Drago Wolf is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a mobian wolf who was a former member of the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters. He was the wild card of the group; often disobeying orders and doing things his way.
Appearance[]
Drago is a tall white mobian wolf with blue eyes. He tends to wear a purple or blue shirt with torn-off sleeves, belt, boots and on occasion some form of wristband, though later depictions also include pants. In his first appearance, he was somewhat more rounded; he gradually became more muscled and angular. Originally, he was depicted with light blue and white fur, rather than white simply shaded with blue. As a Robian, Drago appeared as a silver metallic version of himself, devoid of any other color. His body-particularly his head-gained a number of jagged fins in place of fur. This form was later duplicated in a robotic duplicate of "Mecha Drago." As a member of Soumerca Dark Egg Legion, Drago's attire changed to include a sleeveless purple uniform with horizontal jagged stripes with two gold buttons in the center. His arms were also replaced with new cybernetic ones with sharp claws, and his eyes changed color to yellow with black slits, giving him a more feral and sinister appearance.
History[]
Betrayal[]
Tired from constant work and desiring an easy life, Drago betrayed the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters and joined Dr. Robotnik. Through abuse and manipulation, Drago convinced his current girlfriend Hershey to go into Robotropolis wearing a Sonic suit claiming that he had "valuable information" on how to stop Robotnik's nephew, Snively, once and for all.[1] Unbeknownst to Hershey, the suit contained an optical device that caused her to believe that anyone she saw was Snively. Because of this, Hershey nearly killed Sally, believing all the while that she was killing Snively. When Hershey realized that she was the cause of Sally's near-death experience, the relationship was quickly ended. Drago attempted to escape, but was soon captured and sent to the Devil's Gulag with several other prisoners.[2]
Jail Breakout[]
After the mass jailbreak from the Devil's Gulag, Drago teamed up with Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg and the Fearsome Foursome, along with Snively, Warlord Kodos Lion, and Uma Arachnis. This larger group abducted the scientist Nate Morgan, only to lose him to Sonic and King Acorn's Secret Service. Drago and his brute allies were recaptured, but escaped and laid low for a while, until they joined forces with Robotnik II. This caused them to be roboticized shortly thereafter they were caught in an exploding building.
Apparently, he and his allies managed to escape destruction and were later de-robotized by the Bem. Robotnik II located robots that looked similar to the Robian versions of Drago and company, but they may only have been duplicated. Nevertheless, the duplicates had recordings of Drago and company allying themselves with the entity known as Anonymous.
Member of the Destructix[]
It was revealed that these were only duplicates when the real Drago and his allies-renamed the Destructix-returned and attempted to steal Mammoth Mogul's Chaos Emerald from Merlin Prower, only to be defeated by the combined Freedom Fighters and Chaotix. They were imprisoned yet again, only to be liberated by Mogul after he escaped from his Emerald. The Destructix and their master then battled Ixis Naugus, the Arachne Clan, and the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix, briefly teaming up with Naugus' forces until Dr. Eggman arrived and captured the villains using the weapons of his Egg Fleet. Dr. Finitevus later released the Destructix to serve as his own minions on Angel Island, where they were briefly joined by Scourge the Hedgehog and Fiona Fox. When Super Sonic and Enerjak faced off above Angel Island, Drago and the other Destructix left using a Warp Ring. They soon returned working as mercenaries for Mammoth Mogul, who used them to discredit Sonic and the Freedom Fighters by orchestrating a scene in the center of his new casino. Drago witnessed Sleuth confess to the whole operation, but said that Mogul wasn't responsible, which the canine later explained was a new way of getting paid by Mogul for humiliating Sonic to Drago.[3]
Serving the Eggman Empire[]
A while afterward, Drago left the Destructix to work for the Eggman Empire once again, but this time as one of the two joint Grandmasters of a Dark Egg Legion chapter operating in the Mystic Ruins, an ancient settlement from the Knuckles Clan. His companion Grandmaster was disgraced former Felidae champion Razorklaw, fitting given that the ruins the two claimed as their base was right between each one's former people. When Princess Sally came investigating their domain, the two Grandmasters pursued her, and she was finally forced to surrender after finding herself outnumbered. Believing her at his mercy, Drago proceeded to gloat, unaware that Sally was tricking him into spilling out information for her. After telling her Razorklaw's origin, he attempted to break her spirit with the suggestion of framing her for his theft of the Ancient Onyx-an artifact sacred to new Wolf Pack Nation and Felidae alike-and thus instigating a war, or killing her and involving New Mobotropolis in the conflict as well. Razorklaw was anxious to kill Sally immediately, but he stopped him, due to the fact he wanted to torment her before eliminating her. However, he changed his mind after Sonic arrived with the Wolf Pack and an armed group of Felidae in tow. Before he or Razorklaw could harm Sally, Big the Cat invaded their control room, and sent Drago flying through a wall with a single punch. Stunned, Drago was aided by several Legionnaires-including Wolves who had been missing when the nation formed-only to receive a retreat order from Razorklaw. Struggling to maintain a professional grip on the situation, Drago ordered his men to evacuate to the secret bunker, leaving the attackers with their victory.
Meetings with Eggman[]
After he (like all other Grandmasters) received a falsified message from Eggman's nephew Snively, stating that Sonic the Hedgehog had finished off Eggman as the Death Egg Mark 2 plummeted into the ocean, Drago started harassing one of Razorklaw's soldiers, as Razorklaw confronted him they were teleported to a table in the Death Egg's conference room, along with the other ten equally-surprised Grandmasters. Eggman himself appeared, confirming that he was neither dead nor had his Empire fallen. Drago angrily shouted at him, demanding that he be treated with more respect because of his cybernetic limbs, but backed down when Eggman mentioned the explosives he planted in them. Eggman then presented Mecha Sally and the Metal Series to the Grandmasters, something that Drago found amusing to the point of laughter, and after reasserting his control over the Grandmasters, he set a new task before them, instructing them to search for and recover his missing Blue Chaos Emerald while also continuing to expand their own territories. Drago, Razorklaw, and the other Grandmasters were then dismissed and forcefully returned to their posts to resume their duties. (SU: #37)
With the Death Egg Mark 2 damaged and in need of more fuel and supplies, Eggman set out for Drago's base in Soumerca, only to learn from Drago and Razorklaw that it was unfinished due to the antagonism the Soumerca Dark Egg Legion had suffered from both the Felidae and the Wolf Pack Nation. Eggman decided to solve the problem by having Mecha Sally kidnap Grand Chief Lupe and Queen Hathor, intending to start a war between the two factions as they blamed each other for the disappearance of their leaders. Hathor was able to escape with Lupe's help, but was forced to leave her royal robe behind, and the ever-vain Drago quickly incorporated it into his wardrobe. After Team Fighters arrived and Eggman was forced to prepare an early launch, Drago went to visit Lupe and gloated over his prospects as a Grandmaster. When Lupe reminded him of Eggman's sadistic amusement at forcing loved ones to fight each other, she questioned what he thought Eggman would do with her once she had undergone Legionization. Drago mused that she would probably be turned over to him to serve as his Kommissar, only for Lupe to suggest that she was more likely to be appointed the new Grandmaster. In response to her claim that he would be lucky if Eggman only decided to demote him, Drago grew agitated, arguing that Eggman valued him more than that. Sadly, Drago's overestimation of his own abilities ran true, as he was attacked and swiftly knocked out by Lyco. (StH: #237, #238)
Personality[]
Drago is a loud, self-serving, overconfident thug that loves to bully people weaker than him, but will grovel and fold when faced with a stronger opponent. Drago loves to dominate other people, he constantly abused and demeaned Hershey throughout their relationship. He has an inflated sense of self-worth and believes he deserves an easy life and praise from his employers, betraying the Wolf Pack for Robotnik's promise of being made a rich duke of Mobius.
When interacting with women, Drago uses lingo like "Toots" and "Doll", regardless of his relationship with them.
Powers and abilities[]
During his time with the wolf pack, Drago frequently operated firearms including a flamethrower. Drago has some degree of charisma given he was able to make Hershey fall in love with him. After his Legionization, he gained a pair of clawed arms.
Weaknesses[]
Despite his muscular physique, Drago is easily bested by most of his opponents. He's also cowardly and can get insecure when his true insignificance to his employers is brought up by others.
Relationships[]
Romance[]
Hershey Cat[]
Drago has never been confirmed to have had a serious relationship with anyone. However, during the End Game period, he had a 'fling' with Hershey in order to use her to kill Sally making her think she was actually killing Snively, she cut the rope, making her fall to her apparent death. Hershey, later finding out the terrible truth, burst out to tears since she truly loved him, while Drago only cared about being a Duke of mobius. Later on, Hershey got payback by attacking Drago, almost throwing a stone into his face. Hershey explained everything to Sonic and was forgiven.
