Yeah, but #50 of Universe is before they rewrite reality as it takes place before Sonic the Hedgehog #247 and Mega Man #23. As for canon, yeah Bass first appeared in MM7, but looking at the following details:

- Pharaoh Man, Concrete Man and Splash Woman appear much early in the comics  #23 even hints to Bright Man being in development.

- Protoman didn't debut until MM3, nor was he hinted to beforehand, and yet his backstory hints to him being there since the beginning.

- Wily was in prison at the beginning of MM7, and likely unable to build anything. As such, Bass has to at least have existed during 6, if not before.

Plus, it'll be a while before MM7 is adapted, so presuming that something happens to cause Mega Man and crew to lose their memories from the crossover, Ian could have him appear much sooner. In the process, build up his status as a supposed ally to make his evental betrayal more dramatic. Antiyonder (talk) 21:34, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
