Nicenik

Niceniks are a group that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. They are Badniks infected with a virus that makes them relatively nicer.

History
Early on into Robotnik's rule over Mobius, the Freedom Fighters decided to turn things in their favour. Porker designed a machine fitted to a long staff that would destroy Badniks and infect their remains with a "Nicenik" virus. When testing this for the first time on Moto Bugs in the Green Hill Zone, Sonic the Hedgehog believed that the weapon had failed, inadvertantly turning the Badniks to "scrap". When Badnik Army Repair Functionaries Cam and Bert arrived to fix the Badniks, however, Cam was forced to drain the virus before Bert repaired them.

A pair of Niceniks, Bim and Bom, escaped however and roamed the Green Hill Zone. After witnessing Bert blowing up "Sonic" (actually the Triple-S), the Niceniks attacked B.A.R.F. but were destroyed themselves. The virus was then removed and there were presumably no more, but one lone Nicenik was seen sniffing flowers after B.A.R.F.'s departure.
