Nice work there. I never understood why they had to redo Zero for his own series. There was nothing wrong with his original design.

Yeah, I could understand that, but why did Omega, who (as I understand it) had Zero's original body, have the same sprites? Now, X I can understand. Sitting there like that, it's hard to make out what his armor looks like...

The original body of Zero is actually weaker, because the copied body is a new and better version. Let me quote from The Megaman Zero Official Complete Works.

---

The legendary Reploid who fought vailantly and was known as a hero durring Maverick Wars. Though the soul is indeed that of Zero, the body that Ciel found him was a copyof the original. Zero´s original body, which had caused much damage durring the Elf Wars, had been sent into space, and is now known as Omega.But Zero´s new body, showing at least as much if not more potencial than the last has saved the world twice over from the evil intentions of Omega and Weil, the man controlling him. Zero was last seen in space. His current whereabouts are unknown.

While he was sleeping, his body got probably analysed to 100%, by the scientists of the Research Facility. I do not think, that these scientists where inferior to Dr. Albert W. Wily, but at least on the same level and above.

The key to Zero´s creation is Forte, which was created with the energy Fortium by accident.

In the ending of Megaman 9 you can see Forte on a screen. It is not just cameo, but it has also a meaning. Dr.Wily research Forte´s accidental origins.

There are actually four versions of Zero:
Zero MkI - Created by Dr. Albert W. Wily. Zero´s original intention was to destroy Rockman and his own creation Forte, but this goal changed, because his age won´t allow him to rule the world, so he programmed Zero to destroy X in the future. Wily´s last will was to prove, that he was the superior scientist by destroying Dr.Light´s greatest invention X. However Zero wasn´t complete cause Wily´s time was running out. All what he could do, was to install the virus, which should later be known as the Sigma Virus and to put Zero in his capsule. After a century Zero waked up and searched for X. He encountered Gamma´s Unit and destroyed them in a mess. Sigma the leader of the Irregular Hunters, was able to defeat Zero after a hard battle. He was able to win, cause the installed virus caused Zero a headache all of the sudden, which gave Sigma enough time to counter. He shattered with his fist Zero´s headgem and knocked Zero unconscious. The virus saved him, but not with a price. He merged with it and thus the Sigma virus was born. Sigma was still sane, but after some time Sigma gone Irregular on himself. This started the Irregular Wars. Before this happened Zero got repaired in Dr.Cain´s lab, who awakened with no memory as a good reploid. He was then teached by Sigma as a irregular hunter and reached soon the Special A (SA) Rank.
In Sigma´s Fortress X was surprised by Vava, after X was distracted by a unconsciousness Zero. However Zero awakened and destroyed himself in a try to kill Vava and to rescue X. The only thing what from Zero could received was his brainchip, which has miraclly survived the destruction of the fortress. With this Zero could be revived, but Dr.Cain failed to create a new body, since his body couldn´t analysed.
Zero MkII - Created by the reploid Sagesse, who is actually Dr. Wily´s Soul in disguise. This body got destroyed by Sigma in Rockman X5, but got repaired by the Reploid Isoc, who is again Dr. Wily in disguise. After a unknown period of time after Rockman X: Command Mission, Zero decides to cure himself completely from the Sigma Virus, since he spread it unintentionaly. During the time he slept in his capsole his brainchip was removed from his body, for security reasons. The now mindless body in his capsule should stay 102 years until the Sigma Virus was removed, however the scientist Dr. Weil used him to create the ultimate weapon against the Irregulars, Omega. Omega was licensed by the goverment, but Dr.Weil betrayed them. After his first defeat against X and Zero, which appeared in a new body, he was sealed in a spaceship and sent to space. He was brought back by the now cyborg Dr. Weil to the earth, after the Dark Elf was no longer prisoned in X´s Body. Although Omega was more stronger than ever with the power of the Dark Elf combined, his final demise are in Zero´s hands. This time ZeroMKII now known as Omega was destroyed for good.
Zero MkIII - Created by the scientists of the Reseach Fability to counter the threat Omega aka ZeroMKII. He was able to defeat with X the reploid Omega. However after this threat banished, Zero believed that his mere existence cause destruction, so he sealed himself again in the Research Facility, this time forever. He was awakened by the scientist Ciel and the Cyberelf Passy. His forced awaken caused a memory loss, although it is unknown if it is temporary or permanent. After his fights against Neo Arcardia, Copy X, Omega and at last Dr. Weil, he seemed to died too, but we may never know.
Livemetal Model Z (Zero) - Created by Dr.Ciel along with Model X (X), H (Harpuia), F (Fefnir), L (Leviathan), P (Phantom) to counter the Livemetal Model W (Weil), which was created by Dr. Albert, by the remains of Ragnarok which are fused with Dr. Weil´s revitalizing armour. Model Z contains Zero´s consciousness (his DNA Soul) and his battle experience. Model Z was used by a reploid named Giroette, who was a chosen one. He could use the ROCk -System. He was very similiar to Zero, however, he was killed by Serpent, who wants to become the Rockman King. He passed with his last power Model Z to the chosen one (Aile/Vent) of Model X. Aile/Vent became to Rockman ZX the ultimate Rockman. Serpent, even merged with a empowered Model W couldn´t defeat Rockman ZX. Rockman ZX decided to put an end of the game of destiny. Model Z was last seen on the Livemetal Ouroborus.
