History WMG / ResidentEvil

* Another Theory [[MadamShogun this troper]] has is that The U.S. Government was buying some of Umbrella's B.O.W.s.

What happened to Billy Coen in Africa (interestingly enough people think the protagonist in RE5 is Billy, though clearly it's Chris now having seen the new trailer), and what did it have to do with the mother virus? (I initially thought that Billy's exclamation in the factory was simply an [=RE2=]-style plot dodge; it's assumed that the player knows what a given virus is by now, if only from files, so the character does too. However, Billy says "mother virus," and no file in RE0 mentions that. They're all about the Progenitor.)

* ...is a Time Lord. [[spoiler:It had to be done! - {{Tofu}}]]

** the fact that she wasn't present with Wesker during his final misson in RE5 only makes it obvious. Or she jumped ship at the right time.

* He's still alive by RE5. He was seen in one of the latest trailer.
** He ''was'' still alive by RE5. Then Wesker punched a hole through him, and he wasn't anymore. Of course, he'd hardly be the first person in the series to come back from the dead, so he could still be a villain in future installments.

** Confirmed in RE5. While not using the Umbrella name so much (this troper is unsure if Tricell is Wesker's company or an unrelated, but interested, party), they use its resources and former research to sell BOWs on the black market.

[[WMG: Mike from RE4 was a Transformer.]]

* [[{{Tofu}} This incredibly Wesker-phobic troper]] is inclined to disagree by virtue of... Chuck Norris. Yes. Wesker is Chuck Norris. Do not defy my comfortable logic which-- [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny oh, hey, look! It's the Fourth Wall! * prod* ]]

They NeverFoundTheBody after dropping him inside the volcano, and the rockets seemed to have shot just past him, exploding behind him. Not to mention that it seemed like the lava was little more than a hot bath to Wesker, and he's already survived certain, confirmed death once before. If anything, the ending to RE5 is even ''more'' ambiguous as to whether or not he was actually killed.

* {{Tofu}}: This one's been {{Jossed}}. WordOfGod said he's dead and gone. (has a little party)

* {{Tofu}}: My secret is revealed! DX Back to the Evil Overlord List.

Wesker's more or less omnipotent, right? So here's what I think: he played a Game after getting speared by the Tyrant and managed to win, but made his first choice to come back as a Reaper. That means everyone in RE is dead, and Wesker's been trying to get them erased. Chris in this case would be the Composer- except he's not a jerk and wants Players to come back. So Wesker absolutely hates him for that reason; he doesn't want Players to survive. This explains why he's obsessed by RE5- he wants the role of Composer.

[[WMG: Leon's strength as shown in RE4 comes from [[spoiler: the Plaga in his bloodstream, until it is removed.]]]]

** She was vaccinated against it in RE3, yes.

* '''B:''' A descendant of [[HowManyTimesMustIKillYou Rasputin]]... Somehow.

Wesker created an experimental clone or heavily modified another individual before the Spencer Mansion incident, in order to fake his death with a body as evidence, and the BSAA as his witness. However, the clone survived, and began to develop its own personality and goals based on Spencer's, to become a god. As RE5 progressed, it began to degenerate as it was torn between its own consciousness and that of Wesker's. Facing off against Chris (who was a major part of Wesker's memories, which may have been implanted into the clone) probably helped with this, as well as the viral overdose. Thus at the end of Resident Evil 5 the clone's purpose has been accomplished in a roundabout and unwilling fashion, and the broken remnants of the Uroboros project and Tricell Africa can be seized by Wesker.

* {{Tofu}}: That is both terrifying and entertaining. More info plz.

[[WMG:Ada in RE4 is a clone]]
Well, think about it. Did you guys see Ada's ending in the earlier games? She seemed very adment that she was not going to use the name Ada Wong anymore. And yet, she was still Ada Wong when RE4 rolled around. I'm thinking the Ada in RE2, while she did as she needed to, could have been killed by Wesker because she allowed people (Leon, Ada and Sherry) to escape, leaving witnesses who could tell the goverment what Umbrella was doing. But at the time, he didn't have anyone better, but he didn't have the resources to make the serum that he had in RE5, so he used Ada's DNA to try and create an obediant, willing version of Ada, which is the Ada in RE4. But that Ada was still too much like the original Ada, and as soon as she was off the island and safe from the explosion, she tried to run away with the Plagas sample to stop Wesker from hurting, if anyone, Leon. However, he caught her and killed her quickly, taking the Plagas sample with him, explaining the pressence of the Plagas in RE5 and the lack of Ada in the same game.

** But then why isn't she in RE5?

In the newly-released chapter of RE5, one of the files is a list of test subjects. Number Eight on that list is "William". (Warning: tl;dr incoming)

* I've done the math: In RE5, in a file signed by "Alex W.", it's stated that the success of Project W is now down to 18% thanks to Wesker dying in Spencer's Mansion. In the new chapter, it's stated that there were 13 test subjects. 18% of 13 is 2, meaning there were two test subjects still alive. Alex is obviously one of them, the second one is unknown.

[[WMG: The emphasis on action in RE4 and RE5 is meant to emphasize the growth of our heroes.]]

* So Wesker was his own XanatosSucker? Holy shit, that gives a whole new meaning to MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning.

[[WMG: Chris has been genetically enhanced by the B.S.A.A.]]

Think about it. Chris has obviously taken SEVERAL [[TookALevelInBadass levels in badass]] since we saw him last in Code: Veronica. Now, if you read some of the [[AllThereInTheManual flavor files]] that you unlock as you play through ResidentEvil5, it says that Chris is their top agent, with far more successful missions than any other. Furthermore, the B.S.A.A. is an agency funded by big genetics and chemical companies similar to Umbrella. Lastly, Chris was clearly deeply shaken by Jill's apparent death. It's not too far-fetched to think that one of these companies might have had something similar to Wesker's enhancements, less powerful but more stable, and that Chris might have taken it to help him get revenge. That explains why he can do all of the following: Punch a boulder and not break his hand, move said boulder in the first place, use a six-barrel minigun (if you'll recall, the other ones in the series were three barreled and apparently using pistol calibers to judge from the spent brass), and stagger Wesker in a brawl, something he couldn't do in Code: Veronica. He's not as strong as Wesker, but he makes up for it by not having to inject fresh virus constantly and, y'know, by not being crazy.

Lastly, Chris was clearly deeply shaken by [[spoiler: Jill's [[BackFromTheDead apparent death.]] ]] It's not too far-fetched to think that one of these companies might have had a less powerful but more stable version of Wesker's virus, and that Chris, being ready to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge now that Jill was dead, would have said to hell with it all and taken it. That explains why he can [[MadeOfIron move a]] [[SuperStrength boulder by punching it]], use a [[GatlingGood minigun]] hand held, something that only a Plaga-enhanced person has been able to do so far, and stagger Wesker a bit in hand to hand (which he couldn't do in Code:Veronica) but is still not quite as superhumanly powerful as his nemesis.

It explains why Wesker was wearing his sunglasses at night (to hide the effect of the drugs on his eyes; they could've been bloodshot, for all we know). Barry appeared to be obsessed with food (Jill Sandwich). The way Jill reacts to the snake venom looks like she's also high on something (though I don't know if there is a snake venom that makes people act delirious, SoYeah...). Rebecca is obsessed with practicing Moonlight Sonata, though there are ''freaking zombies everywhere.'' And Chris confronting Wesker... He's laughing for no reason, like he's on weed. But, as a coralary, Wesker was coming off his high during the game, because he was able to pull off coming BackFromTheDead.
