Momma Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)

Momma Robotnik, also called Mama Robotnik, is a character that appears in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. She is a human and the mother of the infamous Dr. Ivo Robotnik. She is usually kept in a nursing home called "Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers", though she tends to escape from time to time. Her viciousness is enough to scare even Robotnik himself, and Sonic considers her his second-greatest enemy.

Why She Intentionally Sucks

 * 1) While she is an intentionally unlikeable character that solely exists to make us sympathize even more for Robotnik as the main antagonist of the show, she lacks all of the likeability her son has since Robotnik has so many moments where he can be surprisingly affable and even, polite at times despite being an over-the-top villain.
 * 2) She has a very cheesy character design. Her design is a feminized reskin of the grotesque-looking Dr. Robotnik himself (down to having the exact same mustache! Yes, women have facial hair, but not to this extent of looking ridiculous.)
 * 3) * Her facial design without the mustache isn't all that appealing either, in fact, it's nearly as ugly as Robotnik is without his mustache.
 * 4) Her parenting skills are beyond abysmal and inept. Mainly due to how heartless, careless and mean-spirited she is towards her own son.
 * 5) * For example, in the episode "Zoobotnik"; right after she ruined Robotnik's marriage by fighting Katella since it was all in Sonic's plan for making Robotnik stay away from Katella so Sonic could escape, Momma shamelessly tells her own son that she raised him to always be dishonest, a compulsive liar and expected him to be more of a ruthless monster. All right after Robotnik was being honest about why Sonic instigated the fight and not wanting to be affiliated with Katella in the first place. No wonder why Robotnik turned out to be the petty villain that he is today!
 * 6) Her atrocious 'parenting' aside, she is still very much a selfish jerk towards her own son. Often abusing Robotnik both verbally and physically to the point of making Robotnik genuinely fear her, which gets taken to the point of making her an abusive mom that is irredeemably vile.
 * 7) * In the episode "Momma Robotnik's Birthday", she forces Robotnik to watch him capture Sonic in person since she wanted the Mobius National Park as her gift. After Robotnik typically fails because of his henchmen's blunders and Robotnik making white lies to her, she then kicks her own son out of his very own fortress, she also takes away Robotnik's own minions to be on her own (Coconuts being the only exception who eventually crawls back to Robotnik).
 * 8) * In the episode "Momma Robotnik Returns", she proudly disowns Robotnik so she could try to adopt Sonic, which she then makes a fool of herself for doing just that.
 * 9) While she is greatly voiced by Kathleen Barr, her evil laugh sounded jarring in "Momma Robotnik's Birthday" and "Momma Robotnik Returns". Especially when it sounded more like simultaneous gasping before she made a normal-sounding laugh.
 * 10) Her motives are very idiotic, extremely questionable, and a whole lot pettier than Robotnik's villainous and/or attention-seeking motives. There were many times when her immoral actions can make her out to be less competent than her own son most of the time. One example of this is when she puts Tails in a dungeon but doesn't think to realize how Sonic can rescue him since Momma kicked her son out of his own home.
 * 11) * If she is supposed to be even worse than Robotnik is as a psychopath, why didn't she try taking over the world herself instead of doing pointless things to do just that??
 * 12) * She, for whatever reason, came back to Robotnik despite the latter supposedly driving her away from him.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She sometimes gets her comeuppance for her villainous deeds, which isn't saying much since she never learns from her mistakes at all.
 * 2) As mentioned above, Kathleen Barr does a great job at voicing her since it matches the cartoonishly evil personality that her son already has in a way.
 * 3) While she is obnoxious, self-centered, abusive and a relentless troublemaker, some viewers can find her to be nearly as entertaining as Robotnik is. Which can make Momma Robotnik more of a "love-to-hate" type of villain, despite her having little to no comeuppance for her egregious behavior.
 * 4) It's very obvious that she is meant to be hated since she serves as the very reason for where a part of Robotnik's villainy comes from (aside from the episode "Best Hedgehog").
