Dr. Albert Wily (Dr.ワイリー, Dr. Wily) is a character from the Mega Man series by Capcom, serving as the main antagonist of the classic series games.
Origin[edit]
Dr. Albert W. Wily is the main antagonist of the classic Mega Man series. Formerly a respected scientist and colleague of Mega Man's creator Dr. Light, the two had a falling out after his inventions and experiments were deemed unethical and dangerous. Years later, a vengeful Wily would reprogram six of Dr. Light's robots, which Mega Man eventually fought and defeated. Since then, he has created his own robots and built many fortresses, where he acts as the final boss. As a running gag throughout the classic series, Dr. Wily always ends up on his knees and begs Mega Man for mercy after he is defeated, although most of the time he manages to escape. His creation of Zero and the virus within him also makes Dr. Wily indirectly responsible for the events of the Mega Man X series, with repercussions in the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX series as well.
An alternate universe version of Dr. Wily exists in the Mega Man: Battle Network series, named Lord Wily. Originally the best friend of the late Tadashi Hikari (this universe's version of Dr. Light), they had a falling out after Wily's robotics research was pushed aside in favor of Hikari's computer science research, which eventually led to advancement of the internet into a functioning Net Society. A vengeful Lord Wily then devotes his life to creating viruses to corrupt and destroy the Net Society. However, all of his attempts were challenged and thwarted by Hikari's grandson, Lan Hikari, and his NetNavi MegaMan.EXE. Wily's career would reach a climax in Battle Network 6, as he witnessed the characters Colonel and Iris sacrifice themselves to save Net Society. Moved by this act of selflessness, Wily denounces his evil past and vows to use his genius only for the betterment of Society. These efforts would advance the internet even further and eventually lead into the Mega Man: Star Force series.
Dr. Wily's first appearance inside the Wily Capsule was in Mega Man 4, and since then, it has been part of his final battle in all main series games (with the exception of Mega Man 11), using different designs and attack patterns. The Wily Capsule he uses for his Assist Trophy role in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is specifically the one from Mega Man 7. Much like in Ultimate, he attacks by teleporting to random spots in the stage and firing four elemental orbs, which spread around Mega Man before flying towards him, as well as launching electricity downward that spreads across the ground. Unlike in Ultimate, he does not have a spinning ram attack. The elemental orbs can use fire, electricity, or ice; while electric orbs merely damage Mega Man, fire orbs cause him to temporarily burn in place and take constant damage, and ice orbs freeze him. The Wily Capsule in Mega Man 7 is notably one of the most difficult bosses in the Mega Man series, as it is only vulnerable to a few weapons, all of which deal minimal damage, while its elemental orbs deal high damage to Mega Man and are very hard to dodge.
In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
Dr. Wily appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

- Although Dr. Wily has a trophy on both the 3DS and Wii U versions, he is one of the few non-playable characters in Super Smash Bros. 4 to have different poses in both versions. Wily's 3DS trophy depicts his pose when surrendering at the endings of the original Mega Man games after being defeated, while his Wii U trophy is posed identically to his official Mega Man 9 artwork.
