History
TV series
Season one
Nominatus' screen avatar.
Seeking the means of eradicating all life forms, Nominatus met Dr. Eggman, who had the resources he needed, on the internet. He befriended Eggman over the chat, a relationship that made Orbot and Cubot feel unwanted and temporarily leave, and soon earned enough of his trust to see the schematics for Eggman's lair. Nominatus then secretly took control of Eggman's lair and robots. Though Orbot and Cubot tried to warn Eggman, Nominatus drove the trio away after announcing his agenda while launching an attack on Seaside Island with Eggman's robots. No sooner, Nominatus was confronted by Orbot and Cubot, who had infiltrated cyberspace to stop him. While Nominatus was certain of victory, Orbot and Cubot's flawed method of deciding who to fight Nominatus made him blow up from logical errors.[2]
Personality
Nominatus communicating with speech bubbles.
Nominatus was a malevolent and power-hungry artificial being. Deceiving and intelligent, he would gladly earn others' heartfelt trust, only to gleefully betray them without a pang of remorse. He valued logic and order above all else and hated the real world for being illogical and messy, a sense of contempt that compelled him to seek the destruction of the entire world and all its life forms.[2]
Nominatus was seemingly fearless and very confident, if not a little battle-hungry, as he eagerly invited Orbot and Cubot to fight him. At times, he would communicate with Smilies that appeared in low-bit speech bubbles around his face.[2]
Powers and abilities
A virtual being, Nominatus' powers were manifested in the manipulation of cyberspace, giving him potentially omnipotence within his realm. He could take control of computerized devices in the real world, his control going as far as to robots and weapon defenses. Supposedly, he could even manipulate the virtual reality around him to create environments, traps, and even give himself superpowers, like a degree of pyrokensis.[2]
Weakness
Being so logically orientated, Nominatus is incapable of understanding and processing illogical concepts. Trying to process too many logical errors at once will ultimate cause him to overload.[2]
