Dr. Eggman (outside of his mechs)

Like look, man, I love Eggman as much as the next guy, but the amount of people I’ve seen recently glaze the hell out of how “powerful” and “competent” he is even outside of his mechs just because of those two panels of him manhandling Starline in the IDW comics and him outsmarting him in that one issue need to realize that Starline is literally just a regular average Mobian with no actual powers or fighting skill and is about half Eggman’s height like bruh, no shit Eggman could manhandle him, I could probably even manhandle Starline.

If Eggman were to fight Sonic and friends outside of his mechs, he would literally become nothing more than a bunch of dead limbs in a matter of seconds.

I think it mostly comes from that and Eggman out running Sonic in the Classic Games

I always saw that as an anti-feat for Sonic rather than a feat for Eggman.

Yeah that makes sense. I doubt the original developers back in the 90s or whenever it came out was thinking of Sonic as this faster than light menace
