— Bio-Hazard, Sonic the Comic #86

Bio-Hazard is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. He is a robotic member of Lord Sidewinder's gang from the Special Zone.

Appearance

Bio-Hazard appears to be wholly mechanical, with copious amounts of smoke constantly being emitted from pipes on the top of his head and back.

History

Heroes & Villains

Bio-Hazard's first appearance, from Sonic the Comic #85. Art by Richard Elson.

Bio-Hazard was a member of Lord Sidewinder's gang when the crime lord first encountered Super Sonic. When Super Sonic betrayed Sidewinder, Bio-Hazard attempted to stop him, only to be batted aside with ease. When Chaotix arrived in an attempt to rescue Sonic the Hedgehog, Bio-Hazard fought against Espio. The fight was not conclusive, and Bio-Hazard eventually escaped with the rest of the gang.

The Ultimate Nightmare

Soon afterward, Bio-Hazard accompanied the Sidewinder gang when they infiltrated Chaotix's asteroid base in order to abduct the Omni-Viewer and the suspended Super Sonic within. During a brief conflict with Sonic, Bio-Hazard attacked with his toxic vomit, but missed Sonic and struck Lord Sidewinder instead. Realising that the poison was fatal and that Bio-Hazard had the antidote back at their hideout, the gang fled.

Doomsday

When the captured Super Sonic prepared to escape the Black Asteroid by heating it to millions of degrees, Bio-Hazard joined Sidewinder on a rocket heading for the Asteroid so that Sidewinder could steal Super Sonic's powers. Along with Mr Fry, Bio-Hazard became concerned that the gang was positioned too close to the exploding Asteroid, and when he learned that Sidewinder's plan was to "call [Super Sonic] to me with the power of my mind", Bio-Hazard declared the Sidewinder was a "loony". Before the argument could go further, Sonic and the Chaotix Crew arrived to stop Sidewinder and Bio-Hazard was knocked out by Mighty.

Hunter & The Hunted

Sidewinder and his gang were arrested and sent to prison, although they eventually managed to escape. Sidewinder, still obsessed with Super Sonic, sent Bio-Hazard to Mobius by means of a Dimensional Teleporter in order to track down Super Sonic and bring him back to the Special Zone. Bio-Hazard found Super Sonic (currently powerless and amnesiac) at a coffee bar owned by Ebony called The Groovy Train. Bio-Hazard proceeded to smash up the bar. Ebony tried to fight him off, only to discover that her direct magical attacks (such as the Golden Rays of Adezza) did not work on him because he was so stupid. Instead, she used her magic to create an illusion and convince Bio-Hazard that he was surrounded by multiple copies of Super Sonic. Despite having been ordered not to, Bio-Hazard used his toxic vomit to try and take down the Super Sonics, only realizing they were illusions once they had vanished. Bio-Hazard cornered Super Sonic, Ebony and Pyjamas in Ebony's office, and broke in by smashing a hole in the wall. However, before he could grab Super Sonic, Lieutenant Furor shut down the Dimensional Teleporter and Bio-Hazard was sucked back to the Special Zone, where he was arrested along with the rest of Sidewinder's gang by the New Tek Police.

Showdown

When Dr. Robotnik absorbed the power of the Chaos Emeralds and reshaped reality so that Sonic the Hedgehog and the Chaotix never existed, he made Sidewinder (now calling himself Overlord Sidewinder) ruler of the Special Zone, with Bio-Hazard, Mr. Fry, and Lightmare remaining as his enforcers. Robotnik then sent Sonic to the Special Zone and took away his powers so that Bio-Hazard and Sidewinder's other minions could easily destroy him. While Bio-Hazard and Mr. Fry beat Sonic up, Sidewinder whispered to Lightmare that after destroying Sonic, he planned to find a way to steal Robotnik's powers so that he could rule the universe himself. However, the omnipresent Robotnik overheard this, and in a fit of rage, he turned Sidewinder and all of his minions to stone, including Bio-Hazard, as a warning to anyone else who might think of betraying him. When Robotnik was stripped of his powers and reality was returned to normal, Bio-Hazard was presumably turned back to normal and returned to prison, just like Mr. Fry.

Personality

Bio-Hazard is evil and possesses a short temper. He speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent, such as pronouncing "yuh" instead of "you", “yer” instead of “you’re”, “frink” instead of “freak”, and saying “dis” and “dat” instead of “this and “that”. Described as an idiot, Bio-Hazard also talks with incorrect grammar and frequently begins sentences with the word "duh".

Powers and abilities

Bio-Hazard is super-strong, able to easily punch through a stone wall. Bio-Hazard’s armor is very durable, able to withstand direct attacks from Super Sonic and Mighty the Armadillo , although, not without being knocked aside and taking damage. He also appears to be immune to Ebony's magic spells (such as the Golden Rays of Adezza), which Ebony assumed was because her magic works mainly on the mind and Bio-Hazard is "seriously thick". He also has the ability to spew deadly toxic waste from his mouth. Anyone who touches his toxic waste will become poisoned and quickly die unless they receive an antidote.

Trivia

• Bio-Hazard was originally designed by artist Richard Elson (along with other members of Lord Sidewinder's gang), and Nigel Kitching then developed the story ideas to incorporate these characters. Elson originally named the character "Atomic Pile", but Kitching would change the name to "Bio-Hazard" later on.
