The Omnipotent Omni-Viewer, or Omni for short, was a sentient energy field who served as the founder and guiding force for the Chaotix team. It resembled a floating flat-panel television with a force field instead of a screen, and a face formed out of deviations on its surface. Introduced in Sonic the Comic #8 as an old friend of Sonic the Hedgehog, the Omni-Viewer was forced by Dr. Robotnik to transport Sonic and his friends into the future, thereby allowing the evil scientist to take over.

Omni could travel anywhere in the Special Zone or Mobius instantly (or transport other characters if they passed into his energy field). For a lengthy run, Omni attempted to imprison Super Sonic, a murderous and powerful entity who by that time had been separated from Sonic entirely, within his energy field by stopping time. However, Super Sonic was not completely trapped in Omni; a finger remained outside the field, forcing time within the Omni-Viewer to pass very slowly instead of remaining at a standstill. Because of Super Sonic's great speed, he eventually managed to escape, and was instrumental in ridding Mobius of Robotnik's rule as the explosion he used to escape caused an EMP wave, disabling all electronic circuitry and freeing every badnik on the planet.
