Doctor Eggman - Personality and Main Details

Dr. Eggman is the grandson of Professor Gerald Robotnik, and cousin of Maria Robotnik. He is an evil genius with an I.Q. of 300 and a very childish demeanor. He always tries to take over the world by enslaving the population inside robots to serve his every whim. Of course, Sonic and his friends are always there to stop him.

According to the Sonic Heroes booklet, he is a gentleman and supports women rights.

In appearance he is obese, possessing an egg-shaped body. Sometimes he is portrayed with long spindly arms and legs and sometimes with shorter, stumpier limbs. He tends to almost exclusively wear combinations of red and black and is often depicted with tinted, round pince-nez spectacles. In other depictions his eyes are either black with red, glowing pupils or are replaced entirely with camera lenses. His trademark mustache is always depicted, but the color (either red or brown) may be different depending on the depiction.

He has built several airships, such as the Egg Carrier and a space station called the Death Egg. He has also built countless robots, a number of which resemble either himself or his longtime rival, Sonic.

In most video games, the main villain is the final boss fought by the player. Eggman, in contrast, appears as the boss of every level in most of the Sonic games, in a different machine each time.

He was one of the suggestions for the protagonist in the game that would eventually be called Sonic the Hedgehog. However, the blue hedgehog was won the in-house design contest and Eggman had to settle for villain.

Eggman's name comes from The Beatles' "I am the Walrus" (I am the eggman, they are the eggmen). His look, in particular his facial appearance, was inspired by U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt. [1]
