> Doctor Robotnik to Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Doctor **Ivo Gerald Robotnik** is a former United States Government scientist with five Ph.D.s and a great intelligence. He was called by the United States Government to investigate a strange blackout in Green Hills, Montana. After he analyzed the surroundings of the Green Hills Baseball Field, he discovered the footprints of an unknown creature and understood that the blackout was not a terrorist attack, but was caused by an alien: Sonic the Hegdehog. The doctor tracked the creature to the Wachowskis Residence and tried to capture him. He took as Sonic's Quill before being knocked down by Tom Wachowski.

On the next days, he chased them on the road to San Francisco and tried to stop them by using his Badniks, but Sonic and Tom managed to escape from him. Robotnik remembered that his subordinate, Agent Stone, still had the quill, so Robotnik used it to power his Egg-Pod. Later, he intercepted Sonic and the Wachowskis on the rooftop of the Transamerica Pyramid along with his Drones and chased Sonic through San Francisco and the world until they reached Green Hills; during the pursuit, Sonic mocked of Robotnik by calling him **Eggman**. There, Robotnik was confronted by Sonic as the hedgehog drained the power of the quill and exiled him to the Mushroom Planet.

## Biography

### Early Life

> "I want you to know that the only person who ever punched me in the face was the school bully. He hit me in the cafeteria, causing a blunt-force contusion to the soft tissue surrounding my orbital bone. Humiliated me in front of the entire school! And you know what I did in response?"
> "Uh, I'm assuming that you reported him to the principal's office ‘cause , you know, that kind of behavior is really unacceptable."
> "No, I examined the inefficiency of a world where brawn trumped brain, and I used technology to resolve that inefficiency. The boy ate his meals through a straw for a year. And I have never lost a fight... until today."
>
> Dr. Robotnik and Tom Wachowski, Sonic the Hedgehog

Growing up as an Orphan, Ivo Gerald Robotnik came to resent family and human society. While attending school, he was harassed by a school bully, who punched him in the face in the cafeteria, giving him a black eye and humiliated him in front of the whole school. However, instead of reporting him to the principal, Robotnik achieved revenge on his bully through technological means, leaving the bully to spend the next year eating through a straw.

Many years later, Doctor Robotnik achieved five Ph.D.s. He was also trained in tracking by the Native American Shadow Wolves. He was employed by the United States Government at one point as well and became known for his revolutionary drone technology. Over the course of his career, he gained a perfect operations record and allegedly helped with several incidents, including a coup in Pakistan and an uprising in Azerbaijanistan, while simultaneously developing a notorious reputation that left his superiors unwilling to involve him in most affairs.

### Chase for Sonic the Hedgehog

#### Blackout in Green Hills

> "What's extraordinary is I've determined the exact height, weight, and spinal curvature of this creature, and my computer can't find a single match for it anywhere in Earth's animal kingdom. This blackout was not a terrorist attack, and that's no baby bigfoot. This guy is something else… entirely."

> Dr. Robotnik to Agent Stone, Sonic the Hedgehog

In 2020, Robotnik was sent by the U.S. Government to investigate an electromagnetic pulse of unknown origin in Green Hills, Montana. When he arrived, he humiliated Major Bennington by underestimating him and stated that he was in charge now. Robotnik sent his Drones to search for clues as he investigated from his Truck. When one of the Drones found a footprint, he explained to Agent Stone that the footprint didn't belong to any terrestrial animal on Earth, but belonged to an alien creature. Robotnik ordered his Drones to go to the place of the footprint, as he stated that this discovering was "one giant leap for him".

#### Invasion of the Wachowski Residence

Later, Robotnik arrived to the Wachowski Residence while following the footprints of the creature. When he saw Tom Wachowski in front of the door, he approached to him and tried to impersonate a worker from the electricity company in order to enter the house. However, Wachowski knew immediately that he was lying and asked Robotnik the real reason he wanted to enter his house. Meanwhile he explained the reasons, Robotnik sent some of his Drones to investigate the house.
