Doctor Eggman (IDW)

Doctor Eggman is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. He is an evil human scientist and the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog. Dreaming of ruling the entire world, he constantly seeks to create his Eggman Empire and spread it across the globe, but his various plots for world domination are always thwarted by Sonic and his allies.

After his most recent scheme went awry, Eggman has lost his memory and taken up residence in an idyllic town under the new alias of "Mr. Tinker".

Appearance
Dr. Eggman is depicted as a human with a rotund and burly appearance, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs.

For attire, Eggman wears tinted, navy blue pince-nez glasses and green-lensed goggles as headwear and an elegant, red coat sporting two square metal buttons on both sides of the chest in gold. These buttons have white straps that run across the coat's sides to identical buttons on the back. The coat also has silver, zipper-like linings down the back, arms and front, yellow cuffs, and two extensions on the front that have large silver buttons. In addition, Eggman also wears white, cuff-less gloves on his hands and a pair of black pants with matching boots seemingly attached to them bearing circular plates on the both sides of the ankles and three square ones riding up the shin.

After losing his memory and gaining the new alias "Mr. Tinker", Eggman began to wear green overalls, a pink shirt, and pink and green slippers.

Past
For years, Dr. Eggman has been attempting to achieve world domination, only to be thwarted by Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies at every turn. Some of Eggman's plots have included trying to take ownership of the Chaos Emeralds (multiple times no less), attempting a plot involving the Death Egg, taking control of the Space Colony ARK and its world-shattering Eclipse Cannon, shattering the planet with the Chaos Energy Cannon, attempted a takeover of Planet Wisp, harnessing the power of a mysterious monster known as the Time Eater, and attempting a plot on the Lost Hex. Over the years, Eggman also has gone up against Sonic in different mechs, such as the Egg Viper, the Egg Emperor and the Egg Dragoon.

Recently, Dr. Eggman managed to defeat Sonic and lock him up, thus allowing his Eggman Empire to conquer the majority of Sonic's world. However, after six months of conquest, Eggman's empire began to fall apart after Sonic's friends freed him. Soon after, Sonic and the Resistance broke the Eggman Empire's control over the world. During this decisive battle, Eggman fought Sonic in the Death Egg Robot. After being defeated, Eggman simply disappeared.

Fallout
Approximately a month after disappearing, Eggman surfaced in a town where he, after observing a child cry over a broken wagon from the shadows, swore that he would soon it and "everything" else.

Personality
Eggman is an evil and megalomaniacal genius who is constantly planning to take over the world. Arrogant, raucous and narcissistic, he prefers to show up and claim responsibility whenever he is carrying out his villainous deeds and make himself known to his enemies after he comes back from a defeat; as put by Sonic, subtly is not Eggman's forte.

Powers and abilities
Eggman is a brilliant scientist and inventor with seemingly limitless mastery over technology. His remarkable skills as an engineer and programmer are best evidenced by the armies of robots and mechs he has created for his numerous schemes. He is also an incredibly skilled pilot: able to manipulate many different kinds of his own mechs, robots and vehicles in difficult battles with Sonic.
