- ―Izzy Glow, Mega Man X5
Izzy Glow, known as Shining Hotarunicus[2] (シャイニング・ホタルニクス Shainingu Hotarunikusu) in Japan, was a reclusive firefly-based Reploid scientist and the world's leading researcher in laser technology.
He rarely allowed any of his work to see the light of day, out of fear that they would be used to create weapons. One of his creations, the Laser Device, was one of the necessary parts needed for the Enigma cannon. But, due to the large scale virus outbreak he was already infected by the time the Maverick Hunters arrived at his lab. While, still in his right mind, he asks the Hunters to put him down.
Strategy
He teleports about, shooting F-Laser firefly shots, and firing large laser beams from his abdomen. Electricity is his weakness, so use Tri-Thunder if playing as X or E-Blade if playing as Zero.

Dialogues
When playing as X
Izzy Glow: What a graceful entrance...
X: This laboratory is so badly infected by the virus, there's no other way for me to enter.
Izzy Glow: Humph! You Hunters always do that... My work is not for Maverick Hunters. I've never trusted your approach. Therefore, I won't cooperate with you.
X: Doctor... I don't have time to argue with you. Please understand.
Izzy Glow: Woooooo... I feel dizzy... I seem to have been infected by the... ...virus... I'm feeling an urge to attack you...
X: Doctor! Are you all right? Come to the Hunter base with me...
Izzy Glow: No... It's too late... I'm losing consciousness...
When playing as Zero
Zero: Dr. Izzy Glow, will you do us a favor?
Zero: Dr. Izzy Glow... Oh, am I too late?

Developer Comments
"This boss was also settled on from the start. He's not plain evil, he's an intelligent, stubborn professor. I think he got a design that nicely echoes my mental image of him. There's actually a goof-up, though...I screwed up his coloring in the middle of designing him. There were two versions, red and yellow, and I'd decided on yellow, but things went crazy and I had a dot picture made with the unaccepted red. I noticed this at the last stages of the development, but by then it was too late."[3][4]
Designer Comments
"The majority of an actual firefly's body is blackish, so I designed him that way, but I didn't want to get people thinking, "Is this a cockroach?" I thus considered red, yellow, or white (doctor's coat) schemes, ultimately choosing red. He's a red-faced old man. His white mustache and glasses convey his scientist feel."[3][4]
"I was told that Firefly would be a sort of professor like character, so that could only mean two things: glasses and distinguished facial hair! The red stripe I put along the top of his head is supposed to be a sort of bald look." -Haruki Suetsugu, Mega Man X Official Complete Works, 2009[1]
Trivia
- In the American version, Izzy Glow was named after Izzy Stradlin, the former guitarist of the rock band Guns 'N Roses.[5]
