As Mega Man was the one responsible for foiling all of Dr. Wily's attempts at world domination, the Global Robotics Union (GRU), simply stood by, uncertain as to what they should do. Due to their inaction during those dire times, many started to question the value of the GRU, and after Wily's fifth attempt at world domination, the GRU was forced to disband. The eight robots were all registered as DWNs (Dr. Wily Numbers) by the WRA, but to avoid confusion, they are listed under the category of "MXN" (Mr. X Numbers) in the manga. All eight MXN robots were created by WRA members.
