While, Vile just has that armory. While X has his one plasma gun, Vile has a missile pod on one shoulder, and a cannon on the other. Lets not forget his tendency to OD on ride armors and his dashing is unholy! Meh, I think he's cool, but I'm also kinda interested in his back story... you know, why the sudden change from should-be-bastard into a tragic hero?
