~ Nominatus |
Nominatus is the main antagonist of the Sonic Boom episodes "Let's Play Musical Friends" and "Nominatus Rising". He pretends to be a friend of Dr. Eggman only to betray him and reprogram his robots in order to destroy all life forms.
He is voiced by Wally Wingert.
Biography[]
Let's Play Musical Friends[]
Nominatus appears as a new friend of Dr. Eggman in chat. Foolishly, Dr. Eggman fires his henchmen Orbot and Cubot and explains his lair's security to Nominatus. When Eggman was offline, he hacked Eggman's system and reprogrammed all bots and the base's security, which was noticed by Orbot and Cubot who were using Tails's computer. They then tried to warn Dr. Eggman only for Nominatus to attack them through the base's lasers, making all Eggman, Orbot and Cubot escape.
Then they ask help of Sonic and his friends to restrain the bots sent by the virus while Orbot and Cubot hacked into the network modelled by Virus as a video game in order to delete him. As the robots reach Nominatus, he challenges them to a battle, but as both of them are weaklings, they try to choose whom to fight by a game of "Rock, Donut, Thursday" which confused the virus as it was illogical. Noticing his weakness against the illogical statements, Orbot and Cubot continued their game which confused Nominatus to the point where his head exploded.
Nominatus Rising[]
Nominatus somehow survived, however, and with his henchmen, Retro and Beta, in tow, returns for revenge, only this time they transport into the real world and take over the village using Tails' new invention to create more minions for themselves. Team Sonic manages to turn their own weapon against them by using it to shrink them to the size of insects. Eggman then captures Nominatus, Retro and Beta and places them in a terrarium in his lair.
Personality[]
Nominatus is a malevolent, loud, and power-hungry artificial being. Deceitful and intelligent, he will gladly earn others' heartfelt trust, only to gleefully betray them without a pang of remorse. He is also an antisocial and abusive boss who constantly criticizes his minions and never shows them any appreciation for their aid. Nominatus values logic and order above all else and hates the real world for being illogical and messy, a sense of contempt that has compelled him to seek the destruction of the entire world and all its life forms.
Nominatus is nearly fearless and very confident, if not a little cocky, as he eagerly invited Orbot and Cubot to fight him. He is also extremely arrogant and prideful, and tends underestimate his opponents. Like Eggman, this attitude causes him to become far too overconfident and boastful for his own good, making him prone to announce his plans prematurely and instigate his own downfall. Regardless, Nominatus is very determined and not one to get deterred by setbacks, although such situations often frustrates him to no end. He is likewise a vengeful character who promises those who have crossed him swift and terrible retribution.
In cyberspace, Nominatus will sometimes communicate using Smilies, which appear as low-bit speech bubbles around his face.

Trivia[]
- He is notable for being one of the few Sonic Boom to actually pose a threat, even if he gets defeated fairly easily in his first appearance.
- He can be seen as the arch-enemy of Orbot and Cubot, which is unusual considering they themselves are secondary antagonists, but still they are the ones who opposed him, challenged him and defeated him, and it appeared that he could even not know about the main hero, Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Nominatus hasn't appeared in any episode after "Nominatus Rising". Considering that Eggman's base, where he ended up after his defeat, exploded in both "Inn Sanity" and "Lair on Lockdown", it's possible that Nominatus was killed by one of these explosions, unless he somehow escaped beforehand.
- It was never explained where Nominatus or his minions come from.
- Dave the Intern owns an action figure of Nominatus, though it is unclear as to how he got it or how he was even aware of Nominatus's existence.
