Mr. Wily known as Dr. Wily (Dr.ワイリー Dokutā Wairi) in Japan, is a former antagonist and later neutral ally in the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series. The leader of the original World Three, he was the main antagonist of the First Area of the first season, and the mastermind behind the Grave Crime Syndicate in the Second Area before being presumed dead, only to resurface in Stream, assisting Lan Hikari and MegaMan in their fights against Nebula and Duo.
Overview

Like his video game counterpart, Mr. Wily formed the World Three to cause chaos in the real and cyberworlds to create fear and panic in others, and was behind the Grave Crime Syndicate like his video game counterpart was behind Gospel. However, rather than seeking to create the Life Virus, Mr. Wily instead sought out PharaohMan for his Ultimate Program, and takes a more proactive role in Grave, rather than staying in the shadows before Sean Obihiro revealed his role.
In the video game series, Wily revives the World Three two more times before finding redemption, however in the anime, Wily disappears after the original World Three and Grave are defeated, and later becomes a neutral though helpful ally of Lan Hikari against several threats.
In the games, Dr. Wily helped Dr. Regal, his biological son, find redemption using the SoulNet, and is the adopted father of Baryl. In the anime, Regal is his adopted son along with Ms. Yuri, and Wily seemingly has very little care about Regal, stating that Regal is a dangerous and unstable man and focuses on his relationship with Ms. Yuri.
He is an old friend of Barrel, and is not the creator or Iris or Colonel. While Wily was behind the Cybeast incident in the video games, a Beyondard version of him was behind the plot instead.
During the first season of the anime, Mr. Wily is a mad scientist out to cause chaos and destruction in the real and cyberworlds.
In his youth, he was a brilliant scientist for the Ameroupe Army.
In Beast+, it is revealed the Professor opened a sushi restaurant name after him: Wily's Sushi.
History
MegaMan NT Warrior
In the anime, Wily does not deviate too far from his video game counterpart. He is still the leader of WWW, but instead of creating the Life Virus as he does in the first game, Wily seeks the "Ultimate NetNavi" (PharaohMan) in order to achieve his goals. He does this through the use of his team of NetNavis, all of whom are from the first game. Though his goals at first appeared to be to destroy DenTech City, he sends his whole group to participate in the N1 Grand Prix. All four of his human operated NetNavis failed at this task as most were defeated almost instantly, but he makes up for it by having two more henchmen working for him, who are later revealed to be solo NetNavis (who can operate without operators), BlasterMan and StoneMan. They succeed in taking down every Navi they fight, but are taken down in the semi-finals by MegaMan and ProtoMan. Wily believes from this that one of the two finalists must be his ultimate NetNavi, and watches the finals from his lair. Although a clear winner, the combatants awaken the true ultimate NetNavi, PharaohMan, who proceeds to cause destruction to mankind deleting MegaMan in the process. Wily then makes it his goal to capture PharaohMan, using an army of BlasterMan and StoneMan clones. Although PharaohMan is weakened in a battle with MegaMan and ProtoMan, then imprisoned by Wily's forces, he retaliates by destroying his base of operations while making it clear that he would rather be deleted than serve a human. During the second season of EXE, Wily emerges from hiding as the force behind Gospel (Grave in the English anime), but is thwarted by Lan and MegaMan.
He appears in episode 49.
He appears in episode 50.

Rockman.EXE Stream


From there, Wily fades from the storyline of Axess, but returns in Stream as a character of neutral alignment and walks with a missile-launching recycling cart. It is revealed towards the end of the season that Barrel had requested him to help out people to fight against the Cybernetic God (Duo). That makes him abandon his 'evil' attitude and fulfill his trusted friend's request. It is during Stream that his relationship with Dr. Regal and Yuriko is addressed: they are his adopted children, both of whom washed up on shore near his island research facility after Duo rescued them from a plane crash. Wily's past self plays an important role in the fight as well, as he aids Barrel in traveling to the future to join the other twelve Cross Fusion members. Wily built the 'Time Server' to allow Colonel to travel to the current timeframe using Duo's 'Past Tunnel'.
He appears in episode 1.
He appears in episode 36.
He appears in episode 43.
He appears in episode 47.
Rockman EXE Beast
A parallel version of Wily makes an appearance in Beast. This doppelgänger hailing from Beyondard is nothing more than the remains of Wily's consciousness, stored inside an "Android Brain". He is also responsible for masterminding the war between the Glaga and the Falzer as well as the Beast Factor's creation and of the consequent Big Change. Using the "Synchronizer" powers of the child Navi, Trill, he claims the Super Cyber Beast Glazer as his new body, but is defeated in a confrontation with Netto and Rockman.
Rockman.EXE Beast+
After vanishing at the end of Stream, Wily is resurfaced in Beast+ and appears before Chirol and Captain Kurohige. It is revealed that his home is located under a panel on the floor of Onibi Island (which had been flattered by a volley fired upon by Zoano FlameMan in the 4th episode of Beast because it housed a Copyroid factory of the Falzer's army) . He refused to help them in their quest for revenge and is interrupted when Dark Miyabi walks in carrying a rather large bottle of liquor. When Captain Kurohige constantly begs him for Synchro Chips (he got the idea after seeing how Miyabi was talking with Wily about giving back the Synchro Chip Wily had given him in the Stream season), Wily gets annoyed and fires a missile toward Kurohige from his recycling cart, but misses intentionally to intimidate Kurohige. He later gets buried by a rather large pile of cans that flooded into his room while sharing a drink with Dark Miyabi. He gets pulled out of the pile only to discover that Chirol and Captain Kurohige had used his Reverse Synchro Chips. He then gets rid of the two by having them work at an aquarium, so that they 'learn what the rules of this world are', according to him. Dr. Wily last appears in the series finale being turned into cached data by Cache while drinking with Miyabi. He and the rest of the world are restored when C.F. Rockman destroys Cache.
