Doctor Eggman

Doctor **Ivo Robotnik** (イヴォ・ロボトニック, *Ivo Robotonikku*), better known by the alias "**Dr. Eggman**" (ドクター・エッグマン, *Dokutā Egguman*), is both a fictional character and the main antagonist from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series created by Yuji Naka. He is a evil mad human scientist and the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog. This large scientist with an IQ of 300 whose primary ambition is universal domination. Dreaming of conquer and ruling the entire world, he constantly seeks to create his Eggman Empire, spread it across the globe, and reshape it.

While the doctor's plans initially consisted of building incredible armies by using animals as power sources for his robots and using them to dominate the land, Dr. Eggman's schemes have since branched into much more global threats as he built war machines, used nuclear devices to threaten entire nations, and even relied on mythological and ancient deities bent on destruction to achieve his goals. Eventually, the mad scientist has gone as far as to target the entire universe and cooked up schemes to control time and space itself.

With the aid of his army, robots, and airships, Dr. Eggman has time and time again proven a formidable foe and persistent force, despite his constant losses and various plots for world domination are always thwarted by at the hands of his most hated enemy, Sonic, and his many allies.

While all these plans end in failure thanks to the continued efforts of Sonic and his friends, the mad doctor 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's side. He is aided in his schemes by his sidekick robots, Orbot, Decoe, Cubot, and Bocoe, as well as his messenger Bokkun and his arsenal of ruthless robots and high-tech terrornauts.

"*Citizens of the world, lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully! My name is Dr. Eggman- the world's greatest scientist, and soon to be the world's greatest ruler. Now witness the beginning of the greatest empire of all time!*"

—Dr. Eggman.

### Appearance

Dr. Eggman is depicted as a human with a rotund and burly appearance, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs.

#### Younger

During his early years, Eggman had a completely round torso with normal-looking arms and legs. Back then, he also 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.

#### Present

In the present day, Eggman remains obese, but has become somewhat burlier, taller and less flabby with long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs.

For attire, Eggman wears tinted, navy blue pince-nez glasses and green-lensed goggles as headwear and 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.

## Personality

Dr. Eggman is an evil and megalomaniacal genius who is constantly planning to take over the world and those beyond his. Showing contempt for how "filthy" and "irregular" the world is, he views himself as obligated to perfect it by ridding it of what he deems as imperfections, including free will. Arrogant, raucous and narcissistic, he prefers to show up and claim responsibility whenever he is carrying out his villainous deeds and make himself known to his enemies after he comes back from a defeat; as put by Sonic, subtlety is not Eggman's forte.

Eggman is a very short-tempered and domineering man, which makes him rather intimidating. After regaining his old memories without being able to recall the events leading up to that point, Eggman's first actions were yelling out in anger for an explanation before taking control of everyone around him. He is also rather anti-social, as seen by how limited interest he takes in others until they can prove useful to his plans and by how he treats his aides Orbot, Decoe, Cubot, and Bocoe, as well as his messenger Bokkun as his servants. He also has little tolerance for failure (especially his minions' failures) and stupidity. Having no honor either, Eggman is likewise depicted as having almost zero compassion and regard for others than himself and will use and manipulate his minions and lackeys however he sees fit without a pang of remorse, not even caring about ideals such as loyalty. Noticeably, he tricked Rough and Tumble into turning themselves into Zombots despite the skunk brothers being "perfect minion fodder" for him and that he owned them a deal for helping him back to his senses while he was an amnesiac.

Perhaps Eggman's most noticeable trait, is his refusal to give up. No matter how many defeats he has suffered over the years, he always has another plan ready and refers to his defeats as little more than setbacks. However, he can be overly obsessive about achieving his goals that he either overlooks or fails to take into account some important factors, like when he hastily began implementing his Metal Virus for his next plan despite only having some miniscule data samples on it.

## Abilities and Powers

Eggman is a brilliant scientist and inventor with seemingly limitless mastery over technology. His remarkable skills as an engineer and programmer are best evidenced by the armies of robots, machines and mechs he has created for his numerous schemes. He is also an incredibly skilled pilot: able to manipulate many different kinds of his own mechs, robots and vehicles in difficult battles with Sonic.

### Physical Abilities

Eggman has considerable physical strength as seen in *Sonic Lost World* where he was able to shatter a large wall of ice with his bare hands, and in *Sonic Riders*, Eggman is classified as a Power Type, further implying a high level of strength. As seen in some games' endings he is also quite resistant to damage, being catapulted or falling vast distances only to come out scratched up but mostly unharmed.

Despite his physical structure, Eggman is also very athletic; during their early battles, there is almost always a point where Sonic chases Eggman and despite of his weight and Sonic's speed, he always manages to outrun his nemesis long enough to reach his next escape vehicle or weapon. In one cutscene of *Sonic Lost World*, Eggman flees from the Deadly Six around the same pace as Sonic.
