<blockquote>
<h3>Dr Neo Cortex</h3>
<p>A mad scientist who creates a deadly ray – a classic villain combination. Except Cortex’s Evolvo-Ray – which was meant to turn a simple bandicoot into a super intelligent leader for his armies.</p>
<p>Instead it created Crash, the slightly doolally hero that has been a thorn in his side ever since. Cortex embodies many of the classic traits of villainhood; being short-tempered, reckless, having no apparent conscience, stubbornness and an inability to plan or learn from his mistakes.</p>
<p>He often relies on his minion Tiny Tiger to eliminate Crash by himself, despite the fact that Tiny is too incompetent to do so alone.</p>
<p>Cortex is a classic villain you love to hate, especially because the self-stylized genius keeps getting bested by a silly bandicoot with a penchant for dancing.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Here&#8217;s what to expect from the &#8220;Megastars&#8221; Feature of Crash Bandicoot</span>: It is in pages 28-29, has info about the Trilogy (mentions a combined number from VGChartz, ugh), Character Design evolution, Speedrun of Trilogy, Skylanders and Uncharted 4. It even has sections about IRL Large Bandicoots, Crash Bandicoot gene and Japanese Crash!</p>
