Renaming the Mavericks

Anyone who has ever played the Mega Man X games,knows that when Capcom brought the game over Stateside,they changed the names of the 8 selectable Maverick bosses to make them appeal better to a Western/American Audience. Now,these US names range from good to generic to just plain childish.

So,Just for fun,I'm gonna be renaming the Mavericks from X1-X8. I'll start with the Mavericks from the first X title.
