==Appearance== |
==Appearance== |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Dr. Eggman Nega's design is similar to Dr. Eggman's albeit with some notable differences; such as a longer nose, a white mustache (suggesting he is at an elderly age), pointy blue sunglasses, and visor-styled goggles. The color of Eggman Nega's clothing is reversed compared to Eggman's; Eggman Nega wears an open black military-styled jacket with long coattails, a yellow stripe on the upper arms, and big yellow cuffs with two points. Underneath the jacket, Eggman Nega wears a red jumpsuit with a metallic-looking vertical silver stripe going up the middle and black and yellow stripey boots. Eggman Nega's outfit is completed with a short yellow cape (similar to that of Dr. Eggman's original design), which has two long triangles which rest over the front of his body. |
||
| + | Eggman Nega bears a very strong resemblance to his ancestor, [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], so much in fact that others have mistaken them for each other.<ref name="FullName">[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (15 November 2005). [[Sonic Rush]]. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Water Palace]] (Sonic's version). "'''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': You won't escape this time, Eggman! / '''Eggman Nega''': ... ... ... Ha ha ha. / '''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': Hey, what's so funny? / '''Eggman Nega''': I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed, but you... You're so cruel... You taunt me by not using my full title. Ha ha ha. / '''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': What? Are you out of your mind, Eggman? / '''Eggman Nega''': Ha ha ha. There you go again. But in the end, you will be destroyed by... Dr. Eggman Nega!"</ref> Like Eggman, Eggman Nega is a rotund and burly [[human]], his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, peach skin, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs. Unlike Eggman, however, Eggman Nega's mustache is gray. |
||
| + | For attire, Eggman Nega wears a red jumpsuit with a metallic-looking vertical silver stripe going up the middle and black and yellow-striped boots with gray soles. He also wears a open black military-styled jacket over his jumpsuit. This jacket possesses long coattails, a yellow stripe on the upper arms, yellow triangular markings on the chest areas that extend over the shoulders and down the back, big yellow cuffs with two points, and two round gray buttons on the lower front. In addition, he wears white gloves with a square marking on the tops, pointy blue sunglasses, and visor-styled goggles with gray frames and a green lens. By comparison, the coloration of Eggman Nega's clothing appears to be a reversion of Eggman's. |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | ===Past=== |
||
| − | An inhabitant from the [[Silver's future|future]], Eggman Nega came from a long line of brilliant scientists, but that lineage was disrupted by Dr. Eggman's many failures throughout the years. As a result, the world refused to recognize his brilliance, denying him his destiny. |

||
| + | [[File:Eggman_Nega_with_a_card.png|thumb|right|Eggman Nega, from ''[[Sonic Rivals]]''.]] |
||
| − | In the ''Sonic Rush'' series, Eggman Nega is introduced as a counterpart of Dr. Eggman from another dimension. In both games, he came to Sonic's world where he sought the help from Dr. Eggman so they could together construct a multidimensional [[Eggmanland|Eggman Land]] upon Sonic's world and [[Blaze's world]]. Both times, however, their plans were foiled by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Blaze the Cat]]. |

However, Eggman Nega doesn't actually like Dr. Eggman!"</ref> Eggman Nega is a sinister, ruthless, power-hungry, violent, and cruel individual who seeks to dominate the world and those beyond if it is within his ability to do so. While they are similar in many regards from an outside point of however, Eggman Nega is hinted to be quite different from his ancestor on the inside.<ref name="SRush"/> |
||
| + | When facing his enemies, Eggman Nega usually remains calm and composed,<ref name="FullName"/> rarely allowing his temper to dominate his behavior. He is likewise cold and calculating, yet eerily polite in manner and speech,<ref name="SRush"/> the latter of which is quite different in comparison to the ruder, short-tempered, and loud mannerisms of Eggman's. Cold-hearted<ref name="SC"/> and lacking in empathy or concern for any living creature besides himself, Eggman Nega cares nothing for those his ambitions affect, to the point where he did not care about the devastation that awaited the [[Sol Dimension]] and its inhabitants when he caused its merging with [[Sonic's universe]].<ref name="TrueColors">[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (15 November 2005).

It seems Eggman has made a mistake. / '''[[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]]''': ... So you guided Eggman to our world. / '''Eggman Nega''': Ha ha ha. It's best to get someone else to do the dirty work. I've been waiting for him to return with the gems. I couldn't care less what happens to our world. / '''[[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]]''': ... I'll destroy you!"</ref> He likewise has a sadistic, unnerving sense of humor and enjoys mocking his victims, often taunting them with his polite mannerisms and with facts that are especially hurtful to those he mocks.<ref>[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (14 September 2007). ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Southern Island]]. "'''[[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]]''': It the scepter really is the "key" spoken of in these legends... ...then this "Power of the Stars," must be what he's really after!

| − | ===''Sonic Rivals'' series=== |
||
| − | ====''Sonic Rivals''==== |
||
| − | While Eggman himself is first thought to be the primary antagonist in ''Sonic Rivals'', the player soon finds out that Eggman Nega (spelled 'NEGA', with all-caps) has captured Eggman and is disguising himself as him. Using a [[Doctor Eggman Nega's camera|special camera]], he turns several objects and characters into cards, with the objective of turning the world into a card that he will be able to control. Nega's goal was to remove all of Eggman's failed attempts at success, thus altering their family history forever. During the somewhat ambiguous ending of the game, Nega is captured inside a card of his own by [[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]], yet it was never revealed how he freed himself from the card that he was imprisoned in for the sequel. |
||
| + | What sets Eggman Nega apart from his ancestor are his more monstrous and radical goals that threaten to destroy the world,<ref name="SC"/> making him much more dangerous than Dr. Eggman. Rather than just dominating the world(s) he seeks to conquer, Eggman Nega seems more interested in bringing down desolation and disorder upon them. In fact, his interest in conquest seems to stem from a desire to make the world his "plaything" so that he can bring an age of fear and chaos upon it.<ref name="Intentions"/> He even sought to release the [[Ifrit]] simply so that it could destroy the world<ref name="Goal">[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (13 November 2007). ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]''. [[PlayStation Portable]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Neon Palace Zone]] ([[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]'s version). "'''[[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]''': Look. Since you trusted me. I'll tell you what's going on. Eggman Nega wants to unleash the Ifrit upon this world to destroy it."</ref> and thinks that something like this would be "glorious."<ref name="Intentions"/> He also appears to be highly insane and completely lacking in common sense, even more so than Dr. Eggman himself,<ref name="Insane">[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (14 September 2007). ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Deep Core]]. "'''[[Doctor Eggman|Eggman]]''': Nooo! Curse you, Sonic! / '''Eggman Nega''': Haa ha ha ha ha!

Don't push that button...! / '''Eggman Nega''': Planet-Buster Laser, FIRE!"</ref> being perfectly willing to achieve any victory by any means, even at the cost of the world or his own existence, if his plans do not proceed as initially designed. For example, when his and Eggman's [[Egg Wizard]] was about lose to Sonic and [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]] in [[Deep Core]], Eggman Nega gleefully attempted to destroy his foes with an attack that could not only destroy Sonic and Blaze, but himself, Eggman, and the entire planet as well. Similarly, when it became clear to him that he could not change [[Silver's future|his time]] in his favor, he decided to destroy it instead.<ref name="Future">[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (24 November 2006). ''[[Sonic Rivals]]''. [[PlayStation Portable]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Meteor Base Zone]] ([[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]'s version). "'''Eggman Nega''': All I have to do is transfer the energy to the camera on my rocket, and I'll turn this whole planet into a card! / '''[[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]''': What!? That means my future would be destroyed as well! / '''Eggman Nega''': If I can't change the future, I'll simply destroy it! There's nobody who can stop me now! Farewell."</ref> That said, Eggman Nega is not entirely without concern for his own life, as he wanted to be saved from the [[Chaotic Inferno Zone]] when he got stuck there. |
||
| − | ====''Sonic Rivals 2''==== |
||
| − | In ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]'', Eggman Nega tries to power and awaken an inter-dimensional monster called the "[[Ifrit]]" to destroy the world by using the [[Chaos Emerald]]s and the [[Chao]] to do it after reading old files of [[Professor Gerald Robotnik]]. However, his plans were foiled once again and he is now stuck in the Ifrit's Dimension. |
||
| − | {{Expansion}} |
||
| + | Despite his obvious insanity, Eggman Nega is quite manipulative and cunning; Eggman himself has even admitted that Eggman Nega is very sneaky.<ref name="Notes">[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (13 November 2007). ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]''. [[PlayStation Portable]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Frontier Canyon Zone]] ([[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]]'s version). "'''[[Doctor Eggman|Eggman]]''': Sorry for being so cryptic Shadow, but Eggman Nega is very sneaky. He apparently got some old files from my late grandfather, Professor Gerald. Those writings tell of an interdimensional beast called the Ifrit, and Eggman Nega wants to release it! The key to opening the portal to the Ifrit's dimension is the seven Chaos Emeralds. You must stop him."</ref> Not only did he successfully use Dr. Eggman and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] to do his dirty work for him on separate occasions,<ref name="TrueColors"/><ref name="Client2">[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (13 November 2007).

But she said that she'd been hired by someone... / '''[[Doctor Eggman|Eggman]]''': What? Shadow, is that true? It must be Eggman Nega! He's the one who's using Rouge to gather the Emeralds!"</ref> but he also managed to overthrow Eggman [[Sonic Rivals|two]] [[Sonic Rivals 2|times]] and successfully pose as him without those who were not already aware of his identity noticing it. However, he can sometimes lose track of important details while making unnecessary speeches; when his [[Egg Salamander]] was about to be defeated, all Eggman Nega did was babble about how he made a small miscalculation and could still salvage his plan, not even noticing what was going on.<ref name="Babble">[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (15 November 2005). ''[[Sonic Rush]]''. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Exception]]. "'''Eggman Nega''': My incredibly profound plans... It was such a small miscalculation that I made. It shouldn't matter.

| − | [[File:Eggman_Nega_-_Winter_Games.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eggman Nega in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''.]] |
||
| − | In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Eggman Nega appears as a rival in the Festival Mode. He is faced in the Ski Cross event. |
||
| ⚫ | Alongside his villainous behavior, Eggman Nega is overconfident, arrogant, and sees himself as above the others with his intelligence. He does not even consider his actions being wrong and always blames either Sonic and his friends or even his own ancestor for creating the bad reputation of his family. To this end, he will get rid of any obstacle that distorts his evil reputation, including those he has inherited from his family. |
||
| − | In the DS version of the game, Eggman Nega appears in the Adventure Tours mode and is faced in the Nordic Combined and Skeleton events, in [[mariowiki:Frostown|Frostown]] and [[mariowiki:Polastraits|Polastraits]] respectively. He keeps [[Snow Spirits|Sparky]] in a cage in Frostown, and later does the same to [[Snow Spirits|Cuby]] in Polastraits. |
||
| + | Like his ancestor, Eggman Nega loves to gloat loudly, although his voice is distinctively thinner than his ancestor's. He is also distinguished by his signature laughter, "Hee hee hee", which compares to Dr. Eggman's more boisterous "Ho ho ho". |
||
| − | ====''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''==== |
||
| − | In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', Eggman Nega returns as a rival. He appears as an NPC in the London Party mode and must be spoken to by the player in order to be versed. In the first match he is faced in the Fencing event, but subsequent rematches pit him and the players in Dream Fencing events. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game, Eggman Nega appears as a rival in the 4x100m Relay event. Here, it is said he came back in time to make trouble, but was supposedly stopped by Sonic and Blaze for good. |
||
| + | Possessing scientific capabilities that are in no way inferior to [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]]'s,<ref name="SC"/> Eggman Nega possesses a high genius-level intellect. Over his career, he has orchestrated numerous plots and schemes for universal and/or interdimensional dominion and destruction, all of which only fail due to his overconfidence and interference from [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and his allies. He is a remarkable scientist and engineer, as evidenced by the armies of robots and other mechanical machines of mass-destruction he has designed and created. Eggman Nega is also an incredibly skilled pilot that can match his ancestor Dr. Eggman in piloting skills with various mechs. Additionally, it has been noted that he is rather sneaky; noticeably, he has been the only one who could infiltrate one of Eggman's heavily armed bases without being detected.<ref name="SonicComicNega"/> |

As all of the playable characters are about to claim the Legend Trophy, he ambushes them along with [[mariowiki:Dry Bowser|Dry Bowser]] and [[Rouge the Bat]].

| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | One of Eggman Nega's main foes is [[Blaze the Cat]], whom he has a hostile past with. Showing no fear of Blaze's fiery temperament, Eggman Nega enjoys talking down to Blaze and mocking her with his politeness and her failures or inadvertent assistances in his plans. Likewise, much to his amusement, Eggman Nega is easily able to make Blaze lose her composure when she is dealing with him.<ref name="TrueColors"/><ref name="Intentions">[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (14 September 2007). ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Deep Core]]. "'''Eggman Nega''': Haa ha ha ha! At last, it's mine! And it's all thanks to you, Blaze. / '''[[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]]''': What?! / '''Eggman Nega''': It was your royal family that kept the scepter nice and safe for all these generations. Now that they've served that purpose, though, I have no further need of them. It will take only a fraction of this power to wipe your kingdom off the map! Haahaha! / '''[[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]]''': (Rrrrgh!!) / '''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': Blaze! Stay calm! / '''Eggman Nega''': Now, the world shall be my plaything!

||
| − | While Eggman Nega is eerily polite in both manners and speech, he is just as ruthless and violent as Dr. Eggman himself; though he appears to be slightly more unstable, as he does not seem to care should the world perish if his plans to conquer it do not proceed as initially designed. Both scientists display an obvious lust for power, a sadistic, unnerving sense of humor, and an extreme disregard for all life, characteristics that enabled the villains to collaborate several times in the past before Nega's own power lust and ambition to alter his future overcame these partnerships. He appears to be insane, maybe even more than Dr. Eggman himself, trying to destroy the whole world along with himself on numerous occasions. He has also been described as very sneaky, even disguising himself as Dr. Eggman during the storylines of the ''Sonic Rivals'' series. Ironically, his downside, however, is that he can sometimes lose track of important details while making unnecessary speeches much like his ancestor Dr. Eggman. |

| + | When they are not collaborating, Eggman Nega is usually an enemy of Eggman. He most noticeably antagonized Eggman directly during the [[Onyx Island]] [[Sonic Rivals|incident]] by turning him into a card and taking over the [[Eggman Empire]] so that he could rewrite the reputation of his family in the [[Silver's future|future]]. Similarly, he later took over Eggman's [[Badnik]]s to trash Eggman's bases and have them aid him in his scheme to unleash the [[Ifrit]], showing that while Eggman Nega may be able to tolerate Eggman as an ally, he is not above abandoning the trust Eggman has in him in order to further his agendas. During each of these incidents, Eggman would work in opposition to Eggman Nega by seeking out or helping out those who sought to stop Eggman Nega. |
||
| − | ==Relationships== |
||
| − | ===[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]=== |
||
| − | In ''Sonic Rush'', Sonic chases and then defeats him at the end of the game. In the Rivals series, Sonic is unaware of the presence of Eggman Nega, as the revelation is not seen in his storyline. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | It is quite possible that Eggman Nega sees Sonic as a bigger threat than Blaze since he is the one who taught Blaze how to properly use the Sol Emeralds and has kept her inspired and calm during critical moments. Also, while he is able to frustrate Blaze as he chooses, he has difficulty doing the same to Sonic, who does the opposite on him. |
||
| + | Eggman Nega made himself known to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] during his first trip to Sonic's world. When they first met, Sonic mistook him for Eggman, but Eggman Nega politely brushed that off before promising to crush him, showing that despite new acquaintances, Eggman Nega saw no reason not to kill him. Although Sonic would subsequently defeat Eggman Nega time and time again, with the doctor promising that he would not forget it, he apparently saw Sonic as nothing more than a minor nuisance, as he would casually dismiss Sonic during their confrontation in [[Dead Line]].<ref>[[Sonic Team]], [[Dimps]] (15 November 2005). ''[[Sonic Rush]]''. [[Nintendo DS]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Dead Line]] ([[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s version). "'''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': We won't let you get away this time, Eggman Nega! / '''Eggman Nega''': Ha ha ha. I don't have time to chat with you right now..."</ref> However, he was surprised to see Sonic intervene after he and Eggman beat Blaze and took the Sol Emeralds' power, indicating that he had underestimated Sonic. Even so, during the [[Jeweled Scepter]] [[Sonic Rush Adventure|incident]], Eggman Nega would express no change in enmity towards Sonic, and instead just casually greet him when they saw each other again on [[Southern Island]], showing that even after coming to learn about the threat Sonic posed, he remained confident that he was inconsequential. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Silver the Hedgehog=== |
| + | [[Silver the Hedgehog]] is one of Eggman Nega's main foes from the [[Silver's future|future]]. Because Eggman Nega tends to go back in time to mess with the past, Silver, whose job is to safeguard the future by preserving the past, usually ends up on a collision course with him. Silver, in particular, seems to be perfectly aware of Eggman Nega's mannerisms and speech, which has allowed him to see through Eggman Nega's disguises more than once. This has led Eggman Nega to praise Silver for being very perceptive.<ref>[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (13 November 2007). ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]''. [[PlayStation Portable]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Blue Coast Zone]] ([[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]'s version). "'''Eggman Nega''': Hoh ho ho ho! Look at what we have here! I do love entertaining guests. / '''[[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]''': Eggman Nega! / '''[[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]]''': Eggman... Nega? / '''Eggman Nega''': Ah, Silver, very perceptive! Nothing gets by you, I see. Hee hee hee hee hee.."</ref> Regardless, Eggman Nega tends to believe in his arrogance that Silver's attempts to stop him are futile. |
||
| − | Eggman Nega's relationship with Dr. Eggman depends on the sub-series. The two worked together in ''[[Sonic Rush]]'' and ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''. This is possible because they both have the same goal of ruling the world. They work together again at the end of those games to try and defeat [[Burning Blaze]] and [[Super Sonic]], only to be defeated by the two in the end. In ''[[Sonic Rivals]]'', Eggman is turned into a card by Nega's hand. He is also revealed as Eggman's descendant in this game, rejected in the future due to his ancestor's constant failures and wants right this. Dr. Eggman later helps Shadow and Silver to stop Nega by flying them onto Nega's moon base. In ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]'', Dr. Eggman aids Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic in defeating Eggman Nega. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]] ''and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', Nega joins with Dr. Eggman again, and Bowser as well, and is entrusted with two of the five captured Snow Spirits and supervising one of the fog machines respectively. |
||
| + | During the [[Onyx Island]] [[Sonic Rivals|incident]], Silver followed Eggman Nega to the past to stop him from abusing his matter-converting [[Eggman Nega's camera|camera]], and during the [[Sonic Rivals 2|Ifrit incident]], Silver chased Eggman Nega to the past again to stop him from ruining their time with the [[Ifrit]]. He has admitted that he admires Silver's determination, but he nonetheless refuses to let the hedgehog interfere with his plans.<ref>[[Backbone Entertainment]], [[Sega Studio USA]] (24 November 2006). ''[[Sonic Rivals]]''. [[PlayStation Portable]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Death Yard Zone]] ([[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]'s version). "'''[[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]''': That's right! I came from the future to bring you back! I can't allow you to abuse the camera's power! / '''Eggman Nega''': I admire you determination, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to capture me!"</ref> |

| ⚫ | |||
| − | One of Eggman Nega's main foes is Blaze the Cat, who guards the Sol Emeralds. It is suggested that Eggman Nega is Blaze's answer to Sonic's Dr. Eggman. Much to his amusement, Blaze loses her composure easily with him, as shown at the end of ''Sonic Rush Adventure'' when Nega threatens to destroy her kingdom. Oddly enough, Blaze has only appeared as a card in the Rivals series. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Shadow the Hedgehog=== |
| + | [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] is another of Eggman Nega's foes. They first met each other during the [[Onyx Island]] [[Sonic Rivals|incident]], where Shadow, in his search for [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], mistook a disguised Eggman Nega for Eggman. Despite this mistake in identity, Eggman Nega quickly tried to use Shadow to have him slow down [[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]]. Although Eggman Nega would subsequently tried to destroy Shadow for interfering with his plans, when Shadow finally discovered Eggman Nega's true identity, Eggman Nega found another reason to dispose of him. Later, during the [[Ifrit]] [[Sonic Rivals 2|incident]], Eggman Nega found Shadow opposing him yet again, although he did not let Shadow's interference stop his plans. He even went as far as to try and trick Shadow with his Dr. Eggman disguise, unafraid of retribution from Shadow, who eventually discovered his ruse and sought to make him pay for deceiving him. |
||
| − | Silver is one of Eggman Nega's main foes. In ''Sonic Rivals'', it is revealed that the two are enemies and are from the same future. Silver is one of the few characters in the game that knows that Nega is actually disguising himself as Eggman. Silver battled Eggman Nega when the latter threatened to turn the world into a card, causing Nega's device malfunctioned, and the fiend himself was turned into a card. They clash again in ''Sonic Rivals 2''. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | According to Silver, he has been chasing Eggman Nega for a long time. |
||
| + | During the [[Onyx Island]] [[Sonic Rivals|incident]], Eggman Nega became an enemy of [[Rouge the Bat]] when she discovered his true identity underneath his disguise as [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] and tried reporting him to [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]]. However, Eggman Nega swiftly dealt with her by turning her into a card. Later, during the [[Ifrit]] [[Sonic Rivals 2|incident]], Eggman Nega made Rouge an unaware pawn in his scheme to release the [[Ifrit]] by tricking her into collecting the [[Chaos Emerald]]s that were needed for his scheme for him, namely by posing as an unspecified client who offered to pay her a reward. This shows that Eggman Nega is well aware of Rouge's greediness and weakness for valuable rewards. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Espio the Chameleon=== |
| + | When [[Espio the Chameleon]] was assigned to uncover the recent [[Chao]]-nappings, he encountered Eggman Nega. He and [[Silver the Hedgehog|Silver]] soon after joined forces to stop him. Eggman Nega did whatever he could afterward to stop the duo, but though he failed to stop them, he remained confident that Espio's efforts were in vain. However, Espio ended up proving Eggman Nega wrong by helping stop the [[Ifrit]] when he tried to release him. When he later got stuck in the [[Chaotic Inferno Zone]], Eggman Nega begged Espio and Silver to save him, but Espio answered back saying, "''You reap what you sow, Eggman Nega''," and left him trapped in that Zone. |
||
| − | Eggman Nega had a temporarily ally in [[Metal Sonic]]. Though, it is unexplained why Metal Sonic worked with Eggman Nega, but is possible that after Nega turns Eggman into a card, he reprogrammed Metal Sonic to work for him instead of Eggman. However, the alliance ended after ''Sonic Rivals''. In ''Sonic Rivals 2'', not only are Metal Sonic and Eggman Nega enemies, but Nega provides Metal Sonic with his own personal rival. Apparently upgrading Metal Sonic's design, Eggman Nega created Metal Sonic version 3.0. |

| − | Shadow is another of Nega's primary foes. Shadow learned of Nega's identity and plans in the first Rivals, and is quickly caught on to his disguise as Dr. Eggman in the sequel, where he displayed an enmity towards Eggman Nega. During Nega's second plan, Shadow worked alongside Metal Sonic to stop Eggman Nega from releasing the Ifrit and destroying the world. |

In ''Sonic Rivals 2'', Nega has some kind of connection with [[Rouge the Bat]], who he hired to find the Chaos Emeralds for him. However, Rouge was unaware of her client's identity and came to believe it was Dr. Eggman who had hired her. Her part in ''Sonic Rivals 2'' means that she was unwittingly working for and against Eggman Nega. Also despite finding out Nega was behind everything in the first Rivals game she doesn't in the second one. |

Nega did whatever he could to stop the duo, but all of his attempts failed. As he sent out Metal Sonic 3.0, Silver and Espio made progress defeating it after a long harsh battle in the Ifrit's lair. The team also recovered the lost [[Chao]] from him and as Nega was suddenly stuck under rubble inside the cave while the door was closing them in and asked for help but Espio answered back saying, "You reap what you sow, Eggman Nega.", leaving Nega trapped. Silver and Espio then escaped with no problem as the door closed. |

Also to mention, in the future, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rivals and Sonic 2006 they all know each other, but in Sonic Colors, they never met. / '''Takashi Iizuka''' (as translated by the Q&A board's translator): So everyone probably know this, but Silver and Eggman Nega are from the future, and Blaze is from an alternate dimension. But in 2006, basically what happens is that everyone had like amnesia.}}</ref><ref>[http://www.sonicstadium.org/2012/07/sonic-boom-live-blog/]</ref> This claim would be made official on Eggman Nega's [[Sonic Channel]] profile.<ref name="SC" /> Despite this, it seems that he has at least interacted with [[Blaze's world]] prior to the events of ''Sonic Rush'', as Blaze expresses familiarity with him. |
||
| − | **Still, this statement contradicts what Taylor Miller the producer of ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]'' originally stated before,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.smile.talktalk.net/ghz/interviews/rivals2/sonic%20rivals%202%20interview.pdf |title= GHZ Interviews: Taylor Miller-Producer Sonic Rivals 2 |date= 2008 |work=GHZ |accessdate=2 December 2016 |quote='''Interviewer''': In Sonic Rush, Eggman-Nega came from another dimension. However, in Sonic Rivals 1, he is said to come from the future. Is the Eggman-Nega from Rivals 1 the same character that appeared in Sonic Rush? If he is the same character, then why do Rivals and Rush portray him as coming from two different places? As you said in our previous interview, you let Sega handle the story for the game, but we thought Sega might have given you some information about this apparent contradiction between Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rush. / '''Taylor Miller''': I have included SEGA’s response: “Although there may have been some differences in the story setting for both Sonic Rivals 1 and Sonic Rush, Eggman- Nega is same character. He comes from another dimension, and the reference of time was to place the mystery of the cards in context with the story. We really hadn’t effectively changed where Eggman-Nega comes from, just added another dimension if you like to the overall storyline.”}}</ref> hinting that Sega retconned Eggman Nega's origins at some point after ''Sonic Rivals 2''. |
||
| − | *Curiously, in both ''Sonic Rivals'' games, Eggman Nega's true identity was never revealed in neither Sonic and Tails' or Knuckles and Rouge's stories, as they all thought that he was Dr. Eggman from the beginning to end. |
||
| − | **Even in [[Mystic Haunt Zone]] before fighting the [[Egg Phantom]], Sonic and Tails encounter Eggman Nega but they assume it was "Eggman" being possessed by a ghost. |
||
| − | ***Also when Nega tricked Shadow before the battle and he discovers him, he says his name in front of Knuckles. However, after the battle Knuckles still thought that he was Eggman and he didn't say anything about before the battle. This might occur because this happen in Shadow's and Silver's story, and in Knuckles story Shadow doesn't say Eggman Nega's name. |
||
| − | **However, in the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', upon identifying Eggman Nega during Story Mode, Tails points out that he is Eggman's descendant from the distant future. Tails also states, "He came back in time to make trouble, but I thought Sonic and Blaze stopped him for good...", implying that Eggman Nega is actually both a time and dimension traveler. |
||
| − | *Eggman Nega has a different pattern of speech to Eggman. In ''Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Frosty says Eggman doesn't talk the way Nega does. Nega also has a distinctive laugh ('hee hee hee' as opposed to Dr. Eggman's 'ho ho ho') which reveals his identity, as seen in ''Sonic Rivals 2'' before Zone 5 boss fight when Shadow sees past his disguise when he laughs. |
||
| − | *In ''Sonic Rush'', both Eggman Nega and Dr. Eggman used their machines to fight Sonic and Blaze in a boss battle. However Eggman Nega's machines, even though they're the same as Dr. Eggman's original machines, are different colors compared to Dr. Eggman's. |

- This article is about the video game character. For other uses, see Eggman Nega (disambiguation).
Eggman Nega[7] (エッグマンネガ[7][10] Egguman Nega?, real name unknown[7]), also known as simply Nega,[4][5] is a recurring antagonist that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a human scientist and a distant descendant[7][11] of Dr. Eggman from approximately two hundred years into the future, though he initially introduced himself as Eggman's counterpart from the Sol Dimension.[5]
A genius scientist whose skills are in no way inferior to Dr. Eggman, Eggman Nega seeks nothing more than the destruction of the world. Believing as well that Eggman's failures have ruined his reputation, Eggman Nega holds a deadly grudge against his ancestor.[7]
Appearance
Eggman Nega, from Sonic Rush.
Eggman Nega bears a very strong resemblance to his ancestor, Dr. Eggman, so much in fact that others have mistaken them for each other.[1] Like Eggman, Eggman Nega is a rotund and burly human, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, peach skin, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs. Unlike Eggman, however, Eggman Nega's mustache is gray.
For attire, Eggman Nega wears a red jumpsuit with a metallic-looking vertical silver stripe going up the middle and black and yellow-striped boots with gray soles. He also wears a open black military-styled jacket over his jumpsuit. This jacket possesses long coattails, a yellow stripe on the upper arms, yellow triangular markings on the chest areas that extend over the shoulders and down the back, big yellow cuffs with two points, and two round gray buttons on the lower front. In addition, he wears white gloves with a square marking on the tops, pointy blue sunglasses, and visor-styled goggles with gray frames and a green lens. By comparison, the coloration of Eggman Nega's clothing appears to be a reversion of Eggman's.
Personality
Eggman Nega, from Sonic Rivals.
Having inherited Dr. Eggman's scientific genius and his wicked sneakiness,[12] Eggman Nega is a sinister, ruthless, power-hungry, violent, and cruel individual who seeks to dominate the world and those beyond if it is within his ability to do so. While they are similar in many regards from an outside point of however, Eggman Nega is hinted to be quite different from his ancestor on the inside.[3]
When facing his enemies, Eggman Nega usually remains calm and composed,[1] rarely allowing his temper to dominate his behavior. He is likewise cold and calculating, yet eerily polite in manner and speech,[3] the latter of which is quite different in comparison to the ruder, short-tempered, and loud mannerisms of Eggman's. Cold-hearted[7] and lacking in empathy or concern for any living creature besides himself, Eggman Nega cares nothing for those his ambitions affect, to the point where he did not care about the devastation that awaited the Sol Dimension and its inhabitants when he caused its merging with Sonic's universe.[13] He likewise has a sadistic, unnerving sense of humor and enjoys mocking his victims, often taunting them with his polite mannerisms and with facts that are especially hurtful to those he mocks.[14]
What sets Eggman Nega apart from his ancestor are his more monstrous and radical goals that threaten to destroy the world,[7] making him much more dangerous than Dr. Eggman. Rather than just dominating the world(s) he seeks to conquer, Eggman Nega seems more interested in bringing down desolation and disorder upon them. In fact, his interest in conquest seems to stem from a desire to make the world his "plaything" so that he can bring an age of fear and chaos upon it.[15] He even sought to release the Ifrit simply so that it could destroy the world[16] and thinks that something like this would be "glorious."[15] He also appears to be highly insane and completely lacking in common sense, even more so than Dr. Eggman himself,[17] being perfectly willing to achieve any victory by any means, even at the cost of the world or his own existence, if his plans do not proceed as initially designed. For example, when his and Eggman's Egg Wizard was about lose to Sonic and Blaze in Deep Core, Eggman Nega gleefully attempted to destroy his foes with an attack that could not only destroy Sonic and Blaze, but himself, Eggman, and the entire planet as well. Similarly, when it became clear to him that he could not change his time in his favor, he decided to destroy it instead.[18] That said, Eggman Nega is not entirely without concern for his own life, as he wanted to be saved from the Chaotic Inferno Zone when he got stuck there.
Despite his obvious insanity, Eggman Nega is quite manipulative and cunning; Eggman himself has even admitted that Eggman Nega is very sneaky.[19] Not only did he successfully use Dr. Eggman and Rouge to do his dirty work for him on separate occasions,[13][20] but he also managed to overthrow Eggman two times and successfully pose as him without those who were not already aware of his identity noticing it. However, he can sometimes lose track of important details while making unnecessary speeches; when his Egg Salamander was about to be defeated, all Eggman Nega did was babble about how he made a small miscalculation and could still salvage his plan, not even noticing what was going on.[21]
Alongside his villainous behavior, Eggman Nega is overconfident, arrogant, and sees himself as above the others with his intelligence. He does not even consider his actions being wrong and always blames either Sonic and his friends or even his own ancestor for creating the bad reputation of his family. To this end, he will get rid of any obstacle that distorts his evil reputation, including those he has inherited from his family.
Like his ancestor, Eggman Nega loves to gloat loudly, although his voice is distinctively thinner than his ancestor's. He is also distinguished by his signature laughter, "Hee hee hee", which compares to Dr. Eggman's more boisterous "Ho ho ho".
Powers and abilities
Possessing scientific capabilities that are in no way inferior to Dr. Eggman's,[7] Eggman Nega possesses a high genius-level intellect. Over his career, he has orchestrated numerous plots and schemes for universal and/or interdimensional dominion and destruction, all of which only fail due to his overconfidence and interference from Sonic and his allies. He is a remarkable scientist and engineer, as evidenced by the armies of robots and other mechanical machines of mass-destruction he has designed and created. Eggman Nega is also an incredibly skilled pilot that can match his ancestor Dr. Eggman in piloting skills with various mechs. Additionally, it has been noted that he is rather sneaky; noticeably, he has been the only one who could infiltrate one of Eggman's heavily armed bases without being detected.[9]
Equipment
Eggman Nega teleporting, from Sonic Comic.
Eggman Nega has a handheld device which he can use to freely travel across time and dimensions.[9][11] He also has a jetpack which he can use to fly.[9]
Weaknesses
Eggman Nega's overconfidence often gets the better of him, leading to the downfall of his plans.[8]
Relationships
Blaze the Cat
One of Eggman Nega's main foes is Blaze the Cat, whom he has a hostile past with. Showing no fear of Blaze's fiery temperament, Eggman Nega enjoys talking down to Blaze and mocking her with his politeness and her failures or inadvertent assistances in his plans. Likewise, much to his amusement, Eggman Nega is easily able to make Blaze lose her composure when she is dealing with him.[13][15]
Dr. Eggman
Eggman Nega has a turbulent relationship with his ancestor, Dr. Eggman, which has varied over time. Due to Eggman's failures in the past having ruined his family's reputation, which has likewise come to deprive Eggman Nega of what he believes to be his destiny, the doctor has developed a dislike of Eggman and holds a grudge against him.[7][22] Eggman Nega himself sees Eggman as a "blockhead"[23] and has more than once used him and his likeness as pawns in his schemes.
Despite his dislike of Eggman, Eggman Nega is not above teaming up with him when they have common goals in mind which they will be able to achieve together. However, it is implied that it is usually Eggman Nega who seeks Eggman out in the first place when they begin a collaboration.[13][24] Nonetheless, the two always are always in nearly perfect synch when they work together and never argue over what they should do during their schemes, showing that they share a similar mindset. However, while the two seem to work as equals when collaborating, Eggman Nega has admitted that he is actually using Eggman for his own benefit, all without his ancestor catching on, like when he had Eggman steal the Sol Emeralds for him.[24] Also, while the two of them share a level of insanity, Eggman Nega's more radical tendencies tend to make Eggman freak out.[17]
When they are not collaborating, Eggman Nega is usually an enemy of Eggman. He most noticeably antagonized Eggman directly during the Onyx Island incident by turning him into a card and taking over the Eggman Empire so that he could rewrite the reputation of his family in the future. Similarly, he later took over Eggman's Badniks to trash Eggman's bases and have them aid him in his scheme to unleash the Ifrit, showing that while Eggman Nega may be able to tolerate Eggman as an ally, he is not above abandoning the trust Eggman has in him in order to further his agendas. During each of these incidents, Eggman would work in opposition to Eggman Nega by seeking out or helping out those who sought to stop Eggman Nega.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Eggman Nega made himself known to Sonic the Hedgehog during his first trip to Sonic's world. When they first met, Sonic mistook him for Eggman, but Eggman Nega politely brushed that off before promising to crush him, showing that despite new acquaintances, Eggman Nega saw no reason not to kill him. Although Sonic would subsequently defeat Eggman Nega time and time again, with the doctor promising that he would not forget it, he apparently saw Sonic as nothing more than a minor nuisance, as he would casually dismiss Sonic during their confrontation in Dead Line.[25] However, he was surprised to see Sonic intervene after he and Eggman beat Blaze and took the Sol Emeralds' power, indicating that he had underestimated Sonic. Even so, during the Jeweled Scepter incident, Eggman Nega would express no change in enmity towards Sonic, and instead just casually greet him when they saw each other again on Southern Island, showing that even after coming to learn about the threat Sonic posed, he remained confident that he was inconsequential.
Silver the Hedgehog
Silver the Hedgehog is one of Eggman Nega's main foes from the future. Because Eggman Nega tends to go back in time to mess with the past, Silver, whose job is to safeguard the future by preserving the past, usually ends up on a collision course with him. Silver, in particular, seems to be perfectly aware of Eggman Nega's mannerisms and speech, which has allowed him to see through Eggman Nega's disguises more than once. This has led Eggman Nega to praise Silver for being very perceptive.[26] Regardless, Eggman Nega tends to believe in his arrogance that Silver's attempts to stop him are futile.
During the Onyx Island incident, Silver followed Eggman Nega to the past to stop him from abusing his matter-converting camera, and during the Ifrit incident, Silver chased Eggman Nega to the past again to stop him from ruining their time with the Ifrit. He has admitted that he admires Silver's determination, but he nonetheless refuses to let the hedgehog interfere with his plans.[27]
Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog is another of Eggman Nega's foes. They first met each other during the Onyx Island incident, where Shadow, in his search for Dr. Eggman, mistook a disguised Eggman Nega for Eggman. Despite this mistake in identity, Eggman Nega quickly tried to use Shadow to have him slow down Silver. Although Eggman Nega would subsequently tried to destroy Shadow for interfering with his plans, when Shadow finally discovered Eggman Nega's true identity, Eggman Nega found another reason to dispose of him. Later, during the Ifrit incident, Eggman Nega found Shadow opposing him yet again, although he did not let Shadow's interference stop his plans. He even went as far as to try and trick Shadow with his Dr. Eggman disguise, unafraid of retribution from Shadow, who eventually discovered his ruse and sought to make him pay for deceiving him.
Rouge the Bat
During the Onyx Island incident, Eggman Nega became an enemy of Rouge the Bat when she discovered his true identity underneath his disguise as Dr. Eggman and tried reporting him to Shadow. However, Eggman Nega swiftly dealt with her by turning her into a card. Later, during the Ifrit incident, Eggman Nega made Rouge an unaware pawn in his scheme to release the Ifrit by tricking her into collecting the Chaos Emeralds that were needed for his scheme for him, namely by posing as an unspecified client who offered to pay her a reward. This shows that Eggman Nega is well aware of Rouge's greediness and weakness for valuable rewards.
Espio the Chameleon
When Espio the Chameleon was assigned to uncover the recent Chao-nappings, he encountered Eggman Nega. He and Silver soon after joined forces to stop him. Eggman Nega did whatever he could afterward to stop the duo, but though he failed to stop them, he remained confident that Espio's efforts were in vain. However, Espio ended up proving Eggman Nega wrong by helping stop the Ifrit when he tried to release him. When he later got stuck in the Chaotic Inferno Zone, Eggman Nega begged Espio and Silver to save him, but Espio answered back saying, "You reap what you sow, Eggman Nega," and left him trapped in that Zone.
