{{quote|'''Debut''': ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''}}
 
======= Voiced by [[Masaharu Sato]] (''Segasonic the Hedgehog''), [[Junpei Takiguchi]] (Japanese, [[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|OVA]]), [[Chikao Ohtsuka]] (Japanese, ''[[Sonic X]]'', 1998-present), Edwin Neal (English, ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|STH: The Movie]]''), Deem Bristow (English, 1999-2004), [[Mike Pollock]] (English, ''[[Sonic X]]'', 2005-present) ======={{when}}
 
Sonic's longtime nemesis and primary antagonist of the series. He boasts an IQ of 300 and is marked by his comically obese appearance.
 
* [[Acrofatic]]: He can keep pace with Sonic for some reason, despite his pudgy exterior.
* [[Author Existence Failure|Actor Existence Failure]]: Eggman's original English voice actor, Deem Bristow, died of a heart attack in early 2005, which is thought to have led to the [[The Other Darrin|entire voice cast being replaced]]. <ref>Actually, the decision to replace the cast was made before Bristow's death.</ref>
* [[Adult Child]]
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: From ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' through ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', he never seemed to learn that [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]. He seems to have recently learned in ''[[Sonic Colors]]''.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Appropriated Appellation]]: "Eggman" was introduced stateside as a mocking nickname, but he seems to have embraced it.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Sonic, and seemingly small animals everywhere.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: An early Archie Comics description of him described him as Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Meglomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, [[Kick the Dog|Puppy Kicker]], Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Doctor Ivo Robotnik.
* [[Bad Liar]]/[[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Claiming that his [[Sonic Colors|amusement park was created to make up for his past transgressions and is in no way secretly covering up an evil scheme.]]
* [[Badass Mustache]]: He has it.
* [[Bad Liar]]/[[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Claiming that his [[Sonic Colors|amusement park was created to make up for his past transgressions and is in no way secretly covering up an evil scheme.]]
* [[Bald of Evil]]: He is bald, and he is evil, so....
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Just look at that shit-eating grin...
* [[Deface of the Moon]]: Blows up half the moon in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', though it seems to have been retconned in later games.
** If Sonic X is any indication, he repaired it shortly after the events of the game
* [[The Determinator]]: You do have to give him the credit, for no matter the setbacks, he'll always try to defeat Sonic. [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in the Archie comics during Ian Flynn's run; there, the constant setbacks were slowly cracking his mind until issue 200, in which he finally suffers from a completely disturbing and realistic [[Villainous Breakdown]]. However, not long afterwards, he recovers from said breakdown by ''reasoning himself out of it''.
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: He has an IQ of 300, but is simultaneously [[Adult Child|very childish]].
* [[Dub Name Change]]: From "Eggman" to "Robotnik". Eventually, due to the western continuities becoming obsolete once ''Adventure'' came out, they eventually decided to name him "Ivo Robotnik" (with "Eggman" as a nickname) in all versions.
* [[Egopolis]]: Eggman wants to create Eggmanland, a city bearing his likeness. In ''Sonic Unleashed'', he succeeds at this.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Bad Men Love Their Grandpas]]: He has a deep respect for his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, and it is heavily implied that he may have desired to conquer the world because he felt that his grandfather was unjustly arrested.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Typically downgraded to assisting the heroes, lest an even ''crazier'' person tries to destroy the planet. Is also genuinely horrified when he learns that Gerald Robotnik apparently sold out his home planet to Black Doom for the sake of research.
** Also, when Chip states that Eggman might be starving Professor Pickle when he had him imprisoned, Tails remarks to Chip that Eggman's most likely going to be feeding him while imprisoned, as "even he isn't that cruel." Of course, that's not saying that the food is actually [[Lethal Chef|edible]], but still.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Bad Men Love Their Grandpas]]: He has a deep respect for his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, and it is heavily implied that he may have desired to conquer the world because he felt that his grandfather was unjustly arrested.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Tails in several ways, especially in ''Sonic Adventure 2''.
* [[Evilly Affable]]: Most of the more ruthless alternate incarnations (e.g. the ''SatAm'' and Archie comic interpretations) at least have some moderate goofy or whimsical traits.
* [[Evil Genius]]: What did you expect?
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: In much of the 3D games from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' through ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', he's displaced by the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|evil he's unsealed]] as the [[Final Boss]].
* [[Evilly Affable]]: Most of the more ruthless alternate incarnations (e.g. the ''SatAm'' and Archie comic interpretations) at least have some moderate goofy or whimsical traits.
* [[Evil Virtues]]: Hard worker and a lifelong admiration of his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. [[Word of God]] also states Eggman as a wannabe feminist with a hidden romantic side, though [[Save the Princess|we never see it in action]]. On that note, judging by two [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]] moments in [[Sonic Unleashed]], Eggman is also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zQrO4y1aDY&feature=related a fan of the SegaDreamcast], carrying it with him [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxmmwTSDubk all the way to Sonic's battle with Dark Gaia.]
* [[Fat Bastard]]
* [[Fat Idiot]]: Inverted: Eggman, though bumbling and [[Cloudcuckoolander|slightly unstable]], is a technological genius.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Some alternate interpretations, particularly the ''[[Sonic the Comic|StC]]'' and ''SatAM'' versions, revolve many of their plans or pasttimespast-times on the suffering of innocents. The games and ''Sonic X'' versions are more toned down, though they do retain [[Card-Carrying Villain]] traits on occasion.'
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]
* [[Game Over Man]]: While not explicitly appearing on the Game Over screen, the Megadrive game endings depict Eggman taunting you if you missed some Chaos Emeralds. (In Knuckles' ''Sonic 3'' quest, this role is filled by Eggrobo/Metal Sonic.)
** Played straight in ''[[Sega Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Sonic Spinball]]''. You'll hear his digitized laugh whenever you lose a life.
* [[Gasshole]]: According to Sonic in ''[[Sonic Colors]]''.
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: In his ''Sonic Adventure'' tenure.
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[Large Ham]]: He's this in general, especially in AoStH.
* [[Laughably Evil]]
* [[Lethal Chef]]: In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', Professor Pickle complained about the food he served, and neither Sonic or Chip enjoy eating anything from Eggmanland.
** In [[Sonic Colors]], Tails apparently paid an ill-advised visit to the Bucket O' Sushi food stall between cut-scenes. His only comment on the experience? "His cruelty knows no bounds".
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Of course.
* [[Malevolent Mugshot]]: Eggman must be proud of his work, because he stencils his cartoon mug on all of his inventions. The Death Egg even sported a giant mustache.
** There seems to be some history behind this. The Space Colony ARK in ''Adventure 2'' bears a similar visage when the Eclipse Cannon is revealed but there's no way Eggman contributed to that since his grandfather was the last person to set foot on the station.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: He has manipulated Knuckles repeatedly (though by the fourth time or so, it might be more [[What an Idiot!|Knuckles' fault]]) and even tricked Tails into revealing he had a fake Chaos Emerald. Also, he tricked Sonic into getting in the center of his ray to unseal Dark Gaia.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Eggman's English VA, [[Mike Pollock]], is very friendly and likes to keep in touch with fans.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: In Sonic 2006, every time Silver attempts to kill Sonic, Eggman kidnaps her. In a way, he actually saved the world, as Sonic being killed in front of Elise would have had far worse rammificationsramifications, as the Final Story revealed.
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Particularly in the anime.
* [[Off-Model]]: In [[Sonic the Fighters]], in the final fight against him, he is inexplicably smaller than Sonic!
* [[Opaque Lenses]]: Eggman's blue [[Lennon Specs|pince-nez glasses]].
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Wears these in ''Sonic Shuffle'' and the [[Sonic X (comics)|Sonic X comic.]]
** Sonic accuses King Sharyar of doing this in Sonic and the Secret Rings, only to find out it's ''not'' Eggman. Then again, Sonic did this to almost everyone in the [[Sonic Storybook Series]], but start to get used to it eventually, only briefly confusing the blacksmith for Tails and then only stating that Gawain ''reminds'' him of Knuckles and not even mentioning Percival's resemblance to Blaze.
Line 97 ⟶ 96:
* [[Take Over the World]]: What he wants to do in most installments/adaptations.
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Outside of the games, he formed one with [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Scratch and Grounder]] and [[Sonic X|Decoe and Bocoe]]. In the games, he forms one with Orbot and Cubot.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In ''Sonic Adventure 2'' in his plots going so far as to take hostages. Even partly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by our boy in blue.
{{quote|'''Sonic:''' "You turned into a BIG TIME villain, doctor."}}
** In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' he captured Sonic in his ''super form'' and drained his Emerald energy to power a machine that ''detonates the planet''!!! Meanwhile in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' he creates a gargantuan space station that chains multiple planets together so as to capture aliens to power his machinery ([[True Final Boss|with not a single treacherous]] [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[True Final Boss|in sight]]).
** He goes through another level in ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', {{spoiler|where he, yet again, gets aholda hold of an Eldritch Abomination. Only this time, ''he manages to keep it under control without it betraying him!''}}
*** Another way of putting it is that Eggman, despite becoming a more comical villain, had become capable of a Class X [[Apocalypse How]] in ''Sonic Unleashed'', then a Class X-2 in ''Sonic Colors'' and finally a Class Z in ''Sonic Generations''.
* [[To the Bat Noun]]: His weapons, vehicles, and a good amount of his [[Mecha-Mooks]] inevitably have "Egg" in their name.
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
Robotic replica of Sonic. Has disobeyed his creator Dr. Robotnik in the past.
 
======= Voiced by [[Masami Kikuchi]] (Japanese, [[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|OVA]]), [[Junichi Kanemaru]] (Japanese, games), Gary Dehan (English, ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|STH: The Movie]]''), Ryan Drummond (English, 2004) =======
 
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: It's generally assumed that Robotnik made an upgrade to Metal that made him go mad with power and ego in ''Heroes''. To elaborate, Metal deluded himself into believing ''he'' was the real Sonic, and that Sonic was his "loathsome copy"!
* [[A God Am I]]: In ''Heroes''.
{{quote|'''Metal Overlord''': "See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything! I shall become the ultimate overlord, ruling as the world's most supreme being!"}}
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: It's generally assumed that Robotnik made an upgrade to Metal that made him go mad with power and ego in ''Heroes''. To elaborate, Metal deluded himself into believing ''he'' was the real Sonic, and that Sonic was his "loathsome copy"!
** In the Movie/OVA, his programming is based on Sonic's mind. After a while, this eventually becomes a crapshoot in the other direction, and he does things the real Sonic would do.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The original design is more simplistic and puppet-like, while his post Sonic Adventure 2 design gave him a little more detail and played with his proportions a little.
Line 140 ⟶ 137:
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: He was created to exceed Sonic's speed, which he does very well due to having a jet engine sticking out of his torso. However, since this causes him to outright fly, he often has trouble [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbfVC2ayMfs&t=1m10s stopping.]
** In addition, that kind of speed puts a huge strain on his insides--Metal Sonic is prone to overheating after traveling faster than Sonic for too long, when he has to spend time to cool down. In ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', this is his one biggest weakness.
* [[The Dragon]]
* [[The Determinator]]: His resolve is almost as strong as Sonic's.
{{quote|"I WILL BATTLE YOU AS MANY TIMES AS IT IS NECESSARY."}}
* [[The Dragon]]
* [[Evil Knockoff]]: However, in ''Heroes'', his desire to prove himself to be better than Sonic [[Sanity Slippage|had progressed to the point]] that he thought ''he'' was the real deal.
{{quote|'''Metal Overlord''': "Guooooo! [[This Cannot Be!|Why?! I had it all!]] [[Not So Invincible After All|I am the ultimate overlord]], '''Metal''' Sonic. I am the ''real'' Sonic!"}}
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: In his ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' appearance. Surprisingly, its just Ryan Drummond's Sonic voice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iKTD-Lai1U given a robotic makeover.]
* [[Evil Twin]]
* [[A God Am I]]: In ''Heroes''.
{{quote|'''Metal Overlord''': "See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything! I shall become the ultimate overlord, ruling as the world's most supreme being!"}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|In the Archie Comics, Metal sacrificed himself to save Sonic and Tails by stopping a lava flow, and was eventually engulfed by it.}}
** Likewise, this happens in the Movie/OVA. See "[[Redemption Equals Death]]" below.
** {{spoiler|Also happens in ''Sonic Rivals 2''. He rips out his own power source to allow Shadow to use it to transport them [[No One Gets Left Behind|both out of the Ifrit's dimension]].}}
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Metallix...
** Though Mecha Sonic (at least in the games) is a separate character.
** In the Movie, he was called Hyper Metal Sonic.
* [[Image Song]]: Metal Sonic has many themes, which fit him extremely well:
** From the Genesis era, there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dit471eEE0g "Metal Sonic"] from the Sega Virtual Tunes, about his purpose and personality.
Line 155 ⟶ 157:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5FW0gXNkco "Never Let It Go"], his theme from ''Sonic the Fighters''.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK82EmKzXEk "Look A-Like"], shared with Sonic from the movie.
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Metallix...
** Though Mecha Sonic (at least in the games) is a separate character.
** In the Movie, he was called Hyper Metal Sonic.
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Ore".
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Metal Overlord from ''Sonic Heroes'', and even earlier he did this to become Mega Metal Sonic from ''Knuckles Chaotix''.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: He's this in the movie, and in his Neo Metal Sonic and Metal Overlord forms.
* [[Ramming Always Works]] His V. Max Overdrive attack, where he overclocks his systems to make himself hazardous to touch and zoom across the stage.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|In the Movie, Metal Sonic saves the President and Old Man Owl from an exploding hovercraft, only to be smashed into a lava pool he had opened up a few minutes ago.}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Robot Me]]
* [[Second Law, My Ass]]: Pulled this one out in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''; Fed up with Dr. Eggman's failures, he threw the doctor into a room and took over the [[The Empire|Eggman Empire]] himself to go about his ''own'' plans.
Line 169:
* [[Some Kind of Force Field]]: Besides the Black Shield ability from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]] Battle'', he also projects one in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie]]'' whenever he's flying around, especially when he piledrives into Planet Freedom from space.
* [[The Starscream]]: In ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', although by his defeat, Eggman reprogrammed him to ensure this would never happen again--although that may not have been foolproof, since ''Sonic Free Riders'' shows he still has hints of free will, going behind Eggman's back to copy the racers data, and promptly challenge Sonic to a new race.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: He and Sonic were voiced by the same American and Japanese actors in ''[[Sonic Heroes|Heroes]]''.
* [[There Can Only Be One]]: {{spoiler|''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|There is only one Sonic.]]''}}
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]
* [[The Voiceless]]: In all appearances barring ''Heroes'' (where he's [[Suddenly Voiced]] after receiving an upgrade) and ''The Movie'' (where he's [[The Quiet One]]).
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Read the above.

{{quote|'''Debut:''' ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''}}
 
The '''other''' robotic replica of Sonic. Sometimes known as "Silver Sonic" and often confused with Metal Sonic, the two are actually completely different robots. He has made five appearances: First in Sonic 2 (both the genesis and game gear versions), returned in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, returned in Sonic Pocket Adventure, and made a cameo in Sonic Adventure. He also popped up at least three times in the Archie universe, the third time being as recent as issue #225!
Line 186 ⟶ 182:
* [[Art Evolution]]: The original design (pictured left) was a bulky, silver design that arguably resembled Sonic more than even Metal Sonic did. Sonic 3 & Knuckles did away with this, giving like a [http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/246/9/d/Mecha_Sonic_by_stucat.jpg dark purple, sleeker design.] While Sonic Pocket Adventure reused his Sonic 2 look, his Sonic Adventure cameo gave him [http://www.google.com/imgres?q=sonic+adventure+mecha+sonic&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1T4ADSA_enUS418US419&biw=1600&bih=691&tbm=isch&tbnid=0d0K8iNuUV-oHM:&imgrefurl=http://board.sonicstadium.org/topic/8365-sonic-adventure-mecha-sonic/&docid=ul3_qgghyfSFIM&w=640&h=480&ei=kImUTvvPB63ksQKq8oDwAQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=738&page=1&tbnh=158&tbnw=211&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 yet another redesign.]
* [[Big Bad]]: Of Knuckles' story in Sonic & Knuckles. Robotnik is presumably elsewhere during that time, or Mecha is serving as his [[The Dragon|Dragon]].
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: In Sonic & Knuckles, he enlists the aid of an Eggrobo as his ally to trying to defeat Knuckles in his story. By the time Knuckles reaches Sky Sanctuary, Mecha accidentlyaccidentally kills the Eggrobo by air-dashing right into his eggpod, thinking he would hit the trapped Knuckles.
* [[The Cameo]]: Gets a cameo in ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', which has been the only place he's been seen in ''years.''
* [[Canon Name]]: For years, the distinction between him and Metal Sonic was in dispute, with the name "Mecha Sonic" being bandied about for both of them. Eventually, the name "Mecha Sonic" stuck for this one, and he's widely recognized as a separate entity from Metal.
Line 201 ⟶ 197:
* [[Nostalgia Level|Nostalgia Boss]]: In ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'', during the Sky Sanctuary Zone, he provides this for the first two bosses from the first two games, and then finally for his own previous incarnation at the end.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His [[Super Mode]] form in the end of Sonic & Knuckles, where he absorbs the power of the master emerald, granting him even faster speed, as well as a energy blast attack and the ability to launch dummy rings.
** [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: However, using the energy blast will eventually drain his power, leaving him vulnerable while he goes to the Master Emerald to recharge.
** The last phase of his fight provides a straighter example of this. After taking enough damage, Mecha Sonic returns to the Master Emerald one last time, but instead of continuing his assault as he's done previously, he simply floats around above you, periodically attacking with Dummy Rings. While he's able to continue on without stopping to recharge now, [[Phlebotinum Breakdown|he experiences frequent power failures where he reverts to his normal form and drops out the sky for a brief moment.]]
* [[Powered Armor]]: In the Archie comics, after defeating him, Sonic crawls inside him to control him as armor while fighting Robotnik, and uses him to escape the Death Egg.
Line 211 ⟶ 207:
* [[Super Speed]]: While his Sonic 2 (Genesis) encounter is sluggish, he is surprisingly fast in Sonic 2 (GG) and ups the ante in his Sonic 3 & Knuckles encounters.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: To Metal Sonic, though Sonic 2 and Sonic CD had overlapping development periods.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Considerably in Sonic 3. In Sonic 2, he was a clunky, sluggish drone that could be taken down in less than 10 seconds. In Sonic 3, he recievedreceived a considerable upgrade, getting a sleeker design, as well as super speed both on the ground and in-flight, a devastating air-dash move, the ability to slide backwards, and is much more durable, managing to survive his encounter with Sonic during the game, and later taking on Knuckles.
* [[The Voiceless]]: He has absoluteyabsolutely no vocal dialogue with other characters in the games. In fact, the most the audience ever gets out of him is his seemingly stunted thought processes in Rivals 2.
 
 
Line 227 ⟶ 223:
 
* [[Art Evolution]]: In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', Orbot had a white casing. ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' onwards, his casing was red to better contrast the yellow Cubot.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: The concept of robot buddies to work off a somewhat comically inept Eggman likely comes from at least [[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|two]] [[Sonic X|adaptations]].
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Orbot was ''very'' disrespectful to his master in ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', snarking on his inability to do things right, even having a different color. In ''[[Sonic Colors]]'', he's much more like a butler with much more subtle sarcasm, some guess that it may be due to having a new voice chip, or being a new Orbot altogether.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Cubot. Though his faulty voice chip doesn't help.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Orbot.
* [[The Ditz]]: Cubot.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Ergo" for Orbot, due to his constant use of the word in ''Unleashed''.
* [[Mecha-Mooks]]
* [[Harmless Villain|Harmless Villains]]
* [[Mecha-Mooks]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: '''Cubot''', {{spoiler|especially when he gets his old voice back.}}
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[Portmanteau]]: "Orbot" is one of "orb" and "robot", while "Cubot" is "cube" and "robot".
* [[Production Nickname]]: Orbot's was SA-55, a [[Letters 2 Numbers]] rendition of "[[Meaningful Name|sass]]".
* [[Remember the New Guy?|Remember The New Guys]]: Both of the robots started appearing without any fanfare, as if they've been around to witness Dr. Eggman's failures for a while.
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: Orbot.
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Orbot in spades.
* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: When not in use, they compress themselves into a sphere and a cube, respectively.

Robotnik's counterpart from the dimension Blaze is from.
Line 261 ⟶ 255:
* [[Badass Moustache]]: Like Eggman, he has this.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: Even cooler than Eggman's pince-nez, Eggman Nega sports a [[Gurren Lagann|Kamina-esque visor]].
* [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling Your Ancestor Out]]: Eggman Nega's primary motivation in Sonic Rivals is revenge against Dr. Eggman (who is his ancestor) because Eggman's various failures made him be looked down upon despite having high potential in terms of intellect.
* [[Cool Shades]]: Even cooler than Eggman's pince-nez, Eggman Nega sports a [[Gurren Lagann|Kamina-esque visor]].
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Probably. He has a gray moustachemustache.
* [[Evil Twin]]: Of Eggman, though he may [[Flip-Flop of God|also be his descendant]].
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: A reverse on the [[Affably Evil]] Eggman, Eggman Nega appears to be pleasant and well-mannered, but is a raving psychopath under the veneer of sophistication and class.
Line 290 ⟶ 284:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Gerald, unlike his grandson, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, was not this and used his inventions to help humanity. Even the Eclipse Cannon was to be used to stop Black Doom as revealed in [[Shadow the Hedgehog]]. Then Maria died and then he definitely became a [[Mad Scientist]].
** His experiments and {{spoiler|deal with Black Doom}}, allowed him to create both Shadow the Hedgehog and his prototype, the Biolizard.
* [[Misplaced Retribution]]: Wanting to destroy all humanity when only GUN was responsible for his granddaughter's death.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: But only after Maria's death and the related plan happens far after his death.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: However, his plan to {{spoiler|destroy the Earth by crashing the ARK into it}} keeps going on even fifty years after his death.

An alien being from the Black Comet who helped create Shadow and tries to enlist his help in conquering the Earth.
Line 322 ⟶ 316:
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: He does seem to care for the [[Mooks|Black Arms Soldiers]], if even only a tiny, ''tiny'' bit. Plus, he would ''much'' rather have Shadow be [[Overlord, Jr.|his loyal]] [[The Dragon|second in command]], rather than [[Offing the Offspring|have to kill him]].
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Dragon Ball|Son]] [[Sean Schemmel|Goku]]. Scared yet?
** In the Japanese version, he's [[One Piece|Crocodile]].
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Although Shadow's immunity to Black Doom's use of [[We Can Rule Together]]'s derivations are unknown, its heavily implied that the reason why Shadow was immune to Black Doom's gas is because he has Black Arms blood in him, more specifically the blood Black Doom gave to give birth to Shadow the Hedgehog.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Oh dear ''God'', yes. Though it's not Black Doom so much as the entire Black Arms race. And they don't seem to be content with just feasting on humans...
Line 332 ⟶ 324:
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His "Devil Doom" form. Looks something like [http://dreager1.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/devil_doom_by_hypercloudstrife.jpg this].
* [[Sorcerous Overlord]]
* [[To Serve Man|To Serve The Entire Planet]]: Black Doom's ultimate goal. And he would have pulled it off if Shadow didn't turn out to be immune to his nerve gas and [[We Can Rule Together]] antics.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: He pulls this a couple of times, though he's (arguably) really bad at it, and seems to honestly be surprised when Shadow says no.

The [[The Man Behind the Man|true villain]] of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'', and {{spoiler|half of the god of light, Solaris}}.
 
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Let's see, his plans essentially amount to the destruction of existence in itself, his hatred of Shadow is almost to the point of psychosis, and he also laughs exhileratedly at {{spoiler|Sonic's death}}? Seems to fit that to a T.
* [[Big Bad]]: In Sonic 2006
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The main difference between him and Shadow; initially, Mephiles's stripes are a gray-blue instead of Shadow's red.
* [[Complexity Addiction]]: His plans could be... a bit simpler.
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Just look at his name; Mephiles the ''[[Meaningful Name|Dark]]''.
Line 375 ⟶ 367:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: He fights usually when the opponent isn't looking, he even {{spoiler|murdered Sonic}} while his back was turned.
** A dose of [[Fridge Brilliance]], {{spoiler|considering he was the ''mind and will'' of Solaris while Iblis, his counter-part, was the ''raw power''.}} It'd stand to reason he's not powerful enough to take anyone on in a head-on fight without some additional support. In other words, he [[Know When to Fold'Em|knows his limitations.]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]:
* [[Evil Twin]]: To Shadow
* [[Expy]]: Of [[The Matrix|Agent Smith]].
* [[For the Evulz]]: The only suggestible reason that he wants to completely destroy space and time. {{spoiler|Beyond being pissed at some scientists experimenting at you.}}
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Played with: He's very intelligent, capable of teleportation, time travel, and energy manipulation. However, he has noticablenoticeable trouble taking physical punishment while fighting Shadow, although he was shown taking on and withstanding several shotgun/minigun blows from Omega when confronting him in a cutscene.

* {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer]]}}: {{spoiler|Currently the only villain in the series to successfully kill Sonic (although he does get [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|revived in the end]]).}}
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Heavily implied by the ending of the game (via [[Grandfather Paradox]]).
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Prior villains were either somewhat comical, or had some justifications behind their motives. Mephiles possessed none of these, and clearly enjoys causing destruction simply because he could, and was also the first major villain to canonically kill a major character (and in fact also killed Sonic), as well as succeeding in destroying the world as well as the fabric of existence, with the final act being to stop Mephiles' [[Fusion Dance]] god form and restore the timeline.
* [[Know When to Fold'Em]]: The implied reason why he often pulls [[Dirty Coward|dirty tactics]] on his opponents.
* [[Hellish Pupils]]
* {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer]]}}: {{spoiler|Currently the only villain in the series to successfully kill Sonic (although he does get [[Back From the Dead|revived in the end]]).}}
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: He taunts Omega about {{spoiler|his part in sealing away Shadow in the future}}, and he laughs {{spoiler|after murdering Sonic, and especially at Elise's sorrow and mental anguish at his death.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Probably the other reason a lot of people like him, what with being voiced by [[Dan Green]] and all...
Line 392 ⟶ 385:
* [[Literal Split Personality]]: Both Mephiles and Iblis. Mephiles being the conscious mind, and Iblis being the raw power.
* [[Living Shadow]]: Not only is he the [[Shadow Archetype]] to Shadow, but he's also born (well, reborn is more accurate) from Shadow's shadow. That's right, [[Department of Redundancy Department|Shadow's shadow became a Shadow]].
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Heavily implied by the ending of the game (via [[Grandfather Paradox]]).
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: This along with [[The Chessmaster]]. He manipulated seemingly everyone in the story over 210 years just so he could {{spoiler|force Elise to develop feelings towards Sonic, only to kill Sonic, thus freeing Iblis from inside Elise, allowing himself to merge with Iblis to become Solaris}}.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: He asks Shadow why he continues to fight and attempt to protect humanity when they'll only persecute him later on.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Overlaps with [[Meaningful Name]]. Mephiles = Mephistopheles, the demon from Faust, sometimes associated with Satan. Likewise, Iblis is the Islamic word for devil.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: He asks Shadow why he continues to fight and attempt to protect humanity when they'll only persecute him later on.
* [[No Mouth]]: His muzzle kind of inflates and deflates when he talks, though.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: And yet, the [[Plot Induced Stupidity|plot hands out]] a 10-ton [[Idiot Ball]] to Silver and Blaze, as they ''believe'' him.
Line 409 ⟶ 401:
* [[Smug Snake]]: He's both manipulative and a big planner, but his [[Complexity Addiction|lack of common sense]] makes him this.
* [[Time Travel]]: Seems to be one of his main abilities.
* {{spoiler|[[World's Strongest Man]]: As Solaris, he thus far the most powerful being in the series, capable of destroying reality and time itself as well as needing the combined efforts of ''three'' Super Hedgehogs to beat him. Even then, they only managed to beat him by [[Attack Its Weak Point|attacking his core repeatedly]], thus ending his consciousness.}}
 
 
== Dark Gaia ==
Line 420 ⟶ 412:
* [[Lovecraft Lite]]: Is a Lovecraftian [[Eldritch Abomination]] out to end the world, but Sonic [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|can still kick its ass]] {{spoiler|with assistance from Chip AKA Light Gaia, Dark Gaia's [[Good Counterpart]]}}.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Perfect Dark Gaia.
* [[Press X to Not Die]]: Makes the player do this [[Up to Eleven|60 times]] in its Perfect Dark Gaia form in the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]/360 versions of [[Sonic Unleashed]].
 
== Captain Whisker ==
Line 427 ⟶ 419:
 
A robot pirate from another dimension.
* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: [[Decade Dissonance|or possibly more]]
* [[Dual Boss]]: With Johnny.
* {{spoiler|[[Hijacked by Ganon|Hijacked By Eggman and Eggman Nega]]}}
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Heavily, ''heavily'' implied.
* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: [[Decade Dissonance|or possibly more]]
* [[Pirate Parrot]]: Mimi and Mum.
 
 
== Erazor Djinn ==
 
======= Voiced by [[Masashi Ebara]] (Japanese), Peter Cormican (English) =======
 
The evil genie of the lamp who wants to erase the Arabian Nights.
 
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Implied to be this or a [[Domestic Abuser]] to Shahra.
* [[A God Am I]]: In his [[One-Winged Angel]] mode.
* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]]: before his death in the lava}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''[[Sonic and The Secret Rings]]''
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: His transformation is actually incomplete. Because he got the wrong sacraficesacrifice, he wasn't able to absorb all seven World Rings.
* [[Cool Sword]]
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: Implied to be this or an [[Abusive Dad]] to Shahra.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: {{spoiler|Baked in lava}}
* [[A God Am I]]: In his [[One-Winged Angel]] mode.
* [[Go for the Eye]]: As Alf-Layla-wa-Layla.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Both. Erazor Djinn is a mix of 'Eraser' and 'Razor', as to how he's tearing apart the Arabian Nights. And again as Alf-Layla-wa-Layla, which translates as 'A thousand nights and one night'. He's calling himself [[A God Am I|The Arabian Nights]].
Line 502 ⟶ 493:
Fan-favorite floating doll from [[Sonic R]]. Well known for the curse.
 
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]] / [[Refrain From Assuming]]: Tails Doll is found in Radical City, therefore, his theme is "Living in The City", ''not'' "Can You Feel The Sunshine".
* [[Creepy Doll]]
* [[Evil Knockoff]]
Line 533 ⟶ 523:
* [[Big Bad]]: Of [[Sonic Generations]] {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|until it is revealed that]] [[Hijacked by Ganon|Dr. Robotnik and his past self are controlling it]].}}
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: It ''eats time and space''. Nuff said.
* [[Expy]]: Of Solaris. It's a giant purple abomination which can tear through time and space and just like Solaris is also able to eat them. Also, like Solaris it doesn't speak.
* [[Final Boss, New Dimension]]: Sonic and his past self fight the Time Eater {{spoiler|and both Robotniks}} in the Center of Time, where pieces of various stages featured throughout [[Sonic Generations]] float around.
* {{spoiler|[[Humongous Mecha]]}}:{{spoiler|Turned into this so Dr. Robotnik and his past self can control it to erase their past defeats at Sonic's hands.}}
* [[Reality Warper]]: Done through destroying time and space.
