Aquis (Sonic the Comic)

The Aquis is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a seahorse-based Badnik variant created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik. These were among the first generation of Badniks Robotnik produced and have a habit of relentlessly pursuing their selected targets.

History
A pair of Aquis Badniks were subordinates to the Arachbot in the Labyrinth Zone when he captured Tails. They were defeated by Sonic and their organic batteries were freed.

A lone Aquis was left free in the Oil Ocean Zone during a cleanup operation by the zone's workforce. When the same Aquis Badnik discovered Sonic the Hedgehog in the zone, it starts attacking him, causing him to being chased down to the oil pool. The Aquis then ignited the oil, making everyone think that the Badniks had finished the hedgehog completely. As it turned out, the Aquis made a fatal mistake and drove Sonic into turning into transforming into Super Sonic. The Aquis attempted to flee but Super Sonic easily destroyed it.

Powers and abilities
Aquis can fly at high speeds and shoot fire from their mouths.
