  Mega Man X was filled with much more creative bosses than the original series. Its not like we’re knocking the original series, but the name “Boomer Kuwanger” is much more inspired than “Hard Man”. In this list, we’ll go through what we think were the top ten bosses from the Mega Man X series. Most of the choices will be from the first three Mega Man X’s as we feel that the series started to spiral downward after the initial three in the series (like most video games series). Mega Man X 1 has the most placements in this list. We feel the most creative bosses came from this initial game in the series. Here then are our top ten Mega Man X bosses.

  10. Chill Penguin

  Chill Penguin is the first boss to fight in the Mega Man X series. He doesn’t have great defense, has little speed, and his offense is nothing but some ice statues being thrown at you. With that being said, he is animationally well designed and looks scary when you first see his face. Another hint that he’s the first boss that you should beat in the game, is that X automatically encounters Dr. Light in the Ice Stage level in order for X to obtain the dash skill which he will need throughout the game. Chill Penguin is like the Glass Joe of the Mega Man X series. For this easy introductory passage into the game, we have to put him on this list.

  9. Blizzard Buffalo

  Blizzard Buffalo was a reploid from Mega Man X3. He was the same type of character as Flame Mammoth except he had the winter elements at his side instead of the fire elements. His power is massive. One hit by Blizzard Buffalo and X would be short of energy quick. In terms of the winter elements, Blizzard Buffalo is the most powerful boss in all of the Mega Man series. He puts Chill Penguin’s Glass Joesque weakness to shame. For a boss as big as Blizzard Buffalo, you would think he wouldn’t have any agility. He has quickness with the best of the bosses in the series though. Keep your distance when fighting this beast or you will soon be starting the level over.

  8. Web Spider

  Web Spider was one of the more interesting bosses in the Mega Man X series. We find him in Mega Man X 4 where he would move around his area via a web that would always be hard to evade when in battle. Throwing spider webs at you may not seem like the most powerful offense but it dealt great damage. Web Spider is a small little creature but don’t underestimate his defense. It would take many hits to knock this swift spider off his web. He’s got an angry face too. This would have an impact on any player of the series. Out of all the later X bosses, Web Spider was the most recognizable.

  7. Boomer Kuwanger

  Boomer Kuwanger may be the most agile maverick in the whole Mega Man X series. He wall jumps like Samus Aran on speed. He can transfer from place to place on a screen with such quickness it’s as if he was invisible. His weapon is a boomerang that can slice through the most hard armor. Its not a good idea to have X fight Kuwanger first as a special weapon is most certainly needed to beat this evasive reploid. When fighting Kuwanger, be prepared to be quick with the thumbs, if not, X will be left looking around everywhere while being smashed by a steel boomerang.

  6. Wheel Gator

  We meet Wheel Gator in Mega Man X 2. His boss room is small, making it difficult for X to move anywhere. Wheel Gator hides below oil and comes striking up at X from random places, making the gamer paranoid of where he is when fighting him. When Wheel Gator isn’t hiding waiting to pounce on X, he’s throwing blades at him that can traverse all around the room making X have to leap into the oil where the Gator may be hiding. He is no walk in the park. Having a special weapon to defeat him is necessary. Stay away from those teeth, or X will become mince meat.

   Do you only own the first game because half the bosses are from X and they are the only bosses you have screen shots of. Since when did a penguin look “scary” at any point in history? Flame Stag is pretty cool but I have a bias towards the fiery characters.

   Yeah for sure Aruneru! I found the guys in X4 up to X8 to be alot more powerful and intimidating! Like Magma Dragoon and Grizzly Slash in X5! And Sigma just keeps on getting cheaper and cheaper!
