Story

=Sonic the Hedgehog Promotional Comic

Ovi Kintobor in the promotional comic

Dr. Kintobor was a scientist who had embarked on a mission to rid the planet Mobius of negative energy by using a machine termed the Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor (ROCC) to compress this negative energy into the Chaos Emeralds. During this experiment, Kintobor met a brown hedgehog called Sonic for the first time, who had accidentally dug into the laboratory.

After this, Kintobor and Sonic quickly became friends, with Kintobor helping Sonic advance his speed. Due to an accident when a trendmill exploded after Sonic broke the sound barrier Sonic attained his much-recognised blue coloring, due to the Cobalt Effect. During lunch Sonic brought Kintobor a egg and soda. Kintobor accidently drops his soda on R.O.C.C. while still holding the egg. This caused the R.O.C.C. to explode, exposing Kintobor to the negative energy within the emeralds, and scattering gold rings across the planet. At the same time, Kintobor's body was morphed with the egg, giving him his rotund appearance.

Dr. Kintobor was a scientist who had embarked on a mission to rid the planet Mobius of negative energy by using a machine termed the Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor (ROCC) to compress this negative energy into the Chaos Emeralds. During this experiment, Kintobor met a brown hedgehog called Sonic for the first time, who had accidentally stumbled into the laboratory.

After this, Kintobor and Sonic quickly became friends, with Kintobor helping Sonic advance his speed. Due to an accident involving a pair of friction-reducing shoes Kintobor had developed, Sonic broke the sound barrier, which caused him to attain his much-recognised blue colouring. After this, Sonic used his new ability to search out the seventh Chaos Emerald, which, Kintobor theorised, would stabilise the energy contained in the other six. Sonic failed to find this last emerald, however, forcing Kintobor to find a way to stabilise the energy using only six emeralds. Before the had a chance to perform the procedure, however, the two decided to have lunch, however Kintobor had been so engrossed in his work that he had forgotten to restock the fridge, leaving only a single rotten egg. While carrying this egg back to the ROCC, however, Kintobor tripped over a wire and fell, slamming his hand, and the egg, onto the console. This caused the ROCC to overload and explode, exposing Kintobor to the negative energy within the emeralds, and scattering gold rings across the planet. At the same time, Kintobor's body was morphed with the egg, giving him his rotund appearance.

The essence of the original Kintobor remained, however, in some fashion, and was incorporated within the computer system used by the Freedom Fighters in their Emerald Hill Zone base. Shortly before the base was destroyed by Robotnik, this incarnation of Kintobor was downloaded into a computer system, where he was able to survive.

In an adventure during the later years of the comic, wherein the Brotherhood of Metallix had altered history in an effort to take over the planet, that a future version of Sonic had been responsible for the accident, having pulled on one of the cables lying across the floor. The very one that Kintobor had tripped over. This led Sonic to the unsatisfying realisation that he, himself was responsible for the creation of his nemesis.

Dr. Kintobor reappeared for a short time, after Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna were able to drain the emerald power that Robotnik had absorbed from him, using the Grey Emerald. This caused Robotnik to shrink to subatomic proportions, reverting back to his Kintobor incarnation, before landing on the planet Shanazar. This was not for definite, however, and Kintobor soon began to revert back to Robotnik again.

Other Versions

In the UK book, Sonic: The Story, a slightly different course of events was described, wherein Sonic had ventured to the fridge out of boredom and hunger, to find a single rotten egg on the shelves. Taking this egg back to Kintobor, he attempted to hand it to him while the Dr. was entering a series of calculations. Due to this distraction of taking the egg off Sonic, Kintobor entered one of these calculations incorrectly, and it was this error which caused the accident.
