Bad Boss: In the non-canon Vile Mode of Maverick Hunter X, he allows Vile to kill a ton of his Mavericks, including his high-ranking generals, to test Vile's potential.Subverted with his tattered robes in X6 and X7, which serves to make him look beaten and haggard rather than intimidating. Most notable in his X1 and X5 forms, but in X4 he wore a Grim Reaper cloak and in X2 he only wore a cape in artwork. Not just prefight ones, but even after he has seemingly been defeated, most notably as The Stinger for the first game. Badass Boast: He loves giving these out.In the strictest sense, the only times where it seemed like his death might stick were in X3, where he's first hit by a real anti-virus, X5, where Zero destroys him after most of the Sigma Virus has been eradicated from the Earth, and X8, where he is destroyed on the moon, and hasn't been seen since. at last count, he's been killed ten times.

Back from the Dead: Again and again and again and again.And in the reboot of the first game, he already shows signs of this, such as laughing maniacally while looking down at the ruins of a city he obliterated via missile launches. Ax-Crazy: His sanity seems to wane as the games go on, where he becomes less concerned with helping Reploids advance in their development and far more obsessed with killing the heroes while wiping out millions of innocent lives in the process.He continues to hold true with this more or less as the leader of the Mavericks. At the time of his creation, Sigma was the most advanced Reploid in the world both on a physical level and with the most advanced anti-virus software installed that would, in theory, prevent him from going Maverick and thus turning that power against humanity. Cain built Sigma to be the leader of the Maverick Hunters and consequently to have the power to match the post. Attack Its Weak Point: Most of the time, his second body's weak point is located on the head.

As Long as There Is Evil: Tells X this when defeated in Xtreme, promising to haunt him and Zero for as long as they live.

Artificial Zombie: In X6, he is brought back into a half-dead state by Gate.

Arc Words: 'Evolution requires sacrifice.'.

It's not clear where Inafune was going with this, as the remake series was canceled.

Arc Welding: His evolution talk calls to mind later Big Bads Serpent and Lumine.

Wily's posthumous plan to turn Zero into the monster he was meant to be. On Sigma's end, he indirectly causes Iris' death, even mocking Zero about it, and later goes along with Dr.

Zero is the one who infected Sigma with the virus in the first place, and is greatly disturbed by what he did to the former Maverick Hunter.

Sigma even comments on how he and X are 'always destined to meet'.

Sigma is greatly interested in X's potential and wants to use his body to usher in a new age of Reploid supremacy.Arch-Enemy: To both protagonists X and Zero.It's heavily implied that as long as the Sigma Virus exists there's always a chance that he could return. Anthropomorphic Personification: He's the living will of the Sigma Virus - it's even named after him.He has a pet robot wolf named Velguarder, his One-Winged Angel form in the first game is a large robotic wolf, and his symbol is the Greek letter Sigma designed as a wolf. He then extends this attitude towards earlier reploid models for the sake of the Next Generation ones. A Nazi by Any Other Name: For the first few games, his attitude about humans can be summarized as 'the inferior need to be exterminated so the superior can thrive'.However, some of his characterizations pre-virus (in the X4 flashback and an archive of his old data on Dive) showcase him to be fairly reasonable. It is therefore unclear whether Sigma turned evil entirely because of the virus messing with his mind or Sigma was always resentful of humans with the virus merely giving him the means to carry out his rebellion. However, later games would establish that Sigma went Maverick after his fateful encounter with Zero, which would get the former infected with the Maverick Virus to merge with Sigma's mind to form the Sigma Virus. Ambiguous Start of Darkness: From the first game's manual, it was always established that he led his Maverick rebellion as he believed that humans were limiting the evolution of Reploids.
