	Games - Doctor Neo Cortex

Doctor Neo Cortex is a video game character, and very often a boss, from the Crash Bandicoot
series. Cortex's appearance and personality is often viewed as stereotypical and cartoonish. He is a mad scientist bent on world domination.

Overview

Cortex has experimented biologically altering animals into human-like minions and enforcers. Crash himself was one of the earlier "failed" attempts at this. He has also been known to work with fellow evil scientists such as Dr. N. Gin, Dr. Nefarious Tropy and Dr. Nitrus Brio, who betrayed Cortex in the second game and mysteriously ended up back on his team in Crash Bash.

In the first two games his motives for this are left unexplained, and generally they were never questioned in the games by the fans; however in the third game it is revealed that Cortex was working under the orders of the sentient mask Uka Uka, the evil twin of Crash's Aku Aku. He even teams up with Ripto to try to rule the world. In Crash Twinsanity he was forced to team up with Crash after The Evil Twins attempted to take over the island he and Crash inhabit. Cortex usually appears as a final boss or playable character in the Crash Bandicoot series. In Crash Tag Team Racing, he is teamed with N. Gin and Nina Cortex. He wants to win the ownership of the park to make it his new evil base. His full name is revealed to be Neo Periwinkle Cortex by Ebeneezer Von Clutch early in the game. He also seems to have developed a narcissist attitude, saying such quotes as "Haha! I'm funky, fresh and beautiful!" and "How could you do that?! I'm so pretty!"
