This may not make the most sense but I have theory of why they changed the Z into a X:
On American TV, The Letter Z is often tacked on the concept of sleeping or something sleep related. Z's are commonly used to represent snoring which means the characters is asleep.
X are often used on the concepts of extremes or death which varies each case. When a character faints or "dies" in an american cartoons, an "X" are in each of the characters eyes. Also, the crossbones in the Death related Skull and Crossbones are often connected to fact they look like an X.
The usage of X and Z in the ways mentioned above has used for many year (can be track back to 1930's films) and has become seeded in traditional entertainment tools. Which in turns causes society to unknowingly associate X with death and Z with sleeping.
The case is that Cold Killer Z would sounds more like a sleeping medicine that works on removing cold while Cold Killer X sound like a medicine that would literally "Kill" the cold. Or at least, that's how the average American audience member might come to understand the name.
The change really is more Cosmic to be more appealing to the audience more than Functional really.

I'm inclined to agree with the Visorguy fan, here.
It's probably just an insignificant change that has no real meaning.
"Cold Killer Ex"
"Cold Killer Zee/Zed"
Cold Killer X has a better ring to it.

And Capcom's staff is full of Geometry teachers who found this oversight disgraceful. Plus, they're all comic book whores who love X-men.

Also, I read that the letters X and Z imply speed in medicine names, eg: Ex-Lax.

Also, why wouldn't they make it Coldkiller X? Maybe a homage to Capcom's "Megaman X" series???

the pronunciation in spanish
when we pronunce the Z we say /zeta/ and for the X we say /equis/
and i must admit, than the X in spanish is a little weird, so i prefer the coldkillerz
and yeah, i say coldkiller in english and z in spanish xD
all of yours would prefer the X bcz you pronunce /EX/ and the Z /ZED/ or something like that
understandable, no?
Thanx Elriel! ^,^ ¡Los españoles dominaremos el mundo! XD
