Lord Sidewinder

An old enemy of the Chaotix Crew, Lord Sidewinder was a powerful aristocrat and crimelord based out of New Tek City on Planet Meridian in the Special Zone. He is apparently responsible for numerous evil crimes, such as detonating nuclear bombs, but is too intelligent to leave any proof that may convict him. He first appeared in STC #85, in the second part of the Heroes and Villains segment of a larger arc involving the evil Super Sonic.

Lord Sidewinder has a gray/green body, white eyes and wears a purple gown.

Sonic had recently entered the Special Zone in pursuit of the genocidal demon Super Sonic, who had been separated from him at this point. Mistaken for a supervillain, Sonic was arrested and bailed out by Lord Sidewinder, who had encountered Super Sonic and made a deal with him; Sidewinder would bring Sonic to the villain so he could kill him, preventing any chance of the two being merged again, and in return Super Sonic would help Lord Sidewinder to conquer the planet. Super Sonic, however, had lied to Sidewinder, and fought in a violent mélee with Sonic, the Chaotix and Sidewiner's minions that would destroy Sidewinder's estate.

Super Sonic was defeated and trapped in the Omni-Viewer, but Sidewinder had escaped to his laboratory in New Tek City, now obsessed with stealing Super Sonic's powers for himself. To this end, he obtained shrinking gas from former Chaotix member Nack the Weasel and attacked the Chaotix base in hopes of retaking Super Sonic. The plan failed due to the intervention of Sonic himself and the incompetence of his crony Biohazard, who managed to poison Sidewinder with his 'toxic vomit.'

When the Chaotix Crew attempted to seal Super Sonic in the heart of the Black Asteroid, Sidewinder followed, but he and his team were again bested by the Chaotix and imprisoned. He made a single reappearance during the run of the comic, seeking to kidnap the now pacifistic and powerless Super Sonic from Mobius, but he was tracked to his base by New Tek City Lieutenant Furor and sent back to jail with his team.

In Sonic the Comic Online, Sidewinder was presumably killed when Shadow the Hedgehog used Chaos Control to destroy the Special Zone on the orders of Dr. Zachary.
