**Doctor Ivo Robotnik**, also known as **Doctor Eggman**, is the main antagonist of the *Sonic: Blue Streak* comic series. He is an evil human scientist and dictator, whose primary ambition is to conquer the world and reshape it into the Eggman Empire. With the aid of his Egg Army and Badnik Horde, Dr. Robotnik has time and time again proven a formidable foe and persistent force, despite his constant losses at the hands of his most hated enemy, Sonic the Hedgehog, and his many allies.

## Background

Ivo Robotnik was born in the human city Station Square to two average parents. Growing up, he displayed an intelligence that far outclassed his peers, which ingrained a sense of superiority within him at an early age. The only other person he held any respect for was his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, a man of vast scientific brilliance whom Ivo aspired to one day surpass.

Isolated due to his genius intellect, Ivo had little acquaintances, let alone friends. The only person to express any sort of kindness towards him was his cousin, Maria Robotnik, whom Ivo thought little of beyond the jealousy he felt towards her for the affection she received from their grandfather. After Gerald suffered a mental breakdown in the wake of Maria's mysterious death, Ivo came to the conclusion that the human condition was inherently flawed by design, and he began formulating how it could be "improved" through mechanical precision.

After becoming the youngest human to gain his doctorate, Ivo was discreetly approached by the Overlander Council, a secret society within the human government which sought to preserve and promote human life, no matter the cost. Amongst those on the council were Dr. Brandon Quark, Professor Grimer Wormtongue, and G.U.N Sergent Abraham Towers. Seeing his opportunity to pursue "human improvement", Ivo accepted the council's invitation, quickly becoming a senior member within its ranks.

Unbeknownst to his fellow councilors, Ivo began experimenting on human subjects in an effort to "improve" what he saw as human flaws - soft tissue, bones, biological decay, and free will, which was most egregious, were what he deemed to be "lesser" aspects of life, and ought to be replaced with steel and oil, which could be replaced as needed.

After his the Council learned of Ivo's activities, he was thrown out of Station Square, and a bounty placed on his head. Desperate to continue his research and find refuge, he ventured to the Kingdom of Acorn in order to offer his services to the royal family. Despite the lingering tension between Mobians and humans, Ivo was welcomed into the kingdom as a leading scientist, and would come to work alongside professor Charles the Hedgehog and Dr. Ellidy.

After securing his place amongst the Kingdom's government, Robotnik began hatching a plot for would domination, with the goal of "fixing" Mobius as he saw fit. His first step was engineering the outbreak of the Great War after shooting down the shuttle carrying the infant Elias Acorn and queen Alicia Acorn, managing to pin the blame on G.U.N thanks to his mole, Agent Stone.

His plans for conquest in motion, Ivo turned his attention to the war effort, designing sophisticated weapons for the Kingdom. At the same time he would discreetly re-establish contact with Station Square through his nephew, Snively, and work to play both sides of the conflict for his own benefit.

In the midst of the war, Charles' younger brother Jules the Hedgehog was injured on the battlefield, and was on the verge of death. In a last ditch effort to save his brother, Charles placed Jules in his latest invention - the robotocizer.

Miraculously, Jules survived the procedure, but was left a mindless robot. Robotnik again recognized his good fortunes, and quickly appropriated the robotocizer after successfully removing Charles from the situation.

Amongst his public wartime contributions was the Badniks, robotic replicants which looked like harmless animals to the untrained eye, yet concealed powerful weapons which they would use to ambush human troops. It was with the deployment of the Badniks that Robotnik managed to turn the war in the Kingdom's favor, earning him the admiration of both the citizens and King Nigel himself.

Now with zero oversight as the "savior of Mobotropolis", Robotnik contiuned on with his plans, slowly building his forces until the day came that he would take Mobotropolis, and soon after the rest of Mobius, establishing the Eggman Empire.

## Personality

Tenacious, ruthless, and a tad sadistic, Doctor Robotnik is a force to be reckoned with. He expects great things from those under his command, and does not easily suffer fools. However, he is known to show leniency when an underling displays an aptitude within a field he's unskilled in, though such cases are few and far between.

Eggman is driven by his personal philosophy of ceaseless innovation - in his eyes, *everything* can be improved, and thus *should* be improved. It's for this reason he gravitates towards machines over living creatures; he finds humans and Mobians alike to be inherently flawed on the basis of their biological makeup and the fickle nature of the mind. To this end, he has dedicated himself to "upgrading" the world by replacing all living things with machines.

Such opinions also apply to himself - Eggman will readily replace his organic body parts with cybernetics, so long as he's certain he will not lose any of the benefits provided; for example, he still retains his right arm because he's been unable to synthesize the sensation of touch to a 1:1 cybernetic counterpart.

Because of his genius intellect, Eggman possesses a massive ego, which has also manifested a showman's personality. He has designed the Egg Pawns, a sub-section of the Badnik Horde, in his likeness for no other reason than to have more examples of his cult of personality within his army. Eggman especially enjoys demonstrating the power he has over Mobius to his enemies, but such grandeur has often served as his downfall.

Regardless, Eggman remains a dangerous foe, and is quite likely the greatest threat to have ever appeared on Mobius.
