An organic battery is a subject that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a key component of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's early Badnik designs.
Description[]
Organic batteries serve as the "power sources" for Badniks.[1] The presence of an organic battery also acts as a defense mechanism: Sonic is forced to hold back the strength of his Spin Attacks for fear of harming the captive within.[2]
Some more advanced Badniks, in particular Prime Badniks,[3] Trooper Badniks,[2] and the Metallix series, do not possess organic batteries.
Following Robotnik's downfall and establishment of a new base on Flickies' Island, the majority of subsequent Badniks used Flickies as their organic batteries. The Flickies apparently were ideally suited to be organic batteries, and the new Badniks were harder to defeat than Robotnik's previous models.[4]
