Created to destroy Mega Man, he and the rest of the Mega Man Killers–Enker and Punk–were revived after the Genesis Wave reset both Mobius and Mega Man's world.

History
At some point in the rewritten reality of the Earth in the year 20XX, created due to the Genesis Wave, the Mega Man Killers were utterly destroyed by Mega Man. However, by using the time-space altering properties of the Genesis Wave, Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily were able to revive the Mega Man Killers. (WC #1, #10)

Upon Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Rush accessing the Wily Egg and entering inside, Sonic notices guards blocking their way, and Mega Man recognizes the guards as the Mega Man Killers. The heroes then begin the fight the Mega Man Killers, as Sonic took on Punk; Tails and Rush fought against Enker; and Mega Man took care of Ballade. Mega Man tries to make Ballade hesitate and remember the Robot Master's sacrifice on him (from Mega Man IV), but Ballade has no connection to those memories. Mega Man then remembers that the Skull Egg Zone can mess with the time-space control, and the two continue to fight. While Enker and Punk were easily destroyed, Sonic and Tails attacked Ballade. While Sonic was successful at hitting the Robot Master, Ballade had shot one of his Ballade Cracker bombs at Tails, which caused the fox to be injured severely. However, Mega Man then destroy Ballade easily after Sonic checked up on Tails a split second later. Whether Ballade or the rest of the Mega Man Killers will return to the crossover is unknown at this time. (WC #10)

The Ballade Cracker is the Master Weapon used by Ballade that first appears in Mega Man #27. With this move, Ballade can shot mini-bombs at his opponents, which can hurt the opponent severely.
