Orbinaut (Archie)


 * For the version of this character before the Super Genesis Wave, see Orbinaut (Pre-Super Genesis Wave).

The Orbinaut is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a sea urchin-based Badnik variant created by Dr. Eggman.

Early use
During Dr. Eggman's early rule over Mobotropolis, a number of Orbinaut would engage the newly formed New Freedom Fighters with little success as the heroes fought to reclaim their city.

Genesis
A small team of Orbinauts reappeared underwater in the Labyrinth Zone during the time Sonic's World was reshaped by the first Genesis Wave, where they attacked Sonic and his group. Making a hole in a wall, Sonic created a drain which sucked in him, Sally, Rotor, Antoine and the Orbinauts. Emerging from a waterfall, the Orbinauts and Antoine fell into the depths while the rest escape.

Powers and abilities
The Orbinauts' abilities rely on their four spiked balls. Their spinning enables Orbinauts to float in the air, and they can be launched one by one at his foes.
