Snively Robotnik[2] (born day 134, 3206), born Colin Kintobor Jr.,[1] is the secondary antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He was the Overlander nephew of the infamous world-despot Dr. Ivo Robotnik (formerly Julian Kintobor). Snively was both devious and treacherous, and was responsible for his uncle's death when he reprogrammed the Ultimate Annihilator to target only his DNA. Following this, Snively attempted to secure control over his late-uncle's empire, only to be captured and imprisoned by the Freedom Fighters.
After escaping from prison and being the temporary leader of the other escapees, Snively eventually joined the alternate-universe counterpart of his deceased uncle, Dr. Eggman, though their relationship has been even more antagonistic than that between Snively and the original Robotnik. Snively eventually entered into a secret relationship with Regina Ferrum, with the two planning to dispose of the Iron King and rule the Eggman Empire together. After the fall of the Iron Dominion their relationship was abruptly broken off, only for Snively to escape from Eggman again to free Regina. His attempt to conquer the Eggman Empire afterward was short lived, and he was immediately imprisoned in the bowels of the Death Egg Mark 2, before briefly being moved to the Wily Egg until the Super Genesis Wave rewrote his existence.
