[edit] Psychopathy

I dunno about you guys, but it seems that Cortex displays quite a bit of the traits of psychopathy. Let me explain.

1. Superficial charm and above average intelligence

• I dunno about the charm bit, but he's an evil genius, which might count as above average intelligence.

1. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking

• Throughout the Crash Bandicoot series, I've never witnessed Cortex display any signs of delusional or irrational thinking.

1. Untruthfulness and insincerity

• In Crash Bandicoot 2, he frequently lies to Crash so that Crash can gather Crystals for him.
• In Crash Twinsanity, he lies about himself being the most popular kid in school and himself being heartbroken about his parrots being send to the 10th Dimension.
• Cortex deceives Crash twice in Crash Tag Team Racing into getting parts for two of his vehicles, telling Crash that he plans to use one of them for "mass helping people".

1. Lack of remorse or shame.

• In Crash Twinsanity, he showed no signs of either when his aforementioned parrots vanished.

1. Pathological egocentricity and incapacity to love.

• Cortex seems to think highly of himself, especially in Tag Team Racing. Also, he is never seen being sexually attracted to anyone.

1. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.

• What sex life? My point exactly.

Where these traits do appear to be present in this character, several of these traits present with psychopaths also overlap with traits present with Narcissistic personality disorder, which he appears to have more in common with. Further, Doctor Neo Cortex is described here as having a personality similar to a typical mad scientist, and generally narcissism is more strongly associated with mad scientists than psychopathy is. However, I would like to hear a response as to whether or not this is an accurate category.--66.24.229.7 17:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

about him lieing about being popular he might have thourt he was in his warpt mindSailor cuteness 13:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

TRUE.But in Twinsanity, we see him scared, and we see his funny side. And you know what? He once even nearly said Nina was his daughter. From CocoBandicoot17!CocoBandicoot17 02:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Cortex's "My daugh-err... niece!" line was actually an inside reference to how Nina was originally to be Cortex's daughter when Nitro Kart was being developed by Traveller's Tales (before Vicarious Visions took over). And how does having a funny side affect whether a person is a psychopath or not? As far as I can see, Cortex embodies all three of the main traits of psychopathy: manipulative (lying, charming, or intimidating others to get what he wants), impulsive (short-tempered, failure to plan ahead), and no conscience (no remorse or shame).Cat's Tuxedo 03:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk about being psycopathic... are you on drugs, mate? Because it's a GAME! NOT REAL. I think you should get that through your THICK head before you write anything else. DON'T YOU!?!Coco 02:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to ignore that last statement and suggest that we somehow merge these personality traits into the 'Personality and appearance' section of the article. That way, if the 'Fictional psychopaths' category is ever resurrected, Doctor Neo Cortex would be a definite inclusion in it. Thank you. Cat's Tuxedo 18:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit warring

I want to see a discussion and not more edits trying to outwit the other. If the protection is lifted and you continue to edit war, you may be blocked for a longer period of time. -- ReyBrujo 20:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, since CBFan was merely reverting the page for convienience, I've going to go ahead and revert it back to the earlier version, EXCEPT for the disputed statment. We can discuss that here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.42.99.93 (talk • contribs).

NO! That's NOT discussing the issue, that is ONLY asserting YOUR opinion...again. To keep it neutral, we HAVE to get back to the version BEFORE it was edited. By you editing it before ANYTHING has been discussed, you're vandalising. We discuss it here first, THEN we edit it. Once we come to an agreement, we edit it. NOT before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CBFan (talk • contribs).

• No, most of those edits were minor cleanups, and half of them weren't even mine. Now, I've removed the only edit I made that you have a problem with, but the rest of the edits stay.

[edit] new photo

Would you consider getting rid of that photo from Crash Bandicoot Warped and replace it with a photo from Crash Tag Team Racing?

Tag Team Racing, eh? While I can't really help you in terms of photos, I might be able to make a request to someone who has an emulator. How about an emulated photo of Doctor Cortex in the Tag Team Racing cutscene "Von Clutch Makes A Deal"? Cat's Tuxedo 21:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Good Idea

Yeah! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CocoBandicoot17 (talk • contribs).

How do you all like the new photo I put up? Cat's Tuxedo 00:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] voice

Wil you please put a "Voice" section like you put in other articles of the Crash Bandicoot characters? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.187.116 (talk • contribs).
