Lumine is a character from the Mega Man X series who appeared in Mega Man X8 and is the final boss of the game.History
Lumine is a new generation-type Reploid like Axl in that his powers and abilities are centered around his copy chip. However, he refers to Axl as being only a prototype. Lumine calls all reploids with copy chips "New Generation" Reploids. It is revealed that all reploids with working chips are immune to viruses of all kinds and thus cannot become Maverick. However, he later says that since the copy chips are created by combining the DNA of nearly all Reploids in existence, including Sigma, all New Generation Reploids can go Maverick at will. He is the director of the Jakob Project (the name for the creation of a giant space elevator used to transport humans to the moon) and the leader of all the New Generation Reploids. He is the villain of X8 and marks the second time in the series where the final boss of the game is not Sigma (the other being Mega Man X Command Mission, in which Sigma didn't appear at all).First Battle against Lumine
After a first boss fight against Sigma, Lumine reveals himself to be the true villain of the game and finishes Sigma off himself. At first, Lumine's abilities appear to be centered solely around the strongest abilities of the bosses of the game. However, after being beaten he takes on a second form that bears a striking resemblance to Copy X of the Zero series. This leads to the belief that the Copy X of the Zero series is in fact some form of New Generation Reploid with a copy chip.Second battle against Lumine
After being defeated a second time, Lumine falls to the ground. Axl aproaches him only to be attacked and damaged by a seemingly organic tentacle that bursts from Lumine. Lumine is then totally destroyed by the combined attacks of X and Zero. At the end of the game the player can see that Axl, being carried home in X's arms, is having nightmares and a close up of the core gem on his forehead shows that a part of Lumine has apparently infected him. This and the fact that the player, by getting all of Axl's abilities, may unlock a new more powerful version of Axl which features evil yellow eyes along with armor and hair that match the color of Lumine's seems to foreshadow the next episode of the X series.Voice Credits
