3rd numbers creation headcanons!!!

We all know both Dr. Wily and Dr.Light made the third numbers, but making all 7 robots together at the same time isn't very efficient. So I'm gonna expand on that.

First off, Dr. Wily made Needle man while Dr.Light made Magnet man.

After that, they worked together on making Gemini man because of his cloning technology. Dr. Light was happy with the results, but Dr. Wily not so much. He believed that the technology could be even more efficient, but they didn't have time to dwell on a single robot.

Then they spent their time dwelling on a single robot, Hard man. It was tough because of how heavy his body is, normal robot legs just weren't able to support everything. Not only that, he needed enough power to fly for a few seconds because he can't jump normally.

(Wily took the time to secretly add time powers to Hard man...which is why everything freezes when he hits the ground despite it being in the air. It only works for a few seconds because it takes too much energy and he doesn't even realise he has them..just a silly hc of mine)

And then they spent more time working on a singular robot...Top man! Luckily he had no complications, so Dr. Light even trusted Dr. Wily to finish him while he started work on Spark man.

So while Dr. Light worked on Spark man, Dr. Wily found an opportunity to improve upon Gemini man's technology...and rub it in Light's face! And so, he made Snake man. Why is he a snake? Because Dr. Wily wanted to make him stand out among the 3rd numbers. He even gave him red eyes to make him more unique! He truly does stand out among them...which definitely doesn't make him feel like an outsider in his own line....haha yeah.

Dr. Wily and his understanding of colour theory...It all worked out until Top man and Snake man found an abandoned robot somewhere. Wily fixed it and named him Shadow man!

They didn't actually need an 8th robot because they only needed 7 more energy crystals. They already had one at the lab, so Shadow man just helped around the lab a little...until Wily ordered him to take the energy crystal and fly to space.

Oh and a bonus headcanon...

Snake man and Spark man were completed exactly on their deadline, so they didn't get time to socialise with their fellow linemates before actually going to space. Dr. Light and Dr. Wily were sure that no problems would arise from that...

They were wrong. Very wrong.

One is avoidant and the other is anxiously attached...and they decided to choose eachother for company.

Remember, always socialise your robots before sending them out to space...
