[[WMG: The Sourcerer is [[VideoGame/SonicForces Infinite]] reborn as a human.]]
Is an OmnicidalManiac who wants to destroy civilization for a barely explained reason? Has some form of [[RealityWarper control]] over a virtual reality? Is impossibly edgy in just about every facet of their appearance and general demeanor? Throws a tantrum when they get bested by a heroic (or anti-heroic) character? Teams up with a ManipulativeBastard villain who commands a powerful army? The Sourcerer ticks the same boxes as Infinite does.

[[WMG: In ''Guardian Code'', Sourcerer will get upstaged by Megabyte.]]
The guy's a MagnificentBastard who's turned on just about anyone who he's enlisted the help of or anyone who's enlisted ''his'' help. It's not so much a matter of ''if'' his alliance with the Sourcerer remains intact, but rather ''when'' the virus will turn on him and begin seizing power of the external world as opposed to destroying it. Whether or not he kills the edge singularity who brought him to life, spares him out of some form of gratitude and merely locks him away, or uses him as a physical body of sorts is up for grabs.

** As was mentioned above, ''ReBoot'' was made in the 90's--1994, to be exact. The series far and away predates the concept of automatic updates for mainstream operating systems. [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/224420 Windows 98]] was the first Microsoft operating system to have a program that ''scanned'' for updates and ''notified'' the user if any were available. It wouldn't be until Windows Me, however, that this feature included the ability to ''automatically'' download updates and install them. It's only been since Windows 10 that these automatic updates have been taken completely out of the user's hands.

[[WMG: In '"Reboot: The Guardian Code,'' the ContinuityReboot will be referenced as a canonical in-universe event.]]
In the future of the original show, Mainframe undergoes a system reformatting that makes the characters different design-wise and possibly personality-wise. Their memories will be altered and there may be use of BroadStrokes while incorporating new elements into the show. A possible storyline could be the characters discovering what happened in the events of the original show, possibly to prevent similar conflicts.

[[WMG:Ray Tracer is a surfboard.]]
The part of him that looks like a sprite is a HardLight projection he uses to interact with people and defend himself. That's why he can dissolve into the surfboard – his sprite form was never real in the first place. That's also why punching him in the surfboard doesn't just hurt, it knocks him out. It's like punching him in the brain.

[[WMG:Megabyte/Hexadecimal is a creation of Command and Conquer's Kane.]]
Something about their effectiveness and power levels. Also his own tagline "To Corrupt and Conquer". Mainframe is a test before unleashing it or them on GDI's systems/the world's systems. Doesn't help that cyberspace is visualised in a similar way several times in Tiberium Dawn, and Kane's history is apparently tied up with the Scrin. One could almost extend this to Daemon.

* Conversely the copy of Medusa ''is'' Daemon. Megabyte said Hexadecimal's Medusa is quite inferior to his so it's likely he designed it to infect Gaurdians and by the time it's infection followed Bob into the Super Computer it mutated into Daemon and skipped the stone part and went straight to waiting until time runs out to delete everything(which Medusa does after turning things to stone: it waits for a time before it deletes the object).

* Does he even know about Hexadecimal's gift? Considering with his ability to infect multiple people at once (yes, the tentacles can be blocked), that just seems like overkill if he does. Not that he's beneath that or anything.

* Hexadecimal was empowered empowered by the Core of Mainframe at the time. Granted, Gigabyte + Mainframe Core would probably wipe the floor with Daemon, though Daemon's powers seem more well purposed for massive widespread destruction than Gigabyte would be.

[[WMG:Portals as magical plot devices...]]
Sometimes they just work like an Internet connection between two computers. Sometimes they can bypass any and all defenses and firewalls. There is a simple, logical explanation for this discrepancy: port numbers. Firewalls can be configured to leave certain ports open, generally for online games or other types of networking program. Similarly, some defenses may only cover the commonly used ports, leaving less exploitable ones open. It's possible that a portal can be configured to go through an open port, instead of being limited to the standard TCP/IP ports.

[[WMG: Megabyte created Daemon]]
He created a copy of Medusa and Bob had to go to the Super Computer to stop it. Megabyte could have created another Viral Bug and sent it into the Super Computer while Bob was entering it and programed it to infect Gaurdians and draw enough power to take a humanoid shape. Daemon did say she wasn't an entity...

[[WMG: Gigabyte is more powerful than Daemon]]

Hexadecimal was an equal match for Daemon, and he has many useful powers that she lacks, such as generating portals. Gigabyte was only ever shown in a severely weakened state and with an energy parasite (the web creature) strapped to his back. At full power he was likely more dangerous than Daemon, at least 1 on 1, and if he ever got to full strength it might be impossible to stop him.

There's a lot of callous behavior toward the [[WhatMeasureIsAMook viral binomes]] while Bob wanted to spare Megabyte. However, there might be a good reason: when virals lose their commander, they still try to live up to their standing orders. Megabyte's army would like be in open revolt and try to exterminate their infector's killers. However, if Megabyte could be reformed, then they could cleanse Megabyte's army in short order.

** The Game is a reference to Mortal Kombat, and several of the games from that series have their final bosses as freely playable. Zaytan seens to be a reference to Satan, in Mortal Kombat Shinnok plays that role, he was playable as a regular character in his debut game and started things off by killing off a few heavenly characters. Perhaps unintentional but it fits pretty well.

If I recall correctly, Mouse was stated to be a hacker. And if we assume that Reboot terminology is consistent with rel life terminology, that would make Mouse a true hacker. (leap of logic goes to Trinity from The Matrix before she woke up?) As a result, she IS a user and her appearance is merely an avatar to prevent the denizens of Mainframe from effectively looking at an Eldrich Abomination.

*Alternatively, she could be a program created by a user for the purposes of hacking. Said user could then have moved on to other programs or methods, leaving her to her own devices and allowing her to become autonomous.

[[WMG: Mainframe is part of a spoke-type network with the super computer at the core]]

The way the games worked was that they were loaded off the super computer (probably as either free-ware games or perhaps games that are being beta tested). The vast majority of the computers only connect to the super computer, rather than being open accessed to each other (with limited access to the web). This helps to explain why Matrix and Andraia could travel through games to other systems. Also their accelerated growth could be due to the super computer processing the games and game data faster than the average computer. Along with this, the guardians were a standardized anti-viral program for this network. All in all, this could be a network for a company developing games, and the the reasons why games are so detrimental are because they aren't free of bugs yet.
