| abstract | - Zero, also known as Seven, is a video game character and one of the three protagonists in the Mega Man X series and protagonist of the Mega Man Zero series of video games. In the X series, he is one of the highest ranking "Maverick Hunters" who is fighting to stop Sigma's forces of infected Reploids, known as mavericks, from exterminating humanity. Incidentally, Keiji Inafune, Mega Man creator and current senior corporate officer at Capcom, had admitted to creating Zero to be Mega Man X himself, the character who would succeed Mega Man as the hero. However, due to concerns that players would find it hard to relate Zero with the original Mega Man due to the large visual differences between the two characters, he was made X's partner, and the X widely known today was designed for this purpose instead. Nine years later, Zero did eventually get his own starring role, in the Mega Man Zero series. In Zero's debut appearance in the first Mega Man X game, he was a gameplay extension of the main character, Mega Man X. He had a more powerful form of X's X-Buster weapon, called the Z-Buster, and a contrasting red color scheme to X's blue. Until the release of Mega Man X3, Zero was a non-playable character to the player, only assisting at discriminate intervals. When he became available, steps were taken to give Zero a varied playing experience from X. While X used long-range shots/projectiles to dispatch enemies, Zero gained a saber called the Z-Saber to attack enemies at close range.

Unfortunately, they ended up in the Sonic Boom Zone by mistake, but found unlikely new allies in the form of Sticks the Badger, Comedy Chimp, and Fastidious Beaver. Joined by the unlikely "Team Sticks", the trio of Hunters were led by them to the base of that world's version of Dr. Eggman. His minions, Orbot and Cubot, were "persuaded" by Zero to open another portal, through which the unusual team then passed. (SU: #76; WUB: MM; SB: #8) Zero and his teammates eventually made it to Mobius as it was being merged with Earth 20XX of the past, and joined forces with the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Robot Masters. The group then boarded the Sky Patrol in order to pursue their campaign against Sigma. A meeting was soon held aboard ship, and Zero joined fellow red robot Break Man in collecting X, Mega Man, and Roll from the training room. He later joined his teammates at the meeting, where they were interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Dr. Wily-who later noted that Zero looked like something he would create-Xander Payne, and Dr. Eggman. Informed of Sigma's whereabouts by the villains, the Sky Patrol set course for the Lost Hex. Along the way, Zero befriended fellow swordsman Antoine D'Coolette, though each claimed to have the better weapon. It was soon put to the test as the heroes faced the Mechaniloid army led by the Deadly Six. During the fight, Zero and X realized that Sigma had to be using the power of the Genesis Portals to revive old enemies. Unfortunately, Robot Masters and Maverick hunters alike were then taken over by the Zeti, who forced them to attack their friends. While crossing blades with Antoine, Zero did his best to get a panicking Axl back on task, assuring him that they were not turning into Mavericks. Fortunately, he and the others were returned to normal thanks to the Egg-Wily Uppity Robot Scrambler Cannon. He then joined Sonic in calling for them to press their assault on Sigma, but they were in the minority due to the group being weary from their previous battles. (MM: #50; SU: #77; SB: #9; StH: #274) Unfortunately, the heroes would soon find themselves facing an even greater menace: an army of Mavericks created by Sigma and the villain himself in a gigantic new body. After dealing with an aghast Axl, X turned to regard Zero, making sure he was okay facing old enemies and former friends. Zero assured his friend that he was okay, particularly given that Colonel and Iris were not among Sigma's Time-Clones. Unfortunately, the fears of the others proved true, and they were left at the mercy of Sigma's Mavericks. The tyrant dispatched most of his forces to invade other worlds using the Genesis Portals, while a handful remained behind to finish the heroes off. Luckily, help arrived in the form of Sticks and the heroes of the Street Fighter Zone, who dispatched the attackers. Given the chance to recuperate, the heroes then prepared to pursue their foes to various worlds, splitting up and-in the case of flightless combatants like Zero-boarding Extreme Gear. In small teams they set out to hunt down the Mavericks, while also recruiting heroes from the other worlds to their cause. The expanded force soon engaged Sigma and his defenses in battle, only for Sigma to unveil his ultimate form. Super Sonic and Super Mega Man eventually managed to defeat him due to Wily and Eggman's interference, and Xander Payne later prevented Sigma's trip back through time. As such, Zero his comrades were returned to their own time, with Sigma's demise being attributed to X. (MM: #51, #52; StH: #275)
