Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Archie Comics version of Dr. Eggman was done up quite handily as a source of Nightmare Fuel when he first got started; in his debut, his Robotic Reveal was done by having acid melt off his artificial skin, showing the horrific metallized being underneath the bubbling flesh. Then, once his satellite explodes with him on it, we see him alive and well in his current body, having downloaded his consciousness into it, a trait that allowed for a lot of Family-Unfriendly Violence against him. Oh, and let's not forget that, before his Flanderization, he gained the ability to roboticize people by touch. An unkillable, inexhaustible robotic Mad Scientist with the power to turn you into one of his mindless robotic slaves with a mere pat on the back? Damn. Oh, and might I mention that, before he replaced Prime!Robotnik, he had successfully crushed the Freedom Fighters on his own planet and was ruling it, unopposed, and merely came to Prime!Mobius as a Self-Imposed Challenge?
