Stop hand

Welcome! I've been waiting for you! You are strong compared to the others. I was bored because there is no strong Reploid left on the ground. Although I was not ordered to kill, it's too hard, isn't it? Hee hee hee.
~ Blaze Heatnix

Blaze Heatnix is one of the eight Maverick bosses fought in Mega Man X6.

Character Description[]

Personality[]

Blaze is a cruel, arrogant Reploid. He cared very little for his co-workers, who to him appeared useless due to his strength. His habit of leaving his own men behind would eventually lead him to his downfall.

Appearance[]

Blaze Heatnix takes his design from the legendary pheonix. He has red wings on his back. His outfit consists of a red breastplate that is often on fire, a black long-sleeved shirt underneath, and red shorts with black leggings underneath and red coverings for his tridactyl (or tetradactyl if you count the claw at the end of each foot as a toe) feet. His hands have a pattern similar to bird talons. On his tail is a green gem.

Biography[]

Blaze Heatnix was a high-level Reploid created by Gate to withstand very high temperatures. He became a member of a disaster prevention team who studied active volcanoes, largely due to his heat resistance, but due to him being much more powerful than the other member he would often ignore and even endanger his coworkers. Gate was then demanded to weaken Heatnix, who was disposed after Gate ignored the requests. Gate would later revive Heatnix as one of his Nightmare Investigators, sending him to investigate the Magma Area. There, Blaze would meet his next demise at the hands of X.

Battle[]

Blaze Heatnix will begin the fight by filling his arena with purple magma. He will then dive into the magma and attempt to jump at the player. While outside the magma, he will shoot flaming rocks at the player. after a while. He will fill the arena with magma again, but upside-down, then shoot energy waves at the player. When low on health, he will fly off screen then attempt to crash at the player three times while covering his body on fire akin to one of Heat Man's attacks. His weakness are the Ground Dash with X and the Sentsuizan with Zero, though any of Zero's attacks will make him flinch. Upon defeat, Blaze surrenders the Magma Blade, despite not using it much in his fight.

Trivia[]

  • Blaze Heatnix is one of the few Maverick bosses to be inspired by a mythical creature. In his case, it is the Phoenix that formed the backbone for his design.
    • The first was Magma Dragoon from Mega Man X4 who was derived from the dragons of Eastern lore.
    • Spiral Pegasus from X5, also called the "Skiver", was derived from the Pegasī of Greek mythology. There was also Squid Adler from the same game, who was derived from the kraken, hence his nickname, the Volt Kraken.
    • Avalanche Yeti from X8 was based on a yeti.
  • Etymology: Blaze Heatnix's name comes from a pun on "phoenix" (his design basis), and "heat."
  • Blaze Heatnix is the only fire-based boss from the canon Mega Man X games to be weak to an earth-based weapon. In this case, it is the Ground Dash.
  • The level in which Blaze makes his lair is often considered to be one of the most poorly-designed levels, as you have to fight against many Nightmare Snakes.
  • Even though he is based on the legendary Phoenix, Blaze is said to be a masculine Repliroid, and is thus the only Maverick boss to be the wrong gender.
  • Blaze Heatnix is one of two Repliroid bosses who did something to deserve being killed prior to the game, the other being Infinity Mijinion.
