Dr. Robotnik - Evil Genius, Emotional Damage

• Diagnosis: Narcissistic Personality Traits, Hyperfixation Disorder, Technological Overcompensation
   
• Personality Type: ENTP (“The Inventor”), fried by his own genius
   
• Defense Mechanisms:
   
• Overcompensation (“If Sonic’s faster, I’ll build a machine that outruns god.”)
   
• Projection (blames all setbacks on Sonic, rodents, or society)

• Intellectual Fragility: Needs constant validation of his brilliance. Fails? Builds a bigger machine. Gets outwitted? Blames rodents.
   
• Grandiosity Complex: He doesn’t just want recognition—he wants planetary rebranding.
   
• Control Fixation: His obsession with turning animals into robots reflects a desire to simplify and dominate what he doesn’t understand.
   
• Work-Life Imbalance: Hasn’t seen the sun since Sonic CD.

Therapist: “Why does it matter so much that you beat Sonic?”

Robotnik: “Because everyone loves him. And what do I get? Laughter. Mockery. A name based on my torso shape!”

Therapist: “Have you considered resolving your ego needs without mechanized warfare?”

Robotnik: “Have you ever considered being better at your job?”

Dr. Robotnik is a genius whose ego has outgrown his humanity. His war isn’t really against Sonic—it’s against his own fear of irrelevance. Underneath the armor, goggles, and mustache… is a very tired boy who once wanted to build something beautiful. But then he got called “Eggman.”
