    I think X was the first robot INTENTIONALLY made that way. ProtoMan had free will and reasoning, which made him unique within Light's robots. Wily's robots have greatly varying degrees of cognizance.

    By MM4 (NES), Protoman realized Wily was a jerk, and wanted nothing to do with him. Protoman's been firmly in a heroic role since then.

    Light's robots, including MegaMan, are like children who need an adult to tell them right from wrong. Wily's robots have broadly varying degrees of cognizance, though that seems mostly accidental.
