Vile shows up at the start of X1 as the first real antagonist the player faces, talks shit about them and then proceeds to beat them down. Defeating him becomes one of the main objectives of the game, which makes him a rather major character in the series. He harbors real hatred towards X specifically, and his reappearance in X3 is testament of that, especially when he delivers that fantastic line
>"I will haunt you to the day you die."
Meanwhile Dynamo is the typical white-haired selfish pretty boy anime trope who's so strong that he "plays" with his opponents rather than fight them. Shows up in a cutscene, then you fight him once or twice and he just leaves the plot entirely, doesn't get destroyed or arrested, or even return in future titles since he's still alive as an active bounty hunter who's considered a criminal by the Maverick Hunters for obvious reasons.
Then in X8 Vile comes back without any explanation which I admit is just as shitty since his survival could've been explained in X5 with all the reality-bending viruses or sigma piecing him back together, or even in X6 where Gate is literally resurrecting reploids through robot necromancy. But either way he's still an iconic character.
