Doctor Eggman

“	Citizens of earth, lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully! My name is Dr. 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!	„
	~ Dr. Eggman

Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is a character created by the Japanese game designer Naoto Ohshima. He is the main antagonist of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Eggman is a mad scientist who seeks to steal the mystical Chaos Emeralds, defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, and conquer the world. Eggman and his "Badnik" brand of military robots serve as bosses and enemies in the Sonic platform games. His distinctive characteristics include his red-black-yellow clothing, baldness, pince-nez sunglasses, and large mustache.

Eggman made a cameo appearance in the 1991 TeraDrive game Puzzle Construction before his full debut in the Sega Genesis game Sonic the Hedgehog later that year. Ohshima designed Eggman as one of several pitches for a mascot character to compete with Nintendo's Mario. Although Sonic was selected, Sonic Team thought the Eggman design was excellent and retooled him as the antagonist. Sega of America renamed him Robotnik for Sonic's Western release; subsequent games reconciled the different names by establishing "Eggman" as a derisive nickname that the character reclaimed.

Eggman has appeared in almost every Sonic game, sometimes as a player character. Sonic games characterize him as a maniacal roboticist who seeks to create his own empire. Despite his obsession with defeating Sonic, he secretly respects him, and the two are sometimes forced into alliances to overcome greater threats. Outside the Sonic platform games, Eggman starred in the puzzle game Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (1993). Chikao Ohtsuka and Kotaro Nakamura have voiced Eggman in Japan, while Mike Pollock has provided his English voice since 2003.

Eggman is one of the most famous video game characters and an established pop culture icon. He is widely considered one of the greatest and most iconic video game villains. His likeness has been featured in Sonic merchandise, and he has been adapted in comics, animations, and films. Jim Carrey portrays him in the live-action film franchise distributed by Paramount Pictures.
