Percivalé Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) "A maverick is a person who thinks independently; a lone dissenter; a non-conformist or rebel; it can also mean an unbranded range animal, especially a motherless calf." lolol Wikipedia EDIT: FIREMAN BEAT ME I've always wondered that too, though... it's been a while since I've heard that word 'maverick' Edited October 26, 2008 by Porom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) As far as I know, a maverick is a calf/cow that has escaped a ranch... at least it had something to do with cows and the wild west I can't recall what a maverick was exactly >_< EDIT: Reading the above posts, I shouldn't listen to my history teachers anymore >_> Edited October 26, 2008 by Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Mavericks are the robots you beat up at the end of every Megaman X level. ;) Fixed, because you fight Robot Masters at the end of every Megaman level. In the X series, it's mavericks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
