Colonel Redips

Colonel Redips is the main antagonist of Megaman X: Command Mission. Initially, he appears as the well-meaning commander of X and Zero who instructs them to destroy the "Rebellion" group led by Epsilon. For most of the game, he only appears a few times, contacting X about the mission.

However, after Epsilon is defeated, Redips betrays the team and has his military attack them, killing Chief R. When confronted, Redips reveals that he had been using them all along to obtain the "Supra-Force Metal" created by the Rebellion, with which he intends to take over the world and remake it in his image. X calls Redips a Maverick, and then a fight ensues. Redips is defeated by the party (but not killed), and before escaping reveals that he was actually Spider, who died much earlier in the game. It is at this point that the player realizes that "Redips" is "Spider" spelled backwards.

Redips is then pursued to his secret chamber where he is hooked up to a machine that uses a massive amount of Supra-Force Metal to transform him into an enormous godlike monster. This "Great Redips" easily overpowers X and friends, but then Ferham suddenly shows up and breaks off one of his Supra-Force Metal outlets, weakening him and making him vulnerable. Great Redips is destroyed and returned to his original form as he dies. In his final moments, Redips calls X and the team Mavericks for being obedient to their human masters and not wanting to "evolve" past them.
