 The popularity of the series prompted a crossover into the "Mega Man" cartoon from Ruby-Spears, in which X travels back in time in pursuit of several Mavericks and teams up with the original Mega Man.The storylines of several of the X series games were adapted into manga form.Archie Comics included characters and elements of the X series in its "Mega Man" comic, beginning with the adaptation "The X Factor" and continuing in an original story titled "Dawn of X" that switched back and forth between X's timeline and that of the original Mega Man during the early stages of the "Mega Man 3" adaptation.
