Doctor Ivo Robotnik is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Comic series and its spin-offs published by Fleetway Editions. He was originally a kind human scientist named Doctor Ovi Kintobor before an accident transformed him into the mad scientist Ivo Robotnik. Dr. Robotnik is a genius-level scientist who has tried time and time again to conquer Mobius, only to be stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies at every turn. He eventually managed to achieve control over Mobius by sending Sonic and his friends to the future, allowing him to dominate all of Mobius within six months. However, after many series of battles, Robotnik's regime was overthrown. Regardless, he continued trying to conquer the planet several times again after that. However, when it was brought to his attention that his own evil methods were self-defeating, Dr. Robotnik started to lose his grip on sanity and began seeking the destruction of Mobius instead. However, his plots to achieve this end were foiled by Sonic and his allies.
