Line 7:
** I could agree with you. Heck, this troper even made a WMG about it:
{{quote|You know, X has many [[Ho Yay]] moment with Zero in [[Mega Man X|X series]]. And then the Four Guardians are created, using X's DNA as a base. As a result, three of them [[Foe Yay|loves fighting Zero.]] Leviathan got the dominant homogeneous alelle, since her expression towards Zero is the most prominent among her siblings, and not to mention her being blue, like her "father". Fefnir and Harpuia got the heterogeneous alelle, and Phantom got the recessive homogeneous one, since he isn't too interested in fighting Zero.}}
** Just to add more fuel to this, if the Mega Man Network Wiki is to be believed, the MMZ Collection site reveals that the Four Guardians aren't just based on X's DNA, they're based on part of his soul.
** The same thing occurred to me, but I [[Poison Oak Epileptic Trees|prefer not to think about it]] for the same reasons as the original troper. If we want to go that route though, X's moments with Zero were never that... violent. And Leviathan is ''female''. What part of X's soul did ''she'' get?
*** This different troper tries to explain it: Leviathan's "soul" is probably also male, but then she ended up in a female body. (Can qualify for [[The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body]], but there's no clear evidence for that.) Nobody knows why they use a female body, though. The violence is because she (and her fellow Guardians) only knows Zero as their enemy at first. Alternatively, X's pacifism holds out those violent "passions"; since he was split into 5, the emotions are separated. His original gentle and pacifist self (as well as his own memories) becomes the Elf X, while his "hidden selves" become the Guardians.

== Weil wasn't allways evil. ==
Sure, the game established him well as a [[Complete Monster]], and many fans agree with that so much that it's arguably not even subjective. But let's check the manual: The humans feared that the Maverick Wars would happen, so he created the Project Elpizo, a project to create a Reploid to be a perfect ruler (the function of Omega) by using the Mother Elf's program rewriting ability to control all Reploids in the world, avoiding them from becoming Mavericks. Sounds like a good idea, right? <ref>note that X was against the project, as there was confrontation between the philosophies of coexistence and leadership.</ref> But as he said himself in the game, "The joy of ruling all that you see... Only a human could possibly understand!" And, considering of the nature of the project ([[Brainwashing for the Greater Good]]), put the two together and... [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]] - he then [[Jumped Off the Slippery Slope]] and instigated the [[World Sundering|Elf Wars.]] And as he pointed out (and as the Caravan shows us), the [[Humans Are
* Or he crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] ''after'' the war. Most of the war's casualities are hinted to be because of the Dark Elf and Omega(who are pretty [[Ax Crazy]] to begin with). Plus, given [[Crapsack World|the outcome]], [[Historical Villain Upgrade|it would be expected to exaggerate his actions.]] Not to mention [[And I Must Scream|the kind of punishment Weil got]] would drive anyone to losing all sense of humanity. This makes Weil somewhat of an even more chilling villain: someone who is [[Complete Monster|utterly depraved]], yet his backstory and original methods make him relatable. And thus, more disturbing.
