That be like Batman but no Joker. Eggmans part of Sonic's history and shouldn't be discarded so easily.

Besides, isn't "Dr. Eggman being killed off for another villain" something that has happened both times in both Archie and StC comics? but Eggman is just a harmless goofball

I completely disagree. Just because he's got a comedic side, doesn't mean he's harmless. If you'd check his personality and history, you can well imagine the countless lives that he had thrown into chaos either indirectly with Chaos flooding Station Square or possibly directly in the intro of Unleashed. It's probably not mentioned a lot because Sonic is mainly a series for kids which means no non-straight relationships among other things. Besides, he's important to the franchise. Doesn't mean that I don't mind other villains like Ix, Metal Sonic, Fang the Sniper, and the Deadly Six popping out to cause trouble in their own manner. Just go with the flow. If you have any good ideas on how to present Eggman in even more heinous ways as long as they don't scare younger players, be our guest.
