Go To

Dr. Eggman: So let me get this straight... We team up to wreak havoc on our respective enemies.
Dr. Wily: Yep.
Dr. Eggman: We combine our intelligences to create powerful robots and unnecessarily complex schemes.
Dr. Wily: That's right.
Dr. Eggman: And in the end, everything will blow up in our faces.
Dr. Wily: Probably.
Dr. Eggman: So why are we doing this?
Dr. Wily: You have anything better to do?
Two Evil Scientist Villains Victorious, Pt 1

Two Evil Scientists is a long-running sprite comic that has been updated since 2004 and has enjoyed a somewhat more than modest fanfare. Initially starting out on keenspace (now comicgenesis) the comic was moved to smackjeeves where it became one of the longest running comics on the site. The comic takes a somewhat lighthearted idea and makes it work; pitting together the characters from both the Mega Man series and the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Rather than solely focusing on the exploits of the heroes of these series however, the comic, as its title implies, has a heavier focus on the two main villains (Dr. Albert Wily and Dr. Ivo Robotnik) from these series. The author makes use of the many similarities between these series to make for an interesting comic.

Years after Two Evil Scientists was created (not to mention after suffering its Schedule Slip), Capcom, Sega, and Archie Comics would create an official crossover between their flagship franchises with Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide. As far as we know, none of them are aware of TES, but it nonetheless features some striking similarities.

The series has not been updated since January 2011, with no word from the writer.
