Sonic the Hedgehog (comics): Difference between revisions

* [[After the End]]: The whole comic is set here.

** Albeit an end the world's long since recovered from. Silver's time, 200 years in the future, is a better example (see [[Bad Future]] below).

** And before any of them? E.V.E.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Fiona preferred the "evil" version of Sonic to the real thing, and did a [[Face Heel Turn]] to stay his girlfriend when she found out "Sonic" was really "Scourge". (Well, this is what she ''claims,'' anyway... and this ''is'' [[Consummate Liar|Fiona]] we're talking about...)

* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Robotnik/Eggman has always been the overall [[Big Bad]] of the series, but there have always been villains who are independent of him who are major threats on their own (i.e. Finitevus, Scourge, Naugus, Mogul, the Iron Queen etc.). This is most apparent after the Genesis arc, where Naugus becomes equal to Eggman in terms of the threat he presents to the heroes, and his effect on the central plot.

** For that matter, both [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Black Doom]] and [[Sonic Rush Series|Eggman Nega]] have been confirmed to exist in this continuity, but neither of them has shown up directly yet due to copyright issues between Archie and Sega.

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: A whole mess of them form the Freedom Fighter cell known as, you guessed it, the [http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Wolf_Pack Wolf Pack].

* [[Biological Mashup]]: Naugus' origin.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Bunnie had her share of angst about being part Robian, but she mostly came to terms with it and used her abilities to help in the fight against Robotnik. Then she found out that her robot parts were literally killing her, and was forced to upgrade.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: Lien-Da and Julie-Su.

* [[The Cameo]]: So far, the only appearances of [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Black Doom and the Black Arms aliens]] are a memory image of Black Doom and a single panel showing the Xorda locked in a war with the Black Arms (which explains why the Xorda never returned to see if their attack on Mobius succeeded).

** Chester Cheetah appears in issue 72. For some reason.

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Tons. They outnumber the original characters.

{{quote|If there ''are'' any lessons to be learned, it's one you so obviously forgot! As I begin to absorb the incalculable power you possess, consider this: there is ''always'' someone else who is smarter, stronger, and even more ''ruthless'' than you.}}

** Notably, Dimitri's later characterization would push him further and further towards [[Anti-Villain]] status.

* [[Evil Twin]]: Everyone from Anti-Mobius. But special mention has to be given to Anti-Sonic, who used the Master Emerald to turn himself green, renamed himself Scourge the Hedgehog, and has become a recurring villain.

** Averted with Anti-Knuckles, who's a good guy, just more mellow and pacifistic than Knuckles.<ref>and speaks with an Irish accent, for some reason</ref> That doesn't stop him from fighting when he thinks he has to, though.

* [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]]: Four-foot tall Snively [[Unholy Matrimony|dating]] the statuesque Iron Queen.

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Team Dark. Shadow's mellowed out, but Rouge is a thief who's in it for herself, and Omega is a [[Sociopathic Hero]]. And if Abraham Tower has his back story from the games...

** Especially obvious in {{spoiler|issue 225}} where he {{spoiler|toys with Sonic to stall for time, then nonchalantly injuring/possibly killing Sally. Then he fires his superweapon ''while holding a glass of wine''.}}

** In Scourge's case, it also included gaining several levels in popularity - the fans like him a lot better when he's not just a cliched [[Evil Twin]].

* [[Yet Another Christmas Carol]]: An early, non-canon story.

* [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: Snively begins to suspect that Eggman is slipping when he calls him by his real name.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: King Shadow to {{spoiler|Lien-Da}}.

* [[Zen Survivor]]: General von Styker, after his son ousts him from power.
