Totally Sylux in a flashback prior to becoming Sylux. *Is shot... repeatedly.*

A lot of people seem to think he's Armstrong Houston for some reason. Personally if he's not... that guy who's name starts with S, I'd wager he's just someone new entirely.

Was apparently a bumbling comic relief bounty hunter that hung around Samus Aran in an old Nintendo Power comic. Not canon, and I can't vouch for the quality of it (I've never read it, but since it was in Nintendo Power, I'd wager poor), but apparently he's got a cult following or something. He was also white with bright red hair and a bushy beard though, so I don't think it's him.

Sylux was never part of the Federation though, he stole Federation technology but I don't believe he was ever part of them. Although it would be an interesting backstory idea, I highly doubt this guy is Sylux. For two reasons;
A) It would be really, really random to bring up in this game.
B) In one of the interviews (The IGN interview I believe) they confirmed that the black guy is a new character, a soldier who works for Adam (Like Samus).

They DID confirm he's a soldier working for Adam, but never that he was new. Furthermore, considering Sylux has a passionate loathing for the GFed and anyone who works for them, and yet everything from his armor, to his weapon, to his alt mode, and even his ship are all experimental GFed prototypes, it seems logical that he probably worked with them in the past, may have even been a part of their experimental weapons program, and then turned traitor and left with all their fancy new gear after finding out they were really scumbags.

True, but I doubt it'll happen in Other M at least.

I dont have the game,but i have MPH for DS and i think the guy is Weavel

weavles a space pirate though so it's not him possibly sylux though *gets shot* I just hope he's not a completely new character

I don't really think it could be Weavel...I don't see the bouncing pony-tail hair in the picture and Weavel just seems like he'd be more of a robotic guy. I don't think it is Sylux either though because Sylux was more blue and green than black and yellow. New Character!
