Doctor Horatio Quentin Quack is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a mobian duck who is the royal physician and is one of the best medical experts in Mobotropolis.
Appearance[]
Dr. Quack has yellow feathers and blue eyes, wearing white doctor coat. He is shown in later comics with an eyepatch from being injured during a battle when Sonic was in space.
History[]
When King Maximillian was turning into crystal, Dr. Quack devised a Dream Watcher that allowed Sonic to enter King Max's mind to stop Max from continuing to turn to crystal.[1] The device, however, emitted a kind of energy that Robotnik was able to track, thus enabling him to locate Knothole. When his wife and his children were captured, Dr. Quack became a pawn in Robotnik's grandiose scheme.[2] Fortunately, the plan was foiled, and the doctor was forgiven for aiding Robotnik given the circumstances.[3][4]
Dr. Quack was also the one who, with the help of Nate Morgan, developed Bunnie's replacement parts that her body's immune system would not reject. Because of this, Bunnie survived, but would never be able to be de-roboticized.[5] Quack was also responsible for treating King Max and Antoine's father, General Armand D'Coolette, for the poison which Patch injected into them. However, the General had been injected with too much poison and passed away,[6] though Dr. Quack was able to save the elderly king. He continues to be the main person the Freedom Fighters turn to whenever someone needs medical attention, and now serves as the head doctor of the Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital.

Trivia[]
- Doctor Quack's name and species is a reference to quackery, the act of fraudulent or ignorant medical practice. The usage is ironic, given that Doctor Quack is considered to be a highly skilled and competent medical doctor.
