Lex Loath, known as "Rōsu Kuppakarubi" (ロース・クッパカルビ) in Japan, is a character from the Mega Man Legends series and the main antagonist of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Loath is the leader of the Loath family and a greedy black market financier that has made a fortune through unsavory tactics.

History[]

In The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Lex Loath loaned a million Zenny to Teisel Bonne, and some time later he sent Glyde to collect payment. As Teisel was unable to pay back the loan, he and his little brother Bon Bonne were taken prisoner, where Loath forced them and other indebted prisoner Diggers as slaves to uncover the legendary Colossus, a massive Reaverbot of untold power. Loath is the main antagonist in The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, using the Colossus against the Bonnes in the end of the game. After the Colossus' defeat, Loath and Glyde fall in the ocean, and Loath begins begging for his life to be spared. Tron decides to tie and drop them at the police station near Denise, letting her gain the credit for their arrest.

Loath's cameo in Mega Man Legends 2

It is unknown what happened to Loath after The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, but he has a cameo appearance in Mega Man Legends 2 inside the airship King Glydon that looks like a memorial, suggesting that he passed away sometime between the two games.

Etymology[]

His English name appears to be based on the supervillain Lex Luthor of the Superman comics appearing in the DC universe. Both even wear similar clothing. Loath was an adjective for something hostile or unpleasant, as in loathsome, but those meanings are now considered obsolete.

His Japanese name appears to be derived from loin (ロース rōsu in Japanese, derived from the English roast, ロースト rōsuto), Gukbap (クッパ kuppa) and Galbi (カルビ Karubi).

Trivia[]

  • Like many characters in the Mega Man Legends series, Lex Loath appears to have cybernetic prosthetics, sporting a pair of 4-fingered mechanical hands as well as a metal nose.
