| ~ Dr. Wily to Mega Man |
Summary
The primary antagonist of the original Mega Man series, Dr. Albert W. Wily is a brilliant roboticist and easily one of the three greatest minds in the world. However, his work was always deemed inferior to his colleague and rival, Dr. Thomas Light, inciting fierce feelings of enmity and jealousy towards Light, which was very apparent in the meeting where the termination of Dr. Wily's Double Gear System project happened. After Light forgot to mention Wily's role in the creation of the Robot Masters, androids more than a century ahead of their time in terms of specs with near-autonomy and a full range of emotions, Wily's jealousy drove him to reprogram Light's robots and begin his plan to take over the world. In the long-run the conflict Wily began would last far into the future, centuries if not millennia after his death. His greatest and final creation is Zero, who ironically enough would become the best friend of Light's own magnum opus, Mega Man X.

Speed: Average Human | Massively FTL+ (Manages to tag both Mega Man and Duo with projectiles), higher with the Double Gear System | Massively FTL (Built Quick Man, who kept up with Duo) | Massively FTL+
Lifting Strength: Average Human | Class T (His Wily Machines are on par with Mega Man and some can even crush him under their weight) | Unknown | Inapplicable with Wily Star (The Wily Star is a space station), Class T (Creations like Zero should be superior to the likes of Mega Man and Proto Man)

Standard Equipment: Wily Capsule (A flying saucer that serves as the cockpit for most of his Wily Machines as well as his getaway car, some Wily Capsules also have cannons that Wily can use to fight Mega Man) | Varies depending on the Wily Machine, but consistently holds a variety of bombs, missiles, and cannons, Some Machines can fire the Special Weapons of every single one of Wily's Robots ad infinitum. | Wily Star and Zero (limited to X era equipment)
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. An indisputable genius in the field of robotics, building robots on par with Light's (or superior to them in terms of his combat models versus Light's industrial models) and manages to consistently challenge Mega Man time and again. His final creation far surpassed anything Light created up to the point and Zero was only matched in his combat potential by X and Sigma up until the advent of the New Generation Reploids. He also created a mutating computer virus that would later become the Maverick Virus, as well as a time machine. However, he is sometimes lazy and often petty, neglecting to merge the Doc Robot's personalities to prevent conflict and throwing tantrums over the smallest things. His arrogance and inferiority complex also blind him at times and prevent him from making optimal decisions.
Weaknesses: Extremely arrogant and often impatient and short-sighted, a double-crosser who won't quit while he's still ahead, is virtually helpless without his Wily Machines, many of his machines bear structural flaws that make them weak against the attacks of his Robot Masters or even the Mega Buster itself if struck in the right area, is a coward who will plead for mercy once cornered.
Note: Despite the numerous instances of Wily outrunning Mega Man, this is considered to be nothing but a gag.
