Atlas (Mega Man ZX)

Atlas (アトラス Atorasu) is a boss character in Mega Man ZX Advent who is the Biomatch for Biometal Model F. She is one of the four rival Mega Men who seeks to empower Model W to win the Game of Destiny. She is fought at Oil Field. Appearance Atlas is a young woman with a muscular physique. She has dual-toned spiky hair, the fringe being vibrant orange and the rest being brown. She is characterized by her thick eyebrows and fierce expression. She wears an archetypal Mega Man vest with an orange coloration, white pants with a large belt buckle, and a pair of boxing glove-like gauntlets, unlike the usual yellow cuffs seen worn by others. Due to Atlas' hairstyle, it is difficult to tell if she is a Humanoid or Reploid (since it covers her forehead where a red Reploid mark might be). However, she speaks frequently about human evolution, implying she is Humanoid. Background Canon Storyline In her past, Atlas was a dutiful soldier fighting for her nation. However, disaster struck when Mavericks attacked and laid waste to her home, which led to her developing a "power-is-everything" mentality. She was eventually approached by Prometheus and Pandora with Model F, and chose to join the Game of Destiny to force the world to evolve through everlasting conflict. Mega Man ZX Advent Atlas first appears with Thetis in the Arctic Ice Floe, showing off their Megamerges. When she learns Grey/Ashe isn't privy to the Game of Destiny, Atlas doesn't take them seriously and instead destroys the ice to plunge them into the freezing lake where Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid awaits. Atlas is next encountered in the Oil Fields, hunting the stranded Raiders and planning to feed their souls to Model W. She reveals her desire to use Model W to hasten the evolution of humanity by perpetuating war for eternity, and attacks. After her defeat, she angrily flees, and Model A absorbs her DNA so Grey/Ashe can copy her with A-Trans. This also unlocks the first of Model A's ciphers, explaining the purpose of Model W. After Grey/Ashe defeats the Pseudoroids in Ouroboros, Atlas appears with the other Mega Men to interrupt their pursuit of Master Albert. Vent/Aile holds them off until Grey/Ashe can defeat Albert, resulting in the fall of Ouroboros. Model Z separates to immobilize the Biometals of Atlas and the others, forcing them to fall with Ouroboros. However, Atlas survives. In the secret Expert Mode ending, Atlas appears with Master Thomas alongside the other Mega Men. The significance of this has yet to be revealed, although she and the others appearing immediately after Thomas alludes to the Reploid immortality data and original human bodies implies that they were somehow connected to Thomas and Albert's plans involving the discarded data/bodies.
