Hahaha! Citizens of Earth, lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully! My name is Doctor Eggman, the world's greatest scientist, and soon to be the world's greatest ruler. Now witness the beginning of the greatest empire of all time! Hahahaha!


— Dr. Eggman, Sonic Adventure 2

Doctor Ivo Robotnik[14][15] (ドクター・イヴォ・ロボトニック[16] Dokutā Ivo Robotonikku?), better known by the alias Doctor Eggman[17] (ドクター・エッグマン[18] Dokutā Egguman?), is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. A brilliant scientist with an IQ of 300, Eggman is driven by a desire to conquer the world and establish his own empire, the Eggman Empire. Central to his vision is Eggmanland, a city he seeks to build as the backbone of his regime. His ambitions are fueled by his love of machines and extreme egomania.

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, 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.

Concept and creation[edit | edit source]

Initial concept artwork for the character that would evolve into Dr. Eggman.

In April 1990, Sega sought a new mascot to rival Nintendo's Mario.[19] Several character designs were submitted by its AM8 research and development department, which later evolved into Sonic Team. Among these was a sketch of a mustachioed man in pajamas, drawn by Naoto Ohshima.[1] This concept was set aside in favor of Sonic the Hedgehog, also designed by Ohshima.[20]

Seeing potential in the design, Sonic Team eventually revisited the concept, retooling him into the main antagonist instead.[21] Ohshima aimed for a design that was easy for children to draw, hence the rotund shape. In developing the character, the team made him Sonic's opposite, representing technology to play on the environmentalist culture of the 1990s.[1] When in development the character was named "Eggman" is a mystery, as he spent some time designed like a bee.

Naming and Western interpretations[edit | edit source]

When Sonic the Hedgehog first released, Sega of America named the character "Dr. Ivo Robotnik". This name was made by Sega game counselor and designer Dean Sitton: "Ivo" was picked because of its phonetic similarity with the word evil and its reversal to ovi, Latin for eggs, while "Robotnik" was chosen for its Slavic roots related to work, fitting with the game's industrial themes. Other names considered were "Mr. Badwrench" and "Dr. X".[22] This name change was done without Sonic Team's consent.[23]

At Sega of Japan's permission, Sega of America developed their canon in their Sonic Bible document, a reference document used by screenwriters, they established that Robotnik was originally a kind scientist named "Dr. Ovi Kintobor", who turned into his current self following a lab accident. The character was depicted with inconsistent designs in the West, often with variations from the Japanese design, such as omitting his glasses and gloves, and exposing completely black eyes. In some occasions, his designs from the DiC Entertainment cartoons were used instead, such as in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. These differences were slowly abandoned over time, and the Japanese canon became the standard.

All the while, the Japanese material referred to the character as "Eggman", as the Western material called him "Robotnik".[24] When the Sonic series was transitioning into 3D, Sonic Adventure became the first time both names were officially used, with subsequent releases primarily referring to him as "Eggman". Since, it was established that "Ivo Robotnik" was his birth name and "Eggman" a nickname coined by Sonic the Hedgehog that the doctor adopted.[23][25] The name "Robotnik" is occasionally acknowledged for the character's family, but is used very rarely to refer to the character "Eggman" himself in Japan. While he is oftentimes called "Eggman" in Japanese sources, the use of "Robotnik" has only been on rare occasions like guides of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Jam in said region.[citation needed]

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Eggman is an obese, tall human with a small, bald head. He has a distinct pinkish nose and a bushy, mahogany-colored[6] mustache. His eyes, which are very rarely seen, are colored blue.[6][26][note 1]

Eggman's Classic design features a totally spherical torso with thin but proportionate arms and legs. He wears a red top with a short yellow cape, attached to his shoulders by a triangular collar, black pants with attached boots and a pair of large silver buttons on the front. This outfit is complemented by white gloves and blue (sometimes black or silver) pince-nez glasses that completely hide his eyes. His mustache is neatly groomed, with only three tufts sticking out at each end. Unlike in the modern age, he was shorter in than he is now.

In his Modern redesign, Eggman has become somewhat taller and burlier, with a torso now roughly shaped like an egg, hence his nickname.[4][27] His arms and legs have become long and almost disproportionately thin, while his mustache has become more unkempt. For attire, he retains his signature glasses and gloves but incorporates gray octagonal goggles known as the "Egg Goggles" with green lenses, which sit on his forehead, although he very rarely uses them, but was seen using them once in Sonic Adventure 2. He now dons a red coat adorned with four 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, 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.

History[edit | edit source]

Note: This is an abbreviated look at Dr. Eggman's history, focusing primarily on his three most recent mainline adventures. For a complete history of Eggman, see Doctor Eggman/History and appearances. For his history in the IDW comics and Sonic Prime, see Doctor Eggman/History and appearances (IDW) and Doctor Eggman/History and appearances (Sonic Prime).

Family and early life[edit | edit source]

Eggman's family was prominent in science, with many members becoming distinguished intellectuals.[28][14] 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.[29] One of his cousins was Maria, who lived on the ARK due to chronic illness and was killed there prior to its closure fifty years ago.[30]

Born Ivo Robotnik, Eggman deeply admired Gerald and wished to replicate his achievements.[31] His narcissism emerged early on, as he could not understand why his family gave more attention to Maria after her death than to him.[32] He once considered becoming a teacher solely to boss people around.[10]

Robotnik's God complex eventually led him to seek a planetary empire with himself as its leader.[15][33][34] His plans to achieve world conquest, however, would be continually foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog,[35][13] who nicknamed him "Eggman" due to his egg-shaped body; Robotnik himself later adopted the name as a sign of empowerment.[14]

Present[edit | edit source]

Sonic... that annoying, cocky hedgehog. Thanks to him, my great plans are always ruined. Oh, but this time, I'm going to crush him with the power of my science! Ha ha ha...


— Eggman in the Japanese manual of the original Sonic the Hedgehog[35]

At the start of the "Death Egg saga", Eggman invaded South Island, kidnapping its Animals to use as fuel sources for his new robot army, the Badniks. His goal was to find the six Chaos Emeralds said to rest there to build weapons of mass destruction. However, Sonic secured the Emeralds first and expelled the doctor from the island.[36][35] Eggman later chained Little Planet during its annual appearance over Never Lake, coveting its Time Stones to control time. He was also served by Metal Sonic, a robotic doppelgänger of Sonic. Despite his efforts, his plans were foiled by Sonic once again.[37][38][15] He eventually travelled to West Side Island to find the seven Chaos Emeralds, this time to power his space station, the Death Egg. Although Sonic and his new friend, Tails, got the gems first, Eggman launched the Death Egg anyway.[39][40] His success was short-lived however, as Sonic boarded it and damaged it,[39] causing it to plummet to Angel Island, kept in the sky by the Master Emerald. He falsely told its guardian, Knuckles the Echidna, that Sonic and Tails were hunting for the Chaos Emeralds, buying him time to repair the Death Egg.[41][42] Once the spaceship was complete, Eggman betrayed Knuckles and stole the Master Emerald to fuel it. However, Sonic and Tails boarded the Death Egg, destroying it for good and reclaiming the Master Emerald.[43]

Eggman would go on to hatch more schemes to take over the world, like building a Death Egg mk.II around Little Planet[44] and discovering a gem known as the Phantom Ruby.[45] In one incident, he even met an older version of himself to defeat Sonic.[46] Each time, however, Eggman would fail.

Eggman eventually unleashed a deity of destruction known as Chaos. His plan was to feed him the seven Chaos Emeralds and use him to destroy Station Square to build Eggmanland on its ruins. Central to his scheme were also the Egg Carrier airship and the E-100 Series Badnik robots.[47] Although he came close to achieving his goal, giving Chaos six of the Emeralds, Sonic and his friends ultimately destroyed the Egg Carrier and seemingly killed Chaos. Devastated, Eggman attempted a suicide attack on Station Square that was foiled by Tails. Not long after, he rediscovered Chaos but was knocked out by it as it took the final Emerald, rampaging on Station Square on his own. The doctor tried to stop him with the Egg Carrier 2, but was effortlessly defeated. He survived, only turning up again just in time to witness Sonic's victory against Chaos before withdrawing.[48]

Eggman later discovered his grandfather's diary, which detailed a top-secret project called "Project Shadow". Intrigued by this lost research, he infiltrated the military facility on Prison Island and released Shadow the Hedgehog, the "Ultimate Life Form" created by Gerald. Together with Shadow and Rouge the Bat, Eggman sought to gather the Chaos Emeralds to power the Eclipse Cannon, a weapon aboard the Space Colony ARK capable of destroying planets. His ultimate goal was to use the ARK to blackmail the world into submission. Despite initial successes, including activating the Eclipse Cannon, Sonic and his friends thwarted Eggman's plans. He was forced to team up with his adversaries after activating a doomsday program that would cause the ARK to crash-land into Earth, culminating in Shadow's apparent sacrifice.[49]

Following this incident, Eggman discovered that Shadow was still alive and placed him in stasis, mass-producing Shadow Androids with his data;[50] Shadow would eventually be freed by Rouge. At the same time, Metal Sonic, as Neo Metal Sonic, went rogue and took over the Eggman Empire. Trapped in the Egg Fleet, the doctor contacted Team Chaotix, who eventually rescued him. He then joined Sonic and his friends in defeating Neo Metal Sonic.[51] Soon after, Eggman attempted to control Emerl, an ancient weapon, but Sonic destroyed the robot after it ran amok.[52] Eggman then engaged with the alien Black Arms,[53] and later tried to exploit the power of the sun god Solaris, an event undone after Sonic time traveled to erase Solaris from existence.[54] In another incident, Eggman shattered Earth with the Chaos Energy Cannon, unleashing Light and Dark Gaia. His plan was to harness Dark Gaia's power to build Eggmanland, but Sonic thwarted his plans and restored the planet.[55]

Later, Eggman learned of the Wisps, aliens containing Hyper-go-on energy, which he planned to use for a mind control cannon to conquer the universe. He chained the Wisps' home planets to an interstellar amusement park, Egg Planet Park, which he falsely claimed in public was built to redeem himself. However, Sonic and Tails uncovered his plan, freed the Wisps, and destroyed the park.[56] Stranded in space, the doctor discovered the Time Eater, a deity that could control spacetime, and used the creature to kidnap many locations from Sonic's past, teaming up with his past self, Classic Eggman. However, the Eggmen were defeated by Sonic and his own younger self.[46] Eggman then set up camp on the Lost Hex and enslaved the Deadly Six to harness the world's life energy, but was forced to team up with Sonic after losing control over them.[57]

Eggman later re-discovered the Phantom Ruby and used it to empower Infinite, his new right-hand man. With this power, Eggman defeated Sonic and imprisoned him on a rebuilt Death Egg, allowing him to conquer the world. However, he was opposed by Sonic's friends, who formed the Resistance, triggering the War to Take Back the Planet. Six months later, the Resistance freed Sonic and was joined by Classic Sonic. Despite Eggman's efforts to foil them, the heroes liberated most of the planet and defeated Infinite. Eggman then used the Phantom Ruby and the Death Egg Robot in a final effort to win the war, but was ultimately defeated by Sonic and his friends.[58]

Most recently, Eggman sought to exploit the advanced technology created by the alien Ancients on the Starfall Islands. He created an AI named Sage for protection but became trapped in Cyber Space. Over time, he inadvertently bonded with Sage, whose abilities far exceeded his expectations. Sonic eventually destroyed the islands' Titans, freeing his friends and Eggman, but also releasing The End, a world-threatening entity. Sonic defeated The End with Sage's help, culminating in Sage's sacrifice. Devastated, Eggman later recovered Sage's data and partially restored her much to her joy.[59]

Personality[edit | edit source]

Sage keeps running the numbers by me and its getting tedious. Yes, the power that wiped out the Ancients was formidable. Yes, unleashing it on this world would be catastrophic. But I'm a genius. Once I'm out of here I'll find a way to handle it. Better yet, weaponize it against Sonic!


— Dr. Eggman's confidence in controlling The End, Sonic Frontiers

Described as the world's vilest person and worst screw-up, Eggman is an immoral mad scientist who only thinks about doing bad things.[60][61][62][13] He always aspires to conquer the world to create what he deems a utopia, dubbed "Eggmanland".[13][63] 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.[64][65] Eggman constantly uses his scientific genius and robotic expertise to create weapons and gadgets in his bid to build Eggmanland.[66][34][67]

Eggman is extremely narcissistic and egotistical, noted for being very selfish, sometimes rude, and greedy.[62] His main motivation is gaining constant attention,[14] and views himself as the best scientist in the world.[68][69] He has a tendency to plaster his persona all over his creations and bases to fuel his ego,[70] but occasionally bases his work around other themes.[14] Because he places so much value on aesthetics, especially his own, his design philosophy often focuses on design and gimmicks over functionality.[71] Overflowing with self-confidence and pride,[72] he works hard on his speeches and hates it when others interrupt them.[73]

Inmensely self-serving, Eggman only thinks about what he wants and has little regard for the consequences of his actions, viewing the world and its people as inferior and weak.[74][75] When revealing himself, he ignores his own allies and gives all the credit to himself instead.[76] He is very opportunistic and is only interested in things that benefit him,[77] rarely seeking collaborations with others unless they can aid him in some way.[78] He merely sees others, his own minions included, as pawns to be used and discarded when they have outlasted their purpose,[79] imposing harsh punishments on those that disobey or disappoint him and using them as vessels of both psychological and physical abuse.[80][81][82] 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.[83] Conversely, he is quick to praise those that impress him and claim they met his expectations, even after initially doubting their capacities.[82]

Eggman has a passion for robotics,[84][6] being a mechanophile[85][86] 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.[87][9][88] 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.[89] He has no qualms about kidnapping Animals to use them as living energy sources for his robots.[14]

— One of Eggman's self-aware remarks, Sonic Dream Team[90]

Eggman's selfish nature is complemented by a very childish behavior and short temper, seen as a source of his desire for world conquest[8][33][91] and making him believe that domination is an easy task.[4] 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.[72][13] 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.[92][93] 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".[89] 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.[94][95] He will proudly celebrate his "victories", even if they stem from foul play.[96]

One of Eggman's strongest points is his absolute refusal to give up and determination to succeed, even in seemingly hopeless scenarios,[8][97] and merely views defeats as setbacks rather than discouragements.[11][84][76] 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,[98][99] which has earned him a reputation for screwing up at his plans.[100]

I will finally accomplish my goal of world domination! I can see it now! The world will bow before me! You can do naught but wait, cowering in fear! You poor weaklings! You shall learn to fear me! So long, my loud-mouthed spiky rat friend! The next time we meet, I shall be the king of the world!

— Eggman making a cruel speech to intimidate Sonic and Emerl, Sonic Battle[101]

Eggman can be very serious and threatening despite his immaturity, employing death threats to intimidate opponents while remaining composed.[102][103] He is very manipulative and cunning, exploiting others with lies and false surrenders. He has successfully deceived simple-minded individuals like Knuckles[104] and even lured clever individuals like Sonic himself into his traps.[81][105] 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.[106][107] He can outsmart enemies when learning from his mistakes, as seen during the War to Take Back the Planet, where he built a backup generator for the Phantom Ruby and left disinformation about that gem to mislead the Resistance.[108][109]

Eggman has no problem committing senseless destruction for his plans, even contemplating genocide[110] and taking pleasure in murdering his enemies.[111] He is willing to destroy virtually anything that gets in his way if he can gain something from doing so.[63] He was content with conquering what was left of the world after the Deadly Six's actions on the Lost Hex,[112] and was impressed by Infinite's innate desire to cause chaos and recruited him for this reason.[113] Eggman is very vindictive,[61] making last-minute attacks just to avenge previous defeats. He has even attempted suicide attacks, notably trying to personally detonate a missile launched deep into the heart of Station Square after his initial plans were foiled.[114]

Owing to his delusions of grandiosity, Eggman refuses to let others cause destruction outside his direction. This was shown when Chaos betrayed him and flooded Station Square; 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.[115] His goal is to rule the world, not destroy it, as world conquest would be rendered impossible with no world to conquer.[116][117][118]

Despite his desire for world domination, selfishness, etc. Eggman does have a human side.[13] 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.[119] When he cooperated with Eggman Nega, he was freaked out by Nega's more ruthless methods to deny his enemies victory.[120][121] At the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, Eggman had an honest conversation with Tails about his admiration for his grandfather, questioning his actions and wondering if he intended to destroy him. Eggman's changes of heart make him hard to figure out, once admitting to being "a complicated guy".[122]

I don't settle for the world as it is, Doctor. I make it what I want it to be. If I want my enemies' last moments to be carousel music and the smell of petroleum-based cotton candy, that's what I'll make happen.


— Dr. Eggman, Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #4

In the IDW Comics, Dr. Eggman is an evil and megalomaniacal genius who is constantly planning to take over Earth and those beyond his. Showing contempt for how "filthy" and "irregular" the world is, he views himself as obligated to perfect it by ridding it of what he deems as imperfections, including hunger, disease and, above all, free will.[123] Arrogant, raucous and explosive, he believes that he is bringing peace and unity to Earth under his brilliant leadership, but has no qualms about destroying the Earth and all life on it before moving on to another world if needed.[124][125] He also does not accept the world as it is as a whole. Instead, he wants to transform it to his liking and set up terrifying amusement parks like Eggman Land. His reason for doing so is that he simply likes amusement parks and does not care about their effectiveness; all he wants is to control precisely what his enemies experience in their last moments. Eggman likewise prefers to show up and claim responsibility whenever he is carrying out his villainous deeds and make himself known to his enemies after he comes back from a defeat;[126][127] as put by Sonic, subtlety is not Eggman's forte.[128]

Dr. Eggman threatening an innocent Ricky, from Sonic the Hedgehog #13.

Eggman has a tendency to often personalize his works by plastering his face or overall image all over his creations, like the Faceship.[123] Other times, he focuses his work around a specific theme.[129] He also uses every situation he can get to personally destroy his enemies and move closer to the realization of his ambitions, as well as evade every instance where he is supposed to take responsibility for his actions and the consequences that follows as a result of his half-baked schemes.[125] Having little to no honor either, Eggman is likewise depicted as having almost zero compassion and regard for others than himself. Cunning and deceitful, he will use and manipulate his minions and subordinates however he sees fit without a pang of remorse, not caring about ideals such as loyalty. He similarly uses them as tools that he can get rid of at any time after they either fail him or have served their purpose. Noticeably, he tricked Rough and Tumble into turning themselves into Zombots despite the skunk brothers being "perfect minion fodder" for him and that he owed them a deal for helping him back to his senses while he was an amnesiac.[130] He similarly seeks to enslave the whole world with fear. He is also shown to be extremely ungrateful and sadistic, as some of his first victims during the Metal Virus plague were the people of Windmill Village who took care of him while he was suffering from amnesia simply to test his virus and demonstrate "no good deed goes unpunished".[123]

Powers and abilities[edit | edit source]

Eggman is an immense intellectual with an IQ of 300,[3] which he genetically inherited from his family of brilliant scientists.[14] He is easily one of the greatest inventors in the world, with virtually unparalleled scientific knowledge and robotic engineering skills.[13][131][132] His intellect alone makes him a very formidable opponent.[14]

Eggman has designed a vast array of weapons, machinery, and devices, including armies of robot soldiers known as Badniks, which range from basic Egg Pawns to advanced Egg Gunners, Interceptors and Big Chasers. He has even created some of the most powerful robots in history, such as Metal Sonic—who rivals Sonic the Hedgehog in speed and power—and the E-Series, the last of which, Omega, reputedly being the strongest robot ever built.[133] His creations also include the Egg Fleet, an armada of flying warships with unmatched power, and the Death Egg and E.G.G. Station, which are armed with groundbreaking weaponry. He has developed powerful weapons like the Final Egg Blaster and the Chaos Energy Cannon, capable of destroying star clusters, and devices to control minds globally or harness the Chaos Emeralds' powers to manipulate time and space.[134] Eggman has additionally displayed knowledge in physiology of various creatures, as demonstrated by transforming the Time Eater into a cyborg and merging the Phantom Ruby with Infinite. His business acumen is also notable, having significantly profited from his robotic creations and associated facilities.[13] He also possessed cunningness, as demonstrated during the Chaos Incident where Eggman, after deducing Knuckles's mistaking Chaos Emeralds for Master Emerald shards, exploited this weakness by strongly implying that Sonic and Tails were hunting for Master Emerald shards themselves, resulting in the three having a battle that resulted in Eggman nabbing two of the Chaos Emeralds to feed to Chaos.

Eggman's expertise extends to piloting his self-designed vehicles, from the Egg Mobile to various combat mechs. When he raided Prison Island, he used the Eggwalker to overpower G.U.N.'s combat robots, and even Sonic has struggled against Eggman in his mechs.[105] Eggman also excels in driving and racing in racecars like his Egg Booster. His skills as a machine pilot are only rivaled by Tails, who was able to beat him during two confrontations at one point. Eggman has shown effective coordination with allies in battle, controlling the Egg Salamander with Eggman Nega and the Time Eater with his past self. Although not frequently used, Eggman is a skilled Extreme Gear rider too, adept with various types of Gear, including his E-Rider.

Physically, Eggman is surprisingly strong, quick, and agile for his obesity, although this was the opposite for him in the classic era (see below).[135] Classified as a Power Type,[136] he can shatter a large and thick wall of ice[103] and punch away cars and trains using only his bare hands.[137] He is also quite durable, being able to survive a fall down to Earth from the Lost Hex and emerge from it with little harm.[138] Furthermore, he is able to sprint at immense speeds, comparable to even Sonic himself for a few seconds.[139]

His powers only grow greater in his dreams, considering that, as shown during the reverie incident, when he takes over the reverie and/or probably with excessive amounts of nightmare fuel, he can become Nightmare Eggman. In this form, he can duplicate, teleport, fire lasers, create shockwaves, and have a mind that coexists within multiple bodies, making him a great threat as his chances off fully taking over the reverie and thus making his twisted dreams come true grow far too extreme.

In the IDW Comics, Eggman is a brilliant scientist and inventor with seemingly limitless mastery over technology. His remarkable skills as an engineer and programmer are best evidenced by the armies of robots, machines and mechs he has created for his numerous schemes. He is also an incredibly skilled pilot: able to manipulate many different kinds of his own mechs, robots and vehicles in difficult battles with Sonic and even his own mechs.[140][141] He also has proficiency in using handguns.

According to Rouge, Eggman is quite physically capable despite the shape of his physique. Even Mimic, a trained mercenary, shrunk away in fear when Eggman approached him. Notably, he has enough strength to swing someone at Dr. Starline's size and weight around effortlessly and knock him out cold by slamming him into the ground.[140][141] He is also quite durable, having emerged from his massive destroyed mechs without suffering any injuries himself.[141] He also has sharp reflexes, being able to dodge a surprise attack from one of Starline's Multi-Tool Heel Spurs.[141]

Equipment[edit | edit source]

Eggman has wielded a number of guns and weapons on several occasions, though he was never shown to use most of them. Early into the Lost Hex incident, he used a laser pistol that could fire shots powerful enough to tear a hole in the Tornado's wings.[142]

Despite how simple they appear, Eggman's glasses are in fact highly advanced technological eyewear. With them, he could track the Chaos Emeralds' locations in the corners of the distorted world after they were flung there by Solaris.[143]

Like his glasses, Eggman's jacket is equipped with several gadgets that can be activated with the press of some hidden buttons. During the first EX World Grand Prix for example, he could activate a holographic screen from his left arm.[144] Also, with a push of the lower-right gold button on his jacket, he can extend the wings of a jetpack on his back and initiate flight.[145]

When racing with Extreme Gear, Eggman is known to use gadgets such as comically large party poppers and mechanical boxing gloves to attack his opponents.

During the Chaos incident, the doctor briefly used a small, unseen object that allowed him to teleport himself and other desired subjects somewhere else. However, the properties of this invention remain unconfirmed.[146]

In the IDW Comics, Eggman has been known to wield weapons on different occasions, including a small laser pistol that can fire large laser beams which can obliterate anything in their path. His goggles are also equipped with isolation lenses that protects him from the effects used to hypnotize people.[147]

Weaknesses[edit | edit source]

Despite his amazing intellect, Eggman's impatience and arrogance tend to make him act hastily and overlook crucial details when he tries to concentrate on a greater goal. Such was the case during the Dark Gaia incident when he awoke Dark Gaia too early in order to harvest his power for the construction of Eggmanland without even considering the repercussions of awakening Dark Gaia before he had reached full maturity.[98] His childish behavior can be considered a weak spot of his as well.[8] He also tends to let his guard down too easily causing Sonic to attack the weak spots in his mechs.[6] In the classic era, unlike now, he was a bit of a weakling and was alot more clumsy and cowardly than he is today.[148][149][better source needed]

Far from being subtle, Eggman's overconfidence sometimes makes him boast a lot, making him accidentally reveal details about his plans and give hints to his enemies as to how to defeat him, all of this without him even realizing what he is saying.[150][151] He is also noted to not be very good at keeping things hidden.[152]

Dr. Eggman, from Sonic Prime.

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 Mr. Dr. Eggman, Dr. Babble, Dr. Deep, Dr. Don't and Dr. Done-It.

Paramount[edit | edit source]

Main article: Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Paramount)
Dr. Ivo Robotnik, from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film).

In the 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 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 who could move at superhuman speeds. From there, he sought out to capture this creature in order to harness his unlimited power for his own 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 with the help of Knuckles the Echidna, an alien echidna who was in search of Sonic and the Master Emerald. The doctor aided the echidna in his search for the gemstone, only to claim it for himself and later terrorize Green Hills. However, he was defeated through the combined efforts of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.

IDW Publishing[edit | edit source]

Main article: Doctor Eggman/History and appearances (IDW)
Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog #15.

In the 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 Eggman War, the doctor went missing, and his 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 Chaotix, Sonic, Shadow and Rouge, who decided to leave him be, considering him harmless and benevolent now. Soon after, however, the scientist was kidnapped by Rough and Tumble on the orders of 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 Zombots, 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-Badniks. He was also revealed to be the creator of a benevolent robot called Belle while he had amnesia.

Cultural impact[edit | edit source]

Critical reception[edit | edit source]

The character has been well-received, going on to become one of the most well-known villains in gaming. GameDaily ranked him number one on their list of "Top 25 Evil Masterminds of All Time" article, stating "Out of all the evil masterminds in video games, none are more despicable, more cunning, or more menacing".[153] IGN listed him at number nine above Mario-series villain Bowser in their "Top 10 Most Memorable Villains" article, calling him "PETA's videogame public enemy number one",[154] and has also commented that his character is a "pretty clever riff on Teddy Roosevelt" that has added to the attraction of the series.[155] He was featured at number three in a "Reader's Choice" edition of GameSpot's "Top Ten Video Game Villains" article, which noted a massive complaint from fans at his exclusion from the original list.[156] Eggman was also named the 15th most diabolical video game villain of all time by PC World.[157] Game Informer notes that in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, "Eggman's villain ego shows some amusing tarnish after constant defeat at the hands of Sonic."[158]Boy's Life magazine listed "Dr. Eggman / Dr. Robotnik" as number one on their top five video game villains, saying "Two names, one big problem for Sonic the Hedgehog". In the "Top 100 Videogame Villains" of IGN, in 2010, Dr. Eggman was ranked at 11th place.

In an official 2006 Sonic character poll by Sonic Team, Dr. Eggman was voted the seventh most popular character in the series.[159]

Science[edit | edit source]

A potential macrocycle inhibitor of the Sonic hedgehog gene, discovered by a Harvard University research team, was named "Robotnikinin" after Dr. Robotnik. The researchers felt that since Sonic hedgehog was named after the Sega video game character, they should "adhere to the convention" in naming the inhibiting compound after the character's arch-enemy.[160]

Quotes[edit | edit source]

Main article: Doctor Eggman/Miscellaneous#Quotes
"This completes my plan to take over the world. Now begins the glorious era of the Empire of Eggman!"
—Dr. Eggman, Sonic Adventure 2
"I am Dr. Eggman, the most brilliant mastermind in the world! I aspire for nothing short of world domination! Many times I have come close--oh so close! But always, at the very last minute, my beautiful plans are foiled by that pest, Sonic!"
—Dr. Eggman, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
"It's Sonic who named me "Eggman." Except the joke's on him! I embraced the name! I made it my own! His mockery is now a name feared across the ages! I'm not going to adopt "Baldy McNosehair," though. My dignity has its limits."
—Dr. Eggman, Sonic Frontiers

As far as design, Mr. Oshima (the team member in charge of character designs) was trying to create something easy enough so that kids would be able to draw the characters.

That was the name of the character, but when the game got localized and ported into the Sonic the Hedgehog that we know in the West, they decided to, without confirming with the development team, change his name to Ivo Robotnik or just Robotnik. That's kind of when everyone first learned about the character. Of course, this was without consulting the people who made the game. They just kind of went off and did it. It became super popular and everyone in the West kind of learned about the character as Robotnik. [...] We [Sega of Japan] really didn't want to have anyone in the universe with two names. To us, he's Eggman, but in the rest of the world he's called Robotnik. We wanted to unify that into one name moving forward. This is something I actually did in the Sonic Adventure series. I made it so that we understand the character's name is Robotnik, but his nickname is Eggman, and as far as everyone is concerned in the world now, we're just going to call him Eggman as his official name."

"名は体を現す。タマゴ体型の科学者。IQは300と非常に高く、優れた科学者（特にロボット工学の権威）だが、あまりにも童心たっぷりなため、世界征服などという実際どうしていいのかよくわからない妄想を現実にしようと躍起になっている。ロマンチスト且つフェミニスト。自称紳士のええかっこしい。ちなみに英語でＥＧＧＨＥＡＤとはいやみなインテリハゲをさす。ソニックを生涯の宿敵とみなし、ソニック打倒と世界征服が彼の悲願であるが、心の奥ではどこかソニックを憎からず思っている節があるようである。 [The name reveals the body. An egg-shaped scientist. He has a very high IQ of 300 and is an excellent scientist (especially an authority on robotics), but he is so childish that he is eager to realize the delusion of conquering the world and so on. He is a romantic and feminist. He is a self-proclaimed gentleman. By the way, he refers to EGGHEAD in English, which is not an intellectual baldness. He sees Sonic as his lifelong nemesis, and while overthrowing Sonic and conquering the world is his long-cherished wish, there seems to be somewhere in his heart that he does not hate Sonic.]"
