Before the first MMZ game X sacrificed his body to seal away the Dark Elf, and Copy X was built as his replacement to keep the place running. The general public didn't know it wasn't the original X for quite some time that was ruling them, not until after MMZ4 I think.

With the whole Dr. Wiley's conscious living on, I still don't know what to think on that. Part of me thinks it did somehow, and somehow Wiel's related to him, but part of me doesn't. We don't have enough information in Weil to make an accurate assumption though, we just know he worked on the project to create Cyber Elves and instead used Zero's coding to make weapons, soon using the Dark Elf to try to conquer Earth. Plus I don't think many people even know about Dr. Wily once we hit the MMX games, so I doubt there were many smart enough or had the resources to do the research to point the virus back to him. Especially in the MMZ games were almost every record of history beforehand was destroyed.
