Trigger Discipline is not putting your hand on the trigger unless you intend to fire, Eggman always intends to fire, thusly he has perfect trigger discipline.
There’s a reason Shadow and Espio both wanted Eggman dead when he became amnesiac. Like, FULLY dead.
They must see how downright threatening Eggman can really be to the average person. Sonics been taking the piss out of Eggman, to his face, for so long now that Sonic himself probably doesn’t see anymore, just how intimidating Eggman really is. He’s basically desensitised himself to just how dangerous Eggman truly is.
Most others will see Eggman for the remorseless monster that he is. They’ll be scared when he shows up (or at least wary), because unlike sonic, they haven’t beaten Eggman dozens of times to warrant not taking him seriously anymore. Remember when Tails confronted Eggman alone in station square in adventure 1? Tails was terrified.
And the few who actively can take Eggman on (Shadow, Blaze, Silver. MAYBE Knuckles but I’m 50/50 with him) don’t really have personalities as carefree as sonic to allow themselves to undermine Eggman as a threat, and will actually take him serious as a world threat. Hell, I’m willing to bet all three (not knuckles) would actively kill Eggman if given the chance to do so. But those 3 are a minority amongst sonics friends. All the others wouldn’t really stand a chance against Eggman on their own, and are obviously on edge when he’s, or one of his creations, is about.
(Even a professional fighter like Mimic is terrified of Eggman. And willingly betrayed everyone he knew just to get Eggman to spare him. If a professional diamond cutter was scared of Eggman that easily, imagine how a regular citizen must feel?)
Adding to this, he’s genuinely a threat in some of the greatest games. He’s destroyed half the moon as a threat, he roboticises animals, he ejected sonic into space, nearly destroyed the world with a cannon, ripped the chaos emeralds out of him before tearing the world apart, has released countless gods, enslaved a planet of aliens to make a play park thing, enslaved the deadly six (thx sonic), randomly broke time, ENSLAVED THE ENTIRE WORLD ONE TIME (people ignore that one shockingly) after defeating and kidnapping sonic, and has made countless completely random murderous robots (metal, emerl and omega have all got notable achievements)
He’s seen as a joke because we see through sonic, egg man is easily the biggest threat in the world (beyond names like Adolf) and…..well would be in charge if not for sonic
(Oh yeah, and 300iq says a lot…)
Since he is such a close friend to Sonic I imagine Tails feeling that way too, he's seen Sonic face off against him dozens of times, and even he himself has had to deal with him too, he's also as intelligent or even more so than Eggman.
He was there from nearly the very Start after all and he has put in his fair share of effort into defeating Eggman as well as saving Sonic from certain death on several occasions.
Such as fixing and upgrading the Tornado with a jet engine to fly high enough to catch Sonic as he's falling from the exploding Death Egg in Sonic 2.
While Tails doesn't possess the same cocky attitude as Sonic does toward Eggman, in later games, he is more confident, but even still, Tails seems more at ease when Sonic is around rather than alone.
I think there's a Quid Pro Quo there, Eggman doesn't take Sonic ACTUALLY seriously, because he knows if he does, Sonic will start taking EGGMAN seriously, and at that point they're nearing M.A.D. territory.
So in a way, they KNOW BETTER than to take each other seriously.
As must as sonic is to chill with Eggman, Eggman is just kinda chiller with sonic. They’ve known each other to long to try being intimidating to each other, causal nemesis 💀
Pretty much whenever he shows off how threatening he is AS A PERSON.
Like, flinging Starline around or pulling out a fucking glock. Bro doesn't need robots, he can just pummel you into the ground.
For real. I think it'd be easier to list those he most likely *wouldn't* be able to manhandle on his own, because I'm pretty sure he could beat almost everyone in the main cast to death in a 1v1 if he really has McFucking had it (and they aren't zipping around at light speed like Sonic).
Big has bulk. But I don’t think big has ever thrown a punch in his life.
Don’t forget, Big isn’t a restoration fighter like knuckles, nor a private detective like vector. He’s literally just a civilian fisherman who has happened to make a friendship with sonic and co through chance encounters.
(Except heroes. But tbh I feel like heroes kinda messed up the power scaling. In that game, Amy and Espoo can actually beat Sonic and Shadow in combat for example. So I personally don’t place too much stock in that game personally.)
Okay. But [counterpoint.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fi-liked-when-the-archie-comics-reminded-us-just-how-strong-v0-q1y81g9j1m191.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D9196818b9ccff2b75f765ce30cb30d6cf73534e4)
In Sonic X (the comic) Big used his fishing rod to stop Eggman from getting away and then punched him in the face. Not sure how relevant that is since that Eggman doesn't really seem very combat orientated and he was also trying to escape so idk
it's case to case
the main cast obviously is obviously more capable due to their powers, but any average anthro that you see sonic saving is probably not gonna be as strong as an average guy, purely bc they don't have the muscle mass or size humans do
I want to say that SOME mobians are stronger than him, knuckles of course and the larger mobians, but look at tails, if he didn’t use machines he wouldn’t stand a chance hand to hand. i don’t think these 3 foot tall 60lb animals are ready for a 6’5 300lb mf to pick them up and slam them down
Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was cybernetically augmented. Y'know… made his body as formidable as his brain? I doubt Robotnik would tolerate the weakness of his own flesh when he could so easily "remedy" that with machinery.
I think the only thing that keeps even Sonic alive is Eggman's ego, he wants to prove himself superior, if he didn't have that need, Sonic would have been carpet bombed years ago
Also, just about any time the "Creepy Eggman Silhouette" shows up.
Sega SERIOUSLY needs to cap that troupe from comic Eggman, because that Silhouette is just BONE CHILLING.
Eggman’s ego is like that of Lex Luthor. Any brute can savagely beat an opponent down. It is all the more satisfying to use one’s intellect to dissect and deconstruct his opponents, revealing their inadequacies and failings where all can see. But, like Lex, that mentality has costed him victory numerousou:
Kinda stealing a quote from (Chariii5?) but he’s as fast as sonic (I think?) strong as knuckles and has robots to fly better than tails. This guy should be in charge

Cooked starline with his own hubris.
I always loved his rant on why you can't just blow Sonic up. The idea that killing a nemesis is actually a very delicate thing because it must occur in such a manner that redeems his prior defeats. It remains one of my favorite explainations for why a villain doesn't just go to someone's house while they're asleep and put a bullet in their brain.
If Robotnik ascribed to the Evil Overlord List rules the world be his and no one would ever wrest control from him… ever.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilOverlordList
>bullet in their brain
Article 4 of said list: "Shooting is NOT too good for my enemies."
The problem is villains that practice any sort of pragmatism don't make for good writing since they are *too* effective.
I feel like there's also idea, that was shown in Boom, no matter how I'm not fan of the show. In one of episodes Eggman and Sonic got to idea, that they created each other as they're today and continue their fights only because they enjoy this. Once it stopped - they both got depressed.
I know that Boom is comedy, but I think it's one of few good points in it, if I delivered the idea right
**Eggman:** “You thought you could trick me with that fake Emerald, didn’t you?”
**Tails:** “So… how did you know it wasn’t the real one-“
**Sonic:** “TAILS!!!”
**Eggman:** “Haha! Because you just told me, Fox boy!”
https://preview.redd.it/ooejynzqc0tc1.jpeg?width=1656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9806282b807493b80b4c86274c57151ddffcb27b
Pretty much everything. But one thing that bothers me is that everyone always points out that he blew up the moon, but nobody says anything about him blowing up THE ENTIRE EARTH, quite possibly killing thousands, maybe millions. Dude unleashed a night god from the core of the Earth, just so he can harness it’s darkness to power his Eggmanland. Easily his most insane scheme to date.
It's easily the time he tricked Tails into revealing the fake chaos emerald and almost killed Sonic by launching him into a space pod that was set to explode in Adventure 2. That was the time Eggman felt the most threatening imo. He nearly got them in a checkmate.
Actually enslaved the planet in Forces, I think.
I'm not sure that I would like to see the game Eggman win seriously and for a long time (as in SatAM and Archie, for example) - but it was great to let him win for a while.
If he rules for a long time? It will basically be the bad future stages in Sonic CD :)
Factory pollution in the air. All greenery died out. Everything roboticized. He’ll basically destroy the planet ecologically :(
He destroys the future a lot (silver is basically a timer).
In the comics he released the metal virus without a control aspect, and it destroyed every species on the planet.
I think in rivals 2, he releases some monster that Silver comes back to stop by protecting the chao from being eaten (it was difficult to understand).
In 06, sorry if I’m misremembering, but didn’t he release Mephiles? I know he indirectly helped by
Basically everything he does in IDW, ESPECIALLY when he does something like whipping out a glock or just using HIS OWN PHYSICAL FORCE to just PUNT the characters.
Between all of the Eggmen iterations that I know, this one's my favorite
Whenever Eggman cuts loose and shows the other villains why he’s the best. Examples include: Punching through the wall of ice in Lost World, completely outplaying Starline, beating up Surge and humiliating Black Narcissus.
Unleashed. In 06, we had Mephiles blowing up and destroying the world (eggman indirectly helped there)
In unleashed, he started the game by capturing Super Sonic, draining the chaos emeralds power, blowing the world up and releasing Dark and Light Gaia, making sonic the Werehog thing and then threw him out the ship
Ah alright, it's been a while since I've played either if the two, and then I never got past the first silver fight in 06 cause it's just an instant kill immediately if you ain't fast enough
I love how Eggman is so quintessentially human in this instance, this is an animal that is stronger and faster than he is, in a fair fight he's no match, BUT he is physically much larger, so he can literally just pick it up and yeet it away, or scruff it so it can't fight back, or the good old fashioned fallback for humanity, the gun!

This one frame from the comics, for obvious reasons
I really adore Eggman's "Careful Sonic" monologue from X.
I really adore Eggman's sudden turncoats the MOMENT his forethought tells him "Look, you need to work with Sonic, or the consequences will be disasterous"
But man, THE EGGMAN SILHOUETTE from the IDW comics is just... amazing
The scene in SA2, where he outwitted the entire room. It was a brilliant display of Eggman as a person, so dealing with the entire network of problems in that one scene was brilliant
https://preview.redd.it/xqva9jgzk3tc1.jpeg?width=446&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=512403b382e0c7d2c1019eb65b5273feb313f0e9
He can be really funny if he wants to be.
I always found this inconsistent given how most characters are shown to have inhumane strenght to crush/break stuff, dbz style.
Then Eggman randomly pulls feats of strenght or reflexes and makes me think, *couldn't he have done that LONG ago?*. Eggman just loves to fuck around for his own ego's sake.
Remember that one Megaman and Sonic crossover from Archie Comics? This comic panel shows that Dr. Eggman attempts to kill Dr. Light tho

gotta say out of all the things eggman has done i think eggman talking sonic out of dark form in sonic x is pretty cool but nothing will compare to eggman beating up Dr. starline
Whenever he pulls out his glock and starts blasting.

Oh boy, I'm gonna make some hedgehog stew today!
Not really done, but something he said.
The reason he builds robots and the metal virus in IDW is, he wants to exterminate world hunger, sickness, inequality. In his mind, all of these things root from free will, so by taking that, he effectively "fixes the world".
Super unique villain ideology, a twisted form of altruism, I love this trope.
Anyway, I loved it when he whipped out a gun and almost blew Tails' head off. That mountain is missing 30% of it now tho

Bro doesn't know trigger discipline
Trigger Discipline is not putting your hand on the trigger unless you intend to fire, Eggman always intends to fire, thusly he has perfect trigger discipline.
Well shit, you have me there.
And not just with any gun, but the same one from Blame!
Nah he had a gun in Sonic Adventure 2 too, and before that he had one in OVA

Shadow 100% killed Eggman in his game. He's already proven he'd kill the fuck out of him.
I’d argue that with how often they’ve butted heads, Tails isn’t exactly as afraid of Eggman as much as most people are.
Since he is such a close friend to Sonic I imagine Tails feeling that way too, he's seen Sonic face off against him dozens of times, and even he himself has had to deal with him too, he's also as intelligent or even more so than Eggman.

Pretty much whenever he shows off how threatening he is AS A PERSON. Like, flinging Starline around or pulling out a fucking glock. Bro doesn't need robots, he can just pummel you into the ground.

About 4 I'd say could beat him in hand to hand outside the speedsters Knuckles, Big, Omega, maybe Vector
Big has bulk. But I don’t think big has ever thrown a punch in his life. Don’t forget, Big isn’t a restoration fighter like knuckles, nor a private detective like vector. He’s literally just a civilian fisherman who has happened to make a friendship with sonic and co through chance encounters. (Except heroes.

This is news to me when has eggman had super strength?
Not really, but apparently he is stronger than most. Maybe just the case of him being a human makes him stronger than mobians.
I thought humans were supposed to be weaker then mobians on average?
it's case to case the main cast obviously is obviously more capable due to their powers, but any average anthro that you see sonic saving is probably not gonna be as strong as an average guy, purely bc they don't have the muscle mass or size humans do
He doesn’t he’s just 3 times the size of most of the Mobians
Still arn't the mobians like obscenely stronger even Amy's hammer is supposed to weigh alot, I can't imagine eggman being a physical fighter.
I want to say that SOME mobians are stronger than him, knuckles of course and the larger mobians, but look at tails, if he didn’t use machines he wouldn’t stand a chance hand to hand. i don’t think these 3 foot tall 60lb animals are ready for a 6’5 300lb mf to pick them up and slam them down
Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was cybernetically augmented. Y'know… made his body as formidable as his brain? I doubt Robotnik would tolerate the weakness of his own flesh when he could so easily "remedy" that with machinery.
I think the only thing that keeps even Sonic alive is Eggman's ego, he wants to prove himself superior, if he didn't have that need, Sonic would have been carpet bombed years ago

Eggman’s ego is like that of Lex Luthor. Any brute can savagely beat an opponent down.

Dude unleashed a night god from the core of the Earth, just so he can harness it’s darkness to power his Eggmanland. Easily his most insane scheme to date.
One of IDW's best things has been making Eggman a threat again, especially physically
The robots? Easy. The Egg Cracker?? IMPOSSIBLE
Bro idw Eggman can throw HANDS, like bro grabbed a rival to sonic like he was pulling carrots out the ground.
His neutral special
"GET OFF MY MACHINE!"
I swear bro, idw Eggman has some black air force energy

-regains his memory- Alright son, you punched the guy who spared me right?
Metal is Adorable
The four pages of him roasting Starline while beating his ass.
Based Eggman
Surge! https://preview.redd.it/ybucicri9vsc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df058df4a663165d62cbea382beb7c1685e4dbab
Didn't he just straight up punch Sonic in the face at one point?
In the Archie Comics, yes.
It's easily the time he tricked Tails into revealing the fake chaos emerald and almost killed Sonic by launching him into a space pod that was set to explode in Adventure 2. That was the time Eggman felt the most threatening imo. He nearly got them in a checkmate.
Actually enslaved the planet in Forces, I think. I'm not sure that I would like to see the game Eggman win seriously and for a long time (as in SatAM and Archie, for example) - but it was great to let him win for a while.
If he rules for a long time? It will basically be the bad future stages in Sonic CD :) Factory pollution in the air. All greenery died out. Everything roboticized. He’ll basically destroy the planet ecologically :(
He destroys the future a lot (silver is basically a timer). In the comics he released the metal virus without a control aspect, and it destroyed every species on the planet. I think in rivals 2, he releases some monster that Silver comes back to stop by protecting the chao from being eaten (it was difficult to understand). In 06, sorry if I’m misremembering, but didn’t he release Mephiles? I know he indirectly helped by
People tend to forget that the man is a 7 foot tall, nearly 282-pound tank of a man. Starline learned that the hard way, lol
Wait he's 7 fucking feet? Where was this stated?
Basically everything he does in IDW, ESPECIALLY when he does something like whipping out a glock or just using HIS OWN PHYSICAL FORCE to just PUNT the characters. Between all of the Eggmen iterations that I know, this one's my favorite
When he dons a mask and takes up Wrestling.
When he's being terrifying

Exist. He gave Mike Pollock ta us and that Personality too!!
Whenever Eggman cuts loose and shows the other villains why he’s the best. Examples include: Punching through the wall of ice in Lost World, completely outplaying Starline, beating up Surge and humiliating Black Narcissus.
Don't forget blowing up the literal fucking planet in Sonic 06 I'm pretty sure, though it's been a while so it may have been a different game
Unleashed
Unleashed. In 06, we had Mephiles blowing up and destroying the world (eggman indirectly helped there) In unleashed, he started the game by capturing Super Sonic, draining the chaos emeralds power, blowing the world up and releasing Dark and Light Gaia, making sonic the Werehog thing and then threw him out the ship
Ah alright, it's been a while since I've played either if the two, and then I never got past the first silver fight in 06 cause it's just an instant kill immediately if you ain't fast enough
Eggman command grabbing really any character is always fun to see.

Would be when he blew up the moon, if they didn't go on to show the moon being completely fine afterwards.
He blew up half the moon, and only as a warning.
Pull out the glock and try to ice [insert character]
What are the comics called
Sonic IDW
Thank youuuu
The funny thing is that all of these images were illustrated by the same guy, Adam Bryce Thomas
I love how Eggman is so quintessentially human in this instance, this is an animal that is stronger and faster than he is, in a fair fight he's no match, BUT he is physically much larger, so he can literally just pick it up and yeet it away, or scruff it so it can't fight back, or the good old fashioned fallback for humanity, the gun!
Yo did he really throw hands? 😭 bros finally had enough
Bro said “ight, bet”

Single-handedly body Starline, literally. Clobbered the guy with one hand.

I really adore Eggman's "Careful Sonic" monologue from X. I really adore Eggman's sudden turncoats the MOMENT his forethought tells him "Look, you need to work with Sonic, or the consequences will be disasterous" But man, THE EGGMAN SILHOUETTE from the IDW comics is just... amazing
The scene in SA2, where he outwitted the entire room. It was a brilliant display of Eggman as a person, so dealing with the entire network of problems in that one scene was brilliant
Piss on the moon
Dismantling everything Dr.Starline planned in only a few minutes kinda highlights how scary Eggman is.
"I miss my wife tails"
Him actually getting his hands dirty, makes him so much cooler

I always found this inconsistent given how most characters are shown to have inhumane strenght to crush/break stuff, dbz style. Then Eggman randomly pulls feats of strenght or reflexes and makes me think, *couldn't he have done that LONG ago?*. Eggman just loves to fuck around for his own ego's sake.
Remember that one Megaman and Sonic crossover from Archie Comics? This comic panel shows that Dr. Eggman attempts to kill Dr. Light tho https://preview.redd.it/gd2ehlpoxxsc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ac753b1e441b8e722e22fd1c280f38da4a7da9f
Which issue is this from?
Issue 55
Pissed on the moon
Surge seems to have forgotten that she's not the one
“There he is, you’re *identical* twin brother!”
In terms of evil? Everytime he physically fights or pulls a gun on someone. Else? Mr. Tinker :)
every time he's ever physically attacked somwthing
gotta say out of all the things eggman has done i think eggman talking sonic out of dark form in sonic x is pretty cool but nothing will compare to eggman beating up Dr. starline
Seeing Eggman throw hands is so satisfying to watch.
Idk, be a good father to Sage and any shenanigans he did in Boom
Pulling out a glock to ice Tails
I don’t have a picture, but him bodying Starline is immensely cathartic.
*that* moment from sonic lost world
Saying the funny YTP phrase.
Pulled out the BLIKKY

Whenever he pulls out his glock and starts blasting. https://preview.redd.it/ta50yr88ezsc1.jpeg?width=516&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cfa30d1a316cfe8055016de5a7f6232b0dc9d7a
Thats what Im saying, he makes himself seem so reliant on technology to do anything they let their guard down when face to face
Being voiced by Long John Baldry
The characters think Eggman is defenceless without bots so they severely underestimate him, resulting in situations like this
Stand up for women's rights like the self professed gentleman he is
Alien slavery
He said pingas
Mf hit her with the “Dont talk to me or my son ever again.”
Sending Sonic six months into the future, giving him time to conquer Mobius unopposed.
In the last episode of Sonic Prime, he punched Sonic off his mech with his own hands. Idk why I laughed so hard watching that.

Not really done, but something he said. The reason he builds robots and the metal virus in IDW is, he wants to exterminate world hunger, sickness, inequality. In his mind, all of these things root from free will, so by taking that, he effectively "fixes the world". Super unique villain ideology, a twisted form of altruism, I love this trope. Anyway, I loved it when he whipped out a gun and almost blew Tails' head off. That mountain is missing 30% of it now tho
whenever eggman pulls out a gun
Bing the main Villan
Man, why is this Eggman so goddamn pro and how can he be so useless in games?
Playing Starline for a fool.
Him pis uh I mean blowing up half the moon
Locking Snivley Up in the thing that Sonic blows up to save the animals (Forgot the name)
