| ~ Omega |
Omega is a massive Reploid created during the four years of the Elf Wars. He is Dr. Weil's greatest creation and was made to be the perfect ruler, namely by storing and utilizing the Dark Elf in order to mass-control Reploids remotely, thus preventing them from becoming Mavericks. Although seeming only to be a servant of Weil, this is proven false by Weil himself at the end of the game revealing him to be a god. He plays a major role in Mega Man Zero 3 as the secondary antagonist and also appears as a secret boss in Mega Man ZX. Despite only appearing in one game in the series, he is the secondary antagonist of the Mega Man Zero series as a whole as what he does sets up the plot a century before the series itself begins.
Story
Past
Before the start of the Elf Wars, the Maverick Hunters were trying to find a way to counter the Sigma Virus. Zero, after discovering that his own body was leaking the virus, offered his body for research. The body was put under hibernation, and his memory chip was removed and put in a new body. Two renowned scientists, one of them being Dr. Weil, successfully created the Mother Elf, whose code was able to counter the virus. With this the Maverick Wars was finally over. However, Dr. Weil was unsatisfied with the result, as he believed the reploids should be punished for all of the wars they waged. By analyzing the body of Zero, Dr. Weil discovered his true nature, that Zero's true purpose was to be a machine of destruction. He reprograms Zero's body, turning him into Omega, who would be his messiah for his new order. He takes the Mother Elf and “curses” her by inserting the Sigma Virus on her, turning her into the Dark Elf. With the combined powers of Omega and the Dark Elf, he was able to take control over every reploid on the world, thus starting the Elf Wars. Omega alone wiped out most of the humans and reploids on the planet, leaving a wasteland behind. X and Zero fought Omega, and after a fierce battle, managed to defeat him with a combined attack. Omega was imprisoned on a ship and set to outer space, while X took upon himself the duty of guarding the Dark Elf. Weil was put in a mechanical body that regenerated him, condemned to live forever on the wasteland he created.
Confronting the X Guardians
Centuries later, the reploid Elpizo releases the Dark Elf. Weil was waiting for this moment, so he took action immediately. Some time later, the ship with Omega felt back on Earth, so Weil went there to reclaim his seeming puppet. The X Guardians and Zero also arrive at the place.
Confronting Zero
Zero finds Omega, who is beating the three guardians with little effort. Zero fights with Omega, who doesn't seems to be sustaining damage. Harpuia helps him, but then Weil appears, along with Copy X, whom he reconstructed. Weil challenges Zero to get the Dark Elf before him. The elf is spotted on a residential area, so Copy X sends a rocket with Omega aboard to get it.
