### 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.
