* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Averted, due to Iris being SparedByAdaptation, but this is connected to Iris' AdaptationOriginConnection with Gate: if the Nightmare Investigators were to appear in Chronicle 5, then, should Zero not have taken Iris under his wing, Iris would have fallen victim to the conspiracy led by Gate's colleagues. Granted, Alia would have had no part of it, as she already joined the Maverick Hunters by the time Iris was created.

** Fun fact: the picture on the "SparedByAdaptation" page is a comparision between Gwen Stacy's death in the Spider Man comic and how this trope was put on Gwen in the movie. And, should you check tropes for Zero and Iris on Characters/MegaManX, you can find at both of them the "ILetGwenStacyDie" trope, in reference to Iris' death in the games.
** Characters in whose case this trope is averted: Double, General, temporarily Vile, and possibly Split Mushroom and Cyber Peacock.
