Doctor Bob Bobble

From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki

This character exists primarily or exclusively within the continuity of Fleetway Editions' Sonic the Comic series.
Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.

Doctor Bobble was a scientist in New Tek City who resented the fact that nobody respected his genius. He used a machine he had invented (which produced "Delta Rays") to make him stronger. However, he absorbed too much of the machine's rays and ended up turning into a rampaging monster called The Bulk. Sonic and Chaotix turned up to fight him but he was too strong for them, until Vector found a way to reverse the effects of the machine and change him back. After he was stopped, Sonic destroyed the Delta Ray machine and the doctor made a resolution to use his knowledge for good in future.

Doctor Bobble has peach skin, gray hair and blue eyes, while the Bulk has purple skin and green eyes. Doctor Bobble likes science, dislikes parties, fun, his abilities are super strength when transforming into the Bulk and his weakness is unable to reverse the effects of his machinery. The Bulk likes destruction, dislikes being stopped from causing destruction, his abilities are super strength and his weakness is muscles grow beyond movement.

[edit] Notes

Doctor Bobble (and his alter ego, the Bulk) is an homage to the Marvel Comics superhero, The Incredible Hulk. The Delta Rays that transformed Bobble into the Bulk are similarly a reference to the Hulk being created after being pelted by Gamma Rays. This was one of the many parodies that appeared in Fleetway Editions' Sonic the Comic during the life of the series.
