ATTENTION - The Valdez Museum of Video Game Box Art has issued a request for information regarding a "Mr. X", formerly believed to be a benign contributor and donor to the latest Top 60 Enemies exhibit. We are currently taking any and all information regarding his efforts to infiltrate the contest in the official thread. We would greatly appreciate any assistance.
"Mr." is an abbreviation for "Monster," right? Is it one of these?
This doesn't quite seem like his MO but probably best not to leave any stone unturned.

TO BE CONCLUDED THIS WEEKEND (wrapping this up is gonna take a while lol)
* = Mr. X's points were not actually included in the tally because THIS IS A BIT
I think one of the most clever parts of the Met's design, at least when encountered on NES, is how it takes advantage of sprite limits. Mega Man can only have three shots on screen at once, and if he hits a Met's helmet, the shot goes flying off the screen. But when it's flying away, it still counts as being "there." So if you get impatient and pump a Met full of lemons as soon as you see it, they'll all bounce off, and when it pops up to shoot your ass, all your shots are still on screen, and you won't have a chance to retaliate until it's too late. I feel like fighting so many Mets in Mega Man games was one way video games taught me patience as a kid.
Also the Mr. X stage theme is my ringtone.

My first Mega Man was 2, where disturbing a Met would make it pop up and charge you, so that's the kind of behavior I got used to. I didn't play MM1 until long after I had gotten into the X games, so the original Met that only raises its helmet a bit, looks at you with lazy eyes, and shoots, is always hilarious to me.
Incidentally, from the MM Wiki:
I don't know whether that last sentence is an in-universe thing or a real-life thing but it's amusing nonetheless.

(He/Him)
I mean, I get it, its adorable.
I figured either Goombas, Slimes or this guy would take the top spot.
I had a Tips and Tricks book about Mega Man when I was tiny that described Mets as looking "like Sesame Streets Grover" and that has never left me, because it is a baffling comparison to make

It makes sense, because if you shoot Grover, your shot would bounce off of his helmet.
Hey, I think I recognize one of those mooks from a secret dossier that crossed my desk recently. How mysterious.
OK - here's another possible lead for you:againz stillz on teh huntz for infoz on these Mr. Xs may be morez outsidez in teh grounz
Mr. X
Mr. X (Ｍｒ．Ｘミスターエックス Misutā Ekkusu) is a recurring villain in the Streets of Rage video game series, being the titular main villain of Sega Genesis Trilogy Saga. In all games, he is depicted as a mysterious and wealthy crime lord. His Syndicate organization plans to bring order of crime to Wood...

For some reason I had it in my head that Mets had already come up...huh. Well, they totally make sense as #1. I'm stunned Lynels didn't make the list at all, given how integral they are to the Breath of the Wild experience.
But Mets are really neat! I love that one fortress level in Mega Man 4 that's Oops, all Mets! I also enjoy that many classic Mega Man enemies have "future" counterparts in Mega Man X (with one stray bat exception), but Mets are just completely unchanged. It gives the impression that they're the roaches of the Mega Man universe, resilient and unfazed by the cataclysmic events that led from the classic series to X (but adorable roaches, like in Wall-E).
