Ivo Robotnik

Dr. **Ivo Robotnik** (アイヴォ・ロボトニック, *Aivo Robotonikku*), later known as **Dr. Eggman** (ドクター・エッグマン, *Dokutā Egguman*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Satoshi Tajiri.

He is an evil, eccentric scientist that is scheming plots to capture, drain, and neutralize supernatural powers to have the power for full-world domination. He is the arch nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the government is currently allied with him.

"*Whatever this creature is, it's our job to secure it, where I'm going to uncover the source of its power. And if it resists... we neutralize it, take it apart, piece by piece, see what makes it tick.*"

—Dr. Robotnik.

### Appearance

Dr. Robotnik is an average sized man with dark brown (almost black) hair, peach skin, brown eyes, a mustache and ample stubble across his jawline. His hair is usually combed back, and his mustache was usually thin and dark brown (almost black) with handlebar curls at the ends. For attire, he was usually seen wearing a black trench coat, black trousers, black shoes, black gloves and black sunglasses.

In addition, he later dons a red flight suit and black goggles with red lenses. At an unspecified point in time, however, he has a much significantly different appearance: he is completely bald, his mustache is overgrown and unkempt, and a more golden-brown color, and his suit is tattered and torn in various places.

## Personality

"*Allow me to clarify: in a sequentially-ranked hierarchy based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify.*"

—Dr. Robotnik, describing his superiority to Bennington.
Dr. Robotnik's high intellect makes him somewhat of a narcissist, as he immediately declared himself to be superior to Bennington. He is also somewhat eccentric, as while talking to said military officer, he briefly moves stiffly and makes robotic noises as he does so. He also enjoys dancing wildly when he believes he is alone, and loves the lattes prepared by his lapdog, Agent Stone. Additionally, due to his high intellect, he is capable of using large and complicated words to describe a simple situation. Robotnik is not one who tolerates failure, and is very quick to lose his temper when it occurs (yelling quite frequently as he does so).

Described as "pure, unbridled evil", Robotnik is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals, as evidenced by the numerous lethal drones that he sends after both Sonic and Tom Wachowski.

## Powers and Abilities

Dr. Robotnik has a high genius intellect, with boasting 5 PhDs and an IQ of 300. This enables him to create various types of machinery and robots that obey his command, which he can then remotely control using buttons on his gloves, or tablets in his mobile fortress.

He was able to accurately determine Sonic's exact height, weight and entire skeletal structure based on nothing but a footprint of his (even though said print was found on a rock, and he was wearing shoes at the time). Growing up he was a child prodigy, apparently being able to articulate formulas at breastfeeding age. He is also multilingual, as when examining Sonic's quill glowing with energy, he mutters "**interesting**" (面白い, *omoshiroi*).

Ivo Robotnik is also capable of hand-to-hand combat, and has above-average physical strength, as he managed to hold his own against Tom Wachowski, and throw a large bar patron through a window.

### Feats

#### Skill

* Genius intellect
* Hand-to-hand combat skills

### Weaknesses

Despite being well-versed in hand-to-hand combat, Ivo is shown to have low durability, as a single punch to his jaw by Tom was enough to render him out cold him long enough for Tom to escape with Sonic.

ivo has a massive ego, but it is also very fragile. As the film progresses, he becomes more unhinged with every defeat, until he is driven completely insane from his plans being foiled.

### Equipment

Dr. Robotnik's primary equipment is a large assortment of drones that he has created. His primary mode of transportation on Earth is a self-driving semi-truck that can also house most of his drones, lab equipment, and the Eggpod. At one point he wears a uniquely-designed controller on a glove on his left hand; with a few button presses, he is able to program his drones to search for his target within a ten-mile radius, or secretly dispatch reconnaissance drones into Wachowski's house. This controller also has standard internet functions. A variation of the device is incorporated into the doctor's flight suit. Ivo later uses it to record his time on the Mushroom planet.

Additionally, despite his usage of highly-advanced technology, Ivo is not above using more "primitive" forms of technology should the situation demand it. This is seen when he prepares to examine the energy output of Sonic's quill: upon connecting it to a pair of jumper cables, it immediately shorts out the power of his lab, forcing him to rely on the flame of a simple zippo lighter to find the fusebox and restore the power.

## History

### Past

"*Allow me to clarify: in a sequentially-ranked hierarchy based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify.*"

—Dr. Robotnik, responding to Tom's upbringing.
Ivo grew up as an orphan, causing him to resent family. In school, he was punched in the face by the resident bully, giving him a black eye and humiliating him. Instead of reporting him to the principal, Ivo achieved revenge through technological means, causing the bully to spend the next year eating through a straw.

He was eventually employed by the US government and became known for his vast use of robotics. At some point in time, he allegedly helped stop several coups in the Middle East.

## Notes & Trivia

* Instead of his appearance, Ivo's nickname of "Eggman" is a result of his Badniks that resemble eggs.
* Ivo seems to have a fondness for classical music, as he whistles "Ride of the Valkyries" when summoning a Badnik in the Wachowski residence.
* In one scene, Ivo can be seen playing "Where Evil Grows" by The Poppy Family on his personal music playlist called "Tunes of Anarchy". Other songs and playlists seen have also include, "Robotnik Rhythms", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Soulful Chamber Music of Oppression", "Nuclear Tempos of Rhapsody", "Dinner For One", "Acoustical Tempo for Tyranny", "Heavy Metal Bombing Over Babylon", "Obscure 1970's Canadian Jams", and "Crush 40".
	+ The final group is well known for producing several music tracks for the *Sonic Pokémon* series.
* Ivo's final scene in the first film is a possible reference to *Cast Away*, wherein the main character (portrayed by Tom Hanks) creates a companion out of a volleyball to provide him with company on a deserted island.
