“Little children, let no one deceive you… Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.”

-John 3:7-8

I love the parallel between modern games and biblical symbolism :>

Mega Man lore is absolutely fucking wild if you really parse through it realize just how much Dr. Wily is indirectly responsible for causing.

Wily is responsible for creating Zero and the Zero Virus that went on to transform Sigma indirectly. The same Zero and Virus that went on to shape the future for the worse, as they were major factors in both the Maverick Wars and Elf Wars.

Sigma became infected with the Zero Virus that evolved into the Sigma Virus and turned Sigma Maverick in the first place. Which would lead to 8+ Maverick Wars which includes him being responsible for attempting to drop the entirety of the Space Colony, Eurasia, onto the planet, which even in the Good Endings where it's blown up still causes long term environmental damage for years to come (until 100 years later where it's crash sight, Area Zero, had the nature around it began to regrow due to an environmental control system that survived the crash), just to try and awaken Zero's potential by factory resetting him and making him the villain Wily intended during the fifth Maverick War.

Dr. Weil meanwhile is the one who corrupted the Mother Elf made by analyzing Zero's body in order to find a cure to the Sigma Virus, and then used Zero's original body as the vessel for Omega which kicked off the Elf Wars, an event that resulted in over 90% of all life, human and Reploid alike to be extinguished and later attempts to destroy Area Zero with the orbital space laser, Ragnarok which even after his death at the end of the Zero series, Weil's soul and hatred haunts it's remnants as the Model W for the duration of the ZX series.

To put that into perspective. Sigma is responsible for the devastation of Earth and causing long term damage to nature for hundreds of years. Dr. Weil is responsible for the war that caused countless lives, both organic and mechanical alike, to be lost. Dr. Wily's final creations are indirectly the foundation for massive future events, his actions haunt the future by helping make the other two big bads become as dangerous as they did.

Hell it's even implied Wily still lived on and haunts the events of Mega Man X as Serges and Isoc are implied to be Reploid bodies for Wily, and X5 even has Sigma mention an old man who knows a lot about Zero and has built quite a few robots.

It's both really interesting and really terrifying to think about just how much overall importance Wily has to the Mega Man universe. If Zero and the Virus did not exist, the Mavericks would not have gotten as bad as they became in canon once the Maverick Virus became a thing, and there would be no Mother Elf created to combat a virus that didn't exist and later be corrupted. If you remove Zero and the Virus from the Mega Man Mythos... You can't have the story of Mega Man X onwards.

It's also hilarious to realize how much Sigma and Weil's greatest feats and failures from off the doctor's work through the Maverick Virus and Zero's body respectively only for Zero himself to be a major player in their defeats regardless. For ironically not only was it Wily's own designs that caused them both to not only rise to power, but it also those same designs that caused them to later fall as well.

Do you remember your old self and fond memories of your siblings and the good times you had? Or have you chosen to forget all of that and move on? Have you lost yourself?

✧ ❝ To have lost myself implies I ever knew myself to begin with. I'm . . . happy. I know who I am now. ❞

Got a favorite fanfic, fanart, remix, etc that someone else has done?

I like a lot of fan art there are way too many to name. As for fan fic i rather like "finders keepers" by tyrantchimera the idea of omega getting suck as a reluctant father is always a fun read.

It's been nearly a year since my last rant about my blorbo

SO YA KNOW WHAT HERE WE GO.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again.

I just cannot personally buy that Omega is just the virus incarnate. Yes, the Weil we see in MMZ3 and 4 probably would try it, but that's not the Weil who MADE Omega, was it? Not to say that Pre-Elf Wars Weil and Post Elf Wars Weil are two different people.

They're just in two different mindsets.

Pre-Elf Wars Weil was a brilliant scientist. One trusted enough to be put on the Mother Elf project in the first place. So any insanity/malice was either minimal, or very well hidden. But being insane doesn't mean you're stupid. And trying to keep a virus meant to kill everything and anything with a pulse under your thumb is... well...

Stupid.

Plus, I don't think Weil was really trying to make a murder machine when Project Elpizio was first thought up. He mostly wanted subjugation. I do truly believe the vast majority of deaths came from X and Axel trying to take out reploids that had gone insane due to Baby Elves, and later, the likely "reploid shields" Omega used during the final altercation with X, Zero, and what have you. Plus, Weil is the type to have contingency plans. And the world got messed up SOMEHOW. So that probably had a lot to do with it, too.

That said, Omega does want to fight.

But so does Zero.

Zero isn't X. He isn't bemoaning the fact that wars are ongoing. He's in his element. I'm sure he enjoys the peace when it pops up, sure, but he's sort of a busy body in the fact of wanting to stay busy.

(Mans needs enrichment lest he start tearing apart the furniture.)

The Zero we see in X5 is still the same exact Zero we've known. It's not some deep sleeping personality. Not some alter ego.

It's Zero. Plain and simple.

Another reason I have a hard time believing it is because Omega shows concern for the Dark Elf. And no, I don't think they were buddy-buddy in the Suit. The corruption placed upon the Mother Elf that turned her into the Dark Elf is called a curse, after all. I don't think she was having a fun time.

Not only that, but I don't think a virus incarnate would really care all that much about her anyways. She is a tool at best. Something Omega can use to assert his will over others. And Sigma certainly didn't care at all about Vile. They weren't friends. They were simply means to an end for each other.

Similar code or not, I don't think the virus would care all that much.

Plus, I just love leaning into the "white knight" aesthetic of the Omega Suit. (Leave me alone.)

And yes. I do mean white knight in both the literal meaning and the internet's meaning. Omega is defending Weil's ideals in the games. Regardless of WHO he is.

Random drawings of Oberon, who’s supposed to be the son/reincarnation of Omega

He was raised alongside Chi (son of Copy X) as brothers by their shared mother.

Speed-paint of my recent screenshot redraw— figured to show it before I forget haha

Behold the ultimate power of the messiah!

And it’s small copy.

The small model is now a keychain.

Here is a link for those who want to 3D print their own.

Thinking...

Funny isn't it? You spent so much time fighting against him, only to look after his descendant in the end.

That is the tiniest I have drawn Vent and Omega. I don't know I felt like drawing them, leaving the traditional line art below the cut
