Dr. Eggman
Dr. Ivo Robotnik, better known as Dr. Eggman, is the primary antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and the arch nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, much in the same manner as Bowser's conflict with Mario. He is a genius with an IQ of 300, and his goal is to dominate the world and build the Eggman Empire. Dr. Eggman, who is voiced by Mike Pollack, was actually the only Sonic character who's voice actor was not replaced in 2010.

Profile
Although the devious Dr. Eggman has great Skill-based abilities, he also is quite powerful. His huge, lumbering frame doesn't give the impression that he would be good at gymnastics, but believe it or not, he can handle the trampoline and vault quite well.

Trivia
- Dr. Eggman appears alongside Bowser and Zangief in the Disney film Wreck-It Ralph.
- Dr. Eggman's Japanese voice actor Chikao Otsuka also voices Wario in the Japanese commercials for Wario Land games.
- In the Sonic the Hedgehog series, namely the Sonic Riders spin-off titles, Eggman is a Power character, but is strangely made a Skill character in Mario & Sonic crossovers. This may be to keep each character type at an equal 5 characters per type.
- Although his profile in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games states he is quite powerful, Power is one of his lowest stats in the game.
