I have a headcanon. On how Dr. Eggman came to be. Here goes: 50+ years ago, A young Ivo Robotnik idolized his grandfather and wanted to be like him when he grew up. Unfortunately, the government executed Gerald Robotnik. Enraged, he saw the corrupt government for what it really was. He invisoned a perfect society, an empire, a world where one benevolent ruler would make all the right decisions and no one like his grandfather would suffer. True genius would be recognized, rewarded. But who could be trusted with such a position? Only one person could fit his visage: himself. He inherits Robotnik Inc. and MeteoTech from Gerald, as Maria is dead and he is next of kin. He gets his doctorate, all the while steadily building his businesses until he can afford to manufacture his army. The only problem remaining being a power source. Naturally, he turns to Gerald's research. He sees the bio weapons that were Project Shadow and comes up with the concept of using organic creatures to power his robots. And he needed something to not only power his utopia, but to assure his place as ruler, and inspired by Gerald's research on Perfect Chaos and the Gizoids, he settles on using the Chaos Emeralds' power to assert his dominance. Lucky for our villain, there's an island to the south with an abundance of woodland creatures and Chaos Emeralds, and thus he begins his campaign.
