Eggman is after a powerful gem called the [[Paradox Prism]]. He intends to use it to create a world in his image. However, Sonic and friends won't let that happen. After a mistake by the hedgehog, Eggman is caught up in the Prism's incident, which displaces him across different dimensions from the [[Shatterverse]]. His alternate counterparts in [[New Yoke City]] are the [[Chaos Council]], which consists of [[Mister Doctor Eggman|Mr. Dr. Eggman]], [[Doctor Babble|Dr. Babble]], [[Doctor Deep|Dr. Deep]], [[Doctor Don't|Dr. Don't]] and [[Doctor Done-It|Dr. Done-It]].

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film series produced by [[Paramount Pictures]], Dr. Ivo Robotnik is a brilliant [[human]] scientist, portrayed by [[Jim Carrey]]. Growing up as an orphan and bullied in his childhood, he came to resent the idea of family and humanity in general as a result. After beginning his career, he would work closely with the [[United States (Paramount)|United States]] government, known infamously for his knowledge with robotics and insane behaviors. 

Eventually, Dr. Ivo Robotnik was tasked with investigating the cause of a power outage in [[Green Hills]]. He soon met the cause, a young blue alien named [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Paramount)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] who could move at superhuman speeds. From there, he sought out to capture this creature in order to harness [[Chaos energy (Paramount)|his unlimited power]] for his [[Badnik (Paramount)|own]] [[Eggpod (Paramount)|means]]. However, in the end, he was defeated by the hedgehog and banished to the [[Mushroom Planet]].

Months later, Dr. Ivo Robotnik managed to return to [[Earth (Paramount)|Earth]] with the help of [[Knuckles the Echidna (Paramount)|Knuckles the Echidna]], an alien [[Echidna (Paramount)|echidna]] who was in search of Sonic and the [[Master Emerald (Paramount)|Master Emerald]]. The doctor aided the echidna in his search for the gemstone, only to [[Emerald Eggman|claim it]] for himself and later terrorize Green Hills. However, he was defeated through the combined efforts of Sonic, [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Paramount)|Tails]] and Knuckles.

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic series and its spin-offs published by [[IDW Publishing]], Dr. Eggman is an evil megalomaniacal scientist, whose history is almost identical to his game counterpart's, up until after the events of ''[[Sonic Forces]]''. After the [[War to Take Back the Planet|Eggman War]], the doctor went missing, and his [[Badnik|Badnik Horde]] was left without a leader. Eggman himself ended up in [[Windmill Village]], where he lost his memory and took up a job as a local inventor known as "Mr. Tinker", eagerly helping residents and the community. He was eventually found by the [[Team Chaotix|Chaotix]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]], who decided to leave him be, considering him harmless and benevolent now. Soon after, however, the scientist was kidnapped by [[Rough the Skunk|Rough]] and [[Tumble the Skunk|Tumble]] on the orders of [[Doctor Starline|Dr. Starline]], a long-time admirer of his work. Brought to the [[Final Egg]], Eggman had his memory restored by [[Metal Sonic]]. He then began working on the [[Metal Virus]], which he began spreading around the world with his [[Faceship]]. At one point, however, Starline let the [[Deadly Six]] aboard his ship, who took control of Eggman's [[Zombot]]s, forcing the doctor to flee and cooperate with his enemies to stop the Zeti's plan to destroy the world with the Zombots. The villain also got rid of Starline. After the Zombot apocalypse ended, Eggman tried to take advantage of Sonic's absence to dispose of his enemies, but the hedgehog soon returned in time to foil his plan. A little while later, the scientist began working on new Badnik types, called [[Quasi-Badnik]]s. He was also revealed to be the creator of a benevolent robot called [[Belle the Tinkerer|Belle]] while he had amnesia.
