Wire Sponge (Wire Hetimarl in the Japanese version) is one of the eight Maverick bosses and a minor antagonist in Mega Man X2. He is the wielder of the Strike Chains.

Personality[]

Wire is depicted with a multiple personality disorder as a result of his accident in the lab which birthed him. Wire's personality is often playful and very easily amused. Despite his childish façade, Wire is still a dangerous foe. He is also apparently strong in combat, and his skills saw him in charge of a weather station.

Appearance[]

Wire Hetimarl is a lime-green luffa-like creature. He has a three blue panels where the mouth should be. His eyes are yellow and set in a black strip. Four arms project out of his shoulders. Two of them are coily and have hands. The other two have leaf-shaped projections and are less coily and are more tentacular, allowing him to attack. His footwear consists of lime green boots with yellow near the bottom. Four leaf-like structures sprout out of the top of his head. One of his defeat animations has him getting sliced in half, which can be triggered with his weakness, the Sonic Slicer.

Biography[]

Wire Sponge traces his origin to one of Sigmas labs, and had an accident in which he was given a multiple personality disorder. This accident made him become childish, but even so he had impressive combat abilities, so Sigma left him in charge of the Weather Control Center to use as his personal playground, where he started playing with the weather systems installed there.

Wire Sponge returns in Mega Man Xtreme 2 as one of the eight guardians of Laguz Island after his revival by Berkana. He is fought in Zero's campaign yet again, causing mayhem with the Weather Control Center before his definitive destruction.

Wire Sponge fights by using his Strike Chains, which he can spin to defend himself or launch it like a whip. He can also latch it to the ceiling, after which he will shoot seeds around the arena. When on half health he will also draw electricity to cast lighting bolts. His main weakness is the Sonic Slicer, which can cut him in half, but he is also vulnerable to the charged X-Buster and the Speed Burner.

Trivia[]

  • Despite his new English name, Wire Sponge technically derives his design and former name Wire Hetimarl from luffas.
  • The weapon that X gains from him can change the Weather Crystals to yellow, which means Normal Weather.
