Bertha Kintobor (neé Robotnik)[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She was an Overlander and a member of the House of Ivo. She was the daughter of Gerald Robotnik and Jennifer Vasquez, the wife of Ivo Kintobor, and the mother of Colin and Julian Kintobor, the latter of whom would become the infamous Dr. Ivo Robotnik.[1]

Bertha Kintobor was only about half a head taller than her son Colin when he had hit adolescence.

Trivia[]
"-ther Robotnik", from Sonic the Hedgehog #21.
- To coincide with the Sega game canon, Professor Gerald was named Gerald Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog #177. This contradicted the previously established canon that the name "Robotnik" was created by Julian Kintobor when starting his military coup. Writer Ian Flynn argued that Julian took on the last name "Robotnik" from his grandfather Gerald and thus the last name already existed, as Gerald was his maternal grandfather and thus would not have had the last name Kintobor, therefore making Bertha Gerald's daughter. This was confirmed in Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia.
- Bertha’s son Julian, while enacting his coup on the Kingdom of Acorn, took Bertha’s maidan name and combined it with her husband’s name to rechristened himself as "Dr. Ivo Robotnik," ruler of Mobius.[4]
- A photograph of an unnamed individual identified as "-ther Robotnik" but bearing a different design can be glimpsed in Sonic the Hedgehog #21. This may either be Bertha or another relative.
