Dr. Hebereke (ヘベレケ博士 Hebereke Hakase) is a major villain within the Medarot series who first debuted as the main antagonist in Medarot 2 (and its anime and manga adaptations) and is generally considered Ikki Tenryou's arch-nemesis. He returns as a minor antagonist in Medarot 3 and 4 and is again the main antagonist in Medarot DS, Medarot 7 and the first chapter of Medarot S.

Although in many adaptations he is the leader of the RoboRobo Gang, in the game continuity he is only the sponsor and uses the group for his own personal agenda.

He is the creator of some powerful Medarots like God Emperor, Grain, Particle and Cross Messiah.

In the English version, his name is Dr. Armond but is better known as Dr. Meta-Evil by the Western tradition of mad scientist names.

In the anime

Dr. Hebereke serves as the primary antagonist in the anime, displaying a significantly more villainous and cruel demeanor compared to his original portrayal in the games. In this adaptation, he leads the RoboRobo Gang and is initially depicted with the classic villain trope of concealing his face in shadows, always accompanied by a cat.

Dr. Hebereke, along with Dr. Akihabara, was a disciple of Dr. Gengoro Fushihara. However, when Fushihara began to perceive the potential danger of his Medal theory, he made the decision to discard it. This led to a conflict between Dr. Hebereke and Fushihara, during which Dr. Hebereke fought to steal Fushihara's research. Subsequently, Hebereke set fire to Fushihara's lab, an act that presumably resulted in Fushihara's death.

Eventually Dr. Hebereke became leader of the RoboRobo Gang. He orchestrates the operations of the gang from distance, always driven by the goal of acquiring rare medals to achieve world domination.

After several failed attempts from the RoboRobo Gang, Dr. Hebereke dispatches God Emperor to acquire Metabee's medal. Once he succeeds, he uses the Medarot to control numerous other equipped with Kabuto Medals. This move lures Ikki and his friends to the gang's base, where Dr. Hebereke discloses to Rokusho his involvement in Dr. Fushihara's demise.

During the ensuing confrontation, Dr. Hebereke unveils himself as a human-like Medarot, possessing the capability to integrate parts from other Medarots into his body. Following his defeat, his Evil Medal is put in Giant Emperor, but he is ultimately defeated. Upon analyzing the medal, Dr. Akihabara discerns that this Dr. Hebereke was a replica imbued with memories from the original, with the whereabouts of the real one being unknown.

Unknown to everyone else, Dr. Hebereke had been utilizing the Robattle World Tournament as part of his plan. He awaited the showdown between two formidable Medarots with rare medals, intending to use a giant resonator located in the stadium. His goal was to take control of all the Medarots and turn them against humanity, repeating what happened during the Ten Days of Darkness. Specifically, he targeted Metabee's and Victor's Warbandit's power to achieve his nefarious scheme.

Once his plan was revealed, Dr. Hebereke claimed to be a descendant of the Medarolians who had disguised among humans. However, his plan ultimately failed thanks to the strong bond of friendship between Ikki and Metabee.

With his second plan thwarted, Dr. Hebereke summons a giant Primity Baby. His colossal Medarot is defeated by a Giant Metabee, piloted by Metabee and his friends. After his defeat, Dr. Gengoro Fushihara descends from outer space and informs Hebereke that the Medarots have no desire to rule over humanity.

Hebereke's cat expresses gratitude to his owner for everything he did, then ejects a Medal from its head. This action releases the cat from Hebereke's control, revealing that the cat's Medal is the true descendant of the Medarolians. Fushihara offers to take Hebereke with him, and the villain departs for outer space.
