Doctor Eggman Nega (ドクター・エッグマン, Dokutā Egguman Negau?) (see naming variations), is a video game character of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a human scientist and he is Doctor Eggman's decendant from 200 years in the future. Just like his ancestor he stands at 185 cm (6 feet) tall and weighs in at 128 kg (282 lb). His character designer is Naoto Ōshima.
Eggman Nega is one of the main villains in Sonic Rush. He is introduced as Doctor Eggman's dimensional counterpart from another dimension, and the primary nemesis of Blaze the Cat, a character from his world. He is more cruel and calculating than the Eggman from Sonic's time zone, and has sent Blaze's world into ruin, which is why she sets out for the Sol Emeralds. He is eerily polite for such a cold and calculating man. His downside, however, is that he can sometimes lose track of important details while making unnecessary speeches. His design appears reminiscent to the older Eggman from the Genesis Sonic games, albeit with the colors reversed.
While Eggman himself is first thought to be the primary antagonist in Sonic Rivals, the player soon finds out that Eggman Nega has captured Eggman and is disguising himself as him. Sonic Rivals also reveals that Eggman Nega is from around 200 years in the future and that he is Eggman's descendent. Using a special camera, he turns several objects and characters into cards, with the objective of turning the world into a card that he will be able to control. During the somewhat ambiguous ending of the game, Nega is captured inside a card of his own by Silver, yet it was never revealed how he returned to the past.
In Sonic Rush Adventure, the story says that Eggman Nega is once again Eggman's dimensional counterpart. Additionally, he works alongside Dr. Eggman as his ally, as he did in the original Sonic Rush game- Eggman and Eggman Nega are not seen until the end of the game, as Eggman's pirate robot Captain Whisker is the assumed villain for most of the plot. It is also revealed that Nega is even more insane and evil than the original Eggman. When defeated at the end of the game, Eggman decided to retreat, however, Nega had a different idea and decided to try to take everyone down with him.
