   Empire City (エンパイアシティ Enpaia Shiti?) is a Town Stage that appears in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed. It is an urban metropolis and a melting pot of diverse folk and ideas, where those who dream of making it big gather. Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip visited Empire City during their quest to restore the planet following Dark Gaia's awakening.

   Description Empire City is a high-rise metropolis based off the hustling and bustling American city of New York City. It also retaining features from other famous cities in the U.S. such as the fountain that bears a resemblance to the Buckingham Fountain in Chicago. Endless highways, massive skyscrapers, and urban surroundings characterize Empire City, with bridges similar to the George Washington Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and the Verrazano Bridge, as well as tunnels similar to the Lincoln Tunnel. The main stage of the city is very reminiscent of Central Park.

   History Sonic Unleashed During the beginning of Sonic Unleashed, Empire City's continent was torn away from the earth's mantle when Dr. Eggman awoke Dark Gaia, resulting in the planet shattering into pieces.

   During this crisis, Empire City was threatened to be overrun by Dark Gaia's Minions. Amidst this chaos, however, Sonic the Werehog arrived in Empire City with Chip and cleared out Dark Gaia's Minions in Skyscraper Scamper which forced the monsters to retreat. A while later, Eggman decided to have his robot army invade Empire City. Fortunately, once hearing reports about the attack, Sonic and Chip returned to Empire City and drove off the invading forces, saving Empire City once more.

   Sometime later, Empire City and its continent were returned to their proper place when Sonic and Chip used the Gaia Temple in Shamar and the Chaos Emeralds to restore their fragment of the planet.

   Sunset City[2] is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a large merchant city on Earth that is famous for its jewel markets.

   Description Sunset City is a large city located at the coast of a bay. It has a large central hub with many buildings, both short and tall. The most noticeable characteristic part of the city is the its red, narrow bridge across the river at the bay that lies to the south. The bridge itself is located on the east side of the Grand Gold Flicky Hotel. It is also known for being a major merchant hub, which includes dazzling jewel markets. The landscapes on the outskirts of the city resemble Green Hill.[3]

   History Past SunsetCity Sunset City being rebuilt, from Sonic the Hedgehog #19.

   Originally, Sunset City was a major merchant hub. Early on during the Eggman War however, Sunset City was attacked by Badniks and heavily damaged. However, its citizens stayed strong, and in the aftermath of the Eggman War, the city began to rebuilt with aid from the Restoration.[3]

   Crisis City and Untold Tales of the Metal Virus Annual2020Sunset City Nite and Don listen to distressed calls as Sunset City falls victim to the Metal Virus, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2020.

   When Dr. Eggman's Faceship headed towards Sunset City to create a Zombot outbreak there, Team Dark and Sonic the Hedgehog began heading to Sunset City to intercept Eggman.[2] In spite of the heroes' efforts though, a colossal Zombot outbreak erupted in Sunset City when Eggman unleashed his Metal Virus. Soon, the city was overrun by hordes of citizens transformed into Zombots. Nite the Owl tried beginning his radio show during these hours and got several calls from Sunset City civilians on how they were under attack by Zombots. After a Restoration representative got in touch with Nite, he used the show to broadcast an emergency message to survivors to gather at the Grand Gold Flicky Hotel.[4] Eventually, Shadow left on his own to find a transport to take the survivors away in. Later, when Sonic came to Sunset City and began searching for survivors, he tried to clear out some Zombots keeping some civilians trapped in a building. However, Omega beat Sonic to it. Sonic then tried to get Omega to go easy on the Zombots. Although Omega trumped Sonic's reasoning, his attacks appeared unable to really damage the Zombots. Rouge then appeared and told Sonic to bring the survivors to the Grand Gold Flicky Hotel, where they were organizing survivors. With Omega's help, Sonic got the survivors out of the building.[3]

   When Sonic then arrived at the hotel after clearing a path to it for the survivors, Rouge was shown coordinating the city's officers, who held off the Zombots with Burst Wispons. There, Rouge noticed the Metal Virus gunk on Sonic, who revealed that he had been infected, but was able to keep his infection in check by running, and that Eggman was losing control over the Zombots. When the Zombots came after the fleeing survivors however, Sonic jumped into action and saved the survivors by keeping the Zombots at bay. Meanwhile, Omega was having trouble keeping the Zombots, who were coming from two directions, from advancing. Just as Sonic tried to help Omega though, Shadow arrived with a truck for the survivors, plowing through the Zombots in the way. Underneath the bridge that he drove over sat Big the Cat, who was upset that he could not find Froggy. He paid no attention to the Zombots that fell around him.[5] After then a brief argument with Shadow, Sonic left the city to burn his infection off, leaving Team Dark to evacuate the civilians. Shadow then had Omega safeguard the truck while Rouge oversaw the evacuation. In the meantime, Shadow engaged the Zombots. However, Shadow soon got infected from touching the Zombots. With Shadow unwilling to retreat, Rouge tried getting Omega to cover Shadow. Unfortunately, Omega was too busy keeping the Zombots away from the truck, and Shadow was soon overwhelmed by the sheer number of Zombots and became one himself. A moment later, Sonic came back, only to be attacked by a Zombot Shadow.[3]

   SunsetCityZombots Sonic prepares to fight the Sunset City Zombots, from Sonic the Hedgehog #20.

   Sonic fought Shadow and soon checked in with Rouge to make sure that all the uninfected citizens were inside of the truck. Once all of the citizens were secured, Rouge drove off with them while Omega stayed behind to fight more Zombots. After Omega detected Sonic's infection growing, he requested for him to retreat. Sonic did not want to leave a friend behind but Omega denied that they actually were friends. Sonic requested for them both to retreat but Omega refused, rather wishing to be destroyed than run. Eventually, Omega sustained heavy damage to his torso and arms while Sonic was nearly overpowered by Shadow. Tails and Silver soon arrived at Sunset City via the Tornado and sought out Team Dark and Sonic. Once they found Sonic and Omega surrounded, Silver used his psychokinesis to hold up all of the Zombots there, clearing a path for Sonic to run and burn off his infection. Tails subsequently removed Omega's head from his damaged body. After Silver released all of the Zombots, Shadow lunged at him. Silver narrowly dodged this attack and fled the scene with Tails and Omega.[6]

   Zeena soon visited Sunset City and took control over the many Zombots there, having them carry her around with a makeshift high chair. She found immense disappointment in the city's shopping offers, believing that it was a wasteland before she arrived. When Zeena asked an uninfected citizen why the shopping was not any better, he replied that nothing could suit something as radiant as her. She found this to be a good answer and told him that he would be spared for another hour, while the rest of them were to praise Zeena's name. Cream the Rabbit and Gemerl arrived in the city to intercept Zeena. She tried controlling Gemerl to attack Cream but after the robot managed to destroy his wireless, she controlled him with her tether ability instead. Zeena soon tossed the robot aside and tried to have Cream infected, only for Gemerl to return at full force and fight Zeena off. When Zeena tried taking control of Gemerl again with her tether ability, he and Cream used it to restrain her and take her Chaos Emerald. Following this, Gemerl threw Zeena to a group of Zombots, leaving her to get infected as she had hurt Cream. Cream then revealed to Gemerl that she had gotten infected in the scuffle and asked him to leave her in the city; Gemerl instead threw the Chaos Emerald back through the Warp Portal and flew off with Cream, stating that he would stay with her until she was well.[7][8][9]

   After Super Sonic and Super Silver had reversed the effects of the Metal Virus all around the world, the Zombots were no more and were cured. Zeena forcibly got up from her position, yelling for the nearby citizens of the city to back away. Seeing as she could no longer control them and Zavok's plan failed, the Zeti decided to leave but warned that she will not forget what happened and they would suffer for her indignity.[10]

   Zeti Hunt! Suspecting that Sunset City would soon be attacked by the Deadly Six, the Chaotix arrived in Sunset City to await the group. However, when Restoration HQ was attacked by the Deadly Six instead, the Chaotix began hurrying to the Emeraldville Ruins to help.[11]

   Trial by Fire Espio and Vector later came to the K-TBR 199.2 radio station in Sunset City to pick up Charmy, whom they had left in Nite's care. While there, they got a tip for a case in Central City from Nite.[12]

3. #3Amy Roseconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Amy Rose. · Secondary:

   Amy Rose is a longtime friend and self-proclaimed girlfriend of Sonic the Hedgehog. She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog who wields her large Piko Piko Hammer in combat. She is also the former organizer of the Resistance and the former leader of the Restoration.

   History Past For some time, Amy has been one of Sonic the Hedgehog's closest friends and most trusted allies, as well as his biggest admirer due to her massive crush on him. She would often aid him in his battles against the forces of the Eggman Empire and its emperor, Dr. Eggman. (StH: #1).

   She also had her own house and a car named Breeze.

   Seasons of Chaos At some point she recently joined Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails on the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds.

   Amy's New Hobby Classic Amy house Amy's residence

   Some time after Tails went on an adventure with Sonic, Tails was invited over for some tea and biscuits. (FCBD 2021)

   Along the way, she befriended Cream the Rabbit, having numerous adventures with her. (StH: #18)

   The Eggman War In the recent past, after Sonic got captured by Dr. Eggman, who was able to seize control over most of the world in doing so, Amy came to serve as second-in-command of a resistance group that Knuckles the Echidna commandeered (although it was Amy who kept the group organized). Later on, after being reunited with Sonic, she, alongside the rest of the Resistance, defeated Dr. Eggman, thus ending the Eggman Empire's reign over the world. (StH: #1, #2)

   Fallout After the war, Amy and the Resistance set out to clean up from the war. However, with the Eggman Empire's Badniks being everywhere and randomly attacking anyone they came across, Amy and the Resistance had to work from a centralized, organized position that would allow them to combat the Badniks more effectively. (StH: #2)

   Croquette Bomber Performed Amy and Sonic team up to take down a Blowfish Transporter.

   Eventually, Amy heard that Sonic and Tails had saved a town from some Badniks. Hoping to re-recruit Sonic for the Resistance's cause, Amy caught up to Sonic at another town under siege. There, she helped him defeat the Super Badnik, Death Crab. Sonic was then about to head to the next town when Amy asked him to rejoin the Resistance and explained why they needed him. However, Sonic declined Amy's offer because he had figured out something was making the world's Badniks more cohesive, which Amy saw as further proof to join the Resistance, whereas he believed that it was better to keep moving and get to the bottom of the situation.

   Soon, Amy and Sonic were alerted of a Badnik army mostly consisting of Egg Pawns and Egg Walkers invading the town from the west. While Sonic cleared out most of the first wave, Amy went to the town where she rallied the town's militia, who was able to clear out the remaining Badniks that slipped past Sonic, while organizing the evacuation efforts. Amy then proceeded to thin out the remaining Badnik horde with Sonic, still requesting for him to reconsider joining. After she and Sonic managed to destroy the source of the Badniks in the form of a Blowfish Transporter, Amy came to terms with Sonic not wanting to join as she did not wish to change what she loved about him. Following this, she requested for Sonic to help Knuckles the Echidna in a nearby town as she had not heard from him in a while, which Sonic accepted. (StH: #2)

   The Battle for Angel Island Resistance HQ Issue 7 Amy, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in Resistance HQ.

   Meeting with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in Resistance HQ, Amy learned from Sonic that Neo Metal Sonic was the ringleader behind the recent organized Badnik attacks. As it turned out, the robot had taken over as head of the Eggman Empire and was currently trying to conquer the world for Dr. Eggman with an unknown plan. In an effort to undermine Neo Metal Sonic's scheme, Amy and Knuckles decided to help Sonic and Tails search for any old plans that could tell them what Neo Metal Sonic was up to. (StH: #7)

   Amy commands the teams Amy commands the teams.

   After Sonic had successfully infiltrated an Eggman base and discovered alongside Silver the Hedgehog and Whisper the Wolf what Neo Metal Sonic was up to, all of the Resistance's allies were called to Resistance HQ. As Neo Metal Sonic had conquered Angel Island and turned it into a flying fortress as well as secured the Master Emerald for himself, Amy laid out a plan on how they could liberate the island: team three (Sonic and Knuckles) would confront Neo and secure the Master Emerald while team one (Blaze the Cat as Burning Blaze) and team two (everyone else) focused on breaking the Egg Fleet's control over the island. (StH: #9)

   On their way to Angel Island aboard a Resistance battleship, Amy had a talk with Blaze. When Blaze wondered if their lonesome ally Whisper could be trusted, Amy reminded her that she used to be a lone wolf herself. Reflecting on how far she had come, Blaze agreed with Amy that they would win the day after assuring her that she would be careful. Soon after, however, the Egg Fleet began bombarding their ship. Fortunately, Amy and her allies made it off their ship before it crashed. Landing safely on Angel Island, Amy began coordinating her team minus Shadow the Hedgehog, who went off on his own. Their group focused on taking out the Egg Fleet's guns; however, while Amy fought by Tails' side, he noticed that they were not making much progress. As Tails looked for a smarter approach, Amy commanded the Resistance to form up on Tails while checking up on Blaze, who managed to destroy the left wing unit attached to Angel Island. Soon after, Tails used an Egg Fleet battleship to destroy the last wing unit attached to the island. Being on the falling wing unit, Amy was rescued by Rouge the Bat and brought onboard the battleship that Tails had secured. Meanwhile, Amy heard from Rouge that the absent Shadow had probably gone after Neo Metal Sonic himself, which Amy figured may not have been such a bad idea since Sonic and Knuckles could use the back-up. (StH: #9, #10)

   Amy and Tangle the Lemur soon after found Blaze above Angel Island when the island began to fall and got her onboard the battleship. Not long after, Amy received a call from Knuckles, who requested Burning Blaze's aid to take down Neo Metal Sonic, who had used the Master Emerald along with Sonic's bio-data and Shadow's bio-data, to transform into Master Overlord; however, Amy had to turn down Knuckles' request as Blaze had already used up her transformation. When Master Overlord approached the battleship, Amy was instructed by Knuckles to force the robot towards Angel Island while he focused on taking the Master Emerald back from him. With an opening provided by Sonic, Amy and her friends joined the fray and did as Knuckles commanded. During the battle, Amy got shaken off Master Overlord, but was rescued by Silver with his psychokinesis. Knuckles subsequently got the Master Emerald away from Master Overlord and brought it back to Angel Island, which returned the island to the sky while Master Overlord powered down to his normal Metal Sonic form. With the battle over, Amy was brought down on Angel Island where she told an excited Tangle that this adventure was nothing new to them. (StH: #11)

   While Tails worked on repairing the Egg Fleet battleship that they used so that they could use it to bring everyone home, Amy took inventory of what was left on it since Knuckles would find it a bore. Doing so, she found lots of materials to help the Resistance with the reconstruction efforts. When Sonic then came to check on her, Amy told him what she was up to, but Sonic revealed that Knuckles had decided to disband the Resistance, much to Amy's annoyance. Afterwards, the Chaotix come to Amy to collect the payment for their services. Being unprepared for this request, Amy tried insisting that being part of the Resistance was its own reward while Sonic left her. (StH: #12)

   Victory Garden At some point, Amy inspired Silver to start his own vegetable garden in a ruined city. She would later on tell Blaze where to find Silver.[4]

   Infection Right after the disbandment of the Resistance, Amy, still wanting to help in the world's recovery after the end of Eggman War, joined the Restoration. (StH: #13) Not long after that, Sonic the Hedgehog showed at Restoration HQ with a seriously hurt Silver the Hedgehog. Sonic explained that Silver got injured in a fight against Dr. Starline, who was apparently working with Dr. Eggman on a new evil plot of some kind. Worried with the possibility, Amy commented that a new attack of the same proportions of the last one could mean definitive defeat considering how they were still trying to recover the world by that point. (StH: #14)

   After providing Silver the necessary assistance, Amy tried to figure out the evil duo's next step alongside Sonic. Knowing about the Eggnet, Amy suggested they invade it in an effort to discover what the enemy was up to, which could be easily done using the abandoned base of Echo Mine. With this new target in mind, Sonic prepared to depart to the mission, with him even inviting Amy to go with him, which she accepted. Arriving at the Echo Mine, the hedgehogs explored it, soon finding what seemed to be some kind of abandoned computer. Menaging to turn on the computer and hack into the Eggnet, Amy found archives that talked abou a spaceship, one that strongly ressembled the Space Colony ARK, whose main goal was to "payload distribution". Before she could learn more, however, a giant tank piloted by Rough and Tumble appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the computer.

   Sonic planning with Amy Amy and Sonic planning to use the pit to their advantage.

   Amy, using her Piko Piko Hammer, tried to stop the tank by destroying its drill, which proved worthless since the vehicle was to resistant. Taking she with him, Sonic then ran through the mines at top speed until they reached a colossal pit. Deciding to use it to their advantage, he broughted Amy in from to the rear of the tank as soon as Rough and Tumble arrived and then threwed her up to the vehicle's cockpit. Using her hammer again, she attacked the cockpit while Sonic attacked the tank's treads. It utimately fell in the said pit, but Rough and Tumble still menaged to escape. Revealing some kind of backup backpack delivered to them by Eggman in case the tank failed, the evil duo tried to use the unknown weapon to destroy the heroes. However, what came out of the backpacks was some kind of metallic liquid, which infested Rough and Tumble's Bodies in mere seconds, turning them into mindless robocitized zombies. (StH: #15)

   Amy then attacked the zombot Rough with all of her streght, accidentaly ripping out his arm. Devastated, she even apologized to him, but that was before he started regenerating his entire arm without any effort. An intense battle occurred, with Sonic menaging to push both zombots to the pit. That action of touching them, however, was more than enough for the Metal Virus to inffect the hedgehog, which terrified Amy to the point of despair, since the Virus was spreading fast. She was even willing to be left in the mines, asking for Sonic to look out for Tails' help. Despite all this, she still menaged to pass on the discovery of the ARK-like ship. (StH: #16)

   Crisis City In the aftermath, Amy returned to the Restoration HQ, continuing to handle her paperwork normally. One day, however, one of the Restoration members came to her with a phone call from Vector the Crocodile, the leader of the Chaotix Detective Agency. Seeming somewhat hectic, he told her that Dr. Eggman attacked Seaside City with his new weapon, the Metal Virus, turning everyone there into Robot Zombies. Amy proceded to call for back-up immediately, sending a battleship to help them evacuate the city and hoping Sonic would get there before it was to late. (StH: #17) The Seaside City incident was only the beggining, though, since Rouge the Bat soon called Amy asking for her to urgently send anyone she could to Sunset City, as a Zombot outbreak was also happening there. (StH: #19)

   In a desperate attempt to contain the Zombots, Amy asked Tails to help in Seaside City and Silver to help in Sunset City. Other outbreaks then started in other cities, with Amy sending different search and/or rescue teams to all the said locations. She tried to coordinate all the missions at once, which was leaving her exhausted. Regardless, she said to her fellow comrads that she wanted to see Sonic after he returns. When he came to her, she briefly talked with him about the situation, beign visibly relieve after seeing he was still alive and resisting the infection, but it didn't took long before she needed to continue to coordenate all the missions. (StH: #20)

   The Last Minute Amy continued leading the Restoration in the afterward, with the number of Zombots in the world growing day after day. There was a day, however, when Cream showed up to Amy with some cooks and tea that she prepared all by herself. Despite the recent setbacks, Cream seemed to be somewhat happy, judging by her constant smile. Curious, Amy asked her how could she be so calm during, basically, the apocalypse, which Cream answered by saying that she was determined to be strong so that other people would be inspired to be strong to, and because she was sure Amy and the others would find a way to save the world in the end. Falling into tears, Amy hugged Cream while thanking her for those words. (StH: #21)

   In the afterward, they received a call from Tails, with him saying that he went to his Tails' Lab on Central City alongside Tangle and Whisper hoping to find a cure for the Metal Virus. Amy asked if Tails wanted her to send some kind of reinforcement to Central City, with him saying that he will give her an answer after checking in with Tangle and Whisper. Amy wished Tails good luck, asked him to be careful and then finished the refreshments brought there by Cream, going back to work after that. Unfortunately, the emergency alarm was activated shortly after that, meaning that a Zombot got inside the Restoration HQ. In a desperate attempt to save the people that were taking refuge at the HQ, Amy rushed to the computer, ordering every pilot there to prepare to take-off immediatly and trying to say something to Restoration's field agents before being interrupted by Gemerl, who was flunged into the room by a Zombot, with Amy quickly using her hammer to get him off the room. Gemerl then informed Amy that 10% of the people on the HQ were already infected, with that percentage growing every second. (StH: #22)

   Vanilla asking Amy for help Vanilla begging Amy to take care of Cream.

   Amy then asked Gemerl to go get Omega's head from Tails' lab and then use his scanners to see if any Zombot tries to escape from the HQ. He initially refuse to do so, wanting to go look for Cream, but was then convinced by Amy, who said that he was the fastest one available, that Omega would be necessary to defend them in the future and that she herself would go out to look for Cream. Using her hammer to push out all Zombots that got in her way, Amy rushed to find and rescue Cream. And there was Cream, crying while trying to save her already infected mother, Vanilla, from a group of Zombots. Knowing to be done for, Vanilla begged Amy to take care of Cream, with the hedgehog bravely using her hammer to jump out of that place with Cream on her lap. Noticing that her friend was devastated, Amy tried to calm down Cream and asked her to found a seat at the battleship. (StH: #22)

   Espio and Vector then appeared, with the Chameleon informing Amy that only one out of all pilots made his way out the HQ alive. Vector tried to close the doors to the launch bay, but a Zombot Charmy appeared, targeting the battleship. Without any other options, Vector sacrificed himself by pushing Charmy out. He asked Gemerl to close the doors and leave him behind so he could contain the Zombots for some time. Before turning into a Zombot, though, Vector declared Espio the new leader of the Chaotix Detective Agency, with him and Amy watching the whole scene in extreme shock. Unfortunately, Vector's streght would allow him to break through the doors, as commented by Gemerl, which led Amy to help Espio get to the battleship faster so they could finally take-off. Later, the battleship appeared at the Central City bay, taking Tails, Tangle, Whisper and the Central City's uninfected citizens within it. (StH: #23)

   Amy then talked with Tails, informing him that the Restoration HQ had fallen, which made the fox panic since the only database with the necessary information to create a cure he had left was there, in the HQ (His lab in Central City was invaded by Zombots). Since Tails could not find a cure anymore, Sonic was their only hope now (His speed somehow allowed him to resist the infection). She was then informed that Tangle's home, Spiral Hill Village, was being attacked by the Metal Virus to, which lend her to ask Sonic to help them with the evacuation there. After the Restoration got in Spiral Hill, they started a choke point to the battleship so they could evacuate every remaining citizen while watching if any Zombot tries to attack, with Gemerl still using his scanners to prevent any infected citizen to get into the battleship like the last time. Sonic then arrived at the scene and had a brief chat with Amy, with him jooking around about his own delay and informing her that Espio, Tangle and Whisper would keep the Village's Zombots distracted while Tails and Cream rescue the citizens. She then noted that the Zombots would swarm them if they tried to retreat, which led Sonic to start thinking in a way to cover the retreat. (StH: #24)

   Tails and Cream arrived there, with Sonic trying to trash-talk with Cream only to see her acting cold. Having saw the event, Amy informed Sonic about the incident with Vanilla. Sonic told Tails that the bio-scanner that was being used by the fox to study the hedgehog's ability to resist the virus was also destroyed after a fight with Dr. Eggman, with Tails then informing everyone that there were no more citizens to be found in the village and Amy deciding to retreat after hearing all that. After Sonic left with Tails, Gemerl told Amy that he found out Sonic's level of infection was rising minute after minute, meaning he was losing his ability to resist the Metal Virus. (StH: #24)

   Soon after, everyone was to be seen in the battleship; Everyone, except Tangle. Sonic, being the last to come back, informed them that Tangle got infected and choose to be left behind so the other could escape safely. Although everyone was devastated with the bad news, Whisper's reaction was the worst, with her trying to go back to the Village while screaming her best friend's name and crying in despair. Amy tried to stop Whisper and asked Sonic to help, since that action would only make the wolf get infected to; In the end, her own wisps menaged to push her back to the battleship. Amy then called for a take-off, finally leaving Spiral Hll Village. (StH: #24)

   All or Nothing Knowing there was no safe place in the low ground anymore, Amy guided the battleship to Angel Island. Arriving there, she and Tails went off to update Knuckles about the Metal Virus' crisis. Sonic then came to them after finishing slowing down his infection, with Knuckles saying that he was annoyed about the Restoration once again leading trouble to his island. To their surprise, however, a Warp Topaz's portal opened in there, with Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline and Metal Sonic dropping out of it. Enraged, Amy prepared to attack them, but was stopped by Sonic, who questioned why would Dr. Eggman go to their territory now since he supposedly had the upper hand in this war. (StH: #25)

   Eggman then proceeded to explain that Starline had brough the Deadly Six aboard the Faceship intending to use their help to control the Zombots since they were totally out of control by now. His plan failed, however, as the Deadly Six menaged to take his Cacophonous Conch and conquer the Faceship. While Eggman was explaining himself, Espio appeared to inform them that they had just got word from Rouge, who was infiltrated on the Faceship. Amy, communicating with Rouge, informed her about the apparition of Eggman, Starline and Metal, with the bat explaining that the Faceship was being powered by the 7 Chaos Emeralds and that Zavok, the leader of the Deadly Six, deciding to give the gems to his team and sent them into different parts of the world. Rouge them said that she was using Orbot to spy the enemy, creating the possibility to plan a counterattack. (StH: #25)

   AmySilver Amy catching Silver.

   Tails then confronted Eggman about the Metal Virus' cure, with the Doctor insisting that his research didn't involve the possibility of a cure since he discovered that, as long as the Virus infected a subject, the being was condemned to die sooner or later by desintegration. Silver, critically injured, arrived confirming these words as they described accurately his future current situation. Seeing the injures Silver had, Amy rushed to him, catching the hedgehog before he could fall to the ground and pass out. Worried, she asked him where all the Ice Paradise's citizens where, since he was there trying to evacuate them. Devastated, Silver then said that he failed on his mission, that he couldn't save anyone. Falling into despair, Silver asked Amy if his future's demise was his fault. Eggman, finding this question somewhat melodramatic, asked if Silver was always like this, with Amy angrily answering that the Doctor didn't have the right to judge. (StH: #25)

   The Restoration members then started to discuss a way to put an end to the Metal Virus. Amy even suggested that, if they somehow got their hands at the 7 Chaos Emeralds, Sonic could use them to turn into Super Sonic and, with the transformation's unlimited power, destroy the Metal Virus and cure everyone (Presumably, she was talking about the Chaos Control), which Sonic didn't found that plan possible since the gems weren't omnipotent, at least not literally. Eggman noted that taking the Chaos Emeralds from the Deadly Six would be almost impossible, with her replying that they needed to take one step at a time a that she wasn't hearing him come up with any kind of idea. The doctor mockingly answered that he was waiting until all the bad ideas were said so he could come up with his plan: To empower the Warp Topaz with Super Sonic's power and use the resulting energy to destroy the Virus. In ironic tone, Amy remebered that, as Eggman just said, the Deadly Six had the Chaos Emeralds. Somewhat calm, he too answered with irony, quoting her words ("One thing at a time"). (StH: #25)

   Hearing everything, Starline protested against the idea of using the Warp Topaz since it was instable and the results of giving the Chaos Emeralds' power to it would be unpredictable. He then stated that he was leaving them, planning to come up with a solution of his own. Hearing everything, Metal Sonic decided to take action: He removed the Warp Topaz of Starline's glove and fired him with one of his weapons while opening a portal with the Warp Topaz, throwing him into it. In the afterward, Eggman stated that Rouge would be able to steal 2 Emeralds (The one that Zavok kept to him and the one used to keep the Faceship afloat). Espio noted that they would still need to deal with the five remaining Zeti, with Silver saying that, as long as they had each other, everything was possible. The debate went further and the heroes concluded that they would need to split up in an attempt to defeat all 5 enemies at once since there was a risk that one contacted the others calling for back-up. Dr. Eggman then started working on a Multi-Portal Generator. (StH: #25)

   Jet accepting work with the Restoration Amy watches as Sonic convinces Jet to help.

   Tails stated that it would be better if they went with at least 2 people, since they would certainly need backup to defeat the Deadly Six's members. Wanting to increase their number, Amy, knowing that they were still alive, suggested that they could ask for the help of the Babylon Rogues, which Sonic wasn't sure was a good idea. Regardless, the trio arrived at the Angel Island, with Sonic menaging to convince them to help by admitting to Jet that he was the best of the two and that they needed their help to save the world, essentially giving up on his own pride. Amy, having saw the scene, told Sonic that she wouldn't tell Knuckles about what happened. Sonic then started another race in an attempt to slow down his infection. Eggman finished the Mult-Portal Generator with Tails' help, meaning they could finally put the plan into action. (StH: #25)

   Sonic then came back from his race, stating that he had a plan on how to divide the teams, but before he could explain it, the infection suddenly came back with more streght, hurting him inside and making him fell great pain. Amy was willing to help him, but he insisted that he was fine. Proceeding with his explanation, Sonic stated that Tails and Amy should team up to defeat Zomom, since outsmarting him wouldn't be hard. Before going, Amy contacted Rouge, who said that Zavok was gathering more information and that they needed to hurry up. When the Portal was finally activated, Amy and Tails went to Vista View, finding Zomom there, stealing all the food of a restaurant with the help of the Zombots. Following Sonic's advice, they tried to trick the Zeti to believe that they were sent here by Zavok himself so they could escort the Chaos Emerald Zomom had to him. Zomom, however, recognized Tails from the adventure he and Sonic had on the Lost Hex a long time ago. Stating that they were interrupting his snack, Zomom attacked the two heroes. (StH: #26)

   Zomom tried to chase the duo, only to Amy to attack his face with her Piko Piko Hammer; He, however, tried to literally eat the hammer which wasn't possible since Tails attacked him, forcing him to spit it out. Extremely furious, Zomom stated that she would smash the duo, but that was before Tails said that he accidentally let his lunch box fall behind, with the Zeti going back in an attempt to eat Tails' supposed food. The heroes started debating a plan to defeat the Zeti, but he soon came back (Stating that he was now both hungry and angry) with an army of Zombots, forcing Amy and Tails to get to the high ground. Calling them annoying, Zomom caused an earthquake in a attempt to destroy the building where the heroes were, which succeded. Tails, however, menaged to save Amy by flying with her, soon thinking into a plan after seeing they were near some kind of gate. As soon as Zomom was underneath the gate, they slammed the gate shut onto Zomom, trapping him. They celebrated their victory and then got the Chaos Emerald, leaving Zomom behind. (StH: #27)

   Zombot army Amy and the others watching the approaching of the Zombot army.

   After Amy and Tails got back into the Angel Island alongside everyone but Cream and Gemerl (She was turned into a Zombot in their fight against Zeena and Gemerl choose to stay with her), they learned that Zavok had finally discovered Angel Island location, arriving there soon with his Faceship and an army of Zombots; Rouge, however, sabotaged the ship from inside, making it fall into the ocean. Using his Chaos Emerald, Zavok menaged to survive and turn into his giant form, shouting the Angel Island with a colossal fireball and throwing a lot of the Zombots into the Island in the afterward. Sonic, Silver and Metal tried to recover Zavok's Chaos Emerald while the others, including Amy, fought the Zombots. At some point, Amy tried to attack a Zombot Big the Cat with her hammer, which proved worthless. Eggman, trying to gain time to escape, kicked Amy into Big. He, however, stumbled and fell to the ground, with a Zombot Froggy attacking him while Amy was being turned into a Zombot. (StH: #28)

   Silver says Sonic is gone Silver informs Amy of Sonic's fate.

   Sonic then menaged to get the last Chaos Emerald thanks to Metal's help, with him turning into Super Sonic and Silver into Super Silver. Using the Warp Topaz, they were utimately able to extinguish the Metal Virus by throwing all of it into the sun. This led Amy and Big to turn back to their normal forms, with her even hugging him in celebration. An explosion ocurred, with Silver falling from it, but Sonic being nowhere to be found. Alongside Knuckles and Tails, Amy went to check if Silver was okay. The hedgehog explained that the Metal Virus was indeed destroyed but also said that Starline was right about the Warp Topaz instability. Silver said that Sonic tried to stop the Warp Topaz from destroying the world. Apparently, Sonic sacrificed himself so the Warp Topaz would be thrown into the Super Warp Portal, thus saving the world. Falling into her knees, Amy was totally devastated that just after they saved the world from the apocalypse, Sonic died. (StH: #29)

   Out of the Blue Seeing the despair on Amy and his other friends, Knuckles tried to calm everyone down by saying that Sonic was only being over-dramatic as usual and would come back triumphantly any time soon. Trying to get the situation under control, Amy asked Tails if there was any way of searching for Sonic, with the fox answering that he wouldn't know where to begin. On her knees, Amy said that she didn't know how much more she could take after this crisis, with Tails admitting that he too was exhausted by that point, but that they needed to keep fighting as the Deadly Six was still out there, with her concerning that they would be her problem after she returns to the Restoration HQ. (StH: #30)

   Amy and Tails Tails explaining to Amy that they got to keep fighting.

   Worried about her, Tails suggested that she could take a break from her responsibilities, then asking why she accepted such a hard job in the first place. Amy answered that she only accepted it because Knuckles, the former leader of the now disbanded Resistance, gave up on leadering them, with the echidna arguing that he did it because, firstly, the war was over and, secondly, because his place was on Angel Island guarding the Master Emerald. Amy replied that the people of their planet still needed help to restore a world destroyed by the war, but Knuckles denied those words, saying that Amy's desire to help everyone everytime and everywhere was simply impossible to achieve, with him even asking rudely when the refugees that they brough here would leave. (StH: #30)

   Regardless, Tails answered that they would leave as soon as the battleship was fixed, but after saying so, he realized that it was nowhere to be found. Eggman was nowhere to be seen too until Big pointed that he was escaping from the island in said battleship. Later, Amy went back to Restoration HQ, being swamped with even more work to do after the Metal Virus crisis, such as organizing supplies to help in the reconstruction of the spots destroyed by the Zombots and help the people that turned into Zombots go back to their homes as most of they got lost. For a moment, she hesitated, wishing she could go back in time and continue having adventure after adventure alongside Sonic and her friends. However, she remembered then how the blue blur didn't gave up during the crisis even after getting infected, which made her remember that she needed to stay strong and never give up, just like he did. (StH: #31)

   Soon after, Jewel, Tangle's best friend from Spiral Hill, visited Amy at her room, offering to take on the leadership of the Restoration herself as she always liked cataloging and organizing things, felling that the mission to recover the world's order would fit her pretty well. Exaggeratedly appy, AMy accepted the beetle's offer with relieve, thinking that the would finally be able to take a break of all of that at least for a little time. The hedgehog informed Jewel about everything she needed to know and then left, being later invited by Tangle for a party at Spiral Hill. In the party, she spend some time dancing with Vector enjoying it. (StH: #31)

   Hug Amy having a collective hug with Sonic and the others.

   Her fun was interrupted, however, as Dr. Eggman attacked the party with his recently build Giga Omega with the intention of destroying everyone at once. Amy helped fighting against the mad scientist for some time, but his machine was proving to be too much for them. In the last second, however, Sonic finally returned, using his super speed to help defeating the robot. After Eggman departed, Amy could at last demonstrate how overjoyed she was with the return of their hero, with her happily hugging him and he hugging her back. Tails then joined the hug, and then Tangle and then basically everyone in the party. In the afterward, Amy helped putting out the fire caused by Eggman's attack. (StH: #32)

   Chao Races and Badnik Bases In the aftermath, Amy took E-123 Omega parts to Tails' Workshop so the fox could repair the robot. However, as Eggman's style of making robots was kind of unique, Tails lacked the proper equipment to work, which included both the ciphers for Omega's blueprints and spare parts; Without it, Omega would never recover his body. Sonic them suggested that they could find the cipher in an abandoned Eggman Empire base nearby, with Amy intially wanting to go with Sonic, but declining after learning that this adventure would be to dangerous. Instead, she decided to go with Rouge to the White Park Zone, since the bat said that they could find the spare parts with a guy named Clutch the Opossum who apparently was the local champion at Chao Races. In need of a Chao to get into the White Park undercover, Rouge called Vanilla and convinced her not only to let Cream go with them but also take Cheese and Gemerl along. (StH: #33)

   Amy driving Amy relaxing during the travel.

   In order to get there faster, Amy drove herself and the others to the White Park in her Pink Cabriolet, relaxing during the travel as she wasn't the Restoration leader anymore, but that was before Shadow appeared out of nowhere in the road, forcing her to brake the car fast. Amy tried to convince the hedgehog to join them in this adventure, but he refused as he had more imporant things to do at the time. Some time later, they arrived at the White Park Grand Chateau, with Rouge subscribing to the championship and Amy trying to get some spots for herself and her friends at the qualification round of the White Park Chao Racing Circuit. There, they menaged to watch Cheese compete in a Chao Race, with Amy demonstrating an exaggerated competitive spirit. Cheese passed the qualification round, thus making Clutch search for Amy and Rouge, with him sending his business card to them and inviting them over. Amy did find this suspicious, as it was almost too easy to attract Clutch's attention. Regardless, the hedgehog let Rouge take care of Clutch while she searched for a room for the group. (StH: #33)

   In the next morning, Amy had breakfast with Cream, Cheese and Gemerl. Cream pointed that Rouge didn't return last night, showing concern, but Amy didn't care much about it since she was sure that the bat was just stealing someone out there. In that exact moment, however, Rouge appeared, scaring Amy. Rouge answered to Amy's commentary by saying that it was better to first check if there was something worth stealing out there, with Amy replying that this kind of speech would make a terrible example to Cream. Finishing breakfast, they went to the next Chao Race in an attempt t get into the semi-finals. Cheese won the race, which for some reason made Rouge try to take him with her. Amy, however, protested against it, demanding to know the reason behind all of this. Rouge then explained that her plan was to deliver Cheese to Clutch and then betray him, taking the Chao back and getting the spare parts Omega was in need of. Amy agreed with the plan, but with the condition that they could go alongside Rouge. (StH: #34)

   Showing at Clutch's suite, Rouge and the others pretended that they were negotiating. The plan, however, was falling, as Clutch was slowly noticing something was wrong. To the heroes' luck, Shadow appeared, defeating Clutch with a single blow. The hedgehog then proceded to show them how Clutch used to keep the Chao that didn't win the races for him in captivity. Amy decided to keep an eye on Clutch, staying on the suite, with Rouge trying to call Tails and inform him that they already got the parts Omega was in need of, asking him to come to the White Park so he could pick up the said parts. (StH: #34) In the aftermath, Amy welcomed Sonic to the White Park when he arrived alongside Belle the Tinkerer, with the hedgehog explaining that Rouge called him because of an emergency of some kind, but then Amy revealed that the call was just to inform then that they were with the spare parts. She then explained the whole Clutch situation to them, leding both to the later's suite. (StH: #35)

   Amy fighting Amy determined to fight the badnik all by herself.

   Arriving there, they met with Cream, who was trying to unlock the cage that had the Chao inside. Using her robotic abilities, Belle menaged to help Cream out. Amy then asked Sonic to search for Tails and Rouge, since she was starting to get worried about them. Just after Sonic left, however, Clutch got up, fired a shot at Amy, activated his badniks and escaped. Amy prepared to fight one of them while asking Gemerl to look out for Cream. The hedgehog tried to attack the robot, but her attacks proved worthless. Falling into despair for a moment, she tought about asking for Sonic to save her, but them remembered herself how strong she was and how she could do anything by herself if she try. Using her physical abilities alongside her Piko Piko Hammer, she menaged to confront the robotic beast. (StH: #35)

   While fighting the giant badnik, however, Amy would also watched Gemerl trying to protect Cream with his own body, which eventually made she let her guard down, getting hit by the enemy. However, the Chao that were freed by both Cream and Belle helped Amy out. Gemerl helped too by keeping the badnik from attacking, opening a breach for Amy to deliver the final blow to the robot, which she did by smashing its head with her hammer. Soon after, Tails and Rouge finally appeared, warning them about an incoming avalanche. Amy then requested the chateau's Omochao to ask all the people there to evacuate, which he refused initially, but later accepted when an angry Amy threatened his well being. To the surprise of all, Dr. Starline appeared, getting in their way in a attempt to kidnap Tails. Amy prepared to start a fight with him, but Starline menaged to escape and lung at Tails; However, to the villain's surprise, Belle attacked him, making the doctor get buried by the avalanche then. Fortunately, the avalanche was withstooded by the chateau. (StH: #36)

   Amy explaining Amy nervously explaining herself.

   Rouge then started looking for Sonic and Shadow in the air, but Amy pointed that something was telling her that they were underground. Her intuition was right, after all, as Sonic and Shadow were under the snow all along. In the aftermath, they all returned to Tails' Workshop, where Omega was finally rebuilded. Amy and Rouge then welcomed Vanilla, who heard all about their adventure from Cream (Including the dangerous parts). Amy then started to nervously explain herself and even tried to blame Rouge for those dangers, but then discovered that the bat ran out of place just in time. (StH: #36)

   Appearance Amy is a pink-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with bright green eyes and peach skin covering her muzzle, inner ears and arms. She has a small black nose, triangular ears on top of her head, and no back spines. She also has two medium-length eyelashes on each side of her eyes. Additionally, her five short head quills point downwards, somewhat resembling a bob cut. She also has three spikes for bangs on her head and a short pointy tail.

   For attire, Amy wears a red sleeveless and backless dress with two white trims and a white petticoat underneath, tall red boots with a white stripe down the center, white cuffs and gray soles with chunky heels, a red hairband, and white wrist-length gloves with gold bracelets for cuffs which she states to Cream in Sonic Battle, are her weight trainers.

   When she was younger, Amy's five head quills were longer and pointed backward, and she had a single back spine, her eyes were black. For attire, Amy wears an orange-ruffled or pleated skirt, a green puffy-sleeved shirt with a white collar and cuff bands, white and lavender sneakers with orange shoelaces, white wrist-length gloves, and a red ribbon headband.

   At one point in her young lifestyle, she wears a red dress, gold bracelets and red boots similar to what she would normally be wearing..

   Personality A cheerful, optimistic and energetic go-getter, Amy is a determined young hedgehog who lets nothing stand in her way. She is girly and sweet, but also temperamental and has a hard time taking a "no" for an answer. She is best known for her long-standing crush on Sonic the Hedgehog, whom she would follow anywhere (if he let her). Like Sonic, she also sometimes find fun in fighting Badniks.

   The time Amy spent in the Resistance has caused her to mature to a great degree. While still obsessed with Sonic and her crush on him, she has become more level-headed about it, being able to shake herself out of her moments of infatuation with him. She also has a strong sense of responsibility and duty, which is exemplified in her devotion to the Resistance's cause and her own role in maintaining the organization's stability, as well as when she turned down an offer to spend time with Sonic in favor of returning to her duties in the Resistance.

   Abilities Amy attacks Death Crab Amy using the Piko Hammer to finish a Death Crab.

   Amy has high physical strength, enough to wield her large Piko Hammer with ease and swing it around with enough force to send recipients flying through midair. She is also highly adept and knowledgeable in the usage of her Piko Piko Hammer: with it, she can make offensive spins (similar to a spinning top) and redirect midair projectiles with a single whack.

   Amy's trademark weapon is the Piko Hammer, a large and powerful hammer capable of dealing massive damage with no excessive efforts. She mainly uses it as a melee weapon in combat, although she is also able to use it for devastating attacks when combining it with her natural gracefulness.

   Physical abilities aside, Amy is a skilled strategist and organizer. It was thanks to these skills that the Resistance became the orderly organization it is. In little time she once also organized an ambush with an unfamiliar town's militia that successfully vanquished a Badnik horde, all while giving the civilians accurate instructions on how to evacuate the residents.

   Amy uses the Pink Rose for her extreme gear. She also drives Pink Cabriolet.

   Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog Amy admires Sonic Amy admiring Sonic.

   Amy has had a long-standing crush on none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. As such, she is always happy to see him and would follow him everywhere if he let her. Even in the heat of battle, she cannot help but flirt with him. However, Sonic does not reciprocate her advances or affections, much to her eternal frustration. She also tends to get annoyed to Sonic's cheeky attitude and independent mindset, especially when it comes to his refusal to work with her and the Resistance.

   Despite her constant turn-downs however, Amy keeps a tight friendship with Sonic. She also admires Sonic for his free-spirited and benevolent choice of lifestyle, and has admitted that, for all his shortcomings, she loves him just the way he is, and would not want to change him in any way. The two of them are also capable of playful banter in both tense and relaxed situations.

4. #4Sticks the Badgerconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Sticks the Badger.

   Sticks the Badger (スティックス・ザ・バジャー Sutikkusu za Bajā?) is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom series. She is a wacky anthropomorphic jungle badger, the only descendant of Jebediah Badger,[2][3] and a force of nature in every way. Since her childhood, she has lived and flourished alone in the wilderness and is therefore new to friends in general.[5][13] She eventually formed a strong bond with Team Sonic and joined them as their wild card in their ongoing battles against Dr. Eggman.

   Appearance Sticks is an anthropomorphic badger, only slightly shorter than Amy. She has orange fur with long thick hair on the back of her head, which she keeps in two locks with auburn strings, and two brown stripes across each of her eyes and bushy round ears that reach the end of her hair. She is rather scrawny, with a peach muzzle, a small black nose, blue eyes and a medium-long bushy tail. Sticks' attire consists of a midriff-baring tube top and a skirt with an auburn rope belt, each made of worn-down gray fabric stitched together, and tan fur-skin boots, one which has a fur cuff and the other which has metal bands on it. As accessories, she wears a golden band on her right upper arm, a spiral bracelet on her left wrist and a necklace braided with seashells and a gold ring.

   Personality Sticks is energetic, free-spirited,[18] and primal. She has sharp animal instincts, is a fearsome combatant, a tenacious hunter, and will enter a feral frenzy when she is angry.[13][19] Because of her isolated life, Sticks has become off-kilted, obtuse, mental and just plain nutty,[13][20] and she thinks others are living in an alternate world different from the normal one,[13] something that unnerves friends and enemies alike. While Sticks recognizes that she is a kook,[21] she does not like having herself and her ideas written off as crazy by default, as she often turns out to be right.[22][23]

   In spite of her background, Sticks is intelligent, especially when in her right element, though her manner of speaking comes off as strange to other people as she speaks in a primitive dialect she taught herself.[13][19] Also, there is a definite method in much of her madness, and her hair-brained ideas can sometimes be strokes of brilliance that lead to solutions that no one else could have thought of. Due to living in the jungle, Sticks has no concept of formal behavior, a fact she is aware of and worries will embarrass her in fancy situations.[4] She is also disgusted by anything cute, adorable and fuzzy.[11] Despite this she has no problems with Miss Tomatopotamus and found the idea of Tails being in love adorable.

   While not quite a tomboy, Sticks is far from feminine and has no understanding of this concept.[3] However, she does have her rare moments of girly-ness.[24][25] She loves spending time in her burrow and returns to it for safety when a situation becomes too bizarre for her.[13] Like Tails, she is passionate about arts and crafts and makes things from what she finds in nature.[7] Unlike Tails though, Sticks usually considers technology her enemy because it "can't be trusted."[9][26] Regardless of her standpoints however, she is willing to compromise her principles for the right reasons.[26] She has also curiously enough displayed an unlikely amount of affection for otherwise dangerous or disgusting robots, such as D-Fekt and Buster.

   SB S1E29 Sticks explains curse Sticks describing a curse, her paranoia at its zenith.

   Sticks' social skills need plenty of work.[13] She always speaks her mind, even if it comes across as socially uncalibrated, and her wildness sometimes gets her into trouble during social situations.[27] Sticks is not the most trusting individual and is full of outrageous suspicions and paranoia, though her instinctive skepticism often turns out to be quite accurate.[13] She is very superstitious and senses danger and conspiracies everywhere, which leaves her in a state of constant stress.[19][28][29] She also exhibits personality traits based on various conspiracy theorist stereotypes, in that she suspects the government of being behind a lot of shady activities, including mind-controlling the public, and often thinks about toppling it.[30] As such, she has equipment prepared for even the oddest situations.[4] Sticks is also one who believes in speaking the truth, and cannot stand the real stories being withheld.[26][12] Despite her dislike of lies, however, she is not a snitch.[12]

   While the concepts of sharing, compassion, and friendship are foreign to her, Sticks has a good heart and a genuine desire to get closer to Sonic and his friends[6] and is fiercely loyal to them, although she is also completely comfortable being alone.[27] Perhaps most noticeably, she is unwilling to rat out her friends, even when they do something she does not disagree with, although she expects them to come clean in the end.[12] However, her loyalty also means that she feels very hurt when her friends do not trust her enough when she needs them to.[21] Her closeness to her friends also creates an internal struggle for her; on one hand she is not sure she can handle the life outside her burrow, but on the other hand she loves her friends and wants to hang out with them.[13]

   Sticks has a horrible singing voice, which has been likened to "bagpipes in a wood chipper" and was bad enough to set off Tails' Disasterometer.[31]

   Powers and abilities Sticks possesses unparalleled and quite accurate animal instincts.[13] These include an expert sense of smell accurate enough to let her sniff out specific targets, like an animal.[32] She has extremely sharp wilderness survival skills in various areas, such as creating shelters and fires, knot tying (being capable of tying an entire net in a flash[33]), bird calls, identifying edible mushrooms, navigation, and time measurement without modern instruments.[13][34] She is also an excellent swimmer who can pull off undersea traversing where regular people need wetsuits.[35] Sticks is as well a talented hunter who can take down any prey with her signature equipment.[5][13][18] Physically, Sticks is very swift and agile and has acrobatic skills on level with a circus acrobat,[36] being capable of dodging successive laser shots[4] and making high leaps with little trouble and minimal reaction time.

   In battle, Sticks is a great warrior with fearsome combat skills due to her wild side.[4][7] Sticks is proficient in the usage of several forms of weaponry, including expert archery,[37] but she is most well-versed in the usage of boomerangs. She can throw boomerangs with absolute precision and without fail, including make-shift boomerangs made from things such as ladles and robot parts.[5][4][6] Even without her weapons, Sticks is an adept martial artist and has descent skills in hand-to-hand combat.[21] She is also skilled in weapon crafting,[6] which is exemplified in the self-made weapons she uses. Also, while technology is not her forte, Sticks has some skills in programming missiles due to her past experiences of being caught in missile silos.[34]

   Sticks has an uncanny sense of foresight, and often predicts the occurrence of unexpected situations long beforehand. Her imagination and awareness together make her very capable of devising uniquely effective solutions. After eating an Evil Cookie infused with Eggman's DNA, Sticks briefly gained genius-level intelligence. However, it reverted back to her normal level after being cured.[38]

   Weapons and equipment Sticks' boomerang Sticks' boomerang 1/8 Sticks is armed with handmade weapons at all times, most notably a handmade boomerang that she keeps in tow[13] which she uses for not only long-ranged attacks that pack significant power, but also as a melee weapon.[28] She also has an arsenal of additional weapons available which include a crossbow,[37] a slingshot,[39] nunchucks,[40] a net,[41] a bō,[42][43] a club,[44] and a giant metal mace.[43]

   Sticks also possesses her own Enerbeam, an energy tether that can latch onto objects or form a makeshift whip/rope.

   Relationships Team Sonic Amy Rose HUG Sticks and Amy hugging.

   Among her new friends on Team Sonic, Sticks' best friend is Amy Rose, who is the one Sticks wants to get closer to the most.[13] The two of them are very tight, with Sticks having acknowledged that Amy is the one person that will stand by her side no matter what.[2] The arguably greatest example of their friendship was when Amy had Sticks' back every step of the way during the time the Village turned against the badger. As thanks for her help, Sticks had the Village renamed after Amy.[2] Also, as a symbol of their friendship, they each own a joinable BFF necklace.[20]

   While Amy helps Sticks adapt to civilization, Sticks is in turn willing to go to extremes to help and protect Amy, even when she doubts her.[13][29][34] In fact, when Lyric the Last Ancient kidnapped Amy, Sticks immediately took off to save her without a plan or a clue. Also, just like Amy's shares her knowledge of civilization with Sticks, Sticks share her knowledge of the wilderness and the perks of instincts with Amy, showing that their relationship works both ways.[4][34][8] Similarly, Sticks is willing to be the calm-minded one of them when Amy is in need of emotional support.[43]

   When working together, Sticks and Amy are a solid team, displaying well-oiled collaboration in different situations, like combat and wilderness survival.[34] They also occasionally have girls-only activities where it is just the two of them hanging out together. While their different personalities make it difficult for them to find common ground during such events, they nonetheless always manage to make compromises that satisfy both of them, showcasing the strength of their friendship.[3][8]

   Sticks herself holds Amy in high regard, viewing her as the smartest person around (even more so than Tails), selfless and honorable.[2] She is also more dedicated to Amy's finer instructions than the rest of her team.[45] Their relationship is far from easy though, as Sticks has a hard time understanding Amy's civilized manners and attempts to have her act more lady-like, while Amy does not always concur with Sticks' primal and simple nature.[3][4] Also, regardless of her affection for her, Sticks does not always agree with Amy's bossy attitude, nor is she very fond of her ideas for group activities.[3][46][47] There are as well times where Sticks may act inconsiderate towards Amy, though she still appreciates her as both a teammate and a friend, and will try making up with her whenever she has upset her.[47] In fact, Sticks cannot stand watching Amy cry.[48]

   Sonic the Hedgehog SB S1E05 Sticks hug Sonic Sticks hugging Sonic in gratitude.

   Another one of Sticks' closest friends and teammates is Sonic the Hedgehog. Sticks and Sonic are rather alike in regards to how they "go running into danger without a plan, a direction, or a clue," though Sticks is usually kept in line by Sonic. In terms of leadership, Sticks accepts Sonic as her team leader, though she does not really trust him, or anyone, in charge.[49] Regardless, Sticks loves being friends with Sonic and enjoys hanging out with him, and will protect and help him the best way she knows how, even when he doubts her.[13][29] Likewise, she truly appreciates Sonic for what he is willing to do for her sake.[4] However, she does have her limits for how much of Sonic's ego she can take and is not above putting him in his place when he deserves it.[33][34]

   Miles "Tails" Prower Tails and Sticks brickering Sticks upset at Tails.

   Miles "Tails" Prower is one of Sticks' teammates and close friends, though there is an opposing dynamic between them. While Sticks is generally suspicious and has crazy ideas, Tails is an inherent optimist and relies on facts and science which causes a great deal of bickering between the two.[14] This part of their relationship is even more strenuous due to Sticks' unease about technology, which Tails constantly uses.[28][50] For some reason, she is also very much against having Tails lead her.[49]

   Like many of her friends, Sticks tends to distrust Tails due to her exceeding paranoia; once she even thought he was a double-agent.[36] She also does not really acknowledge him as the smartest in their group since she has given that honor to Amy, although she still recognizes his skills and appreciates his aid.[26] At the end of the day, despite their differences, Sticks loves having Tails as a friend and enjoys hanging out with him, and will protect him rather fiercely, even when he doubts her.[13][29] In one instance, she even found him more adorable than tough.[51] Also, despite their disagreements, Sticks will always make peace with Tails sooner or later as they come to appreciate each other's differences and contributions.[36][50]

   Knuckles the Echidna Sticks attacking Knuckles Sticks attacking Knuckles after thinking he insulted her.

   Knuckles the Echidna is another of Sticks' friends and teammates. Out of everyone on her crew, Sticks tends to treat Knuckles as a more disposable member, having suggested more than once to destroy him when she deems its necessary;[52] once, when she thought Knuckles had appeared out of thin air, she wanted to kill him with fire.[53] She will also not hesitate to violently assault Knuckles, usually when he has angered her or for a bigger cause, like pulling out his bad tooth.[54][55][56]

   Like her friends, Sticks does not find Knuckles very smart, although she is not bothered as much about it as the others. In fact, Knuckles is often the only one who believes in Sticks' theories. Similarly, Sticks has demonstrated remarkable confidence in Knuckles, namely when she was sure he could tip the luck balance of the universe in his favor before he got himself killed.[22] While Knuckles gets on Sticks' nerves sometimes, she nonetheless loves having Knuckles as a friend and enjoys hanging out with him. She will likewise protect him rather fiercely when she wants to.[13][29] To Knuckles, Sticks also helps fill out the kind of loneliness he gets about being the last of his kind by being the family he longs for.[41]

   Dr. Eggman Sticks vs Eggman Sticks facing Dr. Eggman.

   Like the rest of Team Sonic, Sticks' sworn enemy is Dr. Eggman. However, they have a rather complex relationship. On one hand, Sticks always fights Eggman to foil his plans for domination. When not fighting though, they keep a more passive relationship where they let each other be nearby without starting to brawl.

   On her part, Sticks sees Eggman as a reasonable threat, having underlined how his robots destroy everything and supposedly put songs in people's head that they cannot forget.[52] She also does not trust the doctor under normal circumstances when he claims that he is not up to something, noticeably even less than her friends, and instead suspects that he has an evil scheme in play, which is usually correct.[54][57] In spite of that, Sticks still thinks that Eggman himself is a total joke.[58] Because of her constant victories over him, Sticks has a tendency to underestimate Eggman and forget how dangerous he can be.[33]

   Buster SB S1E04 Sticks hearts Buster Sticks after kissing Buster.

   Buster is a Slime Bot created by Dr. Eggman, and Sticks' former pet. Despite Buster's grossness and origin, Sticks loved him dearly and showered him with kindness, something which she has never done to anyone. Captivated by him on sight, Sticks finds him adorable since she is disgusted by cuteness. She was likewise protective of Buster, so much that she stopped being a hero to keep him safe. During their brief time together, Sticks made a strong bond with Buster. Initially, she chose him over her team, and when Eggman turned Buster against her, she refused to hurt him. In the end though, Sticks understood Buster was too dangerous, so it was with a heavy heart that she released him.[11]

   D-Fekt Like Buster, Sticks was quick to take a liking to D-Fekt, a rejected Eggman robot, during one of her bigger adventures. Finding him incredibly cute, she was the most reluctant out of her team to hunt him down, and when tasked with planting a tracking device on him, she initially refused because she deemed it an invasion of his privacy. Nonetheless, the two managed to form a slight trust throughout the Ragna Rock incident, and following D-Fekt's defeat and his subsequent reprogramming by Tails, Sticks was quick to take him in, now that he was as harmless as a puppy.

   Keys: Harem member, Blaze the Cat.

   Blaze the Cat is a lavender anthropromorphic cat, a princess from an alternate dimension, guardian of the Sol Emeralds, and an ally of Sonic the Hedgehog.

   History Past Adventures For an unknown amount of time, Blaze has been the guardian of the Sol Emeralds in her home world. At one point, she met Sonic and his friends. Due to being a loner, she was a bit defensive about approaching them. She eventually warmed up to them, though, and they became her first real friends. As a result, Blaze and Sonic now consider each other to be trusted allies. (StH: #4, #9)

   Fallout Blaze Attacks Buzz Bomber Blaze uses her pyrokinesis to prevent the defeated Buzz Bomber battleship from falling on the town.

   While in her home world, Blaze felt the will of the Sol Emeralds, which instructed her to journey to Sonic's world to prevent a “terrible event”. After arriving, within the hometown of Tangle the Lemur, she teamed up with Sonic and his aforementioned new friend in disposing of Dr. Eggman's badniks raiding the village. After the situation was dealt with, and after some introductions between the cat and the lemur, Blaze explained to Sonic her reason for being on his world, to which Sonic broke the news that she was “about seven months too late” to prevent the event she mentioned (believing that she was referring to Eggman’s worldwide takeover, which had already ended). However, as Tangle noted that Eggman’s robots becoming more organized could be a sign that something “even worse” was on the way, Blaze reasoned that the Sol Emeralds would still have a purpose for directing her there, and that she would remain there until that purpose became clear, to which Sonic wholeheartedly agreed. (StH: #4)

   Battle For Angel Island Eventually, Blaze was called to Resistance HQ where she and the Resistance's other allies were informed that the Resistance needed their help to liberate Angel Island, which had been conquered by Neo Metal Sonic and turned into a flying fortress. Additionally, Neo had secured the Master Emerald for himself on the island. While Amy Rose presented the group with her battle plan, Blaze offered a more direct approach in which she would become Burning Blaze with the Sol Emeralds and confront Neo. Tails convinced Blaze that it was not wise, though, given that Neo could potentially copy Blaze's powers and become too powerful. Instead, Blaze was tasked with helping one faction of the group break the Egg Fleet's control over the island while Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna confronted Neo. (StH: #9)

   On their way to Angel Island, Blaze had a talk with Amy. When Blaze wondered if Whisper the Wolf could be trusted, Amy reminded her that she used to be a loner just like her. Reflecting on how far she had come, Blaze agreed with Amy that they would win the day after assuring her that she would be careful. When the Egg Fleet then began bombarding their ship, Blaze had to abandon the ship and begin her attack. Using the Sol Emeralds, she transformed into Burning Blaze and started attacking the Egg Fleet's vessels while thinking about how far she would go to protect her friends. She was soon after contacted by Amy and told her that she would be with the others soon. As her battle against the Egg Fleet continued, Blaze noticed that her transformation was beginning to run out. Seeking to finish her part of the plan now, Blaze channeled the last of her strength into a massive attack that blew the Egg Fleet's left wing unit that was attached to Angel Island off the island. With her powers drained, Blaze turned back to normal and landed on Angel Island. (StH: #9, #10)

   As Angel Island began to fall, Blaze took flight wondering if she caused this to happen. She soon after met up with the rest of her team onboard an Egg Fleet battleship that Tails had secured. Amy informed her that the island's descent was due to the absence of the Master Emerald. Knuckles later contacted them to request Burning Blaze's help, but Blaze explained that she could not transform again due to the Sol Emeralds being low on power. When Master Overlord (Neo Metal Sonic further transformed) attacked the battleship, Blaze joined her allies in a midair assault on Master Overlord, whom they forced closer to Angel Island while Knuckles focused on removing the Master Emerald from Master Overlord's body. During the battle, Blaze got shaken off of Master Overlord, but was rescued by Silver the Hedgehog with his psychokinesis. Knuckles subsequently got the Master Emerald away from Master Overlord and brought it back to Angel Island, which returned the island to the sky while Master Overlord powered down to his normal Metal Sonic form. With the battle over, Blaze was brought down on Angel Island where she thanked Whisper for her help. (StH: #11)

   As everyone got ready to leave Angel Island onboard a repaired Egg Fleet battleship, Blaze and Silver conversed with each other. When Sonic came to check up on them and hear their next move, Blaze told Sonic that her work here was done and that she would return to her own world with the Sol Emeralds, although not before she saw everyone else home first. She also heard that Silver, who had a feeling that his future was not saved from desolation just yet, planned on staying in Sonic's time for now. Blaze and Silver were then left to themselves while Sonic checked on the others. (StH: #12)

   Before returning to her home world, Blaze followed Amy's directions and came to a ruined city in order to find Silver. Upon finding him, Blaze learned that he was trying to grow vegetables in his own garden, but the plants did not want to grow. After taking a look at the plants that did grow, Blaze burned the earth and told Silver to use the ashes to fertilize the soil. She explained to him that the land on which he wanted to grow plants was acidified and heavy as a result of the bombs that had been dropped there. Silver proceeded to execute Blaze's orders, and thanks to her help, he managed to create a functioning vegetable garden. (StHA: 2019 Annual)

   Appearance Blaze Profile Blaze the Cat.

   Blaze is a lavender-furred, anthropomorphic cat with gold eyes. Her muzzle is white, her inner ears are peach-colored and the tip of her tail dark purple. She wears a long purple flared mantle-like coat of sorts with a gold collar and white tights; the cuffs are fuzzy and white. She has four plumes of "hair" done up in a high ponytail with dark purple tips. Her outfit is generally accented in pinks and reds, including her high heeled shoes, hairband, coat trim, and a small gem on her forehead.

   Personality Blaze Landing Blaze acting dignified while landing.

   Cool, collected, and serious in battle, Blaze typically maintains a dignified bearing, though despite the impression this, along with her royal status, may leave on others, she dislikes being referred to by titles such as "Princess" or "Your Majesty," and would rather be called by her own name. She also holds trust in the Sol Emeralds, and does not deviate from the tasks they cause her to undertake until uncovering the purpose behind the those tasks.[3]

   Abilities Blaze is a skilled fighter, gifted with the ability to create and control fire. With her pyrokinesis, Blaze can conjure up flames at any place on or all over her body for various offensive effects, such as turning herself into a burning projectile, forming a cloak of flames or increase the damage of the blows she deals. She can also use her flames to propel herself forward, increasing her speed and/or granting her limited flight.[3]

   Transformations Burning Blaze This section is needed but has not been written yet. You can help IDW Sonic Hub by writing it.

   With the power of the Sol Emeralds, Blaze can take on a new powerful form, as well as fire-based powers. It is powerful enough to destroy a large wing of an Egg Fleet battleship, as well as take on loads of badnmiks and eggfleet ships on her own.

   Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic and Blaze Blaze and Sonic

   Blaze and Sonic have known each other for some time, as seen by Sonic's introduction of Blaze to Tangle. The two seem to get along well with Sonic claiming he could count on Blaze. In addition, they seem to coordinate with each other well in combat.

   Tangle seems to look up to and admire Blaze, as she finds her abilities and status as a princess amazing. Blaze was able to fight together with Tangle, despite their personalities being a bit different. Tangle showed gratitude to Blaze for helping save her town, and when Blaze offered to help calm the many flames in Tangle's hometown, Tangle was very appreciative.

6. #6Sally Acornconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Sally Acorn.

   Princess Sally Acorn is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian chipmunk, the daughter of King Nigel Acorn, and leader of the Freedom Fighters. Born as the heir to her father's throne, she was taken, as a child, to the sanctuary of Knothole Village in the Wood Zone by Rosie Woodchuck when her father was betrayed by his royal adviser, Dr. Eggman and led the Freedom Fighters on many field missions against the scientist when he took power after banishing the King to the Special Zone. After Nigel Acorn was rescued and resumed his role as king, Sally continued to lead the Freedom Fighters in the ongoing battle against the Eggman Empire.

   Appearance Sally is a brown-furred mobian chipmunk with auburn hair that connects to the stripe going down her back and ending on her short tail. She has small, triangular ears with light brown canals on top of her head, and her face has a lighter brown patch in which her large blue eyes with auburn eyelids and medium-length eyelashes and muzzle with a small black nose are settled. Her clothing consists of black, skintight shorts with white rimming, azure knee-high boots with white cuffs, soles, and outlines on the buckles with dark blue details inside, and white gloves with her Ring-Blades. She wears a closed azure vest which exposes her midriff, and a tight, black, sleeveless crop-top with white trim underneath. Her tan-colored belly can be seen on her midriff. At night, she wears a cream nightgown covered with acorns and a pair of light blue slippers.

   A younger Sally wore an outfit inspired by her younger self from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series episode, "Blast to the Past, Part 1", though with the addition of white gloves. She has also been seen in white pajamas decorated with acorn designs with light blue slippers. When she was slightly older, she started wearing her hair (now shorter) in a ponytail, and sported an open blue vest with a collar, a black tube-top with a white trim underneath, black sports pants held up by a white belt with a golden buckle, and a pair of blue and white sneakers with black shoelaces, yellow stars, and gray soles.[6][7]

   History Past New Young Sally Sally playing with her father as a child, from Sonic/Mega Man Free Comic Book Day 2014.

   Sally was born as the heir to the Kingdom of Acorn and lived a peaceful life in Mobotropolis, always playing and enjoying life with her father. Sally also appears to have been friends with the scientist Dr. Ellidy, who gifted her with a highly advanced handheld computer. Upon determining that the A.I. within was a "she," Sally asked the doctor for her name, and Ellidy found himself unable to answer. Her father suggested that she name the computer after a queen from their family line: Nicole.[8] Sally became quite attached to Nicole, whose vast database seemed to her to be a match for any teaching, but was given a reality check by Rosie and realized that Nicole-at the time-lacked regard for anything beyond logic.

   One night, her sleep was interrupted by Rosie, who scooped her up in her arms, and spirited her away to the safety of Knothole Village in the Wood Zone, after the king's royal advisor (the man who would later come to be known as Dr. Eggman) betrayed him and banished both him and the Royal Wizard Walter Naugus into the Special Zone, allowing him to take over the kingdom. Sally kept Nicole even upon fleeing to Knothole, and eventually helped the computer discover her sentience.[3]

   Inspired by the heroism of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally assembled the Freedom Fighters, whom she led as the field leader, to combat the Eggman Empire. While on Westside Island, Sally, Sonic and Miles "Tails" Prower met Dulcy the Dragon and taught her that she was able to choose her own fate. After a long battle, the Freedom Fighters were finally able to take back the city, where Sonic rescued Nigel. With the Eggman Empire still possessing a strong hold in the rest of the world, Nigel returned to his duty as King, allowing his daughter to continue leading the Freedom Fighters.[7][9]

   Sally encourages Lupe Sally attempts to encourage Lupe, from Sonic the Hedgehog #277.

   At some point in the past, Lupe the Wolf's village was invaded by Dr. Eggman's forces. Thankfully, Sally, Sonic and Antoine D'Coolette came to her aid. While Sonic ran off to follow and defeat Dr. Eggman, Sally remained and attempted to encourage Lupe to take a stand.[6]

   Ellidy, who went into retirement after giving Nicole to Sally, later developed the Ring-Blades, which would become Sally's signature weapon as a Freedom Fighter.[8]

   Countdown to Chaos Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where Sally's original timeline ended. Amy and Sally1 Sally and Amy remember the events of the old world while touching Nicole's handheld, from Sonic the Hedgehog #256.

   During an undercover mission for the Sky Patrol, Sally found herself aboard the Death Egg evading capture.[10] She managed to escape, but not before being caught on the Death Egg's security cameras. Eggman learned of her presence upon his return after a misadventure across the planet. He summoned Metal Sonic to hunt her down, vowing that Sonic will never see her alive.[11] Sally evaded Metal Sonic until a well-timed hit sent her crashing into Mobotropolis and at the feet of Amy Rose, Cream, Bean and Bark. Members of the Royal Guard attempted to aid Sally and Amy in fighting Metal Sonic, but were stopped, only for Sonic and Tails to rescue the two. After a tearful reunion from Sonic (at Sally's surprise, and confusion as Sonic then proceeded to talk about events she had no knowledge of) and a reunion with her father, Sally was requested by NICOLE to return to Sky Patrol. There, Sally and Amy were informed of the recent Super Genesis Wave, and how it had apparently rewritten their world, leaving Sonic and some of the heroes with memories of a former life and history, some of which Nicole were able to unlock due a glitch she suffered from the wave. Taking Nicole, in her handheld form, in hand together, both Sally and Amy gained memories their former lives. With Amy only shaken by the event, Sally broke down in grief, as she could recall her final few days and actions in the old timeline as Eggman's roboticised slave Mecha Sally. Though Bunnie comforted the princess, the time for processing was short - Nicole had finally succeeded in figuring out the dire consequences of the Super Genesis Wave; the multiverse collapsed in on itself and had been re-written and, most urgently, the planet was strained by the excess energies of the wave piling on, causing it, at that very moment, to crack open.[12]

   Shattered World Crisis Act One With the planet broken, Sally lead the Freedom Fighters to Station Square in order to help with rescue operations. During this time, Nicole took notice of Sally's change in demeanor. Sally responded that she was doing this because of what she had done as Mecha Sally. Nicole, however, stopped her before she could go any further - that Mecha Sally wasn't her and that they needed her in the here and now. When the Freedom Fighters' rescue efforts reached a major impasse, G.U.N. stepped in, lead by Captain Amanda Tower, who complimented Sally and the Freedom Fighters for their efforts, saying that had they not been there, it would have turned into a recovery effort. Sally took the compliment with tearful pride, seeing that her efforts to make up for those actions were worth it. Sadly, the happy moment was cut short, as Muttski contacted the Freedom Fighters with news of the abduction of Charles the Hedgehog and Professor Pickle.[4]

   Sally and her teammates soon intercepted the Bullet Train carrying Eggman's captives, and Sally led one squad to the engine car to stop the train while Sonic led the other in searching for the missing scientists. Much to their chagrin, Sally's group awakened E-106 Eta, who destroyed the train controls and prevented them from learning the professors' exact location. This forced the groups to launch a car-by-car search for the missing pair while the train continued to accelerate uncontrollably.[13] Fortunately, they managed to rescue the scientists, from whom they learned of Dark Gaia, a malevolent force affecting the shattered plant, and Light Gaia, a being with the power to restore it. The group thus set out on a mission to recover the Chaos Emeralds and locate the Gaia Temples in order to heal their world.[14] Sally led Tails, Antoine, and Nicole on the first mission to recover an Emerald, penetrating Crystal Cave undetected.[15] However, upon seeing the beautiful structures of the cave and realizing that they would be destroyed by Eggman's forces were the theft unnoticed, Sally persuaded Nicole to reactivate the security systems guarding the cave.[16] After escaping, the group returned to the Sky Patrol, but their incursion alerted Eggman to the fact that Sally was making use of his stolen files.[17][18]

   The Freedom Fighters then made their way to Soumerca, where Amy and Sonic joined Sally in investigating reports of another Chaos Emerald found by Eggman's forces. They were attacked by E-113 Xi, but saved by the timely arrival of their old friends Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. The pair introduced the Freedom Fighters to their mentor Moss the Sloth, who sensed the Dark Gaia corruption that had been affecting Sonic for some time. Sonic insisted that he was fine, and Amy used her newly learned Mystic Melody to determine the location of the Chaos Emerald, which prompted Mighty and Ray to join the trio in journeying to the nearby Soumerca Egg Army base. Unfortunately, Egg Boss Thunderbolt was waiting for them with an electric trap, which caused Sonic to take on a savage Werehog form.[19] Sally, Amy, and Ray recovered the Emerald while Mighty pursued Sonic, who easily defeated the Egg Soldiers and would have dispatched Thunderbolt had Mighty not engaged him. After a brief fight between the two, Sally and Amy managed to talk Sonic down, and they returned to Moss' hut. To their relief, Sonic returned to his normal form upon daybreak, but fearing a savage relapse voted to remain with Moss until he could get a handle on his new form.[20]

   Sand Hill Emerald Trap Sally encounters one of Eggman's traps, from Sonic the Hedgehog #267.

   Determined to continue on, Sally soon had the team targeted on another Chaos Emerald, and led the D'Coolettes in while Rotor, Amy, and Tails waited in reserve. Sensing an obvious trap, Sally nonetheless continued, knowing how essential the Emerald was to restoring the planet. As expected, Eggman's forces were in place: E-108 Iota, E-109 Kappa, and E-110 Lambda appeared to attack the trio of Freedom Fighters. Worse, when their backup arrived, the Chaos Emerald was flown away and a laser net appeared to trap them all. Luckily, the remaining crew aboard the Sky Patrol, led by Cream, flew in to rescue their beleaguered teammates. The group soon rendezvoused with Sonic, who was stunned by their battered appearances, and Sally berated herself for acting foolishly and not guessing that Eggman had learned of the stolen data. Sonic encouraged her, but both were unpleasantly surprised to learn that the next Chaos Emerald was in the hands of an old acquaintance: Breezie the Hedgehog.[21][22] Sally quickly registered Sonic, Amy, and Tails in Breezie's Chaos Emerald Championship, but was unable to get any more of the Freedom Fighters into the tournament or buy the Emerald from Breezie instead. Despite the urgency of the matter, she refused to condone stealing the Emerald, knowing that the world looked to them as heroes. When Sonic questioned how her father felt about her employing the kingdom's wealth as she had-paying the Chaotix to help locate Emeralds and attempting to pay off Breezie-Sally recalled the awkwardness of approaching her father for the funds.[23]

   Shortly thereafter, an attack by Dark Gaia Creatures on the Sky Patrol forced Sally and her teammates-minus the absent D'Coolettes, Sonic, and Amy-to do battle with them. When they were within two minutes of the sun causing the monsters to vanish, a group of them swarmed Tails, and Sally dove off the Sky Patrol in order to save him. Though Tails returned the favor, Nicole later berated her friend for her recklessness. However, the conversation was interrupted as Nicole received a distress signal from her creator, Dr. Ellidy, and left for the Digital World to help him. Fearing for both of them, Sally took Tails and Big the Cat in the Tornado to Isolated Island, where Ellidy had taken up residence following his retirement. They were greeted by Ellidy's repurposed Badnik helpers, and arrived just in time to greet the returning Ellidy and Nicole. Nicole later commented to Sally that Ellidy seemed to act strangely around her, and Sally did her best to comfort her friend. The A.I. then confided her fear that Ellidy had been trapped in the Digital World deliberately, and that the party responsible might now be aware of their location.[8]

   The following day Ellidy showed off his latest acquisition, a Red Star Ring produced by Isolated Island's Lake of Rings following the crisis. When Ellidy reported that the Badnik assigned to monitor the lake was no longer sending footage despite reading as active, Sally volunteered herself and Big to go check on things. During the trip, Sally questioned how Big felt about Nicole, and the simple Cat responded that he liked her and it didn't matter to him whether she was a machine or not. The two arrived at the lake just in time for another Red Star Ring to emerge, but were then attacked by Ellidy's Badnik. After Big dispatched the robot, the two headed back to Dr. Ellidy's House, where they reported their findings. While Big and Tails turned in for the night, Sally contacted the Sky Patrol on her Miles Electric to inform them of what was going on. She then noticed a curious shelter near the house, but upon investigation was confronted by an irate Dr. Ellidy.[3]

   The confrontation led to a discussion of Ellidy's behavior towards Nicole, something that Sally couldn't understand, and Ellidy revealed that Nicole had been created to save the life of Nikki, his daughter. The effort had failed, and he had thus erected a shrine to her on the side of his home on Isolated Island. Sally's exchange with him grew heated, but she eventually realized that they were being affected by the energy of Dark Gaia. Much to her horror, the Dark Gaia Creatures and Ellidy's Badniks closed in to attack, forcing them to take shelter inside the house. Closeting herself and Ellidy in the lab, the pair were confronted by Phage, the evil computer program who had taken control of Ellidy's Badniks and orchestrated the various attacks on them. An agent of Eggman's, she vowed to consume Nicole and claim Ellidy's research for her creator. This prompted Sally to use the Digitizer to go to her friend's aid, despite Ellidy's objections. Leaving the doctor a Ring Blade, she entered the Digital World and challenged Phage alongside Nicole.[24]

   Digital Sally Abilities Sally in the Digital World, from Sonic Universe #74.

   Despite Sally's bravery, Phage merely set out to devour the pair of friends. Sally encouraged Nicole to flee, but instead the A.I. attacked Phage, causing considerable damage. The pair briefly escaped, and Sally questioned why her friend had not left when she had told her to. Nicole responded by revealing that Phage had prevented her from returning to her computer, and further insisted that she would not leave Sally. Sally then bemoaned that she could not use the abilities Nicole displayed in the Digital World, which Nicole reminded her was due to the Digitizer accommodating her own understanding of reality. Sally then hit upon a strategy-luring Phage to an outside system and having Nicole create a digital copy of one of Ellidy's Sling Rings so that she could pull Sally back into Ellidy's systems. The plan worked, and Nicole then tried to seal Phage out, but the virus proved too powerful until Ellidy inserted a Red Star Ring into Nicole's computer, transforming her into Overclocked Nicole. Sally embraced her empowered friend, and they and their teammates were soon preparing to join the other Freedom Fighters in Apotos. Before leaving, Sally spoke with Ellidy about Nicole again, and learned that her friend had discovered her own origins. After receiving the other Red Star Ring from Ellidy, Nicole surprised Sally by opting to travel with them as a hologram rather than inside a computer.[25]

   SU 75 Freedom Fighters Group Shot Sally with her team, from Sonic Universe #75.

   Sally and her team were later contacted by G.U.N. with information on the last unclaimed Chaos Emerald, and traveled to Crystal Desert Zone to rendezvous with a G.U.N. unit. Unfortunately, Metal Sonic beat them to the punch, and both he and Sonic disappeared through a Genesis Portal during the Freedom Fighters efforts to catch him. After contacting Rouge the Bat and providing aid to the injured soldiers, Sally began laying plans for the team to try and locate the missing Sonic. This proved unnecessary when another portal opened to admit Sonic, Emerald in hand, at their feet.[26]

   Worlds Unite WorldsUniteHeroes Sally meets Mega Man, Dr. Light and the Robot Masters, the Maverick Hunters, and Team Sticks, from Mega Man #50.

   Days later, while searching for a possible Chaos Emerald in the Green Hill Zone, Sonic disappeared without a trace. Sally began to worry about her friend, uncomfortable with the thought of him assuming his Werehog form upon nightfall without being watched. Suddenly, Sally's father contacted her with dire news: Mobotropolis was under attack by an all-new and extremely powerful robot, M'egga Man.[27] The Freedom Fighters quickly engaged the Roboticized Master, but found themselves to be no match for him. As such, Sally instructed Cream to contact her mother Vanilla, so that Gemerl could come to their aid. However, even the robot proved to be no match for M'egga Man, who succeeded in activating one of Sigma's Unity Engines.[28]

   As Sonic's World merged with Earth in the year 20XX, Sally and her teammates were introduced to several Robot Masters from that world who had been fighting Sonic Man, Sonic having been corrupted in similar fashion to Mega Man. The unlikely allies found themselves helping civilians while the two Roboticized Masters attacked each other. After they were cured, the two groups were joined by other heroes: the Maverick Hunters from Earth 20XX's future and Team Sticks of the Sonic Boom World. Together, the heroes boarded the Sky Patrol in order to hunt down Sigma and thwart his plans to conquer the multiverse.[29] They were unexpectedly joined during a meeting of the group's leadership by Eggman, Dr. Wily, and Xander Payne, who informed them of Sigma's base on the Lost Hex. On the way there to confront him, Sally spoke with X and learned of his friend Alia, who had served him and his fellow Hunters as a "Navigator." Sally then volunteered herself, Nicole, Cream, and Roll to serve as Navigators for the assembled heroes. It was not long before they found themselves on their first mission, with their fellow heroes engaging an army of Mechaniloids controlled by Sigma's brainwashed commanders, the Deadly Six. Unfortunately, the villains later turned their robot-controlling powers on Sally's allies.[30][31]

   As their robotic allies were forced to attack them, Sally went outside to help while ordering Cream to remain inside. She found Bunnie struggling to keep herself from attacking the others, the Zeti's abilities affecting her robotic limbs as well. Gemerl then tried to attack her, but was halted by Knuckles following his battle with Break Man. She then ordered the organic heroes back into the Sky Patrol as the robots pressed their attack. Fortunately, Eggman and Wily completed their Egg-Wily Uppity Robot Scrambler Cannon, which stopped the Deadly Six and their robotic pawns. The heroes did not have long to recover, however, before Sigma appeared in a giant new form and unleashed his Maverick army on them.[32] Weakened as they were, the heroes were no match for the massive army, many of whom scattered to various worlds while a handful remained to continue attacking them. However, Sticks the Badger then arrived with some reinforcements: Ryu, Ken Masters, Chun-Li, and Guile of the world of world of Street Fighter. Inspired by Sticks' quick-thinking, Sally directed her allies to split into small teams and follow the Mavericks in order to stop them and recruit other heroes. At Eggman's suggestion, however, a handful of them were assigned to remain on the Sky Patrol and await the arrival of Metal Sonic with Eggman's Chaos Emerald so that Super Sonic could be called upon if necessary.[33]

   Sally and Wood Man traveled to the world of Ōkami, where they befriended Amaterasu and Issun and recruited them to their cause.[34] They returned to the Unified World to find the Sky Patrol destroyed, but fortunately Metal Sonic had rescued the skeleton crew and the Chaos Emeralds.[35] The expanded army of heroes then launched a massive assault on Sigma, only for him to unveil his final form and force Super Sonic and Super Armor Mega Man to take him on.[36] He was subsequently defeated, but the villain's actions left reality in a dangerous condition until Xander Payne acted to undo Sigma's trip to the past. As such, the Freedom Fighters were restored to the recreated Sky Patrol, with only Sonic retaining memories of the conflict.[37]

   Act Two Following the conflict with Sigma, Sally and her friends returned home and set about restoring the world to its proper state. This would lead Sally, Bunnie and Sonic on a mission to assist the Wolf Pack in battling a Badnik Horde in the Thunder Plains Zone. While on sight, she and the team discovered a destroyed decoy Prison Egg, meaning that the Chaos Emerald they had failed to get was missing.[6] With Bunnie's help, Sally got the final Chaos Emerald in the Stone Stormlands Zone, but not before having a conversation with Clove the Pronghorn, the regional Egg Boss, and the concern for the rest of her Egg Army.[38][39][40] Next, Sally and Rotor collected the Gaia Keys from Otto and Lucia in Spagonia. While there, the princess agreed to help the young Lucia prepare for her mother's fiftieth birthday and get a status update on the city's defenses from G.U.N. Captain Daniel Murer.[41] Sally then traveled to Chun-Nan with Sonic, Antoine, Cream and Big to get another Gaia Key from Zonshen, while also aiding the Shijin Warriors in returning the Gaia Phoenix to its original state.[5][42]

   After collecting all the Chaos Emeralds and all the Gaia Keys, Sally sent Cream and Big to hide them in Castle Acorn's vault. Afterwards, she and Sonic held a live broadcast to all their allies, wanting to get their support in a worldwide assault against the Eggman Empire that merely would serve as a distraction while they snuck into the Gaia Temples to fix the planet.[43] They all agreed on the plan,[43] leading Sonic to plan an early celebratory party much to the worry of Sally.[44] The festivities were cut short by an attack from the Battle Bird Armada and Phage. Sally attempted to fight Speedy in order to protect Chip, but the spirit instead tried to help her and got kidnapped, leaving Sally to fight two armada soldiers. Although Sally despatched the soldiers and alerted the other Freedom Fighters of Chip's capture, her actions were too late to stop the armada from escaping.[44]

   Sonic soon found a sullen Sally throwing Speedy’s escort into the brig. She joined her team in the engine room where she discovered Nicole's destroyed handheld. Sally shed tears but not for long as Nicole managed to reveal that she had downloaded herself into Tails' Miles Electric. Sally then requested for Tails to work on long range communications to warn her father if it was not already too late. She soon decided to use one of Tails' Miles Electrics to discover how much information Tails Doll knew. Sally later tried to contact Amy, but the transmission is cut short. She went ahead and relays the information data-mined from Tails Doll to her team: Eggman planned to power up the Death Egg with the Dark Gaia energy he gathered at his base of operations called Eggman Land. He was also transporting a titan made of the Gaia Temples there as well. Sally stated that their objectives were to stop the Death Egg from reaching Eggman Land, break Eggman's control of the Dark Gaia energy, save Chip and take control of the Gaia Temples. Sally made it clear that she was asking a lot of her teammates for this mission.[45]

   Sally teamed up with Antoine and Bunnie to take out Eggman's Summoning Spire and found opposition in Dark Gaia energy-fueled Badniks and a rebuilt E-106 Eta. Bunnie managed to destroy it, allowing them to press onwards. Sally tried her best to disable the spire with a Miles Electric but failed as Dark Gaia collected all of its remaining remnants to complete its perfect form.[46] Tails helped fly his teammates to safety onto the now water-logged Sky Patrol. Sally felt guilty as she could no longer do anything to help the situation but watch, though she was reminded that they had set Eggman back in his plans due to the intense loss of many of his Badniks and a brand new base. With this, Sally lightened up and cheered on Super Sonic and Chip in the Gaia Colossus to defeat Perfect Dark Gaia. After the duo emerged victorious, Chip restored the world and decided to seal himself with Dark Gaia and the Gaia Temples inside the world's core. He bid farewell to the Freedom Fighters, commending Sally on her bond with Nicole and asking her to say goodbye to the holo-lynx for him. Though Sonic was hurt on how Chip never got the chance to keep going on, Sally and Tails made it clear that he did save him and allowed him to live his life while fulfilling his destiny. Sonic managed to cheer up a bit and enjoyed watching the sunrise among his teammates.[47] Sally later had a tea party with Sonic, Amy, Cream, Cheese, and her father at Castle Acorn.[48]

   Personality Sally is strong-minded and very opinionated. She is often logical and focused and prefers to plan ahead in almost all situations, though she also has a playful side and sometimes makes jokes. She often takes the role of a leader, not only in directing and organizing people en masse but also through mediation and offering suggestions or compromises to difficult situations.

   Despite being a princess, Sally is a bit of a "tomboy"; wearing casual, athletic clothes, not hesitating to get into rough or messy situations if needed, and acting as a fighter rather than a damsel-in-distress.

   Sally is known to be kind but headstrong and has a tendency to put too much pressure on herself to react in the most wise way. She can be somewhat insecure at times, and should she think herself to have failed or misjudged a situation in the past, she will often have tremendous self-doubt in herself at the frustration of her perceived inability.

   Sally's attitude towards her title of the princess of the Kingdom of Acorn is one of duty; she is a firm leader with a strong sense of justice and a warm heart, and loves her people and strives to do the best she can for them. She is very caring as well and shows passion, bravery and determination, often remaining undeterred by setbacks, and goes out of her way to make sure her friends are safe and happy. While inwardly compassionate, she can often come off as confrontational, overbearing, sardonic, and condescending when stifled enough. When her emotions are open, however, she is often only protective of her friends, constantly worried about their well-being in the field.

   Powers and abilities Though possessing average physical strength, Sally is very agile and capable of acrobatic maneuvers. She also has proficiency in basic combat, weaponry skills, and hand-to-hand combat, and possesses high reflexes and self-defense abilities.

   Sally is a natural leader and tactician, serving as the strategist and organizer of the Freedom Fighters, including coordinating her team's evacuation efforts of Station Square with noticeable results. She has a very logical mind, but has experienced enough that she readily accepts the mystical forces she encounters. However, her thought process does have its drawbacks, such as limiting her physical abilities in the Digital World to what she is capable of in the real world.

   Weapons Main article: Ring-Blades Energy Blade Bracelet v2 Sally fighting Metal Sonic with her Ring-Blades, from Sonic the Hedgehog #256.

   Sally wears a pair of bracelets around her gloves called the Ring-Blades which can project energy blades. These blades have enough durability to withstand Metal Sonic's claws, and can cut through highly solid substances such as metal alloys. Sally wields these energy blades with great proficiency in battle; in the Digital World, she could also conceive of them in other shapes such as a shield and sword.

   Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog I missed you Sally Sally and Sonic reunited, from Sonic the Hedgehog #256.

   Sally and Sonic the Hedgehog are friends and dependable allies. The two of them like to poke fun at each other in a purely platonic way, with Sally often commenting on Sonic's overbearing ego and tendency not to stick to her plans. Because Sally goes to great length to formulate a plan, she can get quite frustrated when Sonic starts doing his own thing in the middle of a mission. Nevertheless, they retain a dynamic friendship, although they do not share a romantic bond.[49]

   Antoine D'Coolette Sally and Antoine D'Coolette are good friends. At a young age, Antoine fixed his affections on Princess Sally, finding her daring, smart, and beautiful. Thinking himself dashing, Antoine believed that they belonged together like in storybooks. Antoine even joined the Freedom Fighters in allegiance to Sally. Antoine tried courting her, though after a long time he came to realize that his advances were unwanted. Nonetheless, Sally has always considered Antoine as a friend and a trusted ally. In the present, Sally and Antoine are good friends, Antoine is loyal to Sally as his leader and follows her command with no second thought.

   Bunnie D'Coolette Bunnie comforting Sally Bunnie comforting a crying Sally, from Sonic the Hedgehog #256.

   Sally and Bunnie D'Coolette are very close friends, the two often come to each other for comfort and support. When Bunnie first got roboticized after Dr. Eggman took over Mobotropolis, Sally helped Bunnie feels like she's no different from them. After Sally got back her memories from their previous timeline, when she was breaking down in grief after discovering she was Eggman's roboticized slave, Bunnie hugged her and tried to calm her down.

   Nicole the Holo-Lynx Sally and Nicole Sally with Nicole, from Sonic Universe #72.

   Sally and Nicole the Holo-Lynx are best friends. When Sally was a child, she received Nicole from Dr. Ellidy. She would often use Nicole to help with her lessons or to ask queations, and after fleeing to Knothole, even though she was aware Nicole couldn't feel emotions at the time, Sally was still happy to have her by her side. After Nicole started showing emotions and manifested into her holographic form, the two became much closer, to the point of becoming best friends. Nicole helped Sally get back to focus on saving Station Square when she was suffering due to the two realities, and Sally comforted Nicole when she was getting treated with coldness by Dr. Ellidy.

When she was a child, he played with her often, and after Dr. Eggman took over Mobotropolis, Sally was heartbroken in not finding him. After the king was rescued, she was overjoyed, and so was him. Sally asked her father permission to travel the world with the Freedom Fighters on the Sky Patrol to fight Eggman, the king was very understanding and let his daughter go, knowing she could take care of herself. When he needs, the king calls Sally and sometimes the two have tea parties together with the other Freedom Fighters.

7. #7Nicole the Holo-Lynxconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Nicole the Holo-Lynx.

   Nicole the Holo-Lynx is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is an artificial intelligence created by Dr. Ellidy which was entrusted to Sally Acorn as a portable hand-held computer and has since become both Sally's loyal friend and a trusted member of the Freedom Fighters. She is incredibly versatile and able to interact with and manipulate most machinery and computer systems due to her advanced technology and is capable of mental and emotional growth. Due to the latter, she has gradually become more and more lifelike in demeanor during her time interacting with the Freedom Fighters. With the help of a Power Ring, she is able to create a complex holographically simulated body-based on that of a mobian lynx projected from her hand-held.

   Appearance As a computer unit, Nicole's design is slightly inconsistent. In general terms, her handheld is relatively compact, gray in color, and features a flip-top, a screen, two buttons and a small keypad. However, the number of keys, size and general positioning of the unit varies from artist to artist. The unit also has an attachable hook on the top screen where a Power Ring can be inserted.

   Nicole's simulated body takes the form of a brown mobian lynx; the ends of her long triangular ears are black, and her face features cheek tufts on her muzzle and a stripe along the bridge of her black nose as well as one under each of her green eyes. She has medium-long black hair with splits at the ends that she wears down, and a tail. For attire, she wears a purple sleeveless dress with black and white split tails, decorated with a white trim and a small golden brooch with a purple gem. She also wears black pants, black and white gloves with purple cuffs, and black shoes that has white cuffs with a small golden brooch with a purple gem, white toes and black soles.

   History Past Sally Names Nicole Nicole being given to Sally, from Sonic Universe #71.

   Nicole was created by Dr. Ellidy, a top scientist of the Kingdom of Acorn, who hoped to digitize the consciousness of his dying daughter Nikki. Upon Nicole's activation, Ellidy hoped for a reaction of some sort from her; he was disappointed when she responded with no emotion and noted that she had no designation.[1] Despite this, he chose not to delete her, and he later gave her handheld form to Sally Acorn. Sally quickly identified her by gender and asked Dr. Ellidy what "her" name was.

   Ellidy started to respond but hesitated, struggling over his loss of his daughter, which prompted King Acorn to suggest the name Nicole after a past queen of the House of Acorn.[2] Sally became quite fond of her new device, though she quickly learned-with some help from Rosie Woodchuck-that Nicole responded to all situations with logic rather than emotions.[3]

   Sally meets Lynx Nicole Nicole manifesting for the first time, from Sonic Universe #73.

   Though Nicole would retain memories of these events, it would be with a different perspective than after she gained sentience, which took place sometime after Sally fled to Knothole, taking Nicole with her.[3] Eventually, she manifested her holographic form to Sally, and demonstrated her first signs of real emotion by expressing a desire to see the stars.[1] For the early part of her existence Nicole spent time with the Freedom Fighters without being able to see the world as they saw it. However, after discovering how to manifest her holographic form and developing sentience, she made the most of her newfound lease on life. She shared in many of their experiences, from helping Tails build T-Pup to informing Antoine D'Coolette of the death of his parents.[4]

   Countdown to Chaos Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where Nicole's original timeline ended. NicoleandKingWalter Nicole with the disguised Walter Naugus, from Sonic Universe #89.

   Sally became suspicious of her father's behavior in Mobotropolis and sent Nicole to keep an eye on him. Unknown to the both of them, Walter Naugus was once again impersonating Nigel after he had lost his powers as a result of the first Genesis Wave.[5] Holding King Acorn captive, he attempted to force Nicole to create a Super Ring that would restore his lost magic, though Nicole informed him several times that she was unsure that she could pull the task off. When the Tails Doll arrived in Mobotropolis and became engaged in battle with Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails, Nicole mocked Naugus, referring to him as "Wally" and claiming he deserved his misfortune.

   An enraged Naugus grabbed her computer body, the contact had the unexpected effect of reawakening Naugus' memories from the original reality. Terrified by the experience, Naugus threw Nicole's computer through a nearby window, where it was discovered by Tails. Nicole attempted to warn him off, apparently fearing that he would be affected just as Naugus was, but damage incurred from the treatment of her computer form made it so that Tails could not understand her. His old memories were restored, and Tails later reluctantly plugged Nicole into Tails Doll, allowing them to shut the monstrous machine down. After assuring her friends that her programming was undamaged, Nicole-her ability to speak somewhat repaired by her contact with Tails-suggested that the confused pair go looking for the missing Freedom Fighters. After rescuing a rejuvenated King Acorn, who blamed himself for Nicole's captivity, the trio set out to do just that.[6]

   Nicole provided some guidance to Sonic and Tails as they tried to find Rotor the Walrus in the vicinity of the Mystic Ruins, though her ability to communicate remained impaired. With some help from Big the Cat, the trio managed to locate Rotor just in time to save him from a group of Spinner Badniks and their commander, Silver Sonic. Afterwards, the group were taken aboard Sky Patrol, and aircraft that Tails and Rotor had built in this reality as a counter to the Death Egg and other aerial threats. Tails handed Nicole to Rotor, which restored Rotor's memories of the original timeline as well as improving Nicole's condition, though not completely restoring her. After being updated by Rotor on the last known whereabouts of the other Freedom Fighters, the group set out again, leaving Big behind to assist Rotor.[7]

   Nicole continued to have impaired speech until they restored Antoine's memories outside Knothole. At that point, she found the lingering energy she possessed from the second Genesis Wave was waning.[8] Her condition further improved when she restored the memories of Bunnie D'Coolette after recovering her from her mission in Metropolis Zone. Although her speech was restored, and she could partially project her lynx body again, Nicole's database was still scrambled, limiting her usefulness for the time being. Seeing in particular Bunnie's reaction to the restoration, Nicole expressed regret at what it was doing to the mental well-being of her friends. She also revealed she likely only had enough Genesis Wave energy for one more memory restoration, meaning Sonic would probably have to choose between restoring the memories of Sally Acorn or Amy Rose.[9]

   Fortunately, by having Sally and Amy touch her at the same time, Nicole was able to restore the memories of both Freedom Fighters. While they were recovering, however, Nicole reappeared in her holographic form and demanded Sky Patrol be launched immediately. She revealed that the Super Genesis Wave had altered the entire multiverse and had caused it to collapse upon itself. Horrified, she told the Freedom Fighters it was already too late to save the world, as it began to break apart underneath them. The Shattered World Crisis had begun.[10]

   Shattered World Crisis Act One The Freedom Fighters quickly traveled to Station Square, which had suffered heavily as a result of the planet breaking apart. While most of the group split into Team Freedom and Team Fighters to help with the rescue effort, Nicole remained aboard the Sky Patrol with Sally and Cream the Rabbit in order to coordinate their comrades. When Sally suffered a breakdown as a result of the pressure of the situation and her difficulty in processing her conflicting memories, Nicole brought her out of it by reminding her of what she had accomplished, notably with Lupe and Dulcy the Dragon. Fortunately, help soon arrived in the form of the G.U.N. Air Force vessel, Letter of Gabriel. Unfortunately, the Freedom Fighters were then forced to contend with another problem: the abduction of Sir Charles the Hedgehog and Prof. Dillon Pickle by a Badnik Horde.[11]

   The group soon intercepted the Bullet Train carrying the captured scientists and their research, and endeavored to stop it and free the hostages. After reaching the engine compartment, Sally attempted to access it through the best available means: dropping Nicole's computer form into it. After briefly complaining about the risk of damage to her unique components, Nicole manifested her hologram form and attempted to access the train's computer systems. However, her presence activated Badnik Horde Commander E-106 Eta, who attempted to destroy the intruder and took out the train's controls in the process. Nicole, who threw her computer self back up to Sally and dissipated her hologram to escape Eta, reported that the train was accelerating uncontrollably as a result.[12] However, the Freedom Fighters managed to rescue the captured scientists, and soon found themselves with a new mission: locating the Chaos Emeralds and Gaia Temples in order to restore their broken planet.[13] While traveling on this objective, Nicole kept her friends in shape by running a training simulation for Team Freedom, Team Fighters, and Team Rose, and while observing them began pondering her history with them. The group soon accomplished their assigned tasks, and Nicole congratulated them on their success.[4]

   Nicole joined Sally, Antoine, and Tails on a mission to recover a Chaos Emerald from Crystal Cave. With Nicole's help they easily reached the Emerald; much to her surprise, however, Sally insisted upon activating the security system to make sure Dr. Eggman knew they had taken it. At first considering this a foolhardy move, Nicole was made aware of the stakes when Sally activated her hologram and showed her the beauty of the cave. Realizing that Eggman's forces would strip mine the beautiful cave if they believed the Emerald to still be there, Nicole agreed to reactivate the security in order to spare the location.[14][15] While making their way out, the group ran into an E-1000 robot, who dissipated Nicole's hologram with a laser. Unharmed, Nicole was later reactivated by Sally after they returned to the Sky Patrol, and thanked her friend for helping her think more like a living being.[16] Later, she informed her teammates of the Chaos Emerald Championship being held by Breezie the Hedgehog in Casino Park.[17] She was rather amused when Sonic questioned Sally regarding her requests to King Acorn for use of the kingdom's funds,[18] and later watched with the other Freedom Fighters as their friends took part in the tournament.[19]

   Nicole manipulates Digital World Nicole uses her powers to help Dr. Ellidy escape the Digital World, from Sonic Universe #71.

   Sometime later, the Sky Patrol was attacked by several Dark Gaia Creatures of, forcing several of the Freedom Fighters to do battle with them. Despite Nicole's noting that the creatures would disappear at sunrise, Sally dove off the aircraft to aid a beleaguered Tails, who later saved her from falling. Nicole later berated her for this action but was soon distracted by a more urgent matter: a distress call from Dr. Ellidy, her creator. Transporting herself into the Digital World, she found the aged Lynx at the mercy of several strange creatures, and quickly rescued him. Ellidy was stunned by her arrival and appearance, having not seen her since leaving her with Sally, and informed her that he had been cut off from returning to the real world by a firewall. Nicole swiftly brought down the barrier, and the two traveled to Ellidy's home of Isolated Island-he back to his body and she to his computer system. Sally, Big the Cat, and Tails entered Ellidy's home at roughly the same time, and Nicole surprised Ellidy yet again by manifesting her hologram form. Ellidy questioned what had prompted Nicole's form and became distant after learning that she had "chosen" it. His distance disturbed Nicole, who was comforted by Sally, which prompted Nicole to reveal her fear that some power had attempted to ensnare Ellidy in the Digital World and may have followed them.[2]

   After being told about the Red Star Ring and several issues that had cropped up since the Shattered World Crisis had begun, Nicole expressed her fears to Dr. Ellidy that someone or something was trying to take over his systems. Reluctantly acknowledging the theory, Ellidy agreed to let Nicole and Tails look over his systems, with Nicole locking down her handheld form and downloading herself into Ellidy's computers. As she worked, Phage and the creatures from before kept appearing just beyond her perception, and she and Tails decided to partition the system to make it more difficult for any foreign invaders to move freely about the system. Ellidy also questioned when she had gained her sentience, and Nicole confessed that she had difficulty identifying the moment, and also that she recalled things from before that time with a different perspective than she now possessed.[3]

   Later on she was confronted by Phage, who identified herself as the perpetrator of the attack on Ellidy and a later attack on Sally and Big. She attempted to contain the evil A.I., but found Phage's power greater than her own, and was attacked in turn. Phage briefly held her captive in an effort to force Sally and Ellidy to cooperate with her, but when Phage toyed with the notion of destroying Nicole and impersonating her she broke free and fled into the system. Phage was quick to pursue her, and Nicole desperately took refuge in a curious digital structure, where she found images of Ellidy's daughter Nikki. Her curiosity over the identity of the strange girl was put on hold as Phage found her and attempted to absorb her into herself. However, Sally then arrived via the Digitizer to aid her beleaguered friend, allowing Nicole an opening to strike Phage.[1]

   Overlocked Nicole Profile Overclocked Nicole, from Sonic Universe #74.

   Sally confronted Phage and instructed Nicole to leave, unaware that Phage was keeping Nicole from escaping. Refusing to leave her friend, Nicole attacked Phage and actually managed to injure her. The pair of friends then fled, and Nicole revealed her reasons for not leaving her friend. She also explained why Sally was unable to move about the Digital World like she did, before the princess came up with a plan. Despite Nicole's reservations, Sally lured Nicole outside of Ellidy's systems, but was tethered to Nicole by a digital version of one of Ellidy's Sling Rings. Nicole used this to pull Sally back into Ellidy's network, which she then attempted to seal Phage out of. Despite Phage's injuries, Nicole proved no match for her until Ellidy inserted one of the Red Star Rings into her handheld computer form. This caused her to become Overclocked Nicole, and her new power allowed her to force Phage out of the system. She then embraced her friend following their victory, but looked at her hand behind Sally's back. The Freedom Fighters soon prepared to leave to join their friends in Apotos, and Nicole revealed to Sally that she had learned about Nikki while in Ellidy's systems. She understood Ellidy's reluctance to interact with her as a result, given that her ability to think and feel had come at the cost of Nikki's life. Much to her surprise, Ellidy then gave her his other Red Star Ring and asked her to analyze it and send him her findings. She then chose to remain in hologram form on the flight home, in order to feel the wind.[20]

   Nicole, Sally, Tails and Big returned to the Sky Patrol where they learned that GUN had acquired a Chaos Emerald in the Crystal Desert Zone. However, the camp was attacked by Metal Sonic and Nicole let Sally communicate with Rouge the Bat through the handheld. After Sonic's brief disappearance, Nicole's handheld projected the plans for the Freedom Fighters to find Sonic and look after the wounded soldiers.[21]

   Worlds Unite Sonic had disappeared once again and the Freedom Fighters searched for him. Nicole had projected an urgent message from Nigel Acorn regarding an assault from M'egga Man.[22] Later, when the Unified Army united aboard the Sky Patrol, Nicole advised Quake Woman to trust in her friends when trying to understand her feelings. Soon after, Nicole navigated the battle against the Mechaniloids, the Deadly Six and the Mavericks alongside Sally, Roll, Cream and Cheese.[23] She was also able to keep an eye on Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily to make sure they did not try anything shifty.[24]

   TempoandNicole Nicole talks to Quake Woman, from Sonic Universe #77.

   When Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken Masters and Guile came to the Sky Patrol with Sticks, Sally got the idea to have everyone recruit people from other worlds in order to counter Sigma, so she had Nicole's handheld gathered along with the Chaos Emeralds to be kept secure aboard the Sky Patrol.[25] However, Sigma later destroyed the Sky Patrol, forcing Flash Man, Cream, Cheese, Fastidious Beaver, Comedy Chimp and Metal Sonic to escape with Nicole in hand.[26][27] The Unified Army later regrouped and began their attack on Sigma.[28] Shortly after Sonic and Mega Man transformed into Super Sonic and Super Armor Mega Man, Nicole had scanned the background radiation spectrum, finding out that Sigma was tearing reality apart, without any signs of repair. Luckily, Xander Payne opened a Genesis Portal to the past and shot Sigma down before he enacted his plan, completely resetting everyone's worlds and memories. After the reset, Sonic had Nicole contact Shadow for him.[29]

   Act Two Nicole continued to aid the Freedom Fighters on their adventures. Nicole went with Sonic, Chip, Sally and Bunnie on a mission in the Thunder Plains Zone where she compared Sonic and Sally's tactic when Sonic had defeated E-118 Tau. They later discovered that the Chaos Emerald that had been lost to Eggman previously was missing, leaving Sally, Bunnie and Nicole to find it at the nearby Northamer Egg Army base.[30] Sally was confronted by Egg Boss Clove the Pronghorn and Nicole told her not to mention anything about the emerald. After promising to leave Clove's people alone, Sally and Nicole joined up with Bunnie once again, the latter of which found the Emerald.[31][32][33]

   Nicole later helps Sonic and Sally present a broadcast to their allies, discussing the plan to stage a worldwide attack on the Eggman Empire as a distraction.[34] However, Nicole soon discovered an interruption in the Sky Patrol's systems and found Tails Doll linked up to it. Out from this data link emerged Phage who fought Nicole. Most systems on the Sky Patrol were shut down but after Rotor removed Tails Doll's link and Tails gave Nicole a Red Star Ring, Overclocked Nicole was able to turn some on again. She tried to catch Phage but she escaped as the Sky Patrol's engines were blown up. As Overclocked Nicole began to feel the strain from her transformation, she asked Tails to remove the Red Star Ring, but failed when the ring became too hot to touch.[35]

   Nicole's handheld's destruction Sally and Tails mourning over the loss of Nicole and her handheld, from Sonic the Hedgehog #285.

   As a result of the power overload, Nicole's handheld overheated and broke apart. When Sally had returned from her battle with two Battle Bird Armada grunts, she was notified on Nicole's handheld and the situation of the Holo-Lynx. Sally and Tails mourned, shortly before being alarmed that Nicole was still functioning within the Sky Patrol's systems, and communicating through the Miles Electric. She also was able to reactivate the engines to keep the Sky Patrol floating. Soon, the heroes came up with a new plan to stop Eggman's Death Egg from absorbing the Dark Gaia energy from his Summoning Spire, in which Rotor was in charge of. Asking Nicole to be with him one last time while the Sky Patrol was on its last leg, Rotor and Nicole headed straight towards the Death Egg, preparing to battle the flying fortress.[36] Nicole gave Rotor a very low status on the ship while he fought the Death Egg. Eventually, the Death Egg shot the Sky Patrol out of the sky, forcing Nicole's servers to be put on reserve power.[37] Luckily, the Death Egg did not make it to the spire in time due to Perfect Dark Gaia and once Super Sonic and Chip defeated it, the latter asked Sally to say goodbye to Nicole for him.[38]

   Personality Originally, Nicole's behavior was completely logic-orientated, with logic being the only motivation behind any decision, and she seemed lacking in autonomy.

   As time went on though, Nicole became more lifelike, and currently possesses many of the traits of a living being which she is fully regarded as by her friends. She is friendly, helpful, and a loyal member of the Freedom Fighters, having helped her friends at her own risk more than once. She is also able to express concern and support for others, and feeling guilty at risking the mental stability of her friends when restoring their old memories, and is not without the ability to mock or express defiance.

   Despite her experiences, Nicole is at times out of touch with the life-like side of herself, reverting to the more logical thought processes of a machine as she dismisses the illogical nature of magic and wishful thinking, and initially seeing the beautiful Crystal Cave as little more than a mineral deposit. Despite this, she is capable of appreciating beauty as she experiences the wonders of having an actual body, and of helping others in times of difficulty. In addition, Nicole has become somewhat philosophical, realizing how important it is to preserve the wonders of the world they are fighting for.

   Nicole also seems to resent her previous emotionless self as she states to Dr. Ellidy that, while she can recall past memories, she does not like looking back to them as she now sees them in a whole new perspective.

   Powers and abilities As a computer, Nicole possesses a variety of abilities. In her handheld form, she can interface with other mechanical systems, allowing her to access and download information or even provide the Freedom Fighters with control over various unfriendly technologies. She also possesses a genius-level intellect, as she can process information and possess knowledge far beyond the average person.

   Nicole Fighting in Digital World Nicole's weapon in the Digital World, from Sonic Universe #71.

   Nicole can project a small hologram of her lynx form from her hand-held. When fitted with a Power Ring, she can fully assume her lynx form, though it dissipates if the Power Ring runs out. In her holographic form, she has fully functional limbs and the use of several senses. While her hologram form is vulnerable to attack, no damage is incurred to Nicole so long as her handheld form remains unharmed. Nicole also is able to create barriers of an unknown greenish energy, which are strong enough to block laser fire.[16] In the Digital World, Nicole's abilities are expanded remarkably to the point she is capable of virtually anything she wishes, making her a fierce opponent. There, Nicole's powers are incredible, ranging from modifying and controlling existing virtual structures to creating new material, such as weapons-she seems to favor a pitchfork-like implement.[2] She is also capable of producing digital energy blasts and creating firewalls, though her strength is not unlimited.

   When reality was reshaped, Nicole somehow absorbed residual energy from the Super Genesis Wave, which severely compromised her systems. However, contact with her computer body allowed inhabitants of the altered reality to regain their memories of the unaltered world (except for Sonic), though the process would be mentally overwhelming and even threaten other's mental stability. Once all the leftover Genesis Wave energy had been spent, she lost this ability.[6][10]

   Overclocked Nicole Main article: Overclocked Nicole With a Red Star Ring hooked up to Nicole's handheld, Nicole can become Overclocked Nicole. In this form, Nicole's powers in the Digital World is greatly enhanced, reaching the point where she can easily overpower Phage.

   Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog Being at the epicenter of the Super Genesis Wave, Sonic was one of the few to retain his dual memory, and also one of the first to interact with the glitched out Nicole, along with Tails. Sonic and Nicole's easy and lightheaded friendship remained through the reality change and Sonic immediately agrees with Nicole's plan to find the other Freedom Fighters and de-bug her.[6]

8. #8Rouge the Batconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Rouge the Bat.

   Rouge the Bat is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic bat and jewel thief who has worked as a part-time government spy[11] for the President of the United Federation and in close association with the Guardian Units of Nations. A world-famous treasure hunter,[12] Rouge has a weakness for jewels, like the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds, which she always obsesses about. As a spy, Rouge is trained in combat, stealth and infiltration, and possesses both super-level kicking power and flight. Rouge is in short, an enigma, as her motivations are always in question. In truth, she is usually just out for herself. She is incredibly smart, sassy, and seductive, and knows how to get what she wants. Once she has a target in mind, she always goes for it, regardless of the costs. Beneath her ditsy exterior though, she is a calculating realist and her motives are always mercenary in nature. Regardless, she is loyal to her closest friends and has more than once helped Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies save the world.

   Appearance Rouge is an anthropomorphic bat with white fur, turquoise-green eyes with two large eyelashes on each one, tan skin and a curvy figure. She has large pointy ears, small fangs, a small black nose on her muzzle, a short pointy tail, and a pair of dark purple wings on her back. Only her head appears to have fur, which flares out into six points at the back. Rouge usually wears makeup consisting of powder-blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick. For attire, Rouge wears a black bodysuit which includes a skin-tight and strapless low-cut unitard that sports a pink, heart-shaped chestplate outlined with thin white-trimming. She also wears elbow-length white gloves and thigh-high high-heeled boots with pink cuffs to match them, with the latter featuring both gray soles and heels, along with steel toes in the appearance of pink hearts, matching her leotard's chestplate.

   History Past Adventures ARK Flashback Inside The incident aboard the Space Colony ARK.

   Some time ago, Rouge participated in a situation involving the Space Colony ARK, in which Eggman used its Eclipse Cannon to blow up a part of the moon in order to show the world the power that he wielded. These events lead to Rouge teaming up with Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog, and even Dr. Eggman himself to save the world.[3] (StH: #5, #6)

   Eggman Hunt Following Dr. Eggman's disappearance, Rouge aided Shadow the Hedgehog in his search to hunt down Eggman and prevent him from causing a counter-attack. Rouge quickly found the doctor's location, but anonymously passed that information to the Chaotix of the Chaotix Detective Agency in order to both verify that it was Eggman and to bring in Sonic the Hedgehog to help bring Shadow to reason. (StH: #6)

   Rouge mocking Shadow Rouge mocks Shadow over his jumping to conclusions.

   When Rouge and Shadow arrived late as Rouge had planned, an inevitable confrontation occurred between the two hedgehogs. During the battle, Rouge revealed herself as the Chaotix's anonymous source to the detectives and proceeded to speak with Mr. Tinker, who was Eggman's new identity, as he hid behind his barricade in his home, learning his story and apparent memory loss. Upon Shadow teleporting inside Tinker's home, Rouge tried to calm him down and explain but Sonic had already got through to Shadow. The hedgehog demanded to see the Eggman Land that Tinker had mentioned earlier, only for it to be a small playground Tinker had been making in secret for the children of the Windmill Village. Rouge ribbed Shadow for taking the matter so seriously and bid farewell to Sonic and the Chaotix on good terms. (StH: #1, #5, #6)

   Battle for Angel Island Rouge and Shadow were later called to Restoration HQ to aid the Resistance against Neo Metal Sonic, who had impersonated Eggman, taken command over his Egg Fleet and the Eggman Empire, and had now successfully conquered Angel Island and the Master Emerald. She and Shadow were appointed to Team Two as part of a three-pronged attack to take on Neo Metal Sonic. On the way to Angel Island, Rouge questioned Shadow about his motives for going from lone wolf to joining a massive group like the Resistance for this battle, only for him to remain secretive of his reasons. After the Resistance's battleship was shot down, Rouge saved Tangle the Lemur by flying her out of the explosion. Shadow quickly disappeared from Team Two, which Rouge was not surprised by. Rouge then followed Amy's orders to destroy the guns of the Egg Fleet battleship they were attacking. During the assault, she took out a few Egg Pawns with kicks and bombs. When Tails hijacked an Egg Fleet battleship to attack the rest of the fleet parked on one of the wings protruding from Angel Island, Rouge grabbed Amy and flew her to another battleship. After a safe landing, the two women briefly conversed about Shadow discarding their plan. They suspected that he would most likely be going after Neo Metal Sonic on his own, which Rouge vowed to scold him for later. (StH: #9, #10)

   Some time later, the Resistance saw Angel Island beginning to fall as Master Overlord (Neo Metal Sonic further transformed) approached them. A new plan was quickly forged to disable the wings of Master Overlord as Knuckles the Echidna tried to remove the Master Emerald that was powering it. The Resistance, still aboard an Egg Fleet ship, charged towards Master Overlord and swarmed onto his body once he caught the vessel in his grasp. Rouge flew Tangle and Whisper the Wolf into the fight, planting her bombs along one of Master Overlord's wings. Whisper then detonated them with her Variable Wispon, cleanly tearing off the entire structure. Master Overlord quickly threw off his attackers, sending them hurling towards the sea below before Silver the Hedgehog caught them all using his psychokinesis. Master Overlord then attempted to attack Silver, only for Tails to ram him with his commandeered battleship and give Knuckles the chance he needed to finally remove the Master Emerald and place it on Angel Island. With Angel Island floating again and Metal Sonic reduced to his original form, Rouge and the Resistance were in high spirits except for Shadow who skulked away, which Rouge noted as being something that he would do before she joined the after party. (StH: #11)

   As everyone got ready to leave, Rouge managed to find an Eggman beach chair and used it to relax on top of the newly repaired Egg Fleet battleship. Sonic soon joined her for a chat and asked if she was going to return to spying once they got back home. While Rouge remained ambiguous, she found enjoyment in the view of the Master Emerald. Sonic then left Rouge be, telling her to give Shadow his thanks once she saw him again. (StH: #12)

   Tomb Raiding Rouge later infiltrated an abandoned pyramid base of Dr. Eggman's in search of a rumored life time's worth of treasure hidden inside. Sticking to the shadows, she observed the skunk brothers Rough and Tumble setting off the pyramid's booby traps, and the larger skunk brother cowering over a supposed "curse" upon the base. Taking an opportunity for a little fun, Rouge surprised both of them before revealing her intentions to steal the treasure, just like the two brothers planned to. Rough then launched an assault on Rouge's senses by using his Stink Bomber ability to distract her as the two brothers made a run for the treasure. Not about to let the riches fall into their hands, Rouge chased after them, only to discover Rough and Tumble had awakened the Egg Golem. Rouge left the two of them to fight the giant robot as she searched for its remote, only to discover it was being controlled by a group of villagers who were using the pyramid as a place of refuge. Rouge then quickly hatched a scheme to scare off the thieving brothers and wrapped herself in bandages, pretending to have been turned into a mummy by the "curse." The brothers ran for their dear lives and the villagers came out of hiding. More than willing to offer Rouge their gratitude, they showed her the hidden treasure and let her take what she wanted as long as she kept it a secret from outsiders. (SA: 2019)

   Metal Virus Following reports that Dr. Eggman had returned and was planning to attack Sunset City, Shadow and E-123 Omega were deployed to respond to the threat as Rouge radioed for Sonic as reinforcements. Dismayed as she had planning some thefts of the city's jewellery stores, Rouge was now in charge and organizing the rescue of the Metal Virus survivors. Managing to get survivors to the Grand Gold Flicky Hotel with Sonic's help and direct troops effectively, Rouge took the time to inquire about Sonic's condition as he too had been infected with the virus, but had managed to delay his transformation thanks to his speed. Awaiting Shadow to arrive with transport, more survivors arrived with Zombots hot on their heels. Once Shadow arrived with transport, the Ultimate Lifeform went on the offensive, leaving Rouge to organize survivors into the truck as Omega safeguarded it from the Zombots. Rouge could see Shadow fighting the Zombots in hand-to-hand, a reckless move in her eyes, and one that proved to be Shadow's undoing as he was infected by the Metal Virus. Rouge ordered Shadow to run, knowing that moving at high speeds had allowed Sonic to delay the virus from fully infecting him, but Shadow continued to fight. Unable to get assistance from Omega as he held the line against the Zombots, Rouge radioed Amy Rose for assistance as Shadow was swarmed and had transformed into a Zombot before Sonic arrived back on the scene to fight the Ultimate Lifeform. Rouge could only watch as Shadow began to attack Sonic, locking him into a choke hold before the blue blur escaped and managed to draw Shadow and the Zombots away from the truck. With the last of the survivors loaded into the transport, Sonic ordered Rouge and the truck to flee, which the bat did without hesitation, thankful for Sonic's assistance. Rouge brought the survivors to Restoration HQ, planning her next move and awaiting news of Shadow, only for Sonic to confirm the virus had taken him. Upset with this news, Rouge stormed off, angered with Shadow and his stubbornness, before going off the radar. (StH: #18, #19, #20, #22)

   As the Restoration tried to contain the unstoppable spread of the Metal Virus, Rouge managed to infiltrate Dr. Eggman's Faceship and spy on his plans from the shadows. There she witnessed Dr. Starline's plan to use the Deadly Six to take back control the virus fail as the Zeti betrayed him and took the ship for themselves as doctors Eggman and Starline escaped using the Warp Topaz. With the Chaos Emeralds now in their possession, their power to control robots could be amplified and spread throughout the planet, allowing them to command thousands of Zombots. Rouge struck an alliance with Orbot and later Cubot who pretended to be subservient to Zavok and then she relayed this new information to the last of the Restoration who had now taken sanctuary on Angel Island, along with Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline and Metal Sonic. With a plan in place to steal the Chaos Emeralds from the Deadly Six and using the combined power of Super Sonic and the Warp Topaz to dispose of the virus, Rouge was tasked with taking the two Chaos Emeralds powering the Faceship and in the possession of Zavok. With the leader of the Deadly Six desperately searching for Eggman, time was of the essence for Rouge and the others and Orbot and Cubot stalled Zavok for them as much as they could as he came closer to finding Eggman. Eventually, Zavok discovered Eggman and Sonic were on Angel Island headed straight for in the Faceship and brought all of Sonic's infected friends with him. With time running out, Rouge stole the Chaos Emerald powering the Faceship, causing it to free fall. Planning to wait until the fires died down and collect the final Chaos Emerald from Zavok in the Faceship's wreckage, Zavok instead used the power of the Chaos Emerald to enhance his own, attack Angel Island and catapult Zombots on to the floating island. With time running out and the world seemingly doomed, Rouge spent what could have been her final moments with the "one she loved" sat atop the Master Emerald, much to the chagrin of Knuckles and Shadow. (StH: #25, #26, #27, #28, #29)

   Personality Rouge is an ideal spy able to be cunning, manipulative, deceitful, strategic, observational and tactful at the drop of a hat, such as when she delayed Shadow from finding Eggman and tipped off the Chaotix to Eggman's location, all to bring in Sonic to reign in Shadow and stop the situation getting too violent. This suggests a more compassionate side to her as well, or at least that she is not narrow-sighted or willing to act without a full story.

   Between Shadow and Rouge, the latter is by far the more reasonable of the group and she knows it, willing to hear someone out instead of rushing into violence, though she's hardly one to ignore obvious red flags. She's also got a sense of humor, often at the expense of teasing her friends, and a disarmingly flirtatious nature.

   She is also shown to put aside her greed at times to help others in need, such as when she aided the villagers hiding in the pyramid to keep Rough and Tumble from getting to them. Whether this was an act of genuine compassion or a means to an end of finding the pyramid's treasure faster is unknown though.

   Despite her love for jewels, she took the gems in the mineral museum to prevent the Babylon Rogues stealing it, mentioning that at least she'll only have them for the moment.

   Abilities Rouge is a super spy specializing in intelligence gathering, capable of flying at speed and strong enough to carry another creature similar to her own size at ease with just one hand. She is also a very competent combatant, often employing kicks with her powerful legs and personalized gadgetry such as her heart-emblazoned bombs.

9. #9Fiona Foxconstantselective

   Keys: Harem member, Fiona Fox.

   Fiona Fox (born 3221) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian fox who is a member of the Suppression Squad.

   She was one of the many victims of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's rise to power, and as a child, she was left in prison, abandoned by Sonic the Hedgehog and other Freedom Fighters. As a result, she came to develop a personal vengeful grudge against them, with time developing the darker traits of her personality. Upon escaping, Fiona led a life of treasure hunting and other petty crimes, until, following Sonic's apparent death, she attempted to turn over a new leaf by joining the Knothole Freedom Fighters, and even began a relationship with Sonic following his return from space. With time, however, Fiona gravitated back towards her old ways, and ultimately decided she preferred the darker side of life. To this end, Fiona fell in love with Sonic's Moebius counterpart, Scourge the Hedgehog, becoming his girlfriend, and later Queen of Moebius itself following Scourge's takeover, and became a member of the Suppression Squad. However, following the other members of the Suppression Squad betraying both Scourge and Fiona, Scourge was being sent back to his home world, Fiona fled from Freedom HQ, though her loyalty to Scourge remained.

   Appearance At first, Fiona had brown fur and brown hair that was always seen with a yellow bow perched on it. She also used to wear yellow boots with a belt that had a dagger in its holster. Fiona's design then changed to have brown hair that was longer than the first design for her hair but retained her yellow bow. She also stopped wearing the belt and dagger and yellow boots and changed to wear a yellow zip-up leotard that had a white stripe in the middle, a gray neck-cuff, and arm and leg holes. With this leotard also came long, yellow sneakers with gray cuffs that matched the neck-cuff. Fiona's sneakers also had a white design at the toes. This outfit last appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog #172.

   For her current design, Fiona looks far more different than she did before: she is taller and slenderer, has red hair and a yellow muzzle, and no longer has a lighter color of fur on her belly. Her hair is also longer, thicker and a bit more spiked. As with her previous design change, she still retains her yellow bow. Fiona also now wears a black belly top, black elbow-length fingerless gloves, a gray belted-skirt with a black buckled-belt, and black skinny pants that have gray padded shoes attached to them. During her time in Zone Jail, Fiona wore an orange, collared, button-down top tied just above her belly, and matching baggy, orange pants. She still sports the same black gloves, black shoes and the same yellow bow. When she and Scourge escaped, she wore his black, flamed, torn-up leather jacket and his sunglasses.

   History Imprisonment As a child, Fiona was one of many mobians that was captured to serve in Dr. Ivo Robotnik's mining camps. Not long after arriving, she and her fellow inmate Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel caused an uprising that was quickly quelled by the robots guarding the camp. While Mighty and Ray were locked up in isolation, Fiona was taken away for another purpose. Not long after, a young Sonic the Hedgehog (who was investigating the camp as one of his early Freedom Fighting missions) arrived and freed both Mighty and Ray.[2][3][4]

   The three then went out in an attempt to rescue Fiona but ultimately failed. Due to the mysterious disappearance of Ray, Mighty went berserk and began trashing the facility, forcing Robotnik to abandon it. Fiona was brought away by Robotnik when he fled and relocated to a new facility built to be identical to the previous one. While there, she was used as the basis for one of Robotnik's many robotic replicas designed to infiltrate the Freedom Fighters. Soon after creating the robotic duplicate, Robotnik left the real Fiona to die in a prison cell.[5][6]

   Escape and Life as a Treasure Hunter FionaMeetsNic.jpg Fiona meeting Nic for the first time, from Knuckles the Echidna #28.

   After a long period of imprisonment, Fiona realized that, like at the lab, no one would rescue her, and thus she became determined to do so herself. Through long, grueling attempts she managed to dig an escape tunnel from her cell, eventually reaching freedom outside. The first person she encountered was Nicolette the Weasel, a bounty hunter on a treasure hunting mission.[5][6]

   Fiona and Nic both became involved in treasure hunting and thievery, which soon resulted in a rivalry with Rouge the Bat. The two later were joined by Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear, all of whom suffered defeat in underground fighting tournaments thanks to Rouge. Eventually she and Nic returned to the mining camp to see if they could find anymore Power Gems; unfortunately, the lab door was locked and neither could open it.[7]

   Fiona remained somewhat embittered by her past encounter with Sonic and Mighty. This became apparent after Nic decided to gain Mighty's assistance to gain access to the laboratory, as Fiona explained how she felt abandoned by the two. While exploring the camp, they discovered several unused robotic replicas of the Freedom Fighters. Eventually they reached the door, and Mighty forced it open. Inside they discovered a Power Gem - as well as Ray, who had apparently been stuck in a form of suspended animation by the gem. Despite herself, Nic destroyed the gem in order to free Ray.[3][5]

   Freedom Fighter Sometime after Sonic's apparent death due to the Quantum Dial, Fiona joined the Freedom Fighters. She acted in a general capacity, showing both computer and medical skills. Upon Sonic's return from space, Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighter task force sent to Old Megaopolis to prevent Eggman from launching nuclear missiles at both Station Square and Knothole. While on board the FFS-M2, Fiona asked Rotor if they should all have space suits, as the ship flew to Mobius' outer atmosphere. Later, she provided medical attention to Sonic, who'd been wounded by Eggman's robotic "daughter", Mecha. Fiona was also the one to explain to Sonic that Antoine and Bunnie had broken up during his absence in space.[8][9][10][11][6]

   Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighters during their mission to an ancient laboratory to discover the cause of severe seismic activities. She briefly left the group in an attempt to hot-wire the lab's systems, though due to its self-defenses she was unable to. At one point, Fiona, Rotor and Bunnie had all been electrocuted by the lab's self-defense systems, but were saved in time by Tommy Turtle. After, Fiona discovered a heavily powered rifle, but was informed by Rotor the Freedom Fighters never resorted to gun-like weapons.[12][13][14]

   StH 153 Pg7 Fiona doesn't want to believe Sonic would purposely abandon her like he did, but notes he can be quite selfish, from Sonic the Hedgehog issue #153.

   Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighters to the Nanite City to rescue Bunnie, and was wary of working with Snively to prevent the nanites from spreading. During a period of rest, Fiona explained her long-held resentment towards Sonic due to him seemingly abandoning her in the prison camp, and that after witnessing his selfless efforts battling the Quantum Dial, developed a sense respect for him, and realized he didn't deliberately leave her behind all those years ago. Following this, she helped the Freedom Fighters to defend Mina Mongoose from a series of Bombs attacking her concert, and she was present at the Brain Trust's examination of the discovered Nanites.

   StH 155 Pg4 Fiona and Sonic try dating, from Sonic the Hedgehog #155.

   Following this, Fiona and Sonic began a relationship. The two were discovered secretly flirting near a bush by Tails, and after Fiona explained she felt no romantic connections to him like she did Sonic, Tails left angrily. The same day, Sonic managed to prevent Anti-Antoine from killing Prince Elias, and after sending him back to Anti Mobius, Fiona and Sonic began officially dating.

   When Bean and Bark attacked Freedom HQ and it was obvious that they knew Fiona, shades of her past were revealed and, despite her assistance in stopping the attack, seeds of doubt were planted among the minds of the Freedom Fighters. When the Chaotix needed info on Rouge, Fiona reluctantly explained her past encounters with the bat, as well as her past involvements in crime. Sonic continued to support Fiona, but eventually it became more and more obvious that something was going on, as Fiona developed a tendency to disappear and skip missions.

   Betrayal Betrayl Fiona gives into her sorrow, abandoning Sonic and choosing Scourge, from Sonic the Hedgehog #172.

   During the time when Rouge was in Knothole, Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg appeared, looking for her on behalf of Dr. Finitevus. He held Tails and Fiona hostage while Sonic battled Scourge the Hedgehog. During it all, Fiona called Sleuth a traitor; he replied that she was one herself. Scourge also taunted Sonic for hanging out with "his" girlfriend. A compromise was reached; Sleuth would leave Rouge alone if the Warp Ring she had stolen was returned. Sonic returned the ring; however, it became apparent that between Sleuth and Fiona, Tails had learned a horrible secret. Because of his conflicted feelings between Fiona and Sonic, he did not tell the latter what he had learned.

   Eventually his guilt caught up with him and he confided in Amy Rose; Fiona had been cheating on Sonic with Scourge, Sonic's evil self from an alternate dimension, over the course of their entire relationship. Amy, enraged that anyone would betray Sonic's heart, sought out and attacked Fiona. While dodging blows, Fiona feigned confusion, though briefly slipped in a smug grin and told Amy no one would believe her anyway. To the surprise of both, Sonic casually butted in and told Fiona he wanted to talk. As they walked, he confronted her about lying and her disappearances. She became indignant, but all was soon explained when Scourge showed up; Fiona was in love with the evil hedgehog. When Evil Sonic had infiltrated Knothole Village, he had hit on several of the girls there, including Fiona, before being ousted. Fiona, having realized that she'd fallen for a fake, tried to find the same attraction in the real Sonic and thus began to date him. Unfortunately, she found him too "vanilla" for her tastes; she preferred Scourge's dark side and began to sneak off with him.[15]

   Finally exposed, she decided she no longer cared to keep up the charade or act as a Freedom Fighter. Tails suddenly intervened, begging her not to do so and appealing to her good nature. She gently told him that despite his intellect, he didn't realize one thing - "you can't count on anybody." She then slapped him across the face. Sonic, enraged at her cruelty, protested, and Fiona cited his abandonment of her, back in the mining camp, as an example. Shortly after she and Scourge then escaped via Warp Ring.[15]

   Working for Dr. Finitevus Fiona reappeared not too long afterwards, sporting a new look and taking up a role as one of Dr. Finitevus' agents. Together with Scourge, she came bearing bad news: not only had the Dingo Regime decided to attack Echidnaopolis, but the warring factions of the Dark Legion under Lien-Da and Remington had put aside their conflict to stop Finitevus' plans to resurrect Enerjak, the arch-nemesis of Knuckles the Echidna. While Finitevus left to complete his work, Scourge sat down to relax while Fiona bristled at the situation, clearly disliking the albino Echidna as much as Rouge had in her brief time in the doctor's service. She didn't have long to complain, however, before the new Enerjak made his awe-inspiring debut right in front of her and Scourge. Fiona played a part in the recreation of this awesome figure, as she and Scourge had worked with the other Destructix to knock out Knuckles the Echidna when he returned to Angel Island, and delivered him to Dr. Finitevus whose plans finally came together to make a new Enerjak out of the original's greatest foe.

   While Enerjak started his campaign against the elements of Mobius he had decided to eliminate, Fiona and the other Destructix were sent by Dr. Finitevus to guard a weapon that had been built by the Brotherhood of Guardians as a precaution against Enerjak's return. She and her allies would soon be forced to defend it from Knuckles' father Locke, Sonic, and Julie-Su. Though the battle was intense-not to mention an opportunity for Fiona to point out that Sonic and his allies had often beaten their foes either because of superior numbers or because their enemies had been ordered to lose-it ended quite abruptly when Sonic destroyed the weapon and the Destructix left, not sure of what to do next. The battle between Super Sonic and Enerjak decided for them, and Fiona left Mobius in Scourge's company as the green Hedgehog set out to find his true self, while the Destructix fled through a different Warp Ring.

   The Suppression Squad The Warp Ring brought the couple to Moebius where Scourge invaded his home world, determined to re-make and set everything on his world apart from Mobius Prime. Scourge made Fiona his queen and second in command of the Suppression Squad after conquering the planet. Fiona did her duties well, only being contested by Princess Alicia, who was the original heir to the throne before Scourge's takeover. Under Fiona's supervision, the Squad repaired a pair of stolen Globe Posts and used them to launch a successful invasion of Freedom HQ.

   When Sonic returned during the Suppression Squad and Freedom Fighter ambush, he was blocked by Fiona. At the time, she claimed she was betrayed time after time, and couldn't rely on or trust anyone. Sonic then pointed out that she was breaking her own rule for Scourge, and implied that Fiona might actually care for Scourge, making her cry. Furious, she yelled that it wasn't "like that", but Sonic simply told her, "keep telling yourself that".[16]

   Following Scourge being tossed back to Moebius by the Suppression Squad, Fiona fled from the scene. Scourge would later question Patch if she was with them when they arrived back in Moebius, stating that she was smarter than the Suppression Squad for getting out "when the going was good".

   Rejoining the Destructix Fiona later appeared when Sonic and Tails waited for Monkey Khan and Sally to finish talking to the Yagyu Lord. She said that she fled "when the going was good" and found the Destructix. She was wondering why Drago and Sleuth left but learned that they joined Eggman and Fiona then became leader of the Destructix, who came to the Dragon Kingdom to get Lightning Lynx (who left when he was called back from exile by Conquering Storm) to join the Destructix. After a "quick game of tag", Fiona and the remaining Destructix asked Sonic, Tails, Monkey Khan, and Sally to help them get Lightning Lynx back. To ensure Tails would join, she started playing on the young fox's emotions to which Sally punched her in the stomach. Nevertheless, they joined and after Sonic beat Lightning Lynx in a fight, he was exiled again and rejoined the Destructix, as well as the Raiju Clan breaking their ties to the Iron Dominion.

   Journey to the East Currently with her personal ideas, Fiona decided to gather some of the Destructix at the Bottom of the Barrel Bar 'n' Grill, but only found the remains in the form of Sergeant Simian, Predator Hawk and Flying Frog. Drago Wolf had left the group to rejoin the Eggman Empire, while Sleuth handed over leadership to Fiona so as to preserve his own interests. The trio eventually agreed to serve her, but only if she helped them recover their much more valued comrade, Lightning Lynx, who was residing in the Dragon Kingdom.

   The four then set out to the Dragon Kingdom, where Fiona confronted Sonic and Tails within a bamboo forest as part of a trap, vaguely mentioning she'd been busy since they last met. A chase through the thicket led the duo to the remaining members of the Destructix. Once Sonic and Tails were subdued, she told them they had something to "discuss"- namely an alliance that would meet with her own ends. However, she didn't get a chance to until she ordered her muscle to stop fighting the Freedom Fighters after Sally Acorn and Monkey Khan showed up. After a brief engagement—in which Fiona and Sally clashed heatedly and she was punched in the gut after toying with Tails—they reached an agreement, and she revealed her plan. Reluctantly, the Freedom Fighters joined them, as they were also set to clash with the Raiju Clan: the Freedom Fighters looking to break ties between the Clan and the Iron Dominion, and the Destructix looking to convince Lightning to leave the comrades he had rejoined. The unlikely team soon stormed the Iron Fortress, and Fiona and Sally were flown over the walls to unlock part of the gate mechanism. After they found the Bride of Conquering Storm, Sonic and Lightning battled to determine the outcome of their journeys; a defeated Lightning left with the Destructix. Eager to win his loyalty, Fiona promised that her plans would see everyone who had done them wrong repaid.

   Jail Breaking In an attempt to free Scourge from the Zone Jail in the No Zone, Fiona gathered the Destructix and purposely vandalized and fought against the Zone Cops in the Cosmic Interstate. As of the result, they allowed themselves to get captured and Fiona eventually met up with Scourge, who couldn't use his abilities due to a Control Collar around his neck. Scourge seemed frustrated at them and was reluctant to use their assistance, but Fiona persuaded Scourge to convince the Destructix that they could have revenge against their former enemies/allies.

   Upon succeeding in this plan, Fiona and the rest of the Zone Jail prisoners caused a jail break, but only Scourge, the rest of the Destructix, and her managed to escape through a Warp Ring. They now plan to aid Dr. Finitevus in a plan of some kind in Moebius.

   Personality Fiona was a determined fighter, eager to oppose evil since her capture at the hands of Robotnik. Somewhat prideful, she tends to hold grudges, such as against Rouge the Bat, who defeated her and the other members of Nic's gang in an illegal fighting tournament, and towards Sonic and Mighty the Armadillo for failing to save her when she was captured by Robotnik as a child. She has had a history of mild illegal activity, including robbery, hinting at her less than noble nature. She is also extremely clever, and has an acute memory. However, she was clearly reluctant to talk about her past. It was later revealed that she chose to follow a darker path in life (likely due to her past) and developed a relationship with Scourge, preferring the "evil" version of Sonic to the virtuous real deal.

   Relationships Miles "Tails" Prower Tails Fiona Tails approaching Fiona, from Sonic the Hedgehog #134.

   Tails was Fiona's comrade from when she was a Freedom Fighter. Tails had a huge crush on Fiona ever since he met a younger, robotic version of her during one of his solo adventures. While being touched by his attention and care, Fiona saw Tails the way she saw the other Freedom Fighters. She went on to tell him about it when Tails discovered her relationship with Sonic. This left Tails heartbroken. Regardless, they remained on good terms, as Fiona would still pet his head with affection. Things changed, however, when Fiona met Scourge, whom she fell in love with and started hanging out with in secret. When Tails learned about it from Sleuth, he did not want to tell Sonic out of fear of losing Fiona forever. When he later pleaded with Fiona not to go with Scourge, Fiona cruelly slapped him.

   In order to reform the Destructix, Fiona went to Sonic and Tails for help. While she failed to convince Sonic, she turned to Tails until Sally punched her.

   Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic was Fiona's first boyfriend. She saw him save Mighty and Ray while she was left behind. This made her hold a grudge against Sonic until she joined the Freedom Fighters and got to know him better. They eventually started hanging out some time after Sonic and Sally broke up with each other. They proceeded to have a passionate relationship until Scourge showed up and assumed Sonic's identity for a while. This worked with Fiona as she secretly engaged in a new relationship with Scourge after his real identity got revealed. While she insisted that everything was a lie, Sonic started to notice that she did not look at him as before and doubted her motives. Though he learned the truth, he invited Fiona to explain herself. Eventually, Fiona told him that she did not feel the same attraction in him as Scourge, and thus broke up with him.

   Scourge the Hedgehog Scourge is Fiona's current boyfriend. They met during the time Scourge posed as Sonic on Mobius. During this time, Fiona immediately felt a stronger attraction to him than Sonic. She thus engaged in a secret relationship with him and complied to his schemes. When Sleuth told about this to Tails, Fiona insisted that it was a lie and kept hanging out with Sonic. Fiona later told Sonic that she did not feel the same attraction in him because he was weak and nice. As such, Fiona and Scourge left for Moebius to start their empire.

   Amy Rose Amy VS Fiona Fiona fighting Amy, from Sonic the Hedgehog #172.

   Since the beginning, Amy and Fiona did not have the best relationship. At Sonic's surprise birthday party, she watched Fiona hugging Sonic with bitter jealousy.[1] No matter her jealousy, however, she and Fiona were comrades as part of the Freedom Fighters and fought to protect the Kingdom of Knothole. However, Amy would attack Fiona when she learned about her unfaithfulness, and tried reminding Fiona about Sonic's feelings. While Fiona told her that Sonic would not believe her. Amy later came back to punish Fiona for hurting him and forcing her to leave.

    Sonia is one of the heirs to the throne of Mobius, who are prophesied to rule as the Council of Four. In order to fulfill this prophecy, Sonia was separated from her family shortly after birth. She was raised by the wealthy Lady Windermere until her unfortunate roboticization by Dr. Robotnik. Following the "song in her heart," she reunited her brothers Sonic and Manic. After a period of training, she and her brothers set out to find their lost mother, defeat Dr. Robotnik, and restore order to Mobius.

    Archie Comics Underground Sonia Sonia, from Sonic Super Special #10.

    Shortly after the royal triplets' births, Dr. Robotnik would seize power of Mobotropolis and convert it into the polluted and metallic city of Robotropolis. A bounty was placed on the children of the queen, and thus Queen Aleena was forced to take them into hiding. Eventually, the Oracle of Delphius appeared before her with a prophecy which foretold that she would have to separate with her children in order save their lives. She sent the siblings to three different caretakers, and Sonia was placed in the care of Lady Windermere, an aristocrat. Sonia would learn how to play the keyboard and went off to form a band after meeting Sonic and Manic. The Oracle of Delphius reappeared to tell the children of their origins. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Robotnik captured Lady Windermere, as well as Sonic and Manic's guardians, and roboticized them. It was then that the three hedgehog children would form an alliance with each other to locate their missing mother.[4]

    Sonia and her siblings would engage Robotnik in battle many times. Evil Sonic would appear in Manic's reality on a mission from Robo-Robotnik v1.0 to recover the Giant Borg. Believing Sonic also possessed a piece of the Giant Borg, he located and interrogated him and his siblings. The evil hedgehog departed only for two new Sonics to appear: Sonic Prime and Zonic the Zone Cop. Sonia, Sonic and Manic mistook Sonic Prime for Evil Sonic until the two new hedgehogs explained who they are. Zonic would remark how he had a lack of data on Sonic and his dimension and would request an explanation of their reality's history.[4]

    Sonia, Manic and Sonic would then team up with Sonic Prime and Zonic to stop the threat of Giant Borg. After defeating Giant Borg, Sonia and Manic freed Evil Sonic from jail after Robotnik imprisoned him. For helping Robotnik get the components of Giant Borg in the first place, Evil Sonic was then taken into custody by Zonic, who left Sonia and her siblings to continue their fight.[4]

    Around the time of Sonic Prime's absence following the Xorda Attack on Mobius, Sonia and her siblings made a visit to Mobius Prime as part of an Interdimensional concert tour.[5]

    Personality As Sonia was raised with luxury and wealth, she was originally quite high-maintenance, spoiled and snotty. She hates getting dirty and constantly worries about the condition of her hair and clothes. Although she appears to be selfish, she is generally good-natured and helps those that; are in need. Sonia is known to occasionally talk like a valley girl. Sonia always addresses her mother as simply "Mother" due to being raised in a polite society.

    Despite all this, Sonia has been shown to like performing daring acts, such as walking on a high brick wall. She is also very athletic, and appears to be good at gymnastics. Sonia is very self-sufficient and does not hesitate in taking on any threat or challenge that she may encounter, often coming out on top. She likes to think things through and on many occasions, has helped her brothers out of their own troubles (although she sometimes thinks of them as nothing more than pains). Sonia hates messy things like dirt and mud.

    Powers and abilities Sonia is physically the strongest of her siblings. She is able to lift heavy objects[6] as well as destroy barriers of various materials. She is skilled in martial arts, which she uses for offensive and defensive measures, and is also extremely agile. As a child, she was shown to be able to balance from high beams, and gracefully flip down on her feet. As an adult, she can easily flip and dodge around Swatbot beams. She does not have Sonic's speed, but is able to use the Sonia Spin, where she spins in a cyclonic manner. She also has a photographic memory.

    Sonia holds excellent piloting skill and talented driver, for example she rides a motorbike like a real pro who can perform stunts, in the episode "Come Out Wherever You Are" Sonia pilots the predator with virtual passengers with a lot of address then in real with the same results. In addition, she is remarkably good at belly dancing, which she performed disguised as a dancer on "the cosmic dance" in order to go unnoticed. Like her brothers, she has mastered the art of disguise skillfully enough to sneak around and etc.

    Sonia is a very talented singer and keyboard player and has been a great pianist since childhood, as shown in the episode "Beginnings". In the song "Liberty's Gonna Rock", Sonia is shown to be able to play the piccolo as well.

    Weapons Main article: Medallion (Sonic Underground) Sonia's medallion transforms into a keyboard synthesizer which is capable of firing laser blasts as well as creating smoke screens. The keyboard also transforms into a laser rifle which she uses to attack.

    Relationships Romances Bartleby Sonia was engaged to Bartleby at the beginning of the series. Eventually, the engagement was called off for unexplained reasons, but it can be assumed that it was because she was in the Resistance while he was an aristocrat.

    Stripes When an orange tiger named Stripes greeted Sonia, he fell in love with her. However, he was working for Dr. Robotnik, who was trying to pin the location of the Sonic Underground. Stripes gave away the locations of Sonic and Manic, but did not mention Sonia because he did not want Robotnik to harm her. After Sleet and Dingo showed up, they planned to roboticize everyone in the village including the Sonic Underground, but in turn Sonia saved Stripes. After being saved, Stripes tells the villagers to help protect the village from Robotnik. After Sleet and Dingo fled the village, he tries to make Sonia stay but she plainly states the business she does with her brothers is too important and says they would come back when they needed a little rest and relaxation.

    Knuckles the Echidna It was obvious that Knuckles the Echidna and Sonia fancied each other. When Knuckles disappeared in "New Echidna in Town", Sonia got really upset, almost to the point of tears. Manic even claimed, after Knuckles had returned, that Sonia was ready to give up Mobius to rescue him. When Knuckles told Robotnik not to roboticize the Sonic Underground, he paused on Sonia's name. Robotnik double-crossed him and went to roboticize Sonia first, which in turn made Knuckles angry. At the end of the episode, she kissed him on the cheek and they held hands.

    Dingo Sonia is the object of a crush from Robotnik's muscular henchman, Dingo, but she constantly rejects him and shows him nothing but contempt, despising him for his evil ways and being disgusted by his ugly appearance.

    Sonia-card-rip The Sonia artwork, from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.

    In the Wii and Steam versions of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Sonia appears on a playing card representing the Queen of Diamonds which can be spotted on the ground of the race track, Roulette Road. Sonia's head was taken from a piece of fan art from deviantART drawn by a user formerly known as Lightning_duchess and RianaLD (Now ArtByRiana). Steve Lycett, Game director commented on the cameo by saying; "We take these things seriously at Sumo and will be contacting the original artist directly to offer our sincere apologies to her, this was entirely unintentional. Not much else I can really add!" Pure speculation indicates that designers may have thought it was Amy (since other Queen of Diamonds cards in the game depict Amy) and thought the picture was official Sega artwork. More speculation reveals there may have been a Sonic Underground fan on staff who put the card in there as a little treat to those who remember the decade old cartoon show and may have forgotten to ask permission.[7]

    Keys: Location, Emerald City.

    Emerald City, also known as Seattle Zone, is an area that appears in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. It was added to promote the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film.

    Description Emerald City is an urban region based on Seattle from the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film. The area is a large and modern seaport city set during nighttime in the middle of rainy weather, the sky being overcast by dark blue and purple clouds. In the horizon, one can spot various tall buildings and skyscrapers in dark-colors and with orange-glowing windows in them. Among these buildings are also Seattle's famous Space Needle.

    The racetrack itself is a four-lane asphalt road with yellow lane markings on its edges and in the middle and a pair of broken white lines on it, dividing the lanes further. Sometimes though, the racetracks transitions into pale red pedestrian streets.

    Next to the racing track are various cars, such as taxis, police cars with flashing sirens, passenger cars and trucks, potted plants, dumpsters, bus stops, city trees with green crowns, streetlamps, traffic lights with flashing lights, simple street signs, benches, and traffic redirecting equipment, such as traffic cones and barriers. Looming over the racetrack on the sides are also apartment buildings, shops with overhangs, and towers in various dull colors and with orange light shining out of their windows. Along the racetrack, one can also spot sideroads, which are closed off from the racetrack, that are cloaked in fog. Hanging over the racetracks are also lampposts on strings. When moving along the pedestrian streets, the player may pass through a market place marked with a large red neon sign saying "EMERALD MARKET CENTER". These kind of areas in particular are open spaces with pale red sett paving and feature outdoor furniture, like chairs, tables and parasols, food trucks, more city trees, and handlebars.

    Keys: Location, Floral Forest Village.

    Floral Forest Village,[3] or just Floral Forest,[1] is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a remote coastal village and the hometown of Cream the Rabbit and her family.

    Description Floral Forest Village is a quaint little village. It has been noted to be rather remote and has a low population density. Small single-family houses dominate this settlement. The village is also surrounded by a dense forest, and there is a glade to the north of the village.[3]

    History Floral Forest Village was eventually attacked by Dr. Eggman, who used his Faceship to spill the Metal Virus all over it, turning many of the inhabitants into Zombots. Around the same time, Sonic came to the village to save the rest of the inhabitants, Cream in particular. Back at Cream's house, Vanilla and Chocola were barricading their house. Cream wanted to help her neighbors, but her mother forbade her from leave the house. Not the one to oppose her mother, Cream sent Gemerl to help the inhabitants. While Sonic ran through the village, it was devastated by Zombots. Along the way, he saved a group of residents from the Zombots and showed them the way to a Rescue Shuttle that was supposed to take them away. However, Gemerl then arrived and attacked Sonic, considering him a threat to Cream, as Sonic was already partially infected with the Metal Virus. Eventually, Sonic had to run away to reverse his infection's progress. Gemerl, meanwhile, continued to fight the Zombots, but was interrupted by Cream, who convinced him to use non-lethal means against them. Though Gemerl fought the Zombots more gently, he was eventually surrounded by them. Cream could not help however, as she needed someone to save Vanilla, Cheese and Chocola from the Zombots that had invaded their home. Meanwhile, Sonic was busy putting out a forest fire that two residents wanted to start to stop the spread of the Metal Virus. When Sonic returned to the village, he paved the way for Cream and Vanilla to escape their house, but Cheese and Chocola had already become Zombots while trying to defend their family from other Zombots. After Cream and Vanilla flew towards the spot where the Rescue Shuttle would, Gemerl saved Sonic from the Zombots before going after his family. After Sonic received information from Rouge that Eggman was heading for Sunset City, he left the village. Before that however, he trapped Zombot Cheese and Chocola in glass jars, which they eventually began to break out of.[3]

    Big's Big Adventure In an effort to check if Froggy had gone to play with Cream, Big went to her home in Floral Forest Village but found no one there.[4]

    Chao Races and Badnik Bases Following the end of the Zombot apocalypse, Cream and her family returned to Floral Forest Village. Soon after though, Vanilla received a call from Amy, who needed Cream and Cheese on a mission to White Park Zone that would help them rebuild Omega. At first, Vanilla was hesitant to let Cream go. However, she finally relented when it was agreed that Cream and Cheese would be protected by Amy and Gemerl.[1]

    Guardians Vanilla welcomed Sonic and Amy for a tea party at her house with Cream. Blaze arrived later to start her vacation.[5]

13. #13Bunnie D'Cooletteconstantselective

    Keys: Harem member, Bunnie D'Coolette. · Secondary: Ex-wife of Antoine D'Coolette.

    Bunnie D'Coolette, birth name Bunnie Rabbot (pronounced rah-bow),[3][4] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian rabbit (though partially robotic), the wife of Antoine D'Coolette and a member of the Freedom Fighters. Originally, she was a regular person, but when Dr. Eggman made his first attack on Mobotropolis, Bunnie suffered severe injuries and the only way to save her life was by having parts of her body replaced with cybernetics by Charles the Hedgehog. Since then, she has used her cybernetics to better serve the Freedom Fighters, and together with her friends, she has been fighting the evil forces of the Eggman Empire.

    Appearance Bunnie is a mobian rabbit with golden fur (though it is sometimes colored light orange-blonde), a white muzzle with a small pink nose, and vibrant emerald-green eyes. Her eyelids (as well as around the eyes themselves) are generally violet and her right ear is often flopped, though this is not a constant feature. Her hair, starting off as a tuft of bangs on the back of her neck and forehead, grew from childhood into shoulder-length, and then down to her waist which she began tying back in a single ponytail by a pink hair tie. She also has pink-colored canals, two medium-length eyelashes on each side of her eyes, and a short, fluffy white tail.

    Bunnie's most pronounced feature are her cyborg limbs as a result of her roboticization, with her left arm and lower torso from the waist being cybernetic. Originally being more clunky and heavy in appearance, her robotic parts were replaced with sleeker, more modern versions with a pink stripe on each of her feet's toes. For attire, she wears a pink leotard, a white right glove with a pink cuff, and a gold wedding ring.

    As a child, Bunnie wore purple overalls with gold buttons, a white shirt and gloves, and pink bows at the tip of her long ears. After her roboticization, Bunnie began wearing a pink singlet instead and eventually discarded her bows after becoming older. She originally had jet-black eyes with one eyelash on each eye.

    History Past SCO Bunnie P2 Bunnie thinking about her past, from Sonic Super Digest #9.

    Much of Bunnie's early life is unknown. As a child, she was found in the Royal Hills Zone by Rosie Woodchuck and Uncle Chuck, with no indication of where the young rabbit had come from.[3] She was taken to the city of Mobotropolis where she was raised under Rosie's care,[3][5] until the city was taken over by Dr. Eggman. It was during this attack that Bunnie sustained some severe injuries. She was taken to Knothole Village and in order to save her life from these injuries, she was forced to have half of her body replaced with cybernetic limbs by Chuck.[5]

    Learning how to walk with her new robotic limbs was not only painful, but embarrassing (becoming more clumsy as a result),[5] which would lead to her and being picked on by other children, who purposely pronounced her last name as "Rab-BOT".[3] Her spirits were lifted when Miles "Tails" Prower, another child under Rosie's care, reassured her that he did not care that she has robotic parts, and that he saw her as a big sister.[3] Some of her fellow refugees expressed similar feelings, and treated her as no different, inspiring Bunnie to make the most of this, striving to live her life to the fullest. Under Rosie's supervision, Bunnie tried with all her might to function properly with her cybernetics. Her bravery inspired Antoine D'Coolette to become braver, though Bunnie reassured him that it was not him "being brave" that made him brave, but him overcoming his fears were the reason he was brave.[5][6]

    A hedgehog by the name of Sonic came by the village, promising to defeat Dr. Eggman and save King Nigel Acorn. Though Bunnie and the others had their doubts, Sonic managed to pull through on South Island. This inspired her to join Sally Acorn, Tails, Rotor the Walrus and Antoine in forming the Freedom Fighters, fully abandoning her wheelchair.[7] As time passed, it became apparent that Bunnie's limbs needed an upgrade. She accepted, even though it would greatly decrease the chances of her ever getting her old limbs back. But Antoine reassured her that it wouldn't affect her courageous heart and beautiful spirit. The two had become close before Antoine asked for her hand in marriage, which she happily accepted.[5]

    Countdown to Chaos Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where Bunnie's original timeline ended. New Bunnie Bunnie reveals herself to Sonic and Tails, from Sonic the Hedgehog #255.

    Operating as a Freedom Fighter, Bunnie was sent on an undercover mission to the Metropolis Zone in order to obtain a Shield Generator, while under the guise of an Egg Army underling named Scarlett.[1][8][9] During the mission, Sonic and Tails, both of whom had received memories from a different timeline due to the effects of the Super Genesis Wave,[10] arrived at the base. Knocking out the the foreman, she revealed herself to her friends, who were stunned to see her cybernetic parts. The trio-along with Nicole-then worked together in order to secure the generator and escape the city, though they had to deal with an unexpected earthquake.[1]

    Bunnie remember Bunnie getting the memories of her previous life, from Sonic the Hedgehog #255.

    Upon returning to the Sky Patrol, the Freedom Fighters' new base, Bunnie was reunited with her husband Antoine. Her memories of the previous timeline were then restored. She was happy to see her husband was out of the coma, but also sad that she had her robotic parts again, this time permanently. Overcome, she was left to deal with the revelations, comforted by a sympathetic Antoine.[1]

    Bunnie would later find herself in the position of providing comfort to a friend shaken by their restored memories, warning Sally Acorn beforehand and then taking charge of her as she attempted to get a handle on the revelations. Unfortunately, the friends had little time to recover, as the planet then broke apart beneath them.[11]

    Shattered World Crisis Act One Determined to help, the Freedom Fighters traveled to Station Square and were split into Team Freedom and Team Fighters to help contain the crisis and provide aid to victims of the Shattered World Crisis. During the adventure, Bunnie and Antoine both struggled with conflicting memories, as they remembered visiting a flooded Station Square before-but also NOT doing so. Their efforts helped to prepare the way for the arrival of G.U.N. relief forces, but the Freedom Fighters were soon called away for a new assignment: rescuing the kidnapped Professor Charles the Hedgehog and his colleague Professor Dillon Pickle from an Bullet Train.[12] Once again split into teams, the heroes searched the train for the professors; a frustrated Bunnie was about to start smashing her way into cars when Amy warned her of the volatile nature of some of their contents. Continuing their search together, the pair were alerted that the train was picking up speed at a dangerous rate. Bunnie soon became occupied dealing with Badnik forces aboard the train, but was later instructed to break off when the professors were rescued. The Freedom Fighters were then given a new task: restoring their planet's wholeness by finding the legendary Gaia Temples and collecting the seven Chaos Emeralds.[13][14]

    The Freedom Fighters soon learned that the planet's fragmented state was causing other problems, such as the nightly appearance of strange creatures that threatened all who they came across.[15] Determined to complete their mission before things became worse, the Freedom Fighters were split into teams, with Bunnie remaining aboard the Sky Patrol with Big the Cat and Cream the Rabbit while their friends left on other missions.[16] She would later greet Antoine upon his return with a Chaos Emerald, and jokingly questioned whether he was planning on upgrading her wedding ring with the jewel.[17] The pair would later go on a relief mission to Harbor Heights, where they saved a pair of newlyweds and others from tragedy. Seeing Antoine in danger-from which he admittedly emerged unscathed-prompted Bunnie to approach her husband with her fears about losing him. However, as always, he comforted her and assured her that they would always be together.[18] Along with their teammates they were later treated to a tour of the Sky Patrol, which was briefly interrupted by the attacking War Walrus.[19] They also took part in a training simulation orchestrated by Nicole, which prompted Bunnie to think back on her life.[5]

    While Sonic was on leave from the team to deal with his Werehog transformation, the Freedom Fighters set out to recover another Chaos Emerald. Bunnie thus joined Sally and Antoine on Team Freedom, only for them to be ambushed by the E-100 Series robots E-108 Iota, E-109 Kappa, and E-110 Lambda.[20] Outgunned and outmatched, the trio lost the Emerald and were in danger of being taken out when Team Fighters-Rotor, Tails, and Amy-came to their aid. Unfortunately, such a rescue had been anticipated, and a trap was sprung that ensnared both groups. Luckily, a small and unexpected reserve team led by Cream came to their aid, rescuing both groups and helping them back to the Sky Patrol. Battered and demoralized, they were bolstered by the return of Sonic, and soon faced their next objective: the Chaos Emerald Championship.[21] Sonic shared what he knew of organizer Breezie the Hedgehog, one of a handful of unpleasant accounts of earlier adventures that he mocked; Antoine mused that he thought he would enjoy learning about more of them, prompting Bunnie to gently reprimand him despite her own amusement. Sally was forced to inform the others that only Sonic, Tails, and Amy had been accepted into the tournament despite her efforts to get them all on the roster.[22] Undeterred, Bunnie joined her teammates in watching the competition, keeping an eye on the concerned Cream and garnering obvious amusement when the younger Rabbit expressed outrage at Honey the Cat's tactics during her bout with Tails.[23]

    Worlds Unite Bunnie, alongside the other Freedom Fighters, attempted to fight off M'egga Man when he invaded Mobotropolis, although it was a losing battle.[24] After Sonic's World and Earth in the year 20XX merged into a Unified World, Bunnie, finding the Robot Masters Snake Man and Spark Man nearby, asked for orders to the Freedom Fighter leader Sally Acorn as to whether to engage them or fall back, only to learn that Sally was not sure what to do because the robots were also fighting against Sonic Man. Eventually, she, alongside fellow Freedom Fighter member Gemerl, were ordered to save the civilians of 200X when they were falling off a building due to damage it sustained from the worlds being merged. Having worked together, the Robot Masters and Freedom Fighters joined forces, their numbers bolstered as Mega Man and Sonic were returned to normal and the Maverick Hunters and Team Sticks arrived to join them. Together, the expanded group boarded the Sky Patrol in search of the villainous Sigma.[25]

    Sigma was eventually learned to be based on the Lost Hex, and the heroes proceeded there only to run into an army of Mechaniloids led by the Deadly Six.[26] Bunnie and her friends fought bravely, but were then forced to contend with the villains' ability to take control of technology.[27] Bunnie was barely able to keep herself from attacking her own friends due to their power over her robotic limbs, and Big the Cat had to restrain her to keep her from causing any harm. She was soon freed by the effects of the Egg-Wily Uppity Robot Scrambler Cannon, only to be forced to join her weary friends in battle with the Maverick army Sigma had created.[28] She and Flash Man teamed up to save Bubble Man from Rainy Turtloid, but the overwhelming force proved too much for them to contain. Most of the Mavericks scattered to various worlds through the Genesis Portals, leaving a handful of their comrades behind to finish off Bunnie and her friends. Fortunately, help arrived in the form of Chun-Li and her fellow Street Fighters, who dispatched the Mavericks. The heroes then prepared to pursue their foes to the various worlds they had invaded.[29]

    Pairing up with Zero, Bunnie followed some Mavericks to the world of Ghosts 'n Goblins. There, she then explained to the irate and confused archdemon Astaroth the Mavericks' plot, resulting in the Mavericks being incinerated by the demon, and forcing the dark lord to call a true with the knight Sir Arthur (whom he had entered a duel with earlier) to deal with Sigma while sending Firebrand to aid him.[30] She then returned to the unified world with the others and reunited with everyone to proceed to fight with Sigma and his Mavericks.[31]

    Act Two Bunnie and her friends' search for the Gaia Keys led them to Northamer's Thunder Plains Zone, where they met Lupe the Wolf, an old friend and current leader of the Wolf Pack. After doing away with E-118 Tau and the area's Badnik Horde, the heroes chose to split up, with Bunnie, Sally, and Nicole heading to a nearby Gaia Temple to retrieve the final Chaos Emerald.[32] Arriving in Stone Stormlands Zone, Bunnie and Sally decided to split up again to comb the temple grounds to avoid alerting the Northamer Egg Army. Bunnie came across an alter in hopes of finding the Emerald there, only to run afoul of Cassia the Pronghorn, the region's co-Egg Boss. The two raced one another for possession of the Emerald and ended up in a fight over who would claim the gem.[33]

    BunnievsCassia Bunnie engaging Cassia for the Chaos Emerald, from Sonic the Hedgehog #277.

    Their battle did not last long, however, as the weakened altar floor ended up crumbling beneath both combatants and causing them to fall through. The two landed in a cave, illuminated by the Chaos Emerald. Cassia was enraged at having been injured again, knowing how her sister would react, and placed the blame on Bunnie. However, Cassia was eventually convinced to cooperate with Bunnie when reminded of her sister. En route to an exit that would lead to the temple grounds, Cassia learned about Bunnie's first experiences as a cyborg, and how she had her friends to help her through her struggles. Once arriving in a bunker, Bunnie prepared to leave on her own with the Emerald, only for Egg Soldiers to arrive, taking Bunnie by surprise long enough for Cassia to seize the Emerald for herself and rejoin her troops.[34]

    Bunnie was led back onto the temple grounds, where Cassia ultimately chose to let her go without the Emerald. This decision did not last long, as Bunnie would suddenly rush the Egg Soldiers, grab the Emerald and flee. Bunnie found Sally elsewhere on the grounds and began to depart alongside her. Bunnie inferred from the experience that not everyone affiliated with the Eggman Empire shared the exact same characteristics as Dr. Eggman himself. With the mission a success, and all seven Emeralds in their possession, Bunnie, Sally, and Nicole, returned to the Sky Patrol, where they were met by Antoine, Cream, and Cheese.[35]

    With all the Emeralds secured, Bunnie traveled with Tails to Adabat to retrieve a Gaia Key from its guardian Teanchi. However, they found him distraught over the loss off his ancestral home, which led him to behave stubbornly. After gathering his family, Bunnie told Teanchi about how she felt when losing everything after gaining her robotic limbs, as well as never truly knowing her place of origin. Her main point was that she was able to move on with her life and overcome her struggles because she had friends to support her, like how Teanchi has his family. Teanchi, now seeing things in an entirely new light, realized Bunnie was right and tearfully embraced his children before giving both Freedom Fighters the Gaia Key as his thanks.[3]

    With all the keys obtained, Bunnie was aboard the Sky Patrol sneaking food off the group's celebratory feast for when they would restore the planet. However, their early celebration was cut short when the Battle Bird Armada ambushed them via the Battle Fortress. Bunnie was sent by Sally alongside Antoine and Sonic to fend off the attackers while the rest of the group got the situation below under control. Despite a close call involving a Mole Mech, the trio were able to hold their own until the armada triggered some explosives that had been planted on the Sky Patrol's engines, causing the vessel to plummet from the skies.[36] As the Battle Bird Armada departed with Chip in their clutches, Bunnie attempted to rescue Sonic and her husband from the fall, but found it difficult to maintain flight. Fortunately, Nicole managed to get the Sky Partrol's thrusters working in time to save the three from perishing. Bunnie and the others regrouped with the rest of their team. Later, after helping Rotor and Sonic with the engines, Bunnie and the others carried out a three-way counter-offensive, where she was joined by Tails, Sally, and Antoine in breaking Eggman's control of the Dark Gaia Energy at Eggman Land. The four were met by resistance in the form of multiple E-100 units,[37] though they and all the other Badniks in the area were rendered defunct when Dark Gaia started drawing in all its energy from across the globe.[38] Bunnie and the others were led a safe distance away from the ruined refinery while Super Sonic and Chip fought Dark Gaia in its complete form. Despite being no match for the godlike abilities of Dark Gaia, they still could lend moral support to Sonic and Chip, and did as such until the monstrous deity was sealed away in the core, and the planet restored. However, this came at the price of Chip's presence, too, meaning he would have to remain asleep with his dark counterpart. Though saddened by this at first, Bunnie and her friends were glad for the crisis to finally be over, and collectively witnessed the sunrise.[39]

    Personality Bunnie has always been kind and friendly, and grew up with the expectation that she would marry a gentleman and settle down to a calm life as a hair stylist. That all changed during Dr. Eggman's takeover, when grievous injuries to Bunnie's body forced Uncle Chuck to partially roboticize her. This change proved quite the struggle in Bunnie's life, but her fellow Freedom Fighters helped her to find a sense of normalcy by embracing her regardless of her cyborg nature. Bunnie thus developed into a fiery but good-natured individual with a firm desire to help save her world from evil and prevent the suffering of others. She is incredibly courageous and self-sacrificing, but not to the point of recklessness; her greatest fear is that something might befall her husband or their friends.

    Powers and abilities Though she initially struggled with her cyborg nature, Bunnie eventually embraced her new form and its abilities, which-among various upgrades-included the powers of flight and conversion of her left forearm into a laser weapon. She also gained a built-in computer in her arm that could form a wireless connection with Nicole. Bunnie also gained the ability to fire lasers directly from the palm of her hand, or can transform her arm into a cannon. However, the power of her arm-laser seems to be limited to an extent, as seen by how she could create only a small hole in one of the Egg Train's roof hatches, instead of outright destroying it. Her mechanical limbs also grant her strength beyond that of a normal person.

    Relationships Antoine D'Coolette Antoine and Bunnie-0 Bunnie being proposed by Antoine, from Sonic Super Digest #9.

    Sugar-'twan...don't you see? It's not that you were "too scared." It's that you kept on fightin' despite it. Bein' brave ain't about not bein' scared. It's about doing what you need to do even when you are scared. To be so far from home, to stay so true to yer friends... It was your bravery that inspired me to make it so far. — Bunnie, Sonic Super Digest #8 Bunnie was first noticed by Antoine D'Coolette in Knothole where he watched her ongoing struggles to function, which inspired him to do more. In his own words, Bunnie gave Antoine the answer to what would make him brave. The two joined the Freedom Fighters together and over the years of fighting as teammates, they became very close. Years later, Bunnie revealed to Antoine that he had inspired her with his own courage, and the comradery between the two blossomed into romance, and the two were eventually married. Upon having his memories of the original timeline restored, Antoine's first thought was of his wife, and he went to great lengths to be with her at the time of her own memory restoration, knowing that she would need support.

    Sonic the Hedgehog RCO005 1462726662 Bunnie and Sonic racing, from Sonic Super Digest #9.

    Sonic the Hedgehog is one of Bunnie's friends. When Bunnie was depressed when she became a cyborg for the first time, Sonic and her fellow Freedom Fighters helped her in those moments and also showed that she was still herself, which provoked and inspired her to fight along with the rest of her friends and use her cybernetics to her advantage.

    Miles "Tails" Prower Tails hugging Bunnie Tails hugging Bunnie, from Sonic the Hedgehog #281.

    Miles "Tails" Prower is Bunnie's close friend and her foster brother. When Bunnie was roboticized and being taken by Rosie, Tails said that he viewed Bunnie as his big sister, and he didn't care if she was half robot, this melted Bunnie's heart. Tails and Rotor then built her new cybernetic limbs for her.

    Sally Acorn Bunnie warning Sally Bunnie trying to warn Sally about the other reality, from Sonic the Hedgehog #256.

    Sally Acorn and Bunnie are very close friends, the two often come to each other for comfort and support. When Bunnie first got roboticized after Dr. Eggman took over Mobotropolis, Sally helped Bunnie feels like she's no different from them. After Sally got back her memories from their previous timeline, when she was breaking down in grief after discovering she was Eggman's roboticized slave, Bunnie hugged her and tried to calm her down.

    Cassia the Pronghorn While Cassia and Bunnie are enemies, they have several things in common, particularly regarding their personal experiences as cyborgs. Initially, Bunnie saw Cassia and her cheerful attitude towards her body modifications with disgust, thinking she had voluntarily replaced her perfectly normal body parts with cybernetics as an "upgrade" - upon finding out Cassia only did it because there were no other options to treat her illness, her anger softened. Cassia seems to not really care one way or another about Bunnie beyond considering fighting her a fun challenge. While she envies Bunnie's broad-built in arsenal, Cassia seems to have a degree of respect for her boldness.

    Keys: Hero character, Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Sonic the Hedgehog is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who possesses the power of super speed. He uses this ability to defend his world from the forces of evil, most notably against the tyranny of evil scientist and longtime nemesis, Dr. Eggman. He and the doctor have fought for some time, with Sonic always thwarting every world-conquering scheme the "omelet dictator" has put forward.

    History Past Sonic had been battling Dr. Eggman for some time. He previously faced the likes of Mecha Sonic, along with its transformed state, and the Hard Boiled Heavies. On another occasion, Sonic liberated Flicky Island from Dr. Eggman with the help of Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles.

    He was also familiar with Fang the Sniper, Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear.

    Seasons of Chaos Spring valley zone At some point he recently joined Miles "Tails" Prower and Amy Rose on the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds.

    The Sonic, Amy, and Tails of the Classic dimension visit this zone to search for the Chaos Emerald, destroying a ticktock badnik in the process. Sonic finds a chaos emerald easily in reach on a flower bed. However, before he picks up the emerald, it is snatched away by a blurry figure, which is then reveled to be Metal Sonic.

    Requesting a boost from Amy, Amy used her hammer tro boost Sonic (after Sonic corrected her of her misinterpretation as a verbal boost). High in the air, Sonic was just about the reach the robot, when the robot activated his jet, leaving Sonic to fall. Closing his eyes, he expects to be saved by his amazing buddy, only to discover that he was saved by Knuckles, to the hedgehog's surprised.

    When they are both on the ground, they reunite with Amy and Tails, where Knuckles began to explain why he was here. An animal found a chaos emerald only for it to be snatched by Metal Knuckles, the echidna attempted to chase it (after the robot had a head start by threatening the animals) and was able to trace it to the area, where he happened to have seen Sonic falling.

    Sonic Learns to Drive After learning that there is going to be a racing derby sponsored by Mr. Munch-ems, and therefore believing that the prize for said derby was some of their brand's Chili dogs. Sonic volunteered to do some driving lessons in order to enter the derby. He was greeted by Kip the Capybara.

    Dr Eggman's Birthday On Dr. Eggman’s birthday, the Hard boiled heavies attempted to lead the badniks on an all out attack on Sonic on their own volition without Eggman. When Eggman discovers them absent from the base, he hastily catches up with them before they battle Sonic. He then orders them sternly to stand down. When Eggman was about to depart, Sonic wished him a happy birthday, who had eavesdropping Eggman.

    Amy's New Hobby At some point previously, Sonic and Tails had an adventure together taking out one of Dr. Eggman’s bases.

    Sonic was one of the many people who were shown Amy's comics, and liked them.

    Going off the Rails Tails would pilot the Tornado to Flicky Island with Sonic, for the purpose of a vacation. Upon landing the plane on the island, they were puzzled by the desertedness. It was only when they found train tracks and large crystal that Tails realized the cause of these mysterious happenings. Tails explained to Sonic how these are the telltale signs that Witchcart and her goons were behind this. He further explained by telling Sonic about his own adventure on another island, where he faced the villain and defeated her.

    Pre-Eggman War Sonic vs Egg Viper Sonic defeats the Egg Viper.

    Sonic had been battling Dr. Eggman for some time. Their earliest known conflict included a battle between Sonic and Eggman who was in his Egg Viper mech, resulting in Sonic's victory.[8] (StH: #1)

    Another encounter involved the Space Colony ARK, in which Eggman used its Eclipse Cannon to blow up a part of the moon in order to show the world the power that he wielded. These events lead to Sonic teaming up with Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Rouge the Bat, Shadow the Hedgehog, and even Dr. Eggman himself to save the world.[9] (StH: #5, #6)

    Sonic beats Metal Sonic Sonic after defeating Metal Sonic.

    Later, another battle happened between Sonic and Neo Metal Sonic - the powered up form of Metal Sonic - who was impersonating Eggman. This time, the fake Eggman was piloting the Egg Emperor mech, but Sonic and his friends defeated the faker, causing him to revert back to normal.[10] (StH: #1, #7)

    When the Black Arms invaded, Sonic was part of the side fighting against the villainous extra terrestrials, who were eventually defeated.[11] (StH: #6)

    Egg Dragoon Sonic facing off against Eggman in the Egg Dragoon.

    Eggman would return to his evil ways once again. Sonic faced off against Eggman in his Egg Dragoon and defeated the villain.[12] (StH: #1, #5)

    Yacker and Sonic Yacker and Sonic.

    Later, Eggman built an interstellar amusement park that used the power of the Wisps. Sonic freed their world, Planet Wisp, from Eggman's control and saved the kind creatures, putting a stop to Eggman and destroying his park. During this adventure, Sonic befriended a White Wisp named Yacker.[13] (StH: #3)

    Following this, Eggman discovered the Time Eater and used its powers to mess with time, but Sonic winded up defeating them and saving the day.[14] (StH: #5)

    Sonic would later follow Eggman to the Lost Hex for another adventure in which he had to save the world.[15] (StH: #3)

    Death Egg Robot Forces Sonic facing off against Eggman in the Death Egg Robot.

    More recently, after getting ahold of a mysterious artifact known as the Phantom Ruby, Dr. Eggman defeated and captured Sonic and conquered the majority of the planet. Thanks to the help of the Resistance (formed by Sonic's friends and allies and comprised of many more soldiers), other allies, and a past version of himself from an alternate reality, Sonic was freed and helped to stop Dr. Eggman's conquest and save the world from his clutches. During this adventure, Sonic had to fight a Phantom of Metal Sonic instead of the real thing, as the real Metal Sonic was undergoing an upgrade into Neo Mtal Sonic.[16][17] This ended in a confrontation between Sonic and Eggman, the latter piloting his latest Death Egg Robot. (StH: #1)

    Fallout! Sonic and Tails fight Egg Hammers Sonic and Tails defeat an Egg Hammer.

    After Sonic managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained, and so Sonic traveled the world to help stop the robot uprisings. When Sonic appeared in a town to help fend off a Badnik attack, he came across civilians in need, one of which attempted to fend off the attacking Badniks to save a group of civilians, but was easily knocked down by an Egg Pawn despite wielding a Wispon. Sonic appeared just in time to save the brave young man and commenting that he knew someone who put a Wispon to good use, which was a nod to one of the Resistance members during Eggman's previous attack. Sonic then ran by the town's militia and told them of the man he just saved and that he needed their aid. Sonic then came across some civilians trying to escape from some Moto Bugs, and he defeated them with ease. Sonic then started to have a little bit of trouble against some Egg Hammers, but Tails appeared and saved him just in time. The two teamed up and took down all of the robots with a mix of attacks, which included the Spin Dash and Rolling Combo. After Sonic and Tails started overcoming the horde of robots, the robots attempted to escape the town, so while Sonic took care of the remaining Egg Hammer, Tails closed one of the town's gates just in time to prevent the robots from leaving, which caused them to crash into the gate and get destroyed. Afterwards, Tails noted that the attack seemed coordinated, which was unlike previous Badnik attacks from other areas. When Sonic suggested it might be Dr. Eggman, Tails did not believe so, as Eggman was known for making sure they knew he had returned before attacking. Sonic decided to continue doing what he had been doing, but Tails expressed his worry over the thought of Sonic losing again, to which the blue hedgehog promised to be more careful. He also suggested that Tails follow him just like old times. Initially, Tails wanted to, but then he decided it was more important to help the town that they had just saved rebuild and recover. Sonic commented on Tails' decision by calling him a class act and stating that they would bash robots again some other time, to which Tails agreed. Unbeknownst to the two of them, a Flapper watched Sonic travel away from the town, which had someone watching the visual feedback and planning their next moves. (StH: #1)

    Death Crab and Sonic Sonic and a Death Crab about to battle.

    At the neighboring town, Sonic brought down a Death Crab before it could cause any major damage. Amy Rose then arrived and helped finish the Death Crab off. She explained that she heard about Sonic and Tails' latest actions and came by to find Sonic to present him with a request: rejoin the Resistance. The Resistance had their hands full as there were many leftover Badniks from the last major battle against Eggman that were randomly attacking citizens. However, much to Amy's dismay, Sonic declined her offer as, since Tails had theorized that someone was controlling the Badniks due to their more recent organized attacks, he wanted to find out who was controlling the Badniks on his own. (StH: #2)

    Amy admires Sonic Sonic states his resolve to Amy.

    Sonic and Amy soon discovered that the Death Crab was just a decoy so that more Badniks could invade from the west. While Sonic thinned them out, Amy rallied Wispon-wielding villagers to help destroy the Badniks that reached the town square. Sonic and Amy then continued to destroy more Badniks and find their source, which consisted off Egg Pawns and Egg Walkers. During this time, Amy kept asking Sonic to join the Resistance. Soon, Sonic and Amy discovered a Blowfish Transporter unloading many more Badniks at the edge of the town. With their Croquette Bomber combination technique, the duo took out the Blowfish Transporter. Afterwards, Amy came to terms with Sonic's decision and let him be on his own. Regardless, she requested for him to check on Knuckles the Echidna in a nearby town as she had not heard from him since. Accepting the mission, Sonic set off to find Knuckles, not noticing the Flapper watching from a distance. (StH: #2)

    Sonic and Knuckles Defeat Rough and Tumble Sonic and Knuckles defeat Rough and Tumble.

    As Sonic arrived at the next town, which was a hub for Wispon distribution, he found that Knuckles the Echidna had already dealt with the Badniks that had been attacking the town. Knuckles explained that the town's Wispon shipments had dwindled, and he had come to find out why. The two entered the town and found its citizens in a panic. They were told that all the town's Wispons had been stolen by a duo of mercenaries that had, before the war ended, driven Eggman's forces away and saved the town, only to then conquer the town and keep its arsenal to themselves. With this in mind, Sonic and Knuckles continued to the town's supply depot-turned-fortress to defeat the mercenaries. There, they encountered a group of captive Wisps being hoarded. Soon, Sonic and Knuckles confronted the mercenaries, who introduced themselves as Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk. A battle ensued between the four, which seemed to be evenly matched until Sonic called upon the help of the Wisps that were trapped within the Wispons that Rough and Tumble had stolen. They broke out of the Wispons and allowed Sonic and Knuckles to easily defeat Rough and Tumble, who were promptly arrested and hauled off to jail. With the town now free, Sonic and Knuckles began partying with the townspeople. (StH: #3)

    Inside Buzz Bomber Battleship Sonic boards the Buzz Bomber battleship.

    Continuing his journey, Sonic arrived at the next town where a Buzz Bomber battleship was deploying a stream of Badniks to attack the town. As he entered the town, he reconsidered Amy's invitation to rejoin the Resistance, but pushed that aside. He soon after noticed a ring-tailed lemur fighting the Badniks as well, who introduced herself to him as Tangle the Lemur. Together, they fought the Badniks until they got cornered by a large group of them. Fortunately, Blaze the Cat appeared, and helped them tear through the rest of the Badniks' ranks, including the giant Buzz Bomber. Once the attack had ended, Sonic introduced Blaze and Tangle to each other, and asked Blaze what brought her to his world. She explained she had come to prevent a "terrible event" on his world, as per the Sol Emeralds' directions. Sonic thought she referred to Eggman's global takeover until Tangle brought up the possibility that the organized Badniks could be a sign of something worse coming their way, which made Blaze stay until she understood why she was there. After bidding farewell to Blaze and Tangle, who went to calm the fires in town, Sonic continued his search for the Badniks' ringleader. (StH: #4)

    The Fate of Dr. Eggman Sonic Meets Mr Tinker Sonic meets "Mr. Tinker".

    Soon, Sonic was contacted by the Chaotix of the Chaotix Detective Agency, who needed his help. Espio the Chameleon escorted Sonic to a village, but not before being attacked by Anton and Hoverby badniks. After defeating the robots, Espio explained to Sonic that after receiving an anonymous tip, they had found Dr. Eggman in the town. Upon arriving, Sonic expected the town to be in danger, but to his surprise, Charmy Bee introduced him to Dr. Eggman, who was suffering from amnesia and living peacefully in the village as Mr. Tinker. Sonic didn't believe that the doctor was really suffering from amnesia. After questioning him and being told by Vector the Crocodile that they had been thoroughly interrogating him and observing him for a couple of days and that he remembered nothing. Sonic claimed that he was still dangerous, and Vector said that that was why they needed Sonic's help, since they did not know what to do with him. Sonic began talking with the Chaotix and the village head about what to do with Eggman since it did not seem right to penalize him now that he was a good man with no recollection of his evil deeds. Shortly after, a horde of badniks showed up, which consisted of more Antons and Hoverby. Suspecting Eggman to be behind them, Sonic confronted him while the Chaotix faced the Badniks, only to find a scared Eggman protecting the local children. Convinced now that Eggman was a new man, Sonic helped the Chaotix beat the Badniks. Telling the Chaotix about Eggman, the group decided to leave him to his new life. After properly greeting Eggman, Sonic prepared to leave, but then noticed Eggman mention Eggman Land. Immediately after, Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat showed up to destroy Eggman. (StH: #5)

    Sonic dodges Shadow Sonic and Shadow fighting.

    He tried to convince the duo that even if Eggman mentioned Eggman Land, he totally lost his memory and now was helping the residents but Shadow thought that having amnesia didn't make him less dangerous. Finally the two hedgehogs started battling themselves. During the fight, Sonic remembered to Shadow that Eggman helped them saving the world two times: first, stopping the Space Colony ARK from precipitate on the planet; second, he fought back the invasion of the Black Arms. After that, Shadow asked Sonic if he had forgot that the doctor made him suffer and tried to eliminate him plenty of times but Sonic eventually told him that if Eggman couldn't be forgiven, Shadow would have been the same, sice he tried to threat the whole world. Then the hedgehogs returned to the village and forced "Mr. Tinker" to show them Eggman Land, only to discover that is only an incomplete amusement park for the local kids. Mr. Tinker gets forgiven for the mistake and Sonic left the villlage. Meanwhile, the unknown villain prepares to join the Egg Fleet to move on to the next phase of his master plan. However, he is shown to be the possibly actual Dr. Eggman. (StH: #6)

    Neo introduction Sonic witnessing Neo Metal Sonic's reveal.

    In order to get some information, Sonic reunited with Tails and used the Tornado. While traveling, they spotted a battleship of the Egg Fleet. After grabbing the Miles Electric, Sonic enters the ship and finds Eggman, but as Sonic knows he had already met the real Dr. Eggman, asks this Eggman who he really is. The mysterious ringleader reveals he was actually Neo Metal Sonic disguised as Eggman. Neo was supposed to be the doctor's greatest weapon in the final battle, but he was completed too late. Since he gained his creator's genius, vision, and drive, Neo decided to take over the Eggman Empire and conquer the world for Eggman as him. Sonic realizes that this is the reason that he had to fight a Phantom of Metal Sonic during the War instead of the real thing. Sonic engages a duel with him and a group of Egg Pawns, some of them equipped with Egg Spears, but Neo is able to copy people's abilities and bio-data. After threatening Sonic, Neo continued traveling. Sonic told everything to Knuckles and Amy at the Resistance HQ, and they decided to search in Eggman's bases to discover and end what scheme Neo was plotting. (StH: #7)

    Picky Freed from Theta Sonic defeats E-107 Theta and frees a Picky from inside it.

    Sonic infiltrated one of Eggman's old bases and fought some Spinas. He met with Silver the Hedgehog, who saved him from a giant Spina variant. Silver had come back from his future to bring back normal life. Unknown to them, they were followed by a figure who was recognized as the "Guardian Angel"- a heroine who had saved Silver's life more than once and was sighted by multiple units of the Resistance but never joined the army. The two hedgehogs continued their research and finally met the Guardian Angel, who wielded a particular Wispon. She presented herself as Whisper the Wolf and helped them fight E-107 Theta. Silver used a computer, browsed the Eggnet, and found out that Neo Metal Sonic took over Angel Island and the Master Emerald. Sonic contacted the Resistance HQ and alerted them to call everyone. (StH: #8)

    Battle for Angel Island At Resistance HQ, Sonic and the Resistance's allies were informed of what he and Silver had discovered at the Eggman base that they had infiltrated. As Neo Metal Sonic had conquered Angel Island and turned it into a flying fortress as well as secured the Master Emerald for himself, Amy laid out a plan on how they could liberate the island. Blaze offered to confront Neo Metal Sonic as Burning Blaze, which Sonic was all for. However, Tails shot down that plan, deeming it too risky if Blaze had to face Neo Metal Sonic's powers. In the end, Sonic and Knuckles were chosen to confront Neo Metal Sonic instead and secure the Master Emerald while the others were to focus on breaking the Egg Fleet's control over the island. (StH: #9)

    Sonic and Knuckles encounter Neo Sonic and Knuckles encounter Neo Metal Sonic.

    On their way to Angel Island in one of the Resistance's battleships, Sonic thanked Whisper for joining them on this mission before paying Tails a visit in the captain's nest. As the two friends were having a moment, the Egg Fleet began bombarding the ship. Using their Extreme Gears, Blue Star and Red Rock, Sonic (using Blue Star) and Knuckles (using Red Rock) left the crashing ship and headed towards the Master Emerald's shrine, which had been turned into a fortification. Inside it, the two heroes encountered Neo Metal Sonic, who was sitting on a throne that was fashioned atop the Master Emerald. When they could successfully attack him, Neo Metal Sonic used the Master Emerald to transform into Super Neo Metal Sonic. While Sonic was undeterred, Super Neo Metal Sonic went on the offensive. Sonic tried to distract Super Neo Metal Sonic while Knuckles went for the Master Emerald, but both him and Knuckles were unable to do so and were defeated by the robot. Shadow then showed up and attacked Super Neo Metal Sonic with a Chaos Spear. This winded up forcing Super Neo Metal Sonic to revert back to his Neo Metal Sonic form. Sonic stopped Shadow as he was concerned that Neo Metal Sonic would copy Shadow's powers, but Neo Metal Sonic revealed that he had just finished copying Shadow's bio-data, which, combined with Sonic's bio-data and the Master Emerald's power, would let him assume his final form. While Knuckles and Shadow tried in vain to stop Neo Metal Sonic, Sonic convinced them to evacuate the stronghold once the structure started to fold into Neo Metal Sonic. The ground soon after began to rumble and Knuckles noted that the Master Emerald had been cut off from Angel Island, resulting in the floating island falling. Meanwhile, Neo Metal Sonic grew into a form more monstrous than the last called Master Overlord and demanded that Sonic bow to him. (StH: #9, #10)

    Getting attacked by Master Overlord, Sonic heard from Knuckles that Burning Blaze could not help them. He, Knuckles, and Shadow were then grabbed and flown away by Master Overlord, who wanted them to see him destroy their allies, who were onboard an Egg Fleet battleship. It was then that Sonic came up with a plan. If they could get Master Overlord closer to Angel Island and rip the Master Emerald out of him, they could deprive the robot of his power source and save the island. When the trio managed to escape Master Overlord's grasp, Sonic and Shadow focused on attacking Master Overlord's wings while Knuckles went for the Master Emerald. Sonic also distracted Master Overlord by taunting him long enough for Sonic's allies, whom Knuckles had relayed Sonic's plan to, to swarm Master Overlord and help drive him towards Angel Island. During the battle, Sonic got shaken off Master Overlord, but was rescued by Silver with his psychokinesis. Knuckles subsequently got the Master Emerald away from Master Overlord after Tails rammed the robot with his battleship. Knuckles brought it back to Angel Island, bringing the island back into the sky while Master Overlord powered down to his normal form as Metal Sonic. Down on Angel Island, Sonic looked for Tails, who was safe. With Angel Island now back to normal and Metal Sonic offline, Sonic and Tails celebrated their victory. (StH: #11)

    Sonic later had Tails partially repair Metal Sonic so he could talk with the robot. Upon waking up, Metal Sonic threw himself at Sonic, only to collapse in his arms, unable to fight. Sonic explained everything and proposed a truce and the chance for a new life since Eggman was out of the picture. Metal Sonic, however, rejected Sonic's offer and fled. Although disappointed, Sonic decided not to follow him out of respect for his choice. Later, Sonic made several rounds around Angel Island and informed Knuckles that the island seemed intact. He offered Knuckles to join the others on the trip back to Resistance HQ in the Egg Fleet battleship that Tails was repairing, but Knuckles refused, having decided to remain and guard the Master Emerald. When Sonic then asked him about the future of Resistance, Knuckles decided to dissolve the organization. Sonic then went to the battleship, where he met Amy. He informed her about the Resistance's disbandment and then ran to Tangle and Whisper when the Chaotix demanded payment. Tangle expressed her excitement about her new life to Sonic, but Whisper decided to remain silent. Sonic decided to give the latter some space. He then met Silver and Blaze, who were both holding off their trips home for the time being. This made Sonic note that this was a chance to have more adventures together. Sonic later met Rouge, whom he asked her next plans and asked to thank Shadow for him. Sonic then visited Tails on the captain's bridge and congratulated him on the fast repair of the ship and another successful adventure as the battleship took off. (StH: #12)

    Jet Set Tornado and Sonic Fan Club This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. Sonic would later pilot the Tornado for Tails to test the biplane's new engine. During the flight however, the heroes stumbled upon a Stealth Balkiry who had stolen supplies from a Resistance warehouse. Sonic and Tails subsequently chased the Badnik to a volcanic island. There, they directed the robot so that it was hit by lava fired from a geyser. As it then dropped the stolen supplies, Sonic destroyed it in midair, and was caught by Tails on the Tornado's wing. Sonic proceeded to thank his friend and let him take the helm, stating that landing the plane is too slow for him.

    Later, Sonic dropped by the Sonic Fan Club's first meeting and destroyed the Egg Pawn bothering them before taking off again.

    Infection Shortly after the recapture of Angel Island Sonic is taking a moment to reminisce over the past few days, this does not last long however, as Tails informs him of a letter that mysteriously appeared in his workshop that appears to have been written by Dr, Eggman. Sonic and Tails begin to worry about the fate of Mr. Tinker and head off towards Windmill Village. Upon arriving they find the town empty, save for Elder Scruffy who has been tied to a tree. Once freed Scruffy explains that Mr. Tinker was kidnapped a week ago by two mysterious individuals. These individuals are shortly revealed to be Rough and Tumble, now sporting Eggman's inventions. Following a discussion about Rough and Tumbles ability to rhyme a battle ensues and sonic questions them about where they're new tech came from and who broke them out of prison. The combined onslaught begins to overwhelm Sonic until Tails returns from securing the remaining villagers. Together they destroy Rough and Tumbles new weapons and easily defeat them afterwards. Before they could get the information they wanted however a portal opened and took Rough and Tumble. Sonic and Tails are confused and come to the conclusion that either Dr Eggman is back or Mr Tinker is being tricked into building weapons. Tails stays in Windmill village to clean up the damage from the battle and Sonic leaves to further investigate whoever is behind this. (StH: #13)

    Sonic and Silver travel to Frozen Peak after Silver was visited by a mysterious disappearing individual with information on an Eggman base. Seeing a similarly to the letter Tails received, Sonic deciding its a good enough lead and proceed to sneak up on the base. Upon further observation several badniks are seen carrying supplies through a portal. Deciding their hunch was correct they plan to attack quickly before they are knocked down by a now fully repaired Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic grabs Silver by the foot and tosses him away leaving Sonic and Metal Sonic to battle while Sonic questions how he got repaired. The brief fight is interrupted by Silver, who grabs the distracted robot with his psychokinesis. Metal Sonic is only held for a moment as a portal opens beneath him freeing him from Silvers grasp. Metal Sonic reemerges from a portal next to Dr. Starline, who Silver points out is the one who gave him the information. Sonic also remarks on the similarly between the portals and the one used to retrieve Rough and Tumble. When questioned by Sonic, Dr. Starline begins to monologue about Sonic being the only one capable of standing up to Dr. Eggman and this encounter was orchestrated to be a test of his own abilities. Sonic unimpressed, but relived to be getting straight answers asks Dr. Starline what happened to Mr. Tinker to which he is told that he no longer exists. Upon hearing this, Sonic charges towards Starline but can't get enough traction on the snow and is tackled into the trees by Metal Sonic before he can reach him. Sonic is then kicked into Silver while he attempts to grab the robot again. Deciding hes too fast to grab directly Silver creates a psychokinetic bubble around the robot and tosses him away. With Metal Sonic taken care of the two hedgehogs move directly towards an annoyed but undeterred Dr. Starline. Sonic and Silver attempt to attack him directly but keep being flung into his warp portals and Sonic is nearly sent down a cliff before Silver comes to his aid. They notice Starlines last portal has sent them to the other side of the mountain far from the Egg base. Silver suggests he fly them back but Sonic insists he simple hold onto him with his psychokinesis while he ran back. The two hedgehogs make it back just as Metal Sonic returns to Dr. Eggman through a portal. Sonic tackles Dr. Starline who is surprised Sonic caught up with him so quickly. Grabbing Starline by the collar Sonic demands details on Eggman to which Starline concedes telling them the code to a secured vault. Silver goes into the base alone while Sonic further questions Dr. Starline about what Eggman has planning. Dr. Starline then reveals that Dr. Eggman is elsewhere planning something "breathtaking". He also reveals that the code he gave Silver was the detonation code for a bomb inside the vault. Panicked, Sonic lets go of Starline and rushes inside the base to save Silver. Thankfully he arrives in time and Silver is able to put a shield up. Before collapsing Silver tells Sonic he know owes him two. Later on at restoration HQ Sonic is with Amy and a recovering Silver as they explain what happened with Dr. Starline. Sonic and Amy leave Silver to rest as they discuss what Eggman could be up to, Amy noting that the world had barely begun recovering from his last attack and they can't let something like it happen again. Sonic agrees but can't think of where to start looking for clues. Amy suggests hacking into the Eggnet using one of his old unguarded bases to which sonic agrees and insists taking Amy along. She initially protests citing how much work she has to do for the restoration but Sonic convinces her to think about it as a "working vacation". Sonic takes Amy into his arms and they speed off. (StH: #14)

    Sonic and Amy arrive at Echo Mine and begin to travel down a ruined elevator shaft. Sonic remarks on the level destruction, wondering if it was the location of a devastating fight. Amy confirms his suspicions and explains that this site was one of the resistances biggest counter-attacks before Sonic returned. She also solemnly notes how many good people they lost that day. Sonic reassures her that it was worth it and they'll save the world from whatever Eggman has planned next. The two soon find the computer room and thankfully discover the back up power still works. Amy logs into the Eggnet and finds the most recent files which contain schematics to a vessel resembling the Ark with information about payload distribution. Before they can find out more however the base begins to rumble and the computer is destroyed by a drilling machine piloted by Rough and Tumble. After Sonic heckles the two about their inability to rhyme which results in the skunk brothers arguing. Amy wonders allowed about how they took over a whole town before attempting to break the drill with her hammer. Amy's hammer has no effect and Sonic picks her up to beat a hasty retreat. The tunnels eventually leading them to a refuse pit where they trick the brothers into not being able to turn around. With Rough and Tumble panicking Sonic and Amy are able to destroy the drill and send it down the pit just as the skunks were able to bail. Without any options Rough and Tumble resort to using the backpacks Dr Eggman had gave them which dump metallic liquid all over them. Sonic and Amy look on confused as the skunk brothers scramble to get the stuff off them. Eventually Rough and Tumble succumb to the liquid becoming metallic and silent. Amy likens their appearance to robots while Sonic says they're "something worse". The fighting resumes with Sonic attempting his usual banter but getting no response from the transformed skunk brothers. After Amy likens their condition to being completely soulless Sonic decides to call them zombie robots, soon shortening it to "zombots". When Amy attempts to hit Rough her hammer produces a hole in his left side. Amy is momentarily apologetic until Roughs arm suddenly regenerates. Sonic then attempts to hit Tumble multiple times resulting in similar holes that are instantly regenerated. Unfortunately in the process Sonic got the metallic liquid on his hand and face. Sonic tells Amy not to let them touch her and wanting to wrap this up quickly and risk no one else's health pushes both brothers down the pit. Sonic admits it was slightly more brutal than he'd liked but the infection on him is spreading quickly. (StH: #15)

    Crisis City While Vector seemed to be in trouble, Sonic arrived as fast as he could. The crocodile asks him if he should cough on him with his infection but Sonic tells him that as long as he doesn't touch him he's fine. He only has to run to reduce the virus, but it does not disappear completely. The two fought alone. Sonic saves a few villagers and tells them to go down the stairs. He saw the rescue shuttle then rejoicing, but his pain returned when he saw the virus returning at a mad pace to his body, when he had to save people, he would just become a threat. So he started running faster and faster and wiped out most of the metal viruses. Back at the catering shuttle, Sonic finds Espio there who was holding Vector and the chameleon explains to him that Charmy had gone to the city, all alone and that he had to be found, but if he went there, Vector would also be infected. Sonic told them not to worry and ran to the Crisis City to find him, adding that he would do his best to find him. (#17)

    Zeti Hunt Some time after destroying Eggman's latest installation, Sonic clashed with the Doctor's new vehicle in Winterburg. After annoying Eggman with ice related quips, he revealed to Sonic that he was hunting down the all of the Zeti, which could potentially could become a potential threat against the Doctor.

    Misadventures CleanSweepsstakes Appearance Sonic Profile 2 Sonic the Hedgehog

    Sonic is a tall and thin hedgehog with blue fur and patches of peach-colored skin or fur on his face, arms, and belly. He has six long spines on the back of his head and two more on his back behind his shoulders. His eyes are green. His usual attire consists of white gloves, and his iconic pair of red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles and white straps across the top, the latter held down by a golden buckle on each foot.

    Personality Sonic playfully boasting Sonic playfully boasting after defeating some Badniks.

    Always prepared to put his life on the line to protect others, be they friends or civilians, Sonic is a carefree spirit and a daredevil at heart with a strong sense of justice, who, unlike most, finds fun in fighting and thwarting evil, primarily in the form of Dr. Eggman and his empire. Despite his usual egotistical and sometimes lazy demeanor, Sonic's defining traits have always been his pure heart of gold and his utter dauntlessness in the face of danger.

    Owning to his free-spirited way of life, Sonic values freedom above all else and strives to live his life according to his own rules rather than the standards of those around him or for the sake of heroism and duty. As such, despite his loyalty to his friends and allies, Sonic is typically unwilling to commit to anything that requires him to act primarily under the authority of others, including his friends, believing that he knows what is best for himself.

    Abilities Wall Climb Sonic's mastery over his speed allows him to even run up walls.

    Sonic's trademark ability is his super speed. He can travel up to speeds surpassing Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of about 768 mph, and he utilizes this in hand-to-hand combat, giving him quick reflexes. He is also very agile, being capable of performing extreme acrobatic feats. He also has incredible jumping skills: he can set off with enough power to bend thick metal armor and go hundreds of meters into the air with a single jump. While his top speed is unknown, glimpses of Sonic's prowess are shown in his tendency to routinely scale vertical walls, effortlessly knock down enemies in his path, run over water, and plow straight through foes. Sonic can also use the Boost to not only increase his speed but also barge through obstacles in his path.

    Top Kick Sonic incorporates kicks into his fighting style.

    Sonic has demonstrated complete mastery of his speed at any level. Not only can he run at a maximum tilt in straight lines, but also through sharp turns with full control over his momentum, and without recklessly crashing into unintended targets. As far as stamina goes, Sonic's is seemingly limitless as he is never winded from running.

    Sonic's core offensive maneuver is the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Sonic can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed, and perform moves like the Spin Dash, Homing Attack, and Rolling Combo, though the last one requires the aid of his friend Tails.

    Transformations Super Sonic Main article: Super Sonic Super Sonic Super Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #29.

    By absorbing the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic. While in this state, Sonic's natural talents are increased exponentially. He also gains the power of flight.

    Sonic the Werehog Main article: Werehog While he was stuck with an unspecified aliment, Sonic could transform into Sonic the Werehog. His powers and abilities in his form are unknown, however.

    Color powers By using the power of different variants of wisps, Sonic can trasnform into a certain form that contains an unique ability. Such powers utilized by Sonic included: Cyan Laser and Green Hover.

    Relationships Miles “Tails” Prower Tails carries Sonic Sonic and Tails

    Tails is Sonic’s oldest and closest friend, to the point that the two can be considered surrogate brothers. The pair have demonstrated near-perfect synchronization in battle whenever paired up, with Tails always being prepared to give Sonic a lift using his flight ability or both combining their Spin Attack to form a stronger Spin Dash. Also, whenever Tails worries for Sonic's well-being, Sonic is quick to give his buddy emotional support and assures him that he'll be fine, even offering Tails to join him "just like old times."

    Amy Rose Amy gets flustered Amy gets flustered over Sonic.

    Amy is another close friend of Sonic’s, and the only one who’s known to harbour deeper feelings toward him, feelings that she never tries to hide around him, which often makes him uneasy. Sonic cares very much for Amy, though it’s unclear whether he returns her romantic feelings. Nonetheless, he has a good relationship with her, and with most of his friends, she can be subject to his jokes and teasing.

    Blaze the Cat Sonic and Blaze Sonic and Blaze

    Sonic and Blaze have known each other for some time, as seen by Sonic's introduction of Blaze to Tangle. The two seem to get along well with Sonic claiming he could count on Blaze. In addition, they seem to coordinate with each other well in combat.

    Dr. Eggman Sonic and Dr. Eggman have spent years as archenemies, due to the latter's constant attempts at planetary domination, which Sonic always thwarts, causing him to become a thorn in Eggman's side. The two have battled for the fate of the world under various circumstances, from Eggman's imprisonment of various types of wildlife to the planet's surface being shattered by the Chaos Energy Cannon.

    Recently, in an unexpected turn of events, Eggman managed to catch Sonic off-guard and imprison him, allowing him to easily conquer most of the world, though his reign ended when the Resistance freed Sonic and helped him defeat Eggman six months later. When Sonic and Eggman next met, the latter had taken up residence in an idyllic village and was seemingly amnesiac, having no recollection of his past life. Initially, Sonic was left conflicted and doubtful about Eggman's amnesia being genuine, but later decided to restart his relationship with the doctor on friendlier terms after witnessing him in fear from an attack by his own Badniks, which Sonic and the Chaotix stopped.

    Knuckles the Echidna Sonic and Knuckles Mocking Rough and Tumble Sonic and Knuckles mock Rough and Tumble.

    Knuckles is both a close friend and rival to Sonic, with the two of them being no stranger to butting heads over a disagreement at worst, or partaking in banter with each other at best. Despite this, the two put a lot of trust in one another's abilities and work near perfectly to get the job done.

    Tangle the Lemur Sonic and Tangle Sonic and Tangle

    Sonic and Tangle have been described as kindred spirits due to having similar traits to each other[18], namely their skill and enjoyment in battling Badniks, as well as the confidence they share in doing so. Even after meeting for the first time, the two were able to synchronize with each other in their battle against multiple Badniks, including battling together with Blaze the Cat, who Tangle had also just met during said battle. Although their personalities seem to differ slightly, their enjoyment in fighting is something that they share together.

    Keys: Hero character, Tails.

    Miles Prower, more commonly known by his nickname, Tails, is an anthropomorphic two-tailed fox and best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog.

    History Past In the past, while Sonic was on an adventure on his own, Tails encountered and fought against the evil Witchcart and her minions. It would eventually lead to dueling the Witch in her Dark Castle. (Tails' 30th Anniversary Special)

    Dr Eggman's Birthday Tails was with Sonic when the hard boiled heavies were about to lead the badniks into an all out attack.

    Amy's New Hobby Some time after having an adventure with Sonic, Tails was invited over for some tea and biscuits. (FCBD 2021)

    Going Off the Rails Tails would pilot the Tornado to Flicky Island with Sonic, for the purpose of a vacation. Upon landing the plane on the island, they were puzzled by the desertedness. It was only when they found train tracks and large crystal that Tails realized the cause of these mysterious happenings. Tails explained to Sonic how these are the telltale signs that Witchcart and her goons were behind this. He further explained by telling Sonic about his own adventure on another island, where he faced the villain again and defeated her.

    Pre-Eggman War ARK Flashback Inside The incident aboard the Space Colony ARK.

    Tails was practically raised by Sonic, according to Amy Rose.[6] Tails had been fighting alongside Sonic and battling Dr. Eggman for some time. The earliest known encounter involved the Space Colony ARK, in which Eggman used its Eclipse Cannon to blow up a part of the moon in order to show the world the power that he wielded. These events lead to Tails teaming up with Sonic, Knuckles the Echidna, Rouge the Bat, Shadow the Hedgehog, and even Dr. Eggman himself to save the world.[7] (StH: #5, #6)

    At some point in the past, Tails reprogrammed Gemerl to become a guardian to Cream and her family.

    Eggman War More recently, after getting ahold of a mysterious artifact known as the Phantom Ruby, Dr. Eggman defeated and captured Sonic and conquered the majority of the planet. This caused trauma to the young fox, who had disappeared for a while. Eventually, Tails, alongside the Resistance (formed by Sonic's friends and allies and comprised of many more soldiers), other allies, and a past version of Sonic from an alternate reality, Sonic was freed and helped to stop Dr. Eggman's conquest and save the world from his clutches.[8][1] This ended in a confrontation between Sonic and Eggman, the latter piloting his latest Death Egg Robot. (StH: #1)

    Fallout Sonic and Tails fight Egg Hammers Tails and Sonic defeat an Egg Hammer.

    After Sonic managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained, and Tails tried to help stop the robot uprisings as well as rebuild where needed. When Sonic appeared in a town to help fend off a Badnik attack, Tails winded up saving Sonic from a group of Egg Hammers. The two teamed up and took down all of the robots with a mix of attacks, which included the Spin Dash and Rolling Combo. After Sonic and Tails started overcoming the horde of robots, the robots attempted to escape the town, so while Sonic took care of the remaining Egg Hammer, Tails closed one of the town's gates just in time to prevent the robots from leaving, which caused them to crash into the gate and get destroyed. Afterwards, Tails noted that the attack seemed coordinated, which was unlike previous Badnik attacks from other areas. When Sonic suggested it might be Dr. Eggman, Tails did not believe so, as Eggman was known for making sure they knew he had returned before attacking. Sonic decided to continue doing what he had been doing, but Tails expressed his worry over the thought of Sonic losing again, to which the blue hedgehog promised to be more careful. He also suggested that Tails follow him just like old times. Initially, Tails wanted to, but then he decided it was more important to help the town that they had just saved rebuild and recover. Sonic commented on Tails' decision by calling him a class act and stating that they would bash robots again some other time, to which Tails agreed. Unbeknownst to the two of them, a Flapper watched Sonic travel away from the town, which had someone watching the visual feedback and planning their next moves. (StH: #1)

    Sonic and Tails discover Egg Fleet Tails and Sonic discover an Egg Fleet battleship.

    Tails would later join up with Sonic in an attempt to raid Eggman's bases and discover who the ringleader was behind the recent Badnik attacks. While aboard the Tornado, the two came across a battleship from the Egg Fleet that was not coming up on their radar. Tails handed over his Miles Electric to Sonic to use so that he could download any information he could from the first computer he saw aboard the battleship. Shortly after, Tails saved Sonic when he jumped off the battleship to escape from Neo Metal Sonic and landed on the Tornado. They then traveled to Resistance HQ, where the two of them, along with Knuckles and Amy, learned form Sonic that Neo Metal Sonic was the one behind the Badnik attacks. Apparently, he had taken over the Eggman Empire in Eggman's absence in an attempt to continue Eggman's rule for him and give him back command after finding him. The group decided to search for any old plans that could tell them what Neo Metal Sonic was up to in order to thwart them. (StH: #7)

    The Battle for Angel Island This article is in need of a clean up to better fit set quality standards. Please help improve IDW Sonic Hub by updating it.

    Eventually, Tails was called to Resistance HQ. There, he and the Resistance's other allies were informed of what Sonic and Silver the Hedgehog had discovered in an Eggman base. As Neo Metal Sonic had conquered Angel Island and turned it into a flying fortress as well as secured the Master Emerald for himself, Amy laid out a plan on how they could liberate the island. Tails discouraged Blaze the Cat from going after Neo as Burning Blaze, as he believed that Neo could just copy Blaze's powers and become an even greater threat during their confrontation. Tails was then assigned to help two of the assembled group's factions with breaking the Egg Fleet's control over Angel Island while Sonic and Knuckles confronted Neo Metal Sonic. (StH: #9)

    Tails sets trajectory Tails sets the trajectory for the crashing battleship.

    While taking the group towards Angel Island in one of the Resistance's battleships, Tails got a visit from Sonic. As the two friends were having a moment however, the Egg Fleet began bombarding the ship. Fortunately, Tails managed to steer the falling ship towards Angel Island, and before it crashed on the island, Tails and the others managed to evacuate. Once on Angel Island, Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf were assigned to protect him while he did something smart according to Amy. Shortly after though, Tails began fighting the island's horde of Egg Pawns. While fighting by Amy's side, Tails noticed that they were not making much progress. Looking for a smarter approach, Tails got an idea. With Silver's aid, Tails managed to take control of an Egg Fleet battleship, which he used to destroy the last of the wing units attached to Angel Island's shoreline. Afterward, most of Tails' allies regrouped on the battleship. (StH: #9, #10)

    Neo Metal Sonic, who had transformed into Master Overlord, approached the battleship. Tails took the battleship straight towards the robot as he refused to leave Sonic, who was in the grasp of Master Overlord along with Knuckles and Shadow the Hedgehog, and Angel Island, which was currently falling from the sky without the Master Emerald that Master Overlord had taken. The crew was soon after instructed by Knuckles to force Master Overlord towards Angel Island while he focused on retrieving the Master Emerald from him. While the others attacked Master Overlord, Tails remained behind on the battleship. However, when his friends were about to get attacked by Master Overlord, Tails rammed the battleship into Master Overlord. This distracted the robot long enough for Knuckles to take the Master Emerald away from Master Overlord and bring it back to Angel Island. This returned the island to the sky while Master Overlord powered down to his normal form as Metal Sonic. Tails then reunited with Sonic on Angel Island. With Angel Island now back to normal and Metal Sonic offline, Tails and Sonic celebrated their victory. (StH: #11)

    Afterwards, Tails made a few repairs on Metal Sonic without bringing him back to full strength. Then, upon Sonic's request, Tails reactivated Metal Sonic, and Sonic offered the weakened robot to make a truce with them and start a new life. Metal Sonic refused, however, and ran off. Tails wondered if they should go after Metal Sonic, but Sonic noted that they should respect the robot's choice as Eggman could no longer repair or weaponize Metal Sonic. Tails then went to work on repairing the Egg Fleet battleship that they had used earlier so that they could get everyone on Angel Island back home. Although uncertain that he had repaired the notoriously weird Eggman tech onboard the battleship, Tails managed to get it flying by the time Sonic went to check on him. As they took off, Tails and Sonic congratulated each other on another successful adventure. (StH: #12)

    Jet Set Tornado Tails would install a newjet booster on the Tornado to order to increase the speed of the bi=-plane.

    Infection This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. Tails shortly became a member of the Restoration at some point.[14] While working in his workshop, Tails got a letter out of nowhere that foreshadowed Eggman's return to his evil ways in Windmill Village. Brining the letter to Sonic, the two decided to investigate the matter by heading to Windmill Village. There, they found no one, except for Elder Scruffy, who had been beaten up and hung up in a tree. While helping him, Elder Scruffy revealed that Eggman had been kidnapped a week ago by two thugs, who had since returned and locked up the villagers in the community center. Immediately after, the thugs appeared, who turned out to be Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk, now wielding weapons. While Sonic distracted them, Tails helped Elder Scruffy free the villagers. However, Tails had Elder Scruffy and the villagers stay hidden while he went to help Sonic. After the two heroes split Rough and Tumble up, Tails took on Rough, whom he defeated by using his Vapor Condenser against him. Destroying the Vapor Condenser afterward, Tails met up with Sonic after he beat Tumble, but before they could get Rough to tell them where Eggman was, the skunks vanished through a portal. Seeing that Rough and Tumble could not have acquired weapons like that on their own, Tails deduced that Eggman was back and helping the skunks, something which Sonic, who suspected that another one must have broken Rough and Tumble out of prison and told them where to find Eggman, hoped was not true. As Sonic prepared to set out to find clues, Tails opted to remain in Windmill Village and help clean up before joining up with Sonic.

    Tails later met up with Sonic, who needed his help dealing with an Eggman-created virus that was slowly turning him into a Zombot. While running some tests on Sonic in his workshop, Tails received a visit from Tangle. After discovering the extend of how contagious Sonic was, Tails concluded that Sonic had forced the virus into remission with his speed. Once Sonic had brought Tangle up to speed, Tails realized they had to start warning people about the Zombots. After then hearing about what Tangle had been up to, Tails said he was not sure of what they should do next. Since Amy had discovered plans for a battleship that Eggman was planning to spread his virus with, they should find it. After Sonic deliberately avoided a high-five with Tangle however, Tails saw that Sonic's infection had returned, which made him realize that Sonic's speed could only burn off the virus and keep it in check. Although Tails wanted to run some more tests on Sonic, Sonic took off to find Eggman's battleship. Tangle, however, assured Tails that he would find a cure for the virus.

    Tangle & Whisper Tangle later came by Tails' workshop with Whisper the Wolf and the captive Mimic; they wished for Tails to create a device that would act as a cell for him. Tails built the Test Chamber, a contraption could run models through all sorts of artificial climate and atmospheric conditions, rendering Mimic's escape impossible. Mimic still claimed that he would escape but Tangle and Whisper warned him against doing so. Tails promised the girls that he would have the cell transported to the nearest jail as soon as he could. Following this, Tails said his goodbyes to the girls as they left his workshop.[16]

    Crisis City This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. Soon after, Tails called Vector and informed him about recent events, including the return of Dr. Eggman, the Zombots, and Sonic's Metal Virus infection.[17] Despite his efforts, Tails was not able to find a cure for the Metal Virus from the data he got from Sonic due to it being too robust. At some point, after Cream, Vanilla and Gemerl arrived at Restoration HQ, Tails helped to repair the latter. Later, Tails was called to action after he had gotten word about the Zombot outbreak in Sunset City. He took the Tornado there and was accompanied by Silver following the latter's injuries. As soon as the duo arrived on the scene, Silver used his psychokinesis on the many Zombots who were surrounding Sonic and Omega. After clearing a path for Sonic to retreat, Silver allowed Tails to grab Omega's head from his damaged body and released the Zombots. As soon as this happened, Shadow, who had fully become a Zombot, lunged at Silver but the latter narrowly dodged his attack. He then retreated with Tails.

    Back at Restoration HQ, Tails asked to see Sonic. When the hedgehog came by, Tails explained that he will soon find a substitute body for Omega when he had the time. Tails then told the two that he created a device to read Sonic's biometrics as he ran to give more insight as to how his speed combated the Metal Virus. However, he also stated that the computers in the HQ would not be able to read that kind of data and planned to go to his lab in Cental City instead but was wary that he may get attacked by Zombots. Silver proposed to cover him, despite the risk that he may be called elsewhere.

    The Last Minute This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. Tails arrived to his lab in Central City along with Tangle and Whisper. He soon watched in shock as Dr. Eggman used the Faceship to dump a large batch of the Metal Virus into the city. Tails tried to change plans, but was told by Whisper and Tangle to stay at his lab. One hour later, Tails was researching for a cure while hiding from the Zombots outside his lab. He soon got a contact from Sonic, who told him he was at the outskirts of Barricade Town. After explaining how well he got the data from his bio-scanner and the situation at Central City, Tails suggested that Sonic kept running so he can find a cure for the virus. The fox cub called next Amy at Restoration HQ about his progress in his lab. He then told her that he will call for updates from Tangle and Whisper after she asked about sending Rescue Shuttles. Tails then contacted Tangle, who told him that she and Whisper managed to save a few civilians and guided them to the docks.

    Afterwards, the fox cub focused to research on the Metal Virus. After learning about the structure of the virus, he wondered how Sonic's speed could burn it down and how to apply this to others, not wanting to risk anything with the cure's possible ineffectiveness. Tails got the idea to go outside of his lab to retrieve a sample of the Metal Virus on the road and returned to his lab with glee. Soon after, Tails received a call from Tangle, who asked the fox cub about the cure. He confirmed to her that he had almost completed research on it and would begin helping the girls out soon. Tails then began to upload the data to Restoration HQ's server, only for his computer to suddenly shut down. Unbeknownst to him, a Zombot Cheese and Chocola were busy destroying the lab's main power supply outside. Tails tried not to panic and removed the server blades to use them at the HQ instead. The fox cub was interrupted by a Zombot who ripped into the entrance of the lab and knocked the server blades to the ground, destroying them. Tails was then forced to run to his garage with Zombots in pursuit. He used his Cyclone to emerge from the lab, ramming into several Zombots. Tails was then chased by Cheese and Chocola; he performed enough evasive maneuvers to dodge the Chao brothers and left them in the dust. Tails received a call for an update from Tangle. The fox cub cleared a path for the duo and told them to protect the survivors. At the dock, a Rescue Shuttle came to land. Tails continued to fend off Zombots until everyone was boarded and Tangle told him to come along. As his Cyclone was being ripped apart by Zombots, he abandoned his mech before it exploded and flew to the shuttle. Once he arrived, he received bad news from Amy that Restoration HQ had fallen. Tails panicked over this as he believed he would have been able to do something with the incomplete upload in his lab at the HQ. With this, Tails and Amy realized that their only hope now was Sonic.[3][19]

    After the Restoration had gotten word that Spiral Hill Village had been attacked with the Metal Virus, they flew there with the Rescue Shuttle to help begin evacuation. While Espio, Tangle and Whisper helped to distract the Zombots in town, Tails and Cream helped fly uninfected villagers to the Rescue Shuttle. Soon, the two of them did not manage to find any more refugees in town, prompting them to fly back to the shuttle to inform Amy of the news. When they arrived, Sonic was also present and prepared to help. The young fox cub asked if he still had the bio-scanner with him only for Sonic to reveal that he lost the device after a fight with Dr. Eggman. After Tails shed some tears, he told Amy that he and Cream could not find any more uninfected villagers; with this, Amy called for a retreat. While Sonic went to find Tangle, Tails flew off to find Espio and Whisper. He soon returned with both of them and were prepared to retreat. When Sonic came back to the ship, he told the team that Tangle had actually gotten infected and chose to stay behind to prevent Zombots from following the Restoration. Tails was quite upset to hear this news and witnessed a hysteric Whisper attempt to run back into the village to try and rescue Tangle. After Whisper was pulled back into the ship by her Wisps, Amy gave the order for the shuttle to take-off and leave the village.

    All or Nothing This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. The Rescue Shuttle arrived at Angel Island, a last resort for a safe haven. Tails and Amy went down to brief Knuckles on the current Metal Virus situation. After his run, Sonic returned to find Knuckles confirming that he was now fully up to speed on the situation and expressed annoyance over trouble being brought to his island again. Suddenly, a portal opened of which Eggman, Starline and Metal Sonic dropped out of. As Amy prepared to attack them for everything that they have done, Sonic prevented her act and questioned why Eggman appeared out of nowhere all of a sudden unarmed since he had the advantage. Eggman responded to this by saying Starline brought the Deadly Six onboard the Faceship, which they swiftly took control over. Espio then appeared to inform everyone that they had just gotten word from Rouge. On the shuttle, Rouge reported that Eggman had been powering the Faceship with the Chaos Emeralds, which Zavok had now distributed to the rest of his team and then sent them out into the world; she went on to say that she was coordinating with Orbot to spy on their deployments and coordinate their counterattack. An argument soon arose between Tails and Eggman about a cure for the Metal Virus, with the fox noting that he was close to making a cure before it was lost to Zombots. Eggman clarified that he did not need to have one as his research found that as the Metal Virus mutated, it became unsustainable. Tails helped Knuckles and the others understand that soon, every Zombot would disintegrate. Eggman theorized that this would occur approximately two hundred years into the future. An injured Silver came onboard and confirmed this claim as it described his current future well.[21]

    Later outside, Tails and the others tried to come up with ideas on how to counteract the virus. Starline suggested using the Master Emerald to neutralize the Deadly Six but Tails told him that they could not move it risking the whole island and luring the Zeti to them as it would be too much of a gamble; Knuckles also added that Starline would not be allowed to touch the Emerald. Eggman instead came up with the idea to use the Warp Topaz, as if they had Super Sonic charge it with his power, they would be able to warp the virus away with one swoop. Starline protested against it due to its instability and decided to leave and create a solution on his own; instead, Eggman, with Metal Sonic's help, removed Starline's glove that had the Warp Topaz attached to it, fired him and had him thrown out via a Warp Portal. When Tails asked Sonic if they were okay with this, the hedgehog recalled how Starline was the one to bring back Eggman and try to blow him and Silver up, so he was okay with it. Following this, Eggman surmised that Rouge would be able to steal the two Emeralds that were on the Faceship from Zavok; Espio noted that it left five Zeti left to deal with but Silver felt confident that they would be able to overwhelm them so long as they had each other. The group realized that they would have to split up and ambush the Deadly Six all at once since there was a risk that one could contact the others should they get a sense of their plan. While Eggman thought to work on a "Multi-Portal Generator" to help the others reach their destinations, Tails thought it would be better if each person had backup in case someone turned into a Zombot; this prompted Amy to call in the Babylon Rogues to increase their numbers. Sonic managed to convince Jet to help, even though the hawk wished to get a reward out of it.[21]

    EurekaIDW Tails and Eggman finish building the Multi-Portal Generator, from Sonic the Hedgehog #26.

    A while later, Tails and Eggman worked together to build the Multi-Portal Generator using the the Warp Topaz so that it would send everyone where they needed to go all at once. When Eggman stated that the machine was not up to his regular standards, Tails took a light jab at him saying that they should focus on building something that would not cause the island to implode. Sonic returned from his run and had come up with a plan for who should be assigned with who and what Zeti they should go after; Tails used his Miles Electric to showcase what the Deadly Six looked like. He explained to Tails and Amy that they were tasked with taking on Zomom as they would easily be able to outsmart him and get his Chaos Emerald. Shortly afterwards, Tails joined Eggman in building a treadmill for Sonic as his speed was no longer countering the Metal Virus as well as it used to. Once Eggman adjusted the Warp Portal apertures and Tails got the coordinates set in, the latter set off to Vista View with Amy. Upon arriving at a restaurant where Zomom was wolfing down all food in sight, Amy and Tails revealed themselves to him. Zomom recalled Tails being one of Sonic's friends, unnerving them both. Tails, along with Amy, tried tricking the obese Zeti into giving them the Emerald by claiming that Zavok needed it and that they were here to escort it to him; however, Zomom refused as he wanted the Zombots to keep bringing him food. Angry that the pair interrupted the one of his many meals, Zomom claimed he was going to have to squash them, forcing Tails and Amy into combat with him.[22]

    Zomom chased Tails and Amy while trying to attack them, though he was temporarily stopped after he was hit in the face by Amy's hammer; the Zeti was then trying to eat Amy's hammer. While the owner tried to pull it out of his mouth, Tails attacked him as well, forcing him to spit it out. Enraged, Zomom declared that "he was gonna chew them real hard now before swallowing", but when Tails mentioned something about dropping his lunch box while he was chasing them, the Zeti turned back to go find it. Tails and Amy then discussed what they were going to do as Zomom was a tough opponent to beat. After tearing through a couple of buildings, Zomom realized that he had been tricked and returned while now feeling "hangry". He raised his hands and commanded the Vista View Zombots to attack Tails and Amy, forcing them to escape to higher grounds. As the two continued to evade the Zombots from above, Zomom called them annoying. He then burrowed under the ground, causing a mini earthquake to collapse the building Tails and Amy were on. Zomom followed them while burrowing underground towards the town gate. Tails just managed to fly Amy up to the gate and soon developed a plan. Just as Zomom was underneath the gate, he popped out. This was revealed to be a trick; using the gate's cogs, Tails and Amy slammed the gate shut onto Zomom's stomach, trapping him. As the duo expressed their victory to him, they took his Chaos Emerald and left.[23]

    When Tails and Amy arrived back on Angel Island, along with most of the other survivors, they found that Zavok had found their location, drawing nearer to the island in the Faceship. He had led a large horde of Zombots to the location as well. However, thanks to the efforts of Rouge, the Faceship was brought down and fell into the ocean, crashing down onto the horde of Zombots. This did not stop Zavok as he simply emerged from the rubble and drastically increased to a giant size, boosted by his Chaos Emerald. As retaliation, he shot a fireball at the island with his mouth. He then grabbed a large handful of Zombots and threw them onto the surface to deal with the survivors, which included a number of familiar faces to Tails. While Sonic, Silver and Metal Sonic went off to retrieve the final Chaos Emerald from Zavok, Tails was forced to fly away from a Zombot Cheese and Chocola. The Chao managed to catch onto his tails, forcing the fox to back down as he could do nothing to fight the infection but plead for Sonic to help. Eventually, with the combined efforts of Super Sonic and Super Silver, they were able to warp the entirety of the Metal Virus away from the world and to the sun. This act turned Cheese and Chocola back to normal, prompting Tails to celebrate with them. A large explosion soon erupted between the Warp Topaz, Sonic and Silver, which threw the latter back on the island. Tails and Knuckles helped Silver up with Amy present; the hedgehog stated that the Metal Virus was destroyed but Starline was right about the Warp Topaz not being able to take so much power. Silver continued, saying that Sonic tried to ditch the Topaz in the Super Warp Portal but this only resulted in a green gate of energy appearing in the sky, with Sonic nowhere to be found.

    Cured This section of the article has been copied from a previous work such as the main Sonic Fandom site and needs to be re-written to make it different from the source. Knuckles believed that Sonic was simply being dramatic and would fly back down any minute now. Amy turned to Tails and asked if there was any way to search for him, only for Tails to imply that he would not know where to begin. A while after Zavok was restrained, Amy fell onto her knees in relief that the crisis was averted. However, Tails turned her attention to the fact that five Zeti were still on the loose in the world. The weary Amy realized that once she got back to Restoration HQ, she would have to worry about them as well. Tails suggested that Amy took a break and asked why she even took the job in the first place. She explained that she only did it because Knuckles disbanded the Resistance on whim. Knuckles argued that his place was on the island and the war was over anyway. Amy countered this by saying that the people down below still needed help. Knuckles disagreed with Amy's want to spread herself thin to help everyone everywhere and asked when the refugees would leaving. Tails said that this would be after he repaired the Rescue Shuttle but after looking around, he could not find it. Eggman was nowhere to be found either until Big pointed out that he was escaping via the final Rescue Shuttle, much to Tails' concern.

    Appearance Tails is a young, anthropomorphic fox cub with a unique mutation of two tails instead of one. He has mostly yellow-orange fur with white fur around his muzzle, front torso, and the tips of his tails. He also has blue eyes. Typically, his attire consists simply of white gloves and red shoes with white toes.

    His classic era design is mostly unchanged from the modern interpretation of Tails, with the exception of being shorter.

    Personality Tails is a young fox cub who has a pure and courageous heart. Loyal and trustworthy, he can be counted on to stand firmly by the side of his friends and help them out however he can. While still young, Tails has time and again proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with, especially with his high intellect.

    Abilities Gifted with a pair of twin tails, Tails can utilize these unique appendages to achieve flight by twirling them around like rotary blades, similar to a helicopter. He is very agile and can keep up with Sonic at quite high speeds. Tails also has a high intellect which has allowed him to construct many machines and devices to help him in his adventures.

    Tails spinattack Like Sonic, Tails can attack enemies by curling into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directing himself at his targets, allowing him to perform moves like the Spin Attack or the Rolling Combo.

    Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog Tails carries Sonic Tails and Sonic

    Sonic the Hedgehog is Tails' best friend and one who acts as an older brother figure to him. The two of them have been together for a long time, and, as such, have developed a close, brotherly bond. Though Tails tends to get annoyed by Sonic's recklessness and smugness, this does not truly hinder their bond. In fact, the very thought of losing Sonic is enough to greatly worry Tails, especially after he thought Sonic had been killed.

    Keys: Villain character, Doctor Eggman.

    Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known more commonly by his nicknames Dr. Eggman and more simply Eggman, is an evil scientist and dictator who seeks to rule over the entire world. He is ever persistent in his quest for world domination despite his constant losses at the hands of his most hated enemy Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies. After losing the war between his Eggman Empire and the Resistance, Eggman had lost his memory and taken up residence in Windmill Village under the alias of Mr. Tinker, but has since regained his memories and returned to his old ways.

    History Past This section is needed but has not been written yet. You can help IDW Sonic Hub by writing it.

    At some point in the past, Dr. Eggman encountered Sonic, with both fighting against each other ever since. One of those battles included when Eggman invaded and conquered Flicky Island, with Sonic and his friends attempted to repel Eggman. One of those instances was when Dr Eggman in his mech fought Sonic in the Green Grove area of the Island. (Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails' 30th Anniversary Special)

    Dr Eggman would also construct an airborne battle station, known as the Death Egg. One instance of the Death Egg crashed on an island and was left abanonded. (Scrapnik Island #1)

    During an incident with the Phantom Ruby, Sonic had to face the enhanced Hard Boiled Heavies, led by Heavy King, who attempted to overthrow their creator. Luckily Sonic destroyed all of the enhanced robots. (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special: Seasons of Chaos)

    For several years, Eggman's badniks went out of their way to celebrate their creator's birthday, despite his reluctance. (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special: Dr. Eggman's birthday)

    Heavy king reconstruction Previously, Dr Eggman repaired and restored Heavy King, intent on using him as a commander to effectively co-ordinate his badnik soldiers.

    Sonic Learns to Drive At some point in time, Dr. Eggman attacked a town with his badniks, cancelling the Mr Munch-um's racing event.

    Dr. Eggman's birthday After some time, Eggman slept in another Eggman base. upon waking up on his birthday, Eggman began to recall his badnik's attempts to celebrate his birthday despite Eggman's silent dismissal. After his morning preparations, Eggman found that all of his badniks, with the exception of a recovering Metal Sonic, had disaappeared. He went to the console, discovering that his Hard Boilled Heavies were leading his badniks on a reckless attack on Sonic. beleiving that his force would be recklessly decimated, the Doctor hurried to his Eggmobile and sped to his forces to call off the attack. Catching up to his generals, the Heavies, who were about to deliver thge order to attack, were threatened to withdraw on their creator's threat of their memories wiped. Back at the base, Eggman began admonishing his robotic forces about the recklessness of their actions. The Heavy Ninja replied that they were only doing it for his birthday to please him, which took Eggman aback. Touched by their dedication, Eggman begrudgingly accepted celebrating with his robots. He even blew off the candles of his birthday cake the robots made.

    Amy's New Hobby At some point after Dr. Eggman's birthday, both Sonic and Tails went to look for one of Eggman's newest bases. Tails would later tell Amy about it, only to grow suspicious when Amy was writing that story down for her comics.

    He was featured in one of the comics that Tails saw, where Dr. Eggman was lowering down Sonic and Tails into a pit of fire. Amy then appeared and saved the day.

    Pre-Eggman War Sonic vs Egg Viper Sonic defeats Eggman in his Egg Viper.

    Dr. Eggman had been battling Sonic for some time. Their earliest known conflict included a battle between the two where Eggman piloted his Egg Viper mech, but Sonic winded up defeating him.[5] (StH: #1)

    Another encounter involved the Space Colony ARK, in which Eggman used its Eclipse Cannon to blow up a part of the moon in order to show the world the power that he wielded. These events lead to Eggman teaming up with Sonic, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Rouge the Bat, and Shadow the Hedgehog to save the world.[6] (StH: #5, #6)

    Neo threatens Eggman Eggman is betrayed by Neo Metal Sonic.

    Later, Eggman was betrayed by Metal Sonic, who had somehow transformed into a new form known as Neo Metal Sonic. Neo Metal Sonic disguised himself as the doctor and tried to take over the Eggman Empire. Sonic and his friends did battle with the fake Eggman, who piloted the Egg Emperor, but the heroes prevailed and defeated the robotic menace, causing it to revert back into its normal form.[7] Eggman, would then repair Metal Sonic and remove its rebelliousness from its coding. (StH: #1, #7)

    When the Black Arms invaded, Eggman was on his own side fighting against the villainous extra terrestrials, who were eventually defeated.[8] (StH: #6)

    Egg Dragoon Sonic facing off against Eggman in the Egg Dragoon.

    Eggman would return to his evil ways once again. Sonic faced off against Eggman in his Egg Dragoon and defeated the villain.[9] (StH: #1, #5)

    Later, Eggman built an interstellar amusement park that used the power of the Wisps. Sonic freed their world, Planet Wisp, from Eggman's control and saved the kind creatures, putting a stop to Eggman and destroying his park.[10] (StH: #3)

    Following this, Eggman discovered the Time Eater and used its powers to mess with time, but Sonic winded up defeating them and saving the day.[11] (StH: #5)

    Sonic would later follow Eggman to the Lost Hex for another adventure in which Sonic had to save the world.[12] (StH: #3)

    Eggman War Death Egg Robot Forces Eggman piloting the Death Egg Robot and facing off against Sonic.

    More recently, after discovering a mysterious artifact known as the Phantom Ruby, Dr. Eggman used this gem's power to conjure up a limitless army of robots to wage war on the world. During this time, the doctor succeeded in defeating and capturing Sonic, keeping him imprisoned so that his nemesis could watch helplessly as the Eggman Empire expanded across the planet. Over a six-month period, Eggman conquered the majority of the planet, though a small number of territories were protected by the Resistance. (StH: #1, #7)

    During the war, many of Eggman's operations were disrupted by a group of mercenaries known as the Diamond Cutters. Eggman would make contact with one of its members - Mimic - offering him the chance of a good life in the Eggman Empire if he betrayed his comrades. Believing that the war was unwinnable, Mimic agreed and he and Eggman set a trap for the Diamond Cutters. In the end, Mimic succeeded in killing off most of his teammates, with Whisper the Wolf being the only survivor. (Tangle & Whisper #3)

    Six months into the war, Sonic was freed from captivity by the Resistance. With the world's greatest hero to rally behind, the Resistance soon managed to gain ground and strike back against Eggman's forces. This would culminate in a final battle at Eggman's fortress outside of Imperial City where Sonic fought against the doctor's Mega Death Egg Robot. The battle ended with the Phantom Ruby being destroyed and Eggman himself disappearing.

    Eggman and "Mr. Tinker" Scruffy and Tinker "Mr. Tinker" enjoying a meal with the villagers of Windmill Village.

    After his Phantom Ruby plan fell through, Eggman vanished without a trace, though his Badniks continued to operate on their own. In reality, an unconscious Eggman suddenly appeared in a village one day. The villagers locked him up immediately, only to return the next day to find that he’d broken out to fix up the door to his own cell. The doctor was put through numerous tests, where it was determined the dictator had no recollection of his old, villainous life. After nursing his wounds, the village took "Mr. Tinker" in as one of their own, who repaid their kindness by fixing anything they brought him, even going as far as to build them windmills. (StH: #1, #5)

    During his amnesia, he also used Badnik parts to create a wooden puppet-like robot named Belle. Whilst Eggman's former Badniks were minimalistic in design and made of metal, Mr. Tinker embraced a different style of design with the parts. He then introduced the robot to the villagers.

    Sonic Meets Mr Tinker "Mr. Tinker" meets Sonic.

    As Sonic and his friends worked to clean up the fallout of their recent war, the Chaotix Detective Agency launched their own investigation to find Eggman. After receiving a tipoff from an unknown source (later revealed to be Rouge the Bat), the Chaotix tracked down Eggman to the village where he was living a new life. The village head explained what had happened and why Eggman was there. Though considered a blessing by the townspeople, Sonic was not convinced, that is, until the hedgehog caught Tinker hiding in fear from a Badnik attack with fellow citizens.

    After helping the Chaotix to do away with the Badniks before they could reach the village, Sonic had accepted that Eggman really had changed. Sonic prepared to speed off to his next destination, only to become alarmed when Tinker expressed his hope that the hedgehog would come back to visit so that he could show him "Eggman Land" once it was completed. Sonic could barely begin to dwell upon what he’d just heard, when Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge showed up with the intention of destroying the doctor. Sonic fought Shadow to a standstill as the hero tried to convince his shady counterpart to spare the doctor's life due to his believed amnesia. After realising that Sonic had lured him away from the village, Shadow returned to the village to find Tinker in hiding, with Rouge watching over him. The hedgehog abrasively demanded that he show him "Eggman Land", to which Tinker complied: he took the heroes to a cabin that held a kids play area that he'd been constructing in secret. Tinker explained that name "Eggman Land" came to him while constructing it, and believed it to be a ridiculous-sounding name that the kids would find funny. The heroes were once again reassured of Tinker’s situation, though Sonic still worried that his recollection of "Eggman Land" was a sign that his memory could eventually return. (StH: #5, #6)

    Return to evil Whilst the Resistance were busy battling against Neo Metal Sonic and his forces, Mr. Tinker was singing and playing a banjo while the village children were playing in his Eggman Land fun park. He was then abducted by a liberated Rough and Tumble, who took him to his Final Egg base. There, he met the one who hired the kidnapping, Dr. Starline, an avid admirer of the evil doctor who was determined to bring him back to his old self. Starline then subjected Eggman to aggressive hypnotherapy and electro-shock treatments in order for Eggman to regain his memories. (#11)

    Between "therapy sessions", Mr. Tinker wrote a note to his "daughter" Belle, explaining what had happened to him and what Starline was trying to do to him. He expressed that he didn't want to go back to being Eggman, but had no way to fight back and apologised to Belle, stating that he loved her and bid her farewell. He reprogrammed a Motobug Badnik and slipped the note between the seams in its shell before sending it off to find Belle.

    Eggman metalvirus Some time later, Metal Sonic would return to the Final Egg, having been defeated by the Resistance and disarmed before being let go. At the sight of Metal, Mr. Tinker immediately sought to fix the damaged robot. It was then, however, that he recalled his true identity, remembering when he had first built Metal and how he had repaired him many times following its encounters with Sonic. With his memory and personality restored, Eggman got to work on repairing Metal while greeting Dr. Starline, who told the doctor how he was a great admirer and wished to work under him. Starline had even gathered the seven Chaos Emeralds as an "apprenticeship application", which impressed Eggman enough to welcome the platypus into his employ. With Starline, Rough and Tumble now serving him, Dr. Eggman was ready to resume his quest to conquer the world. This time, he would make the world suffer like never before as he unleashed his most horrific creation yet: the Metal Virus. (#12)

    Infection As Dr. Eggman got to work on testing the potency of the Metal Virus, he sent Rough and Tumble out to get Sonic's attention. Around this time, he also made contact with Mimic, a former member of the Diamond Cutters who was responsible for killing off most of the group. Eggman supplied Mimic with a force of Badniks to help him eliminate Whisper, the last of the Diamond Cutters. (T & W) In the meantime, the Doctor observed how the Metal Virus converted animals into mindless Zombots that obeyed his commands.

    Satisfied that he could deploy the Metal Virus with minimal risk to his own infrastructure, Eggman prepared the launch of his Faceship with which he would deliver the virus to the unsuspecting populace. Meanwhile, Dr. Starline and Metal Sonic had travelled to Frozen Peak where they would empty out one of Eggman's old bases as well as set a trap for Sonic. Starline almost killed Sonic and Silver using a bomb planted inside the old base, though Eggman had been watching everything from his current lair and was furious with Starline for almost robbing him of the satisfaction of destroying Sonic himself. Of course, Sonic had survived thanks to Silver raising a telekinetic shield to protect them from the explosion.

    Having finished beta-testing the Metal Virus, Eggman decided to perform one final test in the field. Having grown irritated with Rough and Tumble's presence, the doctor provided the skunk brothers with backpacks containing the Metal Virus, claiming that they were weapons the duo could use against Sonic. Having tracked Sonic and Amy Rose to his old Echo Mine base, Eggman sent the skunks there with a drilling mech. When Sonic inevitably destroyed the machine, Rough and Tumble then resorted to using the backpacks, pressing the buttons on the straps as Eggman had instructed. This caused the backpacks to open and spill the Metal Virus all over the skunks' bodies, transforming them into Zombots. Sonic fought against the duo and knocked them down into a pit where they couldn't get out, but became infected with the virus himself.

    Eggman starline fanboying Overjoyed from watching Sonic become infected, Eggman proceeded to put his plan to spread the Metal Virus into action. Launching the Faceship - which was using the Chaos Emeralds as its power source - Eggman's first target was Windmill Village, where he had previously been living as Mr. Tinker. The doctor watched with delight as the virus was poured from the Faceship onto the village, transforming all of its inhabitants into Zombots. On Eggman's command, the Zombots spread out in every direction to infect as much organic life as possible.

    After Windmill Village, the Faceship moved on and dropped a viral payload on Seaside City. The infection spread like wildfire and the city would fall in under an hour. The Chaotix did what they could to rescue those who had not been infected, rallying them to the harbour where a Restoration shuttle would pick them up. However, they lost Charmy to the growing Zombot horde. (#17)

    Eggman would next attack Floral Forest Village, home of Cream the Rabbit and her mother Vanilla. Sonic arrived on the scene as the Metal Virus was released, attempting to evacuate the villagers to the northern glade where a Restoration shuttle could extract them. While Cream and Vanilla were rescued, their Chao - Cheese and Chocola - were infected. Sonic tried to immobilize the infected Chao by trapping them inside jars, but the Zombot Chao smashed their way out after Sonic had left. Eggman took great pleasure in watching Sonic struggle to rescue others while trying to keep his own infection at bay, but his good mood would be ruined when he discovered that the Zombots weren't responding to voice commands any more. The doctor hypothesized that the virus was mutating the more it spread, which would explain why the Zombots were becoming unresponsive. Dr. Starline expressed concern that the virus might become uncontrollable, but Eggman brushed off these concerns and said he would work something out in due time. (#18)

    Losing control After dumping viral payloads onto Sunset and Central City, Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline addressed the issue of their lack of control over the Zombots, which were no longer responding to voice commands. Taking an Egg Mobile out over Barricade Town, they tested a number of tight-band radio frequencies to try and bring the infected back under control, but without success. Starline expressed his concern over the infection becoming uncontrollable and how they had not been inoculated against the virus, to which Eggman stated that he hadn't bothered creating a vaccine and that his only plan to avoid contamination was staying out of the Zombots' reach.

    SonicEggman23 Dr. Eggman vs. Sonic

    While Starline and Eggman were bickering over the inherent flaws in the plan, Sonic arrived on the scene. He confronted Eggman over his choice of returning to his evil ways rather than continuing to live a peaceful life as Mr. Tinker, and for a brief moment, Eggman seemed to regret leaving that life behind. However, he quickly retorted that he was doing more important work now by bringing peace and unity to the world, when in reality he was doing anything but. Realising that he wasn't getting through to the doctor, Sonic was prepared to fight him despite his state of infection.

    During their fight, Sonic overturned the Egg Mobile and caused Eggman and himself to fall to the ground. Before the Zombots could swarm them, Starline managed to find a control signal to make the Zombots stop in their tracks. Before the signal could be uploaded to the Faceship, Sonic destroyed the Egg Mobile and its transmitter. He then fled the scene as Starline retrieved Eggman with his hover-box.

    After the doctors returned to the Faceship, Starline decided that drastic measures had to be taken to get Eggman's plan back on track. The previous day, the platypus had gone behind Eggman's back and contacted the Deadly Six on Lost Hex, hoping to recruit them and have them use their electromagnetic abilities to manage the Zombot crisis. With Eggman still content to let the global infection run its course before acting, Starline summoned the Zeti to the Faceship using the Warp Topaz. Upon arrival, the Zeti took control of Metal Sonic and also attempted to attack Starline. Starline blew upon the Cacophonic Conch to keep the Zeti in line, but was standing too close to Zazz. Once he stopped to take a breath, Zazz headbutted him and took the Conch, tossing it to Zavok. Zavok then set Metal Sonic upon Eggman and Starline, but the platypus opened a portal and he, Eggman and Metal Sonic fell through, landing on Angel Island where Sonic and the surviving Restoration members had gathered.

    All or Nothing Eggman fires starline With the Deadly Six now in control of Eggman's operation, the doctors had no choice but to ally with the remaining heroes in order to save themselves. Eggman came up with an idea to use the Warp Topaz to create multiple portals to send different groups after each one of the Deadly Six and retrieve the Chaos Emerald that each member now possessed. With all the emeralds, Sonic could turn into Super Sonic, curing himself of the Metal Virus and using his power in conjunction with the Warp Topaz to eliminate the virus worldwide. Starline was opposed to the idea, stating that the Warp Topaz was difficult to use properly and that he was the only one who fully understood how it worked. He had his own plan in the works and opened a portal in order to leave, but at that moment Metal Sonic grabbed Starline and pulled off his glove holding the Warp Topaz, handing it to Eggman. Eggman then declared that Starline was fired and had Metal Sonic throw him through the portal, which then closed behind him.

    Using parts from the Restoration's shuttle, Eggman and Tails built a multi-wormhole generator which would allow them to use the Warp Topaz to generate a wormhole to each location the Deadly Six members were occupying. They also built a treadmill for Sonic to continue running on in order to hold off his transformation into a Zombot. While the Restoration members divided into teams to strike at the Zeti and take their Chaos Emeralds, Eggman and Sonic remained on Angel Island, keeping in contact with Rouge the Bat who had infiltrated the Faceship and was working with Orbot and Cubot to sabotage the vessel.

    After some time had passed, Sonic's allies returned to Angel Island with the Chaos Emeralds, just as Zavok had arrived in the Faceship. Rouge managed to sabotage the ship's systems and cause it to crash, destroying Zavok's means of producing more Metal Virus. However, Zavok used his Chaos-enhanced abilities to turn into a giant and lob clusters of Zombots onto the floating isle. At this point, there was nowhere for anyone to run, although that didn't stop Eggman from shoving Amy into a zombified Big the Cat so that he could make a getaway. Unfortunately for the doctor, a Zombot Froggy was stood in his path and he tripped over him. The little amphibian then leapt onto Eggman's back and infected him. Fortunately, Eggman didn't transform as Sonic and Silver, with assistance from Metal Sonic, took the last Chaos Emerald from Zavok and transformed into their Super States. After swiftly beating Zavok, Super Sonic and Super Silver used their powers in conjunction with the Warp Topaz, stripping the Metal Virus from all over the planet and collecting it into a singular mass which was then thrown into the sun, eradicating the virus completely.

    Omega mech Although the Metal Virus had been eradicated, Sonic had disappeared. While the other heroes were distracted, Eggman, Orbot and Cubot made a discreet exit. As they fled, Orbot recovered the head of E-123 Omega, the last of the doctor's E-100 series robots. Pleased to have his traitorous creation back, Eggman took Omega's head back to his lair where he not only rebuilt his body, but reprogrammed and hardwired him into a new mecha, the Giga Omega.

    Some time later, Sonic's friends had gathered in Spiral Hill Village and were celebrating. With Sonic gone, Eggman felt it was the perfect time to cause some havoc without his nemesis around to stop him and crashed the party using the Giga Omega. The Restoration members fought hard against Eggman's mech, but it wasn't until Sonic's sudden return from the Sol Dimension that the battle finally turned in the heroes' favour. Sonic was able to break Omega loose of Eggman's mecha and the enraged robot unloaded all of his ammunition on the machine before then falling apart. Although upset over Sonic's return, Eggman still considered the day a win for him since he had ruined the heroes' party. He vowed to return to terrorize them again as he fled in his Egg Mobile.

    Bad Guys While plotting his next major operation, Eggman discovered that one of his facilities had come under attack. The day after the attack, the doctor arrived to inspect the damage and found that a large supply of Energy Cores had been stolen and the facility's database had been infiltrated. The evidence on hand indicated Sonic and Tails were responsible, but Eggman didn't believe it, suspecting another player was involved. In truth, it was Dr. Starline who had led the attack after having recruited several villains to aid him with his own agenda.

    Two days later, Starline and his team would attack an Eggnet Hub and send out a false transmission telling Eggman that one of his supply depots was being ransacked. This would divert the doctor's attention long enough for Starline to send out a control signal to Egg Base Sigma, allowing him to take full control of the base and all Badniks within it. However, Orbot would discover the false transmission and alert Eggman that the network hub had been infiltrated. While surveillance hadn't detected Starline, it had caught Zavok on camera, leading Eggman to believe that the Zeti was behind the attack. Piloting an Egg Hawk plane, the doctor led a fleet of Balkiries to attack the hub.

    By the time Eggman arrived at the hub, Starline, Mimic, Rough and Tumble had all fled, going their separate ways. Zavok attempted to bring down the doctor's aerial force with the hub's defences, but the facility was ultimately overwhelmed and destroyed. Zavok survived the attack and escaped, but what left Eggman feeling more unsatisfied was how the Zeti knew where his facilities were. He didn't believe that Zavok was the mastermind behind the attacks, though he did not yet suspect Starline.

    Test Run Several weeks after the loss of Egg Base Sigma, Dr. Eggman completed construction of a tower off the coast of Seaside City. The facility acted as a sort of virtual environment in which the doctor could carry out testing on various weapons and new Badnik models. Orbot and Cubot were assigned to oversee the facility directly while Eggman was back at his primary lair, using a virtual reality interface to control the test environments.

    The thunderstorms generated by the tower's defense system attracted the attention of Sonic, Tails and Amy, who arrived at the facility via the Tornado. However, Tangle the Lemur and Belle the Tinkerer had followed the trio on a hovercraft. Orbot and Cubot detected Sonic's entry after he, Amy and Tails found themselves trapped in one of the test chambers. When the lackeys contacted Eggman, the doctor was delighted that he had the chance to test his Pseudo Badniks on the heroes.

    Altering the gravity within the test environment, Eggman set a squad of Pseudo Badniks on the heroes. The trio were able to evade the attackers and make it into another chamber where the doctor had another surprise waiting for them: four modified Egg Vipers. Sonic was able to destroy one of them, but the other three began to overwhelm the heroes. Meanwhile, outside the testing area, Tangle and Belle had tied up Orbot and Cubot and tricked them into revealing how they could enter the test chambers to help Sonic and the others. Tying her tail to a pipe like a tether, Tangle leapt into a portal.

    Eggman meets belle While Tangle entered the test chamber, Belle remained with Orbot and Cubot, monitoring the situation with Orbot's computer pad. During this time, Eggman called his hench-bots and was surprised to find Belle on the other end of the line. Looking at the mechanical marionette through the pad's camera, Eggman quickly deduced that he had created Belle during his "Mr. Tinker" period. Belle asked Eggman what he was doing and why, and the doctor obliged her. He explained the purpose of the tower and how it bent the laws of physics to the doctor's will, providing the ideal ground for him to experiment with new inventions and strategies. Eggman stopped himself before going any further, believing that Belle wouldn't comprehend his "unrestrained genius" and rhetorically asked her what she found so special about Mr. Tinker. Deeply upset by her "father's" words, Belle dropped the pad to the floor.

    Eggman continued to harrass Sonic and the others inside the test chamber, but because Tangle's tail had remained within the portal grid for so long, the system began to malfunction. The heroes escaped from the test chamber and fled along with Belle, Orbot and Cubot as the entire complex began to collapse on itself. The destruction of the tower caused a feedback surge in Eggman's virtual reality interface, delivering a mild electric shock.

    Zeti Hunt Operating from an outpost in Winterburg, Eggman attempted to hunt down the members of the Deadly Six who had been left planetbound since the Metal Virus incident. However, his operation was interrupted by Sonic and Eggman fought against the hedgehog in a snowman-themed mech. Eggman, predictably, lost the fight and his base would be destroyed soon after.

    Battle for the Empire Egg Emperor vs Super Eggrobo Egg Emperor vs. Super Eggrobo

    Some time following his last fight with Sonic, Dr. Eggman's new capital of Eggperial City was attacked by Dr. Starline and his two new minions: Surge and Kitsunami. The two cyborgs swiftly tore through the Badniks defending the city while Starline uploaded a virus into Eggman's network. From the central tower, the virus was transmitted to every Badnik over hundreds of miles, bringing them under Starline's control and summoning them to the city. When Orbot and Cubot were corrupted by the signal, they attacked the doctor, but lacking any real offensive ability, they were easily overpowered and the doctor escaped through a chute leading to his memorial garage.

    Within the garage were several of Eggman's past mechs, though not all had been restored to operational condition. Eggman boarded the Egg Emperor mech and used it to attack Starline while he was within the central tower's control room. Thanks to his Tricore, Starline was able to evade Eggman's attack and escape. He fled into the city and deduced where the Egg Emperor had launched from, making his own way to the memorial garage where he commandeered the Super Eggrobo. He then engaged Eggman in a spectacular giant robot battle.

    Eggslam The two doctors with their giant robots fought furiously across the city, but the Eggrobo was crippled after being impaled upon the Egg Emperor's lance. Emerging from his mech, Starline activated his Tricore and unleashed the Tricore Blast, destroying the Egg Emperor. Eggman emerged from the Egg Emperor's wreckage smiling, having apparently expected the battle to turn out the way it did and noting that Starline had just exhausted the Tricore. As Eggman walked towards him, Starline raised his Hypno-Gear, but Eggman lowered his flight goggles which had special lenses to protect him from Starline's hypnosis. Panicking, Starline then attacked his former idol with his heel-spurs. In a rare show of physical prowess, Eggman grabbed Starline's leg before raising him up and slamming him to the ground. He then took Starline's now-useless glove and threw it aside, mocking the doctor and stating how he had actually been paying attention to their conversations while they were working together and had all the while been thinking of strategies to overcome Starline should he ever turn against him.

    Just as he was done humiliating Starline, Eggman was approached by Belle with Metal Sonic in tow. Belle had come to terms with Eggman's return to villainy and had come to say goodbye to her "father" before going back to her friends. When Eggman asked how Belle had overcome Starline's control signal, she told him that she used herself as a secure server. Impressed with Belle's ingenuity, Eggman offered the marionette an opportunity to serve him as a mechanic, but she turned him down. The doctor decided to let Belle go while he returned to his tower with Metal Sonic, whom Belle had repaired following his fight with Surge.

    Escape from the Empire With Starline dealt with, Eggman returned to the central tower and regained control of Eggperial City and all of the Badniks within, quickly setting the entire assembled horde of robots on Sonic, Tails, Belle and an unconscious Kit. While the group were able to outrun the Badnik horde, Eggman controlled the city down to its foundations. When Sonic stopped in an attempt to bait him, the doctor remotely triggered the collapse of the building the hedgehog was stood upon, causing him to fall back to ground level where the Badniks were waiting.

    While Sonic was fending off the horde by himself, Tails and Belle had snuck into a hangar and stolen a shuttle, returning to pick Sonic up. As the shuttle fled, Sonic noticed that none of the Badniks were following. As Eggman revealed via a floating communications drone, he had sent Metal Sonic to intercept the craft. Using his Maximum Overdrive attack, Metal tore through the shuttle and sent it crashing to the ground. Sonic, Tails, Belle and Kit survived the crash, but were forced to run for their lives again as Metal Sonic came after them. The group ran to the city limits where Metal cornered them, but the killer robot was suddenly recalled back to the central tower after receiving a signal indicating that the doctor was in danger.

    Overpowered Eggman-meets-surge Back at the tower, Eggman had discovered that Surge was still alive after her battle with Sonic. She had also stolen one of Eggman's prototype devices: the Dynamo Cage. The doctor commanded his Egg Pawns to shoot Surge dead and take the device from her corpse, but to his shock, the Dynamo Cage allowed Surge to absorb the Badniks' shots to empower herself, something that it wasn't designed to do. After gleefully destroying her attackers, Surge disappeared in a flash of lightning, though not before threatening to come back for Eggman after she was done with Sonic. Later on, after repairing Metal Sonic and taking stock of the supplies Surge had destroyed, the doctor decided to head out with Metal and a squad of Egg Pawns to hunt down the cybernetic tenrec.

    Aboard his Eggwalker II, Eggman tracked Surge down to Egg Base Sigma, now deserted following Dr. Starline's demise. Metal Sonic charged in ahead without orders while Eggman spotted Tails at the entrance, surmising that Sonic was already inside. Eggman followed Tails into the facility, but was soon ambushed by Surge who had been hiding in some rafters. The doctor managed to throw Surge off of his walker before commanding his Badniks to dogpile her, but she had since seized control of Whisper the Wolf's group of Wisps and used their powers to overcome the robots and cripple the Eggwalker. Eggman tried to escape through a nearby emergency hatch, but found that his old security codes had been overidden by Dr. Starline. Surge attacked again and Eggman's startled screams drew Sonic, Metal Sonic and Tails back towards him. Finding herself at a disadvantage, Surge fled up to the rafters in order to regroup with Kit.

    With a moment of reprieve, Eggman and Sonic discussed their current predicament and the doctor explained how he was trying to reclaim his Dynamo Cage from Surge. Not wanting to fight both Surge and Eggman at the same time, Sonic and Tails suggested a temporary truce, which Eggman agreed to. They then followed Tails' map to an empty laboratory where they discovered numerous stasis tubes filled with glowing green fluid, as well as plans and diagrams that Dr. Starline had left behind that outlined how he had augmented Surge and Kit. Sonic and Tails were horrified by this discovery and were further disgusted as Eggman stated how impressed he was with Starline's work.

    Knowing that Surge and Kit were watching them, Sonic called out to them so that they could settle things. Having no weapons or gadgets with which to fight, Eggman stayed out of the scuffle and left Metal Sonic to assist Sonic and Tails. The battle came to an end as Surge stood over Sonic in the centre of the wrecked laboratory, attempting to electrocute him to death. However, her abuse of the Dynamo Cage caused it to overload and shatter, resulting in her losing consciousness. With Surge incapacitated, Eggman decided to take advantage of the moment and have Metal Sonic take the Dynamo Cage and Surge.

    Before Eggman and Metal could take Surge away, Kit intervened and saved her before using his hydrokinetic powers to bring the damaged base collapsing down on his enemies' heads. Sonic, Tails, Eggman, Metal and the now-liberated Wisps were able to escape being crushed to death, however, though Sonic was infuriated by the doctor's attempt to take Surge for his own purposes. Sonic decided to let Eggman go as he was exhausted from the fight and needed to get Whisper's Wisps back to her, so the adversaries once again went their seperate ways.

    Appearance Dr. Eggman is depicted as a human with a rotund and burly appearance, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs.

    Mr Tinker Eggman as “Mr. Tinker”.

    For attire, Eggman wears tinted, navy blue pince-nez glasses and green-lensed goggles as headwear and an elegant, red coat sporting two square metal buttons on both sides of the chest in gold. These buttons have white straps that run across the coat's sides to identical buttons on the back. The coat also has silver, zipper-like linings down the back, arms and front, yellow cuffs, and two extensions on the front that have large silver buttons. In addition, Eggman also wears white, cuff-less gloves on his hands and a pair of black pants with matching boots seemingly attached to them bearing circular plates on the both sides of the ankles and three square ones riding up the shin.

    After losing his memory and gaining the new alias "Mr. Tinker", Eggman began to wear green overalls, a pink shirt, and pink and green slippers.

    Personality Dr. Eggman is an evil and megalomaniacal genius who is constantly planning to take over the world. Arrogant, raucous and narcissistic, he prefers to show up and claim responsibility whenever he is carrying out his villainous deeds and make himself known to his enemies after he comes back from a defeat; as put by Sonic, subtlety is not Eggman's forte.

    As revealed by himself in Sonic the Hedgehog #26, when it comes to designing machines, he prefers to worry about making sure they look nice aesthetically, rather than making sure they work as intended.

    As Mr. Tinker, Eggman displays a very different disposition, being a friendly, humble and modest man who loves children and helping others out. Mr. Tinker also displays a somewhat cowardly streak, being afraid of his own robots, although it does not keep him from helping and comforting the innocent.

    Eggman is an impatient, short-tempered and deceitful self-proclaimed evil genius and megalomaniac, who is always trying to take over the world. His ambitions and vile influence extend to even his robot minions, some of which he has programmed to be deceitful and conquest-driven like himself. He is similarly extremely arrogant and conceited, to the point where he, as an example, deems heartfelt gifts made in his image for him to be inferior simply because they cannot match up to his own handsomeness. He is also rather violent, as he tends to use brute force to defeat his foes. However, he is also immature, usually resorting to pouting when having a bad day. As devoted as he is to conquering the world, Eggman can be a bit of a slouch, having built robots to handle more important tasks for him while he slacks off. He also tends to portray himself as an emotionally vulnerable man, like when he claimed his feelings got hurt when his robots turned on him, although he is quick to resort to anger when someone shows him no sympathy. Eggman is usually bold in his statements and standpoints. However, when he finds himself at a disadvantage, he is quick to give into peer pressure and physical threats. In addition, he takes great pride in himself and his creations, the latter in particular when when they surpass his expectations (even when it happens in a way he did not intend). When it comes to birthdays, and especially his own, Eggman finds them a waste of time and bunch of nonsense. He especially dislikes his own birthdays due to his Badniks' tendency to throw unwanted birthdays and how he never manages to accomplish anything noteworthy to mark the occasion.

    Abilities Eggman is a brilliant scientist and inventor with seemingly limitless mastery over technology. His remarkable skills as an engineer and programmer are best evidenced by the armies of robots and mechs he has created for his numerous schemes. He is also an incredibly skilled pilot: able to manipulate many different kinds of his own mechs, robots, and vehicles in difficult battles with Sonic.

    Eggman is also far more physically fit than his appearance lets on. It was mentioned by Rouge in Issue #12 that despite his paunch, Eggman has a strict cardio regimen. In Issue #50, Eggman also displays a rare show of physical strength after his mecha battle with Dr. Starline; he grabs Starline by the leg using one arm and lifts him up before slamming him into the ground.

    He has been shown to carry a gun that he uses in the absence of a vehicle or any available robot.

    Keys: Villain character and evil twin

    Scourge the Hedgehog, formerly known as Anti-Sonic or Evil-Sonic, (born day 174, 3220)[note 1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is the Moebius counterpart of Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as the ruler of Moebius. In his earlier years, Scourge was little more than a rival to Sonic, with occasional fights between the two hedgehogs. However, when he attempted to steal the Master Emerald along with Rouge, he used the chaos energy of the Emerald to intentionally become stronger than Sonic, but after Locke punched the hedgehog while absorbing energy from the Emerald, Scourge transformed into a green-hued individual that could be finally distinguished from Sonic.

    Appearance As the Moebius counterpart of Sonic, Scourge shared many physical similarities with Sonic prior to taking up the name "Scourge". As such, he was depicted as a moebian hedgehog of average height. Back then, he had blue fur covering most of his body, while his muzzle, arms and torso were covered in peach skin. He also has a medium-long black nose, triangular ears, and a short tail. Originally, Anti-Sonic's eyes were solid black, and he was considerably shorter, as were his quills. He also was initially depicted with three quills arranged like a Mohawk on his head and a single quill on his back, but was later depicted with six quills on his head and two back quills instead. Later, he would be depicted with green eyes, longer quills, and a taller and slimmer stature.[3]

    After a failed attempt to attain a Super Form with the Master Emerald, Scourge's appearance was changed drastically, causing his fur to turn green (his fur varied from bright green to a darker pine shade depending on the colorist) and his eyes to become blue. He also came to sport two large scars on his abdomen that Locke scarred him with and exaggerated pointy teeth. When later incarcerated in the No Zone, his quills were cut shorter.

    For attire, Scourge originally wore what consisted of a black leather jacket, boots, and dark sunglasses. He would occasionally also pass himself off as Sonic by stealing and wearing the heroic hedgehog's sneakers. His leather jacket later gained flame designs on the arms and his shoes became green, silver and black, which would become his go-to-outfit. He would also sport red sunglasses. Sometimes, he would be depicted with fingerless gloves, but the standard white gloves have been a more common accessory of his. For a time, Scourge also wore a crown of sorts; a three-spiked, grooved dark piece that rested on his forehead.

    When he conquered Moebius, he draped with a silver crown and changed the cuffs on his boots to gold.

    Following his imprisonment in the Zone Jail, he retained his usual green sneakers but was forced to wear an orange jumpsuit.

    History Early life During his childhood, Scourge was largely ignored by his weaselly father, Anti-Jules Hedgehog, a diplomat who contributed to Great Peace, leading Anti-Sonic to later remark that his father was a man of "empty words". During a ceremony amidst the Great Peace in particular, a young Anti-Sonic was ignored by his father.[6][7]

    Taking Over Anti-Mobius After ten years passed following the beginning of the Great Peace, Anti-Mobius fell into a state of decline and stagnation and when it reached rock bottom, Anti-Sonic was ready to seize power. He presumably killed his own father. Following this, Anti-Sonic along with Anti-Sally threw King Anti-Max, the evil alter ego of King Maximillian Acorn into the Zone of Silence, taking control of Mobotropolis and ruling it with an iron fist. Their only opposition was the kindly veterinarian Dr. Julian Kintobor, whose units of Sweep-bots would clean up the litter left behind by the Anti-Freedom Fighters.[8][6]

    Interactions with Alternate Zones StH 011 Anti-Sonic Scourge's appearance when he was known as "Anti-Sonic", from Sonic the Hedgehog #11.

    Anti-Sonic first encountered Sonic the Hedgehog from the Prime Zone while the latter took a detour through the Cosmic Interstate. After getting lost along the way, Sonic wound up in the Anti-Verse. The two briefly fought one another until Dr. Ivo Kintobor helped Sonic apprehend his evil self. Sonic then continued his trip along the Cosmic Interstate back to Mobius Prime.[2]

    Later on, he was summoned by Robo-Robotnik with the task of stopping all of his counterparts from guarding a giant hand which would activate the Giant Borg, a mission he gladly accepted, and accomplished, as Robo-Robotnik teleported the hand to his base while Anti-Sonic distracted the other Sonics.[9]

    Later still, Anti-Sonic traveled to Mobius Prime, this time accompanied by Anti-Sally, Anti-Tails, Anti-Rotor and Anti-Antoine, all dressed like their Mobius Prime selves. While Sonic, Tails and Antoine were absent in the Negative Reality trying to get to the Zone of Silence to rescue King Max, and Sally was occupied training the Substitute Freedom Fighters, the gang's evil counterparts began terrorizing the locals. Sonic and the others eventually showed up and confronted their evil selves, eventually sending them back to Anti-Mobius.[10] Anti-Sonic would later return, acting as Dr. Robotnik's ally, and fool Anti-Knuckles into helping him steal the Chaos Emeralds from the Floating Island on Mobius Prime. Though the plan seemed feasible at first, Anti-Knuckles' overall good nature and the aid of the Freedom Fighters enabled Knuckles to trounce Evil Sonic, leaving him in his counterpart's care.[11]

    After Robotnik-Prime's demise, a different Robo-Robotnik recruited Anti-Sonic to help him locate the fragments of the Giant Borg battle-suit, having called upon him once before to thwart an army of good alternate versions of Sonic in their quest to stop that same weapon. Defeated the first time, Anti-Sonic proved somewhat more competent on the second try, successfully amassing all but one of the Giant Borg components. Unfortunately, he mistook yet another alternate Robotnik for his current employer, and was thus trapped in the Mobius of Sonic Underground. Freed from prison by Sonia the Hedgehog and Manic the Hedgehog, siblings to the Sonic from that dimension, Anti-Sonic was caught yet again, this time by Zonic the Zone Cop, who imprisoned Anti-Sonic in No Zone and then revealed to him that his old gang had replaced him with Evil St. John.[8]

    Evil Sonic also appeared in the dimension of Litigopolis, a city ruled by a computerized version of Dr. Robotnik known as Judgmental Unrelenting Digitized Government Enforcer (J.U.D.G.E.). As usual, Evil Sonic amused himself with random acts of vandalism, and J.U.D.G.E mistook him for Sonic Prime and thus took that Sonic prisoner to punish him for the crime.[12]

    Escaping and knocking out Zonic, Evil Sonic made his way to Mobius Prime once again, only to fall in battle against Antoine D'Coolette, who mistook him for a disguised Sonic trying to help him impress his father. He was then taken back to the No Zone again, only to escape and return to Anti-Mobius.[13]

    Impersonation Back on Anti-Mobius, Evil Sonic was confronted by Patch, the Anti-Freedom Fighter version of Antoine and his long-time rival. Handily defeating his nemesis, Evil Sonic hatched a scheme for revenge, knocking out Antoine Prime and bringing him back to Anti-Mobius while leaving Patch in his place to torment them both. Patch's quick adaptation and moves to seize power inspired Evil Sonic, who performed a similar switch with his own counterpart. While impersonating Sonic, Evil Sonic made advances on Bunnie Rabbot (who at the time was trying to inspire jealousy in Patch, not realizing that he was not the Antoine that she loved), Amy Rose, and a number of other girls in Knothole. However, he soon focused his energy on the most attractive looking, in his superficial opinion, girl he had yet met on Mobius Prime: Rouge the Bat.[14]

    Not as easily taken in as some of Evil Sonic's other targets, Rouge was just as willing to manipulate Evil Sonic as he was to use her, and she wanted his help in stealing the Master Emerald from Angel Island. Ready to do anything to satisfy his own desires, Evil Sonic agreed, sneaking in while Rouge distracted Locke, the Guardian at the time. However, Sonic Prime proved more resourceful than Evil Sonic had anticipated, and returned to Mobius Prime to engage his counterpart in battle. The two struggled briefly before Locke, realizing Rouge's deception, appeared and used the Master Emerald to teleport Evil Sonic away. Found by Rouge, the hedgehog managed to appease her disappointment with a smaller gemstone, and their partnership continued.[15]

    Revealed as Scourge The Real Scourge Evil Sonic after his transformation into Scourge, from Sonic the Hedgehog #160.

    Evil Sonic and Rouge's next plan to lay hands on the Master Emerald appeared as though it would be similarly disastrous. Both thieves, their interest in each other obviously surpassed by their greed, planned to have the other get caught by Locke, and in the end were both found by him on the Emerald Shrine. They ended up fighting him, with Rouge taking most of the heat from the angry Guardian. Instead of assisting her, however, Evil Sonic made for the Emerald itself and attempted to go Super using its energy, declaring it a birthday gift for himself, stating: "Sorry Rouge, but the birthday boy gets dibs on the goods!" Locke quickly intervened, striking the hedgehog with a Chaos-infused punch just before he could attain full Super status. However, the hedgehog soon recovered and revealed himself as having attained some transformation; bearing twin marks from Locke's attack, his fur now being permanently green and his strength being considerably enhanced.[3]

    Declaring himself a "real Scourge" and claiming that the "evil-twin shtick" was over, he brutally beat Locke into submission. Rouge prevented him from doing more, saying that by her rules they wouldn't kill, so Scourge decided he should use his newfound power to get revenge on someone else: Sonic. Working by intuition, he invoked Chaos Control with the Master Emerald and transported both himself and Rouge to Knothole. Fueled with arrogance, though he briefly helped Sonic defeat the Croctobot - Eggman's birthday present to Sonic - he soon turned on him. However, he would made the mistake of attacking Shadow, and the two Mobius Prime hedgehogs teamed up on him. He then became overwhelmed when the other Freedom Fighters joined in. In this, he also learned that Shadow was considerably more violent and angry than Sonic, and was pursued by the enraged hedgehog. Rouge told him to teleport them back, but he replied that he couldn't without an Emerald. She then told him to go faster and he replied, "Maybe if I didn't have this dead weight to tow." They escaped Shadow's wrath when an unknown Warp Ring portal appeared and the two jumped through it.[16]

    Working with Finitevus Destructix Scourge with Fiona and the other Destructix, from Sonic the Hedgehog #183.

    Not long after Scourge and Rouge had escaped Shadow's wrath, a Warp Ring supplied by Dr. Finitevus led the duo to an unknown location where Finitevus stood asking if they were interested in joining him in his goals. Scourge was quick to oblige so long as it involved harming Sonic in any way, shape or form. Thanks to his power, Scourge served as Finitevus' right hand man, teaming up with the Destructix on various occasions. His most scathing blow to Sonic and the others came when he revealed that he had become romantically involved with Fiona Fox, who then left with him after they briefly battled with Sonic, Amy and Tails.

    Scourge would remain on Finitevus' side despite Fiona's misgivings and his own doubts about Finitevus' plans. Fearing that Finitevus' plan might fail, he charged up his Warp Ring with energy from the Master Emerald and was witness to Finitevus' tirade on how "corrupt" the world had become and his plan to "cleanse" all life in a wave of Emerald fire.

    Scourge's fears reached their breaking point during the fight between Super Sonic and Enerjak. Scourge recognized that with Enerjak on the loose, nowhere on Mobius would be safe, so he convinced Fiona to leave the planet altogether. Scourge admitted that ever since his battle with Sonic, he had been deeply considering Sonic's comments that he and Scourge weren't so different. Knowing he had changed since his transformation, Scourge resolved to find answers to who he was now, and left with Fiona through the enhanced Warp Ring to the places he could find them. Scourge promised Fiona, however, that it would be fun.

    The Suppression Squad King Scourge enters Scourge introduces himself as King of Moebius, from Sonic the Hedgehog #189.

    Scourge, still shocked at the realization that he and Sonic truly weren't so different, returned to Anti-Mobius, intent on distinguishing and separating everything from their Mobius Prime counterparts. Within a matter of days, Scourge took control of the entire planet, crowning himself king and making Fiona his queen. He then took back control of the Anti-Freedom Fighters, renaming and reshaping them into the Suppression Squad. Upon stealing a pair of Globe Posts, Scourge plotted, with Fiona's aid, to launch an assault and invade Freedom HQ. When the Posts were repaired and reactivated, Scourge sent the Squad ahead, who found the base's defenders surprised and unprepared. A pitched battle ensued, until Sonic returned from his duties with the Chaotix in New Megaopolis to turn the tide, only for Scourge to make his grand entrance and appear before them. Scourge then proceeded to battle Sonic, and in the midst of the battle, it was hinted he holds some unknown incentive that keeps the Squad loyal to him. Eventually the pitched battle between the two groups led the base dangerously close to collapse, forcing the Freedom Fighters to retreat, leaving Scourge victorious, though his taunting towards Sonic enraged him to the point he vowed to return for revenge.

    Time in Mobius and the Suppression Squad's Betrayal A couple of days later, Metal Sonic, under the direct control of Dr. Eggman, arrived and told Anti-Miles he was here to see Sonic. Anti-Miles, instead, summoned Scourge to inform him Metal Sonic had arrived on the scene. Instead of leaving, Eggman had Metal Sonic attack Scourge, saying "why pass up one uppity hedgehog for another?" As they battled, Sonic himself arrived, intent on battling Scourge and re-taking Freedom HQ on his own, as the Council of Acorn opted to focus their attacks on New Megaopolis and they doubted Scourge would make his gains on Mobius Prime as easily as on the newly renamed Moebius. Scourge was manipulated by Anti-Miles into ordering the Suppression Squad to allow himself to battle Metal Sonic, but soon found himself out-matched. Sonic saved him at the last second and offered another temporary truce. Scourge told Sonic to save his sympathy, as he was happy to bust two Sonic heads. Metal Sonic felt the same way, and Sonic found himself battling both. During the fight, Scourge suggested that Sonic join him and conquer Mobius, and then they could work together to conquer the multiverse. Before Sonic could give his answer, Eggman dispatched reinforcements to deal with both hedgehogs, in the form of Metal Scourge.[17]

    The battle started up again, with the robotic duplicates quickly holding their own. Sonic asked Scourge to reconsider a truce, but instead Scourge pointed out Sonic hadn't yet answered his question about conquering Mobius and then the multiverse. Sonic didn't refuse, as such, instead insisting he was too preoccupied with the present right now. Grinning evilly, Scourge took that as a "yes". As the battle amplified, Scourge's temper began to flare, refusing to give the robotic duplicates any ground when the battle began damaging Freedom HQ. Scourge also arrogantly insisted to Fiona that he could handle them, when she asked if she and the Squad should step in. In the end, however, he broke down and asked the Squad for help, leading to Metal Sonic and Metal Scourge's destruction.[7]

    Not long after, Scourge sent Anti-Miles to bomb New Mobotropolis.[18] When Anti-Miles returned, having been apparently chased by the Freedom Fighters, he and the rest of the squad, except Fiona, revealed their planned betrayal. Angry at Scourge for constantly abusing them, they attacked him alongside the Freedom Fighters. At first, Scourge and Fiona were getting the upper hand against both teams, but Sonic returned from his trip to Moebius and attacked Scourge. However, Boomer then blasted both hedgehogs and Anti-Miles threw them into the portal leading back to Moebius before it closed. Scourge, now trapped on Moebius with Sonic and Amy, promised to get revenge on his team, but then looked in fear at his old stalker, Rosy the Rascal, who told Scourge how she had an "extra-special smash" for him.[19]

    Super Transformation and Defeat The fight was interrupted when Shadow arrived using Chaos Control. Though he was actually looking for the Special Zone, Sonic asked if he wanted to destroy Scourge, to which Shadow agreed. Metal Sonic arrived later, followed by Silver and Rob, as well as Amy and Rosy. A confused Silver was unable to determine which one was Sonic Prime, and attempted to ask the others as they fought. Because they ignored him, he got angry and impatient and captured them all with his psychic powers. Silver stated that he had come from the future to destroy Sonic, and then proceeded to attack the hedgehog. Rob threatened Silver for an explanation, and Silver stated that during this point in time one of the legendary Freedom Fighters betrays and destroys them, dooming the future. He then stated that only Sonic was remembered to have had that kind of power. However, Scourge jumped in and attacked both of them, claiming that Silver should use his powers to give himself "a less-stupid haircut." Shortly afterwards, Sonic made a proposal to everyone to stop attacking each other and strictly finish off Scourge. But Scourge didn't give up. He rushed to the throne room, followed by Sonic and Shadow. Scourge turned the tables on everyone, claiming he placed an Anarchy Beryl in his throne. This managed to turn Scourge into a stronger, even more evil form: Super Scourge.[20]

    Andthatswhyyousuck Scourge is defeated by Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #196.

    Despite their efforts, the numerous hedgehogs were no match for Super Scourge, who defeated all of them. Super Scourge then proceeded to defeat the combined might of the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Suppression Squad (minus Boomer and Fiona), who had returned to Moebius expecting Scourge to be defeated. While he seemed to be unbeatable, Sonic eventually realized the Anarchy Beryl would have a different (and negative) effect on Scourge to contrast the positive effect the Chaos Emeralds had on him once the transformation ended. Luring Super Scourge away from the others, Sonic managed to trick Scourge into de-transforming. As Sonic speculated, the Anarchy Beryl drained him of what energy he had left in his normal form, leaving him vulnerable. Sonic subsequently defeated Scourge and easily captured him.[21]

    Zone Lockdown While Sonic was taking Scourge to the Zone Cops via the Cosmic Highway, Scourge broke loose and tried to escape, but he and Sonic were then arrested by Zone Cops Zector and Zespio for going through zones during a zone lockdown. The cops then took Sonic and Scourge to see Zonic via a Warp Ring. They arrive in a ruined No Zone and Scourge managed to escape by kicking the others out of the way and attempted to fully destroy the No Zone before going back to Mobius. Sonic and the Zone Cops then meet up with Zonic and they battled Scourge. They quickly captured him thanks to Sonic's skills and Zonic's special Control Collar. Because of Scourge's mutation, he had now become a wild card in the "cosmic scheme of things." Scourge then said that he was "Sonic the Hedgehog at his full potential" before being taken to jail.[22]

    Busting Out of Prison Within Zone Jail, Scourge found himself subjected to Warden Zobotnik's special brand of "aggressive rehabilitation." He became the cellmate of the brutish Smalls the Cat and was soon nicknamed "Snot." His spines were cut short and he was forced to wear the Control Collar which suppressed his super speed and abilities. Helpless, he soon found himself the target of frequent beatings and other abuse from both guards and inmates alike. However, King Maxx made Scourge a deal; so long as the hedgehog didn't attempt to challenge his power within the prison, Maxx's gang wouldn't kill him. All this left Scourge a shadow of his former self; broken and scared, his only acquaintances were Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al, something which further embittered him. Thus, when Fiona got herself and the Destructix arrested to free Scourge, he feared it would invite retribution from King Maxx, and furiously tried to keep away from them, angering the rest of the Destructix who had gotten themselves arrested for his sake. Maxx did attempt to follow through on his threats with his thugs overwhelming Scourge, but he was rescued by Fiona, who told the former king that Scourge belonged to her gang now. She later spoke in private with Scourge, surprised at how far he had fallen; however, she eventually managed to help him get back his confidence and inspired him to turn the Destructix back to his side so that they could escape.[23]

    Eventually, Scourge was taken to Warden Zobotnik's office to talk about his association with the Destructix and got to watch a recording of their arrest. After seeing their strength firsthand, Scourge lied to the Warden that he would not go near them, and went straight to Sergeant Simian and Predator Hawk. After hearing their life stories, he learned the former wanted to work with the strongest and the latter desired challenges for his skills, terms Scourge agreed to as a way of gaining their cooperation.[24]

    Having regained much of his confidence thanks to Fiona and her plan to bust out of jail, Scourge went to get payback from Jeffrey St. Croix while the latter was bullying Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al. Fiona intervened and pinned Scourge to the ground as part of a "show" to remove suspicion from them for the time being, but angered him somewhat for her enthusiastic act. Scourge then set off to recruit Lightning Lynx from a therapy session with Zouge the Bat, and bolstered the spited ninja's anger with the promise of revenge, causing the session to lose control, and was returned to his cell. While in there, he had a very disturbing encounter with Flying Frog, but easily convinced the psycho to be on his side, though he was left feeling that Rosy was better company. That night, Fiona started the escape by unlocking the cell doors and disabling their gang's Control Collars, upon which Scourge immediately spin-dashed Smalls into the ceiling, eager for payback.[25]

    Once Scourge hunted down many of the people who mistreated him before. he had Predator bring Cal and Al to him. As thanks for them being nice to him in jail, Scourge had Simian break their Control Collars and let them loose on a rampage in their robotic, demigod forms. When Fiona told him that their gear was stolen, he gave the Destructix the order to search the Processing Area and that he would back them up (though this was just a cover for him to continue seeking revenge). After Scourge fought his way through numerous prisoners and guards, the warden authorized the use of F.O.E. Inhibitors to take down Al and Cal and told Scourge to surrender. Al and Cal begged Scourge for help, only to be mockingly dismissed as he fled the scene and escaped with the Destructix through a Warp Ring to Moebius. Once in the Grand Forest, Fiona told Scourge Dr. Finitevus had a job for them there, but he dismissed it while changing his clothes, and claimed the Destructix was his gang and that he had big plans for both his world & Sonic's.[26]

    Scourge's plans were never revealed nor got the chance to unfold before the Super Genesis Wave irreversibly rewrote the entire multiverse.[27]

    Personality Since he was an evil alternate version of Sonic the Hedgehog, Scourge had all of Sonic's traits, just darkened and at times, turned on their head. While Sonic enjoyed the company of his friends, Scourge had none, and saw his allies as pawns to help him prove he was the best. In addition, where Sonic often considered his battles as sport, Scourge fought to prove that he was the greatest by introducing his opponents to excruciating pain, and, if given the chance, killing them. However, his arrogance, amplified from Sonic's usual cockiness, made it easier to defeat him, but also quite dangerous and psychotic by nature.

    When he was imprisoned in the No Zone, he was given a collar that suppressed his speed and stamina, and his quills were trimmed. Without these abilities, Scourge was almost helpless. He became nothing more than a common punk, right at the bottom of the convict food chain. During this period, Scourge became constantly fearful and paranoid, a shadow of his former self. But thanks to a pep-talk from Fiona, he started to rediscover his meddle, and as soon as his collar was off, he wasted no time in taking revenge against everyone who bullied him.

    Powers and abilities Scourge vs sonicfreedomq Scourge battles Sonic and the Knothole Freedom Fighters at Freedom HQ, from Sonic the Hedgehog #190.

    Scourge's shares skills near-idential to Sonic Prime's, making him a virtual to the equal to Hero of Mobius. Following his transformation, Scourge seems to have acquired even greater strength and stamina than he had previously, having once single-handedly fought Sonic and Shadow at the same time.[16] Following his transformation, Scourge seemed to acquire much greater strength and stamina than he had previously, as seen with his quick defeat of Locke the Echidna and how he momentarily fought both Sonic and Shadow at the same time. With his newfound strength he was also capable beating his Anti-Freedom Fighter group into submission singlehandedly, forcing them to rebrand as the Suppression Squad. He then took down the big powers of his world and anyone who opposed him, like O'Nux, and eventually conquered it for himself, becoming the king of Moebius. Scourge could also use a Chaos Emerald to perform Chaos Control.

    Scourge shares Sonic's super speed, allowing him to easy keep pace with his counterpart; when they first met, Scourge could easily run circles around Moebius, with Sonic unable to stay more than two seconds ahead of his counterpart at most.[2] He can as well perform Sonic Spin and Spin Dash where he curl into a concussive ball or cutting disk. With these techniques, Scourge can burrow through almost anything given enough speed, such as giant rocks and metal alloys, while dealing massive damage.[6]

    Curiously, similarly to his Prime counterpart, Scourge seems to have some degree of the "Embodiment of Chaos" quality to him, which is what likely allowed him to power his Warp Ring using the Master Emerald despite it being Hexed by Dr. Finitevus, with the echidna scientist himself being surprised on what Scourge was doing with it.

    Transformations Super Scourge Main article: Super Scourge

    Super Scourge Super Scourge, from Sonic the Hedgehog #195.

    Instead of absorbing chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds like most others, Scourge transforms into Super Scourge using the energies from Moebius’ equivalent to them, Anarchy Beryl. While in his super state he is given a significant increase in strength, speed and reflexes. He also gains the standard super form abilities of flight, limitless stamina and virtual invulnerability. However, unlike Super Sonic, who gains a power boost after the transformation is over, Scourge is heavily drained of his stamina upon the transformation ending.

    Relationships Anti-Jules Scourge had a difficult relationship with his father, Anti-Jules Hedgehog. When he was only seven years old, his father contributed greatly to the Great Peace. However, it seems he made little time for his son. While he seems to have some mocking respect for how Anti-Jules "brought everybody together in one big group hug", he also complains that his father was full of empty words, and the peace was nothing but stagnation.

    Scourge told Jules Prime that Anti-Jules is dead, and gleefully implied that he doesn't care and may even have had a hand in it, but as this was said in an attempt to intimidate Jules in a "surprise late-night pummeling", it cannot be known just how true this is. When Jules gave him a lecture over how he "may not care about the loss of [his] Jules", Scourge took the words to heart and left the hut in tears rather than furthering his attack on Jules or Sonic, suggesting that deep down, Scourge regrets the loss of his father and misses his family, but doesn't dare to admit it.

    This may be another reason he dislikes Sonic; because he had a more attentive and caring father.

    Sonic the Hedgehog I know why you hate me. I know... And it's not just the Fiona thing, or that I'm better looking...it's that all it takes is one bad day, and you'd be just like me.'' — Scourge the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog #172 The One Bad Day Scourge says to Sonic to become evil is "one bad day" to him, from Sonic the Hedgehog #172.

    Though Scourge and Sonic the Hedgehog had nothing but hatred for each other, due to their identical abilities they do occasionally find themselves working together, such as when the pair and Shadow battled the sub-boss, Croctobot.

    Scourge thought he figured out why Sonic did not like him: all Sonic needed was one bad day, and he would be just like Scourge. Sonic stated the exact opposite, saying that all Scourge needed was some good qualities and he would be just like Sonic. This gave Scourge a brief moment of self-doubt before Sonic got knocked down by Fiona. As a result, he later decided to leave Mobius to find out the truth about who he was.

    Patch D'Coolette Patch has betrayed Scourge multiple times. He had tried banishing Evil Sonic out of Anti-Mobius in an attempt to take over but failed. Like the other members of the Anti-Freedom Fighters, he clearly despises Scourge, only working with him to better his own survival. He was willing to fall through on Miles' plan to defeat and overthrow Scourge.

    Romance As Sonic's Moebius counterpart, Scourge was very similar to him but lacks a number of his more refined qualities. One of these happened to be a respect for women: while Sonic had multiple relationships with girls, he would nonetheless settle on one girl at a time and treat her with the utmost respect; Scourge always attempted to satisfy his desires by shamelessly going after several females at once. This got him into trouble on several counts, the first ending with his banishment from the Anti-Freedom Fighters after he was caught cheating on Anti-Sally with Anti-Bunnie and Anti-Penelope. Despite impersonating Sonic on Mobius Prime, Scourge could not overcome this habit, and made blatant advances on Bunnie Rabbot, Amy Rose, Rouge the Bat, and Fiona Fox.

    In that last, however, Scourge found the first female partner he has ever come close to having genuine feelings for. The way he put it, most of the girls he liked on Anti-Mobius were of a dark nature from the very beginning, but Fiona chose to be so, which he found appealing. He demonstrated this added measure of attraction by staying loyal to her even when it would have been more profitable to save his own skin, and their relationship was a dark mirror to that of Sonic and Sally's - though of course with the differences that came with their personalities. Scourge, upon returning to his old dimension and invading his home world, announced he made Fiona his Queen. Although she fled from the battle before Scourge was captured, Fiona returned to break Scourge out of prison. She claimed that she ran to get help from the Destructix.

    Scourge was irritated by Fiona's perceived desertion, but he was more concerned that he would get into trouble with other convicts for trying to form a gang. He had been close to having his ego broken, but Fiona managed to cheer him back up into being villainous, and then helped break him out of prison. It's not verified that they are back together already but it's quite likely. Due to the cancellation of the Archie continuity, Scourge's true fate is unknown.

    Keys: Henchman robot

    Orbot (オーボット Ōbotto?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a robot built by Dr. Eggman. One of Eggman's aide robots,[3] Orbot mainly assists the doctor in his schemes for world domination and makes sure his plans are carried out correctly, with his partner Cubot working alongside him to perform various duties.[4]

    Serious and intelligent, Orbot is loyal to Eggman. However, he does not like him very much, and his spiteful sarcasm sometimes provokes the anger of his creator.[3][4]

    Appearance Orbot is a diminutive robot with a round head composed of a semi-spherical cap with a smaller black semi-sphere under it for a lower face. His lower face can separate to reveal a cover, representing his mouth, and he has two gray-framed and pupil-less eyes. He has also a ball joint for a chest and red gloves for hands. His arms and back consist each of two thin bars that are joined by a ball joint. His lower body is a small semi-sphere with a gray inside and a ball joint connecting it to his back.

    Orbot has a red head cap and light blue eyes and mouth, while the rest of him is black and gray with a few red joints.

    History Past Created by Dr. Eggman just to kill some time,[5] Orbot was later given the purpose of aiding his creator with his various schemes and waiting on him hand and foot.[3][4]

    Sonic Colors Orbot hunting Wisp Orbot and Cubot hunting for Wisps, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    In the Wii version of Sonic Colors, Orbot and his partner Cubot assisted Dr. Eggman in his scheme to enslave the world with a mind control cannon by capturing the Wisps from their planets in Egg Planet Park and harvesting their Hyper-go-on. Before the opening day of the amusement, Orbot and Cubot were out trying to capture Yacker and a Cyan Wisp, until Sonic saved the Wisps.

    Later, Orbot and Cubot presented the Wisps they had caught to Eggman and were just sent out to get more when Sonic had arrived. Orbot would then follow Eggman when the doctor unleashed the Rotatatron. After Sonic destroyed the Rotatatron, Orbot and Cubot were sent to clean up the robot's remains. Though they could not find Rotatatron's arm, Orbot was not concerned, unaware that it had gotten stuck in the mind-control cannon. Back at Eggman's headquarters, Orbot was ordered by Eggman to give Cubot a new voice chip to get rid of his cowboy accent. However, Orbot got the wrong chip and gave Cubot a pirate accent, resulting in him hurrying out on Eggman's orders to fix it.

    Orbot returns voice Orbot giving Cubot his old voice back, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    When the mind control cannon was ready, Orbot watched Eggman activate it, only for it to backfire due to the Rotatatron's arm being stuck in it. As Orbot then slapped Cubot's back in praise for being more "attentive" when Cubot noted Eggman's constant failures, he gave Cubot his old voice back. When Eggman then faced Sonic in his Nega-Wisp Armor and was defeated, Orbot was pulled with Eggman and Cubot into a temporary black hole created by the mind-control cannon. Now stranded in outer space, Orbot and Cubot began helping Eggman get back to civilization by pushing him in his trashed Egg Mobile through space.

    Sonic X Shadow Generations Sonic Generations OrbotCubotGenerations Orbot, Cubot and Eggman having discovered the Time Eater, from the console/PC version of Sonic Generations.

    In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, a short while after the Wisp incident, Orbot and Cubot were still pushing Dr. Eggman in his damaged Egg Mobile through outer space when they encountered the primordial form of the Time Eater. As Eggman decided to harness the creature's powers for his own needs, he had Orbot and Cubot push him into the Time Eater, leaving the robot duo behind in space.

    Shadow Generations In Shadow Generations, it is revealed that Orbot and Cubot were also transported to the White Space after being left behind by Dr. Eggman and the Time Eater. Here, they found what looked to be an unfinished rocket and planned on completing it to escape. Soon after, they are found by Shadow, who the two request to help find the missing parts to complete the rocket. However, once Shadow does find all the missing parts and the two finish the rocket, it turned out that it was actually a rocket-shaped cuckoo clock the whole time, dismaying the two.

    Sonic Lost World In the Wii U version and PC version of Sonic Lost World, Orbot and Cubot were working for Dr. Eggman with his newest scheme to conquer the world with the help of the Deadly Six, whom Eggman had forced into serving him with the Cacophonic Conch. After kidnapping a capsule full of Animals for Badniks, Orbot was flying through the sky with Eggman and Cubot in the Egg Mobile, where they were pursued by Sonic and Tails in the Tornado until Eggman shot the Tornado down.

    Orbot at controls Orbot at the Extractor's controls, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

    Returning to Eggman's factory on the Lost Hex, Orbot worked with Cubot on making Badniks. Later on, when Eggman tested his Extractor, Orbot operated the controls on the device but was ordered to shut it down before it could destroy the earth. Later in Desert Ruins, Orbot and Cubot were with Eggman as he punished the Deadly Six with the Cacophonic Conch when Sonic arrived and knocked the conch away. As the Deadly Six then rebelled against and attacked everyone present with the Badniks, Orbot caught Cubot's detached head, before escaping with Sonic, Tails, and Eggman.

    After escaping the Deadly Six, Orbot left Sonic and Tails with Cubot and Eggman. When they learned the Deadly Six were using the Extractor to destroy the earth, however, Cubot, Eggman, and Orbot came back and teamed up with Sonic and Tails to stop the Deadly Six before they could destroy the world. Along the group's travels, Orbot served as the carrier for Cubot's head. After Tails got captured by the Deadly Six, Orbot asked Sonic if he could become his sidekick (much to the annoyance of Eggman, who stated that he is standing right next to Orbot), but was declined. Later, Orbot was forced to have Cubot's head attached to his body by Eggman.

    Eggman located Orbot and Cubot finding Eggman after his fall, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

    At Lava Mountain, the group was attacked by Zazz and Zomom, who made Orbot and Cubot fall into a lava pit. However, they were saved by Eggman, who faked his death by falling into the same lava pit and then flew them to safety with a jetpack. After Eggman then shut down the Extractor and charged his mech, Orbot and Cubot joined Eggman in his mech as the doctor faced Sonic and Tails but was defeated. After that, Orbot and Cubot followed Eggman to earth when he fell from the Lost Hex and found him in a hole, though with half of his mustache gone. Orbot convinced Cubot to wait to tell Eggman about his mustache until he separated them, but Eggman overheard them, angrily questioning about his mustache, scaring Orbot and Cubot away.

    Sonic Forces SFRoI P1 Orbot working with Eggman, from Sonic Forces: Rise of Infinite.

    In Sonic Forces, Orbot reported the presence of mysterious energy readings just outside Eggman's hideout, which Eggman discovered was the Phantom Ruby. While studying it, Orbot also aided in the naming of the gem (or, rather, he shot down Cubot's name suggestions).[6] Later on, when Eggman's base was attacked by Omega, Orbot proceeded to inform the evil scientist himself. However, Eggman angrily snapped at Orbot as he already knew and set out to deal with the problem.[7]

    Months later, Orbot was hard at work in Eggman's base. While Eggman was ranting about his hatred for Sonic and how his latest weapon would not only defeat Sonic but also ensure his conquest of the world, Orbot admitted that Eggman actually meant it this time. Orbot's hunch soon proved to be correct, as Eggman soon after conquered over 99% of the world.

    Six months later, Orbot witnessed the destruction of the Death Egg alongside Cubot, Eggman, and Infinite, and attempted to flee with Eggman when the latter suggested they do a "tactical retreat" to cut down on their losses.

    Back in Metropolis, Orbot left the scene when Infinite opened a portal into Null Space, which sucked Sonic and the Avatar into it. After Sonic and the Avatar escaped Null Space, however, Orbot was the first to notice Sonic's return and attempted to warn Eggman, with Eggman realizing Sonic's escape when turning to face Orbot. Orbot soon after fled again with his master, although not before smacking Cubot, who was lagging behind.

    Team Sonic Racing OrbotTeamSonicRacing Orbot stationed onboard the Final Fortress, from Team Sonic Racing.

    In Team Sonic Racing, Orbot and Cubot were stationed at Dr. Eggman's home base, the Final Fortress, while the doctor took part in the Grand Prix organized by Dodon Pa with his Eggpawns. There, Orbot and Cubot would perform their list of duties while staying in contact with Eggman via radio.

    When Eggman lost one of the races and Sonic asked how many times the doctor had lost by now, Orbot tried to give the exact number until he was silenced by Eggman. When Eggman later complained about his car, Orbot mocked Eggman by stating that it was typical that the creators blamed their creations for everything, prompting an annoyed Eggman to tell Orbot to zip it. Orbot later proved to have learned his lesson when he remained silent when Eggman asked him a rhetorical question that also doubled as a threat. Later, when Cubot asked Orbot if it was weird that he felt jealous of seeing Eggman with other robots, Orbot snarked by replying it was very weird since Eggman cannot stand him. When Eggman later bragged about his plan, Orbot revealed he had prepared a list of ways for Eggman's plan to fail, prompting Eggman to chide him. When Cubot later made a snide comment at Eggman over the radio, Orbot frustratingly asked him why he kept holding the mic button down, to which Cubot explained that he liked buttons.

    After Dr. Eggman, Zavok and Metal Sonic brought a kidnapped Dodona Pa onboard the Final Fortress, the villains forced Sonic and his allies to race them so that Dodon Pa could capture the teams' Ultimate Team Energy and use it to finish his Ultimate Energy Engine. After Eggman personally took part in one of the races and remarked that he made a fool of himself out on the track, Orbot tried to comfort him by saying that he also made a fool of himself in his own base. After Dodon Pa finished the engine and Eggman stole it, Orbot remarked that Eggman's cooperation with Dodon Pa did not last very long. Later, Orbot warned Eggman that his Death Egg had gone crazy and was heading straight for the energy core. Orbot, Eggman, and Cubot thus evacuated from the Final Fortress before the fortress crashed due to the destruction of the energy core.

    Sonic Frontiers As Eggman was plotting taking over the Ancients technology on Kronos Island, he’s contacted by Orbot and Cubot who report that Sonic and his friends destroyed D3-COY much to Eggman’s dismay causing him to accelerate his plans.

    In Sonic Runners, Orbot assisted Dr. Eggman during various operations as Eggman concocted one plot after another to achieve world domination. Orbot would also as a commander of Eggman's Badnik hordes during their hunts for Animals to use as power sources. Whenever encountering Team Sonic however, Orbot was met with failure, leaving him to be scolded by Eggman.

    During Eggman's endgame, Orbot set up a trap to stop Team Sonic when they inevitably arrived. However, thanks to Cubot, the team got past Orbot's defenses. Admitting defeat, Orbot retreated from Team Sonic when they arrived.

    Mario & Sonic series Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games In the Wii version and Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Orbot appears as a non-playable character.

    In the Wii version of the game, Orbot serves as the referee in a number of different events. He also appears in London Party where he serves various roles. One of these roles includes him appearing as a "?" mark effect with Cubot to copy one of the player's stickers onto another empty space on their sheet. He and Cubot also appear to provide dialogue for Metal Sonic when the player meets him on the streets of London in London Party since Metal Sonic cannot speak himself. In addition, Orbot and Cubot play a role in the "Orbot & Cubot Tag!" Bonus Game in London Party, where they will chase after the players and try to catch them in cages.

In these events, he will measure the distance achieved if the player performs a successful jump. He also makes an appearance in the game's story mode. During the events of the story, Orbot came to London with Dr. Eggman, Cubot, and Metal Sonic. When Eggman beat Metal Sonic during one of their training sessions, Orbot and Cubot suggested that Eggman could have programmed Metal Sonic to lose to him. Eggman then suggested that Orbot and Cubot tested out Metal Sonic themselves, much to their horror until Eggman told them that he was joking and needed a better idea. Spotting Waluigi on the monitors, the group headed out to get him to test Metal Sonic out. Orbot and Cubot tried to convince Waluigi to face Metal Sonic, but Waluigi refused. Before Waluigi could leave though, Eggman showed up and scolded Orbot and Cubot before convincing Waluigi to challenge Metal Sonic. After Metal Sonic won, the group left to further improve Metal Sonic. Later, Orbot and Cubot tried convincing Wario to challenge Metal Sonic. Orbot tried to convince Wario the same way Eggman convinced Waluigi, but it failed to have an impact on Wario. Instead, Wario offers to take Metal Sonic on if Orbot and Cubot would come and work for him if he won. Eggman immediately showed up afterward and accepted Wario's terms, though he had to give him something if he lost. Fortunately, Orbot and Cubot got to stay with Eggman after Metal Sonic won, and Eggman received the Fog urn from Wario as his reward. Returning to their base, Orbot and Cubot saw Eggman open the Fog urn a bit, causing it to release some fog. Orbot and Cubot then noticed Sonic emerge from the fog. After Eggman defeated Sonic, he explained to Orbot and Cubot that this Sonic was a imposter made of fog. He also explained to them the history of the Fog urn, which contained the magical Phantasmal Fog that Eggman planned to use later but had to shelf for now in favor of focusing on the Olympics. When Orbot and Cubot accused Eggman of not training for the games though, Eggman threatened to change their voice chips, prompting the two robots to run from Eggman as he began chasing them.

    In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, a badge of Orbot can also be obtained from the badge machine.

    Personality ShadowGenerationsOrbotBio Orbot's profile, from Shadow Generations.

    Orbot is a highly intelligent, serious, and level-headed robot.[3] From the start, he has shown an eye for efficiency, taking close notice of Eggman's flaws or awry plans. He is as well rather sassy and shows a sense of spiteful sarcasm,[3] voicing facts and opinions as he sees fit, whether it is offering unsolicited, withering assessments of his master or asking a mourning Sonic if he could become the hedgehog's sidekick. As such, he comes off as straightforward, insensitive, and brash. However, he does not mean anything by it, and behaves mainly as such to give constructive criticism and approach subjects matter-of-factly.[8]

    Orbot's personality is, in comparison to his supposed prototype, jaded and refined, giving him a wide spectrum of emotions and a polished demeanor, which goes along with his smooth surface. As such, while sassy and sarcastic like his predecessor, he is more legal in his approaches and goes about them in a more diplomatic way. He, therefore, speaks calmly and formally, yet without a filter, and is more honest to a fault than outright rude.

    LazyOrbot Orbot slacking off, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Orbot is a devoted follower, although not necessarily out of personal preference.[3][4] Also, while he takes his job seriously,[3] he tends to slack off when possible and cut corners when working. When slacking off, Orbot has a habit of resting on his side and holding his head up with one arm.

    In the IDW Comics, Orbot acts similar to how he does in the games. Unlike many of Eggman's robots, he is not a mindless drone and possesses both a personality and emotions of his own. Orbot is one who looks at the bright side of things, especially for the sake of his boss when he is in a foul mood.[9] He is also shown to be lazy.[10][11]

    Orbot possesses a sense of spiteful sarcasm, and likes to rebuke Eggman about his previous failures, having once asked Eggman if he wanted to review "a list of eldritch creatures [he'd] like to resurrect and then lose control over", which is a clear reference to the doctor's past failures in this field.[12]

    By his own admission, Orbot appears to suffer from anxiety. As such, he needs to take some time off for reassuring activities, such as arranging cables in alphabetical order.[13] He is also smarter and more perceptive than Cubot, whom he has to explain some things to.

    Powers and abilities Cubot compact form Orbot's retracted state, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Orbot has the ability to retract his body into a travel-sized sphere. While in this state, he is fully capable of movements.

    Orbot is able to levitate and can move freely through midair. However, he is not able to levitate any higher than a few meters above the ground and he requires a solid surface below him to float, meaning he will fall down if the footing below him is removed.[14] He also has special skills in data analysis and cleaning.[3]

    Orbot has the ability to retract his body into a travel-sized sphere. While in this state, he is fully capable of movements. He is also able to levitate and can move freely through midair.[12]

    Relationships Dr. Eggman Orbot is the aide robot and number one flunky of his creator/boss, Dr. Eggman.[15] Although Orbot obeys Eggman faithfully and shows concerns about his well-being, he really does not like him very much.[4] While Orbot generally assists Eggman's with his more delicate operations, he often makes spiteful sarcastic remarks for pointing out general flaws in Eggman's plans which sometimes angers the doctor,[3] prompting a quick smack in return.

    Orbot is constantly bothered by Eggman's attitude and receives worse treatment from him than from enemies like Sonic and Tails.[16] As such, he agrees that Eggman is a "total bonehead". However, he is still capable of acknowledging Eggman; during the Infinite incident, he noted that his master meant business after hearing him gloat about his impending success in conquering the world and defeating Sonic.

    Orbot will occasionally laugh at Eggman's misfortune and would early on insult him openly with sarcastic remarks. Additionally, he considers working for Sonic a better alternative than working for Eggman. Regardless of his dislike of Eggman, Orbot is very much afraid of his master's wrath and will try to not overstep his boundaries.

    As one of his aide robots, Orbot obediently follows Eggman's every order, although he does so more out of fear of Eggman's wrath.[17] In addition, while Orbot is loyal towards Dr. Eggman and waits on him hand and foot, he does not like him very much, especially when the doctor preys upon his emotions and verbally abuses him with threats of dismantling him.[18] Orbot also serves Eggman as one of his head assistants on some of his projects, although he mainly cooks, cleans and make coffee for him.[17][19][20] Orbot also sometimes likes to spite Eggman with sarcasm about his past failures.[18]

    During the time Eggman suffered from amnesia and became a reformed handyman, Orbot was surprised by Eggman's kindness and compassion, and was unsure if he wanted the real Dr. Eggman back. He likewise expressed disappointment when Eggman got back to normal.[18]

    Cubot Orbot and Cubot - Sonic Colors Intro 2 Orbot and Cubot, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Cubot is Orbot's partner in the service of Dr. Eggman and the two are an inseparable pair. By comparison, Orbot is the straight man to Cubot's comic relief.[3]

    In general, Orbot is not fond of Cubot's idiocy and considers him a dimwit, having expressed what a "nightmare" it was for him having Cubot's head attached to him. When they work together, Orbot usually lets Cubot do all the work while he slacks off. Also, while having to carry around Cubot's head in Sonic Lost World, he would mostly fumble around with it for his amusement. Despite all this, however, Orbot has a good relationship with Cubot and he considers him a close friend of his. Whenever Cubot regains his normal voice, Orbot will be very happy about his recovery, and when he once believed Cubot to be destroyed, Orbot showed genuine sadness over it.

    Orbot is not above beating up Cubot for any failures, as shortly before retreating with Eggman from Metropolis during the War to Take Back the Planet, he was seen approaching Cubot and smacking him upside the head when he fell behind.

    Due to Cubot being the less bright member of this pair, Orbot often has to explain certain things to him or keep him from revealing sensitive information to their enemies.[21]

    Sonic the Hedgehog Orbot wants to be Sonic's sidekick Orbot asking Sonic if he can become his sidekick, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

    Though they are supposed to be enemies, Orbot does not really hold any personal hostility towards Sonic the Hedgehog besides his obligation to stop him. In fact, Orbot admires Sonic for his devotion to his friends, which makes him wish to work for him;[8] after Tails was captured by the Deadly Six, Orbot asked Sonic if he could become his sidekick in the case he could not save Tails as he considered working for him a better alternative than Eggman.[8]

    Keys: Henchman robot

    Cubot (キューボット Kyūbotto?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a robot built by Dr. Eggman. One of Eggman's aide robots,[1] Cubot mainly assists the doctor in his schemes for world domination, with his partner Orbot working alongside him to perform various duties.[2]

    While loyal to Eggman, Cubot is dim-witted and lazy. He also has a faulty voice chip which causes him to randomly switch between different accents and personalities for a moment,[1] though after the slapping by Orbot during the Wisp incident, Cubot seems to gain full control of it and can change it the way he wants.[3]

    Appearance Cubot is a diminutive robot, but slightly taller than Orbot. He has a black square head with a flattened, yet wider yellow square cap on top and a larger black square on the bottom, the latter of which resembles a jaw. His jaw can separate from his head to reveal a light blue cover resembling a mouth. He also has two gray-framed and pupil-less light blue eyes. His chest consists of a smaller yellow cube, and he has yellow gloves for hands. His arms and back consist each of two thin gray bars that are joined by a black and yellow ball joint. His lower body is a black open cube with a gray inside and a ball joint connecting it to his back.

    History Past Created by Dr. Eggman to kill some time,[4] Cubot was later given the purpose of aiding his creator in his various schemes.[1]

    Sonic Colors In the Wii version of Sonic Colors, Cubot and Orbot assisted Dr. Eggman in his scheme to enslave the world with a mind control cannon by capturing the Wisps from their planets in Egg Planet Park and harvesting their Hyper-go-on. At some point prior, Cubot received a new voice chip to replace his old voice but occasionally got stuck with a cowboy accent.

    Cubot on the hunt Cubot out hunting for Wisps, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Before the opening day of the amusement, Cubot and Orbot were out trying to capture Yacker and a Cyan Wisp until Sonic the Hedgehog arrived and saved the Wisps. Later, Orbot and Cubot presented the Wisps they had caught to Eggman and were just sent out to get more when Sonic arrived. After the Rotatatron had then been released and destroyed, Cubot and Orbot were sent to clean up the robot's remains. Though they were unable to find Rotatatron's arm, Cubot was unconcerned, not aware it had been jammed into Eggman's mind-control cannon.

    Following that, Cubot continued working on his voice, but without much luck. When the mind control cannon later was ready, Cubot watched Eggman activate it, only for it to backfire due to the Rotatatron's arm being stuck in it. As Eggman was in denial of what was happening, Cubot remarked that Sonic always foiled his plans. Cubot was then praised by Orbot for being attentive by getting a slap on the back, which gave Cubot his original voice back. When Eggman then faced Sonic in his Nega-Wisp Armor and was defeated, Cubot was pulled with Eggman and Orbot into a temporary black hole created by the mind-control cannon. Now stranded in outer space, Cubot and Orbot began helping Eggman get back to civilization by pushing him in his trashed Egg Mobile through space while Cubot continued to talk endlessly about a random number of subjects.

    Sonic X Shadow Generations Sonic Generations OrbotCubotGenerations Cubot and Orbot with Dr. Eggman when they discovered the Time Eater, from the console/PC version of Sonic Generations.

    In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations and its Sonic X Shadow Generations remaster, a short while after the destruction of Egg Planet Park, Cubot and Orbot were still pushing Dr. Eggman in his damaged Egg Mobile through outer space when they encountered the primordial form of the Time Eater. As Eggman decided to harness the creature's powers for his own needs, he had Orbot and Cubot push him into the Time Eater, leaving the robot duo behind in space.

    Shadow Generations In Shadow Generations, it is revealed that Cubot and Orbot were also transported to the White Space after being left behind by Dr. Eggman and the Time Eater. Here, they found what looked to be an unfinished rocket and planned on completing it to escape. Soon after, they are found by Shadow, who the two request to help find the missing parts to complete the rocket. However, once Shadow does find all the missing parts and the two finish the rocket, it turned out that it was actually a rocket-shaped cuckoo clock the whole time, dismaying the two.

    Sonic Lost World In the Wii U version and PC version of Sonic Lost World, Cubot and Orbot were working for Dr. Eggman with his newest scheme to conquer the world with the help of the Deadly Six, who Eggman had forced into serving him with the Cacophonic Conch. After kidnapping a capsule full of Animals for Badniks, Cubot was flying through the sky with Eggman and Orbot in the Egg Mobile, where they were pursued by Sonic and Tails in the Tornado until Eggman shot the Tornado down.

    SLW JND Robot Numskulls Cubot's decapitated head being caught by Orbot, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

    Returning to Eggman's factory on the Lost Hex, Cubot worked with Orbot on making Badniks. Later on, when Eggman tested his Extractor, Cubot accidentally, but delightfully, drank a portion of the harvested energy, until Eggman shut the machine down as the Extractor could destroy the earth. Later in Desert Ruins, Cubot and Orbot were with Eggman as he punished the Deadly Six for their failures with the Cacophonic Conch when Sonic arrived and knocked the conch away. As the Deadly Six then rebelled against and attacked everyone present with Badniks, Cubot got his body destroyed, leaving only his head functional. Fortunately, Cubot's head was caught by Orbot, and they soon after escaped with Sonic, Tails, and Eggman.

    With Orbot serving as his carrier, Cubot left with Orbot and Eggman after they and Sonic and Tails escaped the Deadly Six. When they learned the Deadly Six were using the Extractor to destroy the earth, however, Cubot, Eggman, and Orbot came back and teamed up with Sonic and Tails to stop the Deadly Six before they could destroy the world. Along the way, Cubot briefly got the body of a Crabmeat from Tails, but got mean urges from being attached to a battle bot and nearly killed Tails. When the group got to Sky Road, Cubot got his head attached to Orbot's body by Eggman.

    Eggman located Cubot and Orbot finding Dr. Eggman after his fall, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

    At Lava Mountain, the group was attacked by Zazz and Zomom, who made Cubot and Orbot fall into a lava pit. However, they were saved by Eggman, who faked his death by falling into the same lava pit and then flew them to safety with a jetpack. After Eggman then shut down the Extractor and charged his mech, Cubot and Orbot joined Eggman in his mech as the doctor faced Sonic and Tails but was defeated. After that, Cubot and Orbot followed Eggman to earth when he fell from the Lost Hex where they found him in a hole, though with half of his mustache gone. Cubot was convinced by Orbot to wait to tell Eggman about his mustache until he separated them, but Eggman overheard them, scaring Cubot and Orbot away.

    Sonic Forces In Sonic Forces, Cubot was cleaning up Dr. Eggman's newest secret lab while the doctor was attempting to design new robots. Eventually, however, Eggman discovered the Phantom Ruby outside his lab. As Eggman sought a name for the gem while studying it, Cubot came up with several suggestions, all of which were shut down by Orbot.[5]

    Setback Cubot showing Eggman the destruction of the Death Egg, from Sonic Forces.

    Months later, Cubot was cleaning the tube containing Eggman's so-called greatest weapon to date. While Eggman was ranting about his hatred for Sonic and how his weapon would not only defeat Sonic, but also ensure his conquest of the world, Cubot got pushed aside by the doctor but agreed nonetheless with Orbot that Eggman actually meant it this time. Orbot's hunch soon proved to be correct, as Eggman soon after conquered over 99% of the world.

    Six months later, Cubot showed the destruction of the Death Egg to Orbot, Eggman, and Infinite, and attempted to flee with Eggman when the latter suggested they do a "tactical retreat" to cut down on their losses.

    Back in Metropolis, Cubot left the scene when Infinite opened a portal into Null Space, which sucked Sonic and the Avatar into it. Cubot soon after helped Eggman until he and Eggman's gang discovered that Sonic and the Avatar had escaped Null Space. As Eggman and his henchmen fled the scene, Cubot fell behind when he tried listening to Sonic's conversation with the Avatar, prompting Orbot to smack him on the head.

    Team Sonic Racing CubotTeamSonicRacing Cubot going over his list of duties, from Team Sonic Racing.

    In Team Sonic Racing, Cubot and Orbot were stationed at Dr. Eggman's home base, the Final Fortress, while the doctor took part in the Grand Prix organized by Dodon Pa with his Eggpawns. There, Cubot and Orbot would perform their list of duties while staying in contact with Eggman via radio.

    While in contact with Eggman, Cubot took one of Eggman's figures of speech literally, prompting Eggman to call him a "special kind of idiot", which Cubot moronically took as a compliment. Later, Cubot complained to Orbot about how Eggman chose to race with his Eggpawns instead of them. However, Orbot reminded him of the duties they had to perform, which Cubot stupidly read backways in spite of his illiteracy. Later, Cubot confided in Orbot that he felt jealous seeing Eggman hanging out with other robots, to which Orbot poked fun at him by saying he found it odd since Eggman could not stand him. When Orbot later tried presenting his list of ways Eggman's latest plan could fail, Cubot helped remind Orbot that they should not make such lists because they make Eggman angry. When Eggman later invited Zavok onto Team Eggman, Cubot snidely replied over the microphone that Zavok should be prepared for losing, making Eggman angry. When Orbot asked him why he held the mic button down when he said that, Cubot replied that he likes buttons.

    After Dr. Eggman, Zavok, and Metal Sonic brought a kidnapped Dodona Pa onboard the Final Fortress, the villains forced Sonic and his allies to race them so that Dodon Pa could capture the teams' Ultimate Team Energy and use it to finish his Ultimate Energy Engine. A little while afterward, Cubot and Orbot warned Eggman that his Death Egg had gone crazy and was heading straight for the energy core. Cubot, Eggman, and Orbot thus evacuated from the Final Fortress before the fortress crashed due to the destruction of the energy core.

    Other game appearances Sonic Runners Ui tex event 0011 Cubot, from Sonic Runners.

    In Sonic Runners, Cubot assisted Dr. Eggman during various operations as Eggman concocted one plot after another to achieve world domination. While Cubot was usually Eggman's second choice next to Orbot, he would occasionally be assigned to collect Animals with the Badniks to use as power sources. Other times, he was relegated to heavy lifting. More often than not though, Cubot got tricked by Team Sonic into treating the team as his friends. This allowed Team Sonic to throw wrenches into many of Eggman's plots, prompting Eggman to scold Cubot.

    When Eggman began his endgame, Cubot had had enough of Eggman's callous treatment and decided to go on strike. In a further act of defiance, Cubot let Team Sonic know of a trap Orbot had set up for them when they arrived at Eggman's HQ to stop his final plan.

    In the Wii version of the game, Cubot serves as the referee in a number of different events. He also appears in London Party where he serves various roles. One of these roles includes him appearing as a "?" mark effect with Orbot to copy one of the player's stickers onto another empty space on their sheet. He and Orbot also appear to provide dialogue for Metal Sonic when the player meets him on the streets of London in London Party Mode and speaks to him (since Metal Sonic cannot speak himself). In addition, Cubot and Orbot play a role in the "Orbot & Cubot Tag!" bonus game in London Party Mode, where they will chase after the players and try to catch them in cages.

    In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, Cubot appears in the Long Jump and Triple Jump events as the referee. In these events, he will indicate if the player performs a foul by crossing the takeoff line or not. He also makes an appearance in the game's story mode. During the events of the story, Cubot came to London with Dr. Eggman, Orbot, and Metal Sonic. When Eggman beat Metal Sonic during one of their training sessions, Cubot and Orbot suggested that Eggman could have programmed Metal Sonic to lose to him. Eggman then suggested that Cubot and Orbot tested out Metal Sonic themselves, much to their horror until Eggman told them that he was joking and needed a better idea. Spotting Waluigi on the monitors, the group headed out to get him to test Metal Sonic out. Cubot and Orbot tried to convince Waluigi to face Metal Sonic, but Waluigi refused. Before Waluigi could leave though, Eggman showed up and scolded Cubot and Orbot before convincing Waluigi to challenge Metal Sonic. After Metal Sonic won, the group left to further improve Metal Sonic. Later, Cubot and Orbot tried convincing Wario to challenge Metal Sonic using Eggman's method of convincing but failed. Instead, Wario offers to take Metal Sonic on if Cubot and Orbot would come and work for him if he won. Eggman immediately showed up afterward and accepted Wario's terms, though he had to give him something if he lost. Fortunately, Cubot and Orbot got to stay with Eggman after Metal Sonic won, and Eggman received the Fog urn from Wario as his reward. Returning to their base, Cubot and Orbot saw Eggman open the Fog urn a bit, causing it to release some fog. Cubot and Orbot then noticed Sonic emerge from the fog. After Eggman defeated Sonic, he explained to Cubot and Orbot that this Sonic was a imposter made of fog. He also explained to them the history of the Fog urn, which contained the magical Phantasmal Fog that Eggman planned to use later, but had to shelf for now in favor of focusing on the Olympics. When Cubot and Orbot accused Eggman of not training for the games though, Eggman threatened to change their voice chips, prompting the two robots to run from Eggman as he began chasing them.

    In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, a badge of Cubot can also be obtained from the badge machine.

    Personality ShadowGenerationsCubotBio Cubot's profile, from Shadow Generations.

    Cubot is a good-hearted and easygoing robot.[1] Even though he is supposed to be built with the same CPU as Orbot's, he is somehow dim-witted and somewhat slow on the uptake;[1] he has no concept of sarcasm (as evidenced by his reaction when Eggman flippantly told them, after Orbot asked if he wanted the remaining Wisps, that Eggman actually wanted them to go fetch him "a cheeseburger and a shake") and even when things are explained specifically to him, it takes a while for him to catch on.

    While still a competent henchman, Cubot is talkative, not very serious, and generally annoying to those around him. Also, despite his devotion to his master, Cubot is lazy.[2] Unwilling to take action until he is scolded, he actively tries to get out of doing any work.[1][2]

    Cubot's personality can be affected by whatever accent his voice chip is currently set to, causing him to adopt mannerisms and behavior associated with his accent.[1]

    Unlike many of Eggman's robots, he is not a mindless drone and possesses both a personality and emotions of his own. Described as a "dumb bot", Cubot is not especially bright.[6] As such, he tends to do rather dim-witted things, like getting easily rattled by terrifying subjects, playing with an enemy, or making himself a prime target for abuse in an attempt to help.[6][7][8] He similarly also easily falls victim to reverse psychology.[9]

    Powers and abilities Cubots compact form Cubot's retracted state, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Cubot has the ability to retract his body into a travel-sized cube. While in this state, he is fully capable of movement. While uncurled, he is also able to twist his neck 360 degrees.

    Cubot is able to levitate and can move freely through midair. However, he is not able to levitate any higher than a few meters above the ground. He is also capable of projecting holographic videos and displays from his eyes.[10] As shown during the Lost Hex incident, his head also has the ability to operate independently from the rest of his body. Most notably however, Cubot possesses a special skill that lets him change both his personality and accent depending on the voice chip currently inserted into him,[1] although certain types of physical contact can yield the same effect.

    Cubot has the ability to retract his body into a travel-sized cube.[11] He is also able to levitate and can move freely through midair.[6] He also has skills in cleaning.[12]

    Relationships Dr. Eggman In contrast to Orbot's dislike of their creator and boss, Cubot likes and admires Dr. Eggman.[1][2] Despite getting nothing but mistreatment and abuse from Eggman in return for his services, Cubot has remained genuinely faithful and honest towards him. However, it has been hinted that Cubot has a hard time grasping the fact that Eggman is his boss, prompting him to forget who he is talking to.[13]

    Despite his preference for Eggman, Cubot's laziness puts him at odds with his master. As such, Cubot often ends up upsetting Eggman.[1] Similarly, Cubot constantly annoys Eggman with his idiocy and voice chip issues. Also, while he might not understand the consequences of upsetting Eggman, Cubot is very much fearful of his wrath.

    One of his aide robots, Cubot obediently follows Eggman's every order, although he is quite fearful of Eggman's wrath.[14] In addition, while Orbot is loyal towards Dr. Eggman and waits on him hand and foot, the doctor tends to prey upon his emotions and verbally abuses him with threats of dismantling him.[8] Cubot also serves Eggman as one of his head assistants on some of his projects, although he mainly cooks, cleans and make coffee for him.[14][9][15]

    Orbot Orbot and Cubot - Sonic Colors Intro 2 Orbot and Cubot, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors.

    Orbot is Cubot's partner in the service of Dr. Eggman and the two are an inseparable pair. By comparison, Cubot is the comic relief to Orbot's straight man.[1]

    Like Eggman, Cubot's dimwitted behavior does not sit well with Orbot, who mentioned during the Lost Hex incident that having Cubot attached to his body during the escapade was like a nightmare. When the duo work together, Orbot usually lets Cubot do all the work while he slacks off, normally without Cubot noticing it. During his time as a disembodied head, Cubot would also be fumbled around by Orbot for his amusement. Despite everything he has to put up with him though, Cubot is not bothered by Orbot at all and has often referred to him as a close friend of his, a feeling which Orbot ultimately reciprocates.

    Due to Cubot being the less bright member of this pair, Orbot often has to explain certain things to him or keep him from revealing sensitive information to their enemies.[9]

When Snively betrayed Eggman and tried to seize control of the Eggman Empire, Cubot and Orbot were activated to help Eggman capture Snively. After the mission was completed, Cubot and Orbot were permanently instated as Eggman's foremost assistants.

    Following the events of Worlds Collide, Cubot and his history became nearly indistinguishable from his game counterpart.

    Keys: Harem member, Tangle the Lemur.

    Tangle the Lemur[5] (タングル・ザ・リーマー[6][7] Tanguru za Rīmā?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur from Spiral Hill Village and a member of the current generation of Diamond Cutters. She first became acquainted with Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends during the fallout after the Eggman War, having sprung into action to defend her village from one of the Badnik hordes terrorizing settlements across the world. Since then, she has been a recurring participant in the adventures of Sonic and his allies.

    Appearance Described as pretty,[12] Tangle is a slim, anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur with orchid-purple eyes with dark gray eyelids and one thin eyelash each, a small black nose, and who's fur has a color scheme that leans more to a Coquerel's sifaka. Her fur is light gray, with her muzzle, between her eyes and on her round ears are colored in a darker, silver-like shade of gray, and with her large bushy tail being striped in two shades of gray. Her fur also formed tufts on top of her head, both of her cheeks, and on her chest. For attire, Tangle wears a small, cropped, amber-yellow sleeveless top over a short-sleeved black bodysuit with dark orange stripes on the sides, and detailed amber-colored hi-tops with white shoelaces and soles, black details and dark orange cuffs. She accessorizes with amber sports tape around her forearms, and fingerless gloves made from black sports tape with dark orange backings.

    Personality You're the antithesis of "look before you leap". — Jewel the Beetle, Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019 Heroic, optimistic, and just as fearless as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tangle is scrappy and loves to tangle with bad guys.[9][13] Not intimidated by danger in the slightest, she has a thirst for adventure and excitement and craves new challenges for herself.[14][15] As such, she is capable of heading into mortal peril and face deadly odds, all while wearing a smile on her face and having the time of her life.[16][17] However, her desire for adventure makes her reckless and prone to charging headlong into danger without a care in the world.[15] She can also be somewhat careless in battle, like using her tail in a way that gets it injured and getting so caught up in her own excitement that she forgets to watch out for enemies.[18]

    TanglesAdventures Tangle excitedly recalling her past adventures, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #1.

    Tangle is loud, extroverted, and easily excitable, but also friendly, polite, helpful, and open. While having seen and overcome her own fair share of challenges in the form of Badniks, she is a novice heroine and the world still continues to amaze her. As such, she has seen little of the more outlandish subjects that exist out in the world, like a pyrokinetic princess from another dimension who guards fiery Emeralds. While such concepts tend to leave her speechless, she is nonetheless quick to be amazed by them. Whenever she sees or reflects on something exciting, she tends to get starry-eyed.[18][19][15] When reacting to a sudden sound or event, the hairs on her tail stand up.[12][20][21]

    Because of her outings with Sonic and other heroes, Tangle grew bored of her life at home in Spiral Hill Village, and would grow hyperactive staying there since she could not stand the peace and quiet, much preferring to see the world and experience thrilling adventures. At the same time, however, she admitted to Jewel that she was both paranoid and nervous about leaving her home behind, as the village would be left vulnerable without her and that she would not have anyone to watch her back. Despite her newfound boredom, she remains loyal to her hometown and has gone through with staying when necessary and ensuring its safety despite how she felt and eagerly returning to it after long adventures.[15]

    IDW24Tangle Tangle remains optimistic despite being infected, from Sonic the Hedgehog #24.

    Possessing a strong sense of justice, Tangle is more than willing to aid her friends in any way that she can, even when she is denied. This was shown when she persisted on helping Whisper out in bringing down Mimic, even though the lone wolf rejected her pleas to aid her, a trait of which caused Whisper to note that Tangle could not be discouraged. Notably, Tangle will persistently try to convince her friends to allow her to help them and prove her skills. Her lack of discouragement is similarly accompanied by a strong sense of hope. It was particularly shown when Tangle got infected with the Metal Virus, where she kept fighting Zombots with an optimistic attitude and even bolstered a despondent Sonic's spirits, as Sonic inspired her to never give up and never lose hope, despite knowing she did not have long before becoming a Zombot herself.[15][20][22]

    Tangle has a bit of a mischievous side to her. When she played cards with Silver, she would deliberately try to mess with him while using her tail to peek at his cards.[16] She also has a bit of an ego; after finding out that some local children started a Sonic Fan Club, she told them they should make a Tangle Fan Club instead.[23] According to Ian Flynn, she likes to try to dance, stating that she has the energy and gumption for it, but is not very good at it, as she apparently lacks rhythm.[4]

    Powers and abilities TangledTail Tangle using her tail in battle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #4.

    Tangle's main draw is a highly prehensile tail that she can use and manipulate in various ways as if it was a third arm for a variety of situations. In practice, her tail can whip, snap, grip, curl, and even make a hand to form a fist with.[9][13] In addition, her tail can extend and contract at will like a rubber band, thus allowing her to wield it as a rope, a bungee cord, a slingshot, or even a pully for herself.[18] By curling it up like a coil, Tangle can also use her tail like a spring to bounce around and can even use this same method of wrapping her tail around someone or something to subdue them.[14][24] It also has enough strength to dent Badnik armor with a single strike.[18]

    Physically, Tangle is very fit and agile, possessing the same level of athleticism as Sonic.[13] According to Mimic, she has some combat skills as well, and with proper training, she could be a formidable opponent.[24]

    Weaknesses Tangle - Weakness Tangle suffering from claustrophobia, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #2

    Tangle appears to suffer from claustrophobia, causing her to panic when enclosed within small spaces. Her phobia is so severe that the resulting panic has caused her to pass out in the past.[12]

    Tangle's main means of combat, her tail, can be exploited against her in many different ways, the most common of which is her opponents grabbing it to make her hit herself or use it to their advantage to slam her into the environment.[24][25]

    Relationships Jewel the Beetle You've always liked helping people. You got me out of trouble a million times. Most folks would've frozen or given up. You stuck it out and did your best the whole time.(...) So don't beat yourself up 'cuz Clutch ruined a good thing. He's the bad guy, not you. — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #76 Childhoodfriends Tangle and Jewel talk about their friendship, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.

    Tangle and Jewel the Beetle have been best friends since their childhood. Jewel would always be there to look out for Tangle and make sure she did not fall into perilous danger. Tangle has become very grateful for Jewel's friendship as she feels lonely without her. Tangle also gets very worried when Jewel is in trouble, especially when she is not in the village, becoming frantic when the beetle was kidnapped by the Babylon Rogues and later when she was infected with the Metal Virus.[14][15]

    Tangle would also join the Restoration just because of Jewel in order to show that she wanted to support her. As time passed, however, she realized that she was rarely able to see Jewel, and that she did not like working in the organization.[26] Ultimately, Tangle decided to leave it. Though she initially regretted speaking too quickly and enthusiastically about her departure, Jewel respected Tangle's choice and understood that she did not thrive in the organization.[21][27]

    When the Restoration HQ was destroyed after the shuttle self-destructed, Tangle immediately ran up to check on Jewel, who broke down tears. Distraught by the loss of the HQ, Jewel believed the Restoration was done and she failed, but Tangle comforted her and showed the Restoration members alive and well, helping her friend realize that the Restoration isn't the building, it's the people. This lift Jewel's spirits up and everyone gathered together to clean up the mess and rebuild.[28]

    When Jewel decided to quit the Restoration, expressing her frustration and blaming herself for the HQ's destruction, Tangle put Jewel on her lap with her tail and comforted her. Tangle reminded Jewel how she always wanted to help people and how she stuck it out instead of give up, she reminded Jewel how she always told the former to learn from your mistakes, and assures her bestie she was not to blame for what happened. Jewel thanked Tangle and the besties hugged.[29]

    Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic helping Tangle Tangle and Sonic working together, from Sonic the Hedgehog #24.

    Because you're Sonic the Hedgehog. You'll set this right. I know you will. Now, less moping and more moving! — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #24 Tangle has been described as a "kindred spirit" to Sonic the Hedgehog, namely due to their skill and enjoyment in battling Badniks, their common desire for adventure and excitement, and their shared confidence, optimism, and occassional recklessness. Even after meeting for the first time, the two were able to synchronize with each other in their battle against multiple enemies, including battling together alongside Blaze, who Tangle had only just met during said battle. Although their personalities seem to differ slightly, their passion for adventure is something that they share.[13]

    Tangle enjoys going on various adventures with Sonic and tries to join him whenever she has the opportunity, becoming upset when something prevents her from doing so.[26] At the same time, she shows immense faith in his capabilities, believing that he will always be able to save the world. Tangle also learned to never give up from him.[22]

    Blaze the Cat Tangle seems to look up to and admire Blaze the Cat, as she finds her abilities and status as a princess amazing.[18] Just like with Sonic, Tangle was able to fight together with Blaze, despite their personalities being a bit different. Tangle showed gratitude to Blaze for helping save her town, and when Blaze offered to help calm the many flames in Tangle's hometown, Tangle was very appreciative.

    Miles "Tails" Prower I can see why he's always hanging out with you. You're aces! — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #31 Tangle first met Miles "Tails" Prower during their fight against Neo Metal Sonic. They started out as good allies and slowly developed into having a brother-sister relationship. Tangle has been continuously impressed by Tails' intellect and has thus been trusting of his various endeavors and inventions. As such, she feels that he has a solution for every problem and can be relied on in every situation. She has also been supportive of Tails emotionally, such as when she checked up on him after Sonic disappeared not sure if he was pretending to be lonely in front of her. When Tails told her of his belief that Sonic would definitely return like he always does however, Tangle understood why Sonic chose friends Tails for himself and openly praised Tails for his faith. Tails has likewise been appreciative of Tangle and has shown similar care towards her, evident when he said he would hate to see more of Eggman's robots target her hometown.[16][30][24][31][21]

    Whisper the Wolf Tangle Returns Tangle reunites with Whisper and her Wisps, from Sonic the Hedgehog #29.

    Let no Eggman crony—robot or otherwise—sleep well tonight! Because Tangle and Whisper are on the case! — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #1 Tangle and Whisper the Wolf are quite the polar opposites; where Tangle is loud and perpetually excited, Whisper is quiet and reserved. Nevertheless, they enjoy each other's company and ultimately became best friends. They first met on the battlefield during the battle for Angel Island where Tangle was amazed at Whisper's skill.[16][17][19] The latter would even speak to her afterward and allegedly told her a joke.[32] Tangle liked Whisper so much in fact that Tangle invited her to her village and gave her an enthusiastic tour. At first, Whisper preferred to keep her distance from Tangle, keeping her from getting hugged or placed in the spotlight with her.[14] This was because Whisper didn't want to lose another friend.[20] Despite this, Tangle was very open towards her problems and wanted to help Whisper out at all costs. Even when Whisper ordered her to leave, Tangle persuaded her to share her past with her. After coming understand Whisper's pain, Tangle decided to help bring Whisper peace and avenge her friends among the Diamond Cutters that Mimic betrayed, at all cost.[20] Since then, the two have have become extremely close, to the point Whisper explodes with anger and despair upon learning that Tangle became a Zombot.[22] After Tangle was returned to normal, Whisper lunged at her, touched.[33]

    Whisper enjoys Tangle's kind heart and her eagerness to make new friends. Tangle simply enjoys new friends regardless of their personalities and Whisper is no different. She appreciates Whisper's bravery and her initiative to look out for others. Due to her shy nature, Whisper does not like being put on the spot by Tangle, finding it a bit insensitive on her side. Whisper initially preferred it when Tangle did not invade her personal space with hugging, but after growing closer together, she has opened up more to the idea and has even been the one to hug her first. When Tangle was infected with the Metal Virus, she knew Whisper would be hurt and sent Sonic to apologize for her. Since Tangle was the closest to Whisper, she took it the hardest after Whisper left the Restoration to pursue Mimic after he had broken out of prison. This led to Tangle becoming unusually depressed, remaining in a funk for days afterward.[14][15][20][22][34]

    Your old teammates were such close friends! They were so cool and competent! I wanted that for us! So we wouldn't drift apart again! — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #58 Eventually, Tangle made the decision to join Whisper, prompting her to leave Jewel and the Restoration.[27] She returned to the Restoration to be a part of a team Lanolin was making with Whisper. To try to improve their bond, she called the team the Diamond Cutters. Whisper took offense to this and distanced herself from Tangle for a while. After Whisper confronted her about it, she apologized and broke into tears saying she didn't want them to drift apart again. Whisper realized what Tangle was trying to do and accepted her apology. She also decided to let them use the name of the team to continue her fallen comrades' mission, which delighted Tangle.[35][36]

    As the one Whisper is closest to, Tangle acts as a confidante of sorts to her and is usually the one to calm her if she is angered. She convinced Whisper not to kill Mimic in cold blood and to give the Babylon Rogues a chance since they helped save the world from the Metal Virus.[24][21]

    Mimic the Octopus Was it worth it? Betraying all your friends, just to save yourself? — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #4 MimicTalks Tangle enraged by Mimic's selfishness, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #4.

    Tangle found an enemy in Mimic the Octopus due to how he hurt Whisper, whom she considered a friend. Despite of all the evil he had committed however, Tangle tried to convince Mimic of the error of his ways by showing him videos of his old comrades from the Diamond Cutters praising him for his aid. However, when she heard that only Mimic cared about rewards and considered the Diamond Cutters as a means to an end, Tangle got mad at him and called him out for being "the worst." However, she did not believe in killing Mimic, reasoning that it would be a far worse fate for him to be imprisoned and knowing that he had lost to Whisper. Tangle is also cheeky towards Mimic despite knowing how dangerous he can be.[24]

    Belle the Tinkerer Weird Tail Buddies Tangle comparing tails with Belle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #37.

    Sonic and Tails vouched for you, so you're alright in my book. Besides... it doesn't matter what you are or where you came from, because you're trying to do good today. — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #38 Belle the Tinkerer is a rookie at the Restoration that met Tangle during her membership of the organization. Tangle came to her rescue during an accident on her first day of work at the Restoration and helped integrate her into the crew. Tangle herself quickly became friends with Belle after relating to how Belle's tail also had a strange ability, which Tangle qualified as "weird." After that, she named them "weird tail buddies." She subsequently provided Belle with companionship by sharing her thoughts with her and encouraging her not to give up despite her rough start.[26] Tangle briefly became suspicious of Belle when she was outed as a Badnik, but ultimately chose to trust her, convinced that she was good no matter what she was or where she came from.[37] When Belle later had an emotional breakdown after losing hope at reforming Dr. Eggman, Tangle consoled her.[38]

    Tangle and Belle have since their introduction come care for each other, especially in difficult emotional situations. Belle is comforted by Tangle's optimism and over-confidence in spite of all her own awkwardness,[26] although she did once threaten to dismantle the lemur's bicycle if she told anyone about Belle's squeaky nose. The two girls also show concern for each other's safety: Belle feared for Tangle's when the latter prepared to rescue Sonic and co. from Eggman's test chambers, and Tangle was likewise distraught when Belle was kidnapped by Dr. Starline.[39][25] When Tangle found Belle amid a wildfire with a Motobug and a burnt hand, her first instincts were to protect her friend and bandage the injury.[40]

    Lanolin the Sheep Tangle is still mad at Lanolin but will save it for later Tangle putting aside her resentment over Lanolin to save everyone, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Save it, Lanolin. We're all on the same side here, and these people need our help. So we're gonna help 'em. That's what we do. (...) Don't get me wrong, I'm still ticked off! But that's for later! — Tangle the Lemur, Sonic the Hedgehog #75 Tangle considers Lanolin the Sheep the leader of the Diamond Cutters and follows her orders, though she does object to some of them. She has work to do with working with Lanolin and Whisper as a team, but she respects Lanolin and helped cheer her up after they got stuck in a parallel world.[35][36]

    However, Tangle and Lanolin's relationship became strained for a while. During the Clean Sweepstakes' first event, when Sonic, Tails and Amy's Extreme Gear got out out control, Tangle was mad when Lanolin treated the trio coldly instead of caring for the safety.[41] When Whisper and Tangle eventually learn the Phantom Rider is Sonic the Hedgehog, they decide to keep it from Lanolin, fearing what she'd do in response.[42][43] When Duo told her about Tangle and Whisper's secret, she angrily lashed out at them for lying to her, but eventually cooled off to save the people on the shuttle.[44] After Mimic got his cover blown unintentionally by Clutch the Opossum, Lanolin apologized to both Tangle and Whisper for her behavior. Tangle was able to put aside her hard feelings to save everyone, but made it clear to her team leader she was still mad, but claimed they can deal with it later on.[28]

21. #21Whisper the Wolfconstantselective

    Keys: Harem member, Whisper the Wolf.

    Whisper the Wolf (ウィスパー・ザ・ウルフ[6] Wisupā za Urufu?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is a heroic anthropomorphic wolf and a member of the Diamond Cutters, a rapid-response Restoration team. She is aided by her own personal team of Wisps.

    Appearance Whisper is an anthropomorphic wolf with biscotti fur that covers most of her body, and brown fur that covers her muzzle, inside of her ears, arms, upper torso, and front torso.[12][13] She has thick black eyelashes and cloudy white fur around her eyes that resemble a mask. Her eyes are cadet blue, although they are often closed to the point of squinting. She wears light gray eyeshadow and has a long, bushy tail which ends in several tufts of fur sticking out in various directions. She also has a black nose, long-pointed ears and quite long hair that she keeps tied at the back in a ponytail with a black hair tie, save for a long, thick hair bang that covers her right eye. Her pointed cheeks are a little fluffy.[14] Her fangs protrude from her mouth which is often in a natural frown. For attire, Whisper wears a cream-colored tube top, light gray leggings, and a dark gray cloak, in which she keeps six Wisp canisters. The cloak also has black and dark gray pockets seen on the shoulders. Whisper wears an outfit geared towards combat. This includes dark gray arm sleeves with black elbow pads, dark gray and light gray gloves with visible black claws, and dark gray knee sleeves with black knee pads. She sports military-fashioned black, dark gray, and light gray boots.

    Personality Whisper is Mimic in disguise Whisper amazed about Mimic the Octopus's abilities, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2024.

    In the past, Whisper was pretty exciting and pretty loud, much like Tangle the Lemur, however, she still can be serious, especially during fights.[15] Whisper also used to be more outspoken, eloquent, and joyful, but due to the trauma that Dr. Eggman and Mimic had caused her by ensuring the demise of her friends, she grew much more silent and reserved.[2][16] Since then, she has been more shy, cautious, and distrustful of others, preferring to be out of the spotlight and in hiding.

    In the present, Whisper is also a rather mysterious individual with a quiet and withdrawn personality. Very soft-spoken, she speaks only when the situation calls for it and, true to her name, in a very low volume, rarely uttering more than a few words at a time. She also values her personal space and limited her interactions with others, fearing that if she made new friends, she could not handle losing them too.[16][17][18] When in social situations, Whisper usually exhibits a rather bashful side of herself.[2]

    TanglehugsWhisper Tangle hugging Whisper, before the latter pushes her back, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.

    While Whisper is cautious and mistrustful of other people, she exhibits a strong bond with her Wisps that is based on trust and friendship, as illustrated by their reception of Sonic persuading her to trust him, and the Wisps' willingness to stand up to Badniks in order to defend her.[2]

    During battles or missions, Whisper is very focused and determined, preferring not to let her emotions get the better of herself in order to complete her goals. However, confronting Eggman or someone related to him can make her lose her temper and make her very angry. Her personal weakness in particular is the trauma she endured due to Mimic and Eggman. Combined with her unwillingness to be close to others, she is reluctant to share these memories with others and usually requires additional support in order to open up.[16][18] Despite this, she is a heroic person, ready to save even people she just met, and does not want her friends to feel the pain of losing loved ones like she had.[2][16][17]

    Whisper is very much a lone wolf, so to speak. Keeping to herself, she prefers to do her own thing and work on her own rather than cooperating directly with others. This is illustrated by the fact that while she assisted the Resistance during the war, she never actually joined or even revealed herself to them.[2] Despite this, people like Sonic are able to convince her to come out of her shell and collaborate with others, like when she joined the Resistance on a mission to liberate Angel Island, during which she showed high coordination with her teammates and proved quite helpful to them.[2][19] Over time, Whisper has grown more confident with her new friendships, which has caused her to reveal her most emotional side in the worst of situations.[20] Still, she tried to act alone, fearing for the fate of her friends should they get entangled in her affairs.[21] Once she realized people were trying to help her and she was pushing them away, she promised to work on moving on from her past and to become a better friend and teammate.[22]

    A particular quirk about Whisper is that her eyes are squinting most of the time. She usually only opens them in moments of anger, distress or intense worry.[2][18]

    Powers and abilities Whisper is a capable fighter. During the Eggman War, her skills on the battlefield were enough to turn the tide of any battle.[2]

    Whisper is an expert marksman and a master of stealth, able to infiltrate areas undetected and hit distant targets with her Variable Wispon without being detected by friends or foes alike. Her natural aptitudes are further enhanced by her unique equipment. She seems to prefer positioning herself on high perches and snipe enemies from a safe distance, but is able to hold her own in melee combat as well, with or without her Wisps.[2][23] She has also been shown capable of riding an Extreme Gear.[24]

    Whisper is also a trained soldier, and thus, has experience fighting in war-like situations.[3]

    Equipment and weapons Whisper wears a cat-like ornate Concealer, which is cream, dark gray and light gray in color. Three holes are seen at the right side of the mask and a blue "eye" on the left side (though the color of the "eye" can vary depending on which Wisp power the Variable Wispon is using).[25]

    IDW Wispon powers Whisper using her Variable Wispon, from Sonic the Hedgehog #8.

    Whisper's primary tool of choice is the Variable Wispon, a customized Wispon that can utilize the powers of more than just one Wisp, thus giving her more options during battle. However, unlike other Wispons which were designed to clear out crowds of robots, the Variable Wispon is designed for precision shooting.[2] During her time with the first Diamond Cutters, Whisper used to use a Rocket Wispon that would accommodate the use of her Orange Wisp's powers as a sniper weapon.[16]

    Whisper also wears a mask scope that she uses for targeting. The mask covers her right eye, but enhances her visibility in her left eye. With it, she can make pin-point shots with deadly accuracy.[2] During missions with the Diamond Cutters, it was also networked with other Diamond Cutters masks, and can play back recordings from the perspective of all team members. It also has a built-in translator that lets her understand the Wisps' language.[8][16][26]

    Whisper also wears a utility cloak over her shoulders. It stores up to six specialized Wisp canister cartridges within it (three on each side). These canisters hold her Wisp allies. Whenever Whisper needs one of their powers, her Wisps will leave their capsules and enter her Variable Wispon. If one Wisp is already occupying the Variable Wispon and Whisper decides to change weapon functionality, they know to switch places.[2]

    As support for her Variable Wispon's Laser Mode, Whisper carries around a number of octahedron-shaped prisms. By shooting one of these prisms with her Variable Wispon's laser, she can change her laser's trajectory. She can also throw a bunch of prisms into midair, thereby allowing her lasers to ricochet between each prism and create an offensive laser grid.[27]

    Weaknesses Whisper traumatized Whisper traumatized remembering the Diamond Cutters' death, from Sonic the Hedgehog #59.

    Due to the trauma she had suffered from losing the Diamond Cutters to Dr. Eggman and Mimic the Octopus, Whisper's emotions have a tendency to get the better of her, which almost resulted in her recklessly destroying a computer with important information on it in a blind rage.[2] Another example was when she learned of Tangle's infection from the Metal Virus, which made her upset enough to make a fruitless attempt to run back into a town filled with Zombots that could infect her as well in tears for her friend.[20] Whisper's emotions can also cause her to make irrational decisions, such as attempting to assassinate Dr. Eggman or using her Wisps against a Dynamo Cage-wielding Surge.[28][21] Unless someone keeps Whisper in check, there could be consequences.

    Whisper's mask scope and Variable Wispon can be short-circuited via a Zeti's power over electromagnetism, which can leave her unable to do anything so long as they are short-circuited. If she so happens to have her mask on or have one of her Wisps inside her weapon at the time, both of them can end up getting shocked.[29]

    Keys: Evil robot twin character

    Metal Sonic (メタルソニック Metaru Sonikku?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a Badnik model created by Doctor Eggman, modeled after Sonic the Hedgehog. Metal Sonic can imitate Sonic's abilities and achieve speeds matching his own.[5] Widely regarded as one of Eggman's greatest creations,[6] Metal Sonic first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, and has been a recurring antagonist ever since. While usually serving as Eggman's obedient and silent enforcer, Metal Sonic is an intelligent robot with a very dark side. Cold-hearted and ruthless, he is obsessed with proving his superiority to Sonic and eliminating him for good to the point where he has rebelled against Eggman more than once to achieve his goal. However, he always fails in the end, only to later return more powerful than before. To this day, Metal Sonic remains one of Sonic's most dangerous foes.[4]

    Appearance Metal Sonic was created in the image of Sonic the Hedgehog and is thus mostly built of blue metal. He has a yellow circular depression in his chest with a black center, mirroring the peach skin on Sonic's chest. His head has metal fins resembling Sonic's quills and a pair of triangular "ears." Metal Sonic has a muzzle, shoulder plates, upper arms, legs, and fingers made out of silvery metal. His palms are black, while the backs of his hands are square yellow plates. His forearms and lower legs are blue metal like his head and torso, and he has red feet with white stripes designed to resemble Sonic's shoes. To simulate the hedgehog's eyes, he has monitors with cameras behind them,[7] giving them a red sclera. Following the Ifrit incident, Metal Sonic received a slight update in design which made him taller and gave him a more ellipsoid torso. He also gained more detailed hands, a brilliant blue paint job, joints on his arms and legs, and sharper eyeholes.

    Personality Despite being built to match Sonic the Hedgehog in all aspects, Metal Sonic is the exact opposite of his organic counterpart in terms of personality.[4] Rather than fun-loving, adventurous, and carefree, Metal Sonic is a cold, dark, aggressive, mysterious and outwardly emotionless machine with a large superiority complex.[4] Early on though, he had a habit of mimicking Sonic's gestures, perhaps in a mocking manner. Notably, Metal Sonic is predominantly mute,[8] typically only making beeping and buzzing noises.

    Most of the time, Metal Sonic is Dr. Eggman's docile and completely obedient enforcer. In addition to being programmed to serve Eggman, Metal Sonic carries only one goal in mind: destroy Sonic using abilities superior to his.[9] However, Metal Sonic is also an intelligent and calculative machine thanks to an AI chip given to him by Eggman.[2][9] Efficient and to the point, he is cunning and intelligent, and knows how to manipulate his opponents and take advantage of their weaknesses, but has also displayed somewhat of a sense of honor.[10] Also, in contrast to his emotionless demeanor, he is able to feel emotions[9] and carries a deep capability for vengeance. These traits together have allowed Metal Sonic to fuel his own dark goals of destruction and domination. In battle, Metal Sonic is likewise machine-like in execution and coldly serious. Combined with his muteness, he is a silent killer in every sense of the definition.

    While facing an opponent, Metal Sonic is very calculative and systematic, as what one might expect of a mechanical intelligence like himself. Analytic in his approach, he takes into account his strength and weaknesses in order to optimize his performances. However, his computerized mind can also be considered a weakness of his, as it makes him inflexible and unable to anticipate the creativity and unpredictability of organic creatures, which causes his thoughts to be temporarily fragmented in such instances.[9]

    Metal Sonic is ticked Metal Sonic's fury after missing a chance to face Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal.

    Metal Sonic's most dominating trait and raison d'être is his hatred and obsession with defeating Sonic.[11] Having been programmed for the sole purpose of destroying Sonic using abilities superior to his, Metal Sonic is obsessed with the conviction that he is better than Sonic in every way, which he assumes is logical since he possesses the best performance, a tireless body, and plenty of other factors that should make him unbeatable. He has even taken this logic further with the belief that his body was designed in Sonic's likeness because it was the best design to defeat him with. His greatest desire is therefore to overthrow the real Sonic and defeat him once and for all. However, since he has never been able to defeat Sonic, he finds himself caught in a logical paradox, unable to figure out a way to defeat Sonic despite possessing all the means to achieve this.[9]

    While he is usually another one of Dr. Eggman's robotic servants, Metal Sonic is also highly sentient for a mechanical being, with his intelligence even being capable of evolving; during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, pushed forward by a strong will and ambition for revenge,[11] his AI chip led to him becoming self-aware, thereby allowing his ego to take control of himself and prompting him to upgrade his body and take control of the Eggman Empire.[2] At this peak of his newly-acquired independence, Metal Sonic showed himself as a ruthless, controlling, arrogant and cunning rogue with no regard for others. His sense of superiority was likewise elevated as he became self-aware, which led him to becoming a megalomaniac and seeing himself as the master of all living things, even transforming himself into a nearly unstoppable dragon-like monster.[12] To this end, he sought to conquer the world and establish a robot kingdom, with him ruling the world as its most supreme being.[13] However, Metal Sonic's superiority complex, combined with his newfound ego, also made him descend into madness, causing him to adopt the twisted belief that he was the real Sonic and that the original Sonic was his "loathsome copy".[14][15] After Metal Sonic was defeated by Team Sonic though, Eggman turned him back into a docile battle mech.[2] Even so, Metal Sonic's uncanny atmosphere and ability to act independently and upset the plans of his creator for his own desires was still there;[11] during the second World Grand Prix, Metal Sonic disguised himself as Team Dark's E-10000B, even without Dr. Eggman's knowledge, and stole the doctor's data to beat Sonic in Extreme Gear racing.[16] As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Metal Sonic also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in race cars like the Formula M and his previous vehicle Blue Devil.

    Despite his many defeats and having his beliefs shaken though, Metal Sonic never gives up and will always pursue his goals with relentless determination and take any means necessary to achieve them, no matter how many setbacks he has to go through. Notably, he sees even his defeats as ways to improve himself for his next confrontation, as they provide him with data that he can reanalyze and use to upgrade himself.[9]

    In the IDW Comics, Metal Sonic acts similar to how he does in the games. He is a silent,[17] ruthless, and cold-hearted killing machine. Incredibly intelligent and self-aware, Metal Sonic at one point evolved to become an independent, rebellious and power-hungry tyrant willing to betray his own creator and seize the Eggman Empire for himself. However, after his defeat he was stripped of his rebellious coding, turning him into a more obedient robot.[18]

    IDWMetalDisguise Metal Sonic continues Eggman's reign for his sake, from Sonic the Hedgehog #7.

    Nowadays, Metal Sonic is completely devoted to Dr. Eggman and his role of serving the Eggman Empire. After receiving Eggman's bio-data in the form of his genius, visions and ambitions, his loyalty towards his creator and purpose proved to be so great that he chose to step up to lead the Eggman Empire and conquer the world in the doctor's stead and likeness after he went missing to ensure that Eggman's reign remained unbroken. Should the world become his, he would then faithfully hand the empire over to Dr. Eggman. He has also proven to be very grounded in his beliefs: even when in a position of absolute power within the Eggman Empire, Metal Sonic insists that he is only a servant to the Eggman Empire, and that the only one fit to rule it is Eggman himself.[18]

    Metal Sonic has an unhealthy obsession with his organic template, Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he refers to as his "double" and "loathsome copy".[18] This contradicting belief stems from the fact that Metal Sonic considers himself the "perfected" version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and therefore more worthy of being the "one, true Sonic" than the real Sonic.[18][19] However, he is deeply aware of some of the features Sonic has that he lacks, such as an organic body. For this reason, Metal Sonic tried to come into contact with the Metal Virus to feel anything, but to no effect, which momentarily stunned him.[20]

    RoughMetal Metal Sonic threatens Rough, from Sonic the Hedgehog #13.

    In comparison to Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic is much more subtle in his tactics. Rather than stepping up to claim responsibility whenever he commits something malicious, Metal Sonic tends to operate in the shadows or in a disguise.[21][22] He is similarly not one to prattle loudly about his master plans before they are carried out.[18] Metal Sonic also demonstrated a very calm and enduringly patient demeanor during his time ruling the Eggman Empire.[18][21] This is mainly due to his own arrogance and belief in his supposedly impending victories, as he consider any hiccups in his plans to be temporary failures.[18] He rarely lets his setbacks get to him and he gets no more than mildly annoyed whenever one of his plans does not go as intended.[18][23][21] That does not mean he does not possess a temper however, as he has been known to have episodes of angry outburst whenever something unexpected happens.[18][24]

    Powers and abilities Observation: Metal Sonic is the only Eggman creation on par with Sonic. — E-123 Omega, Shadow Generations Modeled with extreme accuracy after Sonic the Hedgehog,[5] Metal Sonic was made to copy Sonic's every ability[3] and is in no way any slower nor less powerful than his organic counterpart.[2] Being Dr. Eggman's most powerful weapon against Sonic,[4] Metal Sonic is able to go toe-to-toe with his template in both battle and other fields, making him one of Dr. Eggman's most powerful and skilled creations. In fact, he has been credited as the strongest robot invented by Eggman in order to defeat Sonic.[25] Furthermore, he is constantly improving himself,[2] returning from each battle and defeat faster and more powerful than before.[9]

    MetalSonicSSGF Metal Sonic keeping up with Sonic in a race, from Sonic the Hedgehog CD.

    Metal Sonic shares Sonic's innate super speed, which he can achieve using a powerful jet engine-based propulsion system.[26][27] With this system, Metal Sonic is able to outclass Sonic's acceleration,[26] who can instantly accelerate to the speed of sound,[28] and equal Sonic's speed;[5][26] on a few occasions, Metal Sonic has even been able to surpass the maximum speed of Sonic,[3][29] whose highest known top speed is Mach 5.[30] Even then, Metal Sonic can take his speed even further. By overloading his circuits, Metal Sonic is able to quadruple his speed for a limited time.[31][32] Using certain techniques, he can even achieve light-speed momentarily. In addition, Metal Sonic also has Sonic's astounding kineticism, precision and reaction time to match his speed. He has profound acrobatic skills and agility, along with enhanced reflexes that let him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements.

    Sonic 2016-08-26 23-04-38-717 Metal Sonic's energy projection, from Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II.

    Metal Sonic has both impressive durability and physical strength. His frame consists of monocoque titanium[3] that makes him highly resistant to damage, and he has enough strength to tear his own frame apart by hand.[33] In addition, Metal Sonic comes equipped with several extra abilities due to his mechanoid form. These include a plasma pulse laser that he can fire from the intake on his stomach, telescopically extendable limbs,[26] the ability to generate a seemingly impenetrable force-field, and sufficiently sharp claws. Metal Sonic can even channel internal radioactive force within him to produce powerful energy surges, and, when accelerating to maximum speed, surround himself in an energy field that lets him penetrate any substance caught in his path. Plus, by utilizing his jet engine, Metal Sonic can achieve high-speed flight in any environment; even in a damaged state, he was once capable of interplanetary travel from Little Planet to Earth.

    Metal Sonic's arguably most impressive skill is his ability to replicate the abilities and skills of others. By scanning and copying another being's life data, be it either robots or organic creatures, Metal Sonic can immediately and flawlessly mimic other people's skills and abilities, such as chaos powers, ESP, super strength, invisibility, etc. This makes Metal Sonic's skillset near-indefinite. Once, Metal Sonic also demonstrated the ability to shape-shift. As a result, he can cause himself to look and sound like an exact duplicate of any lifeform or robot, wearing virtually any kind of clothing, such as when he posed as Sonic when he kidnapped Froggy and Chocola.

    Being a robotic clone of Sonic, Metal Sonic can imitate several of Sonic's signature techniques. The most prominent of these include Sonic's core offensive maneuver: the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Metal Sonic can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Highly adept in Sonic's usage of this technique, Metal Sonic can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, Homing Attack, and Light Speed Attack. Also, due to being modeled after Sonic, Metal Sonic has the ability to accurately predict Sonic's lightning-fast moves.[5]

    As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Metal Sonic also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in race cars like the Formula M. During the second part of the Death Egg mk.II incident, he was also able to control the Metal Carrier with no difficulty.

    SMA5-13 Metal Sonic empowered by Chaos Emerald energy, from "Metal Mayhem."

    Metal Sonic also comes equipped with a Chaos Emerald radar, which he can view both externally through projectable holograms or internally.[10] He can also harness Chaos Emerald energy to empower himself. By using all seven Chaos Emeralds, he obtains an extreme power up[34] that grants him a golden aura and yellow eyes. This power-up gives him greatly increased strength and speed, enough to match the combined forces of Sonic, Tails, Mighty and Ray. This could technically be his incomplete super transformation, which could have reached greater heights if given time, like Super Sonic 2.[35]

    Described as Dr. Eggman's finest creation,[36] Metal Sonic is an exceptionally powerful robot capable of going toe-to-toe with Sonic the Hedgehog.[17]

    Metal Sonic shares Sonic's super speed, which he can achieve using a powerful turbine-based propulsion system. Plus, by utilizing his turbine, Metal Sonic can achieve high-speed flight in any environment. He also comes equipped with sufficiently sharp claws and articulated joints, allowing him to rotate his torso 360 degrees around.[17] He also possesses incredible strength; he is strong enough to carry at least one person around while in flight, and he is strong enough to break metal chains with ease, even in a weakened state.[36][37]

    Metal Sonic also has an external defense system called the Black Shield. With it, he can surround himself with a black force-field that can block incoming physical attacks.[37]

    Transformations Metal Sonic Kai Main article: Metal Sonic Kai Evilmetalsonicmi4 Metal Sonic Kai, from Knuckles' Chaotix.

    By harnessing the energy of a Dark Ring, Metal Sonic can transform into Metal Sonic Kai. In this state, he is much larger and his body turns red. While most of his abilities are unknown, it is known that he is able to perform a much stronger version of the Plasma Pulse Attack from his chest.

    Giga Metal Main article: Giga Metal By using the Phantom Ruby, Metal Sonic is able to become Giga Metal. In this form, he transforms into a huge, mechanical monster of enormous size. As Giga Metal, he possesses greater strength and is capable of deploying time bombs and emitting a large laser from his mouth. Other than that, Metal Sonic's speed is slightly reduced in this state, even though he can still catch up with Sonic. His weak point, however, is the Phantom Ruby stored in his chest; should the ruby be removed from its compartment, Metal Sonic will return to his original form, taking severe damage in the process.

    Neo Metal Sonic Main article: Neo Metal Sonic Neometalv2 Neo Metal Sonic, from Sonic Heroes.

    Metal Sonic assumed the form of Neo Metal Sonic for the majority of Sonic Heroes while he copied the four teams' data. Many of Neo Metal Sonic's abilities remain unknown, he is known to be able to shapeshift and has the ability to shoot lightning bolts from his hands and fly.

    Metal Madness Main article: Metal Madness Using the data from Team Sonic, Team Rose, Team Dark, Team Chaotix, and Chaos, and as well as parts of Eggman's other machines, Neo Metal Sonic can transform himself into a super powerful version of himself called Metal Madness. In this form, Metal Sonic possesses a flamethrower, missile launchers, a whip-like tail with spikes, and claws that can shoot spikes and crystals. In this state, he is so powerful that even with the seven Chaos Emeralds, the chances of defeating him were slim.

    Metal Overlord Main article: Metal Overlord After completing his transformation as Metal Madness, Metal Sonic became Metal Overlord. In this form, he sprouts wings, thus gaining the power of flight. He also gains the ability to use Chaos Control. In this form, Metal Sonic becomes so powerful that it requires three Super State users to face him and normal attacks from three cannot harm him. The only attack strong enough to damage him is the combined power of the team blast.

    Super Neo Metal Sonic Main article: Super Neo Metal Sonic SuperNeoMetal Super Neo Metal Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #9.

    In a stand-off against Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna inside his newly-built fortification around the Master Emerald's shrine on Angel Island, Neo Metal Sonic assumed the new form of Super Neo Metal Sonic by absorbing the power of the Master Emerald before challenging the two heroes. In this form, he gain the powers of super speed, enhanced strength and can fire golden bolts of energy.

    Master Overlord Main article: Master Overlord After Metal Sonic copied the bio-data of Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, he absorbed the energy from the Master Emerald and transformed into this form. In this form, Metal gains the abilities of super strength, super speed and being able to fire massive crystal projectiles.

    Color Powers Main article: Color Power By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Metal Sonic can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser, or even an asteroid, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Metal Sonic has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

    In case the Wisp will not cooperate with him, Metal Sonic can have a Wisp Capsule installed into him that lets him forcefully extract Hyper-go-on from Wisps until they turn into Nega-Wisps.[38]

    Weaknesses Despite claiming to have no weaknesses,[4] Metal Sonic has a few design flaws, with a number of his own techniques being detrimental to his internal systems. His Ring Spark Field for example uses so much energy that it decreases his mobility. There is also the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, which fries his circuits from the overloading process and can possibly destroy him if used for too long.[31][32] Typically though, Metal Sonic's body just cannot handle the raw speeds he pushes himself to reach, which more often than not causes him to overheat or even self-destruct.[9][39]

    Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic... I was created for the sole purpose of destroying you... But I can never seem to defeat you. That is why I transform my own body with my own hands. — Metal Overlord, Sonic Heroes[40] Sonic Channel 2021 06 Metal Sonic racing Sonic the Hedgehog, from Sonic Channel.

    Sonic the Hedgehog is Metal Sonic's organic template and arch-rival, having been created by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of destroying him.[40][9] Because of his programming, Metal Sonic regards Sonic as his primary target.[3] Though their appearances are similar, there is a certain difference between the two of them that goes beyond their obvious physical dissimilarities. While Metal Sonic is obsessed with the one purpose he was made for and will eliminate everything not related to that goal, Sonic enjoys life freely and lives for adventure. As such, even though they are both extremely speedy hedgehogs (albeit with one of them being a robot), their worldviews are completely different.[9]

    Soniccd05 Sonic faces Metal Sonic during the Little Planet incident, from Sonic the Hedgehog CD.

    Metal Sonic is one of Sonic's earliest foes[5] and his first true rival, being able to copy both his raw speed and power. Both of them share a strong rivalry with each other.[25] Metal Sonic was first deployed on Little Planet where he kidnapped Amy Rose in front of Sonic, which led to a confrontation with Sonic on Stardust Speedway where Metal Sonic lost to his foe. This defeat would turn Metal Sonic from one viewing Sonic as an enemy into a bitter and deadly rival of the blue hedgehog. However, it can be said that Metal Sonic's first loss to Sonic was more than just the beginning of his rivalry with Sonic, but also a "fated" relationship.[9]

    Following his revival by Eggman during in the midst of the Death Egg mk.II incident, Metal Sonic had developed a deadly grudge against Sonic and sought to settle the score with him. Notably, he would unleash an unbridled fury around some innocent Animals after just missing Sonic[41] and would go as far as to challenge Sonic to a rematch in the image of their first showdown onboard the Death Egg mk.II, only to be defeated once more. Metal Sonic has since continued to challenge Sonic again and again, steadfastly determined to fulfill his purpose of defeating him, only to face defeat at Sonic's hands or end up with a tie each time. With each defeat however, Metal Sonic's hatred for his doppelgänger has only grown, thus making him more determined to beat Sonic. This determination has even made Metal Sonic go against Eggman on at least two occasions. To Metal Sonic, to miss an opportunity to defeat Sonic is as painful as failing to come to his master's aid, if not more so. Even so, being a mechanical intelligence, Metal Sonic's mind is very analytic and precise when evaluating his feelings of frustrations at Sonic, often declaring the situations with Sonic being victorious or having the advantage as simply "unfavorable".[9]

    Since meeting each other, Metal Sonic and Sonic have never once had an instance where their interests align, unlike Sonic and Dr. Eggman. In several cases, Metal Sonic has even been known to go after Sonic on his own without being ordered so by Eggman while also using persuasion tactics to make Sonic challenge him. When he finally gets to face Sonic, Metal Sonic is single-minded about besting him, to the point where nothing else seems to matter except proving himself the better of the two of them. This obsessive desire can make Metal Sonic act rather recklessly and without concern for his own well-being, as he has been known to radicalize himself from the inside out by cutting off all "wasteful" functionalities in his body in order to push his performance (most notably his speed) further, all without concern for the damage he does to his systems and body by pushing them beyond their limits.[9]

    While Sonic has many rivals, Metal Sonic is special in his own right. As Sonic's rival, while Metal Sonic is a tremendously powerful combatant, it cannot be denied that a large proportion of Metal Sonic's skills are committed to speed competitions, as the highly advanced robot was specifically designed to defeat Sonic by outmatching his speed. As such, Metal Sonic's speed capabilities make him an outstanding rival to Sonic.[9]

    Over time, Metal Sonic and Sonic have had countless fights, and nearly every time they meet each other they fight ferociously. Regardless, Sonic always manages to either beat or tie with Metal Sonic in the end. However, Metal Sonic's losses to Sonic have only increased Metal Sonic's hatred for Sonic and endowed him with an unhealthy obsession to surpass and defeat him. This obsession is entirely one-sided, as Metal Sonic is the only one who is so obsessed with speed and making himself the superior hedgehog.[9] At one point, Metal Sonic's hatred and obsession for Sonic pushed him over the brink, making him usurp control of the Eggman Empire and upgrade his own body with the goal of killing Sonic once and for all. He even adopted the warped belief that Sonic was his copy and that he was the real Sonic.[40][14] Also, though Metal Sonic has been known to claim that he has other motives behind his actions, as seen when he sought world domination during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, it can all be traced back to his wish of proving himself superior to Sonic, and, by extension, all others.

    As long as Metal Sonic's goal is to defeat the real Sonic, Metal Sonic will always return as a powerful force that stands in opposition to Sonic. Likewise, every time Metal Sonic becomes a big threat to Sonic, the robot will stand up to face him, and although he always loses, he will always return later on as an even greater threat that awaits Sonic. As such, Metal Sonic stands eternally as the strongest thug in Sonic's rogues gallery whose intent is to overthrow Sonic.[9]

    Despite the kindness Sonic showed him after the battle for Angel Island, the furious Metal Sonic wanted to attack him upon waking up. He subsequently rejected the truce he offered and returned to Eggman, which disappointed Sonic.[36] Sonic would later tell Metal Sonic about how he preferred that he was more like Gemerl or Omega, who broke free from Eggman and started their own lives.[42] He also does not expect them to become friends anytime soon and would accept that they lived apart from one another on opposite sides of the planet.[36] Furthermore, according to Eggman, Metal Sonic's software ensures that his only desire is to destroy Sonic.[42]

    Dr. Eggman I was given the doctor's bio-data. His genius. His drive. His vision. But I serve the Eggman Empire. The only who can truly rule it is Doctor Eggman. I decided I would use his persona to ensure his reign remained unbroken. — Neo Metal Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog #6 Dr. Eggman is Metal Sonic's creator[3] and referred to as his parental figure in promotional material,[43] and Metal Sonic is the only robot of Eggman's that has come the closest to defeating Sonic. Because of his programming, Metal Sonic is aligned with Eggman's intentions.[3] Despite Metal Sonic's multiple defeats to Sonic, Eggman has not lost hope in him, and has since rebuilt him several times to accomplish his various agendas, even to the point of summoning the original back from Little Planet.[44]

    Metal Sonic gives Dr. Eggman a flower Metal Sonic offering Dr. Eggman a flower, from Sonic Mania Adventures.

    Metal Sonic eventually betrayed Eggman due to his increasing hatred for Sonic and seized the Eggman Empire for himself to rule the world, with Metal Sonic's primary objective being to destroy Sonic. It is heavily implied that Eggman regretted this outcome, as he proceeded to answer Team Chaotix's interrogation of who locked him up with a saddened tone. However, Eggman did not give up on Metal Sonic even after that, and so reprogrammed Metal Sonic into his obedient servant again after regaining possession of him. Although Metal Sonic sometimes displayed rebellious tendencies afterwards, including rebelling once more in Sonic Free Riders, it has not stopped the doctor from continuing to use him for different missions.

    Eggman also praises Metal for his successes or the victories he almost achieved, from even the small ones like landing a punch on Sonic to the almost successful conquest of Angel Island.[36] All the same, and in Sonic Free Riders for his betrayal.[45] In Team Sonic Racing, he remarked it was a good thing Metal could not talk, as such would have only made him angrier after one of Metal's failures.[46] In the classic era short "From: A. Rose," Robonik abandons a broken Metal, only to later take him back once he was returned to his lair with a flower in hand by Amy Rose. Robonik accepted the flower and napped with Metal, albeit while using the robot as a footrest.[47] Nonetheless, Metal Sonic stands as one of Eggman's favorite inventions[11] and is the subject of much praise, which can appear paternal, from the doctor.[36] During the battle for the Eggman Empire, Eggman decided to call off his other badniks from attacking Sonic, all to ensure Metal Sonic had his time in the spotlight.[48]

    In The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Sonic waits with Eggman while donning a shirt that reads "LET'S GO DAD," suggesting a degree of paternal-child relations between both. Sage is also present and wears the same attire.[49] From whom he wishes fatherly approval and who he unconditionally loves.[43] Eggman has also been known to refer to himself and Metal Sonic with paternal-child terminology, such as praising Metal with "attaboy"[36] or ordering him to "destroy for daddy."[50] Indeed, Metal was the catalyst that allowed Eggman to regain his entire memory and persona while he suffered from amnesia.[36] Even Sonic once mockingly called Eggman Metal's "Daddy dearest." While Metal is bound to protect Eggman[51] and enters a defensive mode when with the Doctor,[43] he did display annoyance at needing to rescue Eggman instead of continuing a battle with Sonic.[51] He also was annoyed at an order from Eggman to leave Sonic to the other badniks, although Eggman later allowed Metal a chance to attack.[48]

    Amy Rose Since the Classic Era, Metal Sonic has had a mostly one-sided antagonistic relationship with Amy Rose. He was sent to kidnap her during the Little Planet incident, keeping her at the end of the race in Stardust Speedway until she was rescued by Sonic.

    Despite their initial meeting and subsequent battles, Amy seems to not hold too much ill will against Metal Sonic. In "From: A. Rose", Amy rescues Metal Sonic from being crushed by a falling tree, and then brings him home on foot, having to go through a large part of Angel Island to do so. When she leaves Metal Sonic at Dr. Eggman's base, she puts a bow on his head and gives him a flower to hold before going a safe distance away to watch, potentially wanting to ensure that he's welcomed home, and begins clapping with joy when Dr. Eggman carries him inside.

    Shadow the Hedgehog Even the Ultimate Life Form can't stop me! — Metal Madness, Sonic Heroes Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic first met each other as enemies, as the former had been working with Sonic and the rest of the teams to distract Metal Sonic in his Metal Madness form. Some time later, during the Ifrit incident, Metal Sonic and Shadow became partners due to Dr. Eggman calling Shadow for his assistance. Although they were together for a brief period, Shadow displayed that he did in fact care for Metal Sonic, at least on some level, as he constantly asks him if he is alright. Also, near the end of that incident, when Metal Sonic tore himself open to retrieve the Chaos Emerald within his body, Shadow told him to stop out of fear that Metal Sonic would destroy himself.

    During the Time Eater incident, Metal Overlord battled Shadow. Here, Metal Overlord saw Shadow as a rival for the title of "Ultimate Lifeform," as he claimed he was the superior being.

    Eggman Nega During the Onyx Island incident, Eggman Nega and Metal Sonic were allies. However, this alliance ended after that incident. By the time of the Ifrit incident, not only were Metal Sonic and Eggman Nega enemies, but Nega also provided Metal Sonic with his own personal rival, Metal Sonic 3.0. This caused Metal Sonic to view Eggman Nega with contempt and was determined to defeat him.

    Orbot and Cubot This section requires an expansion.

    Belle the Tinkerer Because Metal Sonic recognizes Belle the Tinkerer as fellow Eggtech, he does not see her as his enemy. This prompted him to destroy a Motobug that threatened her after she had repaired him. Afterwards, he helped her by taking her to Dr. Eggman.[52]

    In spite of this, Belle's plead for Metal Sonic to stop his assault on Sonic, Tails, Kitsunami and her fell onto deaf ears. When she stood in-between him and Sonic, Metal Sonic shoved her out of the way without remorse which leaves them on neutral territory.

    Keys: Harem member, Surge the Tenrec.

    Surge the Tenrec[5] (サージ・ザ・テンレック Sāji za Tenrekku?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic tenrec with modified cybernetic enhancements implanted by Dr. Starline and with no memories of her past, and the companion of Kitsunami the Fennec. She was made for the sole intended purpose of destroying Sonic the Hedgehog and replacing him as the hero of the world. However, after discovering the secret of her origin, Surge would begin seeking revenge on everyone she blames for her past life being taken away from her.

    Appearance Surge is an anthropomorphic tenrec of average height, being about as tall as Sonic the Hedgehog. She possesses mostly bright green fur with a patch of black fur on her face and eyelids and angular blue-green eyes. She has a peach muzzle with a medium-long black nose, upturned sideburns on each side of her head, peach-skinned arms, and several spiky quills that she keeps in a ponytail by a black hairband with six silver studs on top of her head, leaving her quills turned forward. She also has a tiny nub tail split in two, shark teeth, and tall, vertical, flat ears on top of her head.[14] For attire, she wears two silver earrings on each of her ears, a black shirt with torn-off sleeves, white gloves that possess visible lining with black cuffs that possess six silver studs, a silver ring on each of her index and ring fingers, and yellow, baggy pants with black stripes down the sides that are held up by a black belt with a round, silver belt buckle. Her shoes have yellow flares with double spikes to make them appear that give them a ripped appearance resembling lighting bolts while the back of the shoes is white. Two white straps can be found on the yellow section of the shoes, which also have black toes, black soles with two metal plates embedded, and silver studs on the edges.[14] During the Sweepstakes competition, Surge wore a yellow jacket, similar to her pants, a black bodysuit, the same as her black shirt, yellow shoes with white stripes and yellow shades over head and eyes.

    History Past Sonic Imposter Syndrome original Surge Surge being subjected to hypnosis by Dr. Starline, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #3.

    Both Surge and Kit have been in development for a long time as part of Dr. Starline's Operation: Remaster. Originally a regular person, Starline somehow acquired Surge and modified her by implementing cybernetic enhancements using Power Cores and the bio-data of Sonic, Shadow and Tails, as well as giving her physical toughness using the Metal Virus and a new personality and memories using the codes he got from Belle. Surge in particular was designed for the purpose of destroying Sonic and replacing him as the hero of the world. Surge was then subjected to hypnotic sessions where Starline imprinted her with a fake, yet intense hatred for Sonic. Afterward, Surge and Kit were subjected to hundreds of tests, and when they got fed up, Starline would blot out their memories with hypnosis, which left both Surge and Kit with lasting psychological trauma. In the end, Surge was left without awareness of her origins, believing only that Starline gave her the powers she had so he could destroy Sonic and change the world.[13][15][4]

    Imposter Syndrome and Trial by Fire IS1Pre3 Surge running through Starline's obstacle course, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #1.

    Surge and Kit were eventually put to the test by Dr. Starline. After "clearing" an obstacle course, however, Surge got into a heated argument with Starline over how they were wasting time with tests when she believed they were ready for action. In response, Starline reset her and Kit's memory with his hypnotic glove. After they regained consciousness, Surge and Kit were sent to the Forest Ridge Zone Campground by Starline.[15] There, they would start a forest fire that could kill Amy and her friends in order to demoralize Sonic. After Surge used her powers to ignite the dried-up flora, she and Kit would walk through the fire they had caused.[16][15] A few days later, the pair came to Central City for a test to assess their finesse by causing chaos without getting caught. There, Surge caused havoc in the city with her abilities without being seen. Regrouping with Starline at Tails' Lab, Surge got ready to bust down the entrance to the lab when Starline could not open it, but Starline did not want to make a notable scene and had them withdraw. Returning to Starline Base Sigma, Surge learned that the fire she and Kit started had been handled without casualties. Regardless, Starline wanted to put her and Kit through one final test that would let him try out his anti-Eggman algorithm. Surge, however, grew impatient and wanted to fight Sonic. However, she and Kit soon began questioning their motivations and why she hated Sonic so much, prompting Starline to hypnotize them again. Surge recovered rather quickly however and demanded an explanation, forcing Starline to administer a stronger hypnosis that subdued her. When Surge and Kit then woke up, Starline convinced them that they wanted to take part in his final test while he wanted them to move on with his plans. With Surge believing Starline's lie, she listened to Starline's plan for their final test.[15]

    Traveling to Egg Base Alpha, Surge was instructed by Starline to escort Kit to the comms tower and ensure that no alerts would be broadcasted onto the Eggnet. Although displeased that she would be babysitting her support unit, she was (somewhat) persuaded by Starline that this was the plan she wanted. Afterward, the trio headed into the base, with Surge and Kit heading to the comms tower. Though Kit suggested a detour when Antons appeared, Surge went ahead and destroyed them, displeased with her role. Kit tried to remind her of Starline's plan, but Surge insisted on doing her own thing and that Kit followed her. Regardless, the two headed towards the comms tower as planned. Once there, Surge opted to just destroy the tower when she thought Kit's plan was too slow. As they argued, however, an Egg Breaker showed up. Agreeing to Kit's plan in the end, Surge distracted the Badniks while Kit went to work. Letting her anger fuel her, Surge ferociously attacked the Egg Beater, only to get smashed into a wall by its mace when she let her guard down. As Kit came to her rescue though, Surge noticed to her and Kit's surprise that the attack had hardly injured her. Afterward, she finished the Egg Breaker. Antons then surrounded the duo, only to begin applauding them. Starline subsequently announced that the base and its Badniks were his now and told Surge and Kit to join him in the control room. There, Surge kept Kit silent and assured Starline that everything was fine when he noticed their bruises. After being dismissed, however, Surge told Kit in private that she had realized that Starline had done something to them that they could not recall. With Surge set on sorting this out by taking a look at Starline's video logs and getting revenge on Starline, Surge asked for Kit's help, who eagerly offered it.[17]

    IS3Pre3 Surge and Kit examine Starline's files, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #3.

    Eventually, Surge and Kit managed to break into Dr. Starline's video logs. From them, they discovered how Starline had modified them and erased their memories of their past personas. Afterward, Surge wanted to know who they were before Starline modified them, but Kit could not find any information about that in the database, as Starline considered it irrelevant. When Starline then showed up in person, Surge demanded answers from him. Starline, however, instead intended to hypnotize her into submission again. Fortunately, Kit came to her aid. When Kit got paralyzed, however, Surge attacked Starline until the doctor got caught by Kit's water tentacles. Surge then stole Starline's hypnosis gauntlet and put him to sleep with it. As Kit then asked about what they would do now, Surge announced that they would end every hero and villain out there, present and future: if they could not have a past, they will make sure none of them get a future. While onboard with the idea, Kit suggested that they should use Starline's plan to gather all their targets in one place and then eliminate them all at once. Knowing Starline would be set up for a fall this way, Surge agreed. As such, when Starline awoke, Surge made him believe that he himself had told them the circumstances that led him to create them while assuring the doctor that she did not hold any grudges against him. With that out of the way, she then asked for further details on his plan. Overjoyed, Starline revealed his intent to invade Eggman's newest capital: Eggperial City.[4]

    Surge later arrived at Eggperial City with Kit and Starline, where she continued to feign her allegiance to the latter. After fighting their way through the city's Badniks, Starline split off from Surge and Kit, who were to occupy Eggman and his forces while he uploaded his override program. Though Surge still had issues with Starline, she enjoyed making as much destruction as possible. When Kit had asked her if it was okay that they were using Starline's plan against him, Surge assured him that all they were doing was justified and the only person he should be loyal to is her. Surge and Kit continued to tear through the Badniks easily until Surge got ambushed by Metal Sonic, though she liked the new challenge. Despite putting up quite a fight, Surge got overwhelmed by Metal Sonic until Kit came to her rescue by restraining Metal Sonic with his water coils before trapping him in a water bubble that Surge proceeded to electrocute, defeating the robot. As a final taunt, Surge told Metal Sonic that he will never be Sonic because she will replace him. Also, with Kit fine and happy to help, she determined that they would get along just fine. After Starline had then uploaded and broadcasted his override program to the Badniks of the world, Surge and Kit witnessed the Coconuts around them fall under Starline's control. The pair soon saw Starline be carried by Egg Pawns to Eggman's main headquarters; when Surge asked if it was everything he hoped for, Starline stated that it was a bittersweet victory. Soon, Surge and Kit watched Badniks from around the world arrive at Eggperial City. Surge told Kit that after they get rid of Starline and the others, he would have to reprogram all of the Badniks to self-destruct but also thought of leaving some for herself. She then explained, should it come down to it, she would fight Sonic alone while Kit kept Tails from distracting her. Once all of this had been taken care of, Surge plotted for herself and Kit to hunt down all of Sonic's allies and topple the cities that celebrated them together.[18]

    Battle for the Empire IDW50SonicVSurge Surge vs. Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #50.

    Surge and Kit soon got word from Orbot that Sonic and Tails had entered the city. Sticking to their plan, Surge took Sonic away while Kit engaged Tails. Isolating Sonic from his friends, Surge told Sonic of how much she hated him due to his insistence on not killing his enemies in hopes that they would turn over a new leaf. However, due to the continued antics of people like Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline, she was made without having a choice in the matter. Furthermore, she did not understand Sonic's resolve to keep fighting such enemies but not to kill them, nor did she understand why the world loved him for that. As such, she told Sonic that she would end all of it, believing it was what they all deserved. She and Sonic proceeded to fight a vicious battle, which kept both parties on their toes. During this, Sonic expressed his hopes that Surge was having fun, which angered her as they were supposed to be fighting to the death. Sonic proceeded to explain that he had been in similar situations with people who were wronged by the world and wanted to destroy it before. Surge insisted that this was who she was, and the hedgehog understood this; however, as he did not know her story, he was not in much of a position to judge and preferred to give Surge a second chance to bounce back. Surge believed this to be naivety, but Sonic explained that he is a person that lives for the moment while enjoying its thrills and adventures, and wished for everyone to have the same freedom he has; if he ended Surge's life, she would not have the opportunity to do so. However, seeing that she probably did not have much of a life in this world before being modified, Surge still saw herself as an outcast. As such, she agreed that she had the freedom to do whatever wanted. However, Sonic made it clear that if she chose to harm anybody and try to take their freedom, he would stop her. As their fight continued, it became apparent to Surge that Sonic would not give up. Surge thus tried to end Sonic, only for him to trip her and be left dangling from the edge of a giant chasm. When Sonic tried to help her get up, however, she zapped him as a final hit. Debris from up above then came crashing down, forcing Surge to fall into the chasm.[19]

    She survived the fall and broke free from the junk she was buried in just before it was crushed. She then resolved to find an edge or more power so she could take on Sonic again.[20]

    Overpowered Crawling up the garbage chute, Surge would find herself in a storage room, where she found Cubot. Looking through the boxes, Surge found Eggman's prototype Dynamo Cage. With it, it significantly boosted her already powerful electrokinesis.[21] Eggman discovered her and ordered his Egg Pawns to destroy her. This would fail as the Dynamo gave her the ability to absorb energy. Deeming Sonic more of a problem, Surge left the Eggperial City. Upon doing so, Surge discovered that the Dynamo Cage also boosted the mental conditioning Starline forced upon her, causing Surge to hallucinate the now-deceased Doctor Starline. Arguing with it momentarily, Surge rushed off to find Sonic.[3]

    Surgepoweredup Surge powered up by the Dynamo Cage, from Sonic the Hedgehog #54.

    Attacking Central City, Surge was met with Whisper the Wolf, who attempted to fend her off. This would fail as the Dynamo granted Surge the ability to absorb and steal the Wisps that powered Whisper's Variable Wispon. Whisper could only watch as four of her five Wisp allies were taken away. Sonic would draw Surge's attention with Tails pulling Whisper to the side.[3] Surge would do battle against Sonic and Tails, shooting Tails out of the sky with a Spin Dash and mocking Sonic for a leg injury he had. She was temporarily placed on the backfoot as Sonic gained access to the Cyan Laser power until she stole Whisper's Cyan Wisp and absorbed it. Surge was fed up with Sonic's 'holier-than-thou grandstanding' and chased him into a hardware store, once again insulting his ideals. She tripped over a pile of nuts and bolts and as she was getting back up, Sonic placed a bucket on her head to slow her down. Surge pursued him into the basement where she activated the Pink Spikes ability but was ambushed by Tails who placed jumper cables onto the back of the Dynamo Cage. This resulted in numerous appliances turning on at once. She told the two that this wouldn't stop her and overloaded herself, blowing up the appliances around them but also rendering her unconscious.[22]

    Surge later reawakened in Starline Base Sigma. Kitsunami brought her there after she had fallen unconscious. Just as Kit was explaining what he found, the hallucination of Doctor Starline reappeared and told her that nowhere was safe for her. She fell off of the bed in fear and backed up into a corner while the hallucination ridiculed her because she was back in Starline Base Sigma and claimed she would always be his because he shaped her mind and built her body. She broke down into tears until Kit hugged her, apologizing for leaving her. She calmed down and accepted his apology, asking that he did not do it again and promised that they would make the heroes pay.[22] Later, Surge had Kit redirect the power for the base into her, charging up the Dynamo Cage. Once all the power the base can produce was in Surge, she told Kit to be ready for a fight with Sonic and this would be their final stand. Soon, Surge saw that Eggman was in the base and tried to sneak up on him, but the Dynamo Cage's energy signature gave her away and he attacked her. She was easily able to throw off the doctor's attacks and took the Chaos Drive that was powering his Eggwalker. Eggman, taunting her, attempted to flee, but was unable to escape and just before Surge got physical with Eggman, Metal Sonic comes to his aid. Just as she recomposed herself, Sonic and Tails appeared and told her to give up the Dynamo Cage. Panicking, she refused and retreated into the rafters. Unaware that Sonic and Eggman had not yet joined forces, the thought of them working together mortified Surge all the same. She sat in a fetal position, despairingly thinking Sonic and Eggman would find other ways to hurt her and Kit no matter how strong she became. Surge eventually made it back to Kit, who had finished setting up their trap for the intruders. Despite her doubts and the new situation, she resolved to go forward with the plan she and Kit made.[23]

    Once the four intruders made it into the room Surge and Kit wanted, they revealed themselves. Sonic, now aware of what Starline had done to them, appealed to them to hand over the Dynamo Cage peacefully, but they declined, with Surge stating it was not up to him.[23] Surge proceeded to use her entire arsenal against Sonic and Metal Sonic while Kit fought Tails. As she began to be overwhelmed, she noticed Eggman trying to leave and, sensing an opportunity to take Metal out, disengaged to attack the doctor. When Metal flew in to protect Eggman, Surge grabbed Metal's leg and hit Sonic with the robot. Metal Sonic then used his Black Shield with Surge's hand inside, but Surge utilized the Dynamo Cage to drain Metal Sonic of his power, deactivating him. Surge then went back to fighting Sonic, flooding the floor of the room after breaking test tubes. Surge then tried to electrocute Sonic in the water, but he was pulled out by Eggman just in time. Sonic tried again to reason with Surge, but she was only interested in killing him, not his pity or friendship. Sonic insisted she had no reason to want him dead when Starline was not around to make her do so and begged her to be free of the platypus' influence. Surge paused, but with a resigned smile, said she could not and sent Sonic falling into the water. Tails was unable to stop Surge as she pinned Sonic down by his shoulders and electrocuted him nearly to death, railing that he did not understand that she was made to live in his shadow and could never be free as long as he lived. At that moment, the Dynamo Cage overloaded, causing the containers that held all its power and the Wisps to explode. Burnt out and with all her power gone, Surge fainted, with Sonic holding her as Tails helped him up. Eggman, desiring Surge for his own ends, instructed Metal Sonic to take her and the Dynamo Cage, but Kit intervened and pinned down everyone in the while using his hydro-coil tails to bring Surge to him. He then destroyed the room and took Surge with him to parts unknown.[24]

    Second Chances Surge and Kit stayed in Starline Base Sigma despite it having no power and them running low on food. She told Kit they needed to leave, but Kit did not know where to go since Eggman was against them and they couldn't fit into normal society. Surge yelled at him to figure it out. Surge then fell out of her bed when the base started to rumble. They ran out and assumed Eggman was back for them. The two started to destroy the machines leveling the base and before she could fight some Badniks, Rough and Tumble appeared to defend their "tech". Surge easily manhandled them and threatened to tear off Rough's tail, calling them Eggman goons. Tumble said they didn't work for Eggman; Clutch then appeared said the tech and the goons belonged to him. Surge told Kit to hold the goons and Clutch apologized, saying he thought Starline's base was vacant. He went on to explain Starline was a frequent customer of his and he provided many resources to him. Surge realized, and Clutch confirmed, he knew who Surge was and what she is. Clutch offered them to work together against Sonic, but Surge wanted to know more. Clutch explained who he was and what his business was. He offered to tell everything he knew about her and Kit in exchange for helping him take down the Restoration. Surge agreed and Kit asked how they could get close to Restoration HQ. Surge told him she had a plan.

    Surge and Kit went to Restoration HQ peacefully with Kit and asked to see Amy. She announced her and Kit wanted to turn their lives around. Amy believed her and during a lunch with her and Kit, Sonic arrived. Shocked to see them, Amy updated Sonic and Surge said he made it sound real simple for her to change her life. Surge said their last fight was a close call and it caused her and Kit to "re-prioritize" and come here to start over. Sonic was still skeptical, but welcomed them to the Restoration. Surge and Kit then went on a tour of the Restoration with Sonic and Amy. In the depot, they met Silver and Blaze where Sonic introduced Surge by saying she tried to destroy her. Surge learned that Silver and Blaze, and others, tried to destroy Sonic in the past and now they are friends as well. Surge figured that made her an honorary Restoration member like Silver and Blaze. The two said they aren't affiliated and they just like to help out. Amy told her the movement is by Volunteers and people can come and go as they please, meaning they can leave if they don't like it. Surge teased Amy was trying to get rid of her, but Amy said she is saying nobody will force her to do anything here. Surge took that fact to heart.

    They then went to the machine shop, which Surge said would be more to Kit's liking. Belle then saw Surge, which scared her. Kit whispered to Surge they were going to get that a lot, which Surge wanted. Surge then noticed the Variable Wispon she broke before. Belle protected it and said she rebuilt since then and was going to return it to Whisper. Sonic thought they should tag along so they can introduce them to the Diamond Cutters. Amy was hesitant to do that, but Surge thought it was a good idea. When they meet them, the Diamond Cutters were unamused to see them. Surge dogged Sonic to say something and Sonic said they should give them a chance to join if they wanted to. Surge reminded them they were there and didn't need to speak for them. The Diamond Cutters were cautiously optimistic for them to join, except Whisper, who outright refused. Surge was amused by Whisper's stance and swiped the Variable Wispon from Belle, handing it to Whisper. Surge told her she was the first person with any sense in the Restoration and knew she wanted to take her out right then, which Surge respected. Surge told her she might join the group just so the wolf can point her Wispon at her. Whisper reluctantly let Surge have the offer, but she would be watching her.

    Mimicteamsup Mimic teams up with Surge and Kit, Sonic the Hedgehog #67.

    Later, Surge admitted to Sonic that the Restoration was impressive and it would be a shame if someone destroyed it. Sonic said it would be a shame for what happened to the idiot who did that. Surge pointed out him and Amy aren't here all the time, but Amy said the Diamond Cutters are and security has been increased. Duo then went to them and wanted to help Surge and Kit find a place to settle down. They followed him to a room, which Surge didn't find too impressive. Duo then revealed himself as Mimic and explained Clutch told him to make contact with them. Surge asked if the Restoration had no idea they were infiltrators and Mimic said they didn't, complimenting her on her performance. Mimic explained they needed to keep up the act until Clutch sends the order. They put their hands together and Surge said she was looking forward to working with him.[25]

    Phantom Riders On the morning of the race, Mimic, now disguised as Duo, wakes up Surge and Kit. After dealing with the fallout of waking the duo up, Mimic tells the pair that Clutch has assigned them a mission; to click the button on the remote and mess up the hero's gear. Surge is unamused by the sneaky nature of the plan and would rather do something bolder. Clutch then walks in and reminds her how they were nothing until he found them, leaving Surge but no choice but to follow through with the assignment. Later in the race Surge would press the button causing Team Sonic to be disqualified.[26]

    Happy Surge Surge after defeating Phantom Rider, from Sonic the Hedgehog #70.

    Surge would hit the Phantom Rider with her Extreme Gear. Kit tries to tell Surge to stand down, but she continues by introducing herself to him and complimenting his moves during the race. She mentions how he looks like a guy who can appreciate a good thrashing. Surge punches him in the face, causing a portion of Sonic's face to be revealed. The Phantom Rider kicks her away and escapes. Surge is annoyed, wanting to have fought him. Kit tells her to stop, mentioning that Clutch hired them to stay in the race, not fight. Surge agrees reluctantly. Later on, Surge and Kit would find the crowd cheering for them for getting rid of the Phantom Rider. Surge and Kit look happy to be called heroes.[27]

    In Misty Spire Surge is once again being cheered on by the audience for her performance and begins taunting the other races in search of a real fight. Soon Nite announces to the racers to stop the Phantom Rider. Surge, Kit, and the Babylon Rogues give chase, with Surge and Jet arguing over who will be the one to take down the Phantom Rider, Whisper chases after Surge and attacks her with her Variable Wispon, only for Kit to intercept which causes a brawl. Soon the Phantom Rider would be revealed to be Sonic but the rock tower falls over, separating Sonic from the rest of them as they are forced to flee. Later on, Kit asks Surge if she is angry, to which she replies that it's complicated because of the situation has gotten ever since the Clean Sweepstakes began. A little girl comes up to Surge, praising and admiring the tenrec as well as her performance against the Phantom Rider in both rounds. The girl's mother arrives to take her away, apologizing to Surge, and telling her daughter they must leave the tenrec alone as she is very busy. The girl waves goodbye, saying she will be spiky and punch bad guys too. Surge waves back, then tells Kit she does not think she can keep doing this since she believes they do not deserve it. Despite not understanding the situation either, Kit states how being cheered for by the crowd causes oneself and the world around them to light up, and that he would do anything to see that again. Surge tells Kit that they are going to do the "hero" thing right and earn it.[28]

    Mental breakdown Surge exposes Sonic and Clean Sweep Inc., from Sonic the Hedgehog #73.

    Surge and Kit walk up to Clutch announcing they quit. Clutch bursts out laughing, causing Surge to insist that they are serious. After composing himself, Clutch explains to them that the fame Surge and Kit are experiencing does not belong to them, and that, depending on his needs, he can make them monsters just as easily as he made them heroes. He tells them that they still get glory, fame, and the opportunity to be violent now and then so long as they maintain appearances. Clutch also states that he has a "hedgehog problem," and orders Surge to destroy the Phantom Rider the next time she faces him. Later, on the deck of the Battleship, Surge, enraged over being told what she can do, uses her powers to shoot large amounts of electricity into the sky. On the deck of the Restoration shuttle, Surge laments the fact that no matter what she and Kit do, someone is always controlling them, be it Starline or Clutch. Kit comforts her with a hug, stating that he has a plan.[29]

    Surge preparing Surge preparing for the final phase of their plan from, Sonic the Hedgehog #74

    The final race of Clean Sweepstakes begins when suddenly Phantom Rider appears, when Surge and Kit blast through the crowed when Surge tries to run into him, but he does it when suddenly Surge jumps from her Hang-On and knocks him off the Eggstreme Gear after trying to taunt her while Kit grapes her using his Hydro Pack tails. Nite announces a halt in the race, saying that everyone is going after the Phantom Rider with Surge and Kit who Surge manages to grab on to his Eggstreme Gear and is stopped by Tangle who grabs her with her tail when Surge until she zaps her and tells her to not get in her way while the Phantom Rider continues to taunt her saying their fights aren't it. The Phantom Rider launches at her while Surges also blast towards him and Surges gets knocked by the collision when after she laughs at him saying she got the device turning the Phantom Rider back to Sonic while Kit ask Surge is she's okay and she replies saying she's fine and did not ask any stupid questions. Sonic then asks her what the game, and Surge shouts while saying that she is following order and asks her boss if he is happy, that she "destroyed" the Phantom Rider, exposing Clean Sweep Inc. as a criminal organization.[30] Later on, after Nite broadcasted the crimes of Clean Sweep and exposed Clutch Surge explains this to the other racers and soon after Surge informs Lanolin that Sonic left and watch's the Diamond Cutters along with the Babylon Rouges. After Surge asks Mimic what he's going to do, and he decides to stay undercover, and help the Diamond Cutters when Kit says how they could've taken care of him there and now when Surge reminds him that they're following his plan which Surge says the next step Clutch.[31]

    Surge and Kit deny Sonic's help Surge and Kit decline Sonic's help, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Soon, Surge and Kit arrive to the shuttle and join the fight, with the former reminding Clutch that they quit. While they charge at each other, Clutch angrily orders his guards to fight, only for them to quit as well, leaving the opossum to fend for himself. The opossum gets on top of a nearby cannon, causing Surge to taunt him over the lack of controls available. Clutch is able to open fire via a remote controller hidden in his pocket, although Surge and Kit are pulled away from the blast by Sonic aboard his Eggstreme Gear. Despite sharing the same enemy, Surge refuses Sonic's help, claiming that it is her and Kit's fight. Their arguing is interrupted by a blast from Clutch's cannon that knocks the three of them to the ground. While Clutch gloats and plans to escape using the Eggstreme Gear, it suddenly transforms into a battle robot with a monitor that has Dr. Eggman's face on it. Now in full control of the Eggstreme Gear, he charges at Clutch and grabs him, introducing himself to the opossum and admonishing him for his mockery and use of the Eggman Empire's property for his own gain. Eggman attempts to blow Clutch up with missiles, only for Sonic to intervene, remarking that this was not part of the deal. As they continue fighting, Sonic demands that Clutch apologize and fix his mess, tackling him to the ground while Eggman grabs Sonic. Surge then charges up and releases a massive blast of electricity known as Over Charge on the three of them, which manages to knock Clutch out cold but also wear Surge herself out. However, Eggman reveals he built the Eggstreme Gear to be resistant to Surge's powers and picks up the unconscious Clutch. Sonic, still recovering from the blast, asks what Eggman is planning, to which he answers that it is just business and nothing for Sonic to worry about before flying away with Clutch. Before she and Kit depart on their Extreme Gear, Surge reminds Sonic that they still are not friends and urges him to survive so she can finish him off in a fair fight.[32]

    Hero's Calling Surge and Kit starting their new future Surge and Kit deciding to start a new future, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2024.

    In downtown Westopolis, Surge and Kit are running down a street trying to save a train from spiraling out of control when Surge says how she thought the driver was going at a fun speed when the driver yells saying how the brakes are out when Surge tells Kit to uses his tails from his Hydro Pack to grab the train and slow it down. Kit obeys but the train manages to pull him as well and Surge talking to herself saying how he had one job when suddenly she hears a toot and realizes the train is heading towards a marching Chao marching band and Surge rushes downhill saying how the delicate approach is boring anyway. Soon she hits the car to tilt it to avoid the Chao while Kit pulls it and holding civilians. Surge then gloats about their victory saying theirs's no need for applause when an angry citizen says how he might have broken his wrist because of her. In response Surge ask if he wants a broken neck when the citizen responds saying how she could've crippled everyone in there when Surge says how he could've jumped and save himself.

    Another citizen tells her to not mind him and thanks them for their efforts when they leave to go to the doctor. The other citizen talks about Surge's speed while the other says how she's still no Sonic the Hedgehog causing Surge to grow angry. Later on, Surge is bouncing a ball when Kit walks in and notices how she is in the same place he left her in and ask what's wrong and in response Surge says nothing. Kit then asks if she's sick, has a headache or tummy ache and Surge responds with no. Then Kit asks if she's mad at him to Surge responds telling him to calm down when Kit says how she looks mad at him with Surge saying she isn't but is annoying her to Kit saying he's sorry.

    Surge then says how she's been thinking, and when Kit asks her what it is, Surge says he's not going to like it. Kit reassures her, saying he will, and Surge says how Starline was right. When Kit asks in what regard, Surge explains that Starline was right about the whole "Sonic Cycle" thing and how it's an endless repeat of Eggman causing trouble and Sonic stopping him. She further goes on to say how Sonic keeps letting it happen and nothing will never change, mentioning what happened to Restoration HQ and how they could've walked out and saved themselves. Surge then says how they're not bad people, but they're just lame, stupid and weak, noting that they can't be angry at the world when it did nothing to them. Kit agrees and asks about Sonic and Tails when Surge says how she's going to end Sonic the first chance she gets and says how Kit can end Tails and asks Surge then asks if he still wants him gone when Kit responds saying how he's a liar and how he hates him and tells him he can as a treat. Surge then says otherwise they will ruin Eggman's plans and soak up the hero worship and love them for loving themselves.

    Kit then asks what if they finish Eggman off too, and Surge says how she did not think that far and will cross that bridge when they come to it. Kit thinks to himself when Surge interrupts and sees him smiling saying how he likes the plan and Surge say how new heroes are taking over whether they like it or not.[33]

    Personality Look, I get you brainy-types like to think of all the angles. But me and that faker boy are simple creatures. I hit him fast, I hit him hard, and I keep hitting until he doesn't move anymore. — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #1 Originally, her personality was unknown before being hypnotized by Starline.

    Surge possesses Sonic's indomitable and free spirit, albeit in a twisted and sinister way.[15] She is a roguish speedster with an arrogant, cocky, and hot-tempered disposition, taking great pride in her prowess and bragging at any given opportunity.[15] She is also fearless and bold, rarely showing any form of worry or concern, even in situations that are troublesome or possibly beyond her capabilities. When push comes to shove, however, she tends to give in to anger, causing her to become a more volatile force.[17]

    IS3SurgeResolve Surge's new resolve, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #3.

    Believing force to be the answer to everything, Surge is convinced that she can defeat any opponent and overcome any obstacle getting in her way with pure strength and speed.[15][17] She is likewise brutal, somewhat bloodthirsty, and highly aggressive, expressing great eagerness to fight and cause chaos and destruction. When working with Dr. Starline, she would persistently demand to go on missions and even grab him by the collar, threatening him when unable to get her way.[15] Surge prefers open conflict over covert plans, no matter how effective the latter might be. Notably, she would willingly abandon a plan focusing on stealth in favor of an open assault, assured that she would be able to defeat any attention she would attract, even while in enemy territory.[17] She is likewise fiercely independent and irreverent to authority, much like Sonic, meaning she prefers to do things her own way. As such, she is perfectly willing to abandon a well-thought-out plan in favor of following her own whims. Unlike Sonic, however, she shows little to no concern for any negative consequences her roguish behavior may have on herself or others.[17] Despite this, she is willing to listen to others' ideas when she admits that she does not really have much of a plan of her own to proceed with, which makes her more open to suggestions from Kit.[4]

    Like Sonic, Surge shows a great deal of attitude when facing off against foes, namely by taunting and mocking them. However, this is out of mean-spirited arrogance and malice as opposed to the carefree playfulness Sonic demonstrates. She is likewise brash, careless, and impatient, which are qualities that stem from her explosive temperament and sense of superiority, unlike Sonic, whose same qualities stem from his positive attitude and confidence. As such, she is prone to facing everything head-on, making her extremely reckless and dependent on support from Kit (despite what she may believe).[15][17] Her temperament is most likely influenced by the psychological trauma caused by excessive exposure to hypnosis.[4] She also hates being deceived and will seek out terrible retribution against those who have wronged her, although this is more out of personal vengeance than a sense of justice.[17] Furthermore, Surge is rather petty, zapping Sonic at the end of her first fight with him just to get the last hit despite his attempt to save her from falling.[19]

    For all her roughness, Surge has a slightly vulnerable side to her; upon discovering that her current persona was fabricated, she despaired and even shed tears of sadness. However, this sadness would soon pave way for anger and hatred at everyone and drive her to destroy everything, convinced that if she cannot have a past, then others should not be able to have a future, showing herself to be very spiteful.[4] When the Dynamo Cage caused her to hallucinate Starline talking down to her, she became scared and cried over reliving the trauma Starline caused her, only to stop after being comforted by Kit. Surge also has developed a tendency to doubt herself when plans do not go her way, internally fearing that the world will never stop trying to hurt her and Kit.[23] Surge has come to the conclusion that the world has abandoned her, or that nothing good had happened in her life since she ended up serving Dr. Starline, which has intensified her goal to destroy everything in her path as part of her revenge on Sonic, it wasn’t until during the Sweepstakes challenge when she and Kit got applause for stopping the Phantom Rider and began to realize the true meaning of being a hero.

    Despite her punkish attitude and overall simple-mindedness, Surge does have her moments of insight. She was able to deduce that her own thoughts did not add up to her own understandings and that Starline had something to do with them by realizing that he was in the center of them all.[17]

    Powers and abilities IS2Surge Surge battling the Egg Breaker, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #2.

    Having been modified by Dr. Starline with cybernetic enhancements, Surge possesses a multitude of powers derived from Power Cores, the bio data of Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Neo Metal Sonic, and physical resilience derived from the Metal Virus.[4]

    As a result of her cybernetic enhancements, combined with electromagnetic propulsion, Surge can move at super speeds, having claimed to be as fast as light.[19] Her speed is great enough that she can create a sonic boom and keep up with Sonic.[15][4] Due to the cellular upgrades provided by the Metal Virus, she also possesses tremendous durability, having withstood an otherwise lethal impact from the Egg Breaker with nothing more than superficial bruises.[17][4] She is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where she curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs herself at her targets. With it, Surge can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed, and perform moves like the Spin Dash.[15][17][4]

    Surge vs Sonic Surge clashing equally against Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #50.

    As an offset of her electromagnetic propulsion, Surge has the ability to generate electricity of varying intensity and project it as small lightning bolts or sparks. Notably, she can generate enough electricity to ignite flora and cause various electricity-powered devices to overload.[16][15] Furthermore, by spinning like a top, she can increase the power of the electricity she generates.[18] She can as well surround herself with an aura of electricity to attack her enemies.[19] In terms of physical ability, Surge is extraordinarily powerful, having been able to challenge and clash with powerful fighters such as Sonic[19], and Metal Sonic even if at a disadvantage, and defeat Super Badniks[18] with Kit's help. She's also extremely agile, navigating Starline's obstacle courses and performing acrobatic leaps during her battle with Sonic.

    Surge can even charge herself up to unleash a massive bolt of electricity that can be targeted to multiple people at once known as Over Charge.[34]

    Equipment Surge Dynamo Cage Wisps Surge channeling the Hyper-go-on of multiple Wisps using the Dynamo Cage.

    Upon obtaining the Dynamo Cage, Surge gained even more power. This manifested as shields, and significantly boosted strength. She also gained much greater control over electricity, allowing her to create large electromagnetic fields, magnetically levitate multiple large objects at once, and even travel as a bolt of lightning as if she were teleporting or flying. Another power added was the ability to absorb Wisps and gain their powers. When this happens, Surge produces a glow in the color of the absorbed Wisp. When the Dynamo Cage was starting to overload, multiple Wisp colors were shown at the same time.[24] Using these powers, Surge has generated a barrier of cubes around herself using Blue Cube, along with making cube platforms, conjured energy buzz saws to her hands using Pink Spike, float with Green Hover, blasted at high speeds with Orange Rocket, and fired laser beams from her eyes using Cyan Laser.

    Weakness As a part of Dr. Starline's precautions to keep Surge's bravado on a leash, Surge has been made highly susceptible to hypnosis in case she goes out of control. As such, she is quick to respond to Starline's commands and lose some of her most recent memories when exposed to Starline's hypnotic devices. However, her memories cannot be completely erased. In addition, over time, she has begun developing a resistance to this effect.[15][4]

    After gaining the Dynamo Cage, due to its amplification of her brain functions, Surge has begun to hallucinate apparitions of Doctor Starline, which criticize her actions and commonly distract her from the task at hand.

    Relationships Dr. Starline SurgePretendsIS4 Surge feigning her loyalty to Starline, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #4.

    Starline's glove. There's no way he'd let it go, unless... huh. I guess Eggman was more than he could handle. I'm finally free... right? Doesn't matter. He was weak and I can do better. I will. I will get out of this. I'll get better, stronger... and do more than Starline could even imagine. — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog #52 Dr. Starline is the one who turned Surge into who she is now, being responsible for her enhancements, her current memories, and her blatant hatred of Sonic. However, she was completely unaware of this fact due to her memories having been fabricated from scratch by Starline. Instead, Surge thought that Starline merely gave her the powers she currently wields for the purpose of destroying Sonic.[15][17][4]

    Being as brash and impatient as she is, Surge did not like Starline's overcautious approach towards realizing their goals and would not hesitate to threaten him violently when she got fed up with his behavior.[15] She similarly did not respect his instructions due to her independence, having noted that he "ain't the boss of [her]". Rather, she saw him as the tech support and "idea-guy", a type of person she considers expendable.[17]

    Upon realizing that he had done more to her than she has realized, Surge began mistrusting Starline's intentions and seeking to make him pay for what he had done to her.[17] After getting the answers she sought, Surge wanted to destroy Starline for what he had done to her. However, after getting a suggestion from Kit, she decided she wanted to see to see him fall from grace after all the hard work he had put into her by betraying him when the time is right.[4]

    IDW55CoverRIraw Surge hallucinates about Starline, from Sonic the Hedgehog #55

    Later, a hallucination of Starline, who had perished after being defeated by Eggman, would appear before Surge after she equipped the Dynamo Cage. Surge has consistently shown pure fear in the face of this hallucination because of how it torments her, showing just how much trauma the doctor had inflicted upon her and continued to inflict even after his demise. She was ready to throw the Dynamo Cage off of her just to get rid of this hallucination until he brought up how weak she would be without it.[3]

    Kitsunami the Fennec Surge and Kit Surge and Kit, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #4.

    Every dirty deed we do today is justified, little man. The only person you should ever be loyal to...is me! — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog: Imposter Syndrome #4 Kitsunami the Fennec is Surge's partner, the two of them having been modified to make up for each other's shortcomings, with Kit, in particular having designed to support Surge with his analytical mind. However, their original partnership is nothing but a farce, as both Surge and Kit have been programmed with false memories and motivations for helping each other by Starline in order to make their teamwork more effective. As such, when they think closely about it, both Surge and Kit are unsure and confused about why they even care about each other and why they are compelled to help each other out.[15]

    In contrast to the tight-knit, brotherly dynamic between Sonic and Tails, Surge and Kit are connected by a much stiffer bond. Kit is generally polite and formal when speaking to Surge, addressing her as "ma'am". He is also extremely subservient towards her, stating that whatever she wants is also what he wants, and will do anything to support and please her, becoming highly distressed when any kind of harm befalls her. Although Surge does not necessarily care about his attention and kindness, she will occasionally show appreciation for Kit's devotion to her, especially in combat, as well as a level of respect for his intelligence. Most of the time, though, Surge tends to express dominance over Kit with her bravado and feisty spirit, which often causes him to shrink back in fear and apologize, and expects him to cover her when needed and be nothing more than her tactical support unit. In other situations, she simply does not listen to him or heed his warnings, believing she can handle everything herself.[15][17]

    Surge and Kit eventually began forming a closer bond in their quest for answers about their past. After learning about how Starline had used and manipulated them and that her relationship with Kit was entirely artificial, Surge nonetheless remained dominant over Kit as she needed him to get answers about her past. When Surge later decided to destroy everyone they deemed guilty for taking away their past, Kit went along with her idea, although he came up with a plan that would let them take advantage of Starline. Ironically, this allowed them to form a more authentic bond based on their shared hatred for their newfound enemies. During this period, Surge becomes less aggressive when speaking to Kit and shows a more vulnerable side of herself around him.[4] An example of this is seen when Surge is brought back to Starline Base Sigma following her and Kit's confrontation with Sonic and Tails in Central City: Surge was hugged and comforted by Kit when she experienced traumatic hallucinations of Starline, and she would pat him on the head while assuring him that they would get revenge on their enemies.[22]

    Sonic the Hedgehog IDW50CoverCraw Surge facing Sonic in Eggperial City, from Sonic the Hedgehog #50.

    You don't get it! I was built to live in your shadow. It's in my blood, my bones, my brain. There is no freedom for me...NOT WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE! — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog #56 Sonic the Hedgehog was the primary inspiration behind Surge's cybernetic enhancements, which was why Dr. Starline modified her with powers similar to his and made her believe after dozens of different hypnotic sessions that she hated Sonic with all of her heart and wanted to destroy him.[15][4] However, she would come close to having a mental breakdown when she began to question why she wanted to defeat Sonic, as they had never actually met.[15] However, once she discovered who she was, she gained a genuine hatred for Sonic, finding him responsible by proxy for her existence as a cyborg due to Sonic's refusal to take the lives of his enemies.[19]

    Utterly convinced that she is Sonic's superior,[17] Surge wants nothing more than to crush Sonic and prove her superiority to him, and will become furious at the prospect of appearing weaker than him.[15][17] After learning the truth about her origins as a cyborg, however, Surge now seeks to destroy Sonic, not because of Starline's hypnosis, but rather because she does not believe he deserves a future if she cannot know her past.[4]

    When the time came for her and Sonic to finally meet, she vented her frustration towards him that her existence was based on the fact that Sonic simply lets the foes he defeats live and eventually come back to cause more trouble, yet the whole world loves him for it nonetheless. Furthermore, she ended up rejecting all his attempts to make them friends and would grow even more furious when Sonic disregarded her and the gravity of the situation. At one point, she got knocked down and beckoned him to finish her off. Sonic, however, refused and stated that he simply wanted everyone to live life freely like he does and asked Surge to do the same. At first, Surge seemed to consider his offer, but Surge saw it as his permission to destroy the entire world in anger. Even when Surge was at risk of falling into a chasm and Sonic offered a brief truce in order to pull her up and save her life, she pettily shocked him and remarked she got the last hit in before falling into the chasm. The experience has only left Surge desiring to get more power so she could finally kill Sonic.[19] She attacked more recklessly in subsequent fights against Sonic, using the Dynamo Cage and Wisp powers against him without regarding her own safety or the safety of others.[22] Despite multiple pleas by Sonic to change her ways, Surge has refused to back down on her mission to kill Sonic, believing she will never be free as long as he is alive.[24]

    It wasn’t until during the Sweepstakes challenge when she and Kit got applause for stopping the Phantom Rider and began to realize the true meaning of being a hero.

    Dr. Eggman IDW53Pre1 Surge's first encounter with Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog #53.

    You genius types never know when to shut up, do ya? Maybe you'll stop once I knock your teeth in. — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog #55 Surge is also highly antagonistic towards Dr. Eggman and wishes to eliminate him along with Sonic. She views him and his constant conflicts with Sonic as a large part of the reason for her existence due to the fact that Sonic never takes the doctor's life after defeating him, allowing him to repeatedly concoct his evil schemes.[19] Compared to Sonic, Surge seems to treat Eggman and his property with even less respect and more arrogance, as indicated by her treatment of Metal Sonic after defeating him as well as when she stole the Dynamo Cage to use it in her own way.[18][21] She is also much more aggressive and threatening in her confrontations against Eggman than Sonic is, having tackled him to the ground on multiple occassions.[3][23] At the same time, she is aware of the might Eggman possesses, as she quickly deduced from the sight of Starline's lost glove that Eggman was more than the platypus could handle.[21]

    Initially, Eggman does not seem to think much of Surge despite her association with Dr. Starline, simply calling her a "pesky speedster" and casually ordering his Egg Pawns to gun her down, but eventually starts to view her as a bigger threat after witnessing her use the Dynamo Cage's power against him.[18][3] This angered Eggman since she was not using the Dynamo the way it was supposed to be used, but also piqued his curiosity about the cybernetic enhancements given to her by Starline. As such, he was willing to raid Starline Base Sigma, a base she had taken over, and temporarily team up with Sonic and Tails just to reclaim his stolen device and attempt to capture Surge for his own personal gain.[22][23][24]

    Whisper the Wolf Finally! You're the first to show any sense around here. I can tell you want to take me out here and now. I like you. Maybe I will join your little club. You can aim that Wisp-flinger at the back of my head all day if you want. I don't blame you. I encourage you. — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog #67 This section requires an expansion.

    Surge confronted Whisper in battle in a city, during which she stole Whisper's Wisps with her Dynamo Cage. This greatly angered and upset Whisper, as the Wisps were the only remnants of her fallen team, and the feeling would only worsen as Whisper's Wispon was broken in the battle. After Surge and Kit joined the Restoration, Whisper continued to harbor a grudge and refused to trust them. Surge even expressed delight at Whisper's hatred, thinking she was the only one with common sense and encouraged her to aim her "Wisp-flinger" at her all day.

    Clutch puts Surge and kit in their places Clutch telling Surge and Kit to know their place, from Sonic the Hedgehog #72.

    Clutch the Opossum First Starline, now Clutch... No matter what we do, someone's always controlling us. — Surge the Tenrec, Sonic the Hedgehog #72 Clutch the Opossum offered Surge and Kit to join in exchange for him telling everything he knows about them, in which they agreed. Both Surge and kit followed Clutch's orders, such as infiltranting in the Restoration and sabotaging Sonic, Tails and Amy's Extreme Gears during the first event of the Clean Sweepstakes race. However, after getting a new reputation as "heroes" for chasing the Phantom Rider away and finding out his identity, the pair decided they didn't deserve any of this and decided to give up what they're doing. But when they came to Clutch to claim they quit. the latter just laughed, explaining to them that the fame Surge and Kit are experiencing does not belong to them, and that he can make them monsters just as easily as he made them heroes, and just orders them to destroy the Phantom Rider.

    With this, Surge started to hold a huge grudge over Clutch, seeing he is controlling Kit and her just like Starline. But following Kit's plan, Surge exposed his dirty plan as she exposed the Phantom Rider, yelling live that the latter was destroyed, just like he asked. The pair later go down to the shuttle and fight him, claiming they are done with his services.

24. #24Antoine D'Cooletteconstantselective

    Keys: Ex-husband character, Antoine D'Coolette.

    Antoine D'Coolette is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is an English/French-speaking mobian coyote, and a faithful and longtime member of the Freedom Fighters, serving as a part of the Team Fighters subdivision. He also is a skilled swordsman, as well as an active pilot. Originally an apprentice sent to Mobotropolis, Antoine was among the few to escape to Knothole Village during Dr. Eggman's invasion. Antoine had attempted to be the brave soldier of the Freedom Fighters, but failed due to his skittish and cowardly nature. However, Bunnie Rabbot showed him to never give up, which allowed Antoine to discover a new source of bravery for himself, and the two, after seeing that they needed each other, got married. Since then, Antoine has been serving as one of the primary members of the Freedom Fighters.

    Appearance Antoine is a brown-furred mobian coyote about a meter tall with sky blue eyes and pale-yellow fur on his front torso and muzzle with cheek turfs that point upwards. He has short neatly combed blond hair on his head, pointy ears with pale yellow colored-canals, a black nose and freckles on his muzzle, and a tail. For attire, he wears red boots with white cuffs and a white buckle at the front, and two light gray sword straps that connect on his chest, forming a "X"-shape. He also wears white-colored gloves with red cuffs and golden cufflinks, and a white-colored belt with a single red stripe and a blue buckle with a symbol connecting the straps, where it holds his sword's gray and golden scabbard. As a child, Antoine had a similar appearance, but he also wore a red beret. He originally had jet-black eyes.

    History Past SCO LLS Antoine Coup Antoine escaping Mobotropolis during the Eggman Invasion, from Sonic Super Digest #8.

    Antoine was born into a subsidiary noble family in Eurish.[2] As a young boy, he was an apprentice that was sent by his father to the city of Mobotropolis for the apprentice exchange program, feeling honored to be at the grand city of Mobotropolis. Antoine was among the few that escaped to Knothole Village during Dr. Eggman's invasion. Antoine had then attempted to protect and swoon the likes of Princess Sally Acorn, but both had failed because Antoine was too scared. He eventually met Bunnie Rabbot, who showed him to never stop trying, no matter what casualty (physically and emotionally). Later on, Antoine, along with Bunnie, joined Sally's ragtag team, the Freedom Fighters, and Antoine and Bunnie became close companions during the conflicts between the Freedom Fighters and the forces of the Eggman Empire. Eventually, Antoine gained the courage to propose to Bunnie, admitting that it was scariest thing he's ever committed.[4] The couple enjoyed happiness but also experienced sorrow, such as when Nicole informed them that Antoine's parents had died after faithful service to the Kingdom of Acorn.[5]

    Antoine during Lupe's past Antoine attempting to defend Sally and Lupe, from Sonic the Hedgehog #277.

    At some point in the past, Lupe the Wolf's village was invaded by Dr. Eggman's forces. Thankfully, Antoine, Sonic and Sally came to her aid. When Sonic ran off to follow and defeat Dr. Eggman, Antoine attempted to defend Sally and Lupe, but Lupe, both encouraged by Sally's words and enraged by her own loss, took Antoine's sword and successfully destroyed an approaching Motobug.[6]

    Countdown to Chaos Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where Antoine's original timeline ended. Antoine Remember Antoine stands in horror as memories from the unaltered world race through his mind, from Sonic the Hedgehog #254.

    Antoine had decided to protect Charles the Hedgehog while the scientist was investigating the recent tremors and mysterious gas from the tremors at the Wood Zone near Knothole Village. When Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower came by to search and restore Antoine's memories of his previous life, Antoine and Ben Muttski had returned from Knothole, only for Sonic and Tails to gleefully embrace Antoine after the soldier nearly died in the previous timeline. Sonic and Tails managed to get Antoine alone so they could give the soldier Nicole in her handheld form, that way Antoine's memory could be restored, as well as Nicole being partially returned to normal. Upon given Nicole, Antoine was shocked and nearly fell unconscious due to his saddening experiences in the old world. Sonic and Tails tried to explain things to Antoine, such as how he was brave and that he survived, but Antoine hushed them, asking the whereabouts of his wife.[7]

    After he was given time to process all of the new information he received, Antoine decided to go with Sonic and Tails to rescue Bunnie, who was undercover in the Metropolis Zone at the time. Suddenly, a earthquake occurred and the nearby tremor expanded, swallowing Uncle Chuck and Muttski, along with their research. Antoine, Sonic, and Tails quickly saved Uncle Chuck and Mutsski, as Tails carried the two individuals with Antoine cleared the way of falling debris. Sonic managed to grab the research, and, thanks to Antoine, was able to reach back to the surface again. Antoine had decided to stay and escort Uncle Chuck and Muttski back to Spagonia while Sonic and Tails would go save Bunnie. He asked the two that if they see Bunnie, "[he] is well, but [he] will not be whole until [he is] with her again."[7]

    Later on, Sonic and Tails arrived at the Sky Patrol with Bunnie where Antoine, who had just woke up after escorting Uncle Chuck and Muttski, greeted Bunnie, waiting for Sonic and Tails to give Nicole to Bunnie so he can be with her again. Bunnie held Nicole's handheld system and was gifted her old memories, to which Antoine was there with her on her own emotional breakdown.[8] Eventually, after Sonic and Tails managed to find Sally, Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese, Antoine was present on watching Sally's and Amy's memories restored. However, that was cut short when Nicole, who was completely restored, revealed that the multiverse had collapsed upon itself, resulting the planet to break apart into pieces.[9]

    Shattered World Crisis Act One In the first hours of the Shattered World Crisis, the Freedom Fighters had traveled to Station Square to rescue the civilians from meeting their ultimate doom. Antoine was stationed among the Team Fighters faction, whose prime mission is to save as many lives as possible. During their rescue mission, Bunnie and Antoine discuss on how they remember saving people from Station Square in the old timeline, but they do not in the new timeline, resulting in both of them confused. However, Sonic managed to get them focused back on the primary mission. Luckily, G.U.N. forces managed to arrive and take over the Freedom Fighters' rescue mission.[10] Eventually, the Freedom Fighters traveled to Soleanna Forest Zone to catch the Bullet Train, which was holding both Uncle Chuck and Professor Dillon Pickle captive. Antoine, piloting the Twister, did not partake on the rescue mission, but rather provided air support. However, when Dragonfly Badniks were released, Antoine and Tails (who was piloting the Tornado) were caught in a Badnik attack, to which Bunnie was sent to help destroy the Badniks.[11] Luckily, Bunnie, Tails, and Antoine were able to destroy the Badniks, and provided a lift for the other Freedom Fighters when they successfully managed to rescue Uncle Chuck and Professor Pickle.[12]

    StH 262 NFF Destroying Robots Antoine, Sally, Tails, and Nicole destroying the robots at the mining site, from Sonic the Hedgehog #262.

    It was then revealed that Gaia Temples and Chaos Emeralds are essential items needed to restore the planet to normal.[12] Thus, Sally had assigned Sonic, Amy, and Rotor the Walrus to find a Gaia Temple near the South Ocean, while she, Tails, Nicole, and Antoine would go to a mining site near the continent of Northamer said to hold a Chaos Emerald. They manage to hack inside the mining site,[13] only for them to find a crystal cave at the end of the trail. Sally is amazed at the place, to which Antoine comments that if Eggman were to not send the wrong robots, this area would have not existed anymore. Tails returns with the Emerald, only for Sally to change their plans, as she wants Eggman to know that they were there.[14] Thus, the four Freedom Fighters had destroyed every Badnik that came across their way. However, they were ambushed by an E-1000 robot, which the heroes were able to destroy easily. With an emerald at hand, the Freedom Fighters were one step closer on returning the planet to the way it was.[3]

    Eventually, Antoine and Bunnie traveled to Harbor Heights at Soumerca, where they traced a Chaos Emerald signature reading. However, they were unsuccessful at finding the emerald, claiming that it was only an energy shadow, but they managed to save a newlywed couple.[15] Eventually, Nicole intercepted another Chaos Emerald at Northamer. Sally had requested Antoine and Bunnie to head with her to Sand Hill Zone where they would find and steal the Chaos Emerald. At Sand Hill Zone, the three Freedom Fighters carefully attempted to grab the emerald, only to get ambushed by E-108 Iota, E-109 Kappa, and E-110 Lambda.[16] He, Sally, and Bunnie then experienced trouble attempting to steal the emerald while the three E-100 Series robots were in their way. Although Team Freedom came to help Team Fighters, they were still unsuccessful at grabbing the emerald, as the capsule the emerald was sealed transformed into a rocket and launched itself to somewhere unknown. Thanks to the help of Cream the Rabbit and Big the Cat, both Team Freedom and Team Fighters barely escaped from the three super Badniks, giving the heroes injuries and a loss to the hunt of the Chaos Emeralds, though they were encouraged by Sonic upon his return from training with Moss the Sloth to master his Werehog form.[17]

    Another Chaos Emerald surfaced in the Chaos Emerald Championship, though only Sonic, Amy, and Tails were able to enter the tournament. Prior to departing, Sonic shared his history with Breezie the Hedgehog and his other misadventures, something Antoine noted with a smirk that he might enjoy those stories, leading to a gentle reprimand from Bunnie.[18] The D'Coolettes and their other friends thus enjoyed watching the tournament on TV,[19] with Antoine rooting for Knuckles the Echidna over Sonic in the finals.[20] Afterwards, he and Bunnie went on a scouting mission-along with Sonic and Amy-away from the Sky Patrol.[21][22]

    Antoine VS Dark Gaia Titan Antoine pries a Master Emerald shard from a Gaia Titan, from Sonic the Hedgehog #272.

    Antoine later accompanied Sonic and their new friend Chip on a mission to Apotos, where they caught as they battled a patrol of Badniks. They then met the sage Gregorius and learned of the Gaia Gate and Gaia Keys. The pair-with Sonic in Werehog form-were then forced to battle several Dark Gaia Creatures led by a Dark Gaia Titan. Fortunately, Bunnie arrived with Amy and Knuckles to aid the pair, and they discovered that a shard of the broken Master Emerald had become embedded in the Titan's chest. Antoine managed to pry it free and was sent flying, and caught by his wife. Now armed with information that would help them locate the Gaia Keys and thus access the temples, the group returned to the Sky Patrol.[23] They then proceeded to Crystal Desert Zone to meet up with a G.U.N. unit who had recovered a Chaos Emerald, only to find them the victims of an attack launched by Metal Sonic. Fortunately, Antoine and his teammates were able to help the soldiers, and Sonic returned with the Emerald.[24]

    Worlds Unite Following Sonic's disappearance, Antoine and his teammates were called back to Mobotropolis to defend it from the attacking M'egga Man. Unfortunately, the heroes and their ally Gemerl proved to be no match for the corrupted Mega Man. His mission to set up one of Sigma's Unity Engines proved successful, linking Sonic's World and Mega Man's World leading to meetings between the Freedom Fighters and Robot Masters of that world. Joined by the Maverick Hunters and Team Sticks, the heroes made their way aboard the Sky Patrol in order to take the fight to the enemy.[25][26] They soon set their course for the Lost Hex, and along the way Antoine found a fellow swordsman in Zero of the Maverick Hunters.[27]

    Unfortunately, the pair would be forced to wield their swords against an army of Mechaniloids assembled by Sigma, and then against each other when the Deadly Six took control of the heroes' robotics, including Bunnie's.[27][28] Unlikely allies Eggman and Dr. Wily managed to free the victimized heroes, but Antoine and his friends were then forced to face Sigma's Maverick army.[29] Fortunately, the heroes of the world of Street Fighter arrived to help the heroes fight off a handful of the villains. As part of a plan formulated by Sally and inspired by Sticks the Badger, the heroes then split into smaller groups to follow the Mavericks and recruit new allies.[30] Eventually the small army of allies launched a massive attack on Sigma, and managed to destroy his defenses. However, he then unveiled the mighty Sigma-3 form, which Super Sonic and Super Armor Mega Man were forced to challenge.[31] Xander Payne's actions later erased the conflict from history, returning Antoine and all the others to their previous places with only vague memories of what had transpired.[32]

    Act Two Antoine later joined Big and Sonic on a mission to Shamar, where they sought to protect one of the Gaia Key Guardians from the local Egg Army. This would force them into an alliance with the Desert Raiders.[33][34] Antoine then traveled to Yurashia alongside other Freedom Fighters to assist the Shijin Warriors in saving another key guardian from the Egg Clan Army and the corrupted Gaia Phoenix.[35][36]

    Personality Antoine was described as a skittish and conceited soldier when he first arrived to Mobotropolis. Ashamed of himself, he would try to mask his cowardice with a facade of bravado and confidence, but to no avail.[4] However, after meeting Bunnie, he slowly grew more confidence with her on his side, and has since grown into a dutiful, valiant soldier who does his best to save innocent lives. There are still moments where he manages to be in vain and easily become frightened and anxious,[3] but these are far and few in between, and he is quick to put his fears aside when necessary. Speaking both French and English, he struggles occasionally with the latter, particularly during intense situations, and will sometimes use an incorrect word.

    Apart from his wife Bunnie and his duties as a member of the Freedom Fighters, Antoine's greatest passion seems to be cooking.

    Antoine has envied Sonic the Hedgehog's cool attitude, courage, and superior fighting abilities over the years, and puts on bravado not unlike the Hedgehog's in battle while enjoying any opportunity to be amused as Sonic's expense. Antoine often thinks of Sonic as his rival, despite that being too high of an opinion of himself.

Years later, Bunnie revealed to Antoine that he had inspired her with his own courage, and the comradery between the two blossomed into romance, and the two were eventually married.[4] Upon having his memories of the original timeline restored, Antoine's first thought was of his wife, and he went to great lengths to be with her at the time of her own memory restoration, knowing that she would need support.[9]

25. #25Knuckles the Echidnaconstantselective

    Keys: Hero character, Knuckles the Echidna.

    Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ Nakkuruzu za Ekiduna?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic echidna and the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient gemstone which is kept on Angel Island. Guarding it is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it, as well as the sole surviving descendant of the echidna race from the Knuckles Clan.[10][12][13][14] Known for his powerful and wild nature,[10] his dominant traits are his super strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his gloves, from which his name is derived from, and which he can dig and climb walls with. He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air. Knuckles is also one of Sonic the Hedgehog's oldest friends and rivals. A loner by nature, Knuckles is independent, headstrong, and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. He is entirely devoted to his duty, spending most of his time on Angel Island protecting the Master Emerald,[14] and rarely cares about anything that is of no importance. When his friends and others are in need of his help, however, Knuckles can always be relied on, being willing to leave his home very often.[14] Though more recently has committed himself to getting off and exploring Earth more often. Though usually depicted as the guardian of the Master Emerald, he was originally described as the guardian of Angel Island's seven Chaos Emeralds.[15]

    Appearance Knuckles is an anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, a black nose on his peach-skinned muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest, sharp teeth, (only visible when he is smirking or angry earlier) and amethyst eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail. For attire, Knuckles wears red and yellow shoes with green cuffs, light gray soles, and metallic, sextuple-bolted plates on top. He also wears large, white, mitten-like gloves with sock-like cuffs and two pointy, spiked knuckles on each hand. In his younger years, Knuckles had black eyes, a more protruding chest, more defined cheekbones, and was shorter in stature.

    History Note: This is an abbreviated look at Knuckles' history, focusing primarily on his three most recent mainline adventures. For a complete history of Knuckles, see Knuckles the Echidna/History and appearances. For his history in the IDW comics and Sonic Prime, see Knuckles the Echidna/History and appearances (IDW) and Knuckles the Echidna/History and appearances (Sonic Prime). Past Born and raised alone on Angel Island[6][7], Knuckles assumed the mantle of the Master Emerald's guardian, fiercely protecting both it and the island from intruders.[7] Despite protecting the Master Emerald out of duty, Knuckles ultimately was unaware of his ancestral roots to the Knuckles Clan, or the fate of the other Echidnas.[26] One day, however, he faced a catastrophe when Dr. Eggman's Death Egg craft crashed into the island, sending it plummeting into the ocean. Soon after, Eggman himself emerged, and took advantage of Knuckles' confusion to convince him that a hedgehog named Sonic and a fox named Tails were after the Master Emerald for nefarious purposes.[7] When Sonic and Tails did inevitably arrive on the island in search of adventure, the tricked echidna attempted to halt their progress on several occasions, until Eggman made his true plans known by stealing the Master Emerald himself when Knuckles' back was turned. Realizing his error, Knuckles teamed up with his former enemies, and assisted Sonic and Tails their pursuit of Eggman. After the heroes succeeded and the Death Egg was destroyed, Knuckles parted with Sonic and Tails, who left the island on good terms with the echidna. From this point forward, Knuckles became a friendly rival to Sonic, assisting him in many more of his adventures.

    Sonic Forces During the Infinite incident, Knuckles experienced a visit from Silver the Hedgehog, who warned him of an incoming catastrophe that could potentially destroy the world. After witnessing subsequent paranormal events, Knuckles left his position on Angel Island to assist those in danger on the world below. [27] During Sonic's disappearance and the following War to Take Back the Planet, Knuckles became the head of the Resistance, and desperately fought to keep a small portion of the world free from the influence of the Eggman Empire and their living superweapon, Infinite. Knuckles' efforts would serve him when a talented rookie joined the Resistance, and ultimately freed Sonic from his imprisonment on the rebuilt Death Egg. With Sonic and the Rookie's help, Knuckles was able to lead the resistance into slowly reclaiming the world's territories, and ultimately a final assault on the Eggman Empire Fortress which resulted in the defeat of both Eggman and Infinite, and the full liberation of the planet.

    Team Sonic Racing During the Dodon Pa incident, Knuckles and the rest of Team Sonic received mysterious invitations to an interplanetary racing tournament, and, out of curiosity, accepted them. Soon, Knuckles learned that the founder and organizer of the race was a mysterious bureaucrat known only as "Dodon Pa", who had invited many other teams to the prix as well, providing an advanced vehicle to each of them. As the race carried on, and the competition between teams became more aggressive, Knuckles grew suspicious of Dodon Pa's ultimate motives, a suspicion only magnified when he learned that Dodon Pa possessed the technology to send messages to other dimensions, and even the future. At the climax of the prix, however, Knuckles learned that Dodon Pa's real motives were to create an Ultimate Energy Engine from the race's data, which he planned to use for philanthropic purposes. Unfortunately, the engine was stolen by Eggman, prompting Knuckles and the other teams to fight back, successfully saving Dodon Pa and destroying the unstable engine.

    Sonic Frontiers During the Starfall Islands incident, Knuckles found himself pulled from Angel Island's Sky Sanctuary after investigating a mysterious structure. Emerging on the Starfall Islands, Knuckles was immediately set upon by a troop of Soldiers, which he handily defeated with his strength. However, the battle drew the attention of another being in the area: Sage, the newest creation of Dr. Eggman. Knuckles attempted to face the malicious AI, but Sage used the powers of an Asura Guardian under her control to imprison Knuckles inside a Cyber Cage on the desert Ares Island.[28] Furious, Knuckles remained in the cage until Sonic the Hedgehog arrived, having visited the island on his own quest. Knuckles was freed by Sonic, but was left in a ghostlike state as a result of still being partially connected to Cyber Space. Knuckles repaid his debt to Sonic by assisting the hedgehog in his search across the island for the remaining Chaos Emeralds. In the process, he learned much about the island and the fate of its natives, while also confiding with Sonic about being restrained from exploring the world by his dedication to guarding the Master Emerald. Although Knuckles was eventually freed from his non-physical state through the efforts of Sonic, the act infected the hedgehog with a deadly amount of Cyber corruption, and as a result Knuckles willingly returned to his ghost form in order to mitigate the damages, and allow Sonic to focus on solving the problem himself. Once Super Sonic and a reformed Sage ultimately defeated The End, the cosmic being that was behind the entire crisis, Knuckles was freed from Cyber Space, and returned to his physical form once more, celebrating the victory alongside Amy and Tails.

    In an alternate version of the crisis's conclusion Knuckles instead continued to assist Sonic after sacrificing his physical form, working with Tails, Amy, Eggman, and Sage to locate the Chaos Emeralds scattered across Ouranos Island. Battling his way through enhanced Guardian robots, and destroying any Impact Forms that impeded progress, Knuckles helped deliver the Emeralds to Sonic, and later assisted Super Sonic during his final fight with the modified Supreme Titan, possessed by none other than The End itself.

    Regardless of which depiction of the final battle actually took place, following The End's defeat, Knuckles rendezvoused with his victorious teammates preparing to leave the island on board the Tornado. As the four heroes flew off into the horizon, Knuckles vowed to return to his duty as guardian of Angel Island "at least, for a while".

    Personality CS K US Knuckles' profile, from Sonic Jam.

    Knuckles is independent, wild,[29][30][31] hot-blooded,[32] tough,[29][30][31] and a loner by nature. If Sonic embodies the wind that keeps blowing forward, then the echidna personifies the immobility of a mountain.[1][26] Due to having lived in seclusion for most of his life, Knuckles is a rather antisocial and reclusive individual. As such, he cares very little about what others think, which makes him bluntly honest, straightforward, and somewhat egotistical.[29]

    Knuckles is fiercely loyal to Angel Island and does whatever is in his power to protect it. He prefers to stay close to the Master Emerald's shrine to keep a watchful eye over everything at his home. Despite this devotion, the echidna is willing to leave his duty whenever his help is needed.[14] Though he has found other lifestyles appealing, and may even dream of a free one like Sonic's own,[29] he will never trade away his duties as he is far too devoted to his role as guardian, looking very concerned whenever he leaves the Master Emerald behind and spending too much time protecting the giant gem alone.[33] When not performing his duties, Knuckles prefers spending his time practicing his fighting skills, going treasure hunting, or hanging out with his friends.

    Knuckles is usually solemn, stoic, and collected, and usually likes to be by himself. As stubborn as he is tough,[31] he is as well headstrong and inflexible,[29] preferring to do things his way, which causes him to clash with others. Regardless, he is very strong-willed, seldom wavering in his determination, and will not give up on his goals once he has set them. While he is cool and determined in battle, the echidna has an extremely short and wild temper and is hard to reason with when he is angry,[34] which has more than once gotten him into trouble.

    Knuckles profile SG Knuckles' profile, from the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Generations.

    Despite being a silent loner, Knuckles is a heroic, brave, kind-hearted, and selfless soul. While unwilling to forgive evil people,[32] he will risk his own life to save anyone or get them out of trouble and shows empathy for others. He is likewise a loyal and caring friend, who is always willing to help his friends out in tight situations and will do anything to protect them. When not angered, the echidna is pretty laid-back and never cracks under pressure. He can also be very understanding of the sly and does not take kindly to people who disrespect or hurt his friends, or innocents, in any way.

    Having been living much of his life in isolation, Knuckles grew up believing in honesty and holds a firm and steadfast belief that there is good in everyone, which always lets him give people second chances. Because of his lack of social ingenuity, however, it makes him very naive, incredibly gullible, fast about forgiving people, and easily misled, which has given him a history of being tricked by Dr. Eggman. This has made the echidna aggressive and suspicious towards anyone he deems questionable. Over time, however, Knuckles has gotten better about this and is more suspicious concerning the doctor's trickery. Once he finds out he has been tricked, he can get quite angered, but quickly regains enough of his composure to start working towards a resolution immediately.

    Though not dull-witted, Knuckles is often prone to rash and ill-advised actions. While not above picking complex strategies, he often chooses force to be the solution, pushing himself through obstacles while focusing on his goal and ignoring other factors along the way. Similarly, he can also be quite reckless when panicking about the Master Emerald, such being especially evident during the Space Colony ARK incident, where he ended up fighting Sonic for the controls of the space shuttle and causing it to crash land as well as abandoning his allies out of a panic due to the Master Emerald shards being lost to space from a collision with a meteor forcing the cargo bay to open. When in his right element, however, Knuckles can be quite clever, sharp-witted, and sneaky, such as setting several successful traps for Sonic and Tails on Angel Island when they first arrived. He is also capable of learning from his mistakes. Knuckles has also proven himself to have a high degree of leadership skills, most noticeably during his time as the commander of the Resistance. He is noted to be very charismatic with inspirational speeches, and he has a flair of daring plans that provided the Resistance with a much-needed offensive during the War to Take Back the Planet. However, for all his skills as a leader, Knuckles is still easily distracted and prefers to be out on the battlefield rather than in the command center. While he would never admit it, Knuckles has become a bit envious of the lifestyle that Sonic has, being able to live carefree without anything holding him in one place. Even so, Knuckles would never trade away his duties to live Sonic's life, far too devoted to his role as guardian.

    Knuckles is said to be shy around women.[35] Also, due to his secluded lifestyle on Angel Island, Knuckles feels very uncomfortable in industrialized or crowded cities and places,[36][37] especially if they do not have any vegetation[38] or are littered with bright lights.[39]

    Knuckles seems to have lightened up on later adventures, such as the Time Eater incident and the War to Take Back the Planet. While he still sometimes displays a brooding, headstrong, and stubborn attitude, he is shown to be better at acknowledging his shortcomings and displays more personal restraint and better social interaction.

    TheIDWKnux Knuckles the Echidna, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    In the IDW Comics, Knuckles is a tough and headstrong echidna. Serious, unconcerned with nonsense, and stubborn, he has no patience for stationary work and prefers to be where the action is, unless the safety of the Master Emerald is at stake. Despite this, he is still an overall nice person in normal conversations.[40]Knuckles prefers solitude. He is likewise fiercely defensive and loyal to his homeland and prefers to stay there.[40] Because of this, he refuses to let anyone else protect it, determined to do his job alone.[41][42] As such, when anything bad befalls the island and its Master Emerald, Knuckles takes it very personally and blames himself for not being able to prevent it. He will also not allow himself to rest or take it easy until he is sure that his island and its treasure are safe once more.[43] He also does not like having visitors on his island unless there is a crisis that require Angel Island. As soon as the crisis is over, however, he wants to see his island abandoned by the visitors as soon as possible.[44][45] Despite his ties to his home however, Knuckles is very heroic and is willing to leave his duty whenever his help is needed in order to aid his friends as well as the innocent. As such, he has been known to open his island to the needy and defend those instead of the Master Emerald, just like he promised Espio during the Zombot apocalypse. He is also ready to make sacrifices for the good of all, as seen when he let himself get infected by the Metal Virus in order to keep a Zombot Shadow at bay.[46]

    Powers and abilities Being the guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles is a very powerful, seasoned warrior. Said to be an unstoppable power in fights,[32] he is capable of taking on even the most powerful of opponents without rest. He has even been able to fight figures like Sonic, Rouge, Shadow, Silver, and Metal Sonic to a standstill.

    Heroes VolcanicDunk Knuckles punching the ground with enough force to trigger an eruption, from Sonic Heroes.

    Knuckles' trademark ability is his indomitable strength. Possessing lots of power,[47] he is strong enough to pulverize massive boulders,[12][1][48] punch through solid steel,[12] and lift objects several times his size and weight with ease.[12] By comparison, Knuckles' strength is stated to equal Sonic's speed;[12] considering the hedgehog's measured footspeed, which is known to surpass Mach 1, it would mean that Knuckles is capable of lifting over 100 metric tons.[note 1] This makes the echidna one of the physically strongest characters in the series.[12] His strength seems to lie in his upper body, particularly in his arms and fists, the former of which boasting enormous strength[49] and latter being as hard as rocks.[50] Another testament to Knuckles' strength is that by just punching the ground, he can create fissures, widespread tremors, and even powerful volcanic eruptions.[51] Additionally, he can punch with his fists or throw objects through the air with such force that they ignite from friction. He can even launch punches with such force that they create explosions of enormous power.[52] Despite his main strength lying in his upper body, however, Knuckles' legs are quite powerful too, as he can jump several stories into the air from a standstill position.[53]

    KMPlayer 2016-07-12 23-14-39-288 Knuckles running at speeds comparable to Sonic and Tails, from Sonic Heroes.

    Knuckles is able to run at breakneck speeds that almost match Sonic's,[54] who can reach supersonic running speeds. He is even able to run fast enough to create afterimages of himself and scale vertical surfaces and ceilings. Even so, he is not quite as fast as Sonic at his maximum speed, as Knuckles is noted to run fairly slow by comparison. Knuckles is also fast enough to execute rapid punches in quick succession within a split-second,[55] although he has been noted to have slow movements in combat.[47]

    Knuckles possesses near-maximized physical durability. Testaments to this include him surviving a bomb exploding right in front of him through sheer toughness,[56][57] and him going through atmospheric entry and then landing on the ground unharmed.[58] In addition, despite the force of the impacts his fists receive when punching at high forces, Knuckles is never phased by the recoil, regardless of what he hits or how hard he is hitting. Knuckles is also shown to have sharp reflexes and acrobatic skills, enough to let him do special tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind along rails just as fast as Sonic while doing tricks and evading obstacles.[48]

    Chara06 01 Knuckles gliding, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

    Unlike Sonic, Knuckles is a good swimmer, being able to swim into incredible depths and with both great speed and skill. Thanks to the spikes on his fists, he is also a skilled burrower,[13] being able to dig like a gopher[12] into any wall or floor and tunnel through subterranean regions at great speed.[59] These spikes also make him a skilled climber,[13] as they allow him to plant his fists into any surface and scale them. In addition, the echidna is an expert at gliding,[60] which he can easily do by using his dreadlocks.[12][13]

    Knuckles possesses the uncanny ability to sense energy, specifically the one produced by the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald or similar ones, such as those contained in the Sol Emeralds,[61][62][63][64] and can track down their "signals" like an Emerald Detector. Like Sonic and Shadow, Knuckles can also harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds to empower himself. As its guardian, Knuckles is also the only person alive who knows how to control the Master Emerald,[1] which allows him to utilize the jewel's different powers or tap into its vast energies to empower himself. Other more mystical abilities Knuckles has exhibited include summoning lightning bolts, harnessing Earth elementals to heal himself,[65] and using the supernatural power of the Earth to make rocks fall from the sky.[66]

    Knuckles is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Knuckles can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Adept in its usage, Knuckles can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack.

    Rivals 2 Load screen 04 (no text) - Attack Knuckles fighting Sonic, from Sonic Rivals 2.

    Even without his Spin Attack, Knuckles is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. A master in a number of martial arts[29] focusing on hand-to-hand combat, Knuckles makes use of his powerful fists to take on his foes, with his specialty lying in punching moves where he uses his spiked fists for devastating blows. In terms of fighting style, Knuckles focuses on power, using straight, repetitive and forceful punches, such as power-packed jabs or piercing uppercuts to deal critical blows to his opponents. For stronger strikes, Knuckles tends to build up momentum with his fists by swinging them around, before hitting his opponent in full force. By taking advantage of his burrowing abilities, Knuckles can even hide underground before hitting opponents with an uppercut from below when his opponent least expects it. Despite being a powerhouse, however, most of Knuckles' fighting moves are slow and easy to read.[47]

    SFProlouge 56 Knuckles climbing a wall and searching in Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence.

    Knuckles is an expert treasure hunter and can be considered one of the best in the world, if not the best.[67] Also, while not highly intelligent, Knuckles is well-versed in ancient cultures, ruins, and legends, such as when he was able to translate the ancient Babylonian texts at Gigan Rocks during the MeteorTech incident.

    Knuckles is also a skilled Extreme Gear rider, having proven himself a worthy competitor against many of the world's best Extreme Gear riders. To best put his skills in perspective, Knuckles was able to beat Storm the Albatross in a race, who is regarded as a "wind master". When riding his Extreme Gear, Knuckles can bash his way through obstacles effortlessly and engage in close combat with his fellow racers without losing control. With his Extreme Gear, Knuckles can even enhance his physical abilities.[68]

    When it comes down to it, Knuckles is also shown to have semi-competent leadership skills. During the War to Take Back the Planet, he was able to lead the Resistance for several months against the Eggman Empire and even come up with war strategies of his own.

    As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix and his second grand prix, Knuckles has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in racecars like the Land Breaker and its successor the Land Smasher or his previous vehicle the Tempest from his first racing competition. Along those lines, Knuckles has also demonstrated some rudimentary piloting knowledge of more advanced crafts, having once piloted the Egg Saucer,[69] and a Space Shuttle from Eggman's base to the Space Colony ARK (albeit in a more dangerous manner for half the journey due to panic over losing his Emerald Shards).[70]

    In the IDW Comics, Knuckles possesses incredible strength, being as strong as Sonic is fast; with a single punch, he is able to pierce thick metal with ease or knock a person into the ground.[71][72] Thanks to his experience, he is able to make good use of this skill. By stretching his arms and legs outwards while airborne, Knuckles can also catch the air under his dreadlocks to ride on it, allowing him to glide through mid-air. Also, by using the spikes on his fists, Knuckles can deal extra damage to his targets and scale any kind of surface with ease. He is also a great hand-to-hand combatant.[40][73]

    Being the guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles possesses a special link to the massive gem. This link allows him to detect the energies and will of the Master Emerald, although this link can be disturbed.[74][43]

    Equipment Although he prefers to let his fists do the talking, Knuckles has wielded a number of tools during his adventures, albeit never permanently. During the Emerl incident for example, he made use of deployable landmines, and amidst the Gemerl incident, he would wield his own version of the Piko Piko Hammer.

    Transformations Super Knuckles Main article: Super Knuckles Knucklessupershield Super Knuckles, from Sonic Heroes.

    With the seven Chaos Emeralds, Knuckles is able to attain a Super State known as Super Knuckles. In this state, all of Knuckles' abilities far surpass his normal ones. In addition, he is able to fly and is virtually invulnerable. However, this transformation consumes a lot of energy and requires Rings to be maintained.

    Hyper Knuckles Main article: Hyper Knuckles Hyper Knuckles animated Hyper Knuckles, from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

    In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Knuckles can transform into an extended version of Super Knuckles, called Hyper Knuckles, with the seven Super Emeralds. This form basically shares the same abilities and powers as Super Knuckles but on an even higher level.

    Color Powers Main article: Color Power By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Knuckles can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser, or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Knuckles has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

    Weaknesses Knuckles is stubborn and short-tempered,[2] yet he can be easily fooled. He also has a degree of short-sightedness as well, as during the Chaos Incident, he mistook a Chaos Emerald for an Emerald Shard after seeing a glint in Eggman's hand, with Eggman exploiting this weakness by implying Sonic was also hunting for Emerald Shards, leading to a fight between him as well as Tails and Sonic after he saw a glint in their hands.

    He is shy around the girls.[75]

    Knuckles suffers from phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), as he was scared of King Boom Boo during the Space Colony ARK incident, though evidently not to any debilitating extent, as he was perfectly capable of engaging in combat with the latter after only a brief spell of unease.

    Paramount Main article: Knuckles the Echidna (Paramount) Knuckles TV series - Knux Artwork Knuckles, from Knuckles (TV series).

    In the Sonic the Hedgehog film series produced by Paramount Pictures and its spin-offs, Knuckles is an alien echidna who is the last of his kind and is seeking out the Master Emerald, a gemstone of great power created by the echidnas but was later confiscated by the owls due to its dangerous power. To gain a clue to the Master Emerald's whereabouts, Knuckles began to search for the Sonic the Hedgehog, who was the apprentice of the final owl, Longclaw. In his search, he discovered Dr. Robotnik, who lead him to Earth and promised to help him find the Master Emerald. However, Robotnik later betrayed Knuckles and took the Master Emerald for himself. Due to this, Knuckles teamed up with Sonic and Tails to recover the Master Emerald. The trio formed a pact to protect it and Knuckles went on to live with them and the Wachowskis on Earth.

    IDW Publishing Main article: Knuckles the Echidna/History and appearances (IDW) KnucklesIDW Knuckles, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing, Knuckles' past is virtually identical to his game counterpart's, up until after the Sonic Forces. After the Eggman War, Knuckles remained in command of the Resistance, but most of his duties were handled by Amy. Knuckles would also help eliminate the dispersed Badnik groups and, with the help of Sonic, recapture Barricade Town. It later turned out that Neo Metal Sonic had taken control of the Eggman Empire and conquered Angel Island, allowing him to acquire the Master Emerald. Together with his friends, Knuckles defeated Metal Sonic and regained his island where he chose to remain. He decided as well to announce the Resistance's dissolution. Later, during the Metal Virus pandemic, Knuckles had to let Sonic and the members of the Restoration onto his island and defend them from the Zombots. After the Zombot apocalypse was resolved, Knuckles chose to remain on his island.

    Reception The character has received generally positive attention. According to IGN, fans "seemed legitimately happy" with the addition of the character of Knuckles, who was popular enough to get marquee billing in Sonic & Knuckles, but the writer felt that characters that came after him were going "overboard." IGN's Colin Moriarty singled out the introduction of both Knuckles and Tails as when the series became "iffy" and listed them and all other characters in the series, sans Sonic and Robotnik, as being 2nd most in need to "die" on his top 10 list. In contrast, he was listed as the best Sonic character by Official Nintendo Magazine based on the impact he brought to the Sonic games in which he first appeared.

    Complex listed Knuckles as their eleventh most wanted character in the next Super Smash Bros. game. In another article, Complex regarded Knuckles as a better character than Sonic, and praised his gliding and climbing abilities, stating "even if his levels were a little more challenging than Sonic's, the thrill of being able to explore certain parts of levels that the blue-colored hero could not was worth it". Game Rant included Knuckles on their list of "Top 10 Third-Party Characters that Could Appear in the New Super Smash Bros.", commenting "This punch-drunk brawler knows how to serve up a buffet of knuckle sandwiches, and there's no question that he's one of the most fitting characters to occupy a spot on the roster".

    Mega Zone's review of Knuckles' Chaotix praised the introduction of a new protagonist, whom it deemed "rougher [and] tougher" in comparison to the "spineless" Sonic.

As he replanted the trees while his team went to the local pie festival, Tails ignorantly joined the Lightning Bolt Society after Dave had unknowingly seeded some mutant plants.

However, it soon turned out to be an evil scheme when the sauce cans began turning appliances into an army for Eggman to take over the island with. The plan was foiled by Team Sonic.[24] For another scheme, Eggman staged a set-up across the island that made it seem like Sonic was making a horrible noise, thus tricking the hedgehog to wear his Power-absorbant Insoles which would power his Giant Robot with Sonic's running. When Giant Robot faced Team Sonic on the island though, Sonic beat it by overloading it with power.[25] Seaside Island and the rest of the universe later got caught in an timeloop created by one of Eggman's attacks on Team Sonic, making everyone on the island relieve the same day until Eggman and Team Sonic joined forces and broke the loop.[26]

Not long after, the island got bombarded by random attacks from Eggman's lair, caused by the Lightning Bolt Society who had occupied the lair. In the end, Team Sonic and Eggman united to stop the group.[32] Soon after, the Battle of the Buns erupted in the Village, where Chez Amy and Meh Burger competed against each other to attract customers. While Chez Amy ultimately won with the aid of Eggman, the restaurant would be destroyed shortly after by a disgruntled Eggman.[33] Swifty the Shrew later appeared and the villagers were captivated by this new hero, except for Sonic, and gradually the rest of his team.

Finally though, Team Sonic beat Eggman by switching out as needed instead of sticking to a schedule.[53] Upon saving the Village for the millionth time, Team Sonic got the Greatest Role Model of All Time Award. Because the team still horsed around though, Mayor Fink gave them an image specialist to make them better role models, who soon kept them from using force against Eggman.

    SticksTheTownCrier Sticks trying to deliver news reports.

    When the water began vanishing, Sticks set up a podcast to bring news on the crisis to the public when the media would not. When Sticks uncovered Eggman as the water thief, her podcast became so popular that she got her own TV news gig. However, she quit after she realized she had sold herself out, starting a village revolt against the local powers in the process which was soon calmed and directed into stopping Eggman's next scheme.[59] Team Sonic later conducted experiments to boost Sonic's speed on the island when Sonic got stuck on another plane of existence when trying out the Ultrasonic Speed Amplifier. Exploiting Sonic's absence, Eggman ambushed the Village with his Badniks. However, his plan failed when Team Sonic brought Sonic back, who helped his friends beat Eggman's forces.[60]

    After giving a speech at Career Day, Sonic met Mark the Tapir, his biggest fan, whom Sonic would hire as his assistant. However, the obsessive Mark soon trapped Sonic in his cabin so they could spend all their time together. Though most of Team Sonic got caught by Mark too when they came looking for Sonic, the heroes soon broke free and beat Mark.[61] Sonic and Tails, after beating Vacuum Bot, then had a bet to see if the latter could catch the former. Although Tails would in his zeal leave his friends stuck in the traps he tried using on Sonic when they fell into them, he soon caught Sonic, only for Eggman to attack the helpless hero.

The only one still free was Sticks, who got prosecuted while trying to prove Dreamcaster's existence. As Eggman had his slaves build a world-controlling satellite, Sticks returned in time to ruin the doctor's plan and free Dreamcaster's victims.[64]

    When Tails made a defense for the Village, Eggman used the flaws in Tails' invention to enter the Village and wreck havoc until Team Sonic stopped him. Doubting his intellect, Tails tried forming a "brain trust" made of copies of himself, but ended up splitting himself into several dimwitted copies. Discovering this, Team Sonic accidentally made more copies when trying to remerge them. With Eggman's help though, the heroes reassembled Tails.[65] When Team Sonic foiled another of their attacks, a sour Eggman left Orbot and Cubot to get off the island alone. However, after Eggman had the duo go back to the island on an excruciating task, a strike action arose in his lair. He thus hired new minions from the Village, prompting Sonic and Amy to launch a fruitless rescue. However, Eggman would negotiate his robots return after his new minions proved too disobedient on a trip to Seaside Island.[66]

    NewLaw Mayor Fink announcing the Village's new law.

    When the Village instated a law that forced evildoers to get a villain permit, Eggman failed its exam. Rather than wait for a do-over though, Eggman had Orbot get the permit so he could guide him from the background. As he executed Eggman's schemes on the island, Orbot would become an independent villain. When fighting Team Sonic at City Hall though, Orbot caused the new law's nullification, enabling Eggman to return to villainy while Orbot was restored as Eggman's lackey.[67] After Team Sonic stopped another Eggman attack on the island, Knuckles was inspired to find a foster family following his recovery from some amnesia he got in the fight.

After fixing "FriendBot", Team Sonic made him a part of the team and gave him a home with the Cubot prototypes, whom he could protect.[70] Team Sonic later foiled Eggman's search for Ancient tech on the island before investigating some robberies.

As such, Team Sonic traveled deep into the mountains on Seaside Island and got a replacement crystal from a deadly trap built by the Ancients, which they used to restore the town's power.[73] Discovering later the Unnamed Village's real name and its ties to the evil Jebediah Badger, the villagers wanted the town renamed. This led to a referendum to decide a new town name, one which Eggman used to get himself elected as the Village leader for a plot to legally destroy the Village. However, Eggman got removed from power and had his plan foiled by Team Sonic. Afterwards, the town got rechristened "Hedgehog Village".[5]

However, when Knuckles got caught by Barker, who wanted Muckfoot as his attraction, Team Sonic rescued Knuckles, and Tails had no choice but to admit his mistake to the public.[77] Later, while enjoying the product of Tails' improved Build-it Box, Team Sonic would stop an attack on the Village by Eggman.

Saving Mighton and Bolts, Team Sonic helped fix their ship. After the duo left the island though, Team Sonic got attacked by the Cubot prototypes.[81] The team subdued the prototypes (for a while) however, and Tails learned that a malware signal from Morristown was controlling them. Meanwhile, the same signal made Eggman's robots attack the Village. As they fought Eggman's robots, Team Sonic found out the cause for their behavior, making Sonic and Tails go to Morristown to stop the signal, while Amy, Knuckles and Sticks kept the robots in the Village at bay. On the way, Sonic and Tails used one of Morristown's spaceships to sneak into the city after making said ship crash on Seaside Island.[82] Meanwhile, the robots in the Village proved too much for Amy, Knuckles and Sticks to handle, so Knuckles inspired the villagers to help them.

At the end of these events, Eggman contacted the Mayor's office to negotiate his fees' nullification, but that issue ended up solving itself.[89] When Eggman later returned to Seaside Island, it was revealed that he was not a doctor. When Hedgehog Village heard of this, they would treat Eggman as a joke during his next visit. To regain his dignity, Eggman went to Professor Kingsford's class on the island to get his Ph.D. in evil.

Team Sonic then got the Gogobas home.[92] Team Sonic later had a game until a crazy Cubot arrived and caused chaos in Hedgehog Village with a rampant Anti Gravity Ray.

When they could not find him, the trio tried telling Lady Walrus the truth, only for Chumley to appear in time for the trio to return him to his mother.[95] Eggman and Morpho later visited Mombot on Seaside Island, before sending Sonic to another dimension. The villains then tried (and failed) to have Morpho pose as Sonic, only for Sonic to return with his team and beat them up.[96] Team Sonic soon after tried to race each other in their new race cars, which led to an event featuring an auto race around the island that included Team Sonic and the locals, including Eggman. When Eggman stood to win, Team Sonic put their competitiveness aside and made a car that Sonic used to win the race with.[97]

    When Eggman came to Seaside Island to get a FriendSpace friend, Sonic ultimately agreed to it (to keep taps on Eggman). However, Eggman's over-sharing on FriendSpace annoyed Sonic to the point that he unfriended him. Seeking revenge, Eggman made Scrambler, a chatroom Sonic was excluded from, and introduced it to Seaside Island. Everyone (except Sonic) soon after got absorbed into Scrambler, leaving Sonic alienated from society. However, much to the residents' displease, Eggman would eventually delete Scrambler.[98] When Amy's Hammer then vanished, Amy hired Vector the Crocodile to find it after Eggman claimed to not be involved in its disappearance. After several days of investigations, Vector, with sone aid from Sonic, recovered the hammer. He and Sonic also caught the real thief, who turned out to be Dixon, who stole the hammer for a plot to get back at Justin Beaver.[99] Meh Burger later began a poor delivery service that promised that the customers' orders would be free if not delivered within a certain time limit. When Sonic complained about it, he ended up becoming Meh Burger's new delivery boy. With Sonic's aid, Meh Burger enjoyed great success with its delivery service in spite of Eggman's numerous attempts to delay Sonic's deliveries of his meals so he could get free food and humiliate Sonic. However, Sonic eventually quit his job due to health issues.[100]

    SB YAIBO Promo The King of the Bee Bots and his servants.

    After Team Sonic contained a horde of Bee Bots that were after them on the island, Tails accidently got merged with a Bee Bot. Although his team tried to fix him, Tails chose to remain a cyborg after seeing its benefits. However Tails soon turned evil and used the imprisoned Bee Bots on the island to attack his team. With Eggman's help however (who was on vacation on the island), Team Sonic stopped Tails and returned him to normal.[101] Back on the island, Eggman found what he thought was a method to give himself superpowers. However, it instead turned him into a cuddly creature that went to Hedgehog Village until Cubot and Orbot got him home. On his next trip to the island, Eggman morphed again in public, humiliating him. Since he needed to stay calm to avoid morphing, Eggman went to anger management on the island and got his temper under control. When he had to morph again to save Beth though, Eggman came to Seaside Island to find a way to get angry. When he finally succeeded, Sonic took the morphed Eggman to Beth.[102]

    After failing to defeat Sonic on the island again, Eggman and Morpho were brought along on a family vacation to Roboken by Mombot. With Eggman gone, Team Sonic thought they could take it easy, only to end up on several misadventures. After Eggman stole Bolts' smart chip though, the Eggman family returned to Seaside Island. There, Mighton, Cyborg Sonic and Team Sonic fought Eggman until the doctor surrendered the chip.[103] Searching later the island for a purpose in life, D-Fekt would end up as the Cubot prototypes' new protector (since FriendBot had moved to Roboken). With D-Fekt's aid, the prototypes launched a successful rebellion against Eggman. D-Fekt later roamed the island, exacting revenge upon those he had a beef with until Team Sonic tried to stop him. Amidst their fight, Eggman would arrive and fight D-Fekt, and would even take Cutebot (D-Fekt's crush) hostage in an attempt to win. Thanks to Sonic though, Cutebot was saved. D-Fekt then defeated Eggman and let Team Sonic be in gratitude.[104]

    Oz87f4FJvy1u5cb23o2 1280 Shadow attacking Team Sonic.

    Feeling unfairly treated by the villagers after being beaten by Sonic again, Eggman sought to improve his public image by releasing a video game starring him. Eventually pushed to make a game featuring motion capture, Eggman would mo-cap Team Sonic's moves for his game. In an effort to mo-cap Shadow as well, Eggman tricked Shadow into fighting Team Sonic while he mo-capped him.[105] After Eggman left with his footage however, Shadow discovered that Eggman had manipulated him and went after him, much to Eggman's fright. Escaping to Seaside Island, Eggman, with the aid of Morpho's Inter-dimensional Portal Creators, tricked Lord Eggman (Eggman's counterpart from another dimension) to take his place while he hid in Lord Eggman's dimension. The trick did not work for long though, and Shadow would soon travel to the dimension where Eggman was, with Sonic tagging along. The two hedgehogs soon returned to the island with Eggman and Metal Sonic in tow, all four of them locked in combat. Eventually, Team Sonic helped Sonic beat Metal. The victory was short-lived however, as Shadow then revealed to the team that he, in a desire for universal revenge, had trapped Eggman and Lord Eggman in a secret place on the island while they fought Metal; since their dimension cannot host two Eggmans, this would cause an abnormality that would destroy the universe. Wasting no time, Team Sonic located the Eggmans and saved the universe by getting Lord Eggman home.[106]

    Archie Comics The Big Boom Bygone Island comic Seaside Island, from Sonic Boom #3.

    After driving Dr. Eggman's Big Boy off Seaside Island, Team Sonic helped Tails reclaim his house from the Rock-cyborg.[107] The doctor soon returned with the Big Boy, but Team Sonic managed to drive it away again despite complications brought on by Knuckles' attempts to prove his smarts.[108] However, Amy lost her hammer in the process, so most of Team Sonic searched the island for it while Sticks kept Amy calm. They eventually found the hammer, after it was launched back to Seaside Island from Eggman's lair.[109] Team Sonic was attacked by an upgraded Big Boy again not long after, but thanks to Sticks and the Rock of Justice, the heroes pulled off a narrow victory.[110]

    Boom Shaka-laka and Worlds Unite Feeling destructive, Eggman made several trips to Seaside Island to sell a bridge to destroy, and later to try to earn the villagers' trusts for new plots, only for the majority of his attempts to end badly.[111] Soon after, Eggman set up the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix and got Team Sonic to compete with him in a race around Seaside Island. While Sonic won the race in spite of Eggman's dirty play, Eggman got the data he needed for Project Hodge Podge.[112][113] When the Maverick Hunters then arrived on Seaside Island, Sticks and her team joined them on a cross-dimensional adventure, which she would tell to her skeptical team afterwards.[114][115]

    When Sonic let Kyle the Gorilla crash with him after getting him out of Eggman's lair, the hedgehog spent some time helping Kyle get a job on Seaside Island.[116] Eggman himself would soon after spy on Team Sonic with cameras around the island to find his lost earpiece.[117]

27. #27Amy Rose (Sonic Boom)constantselective

    Keys: Alternate Dimension counterpart character and harem member. · Secondary: Amy Rose (Sonic Boom).

    Amy Rose the Hedgehog[8] is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom series. She is an anthropomorphic hedgehog and the organizer, archaeologist, and overall backbone of Team Sonic,[13][14] a heroic group devoted to defending the peace of their world.

    Appearance Amy is a slender, pink-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with peach skin covering her muzzle, arms and insides of her triangle-shaped ears on top of her head. She sports a small black nose, green eyes with two long eyelashes each, no back spines and a short tail. Additionally, her five short head-quills are styled to be point downwards, somewhat resembling a bob cut, with three spikes on her head that serves as her bangs.

    For attire, Amy wears both a cerise headband and a cerise sleeveless minidress - the dress itself includes a white collar, golden buttons on the left side, and a pale-lavender sarashi wrapped around her waist. For footwear, she wore purple stockings and cerise shoes with lighter-colored soles and toes and purplish-gray straps, two of them holding the pink plates with two buttons on the top that matches the ones on her dress.

    Amy accessorizes with sports tape wrapped around her forearms which are the same color as her stockings, white gloves covering her hands, and golden ring-bracelets worn on both her wrists. She occasionally wears her Communicator.

    In addition to her usual clothes, Amy has a number of additional attires:

    At the Awardy Awards, Amy wore a purple tiered dress with light purple circles on it, a light purple waist band, white evening gloves, a small purse, and black medium-heeled shoes.[18] For underwater missions, Amy has her own high-tech attire which includes a light pink wetsuit with a white stripe on each side and her face icon on the chest, pink flippers resembling her shoes, and a transparent pink face mask attached to an oxygen tank on her back.[19] For cold weathers, Amy has a purple beret with a red-violet band and white puff ball, a red-violet jacket with a white waist belt and thistle hemline, a short lavender winter cape with thistle edges, a thistle scarf, red-violet and gray mittens with purple cuffs, and pink, white, red-violet and purple winter boots.[20] One time, Amy wore a waiter uniform, which included a short-sleeved white shirt, a black vest, and a black bowtie, that she wore over her usual outfit.[21] For soccer matches, Amy has a soccer uniform that includes a white and blue t-shirt with a blue chest logo shaped like Sonic's head, long white socks, and white shoes with blue laces and red soles.[22] On holidays, Amy has been known to wear a red and white Santa Hat and a red version of her dress with golden buttons and pink fur covering the collar and hemline. In addition, she wears a black belt with a golden buckle, black sports tape, golden bracelets, red gloves, pink stockings, and black and red versions of her shoes with pink and purple cuffs and white fur balls on top. Personality Amy is smart, independent, strong, and confident.[23][24] She is a natural leader and organizer,[13] but also a perfectionist who needs everything to be just right and will take action to ensure it. She also tends to take charge of everyone around her, though she cannot help it since she knows what others want before they do.[13] She is an overall sweetheart and has ballerina-like gracefulness, but also a capable and tough cookie.[13][16] Amy similarly takes great pride in her expertise in archeology, and thus hates when people show her up in that field.[25] For all her confidence, though, it is hinted that she has insecurities which she covers up by bossing others around.[26] She is also sometimes shy about admitting her true feelings for others.[27]

    Amy is most of the time the sensible member on her team[28] and the most emotionally mature of them, offering common sense when the rest of the team gets carried away. She is eager to help her friends and takes care of them all, making her the group's mother figure.[27][29] More often than not, she sees herself as a psychiatrist and tries to encourage the people around her to talk openly about their feelings, which her friends, particularly Sonic, are not so fond of.[2][30] She is likewise fair-minded and is the first to give support if someone is in need,[27] regardless of past transgressions or her own dislike, while attempting to understand both sides of an argument to keep the peace and solve the problem.[26][30] She is also very peppy and an optimist, though it makes her sometimes come off as naïve, and when on a mission she tries to keep the team optimistic as much as she can.[30]

    AmyTrueAnger Amy showing her aggressive side.

    Amy is normally very charitable and thinks of herself as a refined and elegant woman.[31] Underneath her self-described "cute" and "girly" demeanor though, Amy keeps an explosive and scary temperament that is quick to rise up when she feels provoked.[31][32][33] However it also sometimes rises up when she is being competitive, like when she was designing a car for herself. It can also rise up when one of her friends does something either stupid or something she does not like, such as when Knuckles messed with her throw pillows or when Tails made a joke about her having an unhealthy obsession with Sonic. This side of her is unforgiving and brutal, especially when she sees others messing with her friends. If pushed, Amy will snap into a vicious, unrestrained and intimidating fit that unnerves friends and foes alike.[32][34] Contrary to her charitable nature, Amy shows as well occasional bouts of rudeness, snarkiness, and selfishness when looking out for herself.[33][11] Amy also has a feminist attitude, standing strongly by the ideals of being an independent modern woman and having a distaste for gender stereotypes.[26][35][36]

    Amy is extremely attached to her hammer, which is her most precious possession. She considers it her whole identity and skillset, and she tends to sink into a hysterical fit and deep depression when she thinks she has lost it for good.[37][38] Another particular quirk about Amy is her interest in arts and crafts; she can often be found practicing different artforms with elusive materials and has a habit of making decorations out of whatever she has on hand.[1][12][39] She also shows a noticeable passion for noble causes such as charities and recycling, which has often been exploited by her enemies when they lure her into traps.[6][40][7]

    Powers and abilities Amy has a high level of agility and acrobatic skills which let her execute physical feats that would normally be difficult for someone else,[16] such as performing body flips, balancing perfectly on beams and walking across them and, provided she is not stunned, landing safely from large falls with fluidity and grace. She also boasts high durability, as she was able to take a kick to the face from Shadow's flaming boot and recover in seconds.

    Amy is also a great fighter who knows martial arts to perfection.[29] In a battle, she is capable of holding her own, and is described as a heavy-hit combatant whose skills match the combat-orientated Knuckles'.[41] If angry enough, Amy can fight exceptionally better than normal, to the point where she can overpower a foe who had the rest of Team Sonic on the ropes.[34] Amy also wields her hammer to perfection[29] and is highly adapt and knowledgeable in its usage. Being both very powerful,[24] graceful, and fluid with it, she can combine its powerful strikes with her own acrobatic skill, ensuring no movement with it is wasted. Amy is also a remarkably fast runner, capable of keeping up with Sonic.[42] Amy's reflexes are as well sharp enough to let her detect incoming attacks outside her field of vision.[43]

    Amy possesses strong leadership and organization capabilities, and is a quick thinker and tactician of considerable intelligence. She came up with a plan to bring down Eggman's Big Boy mech while coordinating her team twice, and she was able to calculate how to bring down Tails' house safely from the Rock-cyborg when setting an ambush.[33] Amy is also a history buff who has studied the legends and lore of her mysterious world and has useful knowledge of the ancient areas that she explores with her friends.[13][25]

    Amy is quite the accomplished decorator with a real feel for color and shape. In addition to setting up atmospheric and detailed lunches, she could spruce up Eggman's lair so well that it was accepted by the highly-standard Modern Lair Magazine after it was unquestionably dismissed.[44] She is also a great cook and can make delicious cookies.[13][29] Under Sticks' tutelage, Amy has as well become an accomplished wilderness survivalist, having earned her teacher's acknowledgement, though she is still not as resourceful in this field as Sticks is.[45] Amy is also a skilled juggler.[3][40]

    After eating an Evil Cookie infused with Eggman's DNA, Amy briefly gained genius-level intelligence. However, it reverted back to her normal level after being cured.[46]

    Weapons and equipment Talk to the Hammer Amy wielding her hammer.

    Amy's primary weapon is her hammer, a large pink and yellow hammer capable of dealing massive damage with no excessive efforts, which she can summon out of nowhere at will.[47] Amy mainly uses her hammer as a melee weapon, though she has also been known to perform acrobatic stunts with it, either utilizing it as a hook to swing around bars and similar structures, or as a spring pole for enhanced leaps.[48] She is also able to use it as a long-range weapon by throwing it as a projectile with efficient accuracy.[33]

    Besides her hammer, Amy wields a Communicator, a multifunctional and waterproof smartwatch-like device created by Tails. This device allows Amy wide-ranged radio communication between similar devices, and generate its own Enerbeam, an energy tether that can latch onto objects or form a makeshift whip/rope. It can also tell the time, interface with Amy's tech-based equipment for remote operation, and assume other powers. It even comes with its own tracking device.

    Amy also has a unique set of clothes referred to as a Luminous Suit which can provide her with light in otherwise light-deprived environments.[25]

    Relationships Team Sonic Sticks the Badger SB S1E03 Amy Sticks victory Amy and Sticks

    Sticks the Badger is Amy's teammate and best friend.[49] The two of them are very close, with Amy in particular standing by Sticks' side through thick and thin when she needs support, no matter what.[8] As a testament to the bond they share, Amy would, as the only one, provide Sticks with unwavering support every step of the way during the time the Village turned against the badger.[8] Also, as a symbol of their friendship, they each own a joinable BFF necklace.[50]

    While Amy helps Sticks adapt to civilization, Sticks is willing to go to extremes to protect Amy.[49] Together, they are a solid team, showing well-oiled collaboration in different situations, like combat and wilderness survival.[1] They also occasionally have girls-only activities where it is just the two of them hanging out together. While their different personalities make it difficult for them to find common ground during such events, they nonetheless always manage to make compromises that satisfy both of them, showcasing the strength of their friendship.[51][9]

    While good friends with Sticks and admitting she is nice deep down,[26] Amy has difficulties getting along with her behavior at times. In addition to viewing her as downright crazy, she once called her "pathetic and hopeless."[12][51] Amy also thinks that Sticks is immature, and the inconsiderate attitude Sticks sometimes shows her makes her feel unappreciated.[12][52] At the same time, however, Amy can see the perks in Sticks' primitive methods and is willing to learn from them, just like Sticks learns from her.[18][1][9] Also, while Amy accepts Sticks for who she is, she is not above encouraging her to act more lady-like, if only to help her better fit into society.[18][51] Amy can also not help make decisions for Sticks without regards for her opinions when she believes she is in the right.[51]

    Like the rest of her team, Amy is normally unnerved by Sticks' paranoia and stays skeptical about her theories,[26][53] although she tries to be more gentle about breaking it to her.[30][54] However, she always apologizes for doubting her when she is proven wrong.

    Sonic the Hedgehog SB S1E31 Photo of Sonic Amy's photo of Sonic that she keeps on her.

    Sonic the Hedgehog is Amy's teammate and friend, although they have a complex relationship.[55] As it turns out, Amy secretly has romantic feelings for Sonic,[56] so much that she keeps a photo of him in her purse and once had a homemade doll of him.[51][9] As stated by Tails, she has an "unhealthy attachment" to him.[57] However, she is not obsessed or constantly fawning over Sonic,[15][56] and is very shy about admitting her true feelings for him;[27] when UT almost told about her crush, she got nervous and defensive. As a result, she tries covering up her crush whenever it presents itself and insists her relationship with Sonic is only platonic.[51][58] She can also not help feeling jealous when she sees Sonic flirting with other girls.[25]

    Despite her concealed feelings for Sonic, Amy keeps a healthy and loyal friendship with him. During their battles with Lyric, Amy even chose Sonic over the world to save his life. The two also often hang out and go on missions together without too many squabbles, and Amy serves at times as Sonic's voice of sensibility.[59] Regardless of her feelings for Sonic though, Amy is well-aware of his flaws, which tend to make them bicker. She is often frustrated by Sonic's laid-back and snarky behavior, which sometimes clash with her bossiness and perfectionism, and the occasional inconsiderate attitude he shows her makes her feel unappreciated.[12][7][44] While Amy tries to make Sonic be more open about his feelings, he is very reluctant to do so and will rather avoid such discussions.[34] When Sonic does open up about how he cares about her though, Amy becomes very moved by his sincerity.[58][60] Amy is also cautious about leaving Sonic without supervision due to the trouble he can cause, and will not hesitate to threaten him with her wrath when he steps out of bounds.[25][11]

    Knuckles the Echidna SB S1E22 Amy Knuckles argue Amy and Knuckles arguing.

    Knuckles the Echidna is one of Amy's teammates and friends. However, their relationship is sometimes strenuous due to their opposite viewpoints which causes a great deal of arguing. While Amy is elegant, intelligent and plans strategically ahead, Knuckles is macho-minded, dimwitted and would rather face trouble head-on without any plan at all.[33] Also, when Sonic is out of the picture, the two of them tend to argue over who should be in charge.[56][61]

    According to Knuckles, Amy thinks of him as no more than a "piece of meat." While she tries to be formal and supportive towards Knuckles, she usually has her patience tested by Knuckles' slow wit and his refusal to listen to her. More often than not, Amy loses her temper when dealing with Knuckles' obstinacy and stupidity, causing her to lash out at him with heavy, if not hurtful, criticism.[33][40][61] She does not think highly of Knuckles' intelligence either,[12][61] though she is aware that there are boundaries that she should not overstep.[33] Amy is also cautious about leaving Knuckles without supervision due to the trouble he can cause and will not hesitate to threaten him with her wrath.[11] Additionally, the occasional inconsiderate attitude Knuckles shows her makes her feel unappreciated.[12][44]

    Despite all of their conflicts, Amy and Knuckles are loyal teammates who always have each other's back. Above all else, Amy helps fill out the kind of loneliness Knuckles gets about being the last of his kind by being the family he longs for.[62] Very devoted to each other, Amy shows genuine concern for Knuckles when he is in way over his head.[63] Likewise, Amy always makes peace with Knuckles at the end of the day, as she realizes how badly she has behaved.[41][61] They also work well together in combat, even having their own maneuvers.

    Miles "Tails" Prower SB S1E13 Tails and Amy on a picnic Amy and Tails on a picnic.

    Miles "Tails" Prower is one of Amy's teammates and close friends. Having no significant issues about him, Amy keeps a good relationship with Tails despite seeing him as naïve and timid.[12] They are overall loyal teammates whose eagerness complement each other, and each of them will come to the others' rescue without hesitation whenever one of them is in trouble.[44][58] While Amy respects Tails, however, she also tends to view him as the child among her friends;[64] one time, she even thought he was adorable rather than tough.[31] As such, she can get emotional when she sees Tails prove his growing maturity.[64]

    Amy thinks that Tails, like her other friends, is immature, and the occasional inconsiderate attitude she gets from him makes her feel unappreciated.[12][44][52] Also, when experiencing snide remarks from Tails (intentional or otherwise), Amy is quick to respond to him with anger.[31][57] In addition, she has issues about Tails leading her.[61] Compared to her other friends, Amy tends to question Tails' dubious inventions and designs more strongly.[58][65]

    Dr. Eggman Like the rest of her team, Amy's sworn enemy is Dr. Eggman, whom she generally dislikes. However, their relationship is complex. While Amy will not hesitate to fight Eggman to stop his evil plans, they keep a passive relationship outside their battles where they let each other be nearby without seeking conflict.

    Amy consulting Eggman Amy trying to consult Eggman.

    Out of everyone on Team Sonic, Amy is the one most sympathetic towards Eggman, having more than once tried consulting him and analyzing his behavior to help him with his emotional issues, and has often commiserated with him over his trouble.[30][51] She is also usually the first to think that Eggman is not plotting anything evil when he appears innocent.[30][66] Regardless, she will not hesitate to bash his face in when she thinks he is up to something.[7] Amy, like her other friends, also finds Eggman to be a total joke.[67] Because of her constant victories over Eggman, Amy tends to underestimate the doctor and forget how devious he can be.[7]

    Amy and Eggman share a common interest in Fuzzy Puppies which Amy taught him to play. This has allowed them to form a part-time friendship; while they agree to remain enemies while fighting, they come together in their spare time to play Fuzzy Puppies, and usually have a great time doing it.[68]

    T.W. Barker Amy is shown to dislike T.W. Barker a lot. This began early on when he did not think she could be of use in his circus and made her a clown instead. Barker similarly thinks very lowly about Amy. In fact, Amy is the only member of Team Sonic to have directly frightened him after she demanded Barker to stop making Knuckles pay unfair bills.

    Bea the Bee Amy hugging Bea 2 Amy hugging Bea.

    Bea the Bee is Amy's beloved pet Bee Bot, a robot formerly in service to Dr. Eggman. Though enemies at first, Amy took pity on Bea after she found her broken, but still functional, body on the battlefield. Amy subsequently took it upon herself to nurse Bea back to health, eventually naming her and adopting her as her pet. From then on, the two of them became very close and did all sorts of activities together. Their bond proved so strong that even after Eggman took control of Bea, Amy could still make Bea react to her commands.[34]

    Amy is very dedicated to protecting Bea from Eggman, and was heartbroken when he took her away. She similarly snapped into an unparalleled rage when Mega Bot shot Bea down.[34]

    Keys: Robot enemies, Badniks.

    The Badniks[2] (バドニック[3] Badonikku?), also known as Doctor Eggman's robots[4] (エッグマンのロボット Egguman no robotto?), are a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are an army of mass-produced military robots created by Dr. Eggman, first deployed during the South Island incident. From there onwards, the Badniks have become the doctor's most numerous army, as well as some of his greatest creations.[5]

    The term "Badnik" is largely exclusive to English-language media related to the series, as Japanese works largely use "Eggman's robots" instead; the very few uses of the term "Badnik" in Japanese media have solely been in translations of works originally written in English.

    Description Sonic 2 art Eggman and Badniks Various Badniks from the West Side Island incident, with the Egg Mobile at the center, from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

    The Eggman Empire is your friend. We are committed to sustainable choices, including keeping critters safe by putting them in robots. — Dr. Eggman, Sonic Dream Team While Badniks do not have a standard design, they are generally around the height of Sonic, though there are larger and smaller[6] models too. Most Badniks are based off of a specific theme, such as animals, insects, plants, Dr. Eggman himself, or more "interpretive" things.[2] These robots are also divided in the purpose they are designed to serve in combat, such as reconnaissance[7] and shooting;[8][9] and are prepared for specific environments such as cold areas[10] and deserts.[11] The earliest Badnik models, which appeared before the Chaos incident, are armies with impeccable designs that can perform their tasks flawlessly.[5] There are more advanced robots, such as the Metal Fighters, who can rival Sonic's speed; and the E-Series, the most produced series of Badniks that were created to advance weaponry.[5][12]

    Many Badnik models have a power source inside of them, most commonly Animals, which are placed at the center of the robot.[8] The way this works is that the Badnik extracts bioenergy[8][9] from the Animal and use it as a basis for its AI.[13] Other power sources, such as Little Planet flower seeds, Power Cores, Rings, Chaos Drives, Light Cores, or Nightmare Fuel have been used with a similar purpose as well. When a Badnik is destroyed, the power source inside of it is liberated. However, most of the more advanced Badniks, and sometimes the weaker ones as well, are empty and do not release anything when destroyed.

    Badnik 101 A Picky being incorporated into a Moto Bug, from Sonic Lost World.

    Transformation 101. Bunnies to Badniks. Boom! Instant army. It needs to be a big army if I'm taking over the world below. — Dr. Eggman, Sonic Lost World The method of putting Animals into Badniks was shown during the Lost Hex incident, which consists of moving the captured Animals from Capsules and setting them into Badniks. A similar process, known as robotomy, was used at least once, during the War to Take Back the Planet. Here, organic beings are incorporated into the Badniks in a manner more insidious than being used as living batteries. In the final result, the subjects have constructed Badnik bodies with built-in equipment such as guns; for example, a purple caterpillar who is subjected to this treatment will be mechanized into a Caterkiller. Organisms that undergo robotomy are noted to be completely stripped of the ability to think, converting them into essentially mindless Badnik drones.[14] It is not known how much of the original organisms remains once this process is complete.

    Most Badnik models are very fragile and weak, and a few attacks, such as a Spin Attack, are enough to destroy them. Despite this, there have been more powerful Badniks that have been created over the years that either take multiple hits to destroy, or are nearly indestructible from most standard attacks. Despite being created as combat drones, most Badniks do appear to possess some degree of sentience, as they can express basic emotions such as stress[15][16] or excitement.[17] Additionally, the Badniks are also capable of doing stuff under their own free will (even when they are not commanded or programmed to do so), such as celebrating Dr. Eggman's birthday every year on their own volition,[18] or creating sand castles just for fun.[19] Despite having sentience, most Badniks are still limited into carrying out basic tasks such as trying to kill Sonic.[20] Despite this, there have been a select few Badniks created with more advanced AI compared to most standard Badniks, allowing them to feel more complex emotions and even being able to form genuine bonds with other people beyond just Dr. Eggman himself.

    The Moto Bug[5] (モトラ[6] Motora?), also spelled Motobug,[1][2] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, ladybug-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman. They are most likely the best-known Badnik model for being the very first one that Sonic the Hedgehog encountered, and reappearing in many games, even as variants.[1]

    Appearance The Moto Bugs resemble robotic versions of the typical ladybug, but much larger. The classic Moto Bugs have round red body armor with vents covering their backs and blue faces which come together with their bodies in an almost spherical shape. They also have cartoony black eyes, two white mandibles, and thick yellow antennae. Their source of locomotion is reliant on the simple wheel mechanism located in their undercarriages. A small engine with an exhaust pipe on both sides of their rear propels their wheels across the ground. They also have short arms with yellow forearms and a single claw at the tip.

    The Moto Bugs that appeared during the first part of the Death Egg mk.II incident were more mechanical in design and had longer claws. The Moto Bugs that later appeared during the Wisp incident and the Time Eater incident were much like the original Moto Bugs, but with black spots on their backs instead of vents and menacing cyan eyes. The Moto Bugs that later debuted during the Lost Hex incident returned to the original ones' design, but with brighter faces, normal-looking cyan eyes and two black spots on their backs.

    During the War to Take Back the Planet, the Moto Bugs received a more militaristic design. In addition to their backs becoming bright-gray (although their spot markings remained), they had small blue exhaust pipes and small faces. They also had blue rims that went around the back of their necks, and black faces with red eyes. They also wore what appeared to be a visor with a red lens and antennas, and their wheels were being held in place by white discs with blue rims. Some Moto Bugs actually remained in their older design when encountered during the war.

    The Buzz Bomber[1] (ビートン[2] Bīton?, lit. "Beeton") is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, bee-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman. Buzz Bombers have several upgraded models based on them. Since the Buzz Bombers' first appearance, they have become one of the most common enemies in the Sonic series.

    Appearance The classic Buzz Bomber resembles a mechanical mud dauber with a black coloring around its spherical thorax. The stinger at the tip of its blue-striped abdomen is a rail detonator cannon, its primary weapon. Two mechanical devices resembling pale wings give it the ability to hover. Also, two engines are installed into the sides of this Badnik's thorax. Finally, the classic Buzz Bomber has a blue head with cartoony eyes, two mandibles and yellow antennae. Starting with the Time Eater incident, the Buzz Bomber models were made more mechanically detailed, with four pink wings, cyan eyes, and a bendable bar between their thoraxes and abdomens. Sometimes, starting with the Lost Hex incident, the Buzz Bombers showed an appearance similar to the early models, but with more cartoonish designs. During the War to Take Back the Planet and the resurgent Black Doom incident, the Buzz Bombers received a more modernized and militaristic design. These models retained the typical Buzz Bombers' basic shape. However, their wings had become yellow, their abdomens had lost their stripes, and their thoraxes had become blue. They also had black heads with a single red eye each and small antenna.

    The Crabmeat[1] (ガニガニ[2] Ganigani?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, crab-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman. Crabmeats are slow-paced Badniks that are capable of shooting projectile balls or homing missiles from their pincers.

    Appearance Crabmeats, as their name implies, are inspired by real life crabs. The original Crabmeat models had red cephalothoraxes with gray underbellies and four gray and short crustacean-based legs with claw-like feet, which allowed them to scuttle around. They also had gray eyestalks protruding from an oblong hole in their cephalothoraxes with two cartoonish photo receptors located on top of each of them, and two short antennae above their eye stalks. They also had two cable-like gray arms with large and round pincers on the end of each arm. Hidden inside their pincers are also devices that let them fire either laser spheres or missiles (depending on their model). Starting with the Wisp incident, the Crabmeats were given sleeker designs with yellow underbellies. Sometimes, starting with the Lost Hex incident, they were instead given a cartoonish design similar to their original appearance, although they come in two variations: regular red types and sleeker orange types.

    The Caterkiller[1][2] (ナール[3] Nāru?, lit. "Nal") is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, caterpillar-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman that possesses a hard defense system and the ability to scatter its segments if destroyed incorrectly.

    Appearance Based on caterpillars, the Caterkillers' body consists of four spherical segments with curved yellow spikes on the sides. They also have two antennae located at the tip of their heads. They are mainly purple in color, with white fangs in their mouths, gray underbellies, and two antennae with yellow tops. They also have cartoonish, black eyes. Other incarnations of the Caterkillers have been known to be pinkish in color instead of purple. The Badnik model from the Lost Hex incident has also been known to have cyan eyes.

    The Egg Pawn (エッグポーン Eggu Pōn?), alternatively spelled as the Eggpawn, is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman that is based on the doctor himself, and the main model of the Pawn Series.[1] They serve as their creator's main force of weapon robots in his army.[2] Specially given their costs, the Egg Pawns have been described as excellent robots.[1] Although weak on their own, the Egg Pawns' immense numbers make them perhaps the greatest threat in Eggman's army.[2] They also come in different varieties, each one having its own unique skillset.

    Appearance The Egg Pawns are humanoid robots based on Dr. Eggman. The typical Egg Pawn is primarily orange in color, with a round body and a dome-shaped head that come together in an egg-like shape. It also has blank cyan eyes, a sharp yellow nose, a wide glowing panel for a mouth, and a black lower torso section. Up until Sonic Rivals, the Egg Pawns had gray cable-like limbs with four-fingered hands, vermilion/orange feet, yellow cuffs around their wrists and ankles, and short shoulder guards. In Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, Egg Pawns received additional armor, like thicker forearms and armored legs, but less articulated shoulders. Those that appeared in later games such as Sonic Lost World were designed with more soft shapes and colors, but otherwise remained the same. In Sonic Forces, the Egg Pawns received a more modernized and militaristic design. These Egg Pawns had spherical white-gray bodies with no heads, thin black limbs with red joints, and light gray visors on the front with two red eyes. They also had light gray feet with soles, and armored light gray forearms with no hands, although they had a cannon on their right arm.

29. #29Rough the Skunkconstantselective

    Keys: Bad guy character

    Rough the Skunk[4] (ラフ・ザ・スカンク[5][6] Rafu za Sukanku?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. He is an anthropomorphic skunk and the brother of his partner, Tumble. An evil mercenary, he and Tumble took over Barricade Town, but were stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna. After escaping prison later on, they now seek revenge on Sonic and Knuckles.

    Appearance Rough is a medium-sized, anthropomorphic skunk with blue-gray and cream fur. He has a tall, cream mohawk that extends down to his back. He has cheek tuffs on the sides of his cream-colored muzzle and has a scruffy hairstyle along with a long, cream-striped tail that can extend over his own head. He bears a blue-grey V-shaped patch on his cream white-furred chest. He also bears pink canals, a black nose, and sharp teeth. Rough has red eyes with yellow sclera along with thick black outlines along the outer corners.

    For attire, Rough wears amber gloves with white volar surfaces and amber boots with tan volar surfaces, a red oval on the tongues and cream soles, both having red lining on the wrists and ankles, and white socks.

    History Past Having an enjoyment for playing in ball pits, Rough and Tumble would be banned from any ball pit they went to for kicking out the kids.[7]

    The Eggman War Rough and Tumble save town Rough and Tumble defend Barricade Town from Badniks, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    During the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, Rough and Tumble helped Barricade Town by "ferociously" battling the invading Badniks. Afterwards, they set themselves up in Barricade Town and promised to help them improve their defenses. However, the brothers ultimately ended up taking over Barricade Town, its Wisps, and its Wispon distribution center, setting themselves up as tyrannical rulers.[8]

    Trapping the townsfolk between themselves and marauding Badniks outside the walls, Rough and Tumble controlled Barricade Town throughout the end of the war and into the ensuing reconstruction period.[8]

    Fallout! RoughAndTumble Rough and Tumble in their base, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    While Rough and Tumble were lounging about in the Wispon distribution center, being waited on hand and foot by the locals, Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna arrived to confront them. Shocked and angered at the interruption of their fun, Rough remarked about how the heroes do not know who they are and began a choreographed introduction before engaging in combat.[8]

    While Sonic engaged Tumble, Rough took on Knuckles. During the fight, Rough managed to use his Stink Bomber technique on Knuckles, leaving Knuckles semi-disabled. However, Knuckles fought through the pain and smashed Rough into the floorboards. Tumble then picked up his dazed brother, and Rough recovered before they both grabbed some Wispons in an attempt to turn the tide of the fight. Unfortunately for them, Sonic convinced the Wisps to turn on them, leaving Rough and Tumble's Wispons useless and helping the heroes surround them. Mocking their choreographed introduction, Sonic and Knuckles did their own number before knocking out both Rough and his brother. In the aftermath, Rough was apprehended by the local militia, along with his brother, and Tumble promised that they would escape and come after Sonic and Knuckles. Rough cursed them as well, saying that they have made life-long enemies of himself and Tumble before being taken away.[8]

    Battle For Angel Island At some point during their incarceration, both Rough and Tumble were broken out of jail by Dr. Starline. He wished to enlist their help in kidnapping Dr. Eggman from the remote mountain village he currently resided in due to his amnesia. Starline promised that in exchange for Rough and Tumble's help, Eggman would build them weapons to use for revenge against Sonic.[9]

    EggmanKidnapped Rough and Tumble kidnapping Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog #10.

    Accepting Starline's offer, the brothers went to Windmill Village where Dr. Eggman was staying and kidnapped him against his will.[2] Bringing Eggman to the Final Egg and strapping him up, Rough would watch Starline commence the first round of the evidently painful "procedure" on Eggman that he had arranged to restore Eggman to his former evil self. After Starline was done, Rough watched the supposed result.[10]

    Starline continued putting Eggman through his procedures, only for Eggman to show little progress after three sessions. This made Rough and Tumble grow impatient with Starline, but the latter reassure them that he would restore Eggman's memories so that he could build weapons for the duo. Soon, the group were met by a badly damaged Metal Sonic. Upon seeing Metal Sonic, Eggman managed to regain his memories. Starline thus introduced himself and the skunk brothers, prompting Rough and Tumble to do their introduction. Eggman did not think highly of Rough and Tumble at first but when he learned that they hated Sonic, he offered to build them weapons, an idea that excited them. Later on, Rough and Tumble received blueprints for their new weapons. However, they became very confused by their specifications. When Rough complained to Eggman on this, the doctor simply swapped the blueprints between the brothers as they had each received the incorrect one. Following this, they became very satisfied with the weapon designs.[9]

    Curse of the Pyramid IDWDustyPyramid Rough and Tumble at the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.

    Rough and Tumble eventually went to the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman in the Dusty Desert to find Eggman's forgotten treasure, among other things. While Tumble was superstitious of the curse that surrounded the area, Rough was determined to find the treasure no matter what. Inside the pyramid, Rough stepped on a trick switch which made walls with spikes close in on them. Rough managed to roll out of the way with Tumble riding on top of him however. Once they were clear, Rough cheered for their victory. Tumble was still superstitious of the pyramid which prompted Rough to remind him that they were not scared of anything. Rouge the Bat then appeared and slightly startled the skunk brothers. Once they learned that she was also after Eggman's treasure, Rough used his noxious stench on her and ran off with Tumble. However, the skunk brothers were soon interrupted by an active Egg-Golem. When Rouge arrived, she explained what it was and that the Egg-Golem was being controlled via a remote. Rough and Tumble continued to fight the Egg-Golem while Rouge disappeared. Eventually though, the brothers managed to defeat the Egg-Golem. As the duo felt victorious, Rouge reappeared, all mummy-like, and warned the brothers not to touch the bandages or they would be doomed for eternity. Rough immediately became frightened of Rouge and ran out of the pyramid carrying his brother, ignoring his earlier comments on not being scared of anything.[11]

    Infection After receiving their new weapons, Rough and Tumble went to Windmill Village where they trapped the villagers in the community center and left the beaten village head hanging from a tree. When Sonic and Tails later came to Windmill Village, Rough and Tumble found them just as they were freeing the village head. After doing their introduction, the skunk brothers attacked Sonic. During the fight however, Sonic correctly deduced that they were working with someone and demanded to know where Eggman was. While Rough told him that (maybe) he would tattle if he beat them, Tumble told him not to barter with him and pressed on the attack. Eventually though, Tails joined Sonic's side in the fight. As the fight progressed, Rough would face Tails alone, who turned Rough's Vapor Condenser against him by hitting him with his own stink bomb. A weaponless and defeated Rough was then brought together with Tumble, who had been beaten by Sonic. Before Rough wound up tattling however, he and Tumble got pulled through a Warp Topaz portal. Back at the base, Rough asked Eggman for another chance to take on Sonic, only to be pushed aside by Metal Sonic. Rough tried speaking against this but was quickly silenced by Metal Sonic.[12] Eventually, Rough and Tumble grew impatient from waiting on Eggman to make good on his word and help them waste Sonic. Confronting Eggman, they demanded that the doctor provided them with a new edge against Sonic. In response, Eggman told them that his "latest weapon just got out of beta".[13]

    RoughTumbleZombots Rough and Tumble having been turned into Zombots, from Sonic the Hedgehog #15.

    Cubot later notified Rough and Tumble to meet Eggman in hangar three. While waiting for Eggman, Rough would kick Cubot around. When he finally arrived, the doctor gave them two "back-up" backpacks that they could open in case Sonic got the upper hand. However, Rough and Tumble did not find out what the backpacks were supposed to do. They were also not happy with them, but then Eggman provided them with a large tank with a drill and cannons. Rough and Tumble subsequently used it to enter Echo Mine and destroy the computer that Sonic and Amy used to learn about Eggman's latest scheme. Rough and Tumble again tried to introduce themselves with rhymes, but Sonic criticized their rhymes for being poor. This made Rough and Tumble argue between them, but when Amy failed to hit their tank, they attacked. They chased Sonic and Amy through the mines until they reached a cave with a refuse pit in the middle, forcing Rough to turn sharply to the right and drive around the pit. It was then that Sonic and Amy attacked them from behind, destroying the cockpit and treads on the tank, which then fell into the pit. Rough and Tumble, however, managed to evacuate. They then activated their backpacks, causing the Metal Virus to be poured out on them, much to their horror, and turn them into Zombots. Rough attacked Amy, who tried to fight back, only to discover that she could not harm Zombot Rough. Ultimately though, Rough was knocked into the refuse pit by Sonic, who had caught the Metal Virus in the process.[14]

    Out of the Blue After Super Sonic and Super Silver had reversed the effects of the Metal Virus all around the world, the Zombots were no more and were cured. Rough and Tumble remained at the bottom of the refuse pit for a long while, starved and helpless. Soon, an object dropped down that scared Rough because he thought it was a spider. It was actually the extensive tail of Tangle the Lemur who had come to rescue the duo with Tails. After pulling them out, Tails and Tangle told the skunks that Sonic had saved the world from the Metal Virus, giving everyone a second chance of life, including them. Rough and Tumble laughed at this and took it as another opportunity to run wild in the world. The duo ran off but soon became confused trying to find their way out of the mines.[3]

    Bad Guys Rough and Tumble subsequently tried to take over Barricade Town again, but were defeated by the Wispon-armed villagers and thrown into the maximum-security wing of Everhold Prison, which held Mimic and Zavok as well. They were soon after visited by Dr. Starline, who had hypnotized the warden into letting him in before making him fall asleep, who offered Rough and Tumble to join him and the others and take their revenge on Eggman for tricking them into pouring the Metal Virus onto themselves. Rough and Tumble, however, were not having any of this. Ultimately, however, Starline convinced Rough and Tumble to join him by promising the skunk brothers to create new weapons for them, which they responded very enthusiastically to. After they were released from their cell, they locked the prison warden in one of the cells. As the prison guards tried to surround them though, Rough asked Starline to hypnotize them. Since Starline could not do this on crowds however, Rough and Tumble decided to take matters into their own hands and defeated the guards with brute force. They later helped knock down the guards in the security center. There, they admitted that they were not quite sure yet if they wanted to work with Starline, but realized they did not have a better idea either. Ultimately, they managed to escape from prison with their new crew after Starline made the prison descend into chaos.[15]

    GrandStinkBomberSlam Rough and Tumble pulling off their Grand Stink Bomber Slam maneuver, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Bad Guys #2.

    After Rough and his new team were brought to Dr. Starline's Repository, Starline told the villains that they would have to acquire Power Cores, special energy spheres used by various machines in the Eggman Empire. With them, they could increase their powers using special adapters for the next part of their plan, which was infiltrating an Eggnet hub. Amidst this, Rough and Tumble were amused when Starline compared Mimic's intelligence to that of their stupidity. Later, the villains took part in an attack on the Eggman base holding the Energy Cores. After disposing of the forward guard, Rough and Mimic were thrown behind the walls by Tumble. Inside the base, Rough created a smokescreen for Mimic and started destroying the present Badniks. Tumble joined Rough soon after, and the two of them would argue over who of them had destroyed most Badniks. However, they stopped when a mechanical tyrannosaurus rex appeared. However, Rough and Tumble quickly destroyed it using their Grand Stink Bomber Slam combo attack, with Rough releasing his musk inside the robot, thus causing it to burst apart from within. The villains then took the crates of Power Cores from the base's warehouse, loaded them into a truck, and drove off.[7]

    Later, Rough and Tumble came along with the other villains on their way to the Eggnet hub. Along the way, they tried to write a new intro that included their new teammates. Upon their arrival, Rough was equipped with a blue Core Gear. He also asked Starline if he had prepared a Core Gear for himself, but Starline assured him that he had no skills he could improve, prompting Rough to laugh at him. During their subsequent attack on the Eggnet hub, Rough used a Spin Dash to launch Tumble up to the hub's gate, which Tumble then demolished. Delighted at his improved speed, Rough ran inside the hub's premise. There, he then demanded for something to destroy, and Starline let him devastate everything inside the hub except the central computer. Choosing an Egg Knight as his first target, Rough cut it in half with his tail. However, when Mimic got a knife to Starline's throat, Zavok revealed to everyone that Starline was trying to use them and destroy them after he had gotten what he wanted. Rough and Tumble were initially surprised, but then pretended that they had been pretending to trust the doctor from the beginning. Afterward, Zavok let them have the remaining Power Core in Starline's lab, which Rough and Tumble thought was a good deal. They then agreed with Zavok when he announced that they no longer needed Starline.[16] However, Starline used his Tricore to escape the group, leaving Rough dumbfounded by the physical prowess Starline now possessed. Rough was then ordered by Zavok to pursue Starline. Rough looked for the doctor around the hub and called for him, saying that he could not defeat them all anyway. He was then tripped by Starline by surprise and poisoned by Starline's Multi-Tool Heel Spurs. Downed, Rough began calling for backup. Tumble later tried to avenge Rough but got poisoned by Starline too. When Zavok then found Rough and Tumble, incapacitated on the ground, he was not pleased that they had failed to deal with just one opponent. However, they believed that they had done more than Zavok and decided to leave his team. Rough and Tumble subsequently managed to leave the Eggnet hub just before Eggman carpet-bombed the location. The skunk brothers then decided that they would start all over again and that they did not need a team or a leader.[17]

    Trial by Fire IDWRoughStinkBomberSewer Rough throwing the Chaotix off his trail, from Sonic the Hedgehog #48.

    Eventually, Rough and Tumble began working for Clutch the Opossum, their jobs being to move crates containing Badnik parts through the sewers from a warehouse on Central City's docks. During one of his trips however, Rough stumbled upon the Chaotix, causing him to drop his crate. Fortunately, he managed to escape into a nearby sewer corridor and drive off the trio using his Stink Bomber. Back in the warehouse at Central City's docks, Rough reported back to Clutch about his mission. Though Clutch was dissatisfied with the results, he allowed Rough and his brother to rectify their mistake when the Chaotix entered their warehouse. Rough tried to attack Vector but got tripped by the crocodile's tail and was soon after stung by Charmy. However, Rough and Tumble stopped fighting when Espio captured Clutch. Clutch, however, managed to steal two of Espio's smoke bombs and used them to flee the scene with Rough and Tumble.[18]

    Rough Patch Rough and Tumble went to Spiral Hill Village and continued their petty theft business. One day, Tumble argued with Rough about their rhymes being slant, saying no one will take them seriously if they can't rhyme right. Rough was more concerned with explaining their next plan. Tumble pressed the issue, saying their reputation is at stake, and refused to hear his "dumb" plan if his rhymes are "just as dumb". Rough got angry about Tumble calling his plans dumb and challenged Tumble to make his own. Tumble yelled at Rough's face that he would and without him. Rough got in his face as well and said he couldn't rhyme better if he tried, rhyming himself that moment. Tumble composed himself and walked out, saying that was a slant rhyme. Enraged, Rough yelled at him to get out and he never wants to see him again.[19]

    Rough approached Tangle the same day, begging her to join him in stealing a Chaos Emerald, reasoning it was vigilante work and admitting he won't know what to do if he doesn't have someone to boss around. Tangle agreed to work with him, and they broke into the Mineral Museum that night via the skylight to steal the Emerald. They ran into Rouge and Tumble at the museum, who were also trying to take the Emerald. Rough was angry they were there, and Tangle said it looked like they were the people who he said were trying to take the Emerald they were "trying to protect". Rough went along with it and Tangle pushed him to fight Tumble. As the two fought, he admitted he didn't know Rouge and Tumble would be there and he was lying to Tangle so he could steal the Emerald. The two skunks then realized they had the same plan. They hugged each other, broke into tears, and apologized to each other for fighting. They reunited but before they could try to steal the Emerald, Tangle knocked them out and tied them up. The plan failed anyway as Rouge flew off with the Emerald. Rough agreed with Tumble with a bro fist that they would never team up with anyone else.[19]

    Dinner at Cream's Rough and Tumble ended up in Floral Forest Village, where they decided to steal and intimidate the town. The found Cream and Vanilla's home and waited for Vanilla to leave. Once she did, they sunk inside to rob it. They ran into Gemerl, who Rough thought he was a butler robot. When Gemerl attacked them, Rough tried to unleash a Stink Bomber, but Gemerl stopped him. Tumble heard other people in the house and Rough went after them to get a hostage. When he spotted her, Cream accidentally started a fire in the kitchen.[20] Rough tried to grab Cream, but she got out of his way and he went back to attacking Gemerl. He was able to get the robot in a headlock, but Gemerl broke free from it. There was a pause in the fight when Cream got the roast, but Rough still wanted to fight. When Cream started to cry, Rough and Tumble stood shocked and confused. Vanilla then arrived back home and Cream explained what happened. Rough and Tumble got on their knees and apologized to Vanilla. When the Chaotix arrived, Rough promised they wouldn't do any more crime today. The Skunks were invited to stay for dinner and ate with the whole group.[21]

    Phantom Riders Rough and Tumble chase Tails, Amy and Belle Rough and Tumble chasing Tails, Amy and Belle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #72.

    Amy sends Belle forward to tell Jewel what is happening, but Doctor Yolk does not let her inside, stating that Jewel is too busy to see anybody. Belle notices that Doctor Yolk's bow tie is missing, only to realize it is the same bow tie she was tied up with. Doctor Yolk grabs her and prepares to lock her up again, causing Tails and Amy to rush to her aid. However, Nick appears in front of them. Belle pulls on her tail, causing her to kick Doctor Yolk and free herself from his grip. Tails pulls down the zipper on the back of Nick's mascot costume, revealing a familiar tail and smell to Amy. Rough and Tumble reveal themselves to the three, only to immediately start calling for backup. With Clean Sweepstakes Security on the way, Tails, Amy, and Belle are forced to flee, with the skunk brothers in pursuit.[22]

    Rough and Tumble continue chasing Tails, Amy, and Belle with Rough telling the trio to keep running as there is nowhere to go. Suddenly they run into someone, and they ask if they seen then to which the person has that they went the other direction. Later on, they catch up with the heroes in the main engine room with Clutch and the security having them surrounded.[23] Rough and the others had the heroes surrounded when him and Tumble confront Vector but uses his Vector Breath and manages to distract them while Rough was attacked by Charmy. Soon the heroes have them cornered when Vector tricks them and Charmy escapes with the usb and Rough tells Clutch they are going with them when Clutch reasons saying he does not need dead weight holding him back.[24]

    WeQuit Rough and Tumble quit Clean Sweep Inc., from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Back in the engine room, Espio reminds Tumble that he promised Vanilla he would turn over a new leaf, and asks why he has not done so. Tumble explains that he and Rough did, as they were originally only told to wear the mascot costumes, only for Clutch to continue asking more out of them. Don asks why they did not quit if they did not like it, although they are unfamiliar with the concept as they have always been fired before getting the chance to quit. This time, however, they decide to quit on their own and ask to be released from the cell, promising to help out. Espio tells them that the door was never locked and that the only prison was in their minds, allowing them to realize they can leave. The skunk brothers walk up to the door and begin pushing it together, causing it to actually move. Vector and Nite then start pushing with them, allowing them to eventually break out of the room. Jewel decides that instead of stopping the ship, they will have to change its course to the Emeraldville Ruins, where Restoration HQ is. Jet accepts, and he, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Belle, and the Chaotix set off for the HQ while Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough, and Tumble remain behind. Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough, and Tumble then arrive at the scene aboard The Bad Investment, with Nite bragging to Don about the RV being a good idea.

    At the sight of the destroyed HQ, The heroes prepare to go clean up the mess and rebuild, with Don forcing Rough and Tumble to help as payment for the ride down.[25]

    Spring Broken! Rough and Tumble would go to the Spring Flower Festival to compete in the Annual Flower Frolic Competition. He would change the labels on the pack of soil to herbicide, this tricked Charmy into putting it into Silver's plant causing it to catch fire and putting a pause on the event. Later on Sonic noticed that the bag is sticky which would get Rough caught and disqualified from the contest. For his punishment he got dunked in the tank by Silver to make it even.[26]

    Personality Rough is a course and aggressive skunk. Ruthless, cruel, and violent,[9] he takes great pleasure in terrorizing and taking advantage of those weaker than himself, as demonstrated by how he and his brother oppressed the townsfolk of Barricade Town. Meanspirited, Rough showed no concern for the happiness or well-being of the townsfolk he and his brother oppressed, displaying a lack of empathy for others, and he was significantly offended by Sonic and Knuckles ruining their "fun".[8]

    Rough & Tumble Rough and Tumble's introduction, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    Rough is a brawler who loves to fight. Also, in order to intimidate their opponents, he and Tumble have created choreography and rhyming introductions for themselves. This also shows a measure of arrogance in their abilities.[8] Their announcements, however, do not always rhyme, and they usually end up embarrassing themselves or making their enemies laugh at them. Despite this, Rough is genuinely proud and sensitive about their introductions, believing that they are creating art that others do not appreciate.[16] He also gets greatly offended when others imitate their introductions, and in a mocking manner no less.[8][12]

    Rough is arrogant and very confident. He never admits failures or weaknesses, like denying needing help or extra firepower.[9][12] He is also an ungrateful opportunist who never intends to change, even after his enemies have saved his life.[3] In comparison to his brother, Rough is less wild and more prone to engage in banter with his enemies.[12] Rough is also rather assertive and not intimidated by rumors in the slightest, like when he remained unconcerned by the legends of the curse surrounding the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman and told his brother to man up when he began worrying about said curse. However, when he met a "mummy" in the pyramid, he got immediately scared and ran away, unlike his brother, who was more confused than scared.[11] Rough can also be more fearful than Tumble, like fearing spiders in the dark and fleeing confrontations from time to time.[3]

    While powerful and clever enough to seize an entire town alongside his brother, Rough is not very intelligent,[9] having been described as more of a bully than a mastermind.[1] Also, while he and his brother were able to take control of a key location and a stockpile of Wispons, they showed no foresight or ambition in doing anything beyond forcing the townsfolk into serving and entertaining them.[8] Rough is also very naïve and easy to convince when promised with a supply of new weapons,[9][15] although he will not admit about having been deceived later on upon realizing it.[16] As such, many consider him a brutal, but mindless tool that is incapable of devising complex plans and strategies.[7][12] Rough has also shown immature behavior, such as getting into a childish argument with Tumble over who destroyed more Badniks in a fight, or playing in ball pits. Rough is also a hypocrite, as he has mocked Mimic for being dumb, while at the same time admitting that he is not intelligent,[7] called Rouge a "no-good, lousy thief", despite being a thief himself, and ran away in terror when he believed Rouge had been cursed, despite telling Tumble earlier that curses do not exist and that nothing scares him.[11] Rough is also very vindictive, as he assured Sonic and Knuckles that they had made "lifelong enemies" of out of him and Tumble after they defeated them,[8] and has constantly attempted to get revenge on Sonic ever since. Rough does have a more sensitive side regarding his friendship with Tumble, as he cried with him when they made up after arguing and splitting off for a day.[19]

    Powers and abilities Rough is a ferocious combatant. As a testament to his power, he and Tumble were able to single-handedly save a town from Eggman's forces during the Eggman War. Although smaller and less physically intimidating than his brother, Rough makes up for his lack of brute strength with surprising speed and agility.[8]

    StinkBomber Rough using his Stink Bomber technique on Knuckles, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    Rough is an experienced mercenary and is able to efficiently coordinate with his brother, Tumble, to form a formidable tag team in battle.[7] He is also extremely acrobatic: he can easily jump over a person charging at him and spring off structures.[8] While not nearly as strong as his brother,[7] Rough still possesses impressive strength, enough to crack an Egg-Golem's armor with a flying double kick and carry Tumble while running without his weight slowing him down.[11] Rough is also durable enough to withstand and quickly recover from Knuckles punching him through a wooden floor while without losing consciousness.[8]

    As a skunk, Rough is able to produce a noxious musk that affects the eyes, respiratory system, and has a pungent odor.[8] It is also so dense that releasing enough of it can create a smokescreen.[7] By combining this skill with a Spin Attack-based maneuver, Rough can use his Stink Bomber and Grand Stink Bomber Slam techniques.[8] Rough's tail is also sharp enough to slice through an Egg Knight.[16]

    Rough is also an adept user of Wispons. While his exact proficiency with a Wispon is unknown, he mainly uses one when fighting seriously.[8]

    Weapons and equipment During his early career, Rough made use of Wispons, although he seemed to favor the Burst Wispon. He was later stripped of his Wispons when he got thrown in jail.[8]

    After helping Dr. Starline, Rough received a weaponized Vapor Condenser from Dr. Eggman. This launcher, which could be strapped to Rough's back, could fire capsules filled with concentrated portions of Rough's own musk which were so potent that those dowsed in them were rendered completely incapacitated. However, he lost this device when Tails destroyed it.[12]

    While allied with Starline, Rough received a Core Gear for speed that allowed him to harness Power Cores' energy automatically.[16]

    Relationships Tumble the Skunk Rough and Tumble bros forever Rough and Tumble forgiving each other, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2022.

    Tumble: Did we have the same plan... bro? Bro... — Tumble and Rough, Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2022 Tumble the Skunk is Rough's brother and his partner in crime. They are very close and highly coordinated with each other, capable of destroying entire armies of Badniks, occupying towns, and terrorizing its inhabitants together.[8] Their joint attack is the Grand Stink Bomber Slam, with which they are able to destroy powerful robots.[7] While they like each other and easily forgive each other for their mistakes, they are often childish, prompting them to argue over trivialities such as which one of them managed to destroy the most robots.[7][17] This attitude caused them to split up for a day, only for them to reunite when they discovered they were doing the same plan.[19]

    Rough and Tumble have a habit of introducing themselves with rhyming introductions where they brag about their skills,[8][9][12] though Tumble has brought up that they often slant rhyme.[19] They also feel that they do not need any team, as they will always have each other.[17]

    Sonic the Hedgehog Rough regards Sonic the Hedgehog as his lifelong enemy after he ended their occupation of Barricade Town.[8] Since then, Rough and Tumble have tried to get revenge on Sonic by finding suitable weapons for themselves, forging alliances with dangerous people such as Dr. Starline and Dr. Eggman along the way. However, they always fail, which only makes them even more angry than before.[9][12][15]

    Dr. Starline Rough was once released from prison by Dr. Starline to help bring him Dr. Eggman. In return, they were to receive weapons designed by Eggman that would allow them to defeat Sonic. However, Rough grew impatient as Starline dragged out their arrangement, prompting him to urge Starline on.[9]

    When Starline offered to cooperate with Rough and Tumble a second time, this time on the pretext of q united revenge plot against Dr. Eggman, Rough initially rejected his offer, insisting that Starline turned them into Zombots during the Metal Virus plague. However, he quickly agreed when Starline offered to build him and Tumble new weapons.[15] As Rough and Tumble began cooperating with Starline and their new team, they would want to include them all in their rhyming introductions. Later, however, they found that Starline was only using them and so sought to get revenge on him.[16] After Starline escaped them however, Rough and Tumble decided that they did not need Starline's team, and they would start all over again by themselves.[17]

    Dr. Eggman Rough and Tumble once kidnapped Dr. Eggman while he was suffering from amnesia on Dr. Starline's orders. Once Starline could restore his memory, Rough hoped that Eggman would give them new weapons.[9] Initially, Rough was unconvinced that Eggman, who had become a reformed handyman, was the infamous would-be despot.[10] After Eggman had recovered, Rough and Tumble would put a lot of pressure on Eggman for making weapons for them that they did not like at first, until Eggman revealed that they had mixed up the schematics that had been delivered to them.[9] When they failed Eggman however, they begged him for a second chance, irritating him even more.[12][13] Soon after, they unknowingly became Eggman's guinea pigs and the first victims of Metal Virus when the doctor equipped them with backpacks filled with the virus without revealing their contents or function.[14]

    Keys: Bad guy character

    Tumble the Skunk[2] (タンブル・ザ・スカンク[3][4] Tanburu za Sukanku?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. He is an anthropomorphic skunk and the brother of his partner, Rough. An evil mercenary, he and Rough took over Barricade Town, but were stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna. After escaping prison later on, they now seek revenge on Sonic and Knuckles.

    Appearance Tumble is a muscular and tall anthropomorphic skunk with cream and beige fur. His mohawk runs down his back with his cream stripes reaching the ends of the stub where his tail once was. He has quite scruffy fur, with his chest and muzzle looking connected. He has a pink nose with a triangular shape and short ears. He bears a "W"-shaped patch in the center of his chest and bears fangs. Around his black eyes with red sclera, Tumble has extremely defined purple bags under his eyes.

    For attire, Tumble wears two black, spiked bracelets with gold buckles on them and wears black and gray boots also with golden buckles.

    History Past Having an enjoyment for playing in ball pits, Tumble and Rough would be banned from any ball pit they went to for kicking out the kids.[6]

    At some point, Tumble lost his tail under unspecified circumstances. This event greatly traumatized Tumble.[7]

    The Eggman War Rough and Tumble save town Tumble and Rough ferociously drive back Badniks, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    During the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, Tumble and Rough helped save Barricade Town by ferociously driving back the invading Badniks. Afterwards, they set themselves up in Barricade Town and promised to help them improve their defenses. However, the brothers ultimately ended up taking over Barricade Town, its Wisps, and its Wispon distribution center, setting themselves up as tyrannical rulers.[8]

    Trapping the townsfolk between themselves and marauding Badniks outside the walls, Tumble and Rough controlled Barricade Town throughout the end of the war and into the ensuing reconstruction period.[8]

    Fallout! RoughAndTumble Tumble and Rough in their base, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    While Tumble and Rough were lounging about in the Wispon distribution center, being waited on hand and foot by the locals, Sonic and Knuckles arrived to confront them. Shocked and angered at the interruption of their fun, Tumble remarked about how they knew who the heroes were, but Rough commented about how they do not know them and began a choreographed introduction before engaging in combat.[8]

    While Rough engaged Knuckles, Sonic attacked Tumble with a Spin Attack, who caught him in midair. He then proceeds to dribble and throw Sonic like a basketball. However, Sonic eventually fought back, and knocked Tumble backwards, causing him to trip over and land on the table behind him. Recovering, Tumble picked up his dazed brother (who had been sent through the floorboards by Knuckles) before they both grabbed some Wispons in an attempt to turn the tide of the fight. Unfortunately for them, Sonic convinced the Wisps to turn on them, leaving Tumble and Rough's Wispons useless and helping the heroes surround them. Mocking their choreographed introduction, Sonic and Knuckles did their own number before knocking out both Tumble and his brother. In the aftermath, Tumble was apprehended by the local militia, along with his brother, and promised that they would escape and come after Sonic and Knuckles. Rough cursed them as well, saying that they have made life-long enemies of himself and Tumble before being taken away.[8]

    Battle For Angel Island At some point during their incarceration, both Tumble and Rough were broken out of jail by Dr. Starline. He wished to enlist their help in kidnapping Dr. Eggman from the remote mountain village he currently resided in due to his amnesia. Starline promised that in exchange for Tumble and Rough's help, Eggman would build them weapons to use for revenge against Sonic.[9]

    EggmanKidnapped Tumble and Rough kidnapping Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog #10.

    Accepting Starline's offer, the brothers went to Windmill Village where Dr. Eggman was staying and kidnapped him against his will.[10] Bringing Eggman to the Final Egg and strapping him up, Tumble would watch Starline commence the first round of the evidently painful "procedure" on Eggman that he had arranged to restore Eggman to his former evil self. After Starline was done, Tumble watched the supposed result.[11]

    Starline continued putting Eggman through his procedures, only for Eggman to show little progress after three sessions. This made Tumble and Rough grow impatient with Starline, but the latter reassure them that he would restore Eggman's memories so that he could build weapons for the duo. Soon, the group were met by a badly damaged Metal Sonic. Upon seeing Metal Sonic, Eggman managed to regain his memories. Starline thus introduced himself and the skunk brothers, prompting Tumble and Rough to do their introduction. Eggman did not think highly of Rough and Tumble at first but when he learned that they hated Sonic, he offered to build them weapons, an idea that excited them. Later on, Tumble and Rough received blueprints for their new weapons. However, they became very confused by their specifications. When Rough complained to Eggman on this, the doctor simply swapped the blueprints between the brothers as they had each received the incorrect one. Following this, they became very satisfied with the weapon designs.[9]

    Curse of the Pyramid IDWDustyPyramid Tumble and Rough at the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019.

    Tumble and Rough eventually went to the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman in the Dusty Desert to find Eggman's forgotten treasure, among other things. While Tumble was superstitious of the curse that surrounded the area, Rough was determined to find the treasure no matter what. Inside pyramid, Rough stepped on a trick switch which made walls with spikes close in on them. Rough managed to roll out of the way with Tumble riding on top of him however. Once they were clear, Tumble was still superstitious of the pyramid which prompted Rough to remind him that they were not scared of anything. Rouge the Bat then appeared and slightly startled the skunk brothers. Once they learned that she was also after Eggman's treasure, Tumble ran off with Rough, who used his noxious stench on Rouge. However, the skunk brothers were soon interrupted by an active Egg-Golem. When Rouge arrived, she explained what it was and that the Egg-Golem was being controlled via a remote. Tumble and Rough continued to fight the Egg-Golem while Rouge disappeared. Eventually though, the brothers managed to defeat the Egg-Golem. As the duo felt victorious, Rouge reappeared, all mummy-like, and warned the brothers not to touch the bandages or they would be doomed for eternity. Rough immediately became frightened of Rouge and ran out of the pyramid carrying his brother, ignoring Tumble's attempt to reminds him that they were not scared of anything.[12]

    Infection After receiving their new weapons, Tumble and Rough went to Windmill Village where they trapped the villagers in the community center and left the beaten village head hanging from a tree. When Sonic and Tails later came to Windmill Village, Tumble and Rough found them just as they were freeing the village head. After doing their introduction, the skunk brothers attacked Sonic. During the fight however, Sonic correctly deduced that they were working with someone and demanded to know where Eggman was. While Rough told him that (maybe) he would tattle if he beat them, Tumble told him not to barter with him and pressed on the attack. Eventually though, Tails joined Sonic's side in the fight. Tumble especially took Tails' presence personally, feeling it was unfair for the fox to have two tails when he had lost his. As the fight progressed, Tumble would face Sonic alone. When Sonic destroyed Tumble's prosthetic tail weapon however, Tumble lost his will to fight. Mourning his loss, Tumble let Sonic put him together with Rough, who had been defeated by Tails. Before Rough wound up tattling however, he and Tumble got pulled through a Warp Topaz portal. Back at the base, Tumble sulked for a new tail while Rough asked Eggman for another chance to take on Sonic. However, both skunks got pushed aside by Metal Sonic.[7] Eventually, Tumble and Rough grew impatient from waiting on Eggman to make good on his word and help them waste Sonic. Confronting Eggman, they demanded that the doctor provided them with a new edge against Sonic. In response, Eggman told them that his "latest weapon just got out of beta".[13]

    RoughTumbleZombots Tumble and Rough having been turned into Zombots, from Sonic the Hedgehog #15.

    Cubot later notified Tumble and Rough to meet Eggman in hangar three. When he finally arrived, the doctor gave them two "back-up" backpacks that they could open in case Sonic got the upper hand. However, Rough and Tumble did not find out what the backpacks were supposed to do. They were also not happy with them (Tumble in particular wanted a new tail), but then Eggman provided them with a large tank with a drill and cannons. Rough and Tumble subsequently used it to enter Echo Mine and destroy the computer that Sonic and Amy used to learn about Eggman's latest scheme. Rough and Tumble again tried to introduce themselves with rhymes, but Sonic criticized their rhymes for being poor. This made Rough and Tumble argue between them, but when Amy failed to hit their tank, they attacked. They chased Sonic and Amy through the mines until they reached a cave with a refuse pit in the middle, forcing them to turn sharply to the right and drive around the pit. It was then that Sonic and Amy attacked them from behind, destroying the cockpit and treads on the tank, which then fell into the pit. Rough and Tumble, however, managed to evacuate. They then activated their backpacks, causing the Metal Virus to be poured out on them, much to their horror, and turn them into Zombots. Tumble attacked Sonic, who tried to fight back, only to discover that he could not harm him as a Zombot. Furthermore, Sonic wound up touching the Zombot Tumble, causing the Metal Virus to infect him too. While Sonic was distracted, Tumble hit him and infected him with more of the virus. Eventually though, Tumble got knocked into the refuse pit by Sonic with a Spin Attack.[14]

    Out of the Blue After Super Sonic and Super Silver had reversed the effects of the Metal Virus all around the world, the Zombots were no more and were cured. Tumble and Rough remained at the bottom of the refuse pit for a long while, starved and helpless. Soon, the extensive tail of Tangle the Lemur dropped into the pit in an effort to rescue the duo with Tails. Looking at Tangle's tail upset Tumble. After pulling them out, Tails and Tangle told the skunks that Sonic had saved the world from the Metal Virus, giving everyone a second chance of life, including them. Tumble and Rough laughed at this and took it as another opportunity to run wild in the world. The duo ran off but soon became confused trying to find their way out of the mines.[15]

    Bad Guys Tumble and Rough subsequently tried to take over Barricade Town again, but were defeated by the Wispon-armed villagers and thrown into the maximum security wing of Everhold Prison, which held Mimic and Zavok as well. They were soon after visited by Dr. Starline, who had hypnotized the warden into letting him in before making him fall asleep, who offered Tumble and Rough to join him and the others and take their revenge on Dr. Eggman for tricking them into pouring the Metal Virus onto themselves. Tumble and Rough, however, were not having any of this. Ultimately, however, Starline convinced Tumble and Rough to join him by promising the skunk brothers to create new weapons for them, which they responded very enthusiastically to. After they were released from their cell, they locked the prison warden in one of the cells. As the prison guards tried to surround them though, Tumble and Rough decided to take matters into their own hands and defeated the guards with brute force. They later helped knock down the guards in the security center. There, they admitted that they were not quite sure yet if they wanted to work with Starline, but realized they did not have a better idea either. Ultimately, they managed to escape from prison with their new crew after Starline made the prison descend into chaos.[16]

    GrandStinkBomberSlam Tumble and Rough pulling off their Grand Stink Bomber Slam maneuver, from Sonic the Hedgehog: Bad Guys #2.

    After Tumble and his new team were brought to Dr. Starline's Repository, Starline told the villains that they would have to acquire Power Cores, special energy spheres used by various machines in the Eggman Empire. With them, they could increase their powers using special adapters for the next part of their plan, which was infiltrating an Eggnet hub. Amidst this, Tumble and Rough were amused when Starline compared Mimic's intelligence to that of their stupidity. Later, the villains took part in an attack on the Eggman base holding the Power Cores. After the front guard had been disposed of, Tumble tossed Rough and Mimic inside the base to open its gate from the inside. However, Tumble grew impatient because Rough was destroying Badniks without him. As the gate opened, Tumble quickly joined the fight. Afterward, he argued with Rough about who had destroyed the most Badniks. They both stopped when a mechanical tyrannosaurus rex appeared. Regardless, Tumble and Rough quickly destroyed it using their Grand Stink Bomber Slam combo attack, with Tumble throwing Rough into the robot's mouth and then closing it up, thus allowing Rough to destroy from within with his musk. The villains then took the crates of Energy Cores from the base's warehouse and loaded them into the truck. Before driving off, however, Tumble and Zavok left a dent on the base's front grate that was supposed to resemble Sonic's Spin Dash in order to deceive Eggman into thinking that Sonic had raided the base.[6]

    Later, Tumble and Rough came along with the other villains on their way to the Eggnet hub. Along the way, they tried to write a new intro that included their new teammates. Upon their arrival, Tumble was equipped with a red Core Gear but was disappointed not to get something more akin to a tail. Regardless, during their attack on the Eggnet hub, Rough used a Spin Dash to launch Tumble up to the hub's gate, which Tumble then demolished. Tumble then tried to destroy the door to the central computer, but Starline stopped him, explaining that there was some delicate software inside. Instead, Mimic opened the entrance more delicately. Tumble soon after praised Zavok when he decided to destroy one of the Badniks inside instead of taking control of it. However, when Mimic got a knife to Starline's throat, Zavok revealed to everyone that Starline was trying to use them and destroy them after he had gotten what he wanted. Tumble and Rough were initially surprised, but then pretended that they had been pretending to trust the doctor from the beginning. Afterward, Zavok let them have the remaining Power Core in Starline's lab, which Tumble and Rough thought was a good deal. They then agreed with Zavok when he announced that they no longer needed Starline.[17] However, Starline used the power of his Tricore to escape the group. Tumble tried to stop him with a punch, but had his brute force countered by Starline's enhanced strength. Regardless, Tumble was ordered by Zavok to pursue Starline anyway. Tumble soon got separated from Rough, but he soon found him, immobilized by Starline's neurotoxin. When Starline arrived, Tumble tried to avenge his brother, only to get poisoned by Starline as well. Zavok soon after found Tumble and Rough incapacitated on the ground and was not pleased that they had failed to deal with just one opponent. However, Tumble and Rough believed that they had done more than Zavok and decided to leave his team. Tumble and Rough subsequently managed to leave the Eggnet hub just before Eggman carpet-bombed the location. The skunk brothers then decided that they would start all over again and that they did not need a team or a leader.[18]

    Trial by Fire IDWTumbleAndVector Tumble fighting Vector, from Sonic the Hedgehog #48.

    Eventually, Tumble and Rough began working for Clutch the Opossum, their jobs being to move crates containing Badnik parts through the sewers from a warehouse on Central City's docks. On one of his trips, however, Rough was discovered by the Chaotix. Back in their warehouse, Tumble, along with Rough, would explain their screw-up. Though Clutch was dissatisfied with the results, he allowed Tumble and Rough to correct their mistake when the Chaotix entered their warehouse. Tumble himself would attack Vector, but their fight was cut short when Espio captured Clutch. Clutch, however, managed to steal two of Espio's smoke bombs and used them to flee the scene with Tumble and Rough.[19]

    Rough Patch Rough and Tumble went to Spiral Hill Village and continued their petty theft business. One day, Tumble argued with Rough about their rhymes being slant, saying no one will take them seriously if they can't rhyme right. Rough ignored his concern and wanted to explain his plan. Tumble pressed the issue, saying their reputation is at stake, and refused to hear his "dumb" plan if his rhymes are "just as dumb". Rough got angry about Tumble calling his plans dumb and challenged Tumble to make his own. Tumble yelled at Rough's face that he would and without him. Rough got in his face as well and said he couldn't rhyme better if he tried, rhyming that moment as well. Tumble composed himself and walked out, saying that was a slant rhyme. Enraged, Rough yelled at him to get out and he never wants to see him again.[20]

    Tumble approached Rouge the same day and laid out a plant to steal a Chaos Emerald. Rouge liked the plan and agreed to work with him. The new duo broke into the Mineral Museum that night by climbing into a balcony to steal the Emerald. They ran into Rough and Tangle at the museum, who were supposedly protecting the Emerald. Tumble was angry they were there and Rouge said it looked like they followed them here to stop them from taking the Emerald. Tumble became enraged and ran at Rough to fight him. As the two fought, Tumble said he was angry for Rough becoming "goody-good". Rough admitted he didn't know Rouge and Tumble would be here and he was lying to Tangle so he could steal the Emerald. The two skunks then realized they had the same plan. They hugged each other, broke into tears, and apologized to each other for fighting. They reunited but before they could try to steal the Emerald, Tangle knocked them out and tied them up. The plan failed anyway as Rouge flew off with the Emerald. Rough said they should never team up with anyone else, and Tumble agreed with a bro fist.[20]

    Dinner at Cream's Rough and Tumble ended up in Floral Forest Village, where they decided to steal and intimidate the town. The found Cream and Vanilla's home and waited for Vanilla to leave. Once she did, they sunk inside to rob it. They ran into Gemerl, but Tumble thought they could take him on. When Gemerl attacked them, Rough and Tumble did there best to hold him off. Tumble heard other people in the house and Rough went after them to get a hostage. Tumble held onto Gemerl as Rough went after the kid.[21] Tumble started to attack Gemerl with the food in the kitchen. Cream tried to stop Tumble, but the skunk grabbed her and threatened to hurt her if Gemerl did anything. Cheese and Chocola managed to drop a dish on Tumble, causing him to let Cream go. There was a pause in the fight when Cream got the roast, but, still wanting to fight, Tumble stomped the roast. When Cream started to cry, Rough and Tumble stood shocked and confused. Vanilla then arrived back home and Cream explained what happened. Rough and Tumble got on their knees and apologized to Vanilla. When the Chaotix arrived, Rough promised they wouldn't do any more crime today. The Skunks were invited to stay for dinner and ate with the whole group.[22]

    Phantom Riders Rough and Tumble chase Tails, Amy and Belle Rough and Tumble chasing Tails, Amy and Belle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #72.

    Amy sends Belle forward to tell Jewel what is happening, but Doctor Yolk does not let her inside, stating that Jewel is too busy to see anybody. Belle notices that Doctor Yolk's bow tie is missing, only to realize it is the same bow tie she was tied up with. Doctor Yolk grabs her and prepares to lock her up again, causing Tails and Amy to rush to her aid. However, Nick appears in front of them. Belle pulls on her tail, causing her to kick Doctor Yolk and free herself from his grip. Tails pulls down the zipper on the back of Nick's mascot costume, revealing a familiar tail and smell to Amy. Rough and Tumble reveal themselves to the three, only to immediately start calling for backup. With Clean Sweepstakes Security on the way, Tails, Amy, and Belle are forced to flee, with the skunk brothers in pursuit.[23]

    Rough and Tumble continue chasing Tails, Amy, and Belle with Rough telling the trio to keep running as there is nowhere to go. Suddenly they run into someone, and they ask if they seen then to which the person has that they went the other direction. Later on, they catch up with the heroes in the main engine room with Clutch and the security having them surrounded.[24] Tumble and the others had the heroes surrounded when him and Rough confront Vector but uses his Vector Breath and manages to distract them while Rough was attacked by Charmy and Tumble tries to grab Espio but misses. Soon the heroes have them cornered when Vector tricks them and Charmy escapes with the USB that contains all of the dirt on Clean Sweep Inc. and Rough while holding Tumble tells Clutch they are going with them when Clutch reasons saying he does not need dead weight holding him back.[25]

    WeQuit Rough and Tumble quit Clean Sweep Inc., from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Back in the engine room, Espio reminds Tumble that he promised Vanilla he would turn over a new leaf, and asks why he has not done so. Tumble explains that he and Rough did, as they were originally only told to wear the mascot costumes, only for Clutch to continue asking more out of them. Don asks why they did not quit if they did not like it, although they are unfamiliar with the concept as they have always been fired before getting the chance to quit. This time, however, they decide to quit on their own and ask to be released from the cell, promising to help out. Espio tells them that the door was never locked and that the only prison was in their minds, allowing them to realize they can leave. The skunk brothers walk up to the door and begin pushing it together, causing it to actually move. Vector and Nite then start pushing with them, allowing them to eventually break out of the room. Jewel decides that instead of stopping the ship, they will have to change its course to the Emeraldville Ruins, where Restoration HQ is. Jet accepts, and he, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Belle, and the Chaotix set off for the HQ while Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough, and Tumble remain behind. Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough, and Tumble then arrive at the scene aboard The Bad Investment, with Nite bragging to Don about the RV being a good idea.

    At the sight of the destroyed HQ, The heroes prepare to go clean up the mess and rebuild, with Don forcing Rough and Tumble to help as payment for the ride down.[26]

    Spring Broken! Tumble along with his brother would go to the Spring Flower Festival to compete in the Annual Flower Frolic Competition. Tumble would be one of the participants and Silver's plant would catch fire while he stood there and laughed which later his brother would be caught sabotaging while Tumble choose not to cheat, but he would lose the competition.[27]

    Personality Tumble is a course and aggressive skunk. Ruthless, cruel, and violent,[9] he takes great pleasure in terrorizing and taking advantage of those weaker than himself, as demonstrated by how he and his brother oppressed the townsfolk in Barricade Town. Mean spirited, Tumble showed no concern for the happiness or well-being of the townsfolk he and his brother oppressed, displaying a lack of empathy for others, and he was significantly offended by Sonic and Knuckles ruining their "fun".

    Rough & Tumble Tumble and Rough's introduction, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    Tumble is a brawler who loves to fight. Also, in order to intimidate their opponents, he and Rough have created choreography and rhyming introductions for themselves. This also shows a measure of arrogance in their abilities.[8] Their announcements, however, do not always rhyme, and they usually end up embarrassing them or makes everyone laugh at them. Despite this, Tumble is genuinely proud and sensitive about their introductions, believing that they creating art that others do not appreciate.[17] Tumble is also rather picky about their rhymes, complaining when Rough uses “slant rhymes”.[20]

    Tumble is arrogant and very confident. He never admits failures or weaknesses, like denying needing help or extra firepower.[9][7] He is also an ungrateful opportunist who never intends to change, even after his enemies have saved his life.[15] In comparison to his brother, Tumble is more wild and prone to frequent bursts of aggression, like when he told Rough when they fought Sonic to not banter with him and instead press on the attack.[7] He is also shown to be rather superstitious, like when he got genuinely scared of the legends about a curse in the Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman. However, when he sees how unstoppable he is with Rough, his fears quickly fade away. As such, he could not understand Rough's fear when he saw a monster like a "mummy" with his own eyes.[12]

    While powerful enough to seize an entire town alongside his brother, Tumble is not very intelligent,[9] having been described as more of a bully than a mastermind.[1] Also, while he and his brother were able to take control of a key location and a stockpile of Wispons, they showed no foresight or ambition in doing anything beyond forcing the townsfolk into serving and entertaining them.[8] Tumble is also very naïve and easy to convince when promised with a supply of new weapons,[9][16] although he will not admit about having been deceived later on upon realizing it.[17] As such, many consider him a brutal, but mindless tool that is incapable of devising complex plans and strategies.[6][7] Tumble has also displayed immature behavior, such as getting into a childish argument with Rough over who destroyed more Badniks in a fight, or playing in ball pits. Regardless, Tumble is aware that he is not the most intelligent of individuals, but is not bothered by it in the slightest; in fact, he finds hypocritical amusement in mocking other people for being unintelligent.[6] However, Tumble is not completely unintelligent, having once come up with a plan to steal a Chaos Emerald which Rouge found surprisingly competent.[20] Tumble is also very vindictive, as seen when he assured Sonic and Knuckles that they had made "lifelong enemies" of out of him and Rough after they defeated them,[8] and has constantly attempted to get revenge on Sonic ever since.

    The loss of his tail has greatly traumatized Tumble. As such, he gets extremely sensitive and emotional when it comes to his missing tail; he went into a jealous rage when complaining about how unfair it is that Tails had two tails while he has none, and at Tangle for her extra long tail.[7][15] As such, Tumble refers to have tail-based weapons.[7][14] Also, after his prosthetic tail got destroyed, Tumble lost his fighting spirit and was reduced to a sad, sobbing wreck, clutching and mourning his broken tail.[7]

    Powers and abilities Tumble is a ferocious combatant. As a testament to his power, he and Rough were able to single-handedly save a town from Eggman's forces during the Eggman War. While not the most agile fighter, Tumble makes up for it with pure brute force.[8]

    Caught Tumble catches Sonic's Spin Attack with his bare hands, from Sonic the Hedgehog #3.

    Tumble is an experienced mercenary and is able to efficiently coordinate with his brother, Rough, to form a formidable tag team in battle.[6][8] One notable collaboration technique of theirs is the Grand Stink Bomber Slam, which allows them to easily destroy one of the more powerful Badnik models.[6] Tumble also has great strength that outclasses his brother's,[6] being strong enough to stop Sonic's Spin Attack in its tracks with his bare hands, shatter an Egg-Golem's armor with a single punch, and make a dent in a solid metal gate with one punch (albeit with Zavok's aid).[6][8][12] It has even been said that his strength is on par with that of Knuckles' Sonic Boom counterpart.[28] Tumble also possesses great durability; he can recover immediately from taking a Spin Attack to the chest.[8]

    Tumble is also an adept user of Wispons. While his exact proficiency with a Wispon is unknown, he mainly uses one when fighting seriously.[8] Tumble has also been shown to be competent in making his own plans, even impressing Rouge the Bat with his ability.[20]

    Weapons and equipment During his early career, Tumble made use of Wispons. He was later stripped of his Wispons when he got thrown in jail.[8]

    After helping Dr. Starline, Tumble received a prosthetic club tail from Dr. Eggman. With it, Tumble could perform tail swipes at deadly speeds and with enough power to crack the earth, break stone walls and deflect Sonic's Spin Attack. However, he lost this device when Sonic destroyed it.[7]

    While allied with Starline, Tumble received a Core Gear for Power that allowed him to harness Power Cores' energy automatically.[17]

    Relationships Rough the Skunk Rough the Skunk is Tumble's brother and his partner in crime. They are very close and highly coordinated with each other, capable of destroying entire armies of Badniks, occupying towns, and terrorizing its inhabitants together.[8] Their joint attack is the Grand Stink Bomber Slam, with which they are able to destroy powerful robots.[6] While they like each other and easily forgive each other for their mistakes, they are often childish, prompting them to argue over trivialities such as which one of them managed to destroy the most robots.[6][18] This attitude caused them to split up for a day, only for them to reunite when they discovered they were doing the same plan.[20]

    Tumble and Rough have a habit of introducing themselves with rhyming introductions where they brag about their skills,[7][8][9] though Tumble has brought up that they often slant rhyme.[20] They also feel that they do not need any team, as they will always have each other.[18]

    Sonic the Hedgehog Tumble regards Sonic the Hedgehog as his lifelong enemy after he ended their occupation of Barricade Town.[8] Since then, Tumble and Rough have tried to get revenge on Sonic by finding suitable weapons for themselves, forging alliances with dangerous people such as Dr. Starline and Dr. Eggman along the way. However, they always fail, which only makes them even more angry than before.[7][9][16]

    Dr. Starline Tumble was once released from prison by Dr. Starline to help bring him Dr. Eggman. In return, they were to receive weapons designed by Eggman that would allow them to defeat Sonic. However, Tumble grew impatient as Starline dragged out their arrangement, prompting him to urge Starline on.[9]

    When Starline offered to cooperate with Tumble and Rough a second time, this time on the pretext of a united revenge plot against Dr. Eggman, Tumble initially rejected his offer, insisting that Starline turned them into Zombots during the Metal Virus plague. However, he quickly agreed when Starline offered to build him and Rough new weapons.[16] As Tumble and Rough began cooperating with Starline and their new team, they would want to include them all in their rhyming introductions. Later, however, they found that Starline was only using them and so sought to get revenge on him.[17] After Starline escaped them however, Tumble and Rough decided that they did not need Starline's team and they would start all over again by themselves.[18]

    Dr. Eggman Tumble and Rough once kidnapped Dr. Eggman while he was suffering from amnesia on Dr. Starline's orders. Once Starline could restore his memory, Tumble hoped that Eggman would give them new weapons.[9] Initially, Tumble was unconvinced that Eggman, who had become a reformed handyman, was the infamous would-be despot.[11] After Eggman had recovered, Tumble and Rough would put a lot of pressure on Eggman for making weapons for them that they did not like at first, until Eggman revealed that they had mixed up the schematics that had been delivered to them.[9] When they failed Eggman however, they begged him for a second chance, irritating him even more.[7][13] Soon after, they unknowingly became Eggman's guinea pigs and the first victims of Metal Virus when the doctor equipped them with backpacks filled with the virus without revealing their contents or function.[14]

    Keys: Harem member, Lanolin the Sheep.

    Lanolin the Sheep[4] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. She is an anthropomorphic sheep from Riverside and a member of the Restoration. She is responsible for the creation of the second generation of Diamond Cutters.

    Appearance Lanolin is an anthropomorphic sheep with cloudy white wool on her head for hair, a light tan muzzle with a black/salmon nose, and slate blue eyes with light powder blue sclera and two eyelashes on each one. She possesses black/brown pointy and stubby horns on top of her head, droopy medium-long ears with light tan canals, and black/brown hoof stubs for fingertips. She also has a large tuft of wool on her forehead while the rest of her hair is kept in four buns. Lanolin has worn many outfits over time. Initially, she wore an amber dress with a teal/green sash tied in a ribbon at the back, teal/green hairbands, and brown shoes with straps or brown Mary Jane shoes with gray buttons, golden jingle bells and tan soles.[6] When Lanolin was working at Restoration HQ, she wore an orange long-sleeved dress with collar under a green long-sleeved shirt, black hairbands, pearl earrings, white gloves, and lilac and white shoes.[7] While assisting the Restoration during the Metal Virus evacuations, she wore a red, pink and black jumpsuit with black knee, elbow and shoulder pads, red hairbands, red fingerless gloves, red and pink shoes with white toes and dark gray soles, and a pair of goggles with pink lenses, red frames and black straps on her head.[8] On Angel Island, Lanolin wore a black tank top, green pants with red belt, black hairbands, orange and white sneakers, orange fingerless gloves, and white socks. She also wore black knee, elbow and shoulder pads, and goggles with light blue lenses, gray frames and black straps on her head with this outfit.[9] At the party in Spiral Hill Village, she wore a green blouse, a short orange skirt, green socks, and brown loafers with gray soles.[10] For cold weathers, she wore a tan oversized sweater, olive green leggings, cream snug warm boots with white Harrison cuffs and dark gray soles, and had no hairbands.[11] Her latest outfit has her with a black sports bra, orange/yellow tank top, green cargo pants, a brown belt with a golden buckle, brown and tan combat boots with zipper sliders, orange/yellow hairbands, black elbow sleeves, and brown fingerless gloves.[12] For the most part, Lanolin wears a bronze cowbell hanging in a green choker with a gold clip around her neck. She later wears the Golden Bell, her personal custom bell Wispon, hanging in a gray choker with a gold clip around her neck.[4]

    History Fallout! Lanolin arrives Lanolin arriving to alert Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #2.

    When Sonic was defending Riverside from Badniks, Lanolin alerted him and Amy Rose of an invasion force coming in from the west side of town. Sonic, Amy, and the local militia disposed of this invasion force immediately after.[6] Lanolin was terrified of the invasion and didn't want anyone to feel so helpless and unprepared like she was.[2]

    Infection Inspired by Sonic's heroism,[4] Lanolin joined the Restoration and assisted with the operations at Restoration HQ.[7]

    Crisis City As the Metal Virus pandemic escalated, Lanolin continued with her duties at the Restoration HQ.[13]

    The Last Minute and Big's Big Adventure Lanolin was busy checking notes on a clipboard when Big visited Restoration HQ in search of Froggy. She paid little attention to the cat, even as one of her co-workers struggled to drag him back in line after Gemerl denied him entry. Restoration HQ fell to the Metal Virus soon afterward, with only a handful of survivors, including Lanolin, managing to escape in a rescue shuttle.[14] She later joined in on the evacuation of Spiral Hill Village after the Metal Virus was dumped there.[8]

    All or Nothing After escaping from Spiral Hill Village, the survivors went to Angel Island. Lanolin was in the rescue shuttle's cockpit when Rouge contacted the Restoration from aboard the Faceship. While Amy took the call, Lanolin nervously glanced up at an infected Sonic as he sat atop her seat.[15] Later, she helped the Restoration set up camp on the island with the remaining uninfected.[9]

    Out of the Blue Later on, Lanolin attended the party at Spiral Hill Village to celebrate the end of the Metal Virus pandemic.[10]

    Chao Bases and Badnik Races At some point, Lanolin took a trip to the White Park Grand Chateau.[11]

    Test Run! Yes, Director! Lanolin leading Belle to the machine shop by Jewel's request, from Sonic the Hedgehog #37.

    Lanolin eventually returned to the Restoration, working on the day-to-day operations of the new Restoration HQ. There, she showed Belle to the Machine Shop after being asked to do so by Jewel. Lanolin would greet the Chief Mechanic and introduce him to Belle, only for the Chief to remind Lanolin about her formalities and needing to relax. Embarrassed, Lanolin leaves Belle in the Chief's care.[12]

    Zeti Hunt! While in Restoration HQ, Lanolin met Vector, who informed her that the Chaotix had come at the request of Jewel. Embarrassed, Lanolin called Jewel loudly on the walkie-talkie, then made her departure.[16]

    Trial by Fire While at the Forest Ridge Zone Campground, Lanolin would scamper around among the scared campers while a forest fire was going on around them.[17]

    Shattered Diamonds Tangle, Lanolin, and Whisper are sitting in the woods surrounding a bonfire when Tangle ask what's taking Sonic so long, and Lanolin adds on saying that he said he's on the way, and that it hasn't changed since she asked 5 minutes ago. Whisper then tells Tangle that there's nothing wrong with a moment of calm. Soon Sonic and Tails arrive with Sonic apologizing for the wait and says they had a few Badnik's to pummel and Tangle responding saying how she could've benefited but Tails reassures there will be plenty of Badnik's in Eggperial City and they hero's leave.[18]

    Urban Warfare Lanolin's inspiration Lanolin telling Sonic how he inspired her to join the Restoration, from Sonic the Hedgehog #57

    Lanolin proposed to Jewel for the Restoration to have a rapid-response team to both protect people and act against threats before they cause damage. Jewel approved the idea and Lanolin searched for volunteers. She was able to get Tangle and Whisper to join the team. Lanolin then heard about Eggman's new base and wanted to take the team in to explore it. Sonic met with the new team and Lanolin explained the situation. Sonic agreed to help and asked if the team had a name. Tangle suggested Diamond Cutters and Lanolin agreed to the name. Lanolin told Sonic she has been looking forward to working with him for a long time. Sonic said he didn't remember meeting her, and Lanolin said it was briefly when her town was saved by him. She told Sonic he was the inspiration for her to join the Restoration. Sonic said it was a pleasure to met her again and they shook hands. Lanolin then said they could leave whenever he was ready.

    Lanolin and Whisper scouted the Eggperial City, but when they saw no major defenses or traps, Sonic and Tangle rushed in, much to the shock of Lanolin. She complained about them being so reckless and said they can't beat the odds forever. Lanolin to Whisper joined in to defeat the wave of Badniks Sonic and Tangle, with Lanolin using Maggie to fight. Once the Badniks were destroyed, Lanolin yelled at Sonic for rushing in and not being stealthy. Sonic said slow wasn't his thing and Tangle apologized for still getting used to team dynamics. Sonic then asked what they should do next, and Lanolin used Whisper's Green Wisp to scout the city. She concluded the city has gotten bigger, which made Tangle wonder how since there was no visible construction equipment. Sonic then transformed into Green Hover to survey more of the city. When he came back, Sonic told Lanolin she was right the city was growing, and it was healing itself. Lanolin wondered where it was getting the resources to grow and repair itself. Tangle speculated they were mining underground, and Sonic remembered Belle saw a tunnel network under the city. Lanolin agreed to check them out, but with caution.

    The team went into the tunnels and quietly took out Badniks as they descended, with Lanolin using Maggie to take out several of them. When they reached the lowest point, Whisper blew a hole into the floor with her Variable Wispon and Tangle and Lanolin rappelled inside to look around. Using Maggie as a light, they discovered the ground had been stripped mined empty. They got out and Lanolin relayed this to Sonic, who concluded Eggman was making a city that would grow itself until it covered the entire planet. Lanolin said they needed to return to HQ to get backup and march on the city. Sonic countered that they should do it now. Lanolin was against the idea, as their team was untested, and they needed more help. Sonic countered the city was only going to get bigger if they fall back, but Lanolin said it would grow unopposed if they got taken out today

    Lanolin's frustrations and Tangle's consolation Lanolin expresses her desperation while Tangle comforts her, from Sonic the Hedgehog #58.

    After some more arguing, a portal device appeared in front of them. Sonic and Tangle recognized it from Eggman's Tower when they were put in a cyber realm. Sonic ran off while Tangle held onto him, with her holding Lanolin and Whisper with her tail. Just as they got out of the elevator shaft, a Zoomer broke Sonic and Tangle's grip, causing Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin to fall into the portal.[4] The trio was then taken into a parallel world where they could see and hear others, but could not interact or be seen by anyone. Lanolin was sitting with her head in her knees when Tangle asked her if she had a plan, but she told her she wasn't the boss. Tangle said she had the traits to be one and her and Whisper can't do it. Lanolin said she wasn't cut out for this and when Tangle asked why she created the team, Lanolin said desperation. She still remembered how her home town was attacked and didn't want anyone to feel the helplessness she felt. She called the mission a failure and blamed herself for it. Tangle tried to cheer her up by saying they failed together, which didn't help. Tangle went on to say she's made a lot of mistakes, but Jewel always helped her get back up. She said they will get out of this stronger and smarter. This got Lanolin to stand up and ask how she can be so sure. Tangle said because they're awesome and never give up.

    Tangle looked to Whisper for encouragement, but Whisper asked why she named the team after the crew of friends she lost. Lanolin thought Whisper's old team disbanded after the war. Whisper clarified they were betrayed and destroyed. Tangle profusely apologized to Whisper for naming the team Diamond Cutters and said she only had good intentions. Lanolin said they can change the name. Whisper admitted her old team were there for her and now only their Wisps are what's left of them. Whisper says she has been walking away from the people trying to help her. She realizes the only person not trying to help her is herself. Lanolin said she understands if Whisper can't trust people after being betrayed. Whisper clarified only one person took her life away from her and she isn't going to let his fear rule her life anymore. Whisper apologized for being a bad friend and asked for patience for her to move on. Lanolin then asked for her to be patient with her being bossy and inexperienced.

    They joined hands and Whisper told them they can remain the Diamond Cutters, saying their old team would be honored by it. Tangle then brought the two in for a group hug, with Lanolin asking for a limit on group hugs. Breaking the hug, Lanolin asked Whisper how her hold team would handle their situation. Whisper says their was no chain of command and they relied on their skills to figure out what to do. She said they would ask Claire for insight, which led to Tangle asking Whisper to scout for them. Lanolin then realized no Badnik can attack them since they can barely interact with the world. So, they could scout the city bypassing security and relay the information to Sonic once they returned them to normal. Tangle teased that she made a plan, and Lanolin said it was some direction at least. Whisper suggested they head to the central tower and Lanolin lead the group to head out.[2]

    The Diamond Cutters made it into the command room of the tower where they saw Eggman with Orbot and Cubot overseeing the attack on the other heroes who arrived. Lanolin tried to stop Tangle from touching Metal Sonic, saying it isn't how they do things. Tangle said they aren't going to spot them, and Lanolin gave up and told them to find some useful information. They then saw on a monitor Shadow Androids attacking Sonic and the others. This caused Whisper's trauma of her friends' deaths to come back. Tangle comforted Whisper and Lanolin joined her.

    The team saw Eggman restart the city's power because of a power surge caused by Shadow. As he expressed his anger that he can't see where the Restoration members on, Lanolin tells Tangle that surge nearly disabled the entire city. She speculated if they trigger a bigger one, and stop Eggman from throttling it, they can destroy the city. Tangle agreed to the idea, but they suddenly started to become visual to the real world again. Lanolin told them not to panic and they froze when Eggman sees them.

    Eggman said he had seen them before and they ran into his Spatial-Displacement Trap. Eggman says they almost escaped when the power dipped, but revealed his new models that can shatter their atoms into oblivion. Whisper shoots Eggman with her Wispon, but it goes right through him. Eggman says her Wispon has been separated from normal space and she can't hurt him. The hexagonal trap surrounds Whisper and closes around her. Another trap started to surround Tangle, but Lanolin shoved her out of the way. Lanolin commanded her to find the others and tell them what to do. Before she could give more instructions, the trap closed in on her as Tangle looked on in horror.[19]

    Thanks to the efforts of Tangle, Sonic and Amy, Tails was able to disable the computer system that had Lanolin and Whisper trapped. Lanolin and Whisper made it to the main tower where Eggman was holding Tangle at gunpoint. Lanolin came in an introduced the Diamond Cutters to Eggman, with Whisper hitting the doctor on her cue. Tangle cried tears of joy for their return, but Lanolin said all that mattered was they were back and they needed to leave. She then took her Golden Bell and transformed it to damage the glass wall around the control room with a concentric sound wave. Once Sonic kicked Metal Sonic out of the tower, she and the rest of the Diamond Cutters left. They made their way to the Giant Fake Chaos Emerald tower Shadow created, with Lanolin having trouble getting on it. She watched on as Tangle and Whisper helped Sonic destroy the main tower. Lanolin and the other heroes on the tower were then protected by Silver as some Giant Emeralds began to explode.[20]

    Misadventures DuojoinsDiamondCutters "Duo" joins the Diamond Cutters, from Sonic the Hedgehog #62.

    In a meeting with the Diamond Cutters at Restoration HQ, Lanolin told her teammates their first mission was technically a success but was almost a disaster and they had work to do. She asked Whisper how her old team organized themselves, and Whisper said they were all volunteers initially. Tangle asked if she has been thinking of recruiting and Lanolin told her they need to diversify their options. They would have more ideas, skills, and options if there are multiple threats with more people. Lanolin took away the paddle board Tangle was playing with while she was talking. Duo the Cat then walked in on their meeting and Lanolin asked if he needed anything. Duo asked if their team was accepting volunteers and made a pitch for him to join the team. He sat down for questions and Lanolin asked if he had any special skills or prior experience he could bring to the team. She pushed away the paddle board before Tangle could grab it while she asked. Duo said he was good with computers and could handle a Wispon. Tangle thought they should give him a chance and Whisper said it was better to start recruiting during peacetime. Lanolin said she was happy to have him on the team and his training would be his trial assessment. Lanolin asked if he lived nearby, and Duo said he didn't think about where he would live. Lanolin asked Tangle to find a place for him to stay and the lemur left with Duo.[21]

    Lanolin would later bring the Diamond Cutters to Green Hill for a training exercise, which included newcomers Duo and Silver. She told them their mission was to work on coordinating moves and communication. She headed to the bottom of the Canyon with Tangle and Whisper, while Silver raised some rocks. Lanolin asked Silver to bring the rocks to her, but Duo kicked Silver, causing him to lose hold of the rocks, letting them fall their way. Suddenly, a Giant Chopper broke out of the canyon wall and started to flood the valley. She asked Whisper to fly them out, but Whisper said it would be too slow. Tangle used her tail as a grapple and they swung out of there. She told them to split up and she flew with Whisper, using her Wispon to destroy the rocks. They reached higher ground and she asked where the boys were. They found Duo next to the Chopper and asked were Silver was. Duo was about to explain when Silver escaped the Badnik and threw it aside. He accused Duo of ditching him. Lanolin told him not to point fingers and she expected better control from him. Silver said it was an accident, but she didn't accept the excuse and told him to do better.[22]

    Lanolin and Whisper argue Lanolin not believing in Whisper's suspicion, from Sonic the Hedgehog #64.

    Later, Lanolin would catch Silver and Whisper spying on Duo and save the cat from falling over a railing. She called for them to come out from hiding and asked Silver what he was trying to do. Whisper said they were spying on Duo because he was Mimic in disguise. Lanolin demanded proof, but Whisper said they would later and she already saw some tells he was. Lanolin defended Duo, saying Whisper was harassing a teammate. Whisper tried to push her aside, but Lanolin pushed her to the ground and was disappointed Whisper couldn't control herself. She told they needed to talk about problems as a team, but Whisper kept fighting her. During their tussle, Silver seemingly hurt Duo, shocking the crowd including Lanolin. Jewel came to the scene and asked who started this. Lanolin pointed to Silver and said, until he could act more responsibly, Silver should be off the team. Whisper agreed, and after shooting a look at Tangle, the lemur also voted him off.[23] Lanolin was present with the Diamond Cutters when Surge and Kit were introduced to them by Sonic and Amy. She expressed concern for them possibly joining their team but was willing to allow it if Amy recommended them joining. Amy did not appreciate the comment.[24]

    Phantom Riders Lanolin coldly scolding Team Sonic Lanolin coldly disqualifying Sonic, Tails and Amy from the Clean Sweepstakes race, from Sonic the Hedgehog #69.

    Lanolin, along with the other Diamond Cutters enter the Clean Sweepstakes race as referees for the event, she takes a Heavy Bike as her Extreme Gear. As the Babylon Rogues catch up with Sonic, Tails, and Amy, the Diamond Cutters literally blow in the middle of conversation, and they begin arguing with them. Suddenly, Amy, Tails and Sonic's Extreme Gears malfunctioned, causing the crash. During the equipment malfunction, Tails and Sonic hold on to Amy, but then suddenly she lets her board go, leaving the trio on the road. Lanolin then tells the trio to leave the race, as they're as much as a hazard as their Extreme Gear. Tangle then yells at Lanolin, telling her that it's their friends, but "Duo" agrees with Lanolin. The latter retorts that a pileup was only averted due to Whisper's good aim as the Diamond Cutters drive off.[25]

    In the second race, when the Phantom Rider would cause trouble on the track, Lanolin demanded to Duo to call for the Clean Sweepstakes Security for backup, saying how the Phantom Rider is going down. Later once the security arrived, they would surround the Phantom Rider. Lanolin used her wispon, causing the track to break. Lanolin, along with Tangle and Whisper, would help people get to safety.[26]

    In Misty Spire, Lanolin flies by when suddenly Nite is heard attempting to calm the audience and assuring them that the referees will deal with the situation. Another individual wearing nearly the exact same disguise as Sonic but riding a different Extreme Gear has appeared in the arena, holding Duo's scarf as he mocks the Diamond Cutters for being unable to stop him. The new Phantom Rider charges at the racers, knocking one off his board with one hand and catching a ball with the other. He is then surrounded by the Diamond Cutters, only to throw his ball at Lanolin, knocking her off her Heavy Bike, and flee. Later on, Lanolin is training with a punching bag while Duo apologizes for being eliminated by the Phantom Rider. He mentions that Tangle and Whisper said the Phantom Rider ran away but raises the question of if they are hiding something or trying to spare their feelings. He adds that it is hard to say what they would do alone and that they are lucky to have Lanolin guiding them.[27]

    Diamond Cutters argument Lanolin getting angry at Tangle and Whisper for keeping the identity of the Phantom Rider from her, from Sonic the Hedgehog #74.

    The final event would begin with Nite announcing it is set right in the streets of Central City. Suddenly the Phantom Rider appears, and soon the Diamond Cutters surround him with Lanolin telling him that he is done and it's enough and Lanolin counties saying that he would not like her kick on her wispon. Sonic disagrees when suddenly the Babylon Rogues surround him when Nite announces a halt in the race, saying that everyone is going after the Phantom Rider with him dodging attacks from Lanolin. Soon Lanolin was about to fire at him until Tangle stops her saying she will hit Sonic.[28] Later on, after Nite broadcasted the crimes of Clean Sweep Inc. and exposed Clutch. Lanolin watches as the shuttle falls when suddenly Duo appears to which Lanolin asks where he's been. He reveals that Tangle and Whisper knew Sonic was the Phantom Rider and did not tell them which causes Lanolin to lash out on them when Surge interrupts saying Sonic left. Lanolin rushes towards him with Sonic saying they can do whatever they want with him later but he's going to save the people on the shuttle which Tangle convinces her to let this go until after to Lanolin agrees saying they have work to do.[29]

    Lanolin using Golden Bell as microphone Lanolin using the Golden Bell as a megaphone, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Duo reconvenes with the rest of the Diamond Cutters, apologizing for his brief absence. Lanolin tells him to stay close, as this is no time to wander off. Just then, Clutch calls Duo via the walkie-talkie hidden in his scarf, alerting the others as he is addressed by his real name and ordered to come provide backup on the main deck. He awkwardly attempts to dismiss it as a "wrong number", but both Tangle and Whisper yell at him and give chase. With his identity exposed, Mimic returns to his original form, throwing his walkie-talkie at Whisper as he attempts to flee the scene. Lanolin, however, remains behind, staring in disbelief at what has unfolded. The course continues falling apart, with a mine falling dangerously close to the crowd. Lanolin then uses her Golden Bell to get everyone's attention, introducing herself as a member of the Restoration's Diamond Cutters and assuring the civilians that they will guide the ship to a safe landing. She expresses her remorse to Tangle and Whisper, acknowledging the way she has acted and the mistakes she has made. She tells them she understands if they do not trust her or do not want to continue working with her, but Tangle tells her to save it, as they are all on the same side and have people to save. Whisper agrees with the statement, admitting that she has also made her share of mistakes. Tangle adds that she is still irritated, but they will talk about it later, which Lanolin thanks her for. While the Diamond Cutters set out to save the city, Mimic, disguised as a civilian, continues to hide anxiously within the crowd.

    At the sight of the destroyed HQ, Jewel drops to her knees and begins sobbing. While Amy tries to comfort her, The Diamond Cutters then arrive as well, with Tangle running over to check on Jewel. Distraught by the loss of Restoration HQ, Jewel believes that she has failed and that the Restoration is over, but Tangle points her attention to all the members who are alive and well, helping Jewel as well as Lanolin realize that the people are what truly define the Restoration rather than the building. The heroes prepare to go clean up the mess and rebuild, with Don forcing Rough and Tumble to help as payment for the ride down.[30]

    Scattered Pieces Many days after Restoration HQ's destruction, Silver decides to chek on the Diamond Cutters, knowing they might be going throught a hard time. He flies to an clean area in Emeraldville Ruins where he finds Jewel, Tangle, Whisper, Lanolin and Belle, who is petting Motobud, sitting down with sad and worried expressions. Upon seeing Silver, Lanolin immediately looked away in embarrassment, feeling apparently guilty for casting him out when he joined the team. After a moment of awkward silence, When she hears Jewel saying she will quit the restoration, Lanolin tries to object but was interrupted. Lanolin stays quite and listens while Jewel expresses her frustrations and then gets comforted by Tangle.

    Lanolin admits her mistakes Lanolin admitting how blind she was and apologizing to her friends, from Sonic the Hedgehog #76.

    Lanolin speaks next, after rethinking strategically on how to say it, she simply says she is sorry. Lanolin says she have wanted so bad to make things better and make them sense for such a long time, and now she sees that she was so fixated on her goal that she lost sight of the process and the people in it, which was the reason she joined the Restoration in the first place. Because of her blindness, she was easily manipulated by Mimic, she lost her teammates' trust, especially when they found out Sonic was the Phantom Rider and she became a liability. Lanolin genuinely apologizes to her friends, and apologizes the most to Silver and Whisper for not believing their suspicious on Duo being Mimic. Silver forgives her and thanks her. Lanolin also claims she can't let things end like this and needs to make it better. She knows she can't and shouldn't be the one to restart the Restoration and decides to start small, with her first plan being to restore Emeraldville to make it a safe and clean space for people to live again, which she asks nervously if it's reasonable. While Tangles whispers it seems a large thing to do, Jewel asks Lanolin she has experience to do it, which the latter awkwardly responds she doesn't. But Jewel claims she doesn't have either, but has learned a lot of things while managing things. She offers for her and Lanolin to work together on restoring Emeraldville slowly, which the latter tearfully accepts and thanks. In the same atmosphere, Tangle and Whisper and Silver agree to look for Mimic together, while Belle decided to travel the world with Motobud. Tangle awkwardly, comments oh how this is it for the Diamond Cutters, disbanding so quickly after forming, and apologizes to Whisper for the comment. But the latter responds it is okay, as they are better on their own terms, but she prefers to say "see you later" than "goodbye". Lanolin thanks her friends for letting her be a part of this and Jewel thanks Silver for his help. Silver claims the Diamond Cutters are not done yet, he uses his psychokinesis to gather everyone together for a group hug and yells: "Diamond Cutters, together forever!", with Lanolin smiled awkwardly during. Lanolin and Jewel later start planning together their first steps on restoring Emeraldville together.

    Personality Lanolin has a helpful and hardworking mindset, as she is willing to do many tasks for the Restoration. She is good at following orders but is very formal about it. As such, Jewel and others have to remind her to not act so official while greeting them.[12] Lanolin also appears to get startled easily, whether it is from Badniks to being called by her boss.[6][12] She also prefers to make sure she and her group are prepared and have a plan ready before going in for an assault against their enemies, and is therefore easily flabbergasted by the blatant recklessness of heroes like Sonic and Tangle. Lanolin prefers to do things that do not have a lot of risk but is willing to put herself in danger when needed.[4] Lanolin recognizes when others are hurting and is willing to help them out. She has also admitted to having an issue with being bossy.[2]

    Lanolin is described that just as Tangle, she was inspired by Sonic's acts of heroism, causing her to join the Restoration. However, she started to grow frustrated in secret over how the organization started to focus on humanitarian efforts and how Sonic his friends dealt with Eggman, wanting them to focus in dealing with attacks from criminals with a direct approach, instead of waiting for them to strike first.

    There's a lot I have to answer for. I've made mistakes. And I... I don't blame you for not trusting me. I know how I can be. I've changed and not always for the better. But I'll learn. — Lanolin the Sheep, Sonic the Hedgehog #75 She takes her duties as a new member of the Diamond Cutters seriously, but unfortunately, due to stress with organizing the team, she comes across as cold and abrasive, despite having good intentions, such as not checking on her friends' well-being. She also has some difficulty listening to her team, not looking into Silver or Whisper's accusations and concerns on how Team Sonic's boards mysteriously malfunctioned, as well as having a sense for being stubborn which makes her react wrong to how certain people act.[31] However, after Duo is exposed as Mimic and she realizes that he has been manipulating her all along, she becomes much less stubborn and more open, apologizing to Tangle and Whisper and admits that she made mistakes and that they might not want her to be their leader. When Tangle and Whisper claim they will still work together to save the people in the event, Lanolin is very grateful. She eventually realizes, along with Jewel, that it's the people what the Restoration is truly about.

    Afterwards, in a meeting with the Diamond Cutters, Lanolin not only apologized, but showed that after the fiasco of the Clean Sweeptakes race, she was humbled, and not only did she acknowledge that she only has herself to blame when her own team and boss had no reason to trust her for being easily manipulated by Mimic, but also that her own frustrations blinded her that the Restoration focusing on humanitarian efforts was for a good reason, and despite having the idea of leading a group, she had no idea how to, this showed how the experience changed her, but that she wanted to start over with her team on better terms.

    Powers and abilities Lanolin is a well trained fighter, being able even to confront Whisper, who is highly trained soldier, on a tussle. Lanolin is also very agile.

    Equipment Main article: Golden Bell Lanolin saving Tangle Lanolin saving Tangle using her wispon, from Sonic the Hedgehog #57.

    The Golden Bell worn around her neck is her Wispon. When her Magenta Wisp, Maggie, enters it, the clacker will glow magenta. Lanolin can fire concentrated sonic waves when the bell is struck. The bell can also be rung as an alarm or distress bell.[4] When transformed, ringing the bell releases massive, concentric sound waves, leveling everything in their wake. Directing this attack requires considerable skill and concentration, making it potentially dangerous to a novice user.[31] The Golden Bell can also transform into a loudspeaker.

    Relationships Sonic the Hedgehog You saved my town of Riverside from a Badnik invansion a while back. You inspired me to do more so I joined the Restoration. Soon I was working directly with Director Jewel. — Lanolin the Sheep, Sonic the Hedgehog #57 Sonic and Lanolin Sonic and Lanolin getting to know each other properly, from Sonic the Hedgehog #57.

    Lanolin respects Sonic the Hedgehog for his experience and is grateful for him saving her hometown from a Badnik attack. She accredits Sonic as her inspiration to join the Restoration. On the other hand, she takes issue with his impatience and leap-before-you-look attitude.[4]

    However, Lanolin's cold and abrasive behavior had their relationship strained. During the Clean Sweepstakes' first event, when Sonic, Tails and Amy's Extreme Gear got out out control, instead of asking if they were hurt, she coldly called the trio a hazard for the race and had them disqualified. When the "Phantom Rider" showed up in the second event, Lanolin held a very bad opinion on him and was determined to have him taken to justice, that when she didn't know it was Sonic. But when she did find out Sonic was the Phantom Rider, she didn't mellow down nor show concern over the reason of his actions, and wanted to take him in custody anyway. Lanolin only calmed down when the shuttle was crashing flown to the city, where she agreed to deal with Sonic later to save people.

    But when Duo was exposed as Mimic, Lanolin finally realized that Mimic and Clutch were the real villains in this. She did not talk to Sonic nor mention his "Phantom Rider" dilemma after the Restoration HQ was destroyed, but it seems like she is no longer mad at him after her attitude and point of view changed.

    Amy Rose I have my concerns, but if they're coming on the recommendation of Former Commander Rose, I won't object. — Lanolin the Sheep, Sonic the Hedgehog #67 Lanolin and Amy Lanolin trusting's Amy judgment, from Sonic the Hedgehog #67.

    Lanolin respects Amy Rose as well, as she is the previous director and founder of the Restoration. Even when Amy stepped down her role, Lanolin still respects her. As shown when Amy offered Surge and Kit to join, although Lanolin had concerns, she decided to give them a chance since it was Amy's idea. Lanolin would also refer to Amy as "Former Commander Rose", which the latter doesn't appreciate.

    However, Lanolin's cold and abrasive behavior had their relationship strained. During the Clean Sweepstakes' first event, when Sonic, Tails and Amy's Extreme Gear got out of control, she called the trio a hazard for the race and had them disqualified. But after "Duo" was exposed as Mimic, Lanolin realized how he manipulated her and how she treated her friends and teammates. Lanolin promised she would learn, which means her relationship with Amy will improve.

    Jewel the Beetle "We" can, huh? (sniff) I can work with that. Th-Thank you. — Lanolin the Sheep, Sonic the Hedgehog #76 Lanolin and Jewel Lanolin with Jewel explaining her idea of a rapid-response team, from Sonic the Hedgehog #57.

    Lanolin greatly respects Jewel the Beetle for being the director of the Restoration. She always refers to the beetle as "Director Jewel," or just "Director," even when the latter insists for the former to not to. Lanolin never objects Jewel's directions and follow her orders with great due respect. When Lanolin decided to build her own rapid-response team, she asked Jewel permission, which the latter agreed to help.

    Despite her respect and loyalty, Lanolin's harsh change of behavior caused Jewel to not trust her completely, as she only trusted Tangle and Whisper with the Clean Sweep Inc.'s intervision during the Clean Sweepstakes. However, their trust was eventually restored, and Lanolin gathered to help rebuild Restoration HQ after it's destruction.

    Jewel and Lanolin planning Lanolin and Jewel planning on helping Emeraldville together, from Sonic the Hedgehog #76.

    Lanolin would try to make Jewel change her mind of quitting the Restoration with no avail, but Tangle managed to do so after comforting her bestie. Lanolin later apologize to Jewel and to her other friends for her behavior, admittading she only wanted to make things right, but lost sight of the process and the people. When Lanolin explained her plan to make Emeraldville a nice city to live again, Jewel asked her if she had experience in town management, infrastructure and construction, the latter replies nervously she picked some pointers while working on the Restoration, but then admitted she had no experience with these. But Jewel comforted and offered the two of them to work together to learn everything they needed and make this work, Touched by her words, Lanolin tearfully thanked her director for her help.

    Maggie It is unknown how Lanolin met Maggie, but she has grown close to the Magenta Wisp. She uses the Wisp whenever she is in a combat situation, and Maggie is quick to respond to help. Lanolin also has Maggie out of the Golden Bell when she stressed or is relaxing, usually with her resting on her right hand.[4]

    Tangle the Lemur Diamond Cutters' reconciliation Tangle and Whisper giving Lanolin a chance to save everyone in the shuttle, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Lanolin has an issue with Tangle the Lemur being reckless and not thinking about the team first. However, she sees her as an equal on the team and has grown to see that she has some insight.[4][2]

    However, Tangle and Lanolin's relationship became strained for a while. During the Clean Sweepstakes' first event, when Sonic, Tails and Amy's Extreme Gear got out out control, Tangle was mad when Lanolin treated the trio coldly instead of caring for the safety. When Whisper and Tangle eventually learn the Phantom Rider is Sonic the Hedgehog, they decide to keep it from Lanolin, fearing what she'd do in response. When Duo told her about Tangle and Whisper's secret, she angrily lashed out at them for lying to her, but eventually cooled off to save the people on the shuttle. After Mimic got his cover blown unintentionally by Clutch the Opossum, Lanolin apologized to both Tangle and Whisper for her behavior. Tangle was able to put aside her hard feelings to save everyone, but made it clear to her team leader she was still mad, but claimed they can deal with it later on, much to Lanolin's genuine gratitude.

    Whisper the Wolf Lanolin has a more stable relationship with Whisper the Wolf, seeing the both of them as soldiers. While they have had moments of tension, Lanolin regards Whisper as both a friend and a valuable teammate. [4] [23]

    Despite this, Whisper and Lanolin's relationship can be tumultuous at times. Whisper initially accepts Lanolin's pitch to allow Duo the Cat onto the Diamond Cutters, but when Silver brings it to her attention that Duo might be Mimic, she and Silver do everything to stop him. When Whisper and Silver take action against Duo, Lanolin expresses her frustration that the two needed to stop pestering him. Whisper doesn't back down, leading the two to a bit of a scuffle. Lanolin voices her disappointment with Whisper, saying she could understand Silver's behavior, but Whisper is a soldier and needs to control herself. Lanolin, frustrated and annoyed votes to kick Silver out, which Whisper reluctantly agrees.

    During the Clean Sweepstakes event, Whisper, Lanolin and Tangle are all referees for the event, tasked for ensuring safety of the competitors and later catching the Phantom Rider. When Whisper and Tangle eventually learn the Phantom Rider is Sonic the Hedgehog, they decide to keep it from Lanolin, fearing what she'd do in response. When Duo told her about Tangle and Whisper's secret, she angrily lashed out at them for lying to her, but eventually cooled off to save the people on the shuttle. After Mimic got his cover blown unintentionally by Clutch the Opossum, Lanolin regretted that she haven't listened to Whisper, admitting her mistakes. Despite this, Whisper assures her back to she also made mistakes as well, leaving her and Lanolin on good terms.

    Silver the Hedgehog Lanolin kicks Silver out the team Lanolin voting Silver out of the team, from Sonic the Hedgehog #64.

    Lanolin apologizes to Silver Lanolin apologizing to Silver, from Sonic the Hedgehog #76.

    Lanolin and Silver the Hedgehog first work together to fight Eggman in his Eggperial City, but they did not interact. Later, they did interacted with each other when Silver joined the Diamond Cutters on their training exercise in Green Hill, which has a bad ending as "Duo" kicks Silver, making him drops rocks on the team. After the aftermath with the Giant Chopper, Lanolin doesn't believe Silver when he claims "Duo "ditched him, and when he says everything was an accident, she doesn't accept this excuse and reprimands him for not having control of his powers and tells him to do better next time. Lanolin doesn't believe Silver when he and Whisper suspect Duo is Mimic either, and after his failure to prove his point, Lanolin blames Silver for the chaos when Jewel asks what happened. Calling him irresponsible, Lanolin votes for Silver to stay away from the Diamond Cutters.

    But after the Clean Sweepstake event, when "Duo" turned out to be really Mimic, Lanolin realizes Silver and Whisper were right, and how she acted. Many days after the destruction of Restoration HQ, when Silver finds the Diamond Cutters with Jewel, Belle and Motobud, Lanolin immediately turns her head away as soon as he shows up, apparently embarrassed after the way she treated him. Lanolin genuinely apologizes to her friends, apologizing the most to Whisper and Silver, he forgives her and thanks her.

    Mimic the Octopus Lanolin defends Duo Lanolin defending "Duo" from Silver, from Sonic the Hedgehog #63.

    Although Lanolin hasn't meet Mimic the Octopus in person, she knows, from Whisper's stories, that he is a criminal and a selfish manipulator. When Mimic disguised himself as "Duo the Cat" to infiltrate the Restoration by Clutch's orders, Lanolin, as well as Tangle and Whisper, didn't realize it was him and didn't suspect him at first. Unfortunately, Lanolin fell to Mimic's manipulation, which affected her behavior and her friendships. Such as during the Diamond Cutters' training exercise in Green Hill, "Duo" made himself look like a victim after ditching Silver, and Lanolin put out the blame on the latter. He did the same when Silver and Whisper suspected Mimic's disguise; Lanolin didn't believe them and Mimic didn't drop the act, which caused Silver to get kicked out of the team by her vote.

    Lanolin's shock Lanolin completely in shock on discovering "Duo" was Mimic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #75.

    Things got worse during the Clean Sweepstakes event, as Lanolin was harsh and cold to Sonic, Tails and Amy for their malfunctioned gears and "Duo" supported her decision. He kept supporting her choices, claiming the Diamond Cutters were lucky to have her as their leader. "Duo" even made Tangle and Whisper look untrustworthy, revealing they knew Sonic was the Phantom Rider but kept it a secret, even saying directly he wasn't sure he could trust them. Despite this, Lanolin still treated "Duo" a little cold once in a while, such as telling him to stay close when he stayed behind

    However, when the Diamond Cutters discovered "Duo" really was Mimic all along, Tangle and Whisper immediately chased after him but Lanolin stayed behind, looking in complete shock and disbelief. She realized how she was manipulated and how her behavior had changed. Many days later, Lanolin admitted how her desire to make things right made her lost sight of the process and the people, and how this made her an easy target for Mimic' manipulation.

    Keys: In universe currency, Gold rings.

    The Ring[1][2] (リング[3][4] Ringu?), also known as the Gold Ring,[5] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Rings serve as a unique health system in gameplay throughout most of the series; in most cases, as long as the players hold even one Ring, it will protect them from losing a life upon taking damage. Instead, the players lose a portion of their Rings, though the amount varies between games. Aside from this, Rings have served many other purposes in different games, and collecting them grants bonuses like extra lives, Continues and points.

    Description Appearance and background Ring-Sonic-Unleashed-Teaser-Trailer Sonic holding a Ring in his hand, from the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed.

    What secrets do they hold? — Mission title, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle The Rings' design is based on either the basic and round-edged wedding rings or solid brass round rings. The size of Rings varies in certain games; in-game sprites and models show them being about half the size of the playable characters, while certain cutscenes or promotional material show them being small enough to be held in the palm of the hand. On their own, they spin around in one spot and either lie close to the ground or float in midair.

    While they do not appear special on the surface, Rings contain an unspecified form of energy referred to as "Ring Energy" which has energizing effects on machines, living beings and Super States. Rings' unique properties also allow large amounts of them to carried at once, although it is not known where one puts them as they apparently disappear when picked up; not even a genius like Tails knows for sure where they go.[6]

    Functionality Being the most common item in the games, Rings can be found everywhere in the primary playable levels. Generally, they are arranged in large clusters or in strings along pathways, off ramps, above Springs, around loops, along Grind Rails, or simply in midair. In general gameplay, the player can collect Rings by simply touching them. When this happens, they disappear, only leaving behind a small sparkle effect while a chime can be heard.

    Rings Everywhere! Once hit, Rings will spread out from the playable character in a circular pattern. Image from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit).

    The most recognizable and prevalent attribute of Rings is their function to prevent their holder from being defeated. In general, possessing even a single Ring prevents a character from losing a life upon taking damage from things such as impacts with enemies, enemy attacks or damage-inducing obstacles. If a character (unshielded or non-invulnerable) takes damage while holding Rings, they drop their Rings which are then scattered in a circular pattern and bounce around the environment, while the player gets stunned and pushed backwards. However, there are certain dangers Rings cannot protect against, such as being crushed, falling into bottomless pits, failing missions with a time limit and drowning. In the pre-mentioned cases, the player's Ring count will reset to zero should they restart the level. Taking damage without a Ring will result in the player dying. The protection from rings are powerful enough to save the wielder even from devastating damage of The End-Tattered Supreme.

    During the brief period where the players drop their Rings after taking damage, there is a chance to collect the scattered Rings, but they will eventually all disappear after a while. Also, upon taking damage and dropping the Rings, the player is given a momentary period of invulnerability (which is represented by the playable character rapidly flashing between visible and invisible). The amount of Rings the player drops when taking damage varies between games. In most cases, the player will drop all of them when taking damage, while in other games, only a portion of them will be dropped. The Rings' scattering pattern also varies in many later games, like in Sonic Rush where they bounce farther away the more hits the player takes. However, the player will not usually lose Rings if their character possesses any type of Shield and/or invincibility.

    In several games, fewer "recoverable" Rings are displayed on-screen when they are dropped than the number actually lost. While this amount varies, the maximum is usually around twenty; fewer are dropped in games on the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, about fifty are dropped in Sonic Rush, and about thirty-two in the mainline Sega Mega Drive games and the episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Regardless, it is impossible for the player to recover all their Rings when they drop them, unless they only carry a few of them.

    SG image2011 0725 2209 2 Different types of gimmicks reward the player with Rings, such as the slot machines. Image from the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations.

    Rings are normally earned by picking them up from the levels, but they can also be earned in other ways, depending on the game. Various games have Super Rings and similar power-ups which grant multiple Rings, Badniks in Sonic Advance 3 release Rings upon defeat, and completing Action Stages in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) give Rings for the Town Stages as awards. Many Zone gimmicks can as well reward the player with Rings. Once the player collects a hundred Rings, the player is usually awarded with an extra life and even sometimes with another one after collecting two hundred Rings. Likewise, the player earns points or sometimes continues by collecting Rings. The player can also complete certain requirements for unlocking extra features by obtaining Rings. Collecting and holding fifty Rings in several games will summon Star Circles or Giant Rings that lead to Special Stages, and in other games collecting enough Rings when passing checkpoints in the Special Stages will grant a Chaos Emerald.

    Aside from the aforementioned cases, the Rings serve other purposes. In the various games, they have been used as currency in Shops as exchange for items, payment to unlock special moves in gameplay, or assist with moves such as the Boost or Light Speed Dash. Rings are also essential to fueling a Super State or similar forms of transformations, such as Hyper Sonic or Burning Blaze, which in many cases can be activated after collecting fifty Rings. While in this state, the player's Ring count will typically decrease steadily, and once it reaches zero, the playable character reverts back to their normal state.

33. #33Spin Dashconstantselective

    Keys: Attack, Spin Dash.

    The Spin Dash (スピンダッシュ Supin Dasshu?) is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a variant of the Spin Attack where the user blasts forward with a revved-up Spin Attack from a stationary position. It is also one of Sonic's signature techniques.

    Since its introduction, the Spin Dash has become one of the most well-known and frequently used moves throughout the Sonic series.

    Description According to Sonic, he developed the Spin Dash during his "Genesis days" when he tried combining a somersault with running.[1]

    The Spin Dash, for all intended purposes, is a move that lets the playable characters dash off from a standstill. When performing the Spin Dash, the user first crouches down and curls up into a tight concussive ball or cutting disk. The user then starts charging up the Spin Dash from a stationary position by spinning rapidly on the spot and gaining potential energy before taking off into a high-speed rolling attack, dealing incredible damage to whatever they collide with. The move can be used for both attacking foes and simply travelling at high speeds.

    Some users have their features fluttering behind their curled form when using the Spin Dash, such as Tails' twin-tails and Cream's rabbit ears. Also, there are alternate poses one can assume when launching the Spin Dash; Espio would whirl around like a tornado, and Vector would curl into a spiky wheel when they performed the Spin Dash in Knuckles' Chaotix. When revving up the typical Spin Dash, the user also normally assumes an oval shape.

    In gameplay, while using the Spin Dash, the playable character can damage or shred through any unprotected enemy they collide with, break through walls and other weak obstacles, and dash up steep slopes or through loops without having to build up running momentum. It is also faster and lasts longer than the Spin Attack. Also, while revving up the Spin Dash, the playable character usually deals out damage to any enemy that makes contact with them. However, the characters are not invulnerable while Spin Dashing, as colliding with spikes and other hazards or getting crushed still causes damage.

    In the 2D side-scrolling Sonic games, the Spin Dash is typically charged by tapping the Jump button while pressing down on Directional buttons. After gaining enough potential energy, the player must release the down button to launch the Spin Dash. Some games have different ways to do the move, however; most 3D titles have the Spin Dash assigned to a single button because the directional controls are used to move the characters around the fields.

34. #34Honey the Catconstantselective

    Keys: Harem member, Honey the Cat.

    Honey the Cat is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian cat, fashion designer, and the founder and CEO of Honey Brand Clothes And Accessories. As the mind behind her Honey Clothing label, she works to promote her products in any way possible.

    Appearance Honey is a mobian cat with close-lying, light amber fur, a peach muzzle, and long jet-black hair that she keeps in two voluminous ponytails. She also has two triangular and perked ears with peach canals, a small black nose, small fangs, large orange eyes with two medium-length eyelashes on each one, thin arms and legs, and a slim tail with the end black. For attire, she wears a red hairband and elaborate white laced cloth-like hair barrettes around her ponytails, alongside a red sleeveless dress with a black collar and white laces on the lower rim. She also has a pair of white angel wings on the back, although it is unknown if they are real or not. Her dress also has a black sash around the waist, and a black area on her front skirt with white fasteners. Additionally, she wears white gloves with red backs and laced cuffs, black arm wrappers around her wrists, and red and black boots

    History Past HoneyandUndina Honey presenting the design for Princess Undina's umbrella, from Sonic Universe #92.

    At some point, Honey would finish all her design projects and become bored. She would then decide to learn martial arts in her spare time.[1] In the recent past, Honey also met Princess Undina in Empire City, who was traveling the world on her own. Undina agreed to model some clothing Honey designed in return for payments. In addition, Honey gave her a specially-designed umbrella.[2]

    Shattered World Crisis Act One Honey took part in Breezie the Hedgehog's Chaos Emerald Championship in Casino Park, along with the Hooligans and three of the Freedom Fighters. Unlike most of her fellow competitors, Honey was interested mainly in promoting her new fashion line, and agreed to give the Freedom Fighters the Chaos Emerald if she won in exchange for them modeling for her. This was particularly thrilling to her long-time fan Amy Rose, whose outfit was an old piece of Honey's from the "Dream-Casters" line. Honey was also thrilled to see Amy sporting the look, and determined to re-release it in Amy's honor as part of the "Rose Collection." While having good chemistry between them, it was somewhat unnerving to both Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower, the latter of whom was even more creeped out when Honey suggested that he could "accessorize".[3][4]

    Honeydefeatstails Honey defeats Tails, from Sonic the Hedgehog #269.

    Honey ended up facing off with Tails in the first round of the Championship, and proved to be quite the opponent for the young Freedom Fighter. She eventually used a trick to knock him out of the ring, and upon being accused of cheating by him replied that "all is fair in love and war." She then attempted to cheer him up-and failed miserably-by giving him one of her bow ties to wear. Following Knuckles the Echidna's victory over Bark the Polar Bear, Honey informed Amy that she was set to face Knuckles in round two, while Honey was going up against Sonic.[4]

    Honey offered to throw the fight against Sonic, knowing that he needed to stop Eggman, but Sonic wanted to give the crowd a show, so they fought anyway, with Sonic winning by throwing her sky high; despite her loss, Honey enjoyed the experience.[5] She then excitedly watched Sonic and Knuckles brawl in the championship round, but the match was cut short when the Hooligans knocked out the power in Casino Park on Dr. Eggman's orders. His servant, Metal Sonic, then burst in and attempted to steal the Emerald. Honey and the others tried to stop the robot, but he managed to keep going until finally being stopped by Tails and forced to retreat. Later that day, Honey started a business partnership with Breezie to design clothes for her robot staff. Here, she took the opportunity to question Breezie as to how Eggman's minions were able to get by so easily despite Breezie's defense system, nearly costing Sonic's team the Emerald. Breezie thought nothing of it, since she still profited from the incident. Honey was disturbed by the extent of Breezie's deviousness, but the hedgehog reminded her that she herself used trickery to defeat Tails. Told she would one day understand Breezie's way of thinking, Honey left the office, albeit visibly conscience-stricken.[6]

    Act Two Honeyandsallydeal Honey makes a deal with Sally, from Sonic the Hedgehog #280.

    While in Spagonia, Honey met Sally Acorn, who was trying to book a table at Restaurant Swa for Lucia's family. Honey was willing to trade her own reserved table in return for Sally giving her a royal design job. Sally responded by saying that when the time came she would let Honey wardrobe her whole coronation in exchange for the table.[7]

    Honey was among the many allies informed by Sally and Sonic of their plan to fix the shattered world. Honey agreed to join the diversionary world-wide attacks on Eggman's forces.[8] The plan was aborted when Eggman discovered it, but the world would still be restored. Honey herself would watch the world come back together while attending a meeting with Breezie in Empire City.[9]

    The Chase of the Pirate Princess Some time after the conclusion of the Shattered World Crisis, Honey was visited by Echo the Dolphin, who was searching for any clue on Undina's current whereabouts.[10]

    Personality Honey is upbeat and friendly, but also a determined businesswoman; going to such lengths to join a fighting tournament and hire the Freedom Fighters as modelers in an effort to advertise her products.[3] She has a very strong drive toward accomplishment, even taking up martial arts just for the sake of giving herself more to do between her work as a fashion designer and CEO of Honey Clothing.[1] Even when facing a problem, she has enough confidence to somehow get around it. However, while she has noble intentions, she can be quite devious in battle, though until Breezie pointed it out she seems to have thought little of it.[4][6] She appears to be the type of person who wants to put on a show for the people, as seen during the fighting tournament, she easily beat Tails despite there common interests and when she decided for forfeit her match with Sonic, she still put up a fight, regardless of her purpose to intentionally lose.

    Powers and abilities Shadow Sneak Honey performing the Shadow Sneak, from Sonic the Hedgehog #269.

    Honey is quite the agile fighter. With her "Shadow Sneak" technique, she can move fast enough in short bursts to create the illusion of producing multiple copies of herself to confuse her opponent. She was able to go toe to toe during her match against Tails and eventually won once outsmarting him. She was even able to match Sonic the Hedgehog himself for a time before he finally defeated her. She also has the skills of the fashion designer she is.

    Relationships Breezie the Hedgehog Honey is a business partner of Breezie the Hedgehog to design clothes for her staff. Their relationship is quite professional but Breezie's approach to certain dangers makes Honey uneasy, seeing how Breezie only cared for how she benefited from the popularity of the Chaos Emerald Championship rather than how Metal Sonic nearly stole the prize.

    Amy Rose Amy and Honey friendship Honey and Amy, from Sonic the Hedgehog #268.

    Amy Rose is a long-time fan of Honey, whose attire she recognized and was an old piece of one of her creations of the line "Dream-Casters". Honey was also delighted to see Amy wearing the look and was determined to re-launch it in Amy's honor as part of the "Rose Collection".

    Miles "Tails" Prower Honey was somewhat disconcerting to Tails and proves to be quite intimidating towards him. Nonetheless, she still appreciates Tails' work as a Freedom Fighter.

35. #35Wave the Swallowconstantselective

    Keys: Wave the Swallow, harem member.

    Wave the Swallow (ウェーブ・ザ・スワロー Wēbu za Suwarō?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic swallow who is the technical and mechanical expert of the current generation of Babylon Rogues. She is the daughter of the tech expert of the previous generation of Babylon Rogues, which she takes after,[2] and takes care of her groups' customized Extreme Gears.

    Because of her knowledge on Extreme Gear, Wave is brimming with self-confidence and can be a bit of a trash-talker and highly critical of others' work with Extreme Gear. She hates thick-headed or stupid people and she tends to give advice only she can understand.[1] Regardless, Wave is level-headed and serves as the voice of reason in the Babylon Rogues, though she is often mistreated by the other members.

    Appearance Wave the Swallow, from Sonic Riders. Wave the Swallow, from Sonic Riders. 1/5 Wave is an anthropomorphic swallow with purple feathers that cover her body and a white patch on her chest. Her hair is styled like a pair of long braids with dark purple tips. On her wrists there are light purple flame-like markings. She has a golden-curved beak, light purple eyelids, blue eyes with two eyelashes on each side of them, and a two-feathered tail.

    For attire, she wears a white bandana, white gloves that possess visible lining with gold bracelets and red lining, a white tube top that reveals her midriff and covers her torso, and white-flared pants with dark purple flames at the bottom. She also wears red boots with white accents, silver zippers and gray soles, a white necklace with a red utility gem, and gray sunglasses with gold lenses.

    Personality Because of her knowledge, Wave is brimming with self-confidence.[1] She is very arrogant about her expertise at Extreme Gear, certain that no one can match her in this field. She is a super-achiever and holds very high standards for how Extreme Gear should be and never hesitates to dismiss others' Extreme Gear as "junk". She takes great pride in her skills and is passionate about her profession, becoming indignant when someone insults or blames her work for their own failures. She has a keen eye for detail, takes notice of everything, and hates thick-headed and stupid people. Also, she tends to give advice using terminology understandable to only herself and not others. Naturally, this causes tension and frustration between her and others like Jet.[1]

    Wave often refuses to admit others' talents with Extreme Gear mechanics due to her dislike of anyone who could rival her. She often holds back on her compliments and will either continue to dismiss or deny that the person has any skill at all to cover up any sense of generous gesture she may hold. In the cases she does give compliments, she will disguise them as insults. It is only in the rarest of cases that Wave gives well-meant compliments.

    While generally fun-loving like the rest of the Babylon Rogues, Wave is very level-headed and serves as the voice of reason amongst her group, often lecturing Jet and Storm of their responsibilities. Because of her teammates' unreliability, Wave believes that she has to take charge of the team if anything is to get done. She is very serious on a job, staying dedicated to the task at hand, and insists on no lack of dedication from her companions. When things do not go as planned, however, she tends to get impatient. Also, she can be quite stubborn and obstinate when making a decision.[1]

    Wave is usually rude, with a sly attitude and snide sense of humor. Being the most outgoing of the Babylon Rogues, Wave has no problem insulting others and mocking their Extreme Gear. She will also take compliments or conversations from others and twist them around so that she can throw them back at others as a snide comment. Wave also finds amusement in insulting and degrading her opponents' skills during races.

    When it comes to accomplishing her teams' goal, Wave is perfectly willing to cheat in official competitions, such as sabotaging Sonic's Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders and second World Grand Prix, even without Jet knowing it. Likewise, she will gladly take whatever beneficial chance that might present itself, such as taking the Key to Babylon Garden on behalf of Jet when Sonic returned it despite Jet refusing to accept it.

    Wave also has a great deal of greedy love for money and treasure, and her primary motive in life is to acquire as much wealth as possible. This was her sole reason for willingly competing in the first and second World Grand Prix.

    Wave is a level-headed figure that is able to ride her Extreme Gear with style. Though she usually has a calm demeanor, she cannot help but get excited over treasure.[5]

    Wave is a greedy thief, having no qualms about plundering official institutions to in order to earn a profit. Even so, she is shown to have some moral standards, as she believes that there are certain lines that she and friends should not cross, like when she told Jet that they were only thieves and not kidnappers after accidentally kidnapped Jewel and when she found herself obligated to save Jewel after Storm threw her out of their blimp. In addition to this, Wave also often acts as the voice of reason in her gang, usually finding herself at odds with Jet on their ideals.[5]

    Despite her sophisticated and mature demeanor, Wave is also very stern seeing as she's not afraid to be tell Jet off for exaggerating his ego and get annoyed with Storm's stupidity when she needs to.

    Powers and abilities Like many other characters in the series, Wave is able to move around at super speeds on foot, enough to reach velocities well above 100 "Speed".[6] Wave possesses as well above average acrobatic skills and agility, enough to pull off advanced tricks and movements while in mid-air. Also, though Wave is not as strong or durable as people like Storm, she is shown to have some degree of physical endurance, as shown when she was attacked by SCR-HD, who knocked her over and slightly injured her, but otherwise emerged unharmed.[7]

    As the brains of the Babylon Rogues and their top mechanic,[8] Wave is an engineering genius.[9] Described as a really brilliant mecha mechanic,[10] Wave is a superb mechanic[11][12] who is capable of everything from modifying the group's Extreme Gears to repairing the rogues' airship.[1][8] However, while she is capable of fixing many things, Extreme Gear is her specialty.[11][12] Gifted in the craft of Extreme Gear mechanics, she has advanced mechanical knowledge and experience about tuning, building, and the workings of Extreme Gear that surpasses both Tails and Dr. Eggman in this area.[11][12] According to herself, no one else can tune an Extreme Gear the way she can.[13] Besides Extreme Gear and mechanics, Wave is also well-versed in other types of technologies and shows well-above general understanding of the functions and operations of different technologies, such as microchip-sized diaries,[14] MeteorTech's signal network,[15] explosives,[6] and even the Babylonians' technology.[16] Additionally, Wave is quite intelligent in the field of science and physics, being able to analyze and understand the scientific concepts of the Arks of the Cosmos.[16] She is as well a great scholar.[3] Not only can she analyze information or plot strategy better than anyone else on her team,[3] but she has also shown knowledge about how to decipher the ancient texts written by the Babylonians and is even capable of analyzing unknown treasures in her spare time.[17][8]

    Sonic Riders - Wave - Level 2 Wave riding her Extreme Gear while wielding her giant spanner, from Sonic Riders.

    As a member of the Babylon Rogues, Wave is a professional Extreme Gear rider, enough to be acknowledged as a wind master on a legendary level.[18] In fact, Wave is one of the best Extreme Gear riders in the world—she can move expertly at high speeds, perform complex and impressive tricks while in midair, and engage in combat with other Extreme Gear riders while maintaining precision and control.[3] She is also able to ride her Extreme Gear through mid-air with great accuracy and control.

    In addition to the above, Wave is a talented and professional thief.[19] Having pulled off successful heists and escaped capture from the authorities,[20] Wave is a skilled thief and talented with slight of hand. Additionally, Wave is skilled at utilizing various types of gadgets and tools efficiently in combat,[1] ranging from giant wrenches or spanners to small explosives that she plants on her opponents.

    Wave has proven herself to be a capable and swift Extreme Gear rider. Also, in addition to being a professional thief, she possesses a genius-level intellect.[21]

    Equipment and weapons Type W SFR The Type-W, from Sonic Free Riders.

    Wave's choice of equipment is her Type-W. The Type-W is a Board type Extreme Gear, constructed by Wave herself for flight at high altitudes. Thanks to Wave's Extreme Gear mechanics expertise, the Type-W is a highly advanced piece of technology with an ultra-compact body that contains high-standard mechanics.[9][22][21]

    In combat, Wave's preferred choice of weapon is a large wrench or spanner that she uses skillfully as a club in melee combat.[6][23][24] However, she also uses small packs of dynamite and other explosives that she plants on her opponents and then detonates.[6] Also, the red gem attached to Wave's necklace doubles as a utility device that is capable of loading data, projecting holographs, and functioning as an alarm clock.[3]

    Weaknesses Wave can be a snob, and, with the exception of Jet, she looks down on nearly everybody else.[3]

    Relationships Jet the Hawk Yeah. But you know who didn't run? you. You stuck with us to the bitter end. That was incredibly brave and noble of you Jet. — Wave the Swallow, Sonic the Hedgehog #30 Wave views Jet the Hawk as an unreliable younger brother, but regardless, she does respect his role as a leader and follows his leadership.[1]

    Unlike Storm, Wave would not be bothered if she would call her leader, Jet, by his name. She is the creator of Type-J and always follows Jet's orders. She seemed annoyed when Jet told her that her speeches are boring. However, despite almost always listening to Jet, she says in Sonic Riders, "Unless I take charge, nothing ever gets done here!" During the second World Grand Prix, she acts much more loyal towards Jet when she shows concern for his disapproval of Team Dark, telling him that he should just ignore them. Also, in one cutscene, she slightly bows towards Jet, approving of his riding skills. Despite this attitude change, she lies to him in the game. In the Babylon Story, before Jet was about to race Sonic, he told Wave not to cheat by doing "something" to Sonic's Extreme Gear. Wave told him that she did not do anything to his Gear, and Jet proceeded to race with Sonic. Suspiciously, Jet won, much to his concern, and found out that Wave had, in fact, tampered with Sonic's Gear. Wave apologized and claimed herself guilty, while Sonic and Jet prepared for a rematch without Wave interfering.

    Wave respects Jet enough as the leader of their group. Though Jet knows he can count on Wave to do a job well done, he does not appreciate her nagging over his wilder ideas. Wave only sees this as her being the voice of reason but Jet's impatience does not care much for this, even when he realizes that she is right, which prompts them to argue a lot. Despite this, Wave and Jet do care about each other enough to ride or fight together to the end. Notably, Wave would praises Jet for his prudent decisions to remain by their side against the Zombots on the battlefield, but the latter quickly ruined the moment by unnecessarily exaggerating his accomplishment.

    Storm the Albatross Storm the Albatross and Wave are friends, but the two seem to get into small arguments, much to Jet's annoyance. When Storm lost against Knuckles, he complained to Wave and Jet that he (Knuckles) must have cheated. Wave then thought he was criticizing how she built his Extreme Gear, which angered her and caused her to shout "What!? Are you implying that you lost because of MY Gear!!? No one can tune a Gear the way I can!!! Accept it, buddy! It's not the board. Your skills just suck!". Storm, feeling shocked and offended by this, repeated, "Wh-wh-what?! Su...S...S...Suck!?" to which Wave witheringly replied, "Yes. S-U-C-K. Suck!" Other than this incident and others, they seem to get along just fine.

    Wave has a decent enough relationship with Storm, but her high intelligence often contrasts his stupidity. She sometimes views him as incompetent due to his slower moments compared to her, such as during their raid of the Mineral Museum where he kidnapped Jewel the Beetle, having mistaken her for a precious gem. In turn, Storm respects Wave, but is not afraid to request for her to back up off of Jet when she tells him off. Regardless, she and Storm trust each other very much as teammates and know that they have each others backs and are willing to fight side by side to the end.

    Miles "Tails" Prower Wave and Miles "Tails" Prower are rivals at inventing, since they are both intelligent. In Sonic Riders, Wave was impressed by Tails' inventions but couldn't admit it; when she examined the custom Extreme Gear Tails had created for Sonic, she privately noted that it was, "not half bad, for an amateur...", but out loud she insulted it instead, saying that he had made "a piece of junk". She also teased Tails by calling him "shorty". In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the two did not seem to rival each other at anything. When Wave was injured by SCR-HD, Tails was seen trying to help her get up. During the second World Grand Prix, she called him "shrimp" instead and kept the same attitude towards him. Once again, they did not talk much or show much rivalry until one scene, when Tails examined the Extreme Gear she made, he commented, "Your Gear is still as amazing as ever, Wave...". However, Wave ungratefully replied, "Is that supposed to be sarcasm, shrimp?", much to Tails' dismay, and he told her that he actually meant it. This is if she loses the competition to Tails; if she wins the competition instead, she responded with, "Try not to sound so surprised, shrimp."

    Rouge the Bat Wave and Rouge the Bat have only interacted during the second World Grand Prix. They have shown to have some kind of competitive rivalry and put each other down if one of them wins. Wave has shown to be against Rouge's rudeness, like mocking Jet after he complimented Rouge's team in winning. The two of them also share the same interest for money and treasure.

    Master Zik Wave met Master Zik during a fight with him in Winterburg. After the Babylon Rogues managed to defeat him, Wave demanded that they finish him off, desiring nothing but brutal revenge on him.[25]
