Origin: The war between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily was a long and destructive one, and although Wily always came back with a new wave of Robot Masters, they, along with Wily’s schemes for World Domination, were always thwarted by Dr. Light’s Mega Man. Around the eighth time Wily was stopped, he had conceptualized a prototype for a robot that could effortlessly destroy Mega Man and Wily’s former greatest creation, Bass. Though Bass shrugged off the bot as “girl-y” and unimpressive, Wily insisted that the robot was not to be underestimated. Much later in Wily’s life, not long before his demise, the robot known as Zero was first awakened. However, a single programming flaw resulted in Zero being violent and masochistic in behavior. To keep himself from being mutilated by his own creation, Wily sealed Zero away for around thirty years.

When Zero awakened, he was confronted by several Reploids, a new wave of powerful robots. Needless to say, Zero mutilated them beyond recognition, his hands covered in their blood. When the leader of the Maverick Hunters, Sigma, encountered Zero, he was on the brink of death when a “W” appeared in Zero’s head-crystal, causing him extreme pain. Sigma defeated Zero by shattering the crystal… Though, there was a catch. By shattering the crystal, the Maverick Virus (that was created by Dr. Wily) was transferred from Zero to Sigma. In short, Zero became a Class-A Maverick Hunter. Sigma, however, went Maverick when he slaughtered various hunters and nuked Abel City. 

During the events of Mega Man X1, Zero was the leader of the Maverick Hunters, often acting as a mentor to X. However, towards the end of the game, Zero sacrificed himself to destroy Vile’s ride armor. During the events of Mega Man X2, Zero’s control chip was recovered from the site of his death. However, the X-Hunters had found and modified Zero’s body to include additions from Dr. Wily’s original plans. These parts were retrieved by X and, as a result, gave Zero a finished and stronger body.

During the interim between the MMX and MM Zero series, the Elf Wars had broken out. During a large portion of this time, Zero was sealed away for testing, as he had tested positive for the Sigma Virus, though his control chip had been removed to prevent malfunctions, in the event something went wrong. Zero’s body was studied by government researchers, and one of them, an unnamed female ancestor of Ciel, managed to create the “Sigma Antibody Program”, a Cyber-elf capable of reverting the devastated programming of infected Mavericks and therefore destroying the virus completely. This Cyber Elf was the Mother Elf. However, weapon researcher and DNA revival specialist Dr. Weil, who also worked in the lab, planned a different way of dealing with the Mavericks, as he was unsatisfied with the result. Weil started a conflict that would ultimately cost the lives of 90% of all Reploids and 60% of all humans. That was how the Elf Wars started.

Dr. Weil secretly stole the Mother Elf and reprogrammed her into the Dark Elf, whose purpose was to create Maverick outbreaks by brainwashing Reploids. Baby Elves, small copies of the Dark Elf, were mass-produced to cause violent Maverick outbreaks worldwide. Not only that, but the government was forced to give Weil Zero’s original body, which became the host for Omega. During the final years of the Elf War, Zero used a body created by the aforementioned ancestor to Ciel, and fought alongside X to reclaim Dark Elf and defeated Omega.

However, once all of this had ended, Zero decided to seal himself away forever, much to the grief and protest of X. Zero’s reasoning for all this was his belief that, as long as he was still around, history would continue to be paved with blood. Before the seal was complete, he encouraged X that this was the right way and that he wanted to believe in human kind, just as X believed in them. With these final words, Zero’s seal was complete.

Though it was supposed to last forever, Zero was awakened by Ciel when she used the Cyber-Elf Passy to revive him. Though Zero stopped the forces of Neo Arcadia, he had suffered from Amnesia, due to “hibernation sickness.” As it turned out, Neo Arcadia was the government of the world at this time period. Reploids were discriminated against and often deemed Maverick and terminated without justifiable cause by their new ruler, Copy X. From that moment onwards, Zero agreed to fight for Ciel’s cause and joined the resistance against Neo Arcadia.

PHYSICALITY:

Destructive Capacity:

-At most, Solar System Level (Scales to Lumine’s destruction of a Star (vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/User_…)).

-There are other feats to support this, such as Gravity Beetle’s Black Hole collapse (web.archive.org/web/2017070305…).

-At the very least, Zero is Star Level (Same link as GB’s Black Hole feat, though it’s for Gravity Antonion’s feat).

STRENGTH:

-Even in his oldest body, he was capable of nearly killing Sigma, who, at the time, was a Class-A hunter.
-Is built to be vastly superior to Classic Mega Man, who was capable of the following:
 -Lifted Wily’s 900,000+ ton Castle (web.archive.org/web/2016021617…)
 -Should be comparable to one of Wily’s Machines in the Manga, which could reduce the Earth to ash.
 -Mega Man could endure attacks from Duo and the Evil Energy, he could also match Duo. Both of which took part in a crash that, at it’s lowest, was capable of small planet level power crash against Jupiter (web.archive.org/web/2016021703…)
-Was able to harm General, who intercepted and tanked a Planet-busting laser.
-Defeated a fusion of Omega and Dark Elf, who was stronger than anyone Zero had faced before (With the exception of Dr. Weil).
 -Keep in mind, too, that Harpuia couldn’t even scratch them.
-Overpowered Vile while he was in his Ride Armor.
-Effortlessly defeated an imperfect clone of himself that was created by Sigma to fool X.
-Even casual slashes can slice Mavericks and other Reploids to pieces.
 -Keep in mind these robots are made of Ceratanium, the exact same stuff that Mega Man is made of.
-Can enhance his strength with abilities copied from opponents.

DURABILITY:

-Likely constructed from Ceratanium, also known Ceramic titanium. This is the same material that was used for the creation of Mega Man.
-Is built to be vastly superior to Classic Mega Man, who was capable of the following:
 -Tanked point-blank absolute zero temperature freezing from Cold Man.
 -Can tank attacks from Fire Man’s Fire Storm and Heat Man’s Atomic Fire, both of which are superior to the Sun’s heat in terms of temperature.
 -Can endure dimensional distortion from Centaur Man’s Centaur Flash.
 -In Super Adventure Rockman, Mega Man tanked Ra-Moon’s fortress exploding while he was using the Double Mega Buster technique, which was overheating him.
 -Mega Man could endure attacks from Duo and the Evil Energy, he could also match Duo. Both of which took part in a crash that, at it’s lowest, was capable of small planet level power crash against Jupiter.
-Comparable to General, who intercepted and tanked a Planet-busting laser.
-Can endure attacks from Lumine, who destroyed a Star.
-Most famously, Zero survived crashing into the space-colony Eurasia when he collided with it, full-force, within a space shuttle. He also survived the explosion immediately afterwards.
-Can endure attacks from X, who basically has the same destructive capacity as Zero.
-Comparable to X, who endured an explosion that was capable of annihilating Japan (web.archive.org/web/2016021617…).
 -The calc linked here has since been revised (web.archive.org/web/2016021618…).
-Endured the explosion caused by Copy X after the Neo Arcadian Core was destroyed.
-Can tank attacks from a fusion of Omega and Dark Elf, who Harpuia couldn’t even scratch.
  -Furthermore, Zero can endure attacks from Omega Zero, a version of Omega that inhabited Zero’s original body.

-Could possibly have regeneration, given that X was able to reform parts in the manga.
  -This would line up with Zero being able to “heal” from being reduced to a torso.

SPEED:

-Speed should be in the MFTL+ range.
-Comparable to X and Dark Elf, who completely erased the entire Maverick Virus from Earth. This was calced as MFTL+ (15 trillion c), and is likely Zero’s best speed feat.(web.archive.org/web/2019033023…)
-Is built to be vastly superior to every classic Mega Man character, who could accomplish the following:
  -Duo flew from Jupiter to Earth within seconds.
  -Mega Man reacted to various lasers and asteroids coming at him whilst in the Asteroid belt. This was calced at MFTL (web.archive.org/web/2016021703…)
  -Mega Man reacted to Quick Man, who Elec Man stated is faster than light during their fight.
  -Mega Man reacted to a beam of light that was aimed for his face.
-Can avoid lasers of light from Optic Sunflower (web.archive.org/web/2016021703…).
-Keep in mind that Zero can react to attacks from X, who shares these speed feats.
-Casually avoids attacks from other Reploids/enemies as well, such as Vile, Sigma, Lumine, Omega, and Dr. Weil, among others.
-Can resist the pull of a black hole.
-His speed aids him in combat, as he seems to prefer to rush in with a speed-blitz above all else.

STAMINA:

-Being a robot, Zero’s stamina far surpasses that of a normal human’s.
-Even after he was reduced to a torso that was missing an arm and a hole in his chest, Zero still had the energy to fire a fatal shot at Sigma.
  -After all that, Zero was still able to enter hiding and repair/heal himself.
-After being sealed away for a century, when Zero was awakened by Ciel, he immediately began fighting once more.
-In his older body, after Vile captured him and weakened him, Zero was still able to break free and land a fatal shot to his ride armor.
-Does not need air to breath, since he could survive underwater and in outer space.
-It took a full year of fighting for him to tire.

DNA SOUL:

-Despite being a robot, Zero technically does have a soul.
-In concept, DNA Souls are similar to a human’s soul, as DNA Souls are, for a lack of better words, a Reploid’s brain.
-Zero can use his DNA Soul in certain attacks, such as Sougenmu and Soul Body.

DATA ERASURE:

-In Mega Man X4, Zero has the ability to completely erase chunks of data.
-Likely a form of hax that Zero can do with any weapon of his.

INTELLIGENCE/PERSONALITY:

-Zero cares little about the concepts of justice and doesn’t consider himself a hero, but he fights for what he believes is right.
-Zero is very professional about his work. If he sees an enemy in front of him, he will cut them down.
-Acts as a mentor to X, even rescuing him from Vile and aiding him in combat.
-Somewhat headstrong, due to his combat strategies of blitzing and cutting down enemies.
-Was able to identify the main difference between Copy X and X, in terms of personality: Copy X’s naive nature.
-Will often offer to (potentially) sacrifice himself, such as his final attack against Vile.
  -This is due to him believing that he’s partially responsible for the constant violence, likely due to him being the original carrier for the Maverick Virus.
  -This is also partially due to him believing that the world needs X more than it needs him.
  -However, he has survived these self-sacrifices, such as when he crashed into the space-colony Eurasia.
  -I should note, however, that Zero is not at all suicidal, and only does it to protect his friends.

WEAPONS (X-Series):

Zero Buster:
 -An arm-cannon weapon built by Dr. Wily for Zero.
  -Enhanced by the X-Hunters after they recovered Zero’s parts.
 -Much like the Mega Buster and the X Buster, the Zero Buster has various charge levels:

Red Lotus Saber (Far Left):
 -Zero’s fastest sword.
 -Drains all of Zero’s power and channels it into a giant flame blade, and unleashes it in a fire elemental triple slash called the Bone Slicer.
 -However, due to the energy drain, it severely weakens Zero’s defense.

Z Ichimonji (Second Left):
 -A metal blade that glows with a dark blue flame.
 -It is a comparatively weaker sword, but it breaks armors with the Knife Through Butter attack.

Z Rapier (Third Left):
 -A thin, red blade that uses speed over strength.
 -Can perform a triple-slash combo.

Soul Saber (Third Right):
 -Much like the Z Ichimonji, this blade is made of pure metal.
 -The Soul Saber lets Zero perform a spin-attack, Slash at Death.
 -The more damage Zero takes, the stronger this weapon becomes.

Flame/Ice/Thunder Saber (Second Right, pictured as Flame Saber):
 -They have the same appearance, except that the color of each blade depends on the element.

D-Glaive/Durga-Glaive:
 -A naginata-style weapon that allows Zero to perform longer-ranged attacks.
 -Can be spun to deflect enemy fire.
 -Though it has much better reach than the Z-Saber, it lacks speed and versatility.
  -Moreover, only the bladed end can damage opponents.
 -Can be improved by using attacks from fallen enemies.


V Hanger:
 -A pair of kunai-like knives. 
 -Intended for close-ranged combat.
 -As such, Zero can string a five-hit combo that can be fatal to enemies.

Bashou Fan:
 -A pair of fans that can be used offensively and defensively.
 -The fans are able to deflect weaker shots back at the opponent.

Titan Breaker:
 -A super powerful, yet heavy, hammer that can break through enemy barriers.
 -This weapon is notably slower than his other weapons, and, as such, cannot be used in combos.
 -Can be improved by using attacks from fallen enemies.


Kaiser Knuckle:
 -A pair of brass knuckles, which are extremely useful if Zero needs to punch a bitch.
 -Allows Zero to use attacks from Street Fighter, such as the Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.
 -Though they are powerful, it has very little range.


Sigma Blade:
 -The main weapon used by Sigma in Mega Man X8, though it can be used by Zero.
 -It is an absolutely massive sword with great range and it can shatter enemy defenses with ease.
 -Equipping this weapon will reduce special weapon energy usage by half automatically.

WEAPONS (MMZ-Series):

Buster Shot:
 -A new, gun-like weapon Zero obtained in the MMZ series.
 -Originally used by the late Resistance member Milan.

  -Uncharged: Zero rapid-fires three to four uncharged shots.
  -Level 1 Charge: Zero fires a semi-charged shot.
  -Level 2 Charge: Zero fires a fully-charged shot.
 -Can be enhanced with the abilities of fallen enemies.


Z-Saber(s):
 -Still remains as Zero’s preferred weapon, though it is somewhat different.
  -The hilt and blade are different.
 -Due to his amnesia, Zero had to re-learn his skills with the weapon.
 -Another difference is that it’s implied that Zero owns two Z-Sabers.
 -Stored in the attachments on Zero’s outer thighs.
 -Easily slices through 300 mm of reinforced steel in a single stroke. 
 -Unlike the previous Z-Saber, Zero can charge this one due to the Mega Buster Mk 17 technology installed in it.
  -Once fully-charged, Zero can unleash a more powerful slash.
 -Like before, Zero can use various techniques with the Z-Saber:
  -Most notably, he can do a front-flip slash either in the air or while dashing.
 -Can be enhanced with Hacker Cyber-Elves and Body Chips.
 -Most notably of all, this weapon can take the form of various other weapons, such as….


Shield Boomerang:
 -Created by Cerveau.
 -An energy shield that is created by spinning the Z-Saber mounted on his forearm.
 -It can reflect various attacks, though it does not reflect close-ranged attacks.
 -When charged, it can be thrown like a boomerang, it’s cutting edges having similar effects to that of a chainsaw.
 -It will fly in an ellipsis path before returning to Zero.


Triple-Rod:
 -Created by Cerveau.
 -A lance-like weapon with a modified Z-Saber hilt.
 -Has three times the reach of the Z-Saber, though it is only useful on the ground.
 -Zero can aim it in various directions, and can spin it as well.
 -When fully charged, Zero will swing the rod around himself like a battle staff, with an energy tip on both ends.
  -Alternatively, if Zero is in the air, Zero spins the Triple Rod in front of him.
 -This weapon was destroyed, though its remains were used to make….


Chain Rod:
 -Constructed from the broken remains of the Triple Rod.
 -A chain-like weapon with a massive Z-Saber blade at the end, with several similar chains linking together.
 -It has several uses, such as…
  -Hooking/stabbing into enemies.
  -Holding enemies in place.
  -Can pull a Scorpion by reeling them in.
  -Can reach objects far away from Zero.
  -Can be used as a grappling hook for swinging and maneuverability.
 -Can be enhanced with Element Chips.


Recoil Rod:
 -Created by Cerveau.
 -Zero uses two Z-Saber hilts to created a pair of tonfa-like blades.
 -Mainly used for rapid attacks.
 -By charging the rod, it can be used to push away enemies or move heavy blocks.
  -Alternatively, if Zero is crouching, he will do a super-jump that allows him to reach normally impossible heights.


Zero Knuckle:
 -Easily one of Zero’s best weapons.
 -By punching enemies with the Knuckle in-use, Zero will rip off enemy parts and use them for himself.
  -Often results in the destruction of said enemies.
 -Each stolen weapon has a select amount of ammunition, and can be discarded if Zero runs out of ammo.
 -Cannot be influenced by elemental chips, nor can it be used with EX Skills.

NOTE: I will not include a section for abilities he gets with the Zero Knuckle, since these are abilities he cannot immediately access without outside help.
