Wolvurkel



Wolvurkel is one of the Comic Book Bots that Dr. Robotnik created to destroy Sonic in the Sonic the Hedgehog comics.

History
Wolvurkel was intended to be based on the character of Wolverine of the X-Men. However, when Robotnik summoned him to replace Botman, it was revealed that a communications glitch had resulted in him resembling Steve Urkel. (StH #8)

Trivia

 * Wolvurkel is a portmanteau of the Marvel character Wolverine and the Family Matters character Steve Urkel. The latter was meant to be a tribute to Jaleel White, the voice actor of all three Sonics that appeared in their respective television shows.
 * In fact, Sonic makes a reference to the robot, quoting that "You sound familiar," which is a directed nod to Jaleel White.
 * Wolvurkel was also the only Comic Book Robot not shown to be destroyed.
