Is Eggman A Capable Mass Murderer In The Games?

Julian might've been scarier than Dr. Eggman, but that's all he had going for him. Personality wise, he wasn't that interesting and his character wasn't really that developed. We never found out why he wanted to roboticize everyone or why he desperately took over Mobotropolis. Had his backstory been explored more, we would've at least understood his motivation. Also, he was more of an angry dictator than a mad scientist. Heck, he stole the roboticizer from Uncle Chuck. If anything, his nephew Snively was the better villain.

The only cool thing about him was Jim Cummings' spine-chilling performance (seriously, it's downright terrifying). But other than that, his personality was very bland and generic, no different than a "Captain Planet" villain. Heck, give him a normal sounding voice and you get the Robotnik from "Sonic Underground" (who was a bit more interesting of a character).

Dr. Eggman, on the other hand, is like the Joker. He has more character and personality, managing to be both goofy and threatening at the same time. He's there just to spread chaos and cause destruction, making people fear his name. He's also much more creative; managing to manufacture badniks, egg pawns, the E-100 series, and an entire fleet of interstellar warships. Because of his insanity, Eggman's more interesting and entertaining and less generic than the typical Saturday-morning villain.

This is one of the reasons why I like the Fleetway portrayal of Robotnik the most. He had the goofy AoStH design combined with Eggman's genius and character and Julian's scariness and power. And unlike other incarnations, this Robotnik had a fully developed backstory. Had this Robotnik stuck around, I don't think anyone would be complaining.

Jim Cummings was phenomenal but as a child he scared the crap outta me

And Eggman said he was thinking about getting his teaching degree at the end of Generations.
