History Fridge / MegaManZero

** Then again: since so much of Weil has been Mechanized (even to the point that they digitize his mind so that he'll forever reflect on his sins), it's hard to argue that he's human anymore; hell, at this point he's might as well be the last legit Maverick that Zero ever fought.

** Speaking of a monster of his own making, the entire reason Dr. Weil caused the Elf Wars in the first place was because of his indignant anger over the Reploids getting a slap on the wrist because the Maverick Virus was cured. While not wholly justified, given the nature of a corruptive computer virus that makes one BrainwashedAndCrazy versus the ambiguity with someone claiming they were JustFollowingOrders, it also means Weil himself had vindication, as he was likely only one of many humans enraged about the aftermath of the Maverick Wars, and the persecution of Reploids in the ''Zero'' series' present only further proves him right. And as the villains of ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' would go on to show, there really would be more people willing to commit atrocities in the name of what they believe in; Weil may be the absolute worst of the ''Mega Man'' franchise, but put anyone in his shoes and the series goes to show that ''any human'' could become another Weil.

* In MMZ3 Omega is powerful enough to release a world wide signal that mind controls any reploid on Earth, and just when it seems like Zero will have to kill the Resistance members who have fallen prey to this, X shows up and knocks all of them out. Not only does X knock them out but he puts shielding around the Resistance Base, making it immune to Omega's signal. Consider for a moment that Omega has access to Zero's original body and the Dark Elf, making him arguably the most powerful machine in the entire franchise's history, and even without a body X is powerful enough to shield against Omega's signal. This speaks volumes of how powerful X became after the Elf Wars, that even a shadow of himself, and in a form where he's actively dying and losing his ability to manifest in the real world, he's still capable of doing that. If the real X had become the tyrant of Neo-Arcadia rather than a copy, he would be a danger on par with Omega, and arguably even worse.

* Copy X was designed when Ciel was herself a child, and she's barely a teen as the games happen. Combine that with the brilliance above about himself realizing he was a copy designed to match up to a legendarily impossible expectation, and you realize Copy X is fundamentally only maybe a decade old or so ''at best'' and several years old at worst. He's literally a child thrown into the position to rule with no morality testing, no one able to oversee or correct him, and expected to fill in for the greatest hero of all time. This also recontextualizes his transformation freak-outs when Zero mocks him or he's losing badly; it's not just that he's comparing unfavorably to the vastly more experienced Mega Man X, but that he's a child with a big stick at his disposal, and finally being scolded and put in his place by someone his technical superior. He's effectively throwing a temper tantrum, and in the second case, his blind, reprogrammed trust in Weil and the expectation that he'd childishly flip out again gets him KilledOffForReal.

* Because of the destruction of Neo Arcadia, where else would the Resistance take the survivors but to Area Zero? (The presence of Colbor, the leader of the rescue team, in the Caravan's campsite during the ending supports this logic.) If so, then Weil's ColonyDrop wouldn't just destroy the environment and those dissidents in the Caravan, but probably also result in an instant KillEmAll. So much for a slow and painful death as Weil wanted the Neo Arcadians to go through.

** It also tragically [[{{Foil}} mirrors]] Zero's development till Mega Man Zero 3. Zero is always hailed as the real hero, even if he lacks the memories of his past. Zero never considers himself an hero and his only concern is helping the Resistence as a warrior regardless if he's the legendary Zero or not. However, not only Zero's subconcious actually can in some way call back his past experiences highlighting he's the real deal; when the Resistence learned that Zero's body it's a copy, no one of his allies really care about it and are not willing to let a small detail like a copy body deters them from aknowledging how much good he has done for them. Copy X however was so obsessed to be perceived as a hero he forgot (or never learned) how to ACT like an hero, his immaturity and lack of proper guidance and experiences ended up being his pathetic undoing unlike the revered to the end Zero.
