Chuck Thorndyke

Chuck Thorndyke (チャック・ソーンダイク Chakku sōndaiku?) is a character the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. He is the paternal grandfather of Christopher Thorndyke. He is a scientist and inventor.

History
Much in the same way that Chris bonds with Sonic the Hedgehog during the latter's stay with the family, and the maid Ella bonds with Cream the Rabbit and Amy Rose, Chuck forms a close friendship with Tails, who shares his love of inventing and mechanics. It was partially thanks to Chuck that the X Tornadowas made, as well as the rescue of Cream and Cheese in episode 2.

Personality
Chuck is good-humored and witty, but acts eccentric when overexcited. He is always helping Chris, Sonic and the gang out whenever they need help.

Trivia

 * He bears an uncanny resemblance to Christopher Lloyd's character Emmet "Doc" Brown from the Back to the Futuretrilogy and animated series spin-off.

 * Chuck was very young when his son, Nelson was born because Chuck is 61 in Series 2 and Nelson is 49 years old in Season 2. He was only 12 years old.
