Talk:Doctor Cain

Dr. Cain
I decided that it was time to put up a page about Dr. Cain since he is a rather central character in at least 5 of the X games...I got most of the dates from some timelines (which are referenced) and from discussions with other Wiki users (such as Boko XVLII). As per the date of his birth, that is of course a rather arbitrary number, but since he discovered X around 2114 or 2115 and was probably in his late 50s to 60s at the time I figured he must have been born in the mid-21st Century so selected the date of 2050 with a ? behind it as a qualifier. Aside from that, I hope you find the rest of the information sound and enjoy this article, and if you have any additional info/suggestions/comments, feel free to share! --Yahweh 03:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I've personally always held a theory that X was uncovered in 2117 rather than 2114-2115. If you subtract 130 from each year on X1's startup screen, you get some fairly important dates in Capcom's history, and the first game was released in 1987. This fits just a bit nicer with the other dates, and it would make sense that Cain's computer might not be brand new. Smoke 10:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: Mega Man X and the Reploids
I just got out my manual for Mega Man X, and hopefully this should clear up some of the stuff in this area of your article. I also apologize if I come off as rude. I'm not the greatest English student in the world, and I need to work on my tone.

Bear in mind, I'm only using the English version of everything, so there may be mistranslations that lead to errors in the manual or anywhere else. If that's the case, I may be wrong on some points.

"Reploids are artificial beings based on the design of Mega Man X, hence replications of his design. The first reploid he designed was called Sigma."

On November 22nd in Dr. Cain's journal, he writes, "With X's help I have completed my first "Reploid." It does not say that Sigma was the first Reploid created by Dr. Cain. In fact, on the next page in the February 16th excerpt, it says, "Sigma is one of the most intelligent reploids I've created and contains my latest circuit designs." This implies that Sigma was one of the later Reploids created by Dr. Cain.

"Two months later (February of 2116, officially 21XX), Cain's reploids had become so successful that reploid assembly lines had become commonplace around the globe."

The Journal of Dr. Cain says on January 3rd that "The new reploids have been runing off the assembly line for several weeks." It does not say that there were assembly lines around the globe.

"One month later (March of 2116, officially 21XX) Cain assembles the Maverick Hunters (known as the Irregular Hunters in the Japanese series), after the first three Maverick instances occur.

One month later (April of 2116, officially 21XX) Sigma takes the lead of the Maverick Hunters."

It says on February 16th, that Sigma took lead of the Hunters the same time they were formed.

The defeat spreads a virus to Sigma, which at first becomes known as the Sigma Virus, but later more accurately as the Zero Virus.

The Zero Virus is first mentioned in Megaman X5, when the Sigma Virus and the Colony Virus fuse to form the Zero virus, an airborne virus in the shape of Zero. The Zero virus is not the same as the Sigma Virus.

Aleutian?
Who put that for Cain's first name? He has never been given a first name throughout the entire series to my knowledge.
