And among the few original things I find worth seeing, is the story behind the Great War and Eggman's rise to power. Although it doesn't go into full detail why he went evil, it, next to his origin in Sonic the Comic, is perhaps the most detailed story about his past. Aside from that, I don't see much. Mostly because it's been too corroded by game stories. Making it too extensive. Not that erasing the Nocturnos out of the picture is a good idea. If that is their intention, now. And am I the only one who isn't impressed that Knuckles is in a romance with a girl from the same family tree. Also, on Facebook, I made a comment about the comparison between Eggman and Palpatine in Star Wars: Darth Plagueis.

"I haven't rejected the dynasty I was born into. I've rejected the name I was given."

I figured that was what Eggman did twice. He wanted to be remembered as the best of the Robotnik family and the House of Ivo. He referred to himself as a doctor to remind people he earned his position though his evil intellect. And he calls himself Eggman, now, because he wants the old teased nickname to strike fear. Although I also reminded the people behind the comic's page on Facebook that he was called lord by Mecha Sonic once. My elder sister liked that comment as well.
