*** Actually, if I'm not mistaken, it's stated that the Model Z Biometal isn't created from Zero's remains, but rather, his soul, meaning that it's possible that they NeverFoundTheBody for Zero. However, the real problem is that Omega is, at most, a BonusBoss, meaning that (in terms of canonicity) at best, he exists, but Aile/Vent never bothered to go after him.

The Trinity named themselves after famous roboticsts of the Classic era, so it would seem rather alarming for one of them to be named after the first BigBad of the series. However it's possible that after hundreds of years and at least one apocalypse, people have a different opinion on the man. Wily's crimes would've been dwarfed by the damage Sigma and later Dr Weil did, [[GreaterScopeVillain even if they happened in part due to him]]. Records on him might have been blurred in the century X was in status, and ''especially'' after the Elf Wars. Nowadays, all people really remember about him along with Dr Light and Cossack is they helped create the modern world with their Robot Masters and technological achievements.

[[WMG: Out of universe, Master Mikhail's name is a subtle clue [[spoiler:he's the TokenGoodTeammate]].]]
Master Albert is unsurprisingly the BigBad, given that was the first name of original BigBad Dr Wily. Master Thomas [[spoiler:isn't named after an evil person]], but Dr Light's legacy could still be construed as negative; the Reploids that turned Maverick were all based off the design from ''his'' robot, most obviously Copy X. Master Mikhail, however? Nothing of his legacy ever ended up going badly for humanity. The worst you can say is that his Robot Masters in ''VideoGame/MegaMan4'' were a threat, but at most it seems that he was posing a challenge to Dr Light and Mega Man, and nothing suggests Wily was forcing him to harm another living being. Thomas Light and Albert Wily [[spoiler:are namesakes of the villainous Sage Trinity]] because their legacy has been one fraught with danger, and that cannot be said about Dr Cossack.

[[WMG: Vent and Aile are siblings and both alive and well in each others' campaigns.]]
The details are up for debate, but the most likely thing that would've happened if this premise is taken as true is that the father and sibling of whoever was chosen as the player character simply weren't at the amusement park on the day of the Maverick raid for whatever reason (perhaps the sibling being sick that day and needing to be attended to), so they're never brought up in the script since there's no reason to angst over people who are still doing reasonably fine.

[[WMG: Biometal W exists because of BrainUploading.]]
The other Biometals are from Reploids, who already have an artificial brain and can survive bodily destruction. Zero was able to survive his first HeroicSacrifice because the chip containing his mind wasn't damaged. But Dr Weil, in spite of being little more than a BrainInAJar, is still human. What gives? It's established that his memories were converted to data, meaning somewhere inside his head/the suit there's a chip capable of storing his personality so things like Alzheimer's don't wear it down. What was left of Weil's human body may have been destroyed, but his consciousness already had one step in the artificial valley. Having jacked himself into the core of Ragnarok, it gave him a way to transfer and copy his consciousness into the systems. Enough of Ragnarok's computers survived to store a back-up of Weil's memories, allowing him to resurface despite not being a Reploid. That's why he boasted to Zero that he's confident he'd survive no matter what happened to his human self-he could just as easily transfer his mind to Ragnarok. He may have even wanted that down the line because it would allow him to ''be'' his KillSat.

[[WMG: Albert ''did'' model Model A after himself, '''but'''...]]
He didn't create it, he merely put the finishing touches on it - someone else created it (take your pick as to who - Ceil was developing it as a back-up in case the other 6 Biometals were stolen, a rival of hers made it in an attempt to one-up her, Ceil was working with Master Thomas or Mikhail in secret, etc), basing the design on Axl, finishing 90%, but Albert got his hands on it before they could finish it, and Albert named it after himself (either not knowing that it was based on Axl, or knowing but not caring). In other words, he's invoking ExactWords - he [[IncrediblyLamePun modeled]] Model A after himself, but he didn't ''create'' Model A.

**** There's also the fact that all the Biometals other than W have roots tracing back to the X series - Models F, H, L, and P being based off of the 4 Guardians from Zero, who in turn, are likely loosely based off of X's armors from X5 and X6; Models Z and X are obviously based on Zero and X; and Model A is likely partially inspired by Axl (since while [[spoiler: Albert]] ''did'' likely name it after himself, he probably took inspiration from Axl's design). If they included a biometal based on Craft, they would have to include ones based on Vile and Sigma first.

[[WMG: Making sense of Albert and Model W's connection]]
Back when the Ragnarok debris fell onto the Earth, they weren't Biometals - as in you couldn't merge with it because there was no system that made it possible. They did, however, house Weil's evil soul, which caused them to corrupt anything that comes close; they also ate sufficient amounts of negative emotions/cyber-elves that came near, because Weil simply liked it (considering his personality). It's likely around the founding of the Sage Trinity that Albert came across the Ragnarok debris, which started to corrupt him; he might be once a decent guy (at least relatively more than he was in the present) before the evils of Weil twisted whatever noble goals he once had. Albert then found a way to harness the Ragnarok debris as a source of great power: the M.E.G.A system, which allowed him to merge with the debris; from then on, it is a "Biometal", designated as "Model W", likely because he knew enough of the person inside the things. It is also likely that he made it so that the Model W can only work with his DNA, so that he can have all the powers of his own. He also likely knew about Ciel making the 6 heroic Biometals by studying Model W; her Biometals (X, Z, H, L, F, P) likely got the same modification on Model W that only allowed Albert's DNA to use it, hence what she said: "The power of the Biometals can be used to save the world... or to destroy it." From this, for his "Game of Destiny", he deliberately set up Maverick raids that left certain people on their wakes, in order for them to be donated with Albert's blood, which contains his DNA. As implied from the second game, he likely did this because he wanted to manipulate them into sacrificing people to be made into Model W's sustenance, as they're necessary to power all of the fragments up to complete his Ouroboros plan. Once it is done, the Enemy Mega Men basically have lost their usefulness, hence the game being a farce.

[[WMG: Another reason why Albert put his DNA into multiple people so they can become Biomatches]]
This isn't really hinted, but it's likely that he'd like to not only shut down any opposition to him and Model W, he also figured an idea on making them all his; specifically referring to Ciel's 6 Biometals. Thing is, Albert can only be a Biomatch for one Model, so he figured a way around it: making certain people have his DNA so they can use it, while manipulating them to do his bidding.

[[WMG: Deeper meaning behind Serpent's Project Haven]]
He states that his Project Haven - absorbing Cyber Elves (people's souls, basically) into Model W - was in order to remove all suffering from the people. He also states that Model W's power is not about destruction, but rather rebirth and evolution. Then in the second game, Albert reveals that everyone whose souls are captured by Model W can be revived back via its True A-Trans system. It basically lends credence to Serpent's goal, in that those Cyber Elves that Serpent harvested and then fed into Model W are meant to be revived as people again once he becomes a ruler, i.e Mega Man King, and especially, he would be able to revive people over and over again, making them all virtually immortal.

But of course, this is [[ArtifactOfDoom Model W]] we're talking about, not to mention the thing corrupting Serpent's mind, so there would be so many "catches" to this plan, like the fact that the Biometal is activated by people's negative emotions, how it turns anyone into Mavericks, and the fact that [[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortality may not be all it's cracked up to be]] (which Serpent likely not understands), i.e what Weil was cursed with back in the previous series.

** This isn't as crazy as it sounds. Normally, Reploids end up as Cyber Elves when they die since they go to Cyberspace, a la Hidden Phantom and X. Ciel is 100% human, so the chances of her ending up in Cyberspace or as a Cyber Elf are slim to say the least, until you remember what made her special in the ''Zero'' series, until you remember what makes her special: [[{{Technopath}} She's the only human that can see and interact with Cyber Elves]]. Perhaps she has a connection with Cyberspace that would allow her to live on in it?
