I became a doctor for the same four reasons everybody does: chicks, money, power, and chicks
Dr. Cox, Scrubs
Doctor, Doctor!
It's not easy being smart.
Julian Ivo Kintobor knows this. Picked on by his brother for being brainy rather than brawny, it's no wonder that he becomes a scientist, just to show his smug older brother who the real prodigy is. Under the brilliant scientist Doctor Nate Morgan, he'll show him. He'll become a figure everyone respects…
"Doctor Morgan, what's a power ring?"
"Doctor Morgan, is MC squared or cubed?"
"Doctor Morgan, how does this console work?"
"Doctor Morgan, I need help with-..."
And thus the first signs of madness occur.
Bad enough that he's surrounded by morons, but they all insist on seeing Nate Morgan instead of Ivo Kintobor. No-one asks him for help, no-one respects his genius, no-one gives him the credit he deserves. That's why it's so satisfying to set Morgan up for a fall, causing a power-overload and leaving his assistant in charge of his lab. Now, everyone will see the genius of Doctor Kintobor. And the Great War provides just the opportunity…
"Doctor Kintobor, we need weapons!"
"Oh help us Doctor Kintobor, we need defense against the mobian savages!"
"Oh Doctor Kintobor. I know you're obese, but your intelligence makes me want to lock my slimy, mucus covered lips with your own!"
See? Everything's perfect, even if being called Doctor Kintobor all the time goes get a bit annoying. But what's even more annoying is the day he reveals the Ultimate Annihilator…
"Oh Doctor Kintobor, how could you create such a terrible weapon?"
"Yes Doctor Kintobor, we did tell you to give us the means to win the war by any means necessary, but as you know, we're all hypocrites."
"Oh Doctor Kintobor, how could you use Overlanders as live test subjects? Yes, we're shelling Mobotropolis indiscriminately, but how could you sacrifice a few individuals compared to the hundreds of furries we've slaughtered?"
Doctor Kintobor has become akin to a madman. And no-one calls him anything else. Which suits him just fine really. He's so sick now of everyone calling "doctor doctor!" that he wonders how Nate Morgan was ever able to take it. And so, when he escapes from incarceration and flees Megapolis, he can take solace that he's his own man. His own scientist. And while he's rescued by some mobians, that doesn't seem so bad. Surely furies will treat him differently once he's gained their trust…
"Doctor Kintobor, what's a gun?"
"Doctor Kintobor, what does nuclear fusion mean?"
"Doctor Kintobor, you're a brilliant scientist, the best in Mobotropolis. That's why Sir Charles Hedgehog still has the position of science minister."
Unbelievable. Not only do mobians take after Overlanders in formality, but their stupidity is on a universal scale. They wouldn't know the difference between pi and pie even if eating the latter while studying the former. Well, he's had enough. He's his own man. He'll take control of Mobotropolis, Mobius and by rechristening himself as Doctor Robotnik, he'll never be called Doctor Kintobor again.
And it works. It actually works. He's free of "doctor doctor!" He's free of Overlanders bar Snively and mobians bar those of the roboticized kind. He's actually free from moronic questions, even if Snively is a complete idiot. But surely he can move past that and-…
"Doctor Robotnik, I need help with the roboticizer."
"Doctor Robotnik, the Freedom Fighters have struck again."
"Doctor Robotnik, the Combots need their AI adjusted."
And people wonder why Robotnik is so insane…
