Nebula's base and take down their whole operation.
Mega Man Battle Network 6[]
Colonel was revealed to be working for WWW. Colonel's personality dramatically changed, and all he cared about was doing his job, even if it meant having to delete anyone in his path. After losing to Lan and MegaMan, Baryl decided to help them stop Dr. Wily.
It was later revealed that Dr. Wily created Colonel as the perfect Navi (strong, smart, fast, and kind; in addition, Colonel possessed a electronics control program). When Baryl's father went to war, he left Baryl in Wily's care. Wily soon forgot about his thoughts for revenge and raised Baryl as his own. But, Wily's revenge against net society returned when he learned that Baryl's father was killed in battle. Wily then removed Colonel's kindness and electronics control program, making him a military Navi and used the programs to create Iris. Wily soon made a program that would cause Colonel and Iris to explode if they were to ever merge again.
Wily's plan was to build two giant CopyBots in order to contain the Cybeasts, Gregar and Falzar. Iris decides to help MegaMan and Colonel to defeat the two Cybeasts. After a very intense battle, Colonel and Iris defeat one of the Cybeasts, but the other Cybeast took over MegaMan again. Colonel and Iris were still injured from their last battle, so in desperation, Colonel and Iris fused together and separated the Cybeast from MegaMan's body. With parting words, Colonel self-destructed, destroying the Cybeast at the cost of their own lives. This caused Wily's kindness to return. 20 years later, Wily created two incarnations of Colonel and Iris. Colonel is a system that finds and deletes viruses and criminals on the net. Iris is a system that finds and repairs any damage done to the net. With these two systems, the net was able to grow in leaps and bounds.

Manga[]
MegaMan NT Warrior[]
ElementMan, JudgeMan and Colonel in the manga.
Colonel first appear in volume 9 along with TomahawkMan after MegaMan, SearchMan, and ProtoMan defeated MegaMan DS. He uses Giga Freeze to destroy all Darkloids along with the Dark Space in a swift second. He then visits MegaMan and ProtoMan, who were in the middle of a check-up, so that he could order MegaMan to fight TomahawkMan so he could witness the power of Double Soul. After MegaMan easily defeated TomahawkMan, Colonel tells MegaMan that he will be imprisoned in Netopia prison, but MegaMan escaped with ProtoMan's help. He is seen again discussing with the higher-ups of Netopia, fearing that MegaMan's Double Soul ability may lead to a fusion with Bass which could become a greater threat to the world and therefore, MegaMan must not be allowed to have a contact with Bass, while realizing that something has happened between MegaMan and Bass to make them more than just common enemies.
When MegaMan reached Netopia and went in hiding, Colonel and Baryl are ordered to stand by and instead, the operation to capture MegaMan is handed to Dr. Regal and his group. Realizing that Regal is a traitor and has added Darkloids within the Netopia Navies, Colonel orders TomahawkMan, who was with MegaMan, to protect him from CloudMan who intends to capture him. After defeating CloudMan, MegaMan is taken to Netopia base and is imprisoned. Bass frees MegaMan from his prison, which Colonel has expected and attacks Bass to avenge Serenade. It is revealed that Colonel was good friends with Serenade, which explains why Colonel is unable to trust MegaMan who has formed a bond with Bass, since Bass was the Navi who had killed Serenade. However, MegaMan helps Colonel, due to realizing that he is not the real Bass, but an impostor. Chasing CosmoMan away, MegaMan finally earned Colonel's trust and is allowed to take part on the battle against Nebula.
Colonel briefly became Lan's bodyguard when Lan entered the Cyberworld to retrieve MegaMan who had been consumed by the darkness. When the Netopia finally finds the core base of Nebula, Colonel is the only one to survive and reached the front line facing against Nebula Grey, while the others are destroyed or retreated. Bass unexpectedly appears and attacks Nebula Grey. Colonel intended to avenge Serenade, but Baryl reminds him that defeating Nebula Grey comes first. Reluctantly, Colonel, followed by MegaMan and the others, join forces with Bass to fight Nebula Grey, but Nebula Grey has grown too powerful for them, leaving only himself, MegaMan, and Bass to fight. He prevents MegaMan from persuing Double Soul with Bass, warning him of the danger while ignoring MegaMan's protest. This eventually fails when MegaMan sacrificed himself to save Bass, prompting Bass to absorb him to prevent deletion. Once realizing that he could trust Bass Cross MegaMan to defeat Nebula Grey after witnessing him holding his attack to avoid killing ProtoMan and the others, he defends and open a path for Bass Cross MegaMan to finish Nebula Grey. After Nebula Grey is defeated, he and Baryl discuss that MegaMan's Double Soul has awakened a dangerous beast, starting their true mission.
He, and some of the Netopia Navis under him, participates in the battle initiated by Iris to determine who is the strongest Navi that will be entrusted with the legendary program. He and his three Navi subordinates defeated the other Navis and then confronts MegaMan, the only Navi left that they have not defeated. MegaMan easily defeated them with the help of the souls of ProtoMan, SearchMan, and TomahawkMan inside him. Colonel gives MegaMan his Navi Mark and reveals that Iris is his sister and the legendary program itself. He and Iris used to be one program that split into two; while Iris stayed in the Underground to watch over the Cyber Beasts, Colonel searches for the strongest Navi that could be entrusted with the legendary program. After entrusting MegaMan with his sister, Colonel lost his power and remained in Underground until MegaMan defeats the Cyber Beasts.
