Axl

Axl was the main protagonist of Megaman X7, which despite the name had little to do with X. Literally no one likes this character, and it's universally agreed that the series should've ended after X5, as Keiji Inafune intended. Axl's backstory involves him being a former pawn of the mercenary group Red Alert, and later joining the Maverick Hunters. In Boo's Pizza, AwdryFan1997 depicts him as a wannabe villain.

History
Axl first appears in post 238 asking the new Maverick Hunter Director ShyHo about the whereabouts of X. He's completely drunk and speaks openly about his plans to kill X. However, as X impersonated Axl, and Axl forgot X's name, Axl identifies himself as Cloud Strife (the main protagonist of Final Fantasy VII). Axl wakes up later, after X's impersonation attempt is exposed and X is suspended from Maverick Hunter duties. Now in charge of the 17th Unit despite not being qualified in any way whatsoever, Axl threatens his doctor not to expose his plans and runs off to join a meeting. ShyHo reveals that Sigma replaced him as Emperor of Gaia and likely intends to commit mass genocide on the entire planet. Axl's idiocy and incompetence begins to show during the meeting.

Axl begins his evil plan by attempting to get Alia fired by blaming her for the deaths of several rookie Hunters that Axl ordered to be brought on the mission. When ShyHo sees through his plan, Axl accuses Alia of being a Maverick, and accuses ShyHo shortly thereafter. However, Axl is overpowered by the duo, and is forced to retreat via teleportation. ShyHo and Alia are then captured by Sigma, preventing their return to Earth. Upon his return, Axl meets with two mysterious cohorts who kidnapped X after he fell down a manhole. Axl then gives a speech, declaring himself the new Director. However, the majority of the Hunters are hesitant to this.

Axl later appears to meet The Judge at Boo's Pizza. After failing to recruit him to hold mock trials for his enemies, Axl is confronted by Donovan, who recognizes him. Donovan quickly defeats Axl, who discovers a Light Capsule. Axl overhears Alia mention her Helmet Upgrade has marked a location in Siberia, and sends the Maverick Hunters there to search, which makes no sense because Siberia is basically half of Russia. After a brief skirmish, Axl is taken prisoner with Donovan, who brings him along for the ride. Unfortunately, Axl was equipped with a tracking device.
