Dr. Robotnik (Live-Action)

**Dr. Ivo Gerald Robotnik**, also referred to as "**Eggman**", is the main antagonist of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* film series. He serves as the main antagonist of the 2020 action-adventure comedy film *Sonic the Hedgehog* and its 2022 sequel *Sonic the Hedgehog 2*. He also appears as the overarching antagonist of the comic book *Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Movie Pre-Quill*.

He is a brilliant yet unstable and narcissistic roboticist who planned to take Sonic the Hedgehog's powers for himself in order to conquer the world. Henceforth, Robotnik is Sonic's arch-nemesis, just like in every other adaption of the franchise.

He was portrayed by Jim Carrey.

## His Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him Heinous?

* In childhood, when he got punched in the face by a school bully, he got revenge through an unknown incident which made the bully eat his meals through a straw for a year, even though Tom Wachowski points out the correct action would have been was to report the bully to the principal.
* He has a massive ego and a hatred for humanity, believing them to be inferior to his machines.
* Even if he does supposedly care for Agent Stone, he regularly abuses him, all the way up to punching him in the stomach for no reason. He also considered him a dumb "know-nothing", even if admitting he's smarter than most humans. That said, this part of him disappears (kind of) in the sequel, with the only instance being in a deleted scene.
* While he does have a somewhat-sympathetic backstory of being an orphan who was bullied in his childhood, it does not justify his actions and it is never played for sympathy.
* He helped stop a a coup in Pakistan and uprising in Azerbaijanistan, which were both implicitly violent events and, in the latter's case, caused Azerbaijanistan to no longer exist.
* Upon realizing that the cause of the massive power outage is an alien named Sonic, he decided to capture and experiment on him so he could gain his power.
* He threatened to kill Tom Wachowski, an officer of the law, with his drone if he didn't tell him where Sonic is.
* He tried to kill Tom and Sonic to get the latter's powers and as revenge for the former hitting him in the face.
* He falsely labeled Tom as a domestic terrorist to the public after their first encounter.
* He threw an injured guy out of the window when he refused to tell him where Sonic went.
* He planned to take over the world when he realized just how powerful simply one of Sonic's quills is.
* He was perfectly fine with killing Maddie, Tom's innocent wife, just for being on Sonic's side, calling her "collateral damage".
* While he was shocked when Sonic dropped Tom and Maddie off a building, he quickly brushed it off and tried to justify his reaction by claiming he expected not to expect something.
* He chased Sonic all over the world while constantly launching missiles at him, putting many people in danger.
* He almost killed Sonic, and was about to fight all of Green Hills' citizens when they stood up to him.
* He was responsible for all of Agent Stone's actions in the *Pre-Quill* through leaving him a manifesto telling him what to do to continue his legacy while he's gone.
* He burned several predatory mushrooms while stuck on the Mushroom Planet.
* He teamed up with Knuckles the Echidna to kill Sonic, while secretly using him to further his own goals, taking sadistic joy when the two fight.
* He tried to kill Sonic and Tails upon his return to Earth, knocking out and nearly killing the latter.
* After gaining the power of the Master Emerald, he quickly betrayed Knuckles and left him to die, mocking him for his gullibility.
* He absorbed countless metal to make the Death Egg Robot, including a moving train.
* Immediately after creating his Death Egg Robot, he began walking toward an entire military force, intending to kill them.
* He tried to kill Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in his Death Egg Robot.
* He explained to Sonic that now, with the Master Emerald's power, he will enslave all of humanity, force them to serve his robots, and conquer the entire multiverse.
* He almost crushed Sonic, Tom and Maddie with the Death Egg Robot.
* He feigned remorse and begged for mercy when Sonic became Super Sonic, trying to kill him one final time, which led to his possible demise.

### What Makes Him Inconsistent?

* He too comedic to be PE or NPE. Examples include dancing when he is alone, attempting to escape the planet in his first defeat, flossing in the second movie, quoting the Wicked Witch of the West, joking to Knuckles about his betrayal, and even his defeat, when he says "Later, hater!" to Sonic while he's falling down to his supposed doom.
* He seems to genuinely care about Agent Stone, as although he abused him in the first movie, he admits that he missed him when they reunited in the second movie and let him join him when he's building the Death Egg Robot.
