Nack the Weasel is a major antagonist in Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series.
He is a greedy bounty hunter who is often pitted against Sonic while trying to pursue profit. To that end, he has worked for both versions of Dr. Robotnik and Mammoth Mogul, while also leading his own squad known as the Hooligans.
History[]
Archie Comics[]
Pre-Super Genesis Wave[]
In the Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-off comic series published by Archie Comics, Nack is a dangerous weasel bounty hunter and assassin, willing to do any evil to get the job done. He has frequently worked as a hit man for Eggman.
While clumsy, Nack is generally more malicious than his game counterpart, going as far as killing his three cousins for failing him, then cracking a joke about it.
In this media, he also has a sister named Nic the Weasel, who he does not get along well at times, though they have worked with each other in the past. The supplementary material implies that Nic was eventually killed by her brother. Nack is a frequent foe of Sonic and the other Freedom Fighters, has a grudge against Sally Acorn after failing to take her as hostage and even once tried to assassinate pop singer, Mina Mongoose at a concert.
He has been known to take jobs from multiple clients, including Mammoth Mogul and especially Doctor Robotnik. He is also often a part of his own team named the Hooligans, along with Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear.
Post-Super Genesis Wave[]
After the reboot, Nack remained the leader of Team Hooligan and continued to be a frequent ally of Eggman, but was more of a comedic bumbler in line with his game counterpart.
