Ivo Robotnik

## Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik of the House of Kintobor

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, from the *anime* series.

**Anime**:

* Mike Pollock (2005-present)

Dr. **Ivo Robotnik**, also known as "**Dr. Eggman**", is both a fictional character and antagonist from the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Satoshi Tajiri. He is an evil human scientist and misanthropic dictator.

Feared around the globe, having an IQ of 300, and with unlimited resources at his disposal, his ambition is universal domination with his robotic creations, enslave the population and the establishment of his empire everywhere.

Despite the efforts, though, his plans are always thwarted by the continued efforts of Sonic, and many friends. Dr. Eggman

With the aid of his two sidekick robots, messenger, army, airships, and his arsenal of ruthless robots and high-tech terrornauts, he has time and time again proven a formidable foe and persistent force, despite his constant losses.

While Dr. Eggman's plans, plots, and schemes initially consisted of building incredible armies by using animal-fuled robots to dominate the land, they have since evolved into more dangerous global threats; such as building war machines.

Other examples include using nuclear devices to threaten entire nations or relying on deities bent on destruction to achieve his goals. Eventually, he has gone as far as to target and hatched schemes to control time and space itself.

While all of these plans end in failure, the mad scientist is somehow always able to slip away from certain death or imprisonment and escape at the last moment, making him a constant threat to the universe and a thorn in Sonic and Tony's side.

"*Oh hohohohohohahahahaha! Please citizens, lend me your ears and listen very carefully! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist, and I have some exciting news for me, and catastrophic news for you. I have decided to take over the world and soon to make it part of the beginning of the new and greatest empire of all time as the world's greatest ruler. Resistance is futile. You will submit to my rule or be swept away like dust bunnies.*"

—Dr. Eggman, making a global announcement.

### Biography

Self-proclaimed evil genius scientist and megalomaniac. He's always trying to take over the world but there always seems to be an oppressing force and a certain blue hedgehog keeps getting in the way...

### Appearance

#### Main Version

In general, Eggman is depicted as being rotund in appearance. He possesses a dome-shaped head and no visible neck, red-black-yellow clothing, a bald head, a bright red nose, pince-nez sunglasses, and a very large and bushy mahogany moustache.

##### In the Young Days

During his early years, Eggman had a completely round torso with normal-looking arms and legs. Back then as "Mr. Tinker", he wore green overalls, a pink shirt, and pink and green slippers.

During his time as a G.U.N. scientist "Dr. Robotnik", his outfit consisted of a white G.U.N. lab coat with a brown shirt with green pants underneath with black boots.

Becoming "Dr. Eggman", he wore a red shirt/jacket with yellow triangles (which can be described as either a collar or part of a cape, which can be seen on his back), with black pants with connected boots and silver-colored round buckles, white gloves, and mirrored pince-nez glasses.

##### In Present Time

In the present day, Eggman remains obese, though his mustache retains its length, density and mass, and has become somewhat burlier, taller, and less flabby with long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs.

For attire, he now wears both his tinted, navy blue pince-nez glasses and green-lensed goggles as headwear. Gone are the cape and his suit-like clothes, in their place an elegant, red coat sporting two square metal buttons on both sides of the chest in gold. These buttons have white straps that run across the coat's sides to identical buttons on the back. The coat also has silver, zipper-like linings down the back, arms and front, yellow cuffs, and two extensions on the front that have large silver buttons.

In addition, Eggman also wears white, cuff-less gloves on his hands and a pair of black pants with matching boots seemingly attached to them bearing circular plates on the both sides of the ankles and three square ones riding up the shin.

#### Movie Version

Dr. Robotnik is an average-sized human: He originally possessed dark brown (almost black) hair, peach skin, brown eyes, a short mustache and ample stubble across his jawline. His hair was usually combed back, and his mustache was usually thin and dark brown (almost black) with handlebar curls at the ends. For attire, he usually wore a black trench coat with customized tails and red piping, a dark grey tunic, black trousers, black shoes, black gloves and black sunglasses.

When later piloting his Eggpod, he donned a red flight suit with black and brown accents and black goggles with red lenses.

After spending nearly three months alone on the Mushroom Planet, Dr. Robotnik adopted a significantly different appearance: he shaved his head completely bald, he let his mustache become overgrown, unkempt, and more mahogany color, his nose gained a notable pinkish-red sunburn, and the sleeves of his suit had been torn off.

## Personality

### Video Games/Manga

"*I've suffered quite the indignity during my last setback. Now the world will be made to suffer in return!*"

—Knuckles, to himself.

### Anime

"*Sonic, you accursed hedgehog! I'll be back! With a new robot! Who has an accurate name! And super laser eyes! And he'll feed me ham! Evil ham...*"

—Dr. Eggman, to Sonic.
Dr. Eggman is a power-hungry megalomaniac who wants to conquer the world. Despite having a few evil moments in the series, this version of Eggman is considerably more lucid and overall sympathetic than most other continuities. Clearly not having problems with kidnapping and threatening to inflict harm, he does, however, think it is too far to actually hurt people and dislikes to harm humans and animals alike; for example, when the Metarex begin to beat up a captive Chris and Cosmo, Eggman criticized them for their malicious behavior towards the two.

Earlier in the series, when the Eggsterminator was brutally beating Sonic, Eggman could not bear to watch and even ordered the robot to stop and give Sonic a break. He also seems to have a degree of respect and even care for Sonic and his attitude, not only does Eggman comes to Sonic's rescue, but he shows no fear from Sonic's dark transformation, and actually is the one to talk him down from said state, showing genuine disappointment at his nemesis for acting so violently.

In contrast, he seems more flamboyant than most of his other counterparts, as he is frequently seen showing off, although he retains some of his normal version's personality, such as his immaturity. Eggman has a tendency to sometimes make egg-related puns, such as “egg-cellent” or “egg-ceptional”. He also appears to be a fan of baseball, as seen in Unfair Ball, where he makes the main characters play a baseball game against him and his team for a Chaos Emerald.

Eggman is also terrified of rollercoasters.

### Movie

"*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 Sonic.
Dr. Robotnik's genius intellect makes him somewhat of a narcissist, as he immediately declared himself to be superior to Major Bennington and later stated everyone around him is inferior and less evolved. He is so arrogant and condescending that he has told Agent Stone multiple times that "the hardest thing about being the smartest person in the world is that everyone else is stupid". 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 prides himself in being prepared for any situation, and refuses to admit surprise. He also enjoys dancing wildly when he believes he is alone, and loves the lattes prepared by Agent Stone. Additionally, due to his 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).

He also has a large chip on his shoulder about being bullied as a child, and he hates being punched in the face as it reminds him of how he used to be at the mercy of unintelligent brutes like the bully who picked on him. 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. Despite his claims of wanting to improve the Earth, he is happily aware that he is "evil" and thus wishes to achieve improvement the way he envisions it. For example, he put a label on his light switch that says "evil lab". He also has no qualms about the level of destruction he causes, like the damage to San Francisco and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

Robotnik suffers from a severe inferiority complex, which stems from childhood neglect. As a result, he sees himself as an insignificant speck, and yearns for acknowledgment and recognition. He often brings up personal accomplishments in order to make himself feel superior, doing this with both Bennington and Tom. He even claims to have been a genius since he was a toddler.

An egomaniacal sociopathic misanthrope, Robotnik often voices his distaste for humanity, only displaying affection towards his Badniks, gently stroking and praising them. A staunch perfectionist, Robotnik views humans as inefficient beings of hubris and desire, and robots as practical and functional. Human beings bore the doctor to the state that he considers their lives sad and meaningless and therefore he has no desire for having friends. He is completely devoid of empathy, unable to understand why Tom Wachowski would risk everything to help Sonic, and proudly states that he has no friends. Robotnik hates everybody, and barely tolerates Agent Stone, often subjecting him to physical and emotional abuse; however, he does compliment Stone on his lattes, albeit very aggressively. Interestingly enough, despite him openly stating that he will not miss Agent Stone, he creates a stand-in of his lackey to keep him company on the Mushroom Planet. He may not actually like people, but he at least needs someone to abuse. Despite this, he did praise Agent Stone on his cappuccino-making skills, albeit aggressively, so he may possess a tiny degree of compassion.

Robotnik is also incredibly sadistic, seizing any opportunity to inflict pain upon other people, and relishing every second. He also shows his sadism by happily talking about how he wants to experiment on Sonic and "see what makes him tick", and smiling as he threatens to kill Tom while interrogating him.

By the climax of the film, Robotnik's sanity has degraded to the point where he is completely obsessed with obtaining Sonic's power by any means necessary. He is even willing to place himself into a life-threatening situation, failing to realize the danger until it is too late. After spending almost three months alone on the Mushroom Planet, his grip on sanity has degraded even further (despite his claims to the contrary), as he talks to a stone that he named after Agent Stone, and a few mushrooms, as if they were real people.
