History

Created by Dr. Cain, Sigma was considered the finest of the Reploids (having been the first made) and was the first leader of the Maverick Hunters — peace-keeping Reploids who defend humans against their renegade robot counterparts. Although he was once honorable and selfless, Sigma unexpectedly goes Maverick at the beginning of Mega Man X and rebelled against humankind (the reason for this was that he was infected by the Maverick Virus, which he received from Zero). He defects to the Mavericks and assumes the role of their leader. Under Sigma's command, the Mavericks grow into a legion dedicated to the extermination of the human race. Sigma instigates many of the destructive Maverick Wars, with the Maverick Hunters existing to crush Sigma and his minions.

  • His VA is credited as "SupremeOverlordOfIce", but it is heavily implied to be his voice actor from Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Chris Tergliafera. The alias corresponds to a self-appointed title made by Gundham Tanaka, a character from the Danganronpa series who is also voiced by Tergliafera. Additionally, the reference page for the VA links to a Wikipedia pages about hamsters; Tanaka has multiple hamsters in his care. It's likely Tergliafera may not have been credited to avoid the legal issues surrounding getting him to voice a character that he would legally and contractually not be able to voice.
