Mega Man

The Mega Man series, known as Rockman (ロックマン Rokkuman) in Japan, often referred as the "original Mega Man" or "Classic Mega Man" series, is the first series of the Mega Man franchise of games. The first game, Mega Man, was released on December 17, 1987 on the Famicom (FC) in Japan and on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in North America and Europe.

Most of the main games in the series are known simply as "Mega Man" (or "Rockman") followed by a number (2, 3, etc.), however in Japan each numbered title, excluding the first one, has a subtitle. The ninth mainline title in the series is titled simply Mega Man & Bass, and is internally referred to as 8.5. The mainline titles following this continue the original numeration, being titled Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10 and Mega Man 11.

Mega Man Zero 4 (2005)
Dr. Weil is controlling Neo Arcadia, and it sucks. The Resistance goes to the safe zone called Area 0. (it's the place that crashed in X5.) Weil is pissed, and he tries to fuck it up. Humans are also racist against Reploids. Weil is gonna shoot Ragnarok, his space cannon, at Area 0. Weil is betrayed by one of his men, and the beam shoots at NEO ARCADIA. LITERALLY most of the humans there fucking die. Weil fucking survives this, and he's fucking NUTS! He used to be a human, but now he's an immortal asshole. Zero can't kill Weil because robots are unable to kill humans. Zero says fuck it and O BLIT ER ATES  Weil. Ragnarok is destroyed, humans are no longer racist, and Zero has made the final sacrifice. Ok, so basically it's entirely possible that Weil might be Dr. Wily, and Zero finally rose up to destroy his creator. It's poetic cause Zero was made by Wily, but Zero became good, and carried out the will of Mega Man, who carried out the will of Light. Meanwhile the Zero Virus made Sigma+Weil carry out the will of Wily and therefore the final battle is done that's that boom shacka lacka.
