Dr. Ivo Robotnik better known by the alias Dr. Eggman is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a human and the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Why He Rocks
- He is one of the most famous villains in video game history.
- He is totally not what you not expect from a fat guy with a funny mustache.
- Eggman's many incarnations treat him in very different, from very threatening to very goofy.
- He is like the perfect antithesis to Sonic, it's the eternal battle between the blue, light-hearted, super-fast, super-powered and courageous hedgehog and the fat, nerdy-looking, slow moving, selfish, weak and sometimes even childish old guy in red.
- He makes every battle he has with his enemies count.
- He is an emperor, a dictator a stylish billionaire ruling with an iron fist over an entire nation made of nothing more than machines.
- Also, despite being fat, bald, mildly unattractive and with a despicable personality, he can be a gentleman, a wealthy philanthropist, a man who can be so captivating to the point of fooling others into doing whatever he wants.
- Most villains or anti-heroes are nothing but uninteresting, forgettable fellows who are usually never used in the series again.
- Robotnik keeps coming back, he is so desired and so important to the series that putting someone else in his place is nothing but a crime to the fanbase and it took a while for the creators to figure that out.
- He's been in more games than even the main character himself.
