The Caterkiller is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a caterpillar-based Badnik variant created by Dr. Eggman.
History[]
Early use[]
During Dr. Eggman's early rule over Mobotropolis, a number of Caterkillers would engage the newly formed Freedom Fighters with little success as the heroes fought to reclaim their city.[1] Eggman would also sell his outdated Caterkillers to his former lackey Breezie the Hedgehog, who made them serve Breeze Media.[2]
Shattered World Crisis[]
- Note: From the reader's point of view, this picks up from where the Caterkillers' original timeline ended.
Over time, a number of scrapped Caterkillers were left behind in a deserted Eggman junkyard which Zavok, Zeena and Zor reanimated with their magnetic powers and used to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog during their visit there.[3] These events were later prevented from ever happening thanks to a time traveling Xander Payne.[4]
Caterkillers would also be used in the Soumerca Egg Army's employ.[5]
Powers and abilities[]
The classic Caterkiller is distinguished by its ability to detach its numerous spiked segments from each other with ease.[1]
Trivia[]
- The Caterkiller is based on the Badnik of the same name who first appeared in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Like the comics, the original Caterkiller is known to see its segments scatter, but only if attacked wrong.
