Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite - Sigma - Funko Pop! (Ultron vs Sigma GamerVerse) - (Hitek Box - Gold - July 2018)
Sigma is the primary antagonist of the Mega Man X series, considered to be the finest reploid of the time with circuitry designs meant to keep him from going Maverick. He was once the leader of the Maverick Hunters, but during a mission, he came into contact with Zero, who at the time was under the influence of the Zero Virus and had been running berzerk. During their battle, Zero leaves Sigma badly damaged and infected with the Zero Virus. Although Sigma was initially stable after the incident, the virus soon took its hold, and he went Maverick himself and declared war on humans. He was defeated by X and Zero numerous times before being finally defeated on the moon in Mega Man X8, where they believed the Zero Virus will eventually die out. He is voiced by Mugihito from Mega Man X4 through Maverick Hunter X in Japanese, Charlie Fontana in the English adaptation of X4, Walter Roberts in the English adaptation of X7, Dave Pettitt in the English adaptation of X8, and Gerald Matthews in the English adaptation of Maverick Hunter X.
Sigma appears as a tall, bald humanoid in most of his forms. Although he has been destroyed countless times, Sigma's programming is able to survive the encounters in viral form, allowing him to build new bodies. It is implied that he grows more insane with each transformation, the most dramatic example being in X6, where, having deteriorated to a form that is barely coherent, screaming in broken sentences, and merely out for blood, only looks to destroy X and Zero directly. He manages to develop his data into the Sigma Virus, which allows him to easily infect numerous Reploids. He is fond of transforming himself into a larger and stronger form after his first normal form is defeated. He is a capable military leader, rendering him a devious and strategic opponent and allowing him to turn various Reploids, Mavericks, even other Maverick Hunters to his side, which is especially shown in X4, where he pushes the Repliforce and Maverick Hunters into nearly destroying each other. After his defeat in Mega Man X8, Lumineclaims that Sigma is dead for good and will be unable to ever return, though it could be implied that the "Sigma" that was destroyed is actually a clone, and that Lumine is the real Sigma in disguise.
Sigma appears as a playable character in the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite via downloadable content and be voiced by Chris Tergliafera. Sigma is also one of the main antagonists of the game, alongside Ultron, with the two using the Infinity Stones to merge and become "Ultron Sigma".

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a fighting video game developed and published by Capcom. It is the sixth main entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of crossovergames. Like previous installments, players control characters from both the Marvel Comics and Capcom universes to compete in tag team battles. Infinite features two-on-two fights, as opposed to the three-on-three format used in its preceding titles. The series' traditional character assists have been removed; instead, the game incorporates a tag-based combosystem, which allows players to instantly switch between their two characters to form continuous combos. It also introduces a new gameplay mechanic in the form of the Infinity Stones, which temporarily bestow players with unique abilities and stat boosts depending on the type of stone selected.
