How well does it fit with existing canon? Let’s break it down. Since X-Kai is introduced as “Leader of the X-Hunters”, let’s start with some background information on them. The X-Hunters, known as the Counter Hunters in the Japanese parlance, are a trio of villains who rise up to take on the mantle of evil in Sigma’s absence post his X1 defeat. ![]() Their ranks consist of Agile, the tall, graceful warrior-spy whose skill in battle is second only to Sigma Violen, a round, dim-witted powerhouse whose raw brute strength makes him a one-man army and Serges, a hunched and aged-looking mad scientist figure who served as the brains of the group. Sigma assembled these three in the event that his rebellion failed, and tasked them with continuing the fight while also overseeing his eventual resurrection. In the six months since Sigma’s defeat, the X-Hunters were responsible for the assassinations of over a hundred prominent Maverick Hunters, in addition to launching surprise attacks resulting in the destruction of many Maverick Hunter bases throughout the world. They set up factories to build weaponry and robots loyal to Sigma’s cause, and organized the second round of Maverick rebellions seen in X2. ![]() There’s also a heavily implied visual theme in the intro of X2 as well as the Central Computer stage that the X-Hunters were studying X’s schematics specifically. Serges is often labelled the de-facto leader of the X-Hunters. He has strong ties to Zero, said to be the only scientist capable of repairing (much less upgrading) Zero at the time.
