Neo Cortex

Dr. **Neo Periwinkle Cortex** (ネオ・ペリウィンクル・コルテックス, *Neo Periwinkuru Korutekkusu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist from the *Crash Kong* series created by Andy Gavin and Shigeru Miyamoto. He is a professional scientist.

He is Crash Bandicoot's arch-nemesis and creator, and has been seen throughout the series with colleagues such as Dr. Nitrus Brio, Dr. N-Gin, and Uka Uka; animal henchmen such as Tiny Tiger and Dingodile, and his niece Nina Cortex.

He seeks to achieve world domination as an act of vengeance for the ridicule he has suffered in the past. Crash and DK's constant interference on Wumpa Bongo has made eliminating them one of King K. Rool and Cortex's top priorities along with world domination.

"*Get ready to face my wrath, Crash Bandicoot!*"

—Dr. Neo Cortex.

### Appearance

Cortex appears as a short, typically yellow-skinned, large-headed man with a giant N symbol (which stands for "Nerd, or more appropriately- Neo") located on his forehead since the age of 3. He is most often seen wearing a lab coat, with some sort of black clothing underneath, and donning leather gloves and boots.

Cortex is balding, with hair only on the sides of his head and a thick strand on top. Whatever hair he does have is frazzled. He is also shown to have a short beard and bushy eyebrows with the same color along with this.

#### Video Games

His eyelids are prominently red in most of his appearances.

##### Younger

As a child at the Academy of Evil, Cortex's appearance was largely the same, the biggest difference being a full head of hair, trimmed eyebrows and lacking a beard. The N on his forehead is also depicted as lowercase rather than uppercase.

#### TV

His eyelids are prominently black in most of his appearances.
