Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)

"EGG-MAN! You know my name is Doctor Eggman!"

- Doctor Eggman, Sonic Boom

Doctor Eggman is an antagonist in the upcoming series, Sonic Boom. He is a human scientist who seeks to conquer the world and enslave the population, and plots evil schemes against Sonic the Hedgehog and his crew.

Concept and Creation
When developing the character designs, the designers went with a very formal, military-esque attire for Eggman to emphasize his vanity and concern for his own and his robots' appearances, which is an attribute more fitting for villains.

Appearance
Compared to his other continuity appearances, the doctor's outfit has been dramatically redesigned. He still wears a red jacket with yellow cuffs; two steel rings are seen on his right cuff connecting a small device. The jacket also has a yellow triangle which is attached to one of the jacket's buttons. Unlike his other counterparts which were more round on the upper body, his torso is more round at the top, like an upside-down egg. His mustache is also shorter than his other incarnations, but likewise smoother.

Personality
Eggman is a short-tempered, raucous and pompous evil genius, and has all the qualities of a classic villain. He looks, talks, and dresses like a bad guy and possess the psychotic belief of self entitlement of enslaving the world, the destruction of his enemies or both. Because of his constant desire to enslave the world, Dr. Eggman will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if that means teaming up with an enemy more powerful than he is. Despite his intelligence, however, Eggman is somewhat immature and hates when Sonic gets his name wrong and/or gives him nicknames.

Eggman has a extreme hunger for power, and desires attention, adulation, and a little respect. While things might not always work out for him initially, he is always working behind the scenes to get the upper hand and come out on top.

Orbot and Cubot
Orbot and Cubot are the closest things Dr. Eggman has to friends. While they are loyal to him, they are not perfect and they have a tendency to say things he does not want to hear.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Eggman is set to appear in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric as a secondary antagonist, since Lyric the Last Ancient is the principal antagonist of the game, and the two of them will have an uneasy partnership.

Archie Comics
It was revealed on July 16th 2014 that Archie Comics are set to publish a comic book series based on Sonic Boom which will feature Eggman as a frequent character.

Trivia

 * In an interview with Mike Pollock, it was revealed that Eggman is still shaped like an egg, albeit an upside down egg.
