Wily Walker

The Wily Walker is a walking weapons platform created by Dr. Wily in the Archie Comics Mega Man comic book series that appeared in the Dawn of X story arc.

Wily built the Wily Walker as a walking weapons platform with anti-personnel and anti-armor support and decay-resistant chemical weapons to gain sponsorship from the military. Although Wily claimed that he only wanted to show its versatility and that he would have removed the chemical weapons for its final checks, the use of those weapons got him sanctioned for unethical robotic experiments. Surprisingly, the Walker was neither seized nor destroyed by the military, and its chemical weapons were also never removed.

Years later, Dr. Wily deliberately leaked its location in a hidden lab in a mesa to his fellow scientists Dr. Light and Dr. Cossack to lure their Robot Masters (Mega Man, Bright Man, and Pharaoh Man) into a trap as well as buy enough time for the third generation of Robot Masters to finish up his castle. While sending them the "deactivation" code, it actually activated the machine, apparently resulting in Mega Man's death when sacrificing himself for Bright Man.

In the future, X and Dr. Cain rediscovered it inside the lab, having been deactivated a century earlier.

Trivia

 * The Wily Walker bears a heavy resemblance to the Wily Machine 3, as well as being spider-like.
