One mighty happy family.
The Mighty Numbers may be made up of nanomachines, but that doesn't mean that they can't make you feel warm on the inside.

Unmarked story and character spoilers below!


  • Compared to the Blue Bomber who always destroyed the Robot Masters before they were rebuilt, depending on the game, Beck absorbs the infected Xels driving the Mighty Numbers crazy, essentially committing to being a heroic pacifist on his siblings. They reciprocate handily and help Beck throughout other stages and the end game as a result, and never seem to hold it against him nor even bully him about anything.
  • When the true identity of the force behind the robot rampage is revealed, Beck won't settle for destruction to solve the problem. He instead takes the arguably harder route of sharing his data with Trinity in order to redeem her. By game's end, she has a human-looking body just like him and Call, and is safe with the rest of their family.
  • At the end of Ray's campaign, she whites out before she can finish Trinity off, left on the edge of death. However, Beck and Dr. White arrive in time to find her before she can completely fall to pieces. Despite what seems to be a rocky history, Dr. White implores Beck to save Ray, and while the full ending sadly subverts how "good" it may be, at the very least, she's still alive.
    Professor White: "Can you save her, Beck?"
    Beck: "I'll try!"
  • If Battalion kills you, his line may be "You fought with honor, soldier. We'll notify the next of kin." He sounds completely sincere about it, too; not sarcastic or taunting like other Mighty Numbers are with their victory dialogue.
  • At the beginning of the story, Beck's existential dilemma stems from doubting himself and what's he's capable of being the latest member of the Mighty Number family. As the story goes on, he gradually becomes more confident in himself and his abilities, eventually to the point where he bravely treads to the malformed Battle Colosseum and rescues Trinity, Dr. White's previous creation gone awry, in the process. The final still shot during the ending features Beck dueling against large battle robot, implying that Beck proved himself to be worthy of being a Mighty Number.
  • In Mighty Gunvolt Burst, after clearing the eight main stages, Beck felt regretful fighting his siblings again despite them being a simulation in Dr. White's VR program, and plans on asking Professor White to change them once he's freed. It really shows how much Beck loves his family. When Beck and Call came to after escaping the collapsing cyberspace and return back to reality, Call lets Beck know that she'll always be there to support him after seeing his determination in saving the country during the events of Mighty No. 9, said with a heartfelt smile.
