probably an unpopular opinion but i personally think will may have been a lab test subject 🤷
there's some evidence that could be used to back that up (some is just like oh, that may have happened)

3) will's fake body in season 1 raises a lot of questions like how did the lab know EXACTLY what he looked like. down to the birthmark and all? it convinced everyone but joyce
i'm sorry it doesn't feel like they put that much effort into it.. they had 4 years.. the actors put a lot into it- the writing just wasn't it- at all..
4) el knew about will when she saw the photo about him. if she was in the lab her whole life, how would she have known? and the obvious answer would be from a connection to the upside down, she knew exactly where he was- but didn't know about barb or where she was..
omfg. theres a car in the background of this poster all the way back there, zoomed in its on the left side see thats literally lonnies car help guys am i going insane because ???v
6) how was will able to survive for so long in the upside down? everyone else got killed immediately, but i believe it said he was in there for 5-6 days or so? maybe he has some ability that allows him to have hidden/survived for so long
2) there was a scene where in castle byers, will had a stuffed tiger i believe. i know el had a similar one in her room at the lab, so maybe will got his from there as well?
