Actualy i am starting to be SICK of ppl saying he isnt the same and i couldnt hold my statement cause i didnt remember where it was he got the *nickname* X.
But here is the proof.


When Rock was modified into Megaman, Dr. Light incorporated revolutionary new designs into Rock's neuro-processor. Later on, he makes these designs even more novel and sophisticated. These designs were so new, that Rock had to continuously be tested to make sure he would never violate the first Law of Robotics: "A robot must never harm a human being." The good doctor grew old, and had no one to continue his work. So, he sealed Megaman, now designated as subject "X"


http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dazeland/Megaman2a.html (story of megaman before he became known as X)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dazeland/MegamanXa.html X series (take not the proof is in the first paragraph)

Started as a man became a cyborg(Megaman) and ended as a reploid(X).

Some said the two series have no relation whatsoever.

He is only referred to as Megaman X occasionally in Megaman X2, and in other times he is called X.

In Megaman X, all we know is X was created by Dr. Light in year 20xx, then sealed for diagnostics test. Then he was discovered by Dr. Cain 100 years after that. THEN Dr. Cain imitated X's design to create Reploids.

IM pretty sure that he was sealed for 30 years. It was zero that was sealed away for 100 years. THen he awakens then starts the megaman zero series.

He had the diagnostic test for 30 years and then was sealed for 100 years.

Yeah well X is a nickname dont you think it would sound gay if he was called megaman x everytime ?
Rock, Blue Bomber, Megaman, X.

Would you find it logical if in game he was Called Rock the Blue Bomber Megaman X ?

:p
Thats why he change name and doesnt keep the last one.

Edit:

On the select screen of Megaman X5 it s either you pick Megaman X or Zero
