"Then the least I can do is fight with all my strength. Let's go, Maverick Hunter X!"
―Storm Eagle, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Storm Eagle, known in Japan as Storm Eagleed (ストーム・イーグリード Sutōmu Īgurīdo?), is a Maverick from Mega Man X based on an eagle. Storm Eagle was a noble and popular Reploid leader of the Maverick Hunter's 7th Air Cavalry unit. When Sigma started the Maverick revolt, he was forced into submission after a attempt to stop Sigma, losing the fight. He may have been infected by the virus, though by his own words, it seems to be out of duty. But these words are questionable as they were said with much reluctance, possibly wanting to oppose Sigma. Thus he may be a sort of innocent victim of the war. X had to kill him in the Death Rogumer.
In The Day of Sigma OVA, Storm Eagle was at the Missile Base (possibly Chill Penguin's stage, or even Overdrive Ostrich's future stage) prior to Sigma's revolt, and he was moved to the 17th Elite Unit for a short time. X and Zero respects Storm Eagle, being Zero apparently related to him somehow. Vile, however, hates him.
Storm Eagle reappears in Mega Man Xtreme as a reproduced boss data from the past protecting the core of the Mother Computer System in the Maverick Hunter Base. In Mega Man Xtreme 2, he appears in the Boss Attack mode, which has no relation to the main story. He also makes a cameo appearance in Mega Man X6 as an attack of the charged Metal Anchor, where several metallic copies of Storm Eagle dives on the screen.

[edit] Strategy
Being an air Maverick, he has advantage in aerial combat. Though his Storm Tornado and the wind from his wings only push X, but not damage him, it is used to try and make X fall from the Death Rogumer. The real threat comes from when he dives, as there is little time to react. Oddly enough, he can spit eggs, which hatch and release 4 small blue birds to attack X. His weakness is the Chameleon Sting. In Maverick Hunter X his Storm Tornado is much longer than it was in the original, being shown as more of a beam than a single shot, his dive has also changed, as he immediately soars back up after swooping down, X can dodge him simply by moving away from the area he is about to attack. He also has a horizontal swoop in Maverick Hunter X, which can be dodged by jumping over him. In Hard mode on Maverick Hunter X, he fires his feathers during his wing-flapping attack, these feathers shoot downwards at regular intervals, X can stand in the spaces between the feathers, uniquely this Hard mode attack is also used in Normal Mode after Storm Eagle loses half of his health.
It's possible to find a Life Up, a Sub-Tank and the Head Parts from X's Armor (Body Parts in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X) in Storm Eagle's stage.
[edit] Maverick Hunter X Bio
PRINCE OF THE SKIES
Leader of the 7th air squadron, his forte is lightning-quick dog fights and air battles. Always calm, cool and collected, he doesn't talk much and can be difficult to approach, though he is very popular with his men. When the rebellion broke out, he tried his best to stop Sigma, but was forced to boy to Sigma's immense power and now works for him. When Storm Eagle is controlling the skies with a new air destroyer, no one gets past him, through the air at least.
Storm Tornado
A buster turned into a high-power fan that blasts opponents with hard-hitting wind, capable of destroying enemies that stand in its path.

[edit] Other media
- In the manga Rockman X, Storm Eagle was a popular Hunter from the 17th Elite Unit, partner and rival of Zero, and had a girlfriend called Teal. When Teal died during a mission in an airplane, where Zero attempts to rescue her, Eagle asked to be transferred to another unit and Zero didn't see him again until the time Sigma goes Maverick. After defeating five Mavericks, X fights against Storm Eagle in the Death Rogumer, and when he is severily damaged by X to the point of losing his wings, Zero appears and stop the fight, revealing that Storm Eagle was just pretending to be a Maverick, overdoing it. He dies from the wounds of the fight against X, and Zero says to X that he envies him for being able to cry in time like this, and he not.
- In the Carddas Mega Mission, Storm Eagle is revived by Dr. Doppler as "Storm Eagleed L" (Storm Eagle L). Storm Eagle is now red with yellow and white details, and has changes on his appearance such as a longer beak and shoulders, and a more detailed head and buster. He dies after fighting X.
- In the Mega Mission history from the manga Rockman Remix, Storm Eagleed L attacks X with Burnin' Noumander L (Flame Mammoth L) and Sting Chameleao L (Sting Chameleon L). Initially, X doesn't want to fight them, but he's forced by iX/Limited to kill them with one blast, leaving only debris.
