Doctor Mobius

""You will never survive my deadly roboscorpions, technological terrors and, uh, um... BIGGER, more ATOMIC versions of these things!""

- Doctor Mobius

Doctor Mobius is a doctor currently operating the Big Empty as a think tank brain in 2281.

Background
Doctor Mobius is a pre-War doctor that had his brain implanted into a think tank to continue his work at the Big Empty. When he first meets the Courier, the doctor appears to have a malfunction in his right 'eye' and is finding it difficult to tell if the Courier is actually in the room.

He is also the leader of the Robo-scorpions of the Big Empty,and the nemesis of Doctor Klein and his team of scientist. Being originally part of that team, he personally never though of really opposing his former colleagues,let alone killing them, he instead blames his occasional use of Psycho for his aggressive and threatening personality. He is in fact very docile and will not be hostile to the Courier, even if the player destroyed or disabled his giant robo-scorpion. Dr. Mobius also seems to have short term memory, sometimes barely recalling events a few instants before, this can be in part because of his excessive use of chems, such as Mentats and Psycho.

Appearances
Doctor Mobius appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes

 * His name is a reference to the Möbius strip, a 3D object which topologically has only one side. It is often used as a metaphor for infinity or looping.
 * His name is likely a reference to the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet, with a character named Dr. Morbius (One letter off from Mobius). Morbius also has built a robot, more specifically Robby The Robot.
 * Mobius makes a comment "Hmmmmm Men-thats" calling mentats "menthats" a reference to the Simpsons with homers "hmmm (object)"
 * Mobius often says 'Raisins' instead of 'Reasons', this could be a reference to the Big Brain that appeared in an episode of Futurama, after being made stupid by Fry it comments "Now i will leave Earth for no raisin!".
 * The 'Murderous gang of thugs' that he said once went looking for a spine, a heart(courage), and a brain, but had them all along is a reference to Frank L. Baum's book The Wizard of Oz. The thugs refer to The Tin Man, The Scarecrow, and The Cowardly Lion.
 * Mobius' damaged right eye may be a reference to eye patches worn by villians in B-Movies.
