The Mega Man X spin-off series began in 1993, set 100 years in the future while following a new iteration of Mega Man, X, and his partner Zero.

Before long, fans began to speculate about what happened to the Mega Man from the original series, and so the popular fan theory was born, that Zero went crazy after being activated and straight-up murdered the original Mega Man, along with all the supporting characters, before the events of this game.

The fact this theory is so tantalising and convincing has allowed it to stick around for years, no matter that Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune has flatly rejected the notion outright.

In a years-old interview, Inafune declared it wasn't in Zero's character to kill in that way, even if he frustratingly refused to elaborate on what happened to the original Mega Man crew.
