Colonel Sponz Colonel Sponz (Colonel Sponsz) is a character from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé. Former Bordurian Chief of Police of Szohôd, Sponz masterminded the plot to kidnap Professor Calculus in The Calculus Affair. Sponz intended to force Calculus to hand over his plans for the ultrasound weapon, or be imprisoned in Borduria for the rest of his life if the proposition is refused. In Tintin and the Picaros, Sponz is "lent" as an advisor to General Tapioca, under the pseudonym Colonel Esponja. Sponz forges documents laying out a plan to assassinate Tapioca and plants them into the possession of a touring Bianca Castafiore, framing her as a conspirator. As Castafiore paid a disastrous visit to Haddock in The Castafiore Emerald, Sponz frames Tintin, Haddock, and Calculus as well, out of revenge for the humiliation they bestowed upon him in The Calculus Affair. Sponz is finally revealed after Alcazar's Picaros take over the country, and, defeated once again, is shipped off to Borduria. Image File history File links Sponsz. ...
