The Maverick Hunters is an organization from the science-fiction video game series Mega Man X created to hunt down and terminate Mavericks.

Origins

After Dr. Cain created the first Reploids from Mega Man X's designs, incidents began with a few of these reploids attacking or killing humans. This alarmed the government, and they, along with Dr. Cain, created the Maverick Hunters to stop what they called Mavericks before they could cause harm.

Units

Since the Doppler rebellion, the Maverick Hunters were divided into units based on their purpose, designs, or type of combat they perform. Not all of the Maverick Hunter Units have been specified, but some units that have been mentioned in the games are:

  • 0th Stealth Unit (Lead by Zero)
  • 4th Overland Unit
  • 6th Fleet (Ocean Unit)
  • 7th Air Cavalry
  • 8th Armored Division
  • 9th Special Forces
  • 13th Polar Region Unit
  • 14th Grapple Combat Unit
  • 17th Elite Unit (Lead by X) (Vile was a member for a time)

Shortly after Signas was appointed the new Supreme Commander of the Maverick Hunters, the Sigma Virus was unleashed in mass amounts (X5) and many Reploids, including many Maverick Hunters, went maverick. This resulted in the Maverick Hunters losing more than half of their numbers. Due to this, Signas was forced to dissolve the units, resulting in every remaining Hunter acting under a single command independently. It has remained this way ever since.

  • Vile
  • All the Mega Man X1 Mavericks (Save for Storm Eagle)
  • Bubble Crab, Crystal Snail, Flame Stag, Magna Centipede, Overdrive Ostrich, Wheel Gator
  • Mac
  • Blast Hornet, Gravity Beetle
  • Magma Dragoon
  • Double (claimed to be a creation of Dr. Cain, but later on in the game he showed his true form as a maverick. The game never specified if he was made by the Doctor or not)
  • Volt Kraken (Squid Adler)
  • Soldier Gorilla (Soldier Stonekong)
  • Shield Sheldon, Commander Yammark
