~ Doctor J. Kintobor to Sonic. |
Doctor J. Kintobor is a minor character in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series by Archie Comics. He is an alternate reality version of Dr. Robotnik, mayor of Kintopolis who, in pursuit of scientific research, had inadvertently mutated his world's Mobians into kaiju-like monsters, putting his city's existence in jeopardy. He eventually received help from Sonic the Hedgehog from the Prime Zone.
Appearance[]
J. Kintobor looks exactly like Dr. Eggman, except his jacket is white with red undertones instead of red with yellow undertones.
Biography[]
J. Kintobor was a scientist leading the city of Kintopolis. For many years, he attempted to unlock the power of Chaos Emerald to use its energy for his people's needs. He performed his tests on the remote Knothole Island, and managed to split the jewel in half. He didn't foresee the experiment having a catastrophic fallout, mutating the local "wildlife", this Zone's Mobians, into giant monsters. Since then, they attacked Kintopolis multiple times, with Kintobor's armies proving powerless to stop them. The doctor developed the Roboticization virus to paralyze the monsters, succeeding with the likes of Chuck-Zilla, but eventually they developed immunity to it. He also built giant automatons in an attempt to combat the threat, but the only thing that could power them were the Chaos Emerald halves, that remained in the monsters' lair on the island.
When Sonic from the Prime Zone was brought into Kintobor's world by Zonic the Zone Cop, Rabbot-Zilla was attacking Kintopolis. After Sonic defeated her, he was greeted by its residents, J. Kintobor among them. Kintobor told Sonic the entire story behind the monsters' attack, and the hedgehog agreed to help. He took control of the Giant Robotno, powering it with his legs, and headed for the Knothole Island. He fought the monsters and managed to retrieve one half of the Chaos Emerald, though he had to kill the counterpart of his father Jules for this purpose. Back in Kintopolis, Kintobor hailed Sonic as a hero, and made a new automaton in his image, though he never learned his hero's name as he left back for his home zone before he could ask.
Personality[]
J. Kintobor is a near-polar opposite of his Prime Zone and its alternate future counterparts. He appears to be a benevolent ruler to the residents of Kintopolis, doing what he can to protect them, and although he is the reason the innocent Mobians got mutated and became threats to Kintopolis, he never intended for this to happen and feels remorse for it to this day. He appreciates Sonic's help a lot, even though the hedgehog himself treats the doctor rather coldly due to remembering what the Prime Zone Robotnik and Eggman did to him and his close ones.
Trivia[]
- J. Kintobor is one of the few counterparts of Dr. Robotnik in the Pre-Super Genesis Wave continuity to have his design based on the main series Dr. Eggman instead of his SatAM counterpart.
