Albert Wesker is a character from the Resident Evil franchise, fulfilling either a supporting or main antagonistic role. First appearing in the original Resident Evil, his job as captain of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit was secretly an undercover operation for the pharmaceutical conglomerate, Umbrella Corporation. An arrogant yet intelligent character, Wesker is not above betraying his "allies" if it allows him to further his own plans.
After several games as a supporting antagonist, Wesker becomes the main antagonist in Resident Evil 5, where he worked with Tricell, alongside geneticist Excella Gionne, to develop the Uroboros Project: a project involving causing a mass-extinction of humanity through the worldwide release of the Uroboros virus, while a small portion of humans with specific genes remain alive and transform into superhuman-like beings. Despite infecting himself with Uroboros during the game's climax, Wesker ultimately perishes and fails to defeat his arch-enemy, Chris Redfield, and his partner Sheva Alomar. Even after his death, Wesker's influence continues to be felt on the world throughout future instalments, as other individuals and corporations utilize his research on biological weapons (B.O.W.s) for their own plans.
In M.U.G.E.N, Albert Wesker has been made by several creators. Many recent versions, such as Kenshiro99's version and TheFclass97's version, use a custom spriteset by Blade based on his Marvel vs. Capcom 3 appearance.
Kenshiro99's version[]
Using Blade's version as a base, this version of Wesker features reworked gameplay that is heavily based on Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, such as the inclusion of hitsparks and sound effects taken directly from said game, as well as his hypers featuring the classic MvC animated backgrounds.
