Mobster Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, Jr. is the most well-known member of the Corinthos family. He is the son of Adela Corinthos and Mike Corbin (born Michael Corinthos, Sr). According to Mike, there was a time in his life when he was in some money trouble with people looking for him. He then decided to change his name from Corinthos to Corbin (this surname has now been shown to likely be Mike's maternal maiden name).

While growing up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Mike left and divorced Adela when Sonny was a young age. Adela began an affair with attorney Trevor Lansing, who was married at the time, and became pregnant with Sonny's brother, Ric Lansing. After Adela left Trevor she and Sonny were physically abused by her next husband, NYPD Det. Deke Woods who eventually murdered her.

Years later in 1993, Sonny came to Port Charles, as the owner of a strip club called The Paradise Lounge and Frank Smith's right hand man in his mob business. In 1994, Frank ordered Sonny to have Luke Spencer taken out. Sonny instead joined allegiances with Luke and they agreed to deal with Smith once and for all. When Sonny succeed in setting Frank up to be murdered he decided he would take over as head of Smith's organization; a position he has held on and off for two decades. In 1996, Sonny's father Mike, arrived in Port Charles as Luke's personal driver. When Sonny discovered Mike was his father he wanted nothing to do with him and continually pushed Mike away. After much time, they managed to come to somewhat of an understanding.

Also in the 90s, after the closing of his strip club, Sonny bought and moved into Penthouse #1 at the Harborview Towers. He was joined by close friend, Stone Cates and his true love, Brenda Barrett. Stone (who was dying from AIDS) is cared for by Sonny and his girlfriend Robin Scorpio in the penthouse until his death.

Sonny also developed a rocky relationship with Carly Spencer. Nevertheless, the two fell in love and first married in the year 2000. This leads Sonny to adopt Carly's son, Michael Alan Corinthos, III, who was also Sonny's namesake.

In 2001, Mike's old flame, the con artist Janine Matthews came to town, and was followed by her daughter Courtney Matthews. Janine revealed she and Mike had a fling in Las Vegas, and Courtney was the result. Mike had walked out on them just as he did with Sonny, but Janine told Courtney that Mike had died. Courtney then immediately reconciled with Mike and Sonny became a loving, but overly controlling half-brother. A few months later, Sonny discovered he had yet another half-sibling when Ric moved to Port Charles.

During Sonny's tumultuous relationship with Carly, he had a one night stand with his attorney Alexis Davis, which produced a daughter, Kristina Adela Corinthis-Davis. Due to the fear of Sonny's lifestyle as a known mob boss, Alexis prevented the true paternity of her daughter from becoming public for over a year.

In the early 2000s, as a cover for his mob activity, Sonny created Corinthos Coffee, which has since become a major coffee import/export business, with the use and ownership of most warehouses on The Waterfront, and his popular coffee served in most restaurants, including the former Sonny's Coffee Shop and still popular Perks Coffee.

In 2003, Sonny and Carly celebrated the birth of their own son Morgan Stone Corinthos whom they named after their best friend Jason Morgan. In 2004, Sonny had an affair with Sam McCall, who became pregnant. She decided to name the child Lila McCall. In 2004, Kristina developed leukemia and Sonny found out that Kristina was his daughter. Kristina's only hope was to get the stem cells from Lila. Unfortunately, Sam went into early labor and baby Lila was stillborn. Lila's stem cells were then used to save Kristina's life and Sonny was overjoyed to learn that he still gained another daughter.

In January 2005, Sonny surprises his family with the purchase of Greystone Manor, a mansion Michael and Kristina asked Santa for Christmas, and which he could arrange proper security.

A few years later Courtney began an affair with Nikolas Cassadine and became pregnant. However when she contracted the encephalitis virus that was going around town in 2006, she dies right after giving birth to their son whom Nikolas later named Spencer Stefan Niklosovich Cassadine. Mike was especially heartbroken at the loss of his daughter.

In 2009, Olivia Falconeri came to town and was followed by her son, Dante Angelo Falconeri. When Dante, a cop, infiltrated Sonny's organization Olivia was forced to reveal Dante was their son from when they were teenagers in Bensonhurst. Dante was furious to learn that the infamous mob boss was his father, but both eventually formed a relationship. Dante and his mother then settled in Port Charles with Dante taking a job at the PCPD and eventually marrying Lulu Spencer. Together they now have a son whom they named Rocco Falconeri.

That same year, Sonny expanded his mob empire with the purchase of Pozzulo's Italian restaurant, which he uses as his headquarters.

In 2011, Sonny married his long-time love Brenda Barrett, but they divorced later that year.

In 2014, Sonny had a one-night-stand with Ava Jerome, which led to the birth of his third daughter, Avery Jerome-Corinthos.

On October 14, 2015, Sonny and Carly married for the fourth time. Sadly, in 2016, their son, Morgan was killed in a car bombing. On September 30, 2019, Sonny and Carly welcomed their second child together, a daughter named, Donna Courtney Corinthos.

In February 2020, Michael discovered he was a father to a son who he renamed Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos (originally named Jonah Michael Corinthos, and the Quartermaine surname was eventually dropped), from a tempestuous romance with town troublemaker, Nelle Benson. Michael later entered into a marriage of convenience with Willow Tait in order to help him win custody of Wiley. They would eventually annul their marriage, but are since back together, engaged, and have a daughter, Amelia Grace Corinthos, born 2023.

Tragedy stuck the Corinthos clan on September 17, 2020, when Sonny's father, Mike died from pneumonia caused by Alzheimers.

In January 2021, after killing Julian Jerome, Sonny goes missing when the bridge he was on collapsed. He was declared deceased, with the authorities performing search and recovery. Sonny was alive, having been found unconscious and hypothermic with apparent amnesia. He was taken in by Lenny and Phyllis Caulfield, and given a job and board at The Tan-O in Nixon Falls, Pennsylvania. He was found 3 months later by Nina Reeves, visiting Phyllis, but decided to keep quiet that he was alive partially in an act of revenge against Carly for attempting to keep her away from their mutual grandson.

In September, a fire at The Tan-O causes Sonny's memory to return, and he returns to Port Charles. He arrived 3 hours after Carly and Jason got married, to save the business, and was happily reunited with his children. Nina's knowledge of the truth came out and when Carly caught Sonny in bed with Nina, she started divorce proceedings, and he agreed to move back into his old penthouse so she could have the manor.

The Corinthos family continued to expand with the arrival of Mike's cousin Gladys Corbin. Gladys' thought dead Marine veteran son, Brando Corbin, was also discovered alive. He was brought into the Sonny's confidence to act as a mole within the Renault Organization. As a reward for helping for helping Dante return home safe from Turkey, Sonny had Dev Cerci legally claimed as Brando's son. This was short lived as Dev was killed in November 2020 after a bomb went off at The Floating Rib.

After months of attraction and flirtation, Brando slept with his cousin Michael's ex-fiance Sasha Gilmore, who later found out she was pregnant. They were ecstatic about the news, but had to keep the paternity a secret due to Cyrus Renault's jealousy. Their son, Liam Mike Corbin, was born in November 2021, and unfortunately died a month later from brain damage due to lack of oxygen during labor. In March 2022, Brando and Sasha get away to Niagara Falls together, and end up eloping. Unfortunately Brando is murdered by The Hook serial killer in September 2022.

In April 2023, Michael married Willow for the second time. Later that year in October, Sonny tied the knot with Nina Reeves.
