When conscious, Sigma can also mutate its program. By analyzing Sigma's many apparitions during the Maverick Wars, the following questionings can be done: Its most notable effect is the corruption of a Reploid's mind, causing them to turn into evil, becoming crazy or aligned to Sigma's will as puppets. The true properties of the Sigma Virus are ambiguous and for such the extent of Sigma's powers are unknown.

The cyberspaces shown in the X series are not clearly explained and there is not enough info to affirm if those are artificial cyberspaces (generated by a network of physical machines) or they are the same as The Cyberspace, a parallel dimension whose concept was further developed by the time of Mega Man Zero 3 and escapes from tangible physical predictions.

Lumine's ideals could also be considered the beginning of a Second Maverick Wave, but his schemes have not lasted long enough and were not considered by Saturn. Instead of using a Virus, Saturn would convince Reploids through the media with propaganda that would spread the proof of his power and his philosophy. Seeing that was a schism with the previous large Maverick rebellions, Saturn considered himself to be the founder of the Second Maverick Wave and for such called his organization the Neo Maverick Army, although a certain hierarchy was still required to make themselves organized enough to stand a chance against their enemy. In opposite to Sigma, who had shown desires of being a ruler and always used people as puppets through the Virus, Saturn began forming a new organization that seeked to bring true freedom to all Reploids by destroying any kind of government, as an act of their own will. Since many criminals feared losing their minds to the Virus, they had aways avoided associating themselves with Sigma and worked hidden in the obscurity. In Mega Man X: Unit 49, Saturn waited for Sigma's death to put his plan on action. Sigma somehow inserted his own DNA in the Copy Chips used in the models who would work in the project and influence Maverick behavior on them. For that, Earth's Government used the New Generation Reploids who used Amorphic Matter technology in order to hasten the process and raise the Jakob Orbital Elevator through the Jakob Project, who had Lumine pointed as its director. Along with Magma Dragoon, he plotted the beginning of the Great Repliforce War and later dropped the space colony Eurasia on Earth with the help of Dynamo, seeking to spread as much viruses as possible only to see Zero's true potential. The Earth became severely polluted and destroyed, leaving the world in an era of darkness called Maverick Spring. Since the Maverick Hunters were low in numbers, a vigilante group called Red Alert appeared to fill the gap, but Sigma, with the codiname "The Professor" manipulated Red and infected his subordinates in an attempt to get Axl's power for him. Thanks to the efforts of the Reploids, Earth managed to become inhabitable once again in less than a decade, but people grew tired of the endless cycle of destruction and began plans to live sheltered in the Moon. Sigma Virus would then make its way to possess other machinery and Reploids in order to gain a physical body again and continue his rebellion through new schemes.

It is uncertain what exactly happened with Sigma's original consciousness after the assimilation and how the evil nature of the program affected his mind. After months, Sigma would turn against mankind and raise the First Maverick Wave on July 4th of 2174 and many Reploids who had rebellious tendencies followed his lead. Sigma was eventually defeated by Mega Man X, but he survived the destruction of his body since he had become a Virus. Instead of becoming completely subdued to the influence of the Virus, Sigma could somehow resist the evil program and assimilated it, becoming a new entity called Sigma Virus, that possessed that body. Cain and first to be appointed as Commander of the Maverick Hunters, but Zero's Maverick Virus was transferred to him during a fight and it began affecting his mind.
