Oh, PLEASE keep him. I think he has great potential, and besides, the Matrices have gone through enough tragedy (and will be going through more) without losing him AGAIN.
Like alot of people have said I don't think killing Welman off is a good idea. I know you guys are just thinking about the present but think of the future of Reboot.
Welman might have some parts to play in the future of Reboot. Prof. Whig maybe Welman's knowledge could help the cast later.
This totally off topic but isn't Welman's build similar to Matrix's physique? Because to me that forshadows that Enzo is going to have a strong build when he is older.
Back on subject maybe it is with Welman's help that Enzo defeats the Gnosis code.
Sure you have a complex character here, but that can actually help to make you story 3D if done right.
aSnowyEvening - Don't worry about it. I wasn't trying to bite your head off, I just wanted to set straight what seemed to be a wrong assumption. (The way this site is arranged, it'd easy to miss out on developments. Look how out-of-date some of the updates on the main page are!)
As for the discussion, if the original poster doesn't mind it, I see no problem.
Slackbot - I'm aware of this, I was just posting my comments on what I thought about Welman. Looking back on my post, I realize my poor choice of words (I should not have used the word 'vote'). I keep forgetting that this is a comments page and not a discussion board, because some posters comment on and add on to other people's comments. If I could edit or even delete that post I could, but it's a comment page and most comment pages don't allow that. Also, thank-you for reminding me of that episode, it seems that I need a refresher of what happened in season 4. I'll re-watch it sometime soon (and allow myself more time to make posts to word things carefully) before I make any more comments to ensure that I don't make any more frivolous mistakes.
My theory always has been that Nulls retain all the code of the original sprite/binome except for the "rendering" code that controls their appearance and their interaction with their environment. Nullification is different from deletion, the latter being simple outright erasure of the sprite/binome.
So what happened to Welman? I think he was nullified *by his own gateway*. The same process that split Gigabyte into Hexadecimal and Megabyte also "split" Welman from his rendering code.
If this code can be located, Welman can be recovered.
I think the key for Welman is to figure out if he'll get turned back into a sprite. If we vote in favour of this (as seems to be the case), then the next thing to determine would be when to do this. I think this gets more into story-line, of which the Professor is the expert. It depends on if they have the tools necessary to change him back. So if that machine is still around (there's the possibility that Megabyte could have destroyed it in The Hunt) and if there are games available for the heroes to do testing in (there are no more games in Mainframe, maybe it would be worth considering getting Matrix's team to get data for Welman, though it may prove to be difficult in a Web-Game).
I have more ideas, but not enough time to post them. I'll be back.
Alright I really like Welman, he's a character that didn't get a whole lot of screen time and didn't get a chance to grow as a character. But personally I can't stand that hes a null I think the main issue is to try and find a way to restore him, the heroes have been trying since season two to try and find a way to bring sprites back. Another you should touch upon is whatever happened to the Matrix's kids mom?
Well in the actual series he should return to his normal self but for the comic, don't go too much into it. Maybe have him have some father/son time with Matrix. I realized they didn't really interact at all in Season 4. They need some ofthat.

I think Welman has a part to play as part of the 'scooby gang'. He's the brilliant scientist, more so than Phong, so adds a lot to the team.
However, we only need a couple of lab scenes to make his presence felt, ready to provide technobabble exposition.
In his other role as the dad I see him as the perfect, loving but measured dad, like Atticus Finch to To Kill A Mockingbird.
He's Gregory Peck.

aSnowyEvening -
We're past the point of voting on story bits. It's Prof. WW's show now, although he can ask for our ideas if he feels the need.
Welman was not nullified by a game, so game data could not recompile him. They mentioned that specifically in one S4 episode.
