Ronnie Dribble is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. He is an anthropomorphic dog and the former manager of the football team, Shinpadzio, who attempted to cheat his way to victory by kidnapping Sonic and copying his powers onto his football players.
History[]
Football Lazy[]
Ronnie Dribble was the Shinpadzio manager during the 1998 season, in which the team got all the way to the Mobius Cup Final. However, between the Final and their previous game, Ronnie's players all let themselves go and became unhealthy, lazy slobs. Seeing that they would lose for sure, Ronnie asked Sonic the Hedgehog to join his team, but Sonic politely refused, claiming that his speed would give Shinpadzio an unfair advantage over other teams. Taking this to mean that Sonic was "Taking their side", he resorted to knocking Sonic unconscious with a laser gun when his back was turned and capturing him. Ronnie then locked him in a Megatal-enforced cell, and used his ray gun to scan Sonic and copy his powers. Dribble gave Sonic's powers to the Shinpadzio players. However, they did not have the skill to control Sonic's super speed and ended up doing terrible. Horrified, Ronnie tried to escape before the fans could catch him, only to be caught by Sonic, who had escaped the cell by tunneling out through the floor, which Ronnie forgot to reinforce with Megatal. The Shinpadzio players also informed Dribble that his power-copying ray had worn off and they also lost the game 0-22. Dribble defensively told Sonic that he was new to being a villain, but Sonic stepped aside for Dribble's chairman, who fired the manager and prosecuted him for bringing the game into disrepute. Dribble was then taken away by the police, in full view of his team’s fans.[1]
Personality[]
Ronnie Dribble is a very determined person. However, he is also immoral and willing to do whatever it takes to win, whether it means cheating or even breaking the law. Ronnie is quite paranoid as well. For instance, when Sonic politely refused to join his team on the grounds that the other team would not have a sporting chance, Ronnie accused him of "taking their side". Dribble is also quite cowardly, as seen when he captured Sonic by shooting him in the back and tried to run away when things looked bad for him.
Powers and abilities[]
Ronnie Dribble is a genius inventor.
Weapons[]
Ronnie used a ray gun which could copy the abilities of a superpowered person by scanning them, and then shoot a green ray that could give others the same powers as the person it scanned, though only temporarily. His ray gun could also shoot green lasers which were powerful enough to knock Sonic unconscious with one shot.
Trivia[]
