Wire Sponge, known in Japan as Wire Hetimarl (ワイヤー・ヘチマール Wire Hetimarl?), is a sponge-type Maverick from Mega Man X2. Created in one of Sigma's Maverick producing factories, an accident resulted in him having a personality disorder, which causes him to be childish and easily amused. Yet, he still had impressive combat abilities and was placed in charge of the Weather Control Station, where he found delight in passing the time by playing with the weather system.
