Snively Kintobor is a character from the fictional SatAM and Archie comics universes based on the Sonic the Hedgehog character. In the SatAM cartoon, Snively was voiced by Charlie Adler. The cowardly nephew of Dr. Robotnik, Snively was reduced to a lackey shortly before his uncle's takeover of the Kingdom of Acorn of Mobius, and spent the next ten years serving him. At the time of the takeover, Snively had hair, but Sonic rushed past him causing him to lose it, leaving only a few strands, thus Snively has personal reasons for loathing the hedgehog. Physically abused by Robotnik, Snively began planning against him and, following his Uncle's defeat, attempted to seize power himself.
In the planned third season of SatAM, Snively was to have tried to rule Robotroplis, but fail. He would then try to free Ixis Naugus to get him to help, and in the process, free Robotnik and King Acorn by mistake. Reduced once again, not simply to a lackey but to an insignificant nothing, Snively would rebel against Naugus and Robotnik and join Sonic and the Freedom Fighters. Unfortunately, competition with the first Power Rangers television series forced SatAM off of the air after only two seasons.
[edit] Comics
In spite of the show's cancellation, Snively would remain a regular character in the Archie comics, which set up its own continuity. The comic version of Snively, who is the son of Ivo's brother Colin, is no less the same as his animated counterpart, differing only in color scheme. Throughout the early half of the comic's run, Snively's outfit was usually blue and brown rather than two shades of green as the animated series showed, although he did switch to his original color scheme on seldom occasions.
In the Archie continuity, Snively himself was responsible for the death of the original Robotnik in the EndGame storyline. Changing the DNA-based organic coding in the Ultimate Annihilator so that it would only affect Robotnik, Snively successfully killed him. Unfortunately, afterwards he landed in jail until his escape amongst other Sonic villains. He was then deemed "in charge" of the evil group due to his experience with Robotnik and the fact that he led the others to believe that he broke them out (despite the fact that he really had no idea what had allowed them to escape).
Because he was promised revenge against his father, Snively later worked as Robo-Robotnik's assistant and allowed himself to be roboticized in a failed attempt to get the Overlanders to let themselves be roboticized. However, he was later restored to flesh by Ceneca-9009.
After the Xorda conflict of issues #124-5, Snively disappeared into obscurity, but later returned to help the Freedom Fighters in issue #152. He worked, for a time, as a member of the "Brain Trust" subdivision of the Freedom Fighters, but, more recently, has rejoined Eggman (issue #162). Upon betraying the Mobians, Snively has adopted a style of dress identical to Eggman's, although with a green coat, instead of red. He was last seen commanding a fleet of airships similar to those found in Sonic Heroes. Notably, aside from the new outfit, Snively is the only character in the comic directly from SatAM whose appearance remains the same (although such was not always the case, as shown in issue #97; there, Snively was drawn rather off-model, which angered many fans).
Snively was also intended to serve as Robotnik's sidekick in Sonic the Comic (the European Sonic comic book). But since Nigel Kitching was unable to obtain the rights to using the character, he instead created a similar character named Grimer Wormtongue.
