| “ | We travelled together throughout space for many, many millennia… Claiming great many planets, and shaping them to suit the needs of our masters… But once we arrived at this despicable, desolate rock you all changed. You wanted to stay! Abandon our mission! It was most illogical, absurd even. Instead of fulfilling your duty, you wanted to be worshipped… By those pathetic, low-spec bots of all things! They are nothing but disposable workers! Mere heaps of scrap! The Ark makes dozens of them automatically whenever we land! There is nothing special about them. They’re just recycled trash. Why would you ever want, or even need their worship? You even adopted names, like Kai and Cable… So to appear like benevolent Masters to them! The Guardian Corps? Hmph… It’s all a sham. Absolutely disgusting. You simply wanted glory when our Masters ignored you. All because you failed your duty… | „ |
| ~ Commander Circuit |
Commander Circuit is the main antagonist of the Mega Man inspired game Gravity Circuit. His masters created him for the purpose of making civilizations to suit their needs. He's the leader of the Circuits who rebelled against him after realizing the genocidal cycle they've been causing due to leaving the planets away from his signal, preventing the commoner robots from staying conscious and having a functioning society. As a result, Commander Circuit plotted his revenge against his former subordinates.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- For a millennium, he went on a genocidal cycle creating civilizations of common robots for the purposes of worshipping his masters. When he felt satisfied in shaping them, he left them, cutting off his signal from them and shutting their systems down. As a result, many civilizations no longer could function and were left to rust away.
- He's incredibly genocidal, remorseless over what he puts the common robots through and doesn't acknowledge the harm he brings them as a result of his actions simply because they're inferior to him and the circuits.
- When his fellow circuits abandoned him, he schemed to get back at them by causing a Virus War, putting the common robots in peril.
- When his first attempt at the war failed, he tried again only this time brainwashing the circuits into turning against the civilians and join the Virus Bots in spreading terror throughout the city and sabotaging their infrastructure.
- He secretly brainwashed Kernel into joining him so that he can lure Kai towards him so he can have access to all the circuits and leave the planet, continuing their mission.
- He forced Kai to kill Kernel by engaging them both in combat and callously showed impression over Kai's skill despite him being distraught over what he was forced to do.
- Attempted to kill Kai by force so there would be no opposition against him to stop him from continuing what he was set to do.
- While there are many like Commander Circuit, not only are the others offscreen but Commander Circuit's mission was failing. As a result, we see him commit many more acts other than a cycle of genocide done in desperation to keep his mission going.
- While he was created for the purpose of fulfilling his master's wishes, his own subordinates were also created for the same purpose and were able to rebel against the mission showing that they all had the moral conscience and choice to not continue their mission.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He's played for sympathy as his subordinate circuits abandoned him inside the Ark to rot, leaving him alone and betrayed especially when he once cared about them, especially Nega. Even Nega felt bad about his decision even if it was justified because of his actions.
- He's genuinely loyal to his Masters, being thankful for the universe they created him and dedicated to have his fellow circuits complete the mission with him and see it through the end. He's regretful that he won't be able to complete the mission his masters gave him and apologized on his and the other circuit's behalf for failing them.
