BIOGRAPHY:
Whether you call him by his real name or Dr. Eggman, Ivo Robotnik is the one true villain of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He's best known as the mad inventor who threatens to take over the world with his increasingly dastardly creations. Thankfully Sonic and pals are there to stop him.

again. Not known to be a quitter.

Life Expectancy - 54 Years Old (1948 - 2002):
Between his stressful life, an unnatural fear of furry animals and a massive weight issue, Dr. Robotnik should already be dead. Thankfully this is a kid's game and the Eggman will never die. If this was the real world Pfizer would be camped outside of his fortress trying to sell him everything they have.
