(X1 Version)

Vile is a recurring antagonist from Megaman X. He was a former elite Maverick Hunter whose role is to defend the innocent from rogue reploids called Mavericks. He defected from them due to his reckless nature making him a danger to his peers so they condemned him as a Maverick. Also labeled a "War Machine", he favors destruction over peace and thus grew a bitter rivalry with X and Zero, X in particular due to him being praised for his potential.

As a Reploid Vile sports purple armor with yellow trims over a gray tight suit as well as wearing a helmet with a T visor.

His more notable weapon being a shoulder mounted cannon is on his right side. He is capable of energy based attacks using it as well as launching hidden grenades from a socket beneath his knee armor. His most devastating weaponry is a car-sized mech with an open cockpit called a "Ride Armor", some of which vary from utilizing bulky fists or drill arms for close combat or even heavy blaster cannons.
