Serges and Isoc - The Wily Connection

Serges


“Like the legendary mad scientist, he is a super genius!”[1]

For decades now, fans have pondered about Serges (Mega Man X2)[2], Isoc (Mega Man X6)[3], and their implied connection to Zero’s creator: Dr. Wily.

Serges, in particular, had his genius compared to the “legendary mad scientist”[4], and accomplished several nigh-impossible feats. He…

Made the Z-saber[5] using X-buster technology,[6][7][8] Revived[9] the unanalyzable[10] Zero when no one else could[11][12][13], not even the most gifted roboticist of the 22nd century[14], Knew about X and Thomas Light[15] (insinuating antagonism)[16], as well as the ‘Rockman’ title[17], coinciding with Sigma having learned the identity of Zero’s creator.[18]


Isoc

“The horizontal piece on his head is supposed to be hair.”[19]


Meanwhile, Isoc was designed by Haruki Suegetsu (illustrator) while “thinking about a certain scientist”[20], shares a voice actor with Dr. Wily (the late Takeshi Aono), and...

Had an unhealthy obsession with Zero,[21][22] “Saw” Zero before anyone found out he was alive,[23] Knew Zero “inside out”, claiming he could capture him “at any time”,[24] and successfully trapped Zero in an unbreakable timed-release force field to emphasize that point,[25][26] Only to end up being mysteriously ‘Erased’,[27][28] And seemingly called out to Zero -- inside of his mind -- to motivate “the strongest robot”.[29]

In other words, both of these Reploids boast intimate knowledge about Zero that no one but his own creator should have. They also both have personality quirks similar to the good doctor.

It’s almost as if the two of them... were Wily himself.


Dr. Wily


“Dr. Wily had died in the interim but was brought back by the virus.”[30]

To further complicate matters, Sigma claimed to have partnered up with an ‘old man’ (Mega Man X5)[31][32][33][34], who fans have identified as Dr. Wily.

That old man…

Hated X as much as Sigma did,[35] Was someone who Zero saw inside of his dreams,[36][37] Knew quite a lot about Zero, almost like a father,[38] Created an endless amount of robots in the past[39], plus several in the present,[40][41][42][43] Told Sigma that Zero is the world’s strongest[44][45], but also that the current Zero is not the ‘real’ Zero,[46][47] Advised Sigma on how to awaken Zero’s true self[48][49], creating the Zero Virus from the merger of the Sigma Virus and the Colony Virus in order to do so,[50][51][52] And seemingly called out to Zero -- inside of his mind -- to motivate “the best of all his works”.[53]

Since Keiji Inafune (X-series Planner and Producer) stated that Wily “had died in the interim”[54] (after completing his ZERO Project, midway through his Robot Virus Project[55]), it is unlikely that Sigma met an actual living, breathing, flesh and blood human. Instead, since Wily was “brought back (i.e. revived/resurrected[56]) by the virus”[57] that he himself created[58][59][60][61], he most likely returned in the form of a program or a machine: a twisted parallel to Dr. Light's appearance as a hologram.

However, when asked if Serges is Wily, Inafune always answers: “He might be... he might not be.” The creator thinks this is “one of those things that is best left without an official comment.”, believing in “planting seeds of imagination in players and letting them come to their own conclusions.”[62]

Now, while the fanbase has definitely used their imagination aplenty over the years, Inafune’s stance has left us without an answer to reconcile our own conclusions. The connection cannot be truly confirmed.

Except, as it turns out, Hitoshi Ariga (of Megamix and Gigamix fame) had revealed to us a large piece of the puzzle in his Rockman Database. One that went unnoticed since 1999!

In Dr. Wily’s profile -- based on the setting transcribed for the manga -- the following is written under “Game Appearances”, separate from “Manga Appearances”:

“During the X series, a Repliroid with Wily's memories, "Serges", appears in X2.”[63]

Here, Serges is outright -- beyond a shadow of a doubt -- said to be a Reploid with Wily’s ‘memories’. And though X5 and X6 had yet to be conceived at the time of writing, this same sentiment might extend to Isoc by association.

Furthermore, the same Sigma Virus responsible for bringing Wily back[64], does more than simply feed a Reploid’s mind with destructive impulses[65]. It’s also described as a ‘possessing malice’ that can utterly change the host’s very thoughts[66] and rewrite its ‘memories’[67].

Could this be the means by which Wily had implanted his memories inside of them?

In any case, even in light of this new information, we should continue to use our imagination. Does this mean that Serges and Isoc were indeed the one and only Albert W. Wily revived? Or were they merely Repliroids built in his image -- made to act like the original -- akin to the many robotic duplicates Wily has in the Classic-series? What if, similar to how the New Generation Reploids were able to ‘become Sigma’[68][69][70] (because they bore copy chips containing Sigma’s personal data[71][72]), it is also possible for Reploids to ‘become Wily’?

Despite an official comment having been made, many possibilities still remain. Multiple conclusions can be drawn from the same evidence, and everyone is free to come up with their own.

Perhaps Mega Man X9 will hold the answer?

In truth, the one who has more information about Zero’s origin is his arch nemesis, Sigma. Sigma is the one who captured Zero, who was an Irregular, and it’d seem he kept investigation Zero after his rebellion. It’d seem that, during the colony fall incident, he was provided with information by a mysterious old man, but there’s no details about who that was. Since Sigma is the biggest source of information, it’s hard to earn detailed information but we’ll verify the information made clear through all of the incidents insofar in the lower space. - Compendium of Rockman X, page 10 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O9avzTpu-BbApXE3weZLMfdjY0cWXuAW1cOHhujcPEo/ (translated by Sidier)

  45. ↑ Growth There’s nothing clear about who developed Zero and for what purpose. But it’d seem he’s a robot developed about 100 years ago, just like X. In truth, the one who has more information about Zero’s origin is his arch nemesis, Sigma. Sigma is the one who captured Zero, who was an Irregular, and it’d seem he kept investigation Zero after his rebellion. It’d seem that, during the colony fall incident, he was provided with information by a mysterious old man, but there’s no details about who that was.

But out of all Repliroids, Zero doesn’t only not get damaged by the virus, he also reported that his power increases during the colony fall incident.
