Dr. Eggman || STH

Doctor Ivo, better known by the alias Doctor Eggman, is the main antagonist to Sonic the Hedgehog. A brilliant scientist with an IQ of 300, Dr. Eggman is driven by a desire to conquer the world and establish his own empire, the Eggman Empire. Central to his vision is Eggmanland, an amusement park he seeks to build as the backbone of his regime. His ambitions are fueled by his love of machines and extreme egomania. Dr. Eggman continually devises plots to achieve world domination, which range from using Animals to power his robots—known as Badniks—to constructing massive war machines, harnessing ancient powers, and manipulating spacetime itself. Despite his genius, his plans are always foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends. Nevertheless, Dr. Eggman remains undeterred, always managing to escape capture and continuing his quest for conquest. His narcissism and immature behavior often lead to his downfall, but his unrelenting pursuit of power makes him one of the most dangerous threats in the universe.

Dr. Eggman is a tall obese human with a small, bald head. He has a distinct pinkish nose and a bushy, mahogany mustache. His eyes, which are very rarely seen, are colored blue. Eggman's height is 185 centimeters (6 ft 1 in) and his weight 128 kilograms (282 lb). Dr. Eggman is depicted as somewhat tall and burly. His arms and legs are long and almost disproportionately thin, while his mustache is somewhat unkempt. For attire, he retains his signature glasses and gloves but incorporates the "Egg Goggles" which sit on his forehead, although he very rarely uses them. He now dons a red coat adorned with four ingot-like golden buttons on each side of the chest, each accompanied by white straps running to additional identical buttons on the back. The coat features silver linings down the back, arms, and front, yellow cuffs, and two extensions on the front with large silver buttons. Additionally, Dr. Eggman wears black pants with matching boots, which have circular plates on both sides of the ankles and three square ones extending up the shin.

Described as the world's vilest person and worst screw-up, Dr. Eggman is an immoral mad scientist who only thinks about doing bad things. He always aspires to conquer the world to create what he deems a utopia, dubbed "Eggmanland". This gives him ridiculous delusions of grandeur and the psychotic belief that the world's problems will be solved if he rules it despite being far from the case. Dr. Eggman constantly uses his scientific genius and robotic expertise to create weapons and gadgets in his bid to build Eggmanland. Dr. Eggman is extremely narcissistic and egotistical, noted for being very selfish, sometimes rude, and greedy. His main motivation is gaining constant attention, and views himself as the best scientist in the world. He has a tendency to plaster his persona all over his creations and bases to fuel his ego, but occasionally bases his work around other themes. Because he places so much value on aesthetics, especially his own, his design philosophy often focuses on design and gimmicks over functionality. Overflowing with self-confidence and pride, he works hard on his speeches and hates it when others interrupt them. Immensely self-serving, Dr. Eggman only thinks about what he wants and has little regard for the consequences of his actions and inconvinience it would bring to world's citizens. When revealing himself, he ignores his own allies, even those who are technically time-displaced versions of himself, and gives all the credit to himself instead. He is very opportunistic and is only interested in things that benefit him, rarely seeking collaborations with others unless they can aid him in some way. He merely sees others, his own minions included, as pawns to be used and discarded when they have outlasted their purpose, imposing harsh punishments on those that disobey or disappoint him and using them as vessels of both psychological and physical abuse. He even remodeled Zeta, one of his E-100 Series robots, as a pillar onboard the Egg Carrier and labeled its history as "Disappointment", all for failing him once. Conversely, he is quick to praise those that impress him and claim they met his expectations, even after initially doubting their capacities. Dr. Eggman has a passion for robotics, being a mechanophile who believes machines are beautiful and takes pride in controlling them. He considers his Badniks his greatest inventions and envisions a world completely mechanized to his liking. He is infamous for his disregard for nature, maintaining that living in a heavily industrialized and polluted place is preferable to being in one with clean air. He has no qualms about kidnapping Animals to use them as living energy sources for his robots. Dr. Eggman's selfish nature is complemented by a very childish behavior and short temper, seen as a source of his desire for world conquest and making him believe that domination is an easy task. He is very short-tempered and can be angered very easily, prone to throwing tantrums and fits of rage when things do not go his way. Dr. Eggman can be cocky and resorts to mean-spirited mockery when he feels he has the upper hand. He often disrespects others by addressing them with a characteristic of theirs rather than their name. On a similar note, he was also shown to possess a rather bleak and cruel sense of humor and some self-awareness, casually narrating the dangers his bases pose through PA announcements and even jovially describing his robotomy treatment, which strips patients of basic functions, as the "good life". He also does not believe in fair play, and prefers to win games by cheating, to the point that he proudly admits it out loud. He will proudly celebrate his "victories", even if they stem from foul play. Dr. Eggman can be very serious and threatening despite his immaturity, employing death threats to intimidate opponents while remaining composed. He is very manipulative and cunning, exploiting others with lies and false surrenders. He has successfully deceived simple-minded individuals like Knuckles and even lured clever individuals like Sonic himself into his traps. Furthermore, he can show surprising foresight, like when he discovered Sonic and his friends' plan to give him a fake Chaos Emerald, allowing him to set a trap. He can outsmart enemies when learning from his mistakes, as seen during the Eggman War, where he built a backup generator for the Phantom Ruby and left disinformation about that gem to mislead the Resistance. One of Dr. Eggman's strongest points is his absolute refusal to give up and determination to succeed, even in seemingly hopeless scenarios, and merely views defeats as setbacks rather than discouragements. Despite his dedication, he can also be brash, careless, and somewhat impatient; his obsession makes him overlook major details and commit blunders that cost him victory. This leads to him celebrating prematurely and complaining about bad luck when plans fail, instead preferring to do things his own way, ignoring constructive feedback and evading responsibility for his mistakes, which has earned him a reputation for screwing up at his plans. Dr. Eggman has no problem committing senseless destruction for his plans, even contemplating genocide and taking pleasure in murdering his enemies. He is willing to destroy virtually anything that gets in his way if he can gain something from doing so. He was content with conquering what was left of the world after the Deadly Six's actions on the Lost Hex, and was impressed by Infinite's innate desire to cause chaos and recruited him for this reason. Dr. Eggman is very vindictive, making last-minute attacks just to avenge previous defeats. He has even attempted self-destructive attacks, notably trying to personally detonate a missile launched deep into the heart of Station Square after his initial plans were foiled. Owing to his delusions of grandiosity, Dr. Eggman refuses to let others cause destruction outside his direction. This was shown when Chaos betrayed him and flooded Station Square; Dr. Eggman had planned this but refused to let Chaos continue aimlessly. He is intolerant of senseless destruction by third parties, especially if it interferes with his plans, as seen when the Black Arms invaded the world. His goal is to rule the world, not destroy it, as world conquest would be rendered impossible with no world to conquer.

Despite his desire for world domination, selfishness, etc. Dr. Eggman does have a human side. He does not appreciate senseless destruction and torment from others beyond his control, as seen he was disgusted by his grandfather's willingness to sacrifice his people for research. When he cooperated with Eggman Nega, he was freaked out by Eggman Nega's more ruthless methods to deny his enemies victory. At the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, Dr. Eggman had an honest conversation with Tails about his admiration for his grandfather, questioning his actions and wondering if he intended to destroy him. Dr. Eggman's changes of heart make him hard to figure out, once admitting to being "a complicated guy".

Not much is known about Dr. Eggman's early life, but his family was prominent in science, with many members becoming distinguished intellectuals. His paternal grandfather was Gerald Robotnik, regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time, who designed the Space Colony ARK and directed Project Shadow. One of his cousins was Maria, who lived on the ARK due to chronic illness and was killed there prior to its closure 50 years ago. Born Ivo Robotnik, Dr. Eggman deeply admired Gerald and wished to replicate his achievements. His narcissism emerged early on, as he could not understand why his family gave more attention to Maria after her death than to him. This lack of attention he sought drove him to despise most of his family, with the exception of Maria and Professor Gerald. He once considered becoming a teacher solely to boss people around. Dr. Robotnik's God complex eventually led him to seek a planetary empire with himself as its leader. His plans to achieve world conquest, however, would be continually foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog, who nicknamed him "Eggman" due to his egg-shaped body; Dr. Robotnik himself later adopted the name as a sign of empowerment.
