| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) | comment |
The US comic book based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, published monthly by Archie Comics from July 1993 to December 2016. It is not to be confused with the similarly long-running Sonic the Comic from the UK.The comic debuted in November 1992: A four issue mini-series were commissioned to test the waters, after which a monthly publication run began in July 1993. Originally, the book was a tie-in for Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), though mixed with goofier elements from the other animated Sonic show at the time; Robotnik had already taken over the idyllic Kingdom of Acorn, establishing his headquarters in the former capital Mobotropolis, now renamed Robotropolis, from where he waged his campaign to take over the world by turning all organic creatures into robots. He was opposed by the Freedom Fighters, a motley crew who operated out of their secret base of Knothole within the Great Forest.In the beginning, the book was a lighthearted, gag-centric affair. Each issue would feature a few silly stories of the Freedom Fighters thwarting Robotnik's dastardly, ridiculous plans while making sure to tell as many terrible (usually pun-based) jokes as possible and Breaking the Fourth Wall left and right. This being a comic tie-in, there were frequent jabs at Silver Age DC Comics, such as the Mirror Universe Robotnik turning out to be a kindly veterinarian and being harried by the "Anti-Freedom Fighters" (Ã la Earth-3 Luthor and Ultraman), and a Crisis on Infinite Earths-style plot in which an army of Sonics teamed up to beat a colossus.Over time, the book began to develop distinct mythology — along with the occasional video game tie-ins, such as the "platinum" Sonic CD issue, the one-shot Knuckles Chaotix special, and a three-part miniseries which was (very) loosely based on Tails Adventure. The book moved from one-off gags to multi-issue arcs and drama as early as issue #17's "Princess Sally's Crusade," which took a somber tone and was the first time one of the Freedom Fighters died (on-panel, no less). This phase was arguably closest in tone to the SatAM series.The book surpassed the cartoon in grittiness at around issue #39, after Sonic was caught and temporarily roboticized, leading to his gleeful prosecution by Antoine (still a jerk at this juncture) and banishment from Knothole as punishment for the havoc he caused. In the lead-up to issue #50, Sonic's Love Interest Sally was betrayed by a spy and killed off... until someone higher-up decided they didn't like it, so she was instead put in a coma. Meanwhile, Knuckles got his own short-lived spinoff series which dealt with the mostly-original lore surrounding his island's Lost World. In another side-reference, Knuckles' tribe were preserved in a high-tech city on the island, but in a pocket dimension; Knuckles sought to restore them much like Superman's Kandor or New Krypton. It introduced a big ensemble of characters across its 32-issue life, most of whom made the jump into the main series once his book got axed.The late-nineties had a drought of mainline Sonic games, so the book was momentarily allowed to have its own identity. Robotnik went away for a while (later to return as "Eggman"), and the stories that followed were more soap-operatic, with Sally's royal angst, love triangles, politics, and long lost relatives coming out of the woodwork. The artwork got a lot more detailed and moodier, too; although there were glimpses of the original spirit of SatAM, such as Sonic being mistaken for a green hedgehog who fought a robotic "High Sheriff" with slings and arrows.The release of Sonic Adventure in '99 retooled many of Sonic's canonical elements, such as Sonic living among human society, and Archie had to bend into twisters trying to keep up. In 2013, the book underwent a Continuity Reboot, discarding many of the previous characters and stories due to a heated legal battle with previous writers. While most of the core cast remained intact, the book was essentially overhauled to more accurately reflect the video games, both old and new. This ended up undoing years of storylines and character development, but it provided a jumping-on point for new readers without having to worry about continuity. In 2013, it crossed over with Archie's Mega Man title in Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide, which was used to justify the aforementioned reboot, followed by another crossover titled Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Unite, in 2015.The comic suddenly ceased being published after the release of issue #290 in December 2016. Archie's only real statement on the subject was that the comic was on an indefinite hiatus, but as the "hiatus" stretched into the summer of 2017, with Archie only making very sporadic and vague comments referring to some sort of ongoing negotiations with SEGA, and the comic's creative staff having quietly moved on to other projects, readers saw the writing on the wall. Indeed, after 24 years of partnership with Archie, SEGA officially announced the cancellation of the series in July 2017 via the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter page. SEGA insisted in the same statement that Sonic comics would continue, albeit not in the same form and with a different publisher. Two days later, at San Diego Comic-Con 2017, it was revealed that IDW Publishing would start publishing a new series of Sonic comics from April 4, 2018.A number of companion books spawned from the series over the years, including several miniseries, the previously mentioned Knuckles comic, several one-shot "special" issues, a tie-in book for Sonic X, a quarterly magazine, and a second comic series running sidestories alongside the main book called Sonic Universe, which focused on the activities of Freedom Fighters other than Sonic — and their villains, too. The two series took place at the same time and occasionally made references to each other.In 2011, Ken Penders, a writer for the comic who won ownership and reprinting rights to the stories and characters he created in the aforementioned lawsuit that Archie filed against him back in late 2010, announced the Lara-Su Chronicles, a loose continuation of the "Mobius: 25 Years Later" storyline that was featured through Issue 131 to Issue 144. It is set in an altered reality and all characters and concepts related to the Sonic franchise either no longer exist or have been heavily changed to make them legally distinct. After over a decade of development, the first volume is due to release in July 2024.Fan-continuations of the original, non-rebooted universe also exist, such as Sonic Retold and Archie Sonic Online (which also includes a fan restoration of the intended post-retcon Sonic Universe story that was meant to follow #94). | |

Control Freak | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_11ad560b | comment |
Arguably even Sonic himself to some degree. While he retains his "like the wind" ethics of the games counterpart, he tends to be one of the Freedom Fighters most wary to others stepping out of line or not listening to him, in some cases bordering a tantrum prone Control Freak. Add to that he has an inconsistent attitude to pacifism and forgiveness, while he has considered sympathy even for his mortal enemy, Eggman at times, he held a rather lengthy violent grudge against both Silver for his rather tasteless (and badly timed) approach to heroics and Knuckles for...just plain out not liking each other. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: The series hasn't been entirely consistent about which of its antagonists openly identify as evil, but Robotnik and Anti-Sonic/Scourge definitely do. In the very first issue, there is a sign on Robotnik's desk which reads "Dr. Robotnik: Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rain Forest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, Insurance Salesman. Rights violated while U wait!" As does Drago. When he and Razorklaw captured Sally in issue 214, the latter suggested just killing her, which led to Drago scolding him for not messing with her first and calling Razorklaw a lousy villain. | |

| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Sonic when he realizes that he drove Eggman insane thanks to Snively's Breaking Speech. However, the writers quickly push this under a rug. It counts as Sonic did really feel terrible about what he did to Eggman. Played for laughs with Shadow after Marine tells him she doesn't know as much as she led on about ship building. For several panels, Shadow's expression locks up in one of the most amusing reactions given from a character in the comic. Nicole was on the brink of one; what with almost the whole population of New Mobotropolis having turned against her, and Sally's sacrifice, she was barely able to function and unable to face what few friends she has left. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While it didn't originally start out this way, being far more similar in tone to the silly and lighthearted Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, by the time Cerebus Syndrome kicked in, the comic became this compared to the games full-stop. To put it simply, this comic post-Cerebus Syndrome features many shockingly dark themes and elements like mass murder, genocide, drug overdose, cults, concentration camps, and characters dying of cancer all onscreen which is all something that the games, even at their darkest, would often avoid showing and instead be fairly lighthearted and kid-friendly adventures that would often shy away from any of these extreme themes. Not to mention that it takes cues from the already fairly dark SatAM cartoon and often goes even further in providing a rather dark, gloomy, and depressing version of Sonic's world where everything has been taken over by Robotnik/Eggman and the aftermath and constant destruction is often never downplayed. Not to mention that this comic features many of the most vile villains in the entire Sonic franchise including a much darker, viler, and evil version of Dr. Eggman (both Robotnik Prime and the Robo-Robotnik variant that would go on to replace the former as the Big Bad of the comic). Oh yeah, and another thing, the original Dr. Robotnik dies and is Killed Off for Real in this comic in a sharp contrast to the insane Joker Immunity that the Eggman from the games has. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: This has happened to a few characters, but one notable example is what happened to Monkey Khan at the hands of the Iron Queen. Knuckles when he became Enerjak falls under this. It is hinted at that all Enerjaks might be controlled by a greater persona as well. Sonic Universe Issue 37 revealed that this is what happened to G.U.N. Commander Hugo Brass. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Knuckles and Locke's relationship has elements of this. Also, Antoine invokes this trope when he tries to earn his father's appreciation after the latter starts acting more impressed with Sonic. Snively's lack of appreciation by his father is hinted to be part of the reason for him being evil. Interestingly enough, his father, Robotnik's brother, was also favored over his brother. Hmmm. And let's not get started on King Max's relationship with his kids. A.D.A.M. towards Robotnik. | |

All There in the Manual: Several issues before the grand continuity reboot, Archie Comics released "The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia", which houses an enormous amount of information that was never revealed in the comics themselves (like the fate of Bunnie's parents), and is in general the best guideline to the pre-reboot continuity in a single source. It's only missing a few details from the small handful of issues that came out after it, but before the continuity was rebooted. | |

Julie gives him a major What the Hell, Hero? in response, and Sonic ultimately smashes the weapon himself. | |

Artistic License – Biology: One issue says that porcupines and hedgehogs are related. But in reality, they're not: porcupines are rodents and hedgehogs are insectivores. Some of the earliest issues made an occasional pig-related joke aimed at Sonic, which didn't make much sense in any context since, despite the "hog" in their name, hedgehogs aren't related to swine in any way, either. | |

Sins of Our Fathers | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1adcd502 | comment |
Sins of Our Fathers: The Xorda take this to almost unfathomable extremes. At one point they dispatched a peaceful ambassador to Earth who was promptly dissected. The Xorda retaliated by gene bombing the entire planet. Several thousand years later, life had come back to the planet. When Knothole Kingdom and Haven's Brotherhood of Echidnas discovered the connection, Sally tried to convince the Xorda to leave them alone due to the humans dying long time ago. But since it all still had genetic traces of the humans who had committed the offense, the Xorda were intent on coming back and wiping it all out for good this time. They failed. Not only because Sonic made a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy a doomsday weapon, but because they once again leave before confirming Mobius' destruction. | |

End of an Age | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1bc2e445 | comment |
End of an Age: Out of universe, with the comic canceled and the confirmation that none of the characters from the Archie series will be returning for the next comic series, it would seem whatever remnants of the characters and concepts started by Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) have finally come to a close. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Occurs a few times, often with a case of Right Hand Vs Left Hand. As early as the first issue of the comic, the Freedom Fighters "rescue" Sally from the Robotociser, only for an angry Sally to reveal she had been implanted with a device made by Rotor to decode how the machine works and allow for an opportunity to reverse its effects. This misunderstanding itself was caused by Sally refusing to tell Sonic her plan earlier out of spite. Silver's crusade to find a Freedom Fighter that will doom the future ultimately leaves him a pariah with the group due to curtly accusing or attacking any member he comes to the conclusion may be a suspect. He finally discovers the true pivot was Sally, unwillingly while robotised, though Tails still has to prevent a livid Sonic from attacking him after he awkwardly words this as Sally being a traitor. | |

Undefeatable Little Village | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1e01d7cb | comment |
Undefeatable Little Village: Much like SatAM, Knothole Village/Kingdom was the last bastion of freedom when Robotnik took over Mobotropolis, and the heroes do whatever they can to keep it hidden. Even when he and later Eggman finally find it, the Freedom Fighters manage to drive his forces back. In #175, Eggman pulled out all the stops and uses a powerful fleet to reduce the Freedom Fighter home to nothing. Luckily, the have a new home to go to in the form of New Mobotropolis. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Occurs several times in the earlier issues. One example is Robotnik finding Crabmeat reading a Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comic. He then punishes Crabmeat for reading the comic of his most hated enemy, before getting the idea to use the other comic books Crabmeat has for ideas for other robots. And yes, the other comic books are implied to be real comics as well. No, it doesn't make any sense. Also falling into this category is Eggman's ramblings in issue 205. It appears he's finally figured out that he's in a licensed comic book. He still wants to get that hedgehog, though. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1f799027 | comment |
While the Council of Acorn reek of Obstructive Bureaucrat tendencies, with a little bit of petty personal grudges on the part of some such as Hamlin, they make the hindering argument that, despite being the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, the Freedom Fighters routinely ignore or defy them whenever they don't make the decisions they want, essentially committing treason. Naugus uses this to his advantage when trying to seize the Kingdom, questioning whether Sonic's actions respect the people he vows to protect. Combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, Rotor can only shrug very nervously at Sonic, unable to offer a good counter argument. | |

Regained Memories Sequence | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_21fa6396 | comment |
Regained Memories Sequence: After the first Genesis Wave reboots the universe, Sonic has a sense something is off. When he grabs Nicole, for whom the effect was different, his mind is flooded with memories of the way things were before the wave hit, including Sally being trapped in the World Roboticizer before it went off. Whenever he touches any of his friends in the end universe, they get treated to the same flood of old memories. This becomes a problem when they all realize that succeeding in their mission to restore their world means they might not like the world they're left with. Happens again after the second Genesis Wave hits, but as this one was company mandated by Sega, the old memories fade and are replaced by ones more in keeping with the new universe. | |

Thanks to Ixis Naugus' manipulations, instead of the debates and civilian empowerment she was hoping for, the result is a divided and even more fearful kingdom and NICOLE eventually being evicted from the city. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Everything left behind after the reboot. The whole legal trouble with Ken Penders caused Archie to apparently jettison everyone created by former writers out, thus grinding stories to a halt. Locke's motives for exposing Knuckles to Chaos energy right after his birth and forcefully railroading him into the life of a Guardian was because he had what he believed to be a prophetic dream about Knuckles needing to be strong enough to face an incredibly fearsome adversary. The foe in question would have been Dr. Droid from Ken Penders The Lost Ones series piloting an giant Robotnik mecha and Knuckles would have faced him in a Super Sonic Special story called "Knuckles: Twenty Years Later". The story in question was never published. In Issue 157, Dr. Eggman visits Knothole to recruit Sonic to help protect himself against Anonymous and Rotor is oddly insistent on treating the tyrant as a respected guest, with the dialogue implying that Eggman is possibly blackmailing Rotor with something. This issue was part of Ken Penders' final story arc on the comic and the plot point wasn't followed up on after he left the book. | |

Fantastic Nature Reserve | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_23ca8dff | comment |
Fantastic Nature Reserve: An early one issue plot of Sonic the Hedgehog has a misguided intergalatic collector who captures the Freedom Fighters, Robotnik and Snively and put them in one of these. He collect them for their Uniqueness Value, and while he provides a safe place for them, he is compared to a kid who collects ants in an ant farm, even seen tapping on the glass of his reserve when tech-loving Robotnik seems to be acting lazy and not at all responsive to the provided unpolluted nature style environment. He mends his ways and returns them back when Robotnik breaks free and ejects the collector from his ship and the Freedom Fighters rescues him from going adrift in space. | |

Differing Priorities Breakup | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_2a68708d | comment |
Differing Priorities Breakup: This is was led to Sonic and Sally's breakup. Sally had thought that Sonic had sacrificed himself during the Xorda attack. She was left in the sidelines with the rest of the family while her fellow Freedom Fighters continued their battle against Eggman. A year later, Sonic returns, alive and well and they couldn't be happier. Sometime later, Sally decides to get Sonic to rule by her side while her parents rally more people for the war. Sonic, however, hesitantly declines, because he wants to end the war before settling down. Sally's response: An brutal slap to the face and calling him selfish. In front of everyone! After an argument, Sally gives him an ultimatum: Eggman or her, and she leaves him before he could answer. She wouldn't make the breakup official until a few issues later. It would take a few score issues later to mend their friendship, and sometime post-#200 to become a could again. | |

French Jerk | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_2dd7a113 | comment |
During the Mecha Madness arc, when Sonic is temporarily roboticized and set loose on Knothole, Antoine wastes no time arresting him on charges for treason once. While Antoine is a French Jerk who's always hated Sonic, and spends the subsequent trial doing everything he can to make him look undeniably guilty, he does point out that it's definitely suspicious, since Sonic had previously approached them with a plan to let himself be roboticized using a Neuro Overrider to retain his free will so he could destroy Robotnik's empire from within, and the fact that Sonic was roboticized literally right after the other Freedom Fighters vetoed this plan makes it seem that Sonic just disobeyed orders and went through with it anyway. While that's not the case (Sonic was actually ambushed by Nack the Weasel and delivered to Robotnik without the Overrider), even the other Freedom Fighters agree that Antoine's suspicions aren't entirely invalid. | |

Insufferable Genius: An early plot turned Tails into one temporarily, and his evil alter-ego Miles behaves that way full-time.

Crossover Cameo | |

Crossover Cameo: Chester Cheetah appears in issue 72. For some reason. Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, Robby the Robot, and R2-D2 appear in Issue #52◊. Issue 290 has one of the more surprising cameo appearances in its Off-Panel short: Rat Fink of Ed Roth fame. Linkara, of all people, shows up in a crowd shot in issue 257. This was largely a joke by artist Tracy Yardley as Linkara is a known non-fan of the comic. Rocksteady and Bebop are part of the Zone Police prison population who enjoyed tormenting Scourge. Patrick Spaziante would often do this with Astal, the protagonist of the eponymous Sega Saturn video game he was apparently very fond of. Long before crossing over with Mega Man and other Capcom series, Lou and Siva, the protagonists of the Midnight Wanderers and Chariot games featured in Capcom's Three Wonders, make cameos on the cover of issue #77. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: The Image Comics Crossover story "Parallel Paradigm" was very obviously an attempt from writer Ken Penders to advertise his then-upcoming and ultimately very short-lived original superhero comic, The Lost Ones, which Image Comics was set to publish. | |

Defector from Decadence | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_38f1a7ed | comment |
Defector from Decadence: While they're not full on evil Big abandoned his people, the Felidae, due to their xenophobic and barbaric traditions, which really didn't gel with his laidback, friendly personality. Because of this he's considered an exile in their lands, meaning he's in just as much danger of taking a spear to the face there as anyone else. | |

Make Room for the New Plot | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_3aa8406b | comment |
Make Room for the New Plot: This would come to characterize Ian Flynn's first year as the head writer on the comic, as most of his immediate order of business was quickly tying up most of the lingering plots left behind by Ken Penders and Karl Bollers (Tails being The Chosen One; the identity of "Anonymous"), reworking some of the comic exclusive elements (turning Evil Sonic into Scourge), writing some out contentious characters and plot elements (the Mystics Walkers, the Source of All, Tommy Turtle), and trying to bring the comic's world more in line with the game series' mythos (reducing the comic's hundreds of Chaos Emeralds into the seven found in the games; turning "The Zone of Silence" into "The Special Zone"). | |

Plot Tumor: Knuckles went from living in a wilderness, believing himself to be the last of his kind, to living in a city full of other echidnas and having a family tree that became massively convoluted. Eventually, the echidnas ended up becoming the most important race in the comic. Then, the Eggman Empire came along, and then a lawsuit that was filed by Archie themselves against Ken Penders, and... let's just say there aren't as many echidnas now. | |

No Fourth Wall | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_3b4f620a | comment |
The early comics were very comedic in tone and often even stranger than what came later, with lots of fourth wall demolition, Better than a Bare Bulb gags, and enough puns to make Beany and Cecil proud. This was more due to following Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and using a few video game stages in the early days. Also, Dave Manak and Michael Gallagher were the primary artist and writer respectively, both of whom had a more zany cartoonish style than their successors. Sally was seen with varying colors of fur (red fur with blonde hair in her first appearance, pink fur with black hair up until issue #16 note this was referenced in a one-page story way back in issue #3 and Rotor was known as "Boomer" until about issue #6. Roboticization was presented differently, with people with hypnotized eyes instead of out and out robots. The series wouldn't reach the Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) levels until Dulcy showed up in issue 28 and a few characters will still seem odd looking back at them (for instance, look at Metal Sonic in issue #25, then look at him later on). Once other artists and writers began to take over (although Gallagher and Manak never fully left), the art style and overall tone became comparatively more serious for the most part. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
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. Even more so with Sonic's Uncle Chuck and father Jules. After getting his mind freed from Robotnik's control, Chuck would use his status to spy on the mad doctor's revelation. Jules, however, has gotten the worst of it - every other Robian has been restored to their original form but him, isolating him from his family and everyone else around him. Jules gets better about this, though, especially once it was revealed that the very reason for his roboticization in the first place (a wound he suffered in the Great War that would have killed him) would mean his death if he was ever deroboticized. | |

Strictly Formula: After getting the Chaos Emeralds during the Sonic Unleashed adaptation, the search for the Gaia Temples and keys became pretty routine. The Freedom Fighters visit an area, have to confront an Egg Boss in some fashion, find the Temple Guardian and help them out in some way (save them from incarceration, help with a family situation, get them out of a dangerous situation, etc), get the Keys needed, move on. Even some of the opening shots of the issues look similar to each other. | |

Lampshaded in an issue when they need something to free NICOLE from her Mind Control. Their choice falls on the Particle-to-Light Organizer and Transporter Device. Don't get it? PLOT device. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: According to Ken Penders, the intended message of Knuckles and Locke's subplot was that sometimes, even a loving parent can do bad things to their kid while meaning well; reportedly, Penders based it on his own relationship with his father. The trouble is, while this was meant to show that a relationship with a parent can be complex and fraught with difficulty, that doesn't describe how Penders wrote Locke and Knuckles at all—Knuckles bears no grudge whatsoever on Locke the moment he explains himself, and in an issue focusing on Locke's death in the future, Knuckles has nothing but good things to say about him. This causes the moral to instead look a lot more like "your parents always mean best for you, and that justifies anything they might do." | |

Speaking of Ceneca-9009, in issue #118 the Bem kidnap Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and Snively, roboticize the former two, deroboticize the latter, and put them in a fight. Naturally, Sonic and Tails win... but because they won while roboticized, the Bem conclude that Mobians are naturally better-suited as robots and order Ceneca-9009 to turn every Mobian alive into robots. If it weren't for her deciding Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! and deroboticizing the Robians instead, Sonic and Tails would have done more to fulfill Eggman's plans than Eggman ever did himself. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ash the Mongoose, as well as Antoine before his Character Development. Sonic has had this characterization at times, too (though rarely has it been as bad as in Fleetway's Sonic the Comic). At one point, it got so bad that Tails, his best friend, physically assaulted him. He's wised up a little now, though he can still be a Jerkass at times. Also, Geoffrey St. John, and Vector some of the time. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Fiona Fox does this both emotionally and physically. She not only breaks Tails' heart right to his face, she has the nerve to give him a brutal and unprovoked slap just to rub salt in the wound. And going from the smile on her face, she enjoyed every moment of it. And even afterward, she has the gall to still exploit his feelings towards her. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Robotnik (the first one) was more like his Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog self in early comics, even though he looked like his Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) counterpart. Starting with issue 25, a more dangerous, psychotic side started to show, and while he never quite reached the level of nightmarish evil of the SatAM Robotnik, he was pretty close to it by Endgame. His current Eggman persona is something of a Composite Character of this and his more comedic games counterpart. This applies to the whole original cast for the most part, who were portrayed as much wackier and bumbling in the original comics, Sally in particular was a far more brattish and prissy character compared to current persona, which is arguably the nearest to a "normal" character in the comics. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: There has been some subtext in this direction, although there have been subversions and exceptions since nearly the beginning. The Mobians and the "Overlanders" were at war... over what turned out to be a misunderstanding, and there were bastards fighting on both sides of the conflict. Yet humans were portrayed as the more warlike and barbaric species even in flashbacks that predated the war. With the introduction of more sympathetic humans such as Nate Morgan and Hope Kintobar, and the human cities from the games, their image appears to have improved, and the comic refuses to dip back into the old subtext. | |

Floating Island floats in the ocean instead of in the sky, Scourge's one billionth ring drove Rosy insane when it granted her wish, and Anarchy Beryls (Anti-Chaos Emeralds) drain energy from people after an initial boost instead of the excess power slowly fading. | |

Unwilling Roboticisation | |

Thanks to Unwilling Roboticisation or mind control, the Freedom Fighters or their affiliates will fight each other more often than not. When Eggman starts implementing the Dark Leigion's Legionization method (replacing organic parts with cybernetic ones), some of those soldiers are seen as related to any of Mobius' FF factions in some way, further invoking this trope. | |

Author Tract | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: Ken Penders' run had tones of this. Penders had a very active fixation on gun control laws and gun safety which he brought into the comic aggressively (which made little sense given the vast majority of the characters never used them in the first place) going so far as to turn accidental gun use as the whole reason for the plot-driving war to start. Penders also had a teenage son during his tenure on the comic and he tended to write stories where adults, particularly fathers, were depicted as especially skilled and confident figures who were almost never in the wrong and often outperformed and talked down to the teenage heroes. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The early comics were very comedic in tone and often even stranger than what came later, with lots of fourth wall demolition, Better than a Bare Bulb gags, and enough puns to make Beany and Cecil proud. This was more due to following Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and using a few video game stages in the early days. Also, Dave Manak and Michael Gallagher were the primary artist and writer respectively, both of whom had a more zany cartoonish style than their successors. Sally was seen with varying colors of fur (red fur with blonde hair in her first appearance, pink fur with black hair up until issue #16 note this was referenced in a one-page story way back in issue #3 and Rotor was known as "Boomer" until about issue #6. Roboticization was presented differently, with people with hypnotized eyes instead of out and out robots. The series wouldn't reach the Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) levels until Dulcy showed up in issue 28 and a few characters will still seem odd looking back at them (for instance, look at Metal Sonic in issue #25, then look at him later on). Once other artists and writers began to take over (although Gallagher and Manak never fully left), the art style and overall tone became comparatively more serious for the most part. This also extends to its video game tie-ins. Prior to the Continuity Reboot, video game events were done in Broad Strokes; for instance, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was adapted in issue #13 as Robotnik and Snively stranded on the Floating Island, stealing its singular Chaos Emerald without the Death Egg showing up at all (it wouldn't show up in the comics for another two years). After the Continuity Reboot, it was stated that all video games, with the exceptions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Lost World, Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Chronicles are canon and happened the way they did in the games. The characters' personalities were also vastly different at first. Sally acted like a total brat at times with a massive Never My Fault attitude while Antoine was very much a Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey. Like his SatAM counterpart, Snively was initially very loyal to Robotnik and wouldn't become The Starscream until The Death Egg Saga. | |

The Sonic Universe story "Treasure Team Tango" has a four-way brawl for ownership of a Sol Emerald. Blaze, Amy, and Cream are the only ones trying to obtain it for a just cause, as Blaze is the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, whereas the other three teams are trying to get their hands on it for selfish reasons. Shadow, Rouge, and E-123 Omega are attempting to get the Sol Emerald to turn over to G.U.N. for inspection, Nack, Bean, and Bark are treasure-hunting mercenaries looking to pawn off the Sol Emerald for a fortune, and Jet, Wave, and Storm are looking to nab the Sol Emerald in the name of the Battle Kukku Armada. | |

The ultimate fate of the echidna race pre-reboot: Multiple factions ended up in pocket zones to due attacks from enemies note The Dingoes once ravaged Angel Island's surface with nukes or because they were deemed too dangerous by their enemynote Steppenwolf banished the Dark Legion to the Twilight Zone(not that one). The residents of Albion were attacked by the Egg Legion, and Thrash felt that the echidnas would bring the world to ruin if left unchecked. One of the first enemies Sonic fought in the original continuity was the Krudzu Plant. One of the last opponents Sonic faced is the plant's stronger form, Krudzu Hybrid Hydra. Incidentally, this bookend happens immediately after the above. | |

The Dragon | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_53f5119f | comment |
The Dragon: Snively served as this to both Robotnik and later Eggman. For that matter, Lien-Da and the other Dark Egg Legion Grandmasters could be considered Co-Dragons as well, since they're all equally ranked and report directly to Eggman. Conquering Storm could be said to have acted as this to the Iron Queen; she accompanied the Queen to the Eggman Empire when she assumed control of it from the insane Eggman, and was later sent back to the Dragon Kingdom to enforce the Iron Dominion's control over the region. Ixis Nagus was this to Mogul for a time, and had one of his own in Geoffrey. Following the events of "Genesis", Eggman gained a new chief enforcer in Mecha Sally. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_553c27bb | comment |
Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: The comic started off as something of a pastiche of the very silly Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and the mostly-serious Saturday-morning Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM). In the beginning, it was more like "AoStH with the SatAM characters", but Cerebus Syndrome pushed it further and further towards SatAM's darker style. Even so, while the comic has never really regained the level of goofiness present in the earliest issues, there has been a fair amount of fluctuation all over the scale depending on the era and the writer. Where it should fall, optimally, is one of the many things the fanbase can never agree on. | |

The Empire | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_556a4e20 | comment |
The Empire: The Eggman Empire, to be precise. Eggman starts off with nothing but a legion of robots (and his nephew/lackey Snivley). As the series continues, more organic minions join the Empire due to thirst for power, desperation or coercion. | |

Red String of Fate: The Soultouch, something that only echidnas have that designates their one true love. Note that "true love" doesn't mean "will always be happy with each other"; affected pairs have been known to divorce, including Knuckles' parents. What does work no matter what is a bit of Mindlink Mates for the pair involved. | |

Women Are Wiser | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_565106b3 | comment |
Women Are Wiser: Most of the females, while still having their own shortcomings, are somewhat more level headed than their male comrades. Sally in particular is the most "normal"-acting character in the comic (though both her and Bunnie had near equally wacky and blundering personas than Sonic and co in the earlier light-hearted issues). Notably averted with Lien-Da, who's in her 30's and still acts like a spoiled child half the time. | |

Recurring Character | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_56635771 | comment |
The comic tended to like a lot of puns for a while, and originated many of its own. A particularly cringeworthy example would be "Sleuth Dawggy-Dawg," who actually turned into a fairly regular Recurring Character they mercifully took to referring to only as "Sleuth Dawg". | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Echidnas, who became the first to be civilized, looked down on everyone. Still did until Eggman wiped most of their population out and Thrash tossed the rest into another Zone. Overlanders, four-fingered humans, were shown to be incredibly war-like and bloodthirsty aginst the furry mobians. It's obvious both Robotniks did nothing to improve that image. A handful of Mobians, including Geoffrey St. John, are pretty harsh towards friendlier Overlanders like Nate Morgan, due to the sins of both Robotnik and the Overlanders in the Great War. Machines in particular. Naugus, on two separate instances, gleefully ramped up the Mobian's hate of machines, leading to a brief Civil War between Mobians and Robians (roboticized Mobians) and the AI NICOLE being temporarily exiled. The Sand Blast Freedom Fighters and their allies hate Robians, to the point that they are prejudiced against them even after they are turned back to normal. Not based on race, but the same basic idea is the reason why the Dark Legion broke off from the rest of Echidna society. Their love of technology led to them being persecuted and oppressed by the government. The members of the Battle Bird Armada are a mild example of this. They feel that since they can fly naturally, only they have the right to be in the sky, and everyone else should stay on the ground. One member, Speedy, seems to particularly hate Tails, due to his ability to fly naturally despite not being a bird. We learn through a flashback in "The Trial Of Gefforey St. John" that Ixis Naugus was able to convince Gefforey into becoming his student by playing off of Gefforey's resentment of Overlanders (Gefforey's father was a soldier in the Great War and was killed by Overlanders during a mission). It would seem that Mobian/Overlander hatred may not be entirely gone yet. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The entire planet. The Southern Baronies is basically the American South, but with anthropomorphic rabbits. To draw the parallels further, their militia wore gray uniforms, and sought independence from the Kingdom of Acorn. Mercia note or Avalon in the new continuity is basically Robin Hood England. The United Federation is a Hidden Human United States. The Dragon Kingdom is basically a mash-up of Feudal Japan and Imperial China. Downunda note or Tralius in the new continuity is obviously an Australia stand-in. | |

Enemy Mine | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Happens with such frequency that Sonic's begun to lampshade it. The heroes have, at various junctures, teamed up with Eggman, Snively, their "Suppression Squad" alter-egoes, the Destructix, the Dark Legion, and even Finitevus. They usually get backstabbed, and Sonic's started to lampshade that, too. By and far, the biggest of these situations was when the entire planet united to fight off the Xorda invasion. And naturally, as soon as the Xorda were fought off (and Sonic was sent into space), Eggman stabbed his allies in the back. We have a non-Freedom Fighter example in the Babylon Rogues teaming up with their rivals/former comrades the Battle Bird Armada to regain the Babylon Gardens — which, ironically, puts them in opposition to the Freedom Fighters, since the Gardens are apparently under New Mobotropolis. | |

Unholy Matrimony: Scourge and Fiona. Also the Iron King and Queen, who (thankfully, for obvious reasons) are just in a marriage of political convenance. And the Queen also had a thing on the side with Snively. And if there was any doubt that Scourge and Fiona truly cared about each other, take this into account: after Scourge was arrested by the Zone Cops, Fiona tracked down the Destructix, got them to work for her, and then intentionally got arrested, all so that she could break him out. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Back when the writers integrated the game adaptations into the comic's continuity. Elements of the game’s story had to be condensed, expanded, or altered as to fit within the setting. Eventually this was all retconned, and the games are simply canon to the comic. One example is the Sonic Adventure adaptation. Up to that point, the only Humans were the Overlanders, who did not have the temperament or culture of the United Federation. The Solution? Have Station Square under a mountain, where regular humans have thrived for thousands of years (and many comic issues) unseen. | |

Parent with New Paramour | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_618dc1ea | comment |
Parent with New Paramour: Knuckles is told over dinner that his mother, Lara-Le, intends to marry Wynmacher. He doesn't take the news particularly well and runs off, though this is more out of shock, as he holds no ill-will towards Wynmacher. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Naugus starts to suffer this post-Genesis, as a result of the personalities of the wizards who formed him reemerging and fighting him for dominance. This is mirrored by Body Horror, as his body tends to mutate when he loses control and becomes a rampaging beast, though this usually only last a few minutes at a time before he manages to regain control of himself. | |

More Hero than Thou: At the end of the "Enerjak Reborn" storyline, Finetevus reveals that only a Heroic Sacrifice can break Knuckles free of his control. This does not go over as he'd clearly expected: Julie-Su thanks him for the information and volunteers, Archimedes immediately protests it should be him as Knuckles' mentor, and Locke overrides both of them arguing Knuckles will need them and it's his fault in the first place. Finetevus curses them as "grave-eager fools" and attacks. | |

| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_69df137 | comment |
Fake Danger Gambit: At one point Sonic sets up a plan to help Antoine impress his father by dressing up as his own Evil Twin and having Antoine defeat him. Then the real Evil Sonic showed up and Antoine knocked him out without realizing it wasn't Sonic in disguise. When he realized he'd actually decked an actual bad guy and won, he fainted. (Which, incidentally, says a lot about just how pathetic Evil Sonic was prior to turning into Scourge.) | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: In regards to Vector, whose character is not a complete Jerkass just a little rough around the edges, during the Knuckles Comic. Throughout the entire comic's run and a little after that Vector never trusted Julie-Su and openly expressed his discontent with her and was poked fun of by his friends and her despite this. Usually his friends would tell him to chill and that he is just being full of it. Maybe but it doesn't change the fact that Julie-Su and her group did try to kill not only Knuckles, but the Chaotix and innocent people. Julie-Su only left the dark legion because she was in love with Knuckles, not because they were extremist or any thing regarding morality. Considering Vector sees Knuckles and the rest of the Chaotix as his only real family and Knuckles being his very first friend he has full right not to trust her and be worried about his friend especially considering the countless traitors and deception both the freedom fighters and the Chaotix have to go through. This is made especially evident in issue #27 of Knuckles comic where Knuckles gets pissed and attacks Vector for bad mouthing Julie-Su. Despite Knuckles going through what is essentially puberty it does not change the fact the Julie-Su being around is effecting Knuckles and Vector views it as a negative as Knuckles is both acting strange and not like his usual self and Vector is trying his hardest to get back the echidna he knows and loves. During the Mecha Madness arc, when Sonic is temporarily roboticized and set loose on Knothole, Antoine wastes no time arresting him on charges for treason once. While Antoine is a French Jerk who's always hated Sonic, and spends the subsequent trial doing everything he can to make him look undeniably guilty, he does point out that it's definitely suspicious, since Sonic had previously approached them with a plan to let himself be roboticized using a Neuro Overrider to retain his free will so he could destroy Robotnik's empire from within, and the fact that Sonic was roboticized literally right after the other Freedom Fighters vetoed this plan makes it seem that Sonic just disobeyed orders and went through with it anyway. While that's not the case (Sonic was actually ambushed by Nack the Weasel and delivered to Robotnik without the Overrider), even the other Freedom Fighters agree that Antoine's suspicions aren't entirely invalid. Shortly after moving into New Mobotropolis, Tails' parents launch a Velvet Revolution with the intent of turning the Kingdom of Acorn into a democracy. While they did so at the worst possible time, right after the war against Eggman escalated to a major degree, their criticisms of the Acorns' leadership are perfectly valid; while King Max meant well, he was still a slave to tradition and Horrible Judge of Character who's decisions and refusal to heed the warnings of others led to the Great War, the destruction of Old Mobotropolis and Knothole Village, and subjected all of Mobius to Robotnik's tyranny for over a decade. Harvey Who makes those very same points when Elias approaches him for help in reclaiming the throne from Naugus, openly stating Amadeus and Rosemary were right and the Acorns don't deserve to rule; he only agrees to help after confirming that Elias is nothing like Max. Monkey Khan asks Sonic why they don't just kill Eggman and be done with it considering how much trouble he's caused everyone and the potential evil he can (and eventually will) do, especially considering at the time Eggman was going through a Villainous Breakdown, leaving him more then vulnerable. In issue 225, his point is validated when Eggman himself, having recovered from said Villainous Breakdown, gloats to Sally's face that they could have stopped him from making the Death Egg Mark 2 if they had just finished him off any of the numerous times they had the chance. While the Council of Acorn reek of Obstructive Bureaucrat tendencies, with a little bit of petty personal grudges on the part of some such as Hamlin, they make the hindering argument that, despite being the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, the Freedom Fighters routinely ignore or defy them whenever they don't make the decisions they want, essentially committing treason. Naugus uses this to his advantage when trying to seize the Kingdom, questioning whether Sonic's actions respect the people he vows to protect. Combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, Rotor can only shrug very nervously at Sonic, unable to offer a good counter argument. | |

Unstoppable Rage: Many characters go through this for some reason or another. Sonic, most notably, in #50 and #175. You do NOT mess with his friends, family, or home. Hershey in #50, after learning that Drago used her in a murder scheme. Tails, to a lesser extent in #178, seeing his hedgehog friend act like a Jerkass at the time. Do not mess with Ray when Mighty is around, in #175 for instance. | |

Fighting Your Friend | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_6d03eac8 | comment |
Fighting Your Friend: The comics used this quite liberally as a plot point: Thanks to Unwilling Roboticisation or mind control, the Freedom Fighters or their affiliates will fight each other more often than not. When Eggman starts implementing the Dark Leigion's Legionization method (replacing organic parts with cybernetic ones), some of those soldiers are seen as related to any of Mobius' FF factions in some way, further invoking this trope. The "House of Cards" two-parter has Sonic and Tails end up fighting each other, though not because of the usual reasons, but due to Tails' dedication to his parents. Sonic relents once it becomes clear that Tails is more pissed off at him due to the hedgehog's ignorance and how he ended up dating his crush Fiona at the time, even after she betrayed them both for Scourge later down the road. | |

Punny Name: As elsewhere in the franchise, Tails' full name is Miles Prower. Miles-Per-Hour. The comic tended to like a lot of puns for a while, and originated many of its own. A particularly cringeworthy example would be "Sleuth Dawggy-Dawg," who actually turned into a fairly regular Recurring Character they mercifully took to referring to only as "Sleuth Dawg". | |

Four-Fingered Hands | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_6e92a631 | comment |
Four-Fingered Hands: Inconsistent for years, given the conflicting source material — the cartoons gives everyone four fingers (usually), while the games give almost every one of their characters five. Depending on the Artist, sometimes every character has five fingers, and others the Sega characters have five and everybody else has four. Earlier issues established that the main difference between "Overlanders" and proper humans was the number of fingers: four and five, respectively. Both the finger-debacle and the distinction between the two types of humans were quietly phased out. | |

Don't Try This at Home: In issue 119, Sonic vibrates his molecules fast enough for him and Tails to slip through an energy barrier. A footnote at the bottom of the panel where he does this says "Please don't try at home." | |

Trauma Conga Line: Constable Remington. He does his best to ensure that Echidnaopolis (and later Albion) is kept safe and incident-free, and he's kind and respectful to all of the law-abiding citizens; even the outsiders. And how is he repaid for doing his job? ...Held hostage by Enerjak, imprisoned and starved by Eggman for an entire year, brainwashed by Dr. Finitevus and considered for being the next Enerjak, and banished to worlds unknown by Thrash. Poor Remington... | |

Big Bad Ensemble | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_72cdfc33 | comment |
Big Bad Ensemble: 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. Black Doom and Eggman Nega would also be major threats, but the former is a bit busy being dead, and the latter is fooling around in the shadows. As of the Post-Super Genesis Wave, we can add Dark Gaia to this list. | |

Put on a Bus | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_754df088 | comment |
Put on a Bus: Because of the legal battle between Archie and Ken Penders over character rights, the "Endangered Species" arc was re-written so all the echidnas except Knuckles were sent through a Warp Ring. Earlier, Sleuth Dawg decided he was done and walked out on the comic, promising not to be seen. Because of the Penders lawsuit, any character who was created by a former writer of the comic or was inspired/tied to the works of a former writer has been erased from the comic forever thanks to the Super Genesis Wave that Eggman unleashed at the end of Worlds Collide | |

Human Subspecies | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_7568eb84 | comment |
Human Subspecies: The Overlanders and Mobians. Both were the result of the Xorda gene weapons that caused most life (human and animal) to break down into a primordial goop, which reformed thousands of years later. The Overlanders were the physiologically closest to humanity in the comics… until Sonic Adventure had to be adapted, resulting in Homo sapiens Humans appearing. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: Similar to the show, Dulcy the Dragon was fitted into the comic with nothing more then a small back-up story introduction which gave her backstory and essentially went "She's been part of the Freedom Fighters all this time! Honest!" Ironically, Dulcy was later phased out of the comic completely. Lampshaded example when Dr. Eggman meets a leader of one of his armies known as Axel the Water Buffalo. He's quick to say he recognizes him and recruits him in trying to get to the Death Egg II. Orbot is quick to point out that they've never seen him before and Eggman has already figured that out - he admits that he was too hasty in stopping Super Sonic's Chaos Control and realizes that a lot of Mobius has been altered... | |

Villain Decay | |

Villain Decay: Taken to the logical conclusion with Eggman in the 200th issue. Ixis Naugus has a funny relationship with this trope. In his first appearance, he was portrayed as a strong force worthy of being feared. He had powers that could control the weather and the movement of the earth, and he forced Sonic and Tails into a wild goose chase around the world. Later, he was downgraded to Mogul's servant and was driven insane. He became a major antagonist again, but his paranoia leads to him simply abandoning his plots for Mobotropolis. | |

Locke has tried to play off everything he's done for Knuckles as for his own good, but both Julie and Archie are fed up. Sonic gives one to Eggman in issue #200 while delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle. He regrets it when it contributes to Eggman's Villainous Breakdown. This was in response to a particularly nasty one given from Eggman to Sonic in 175, who did the same thing. Sonic gives one to Scourge. This comes back to bite Sonic later as it inspires Scourge to conquer his home world. Scourge later gives a twistedly identical speech to Sonic. And then Sonic gives one to Silver after he got the "traitor" wrong one too many times.note Issue 235: He came to accuse Antoine. Sonic grabbed him by the scruff and dragged him across Knothole at full speed to Tommy Turtle Hospital, where Antoine lay effectively dead. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The comic practically runs on this. Standout events are: Ceneca-9009's Dark and Troubled Past. She invented a de-roboticizer to help the metallic aliens of Biotex. She learned too late that the Biotexans evolved their metallic bodies as a defense against deadly microbes. Oops... Speaking of Ceneca-9009, in issue #118 the Bem kidnap Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and Snively, roboticize the former two, deroboticize the latter, and put them in a fight. Naturally, Sonic and Tails win... but because they won while roboticized, the Bem conclude that Mobians are naturally better-suited as robots and order Ceneca-9009 to turn every Mobian alive into robots. If it weren't for her deciding Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! and deroboticizing the Robians instead, Sonic and Tails would have done more to fulfill Eggman's plans than Eggman ever did himself. In issue 225, Eggman tells Sally that if she and the other Freedom Fighters had finished him off any of the times they'd had the chance, they could have prevented him from rebuilding the Death Egg in a more powerful form. Sonic's dad and uncle found Robotnik, formerly Julian, and brought him to King Max, who made his infamous decision to make him warlord. Though he helped the Mobians win the Great War, he already had his own plans in action. Uncle Chuck made the roboticizer, allowing Robotnik to make the headway needed to make his empire so fast. Originally, Robotnik simply sabotaged the Roboticizer. He had never thought it would work to his advantage. Locke. Oh my god Locke. His exposing Knuckles' unhatched egg to a Chaos Emerald let to said child's transformation into Chaos Knuckles, which prompted the Echidnas of Albion to try and siphon it away out of fear of what might happen. During the attempt, however, Saffron and Charmy interfered - causing the excess energy to be transferred into a then-unnamed Finitevus. If Locke left well enough alone and not experimented on his unborn son, the Echidnas wouldn't have been brought to the brink of extinction via the destruction of Albion, and the Brotherhood of Guardians would still be around. The Brotherhood of Guardians as a whole. They had a major tradition not to interact with the world at large unless it actively threatened their interests. During the last year or so of Robotnik Prime's reign of terror, he found the Floating Island, weaponized it, and crashed the first Death Egg into it to try to sink it into the ocean. Not once did they raise a finger to stop him. The firing of Robotnik's Ultimate Annihilator helped free the Dark Legion, whose plans are what caused Knuckles' Chaos transformation in the first place. Although it was due to bad timing, Geoffrey restoring Naugus to place him on the throne ultimately did nothing more than to weaken the heroes, bolster Eggman's power, and (in Silver's timeline) destroy the world. That is, until the crossover. | |

Left Hanging: The original continuity was this by virtue of a Cosmic Retcon that erased nearly everything and left many unresolved plotlines before the reboot. The book's cancellation in 2017 caused reboot itself to become this. | |

Living Ghost: An early issue sees Sonic apparently killed in an explosion of one of Robotnik's newest inventions, much the the sadness of his friends who hold a funeral for him. Even Sonic thinks this is the case when he wakes up and finds he cannot interact with anything else. In reality, his superspeed combined with the machine's explosion has thrown him out of phase with reality, a condition that is slowly correcting itself when he suddenly discovers a random passerby can hear his voice but can't see him and that he can grab objects but still walks through walls. Taking advantage of this, Sonic proceeds to help his friends beat Robotnik by using his temporary powers to convince the doctor he's being haunted. By the end of the issue Sonic is back to normal. | |

Then, after Sally spent some time with Monkey Khan, they finally rehook back up... only for Sally to get roboticized. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The series has went over some gamechanging plot points, though these stand out in particular. The Endgame arc raises the stakes in the story. Sally was presumed dead. Sonic was framed for her alledged murder, the Freedom Fighters were scattered, and Knothole was finally discovered and invaded by Robotnik, planning to erase it off the face of Mobius. Everything got better though. Issues #124 and 125 reveal that Mobius was once Planet Earth, originally ravaged by a vengeful alien race. When the aliens return to Mobius to finish what they started, everyone on Mobius fought back, and Sonic made a Heroic Sacrifice to save the world. Several issues after making his way back to Mobius (after his "sacrifice" shot him halfway across the galaxy), Knothole Village became Knothole Kingdom, and a new Robotnik war begun. While there were some new plotlines, everything else was the way it has always been... expect Sonic and Sally breaking up. Issue #175 has Eggman and Snively launching an all-out assault on Knothole, razing it to the ground and capturing most of its inhabitants. While Eggman handed Sonic the most brutal defeat in the series, the hedgehog and his friends rescue everyone an issue after, before relocating to a new home. Issue #230 saw Eggman attempt to use a Roboticizer to affect the entire world, after Sonic undid a universe-altering weapon. Sally made her own Heroic Sacrifice to prevent that, only to become a robot herself. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_8e92e125 | comment |
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appear in the background of one panel in issue #10, remarking that they're in the wrong comic. (It should be noted that Archie Comics produced a comic book series based on the turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures.) The characterization is also probably messed up on purpose. Leo is the one speaking like a Surfer Dude, while Mikey is speaking like Leo. Also, in issue #18, Sonic mistakes the badnik Bat Brain's silhouette for the Batsignal and thinks Batman is trying to steal his spotlight. The main story (as well as the cover) of issue #8 takes this trope to extremes. | |

Corrupted Data: In one issue, Shadow retrieves a disk that contains files from Gerald Robotnik about his true purpose. However, the disk is damaged by a Badnik attack and the thing was already 50 years old, so it was starting to decay badly. NICOLE is able to rebuild it enough for Shadow to get his answers, though. In #165, the robot ISAAC was revealed to have corrupted data from centuries of wear, though not all of it was corrupted. It also reveals that the person he was protecting for centuries since the Xorda attack, Dr. Robotnkik's ancestor Ivan Kintorbor, is dead. | |

In reaction to Fiona's Face–Heel Turn and her running off with Scourge, issue 172 ends with Antoine storming off, saying he's going to do something he should've done long ago. Issue 173 begins with him asking Bunnie to marry him. The Silver Age arc ends with Silver and friends falling into a Genesis portal that opened up. | |

Sdrawkcab Alias | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_902ff525 | comment |
Sdrawkcab Alias/Name: Julian Kintobor changes his name to Dr. Ivo Robotnik. What makes it confusing is that there is both a Kintobor family (Robotnik's brother shares the last surname) and a Robotnik family (Gerald Robotnik is Julian's grandfather). The Encyclopedia clears it up a bit: Ivo Kintobor (Robotnik's father) had married Gerrald's daughter, and thus united the two lines. Julian took his father's name, and his mother's maiden name. Though why no one pointed out the strange coincidence regarding their names remains a mystery. | |

All Deaths Final | |

All Deaths Final: The comic adheres to this rule to a remarkable degree for a kids comic. Pretty much anyone who dies is guaranteed to stay dead. For example, the original Dr. Robotnik stayed dead completely and the character was brought back by having an alternate universe version take his place rather than being revived. In most cases, however, non-SEGA characters have a greater chance of dying for good. | |

Bathos | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_96a2363c | comment |
Bathos: The earliest comics in the series liberally used this. Aside from the basic setup of "Robotnik has already conquered Mobius, roboticized most of its population and is only opposed by a tiny group of Freedom Fighters", they did not take themselves seriously at all, and the comics made frequent pop culture references, puns, outright impossible cartoony actions and frequent fourth wall breaks with little to none of the stronger characterization or worldbuilding that would come to define the comics. While the later comics still had similar comedic elements (a good example of is when Sonic and Sally revisit the burned out remains of Knothole Village, an otherwise melancholy scene punctuated by a Call-Back gag where two nearby trees—which were established in a very early story as being able to communicate through thought bubbles—are shown to still be around and are able to humorously comment on the situation to each other despite being burned to a crisp), they were far more reigned in than the tales that kicked off the series. | |

Penders retconned it into having been the result of Antoine having been swapped out for his Evil Twin from another dimension. | |

The characters' personalities were also vastly different at first.

Barefoot Cartoon Animal: A few examples, such as Nicole in her lynx form, Rosemary Prower (Tails's mother), the alien Ceneca-9009, and Bunnie Rabbot (after she regained her flesh-and-blood limbs, at least). Pretty much everyone who regularly went barefoot was retooled to wear shoes after the second Genesis Wave (including Nicole and Bunnie - the latter regaining her robotic limbs, but having her feet look more like white, pink-striped boots). However, another barefooter was later introduced during the Sonic Unleashed adaptation with the priestess Coral the Betta. | |

This also extends to its video game tie-ins.

After the Continuity Reboot, it was stated that all video games, with the exceptions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Lost World, Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Chronicles are canon and happened the way they did in the games. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |

"Not So Different" Remark: The Brotherhood is pretty damn hypocritical in their combating the Dark Legion, using the very technology that they convinced echidna society to ban and thereby started the conflict in the first place. The Dark Legion comes close to calling them out on this on several occasions. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom. This applies to Sonic, Sally, Knuckles, and Tails' respective families. Issue 50 revealed that Sonic's dad and uncle found Robotnik and brought him to King Max, who made his infamous decision to make him the new Warlord. Additionally the brothers drove off a young Regina Ferrum back in the day as well, not to mention Charles invented the roboticizer. During this time up to when they were captured, Knuckles' father and ancestors were aware of Robotnik, but devoted none of their considerable resources to stop him, despite Robotnik once trying to weaponize the Floating island in the Sonic and Knuckles tie-in comic and trying to drive the island into the sea in the Death Egg saga despite the Knuckles spin-off title revealing his family was still living on the island and would've been aware of this; Locke even commented on the Ultimate Annihilator in the spin-off title. And almost immediately after they returned, Tails's parents caused a political reformation that may well have resulted in, in addition to King Naugus, the disaster Silver's trying to prevent. Geoffrey as well. He admitted in court that he purposefully avoided warning King Max about Robotnik before his original takeover. By passing up an opportunity like that, he became partially responsible for almost everything in the book up to this point, including his wife's death. His actions may have led to Silver's disaster as well: if he hadn't stolen the purple Chaos Emerald for Naugus, the Freedom Fighters might've used its power to repel Eggman's attack without losing Sally. Since she was roboticized, her team has broken up and according to Silver, his disaster started in the arctic, where Sally was before the crossover... | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_99dfd4fc | comment |
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Sonic's team, and their affiliates, have undergone this many times, even before the Cosmic Retcon even happened, effectively changing the storyline now and again. They've lost their home of Old Mobotropolis three times (invaded by Julian, invaded by Eggman, and nuked by their Station Square allies by accident). Knothole revamped from a simply village to a prosperous kingdom while Sonic was mistaken for dead for a year. It was later utterly decimated by Eggman, forcing everyone to take residence in a new kingdom. The main Freedom Fighters have been threatened to be dissolved by King Acorn, but was later reinstated. Much later when Sally was roboticized, Antoine was hospitalized, and Bunnie disappearing, Sonic and Rotor realize the old team structure wasn't working and reformed it to Team Freedom and Team Fighters, holding onto members of the old team and introducing new friends into it. Julian Kintobor, the first Robotnik, was erased by his own doomsday weapon. After dealing with Ixis Naugus afterwords, Sonic feels this way as Mobotropolis experiences its first moment of peace in years. And then Eggman, the second Robotnik, arrives to "change the game" of the war. Knuckles was so used to being the only echidna after his father seemingly passed on, he wasn't prepared to deal with evil members of his race, the return of other echidnas in a formerly vanishing city, the knowledge of civil war history, and, lest we forget, the discovery that both of his parents are alive all along. Later, Eggman invades and destroys both Echidnaopolis and Albion, scattering the surviving echidnakind across Mobius, all before siglehandedly putting them on the endangered species list and using the ramnents of the Dark Legion as cannon fodder... | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Antoine takes several, Evil Sonic when he becomes Scourge, and Dr. Eggman big time after he overcomes his Villainous Breakdown purely with logic, snaps out of his insanity, and puts himself back in the game arguably more dangerous than ever. His return to sanity is even punctuated by quite possibly the most dark and ominous panel Eggman has ever appeared in. Especially obvious in issue 225 where he toys with Sonic to stall for time, nonchalantly injures/possibly kills Sally, then he fires his cosmic retcon device while holding a glass of wine, watching Sonic battle his robots from above, to celebrate his absolute victory. 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. | |

Sonic's only made around 10 appearances in the series, aside from covers. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The Moebius story arc gave a few: Boomer, while reinventing himself, decided to make himself into an cyborg. When Rotor decided to become an active Freedom Fighter again after suffering a crippling back injury, he had NICOLE make him a suit of nanite armor. Buns, the Anti-Bunnie, developed a lethal disease and was abandoned by the Suppression Squad, causing her to seek help from Dr. Kintobor who gave her a mechasuit that staved off her illness. Bunnie would later lose her robotic limbs thanks to Naugus's magic and lost her ability to fight as a result, causing her to abandon the Freedom Fighters. If the story had continued, Bunnie would have willingly gone through legionization to get her robotic limbs back, possibly becoming the traitor Silver warned about. Patch, the Anti-Antoine, originally wore an eyepatch just to look cool. During Scourge's conquest of Moebius, the hedgehog made sure that Patch's namesake served its purpose. After being severely injured by Metal Sonic, Antoine's facial bandaging covers his right eye, suggesting that he would have lost it if the reboot hadn't happened. | |

Reimagining the Artifact | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9ecb2ba8 | comment |
Reimagining the Artifact: The original continuity retains the same basic backstory as Satam, with Robotnik managing to take over Mobius after getting into the monarchy's good graces, and King Acorn and Chuck carelessly left their artillery is in his hands. Since being tricked by Robotnik, let alone an Obviously Evil one, had slowly became defined as an Idiot Ball trait throughout the franchise, the Archie franchise justified this carelessness by reinventing King Acorn from a supposedly wise monarch into a hot blooded old fool prone to terrible decision making, while Chuck's carelessness with the Robotocizer is excused by his depression over the device failing to properly revise his brother (at the time), with him carrying much more visible guilt over the many lives he ruined with this oversight. By contrast, Knuckles and other characters' gullibility towards Robotnik was largely a "fool me once" rule and often excused by being a Fish out of Water, since it would be exceptionally incredulous to keep trusting this far more belligerent take on the doctor. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity / Continuity Reboot: Invoked; due to the Cosmic Retcon, which rewrote their entire universe on a molecular and timeline level (which not only completely wiped characters like Robotnik Prime out of existence, but ensured he never existed in the first place) none of the original 251 stories technically happened, and the existing cast only has faint memories of the original timeline that will eventually fade away. Ironically, this makes the Sonic Encyclopedia, released just before the reboot, a near-perfect compilation of the original universe, barring "Endangered Species", "Chaotix Quest", Sonic Universe #50 and Sonic the Hedgehog #247. | |

Silver's crusade to find a Freedom Fighter that will doom the future ultimately leaves him a pariah with the group due to curtly accusing or attacking any member he comes to the conclusion may be a suspect. He finally discovers the true pivot was Sally, unwillingly while robotised, though Tails still has to prevent a livid Sonic from attacking him after he awkwardly words this as Sally being a traitor. | |

MacGuffin: Much like the games and Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), the Chaos Emeralds, Master Emerald, and Powers Rings to an extent all play a crucial role in the series now and again. There was also the Source of All, a liquid substance hidden beneath Mobotropolis that plays a critical role in the Acorn Family's rise to power. There was also the Sword and Crown of Acorns made from the Source that possesses great power. The Source and its relice were sought after by Mogul and Robotnik, but were destined to be destroyed. | |

And I Must Scream: This was a big part of the reason roboticization was supposed to be so horrifying.

Geoffrey was subjected to this after Naugus possesses his body.

In practice, this is a Depending on the Writer situation — Bunnie, for example, wielded guns for some time, although she never used them. Rotor's stance on the matter has been inconsistent even in the hands of the same writer. When Robotnik returns in the form of Eggman, Sally goes to the Brotherhood of Guardians for help. When they offer to supply the Mobians with firearms she turns them down, effectively ensuring that the Freedom Fighters would have to go without the echidnas' help. | |

Then he starts scratching madly, which makes him swell up until he can't move. This, unfortunately, coincides with Robotnik making Pseudo Sonic, a robotic duplicate meant to infiltrate Knothole and discredit Sonic. | |

Locke's motives for exposing Knuckles to Chaos energy right after his birth and forcefully railroading him into the life of a Guardian was because he had what he believed to be a prophetic dream about Knuckles needing to be strong enough to face an incredibly fearsome adversary. The foe in question would have been Dr. Droid from Ken Penders The Lost Ones series piloting an giant Robotnik mecha and Knuckles would have faced him in a Super Sonic Special story called "Knuckles: Twenty Years Later".

Loophole Abuse | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Elias Acorn is preparing to confront Amadeus Prower after he learns Tails and Rosemary had freed him, knowing that he's attempting to replace the monarchy with a democracy. He tells NICOLE not to wake his parents and alert them of the situation. As the two men fight, a third party steps in to stop the fight - Elias' sister, Sally, whom NICOLE points out he never said anything about. After being hacked by A.D.A.M. and forced to help him in his plans, Jules is subsequently ordered to self-destruct after doing so. Jules instead exploits the fact that A.D.A.M. didn't actually specify when to self-destruct to hold it off until Sonic takes A.D.A.M. down. A meta-example; while Sega mandates insisted that Sonic always win or bounce back from a short-term defeat, the writers still found plenty of ways to keep him from becoming an outright Invincible Hero by making several of his victories gruelling or bittersweet. Best shown in issues 175-177: Eggman breaks out a Powered Armor specifically designed to outmatch and outfight Sonic in every way, and Sonic only manages to dent the shield the armor uses despite his best efforts, and Eggman beats him down both physically and mentally. While Sonic manages to bounce back, save his loved ones and friends, and send Eggman packing with their help, he still got his prickly behind handed to him, and Knothole Village was still destroyed. | |

Pantsless Males, Fully-Dressed Females | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b3595485 | comment |
Pantsless Males, Fully-Dressed Females: Prior to the reboot, this was something of a toss-up as characters' state of dress varied regardless of gender (SEGA-types tend to go with their canon design, SatAM/AoStH-types with their canon design and original characters tend to be fully dressed). Post-reboot, everyone goes SEGA-standard, meaning guys wear, at least, shoes and gloves while girls are fully dressed. | |

Genius Serum | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b4bccabc | comment |
Genius Serum: A VERY early issue had Tails eat a fruit from Rotor's Tree of Knowledge, instantly gaining a mega-genius intellect. It lasted long enough for him to get a swollen ego and try to take on Robotnik himself. According to Word of God, however, while the boost in knowledge was temporary, the fruit did permanently unlock Tails's own enhanced intelligence, explaining his at the time rather childish depiction suddenly falling into line with the technical genius he was depicted in in the games. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: By the time the series was about a decade into it's run, it became very apparent that Robotnik-Prime's bid in taking over the planet really shouldn't have been as successful, or lasted as long as it did, Freedom Fighters excluded. Note that some of these elements were from before the reboot and thus might not have carried over to the new continuity. There were the magic users, including Naugus,note who willingly entered the Zone of Silence he created when Robotnik defected during the Great War, only to be trapped inside, Mogul,note an immortal being who not only possesses magical energy, but the power of a Chaos Emerald, and various others who apparently could have been at least a minor threat to Robotnik, but chose to do nothing. The biggest example for Naugus is in 225: Despite having the power to travel through shadows, so he might've been able to stealthily track Eggman down and kill him, Naugus takes the Death Egg Mk 2 head-on and gets knocked aside since its defenses can block his magic attacks. Immediately after Geoffrey told him not to underestimate the DE no less. The Echidnas, who include the Brotherhood of Guardiansnote who possessed advanced technology and determined Robotnik to "not be a major concern," and the Dark Legion,note who were otherwise trapped in another dimension, but had at times broken out and made it back to Mobius, and the civilizations of Echidnopolis and Albion.note Both were highly advanced civilizations who could have helped nip Robotnik's tyrany in the bud, but also did nothing. By the time Eggman had gotten to them, he possessed enough technology, force, and allies to raze both of them to the ground. The Overlandersnote Robotnik's own people. Even ignoring the citizens of Megaopolis who followed Robotnik's brother to space in self-imposed exile, the Overland was broken up into different city states as it was prior to the Great War and apparently went into dormancy. The comic certainly went for long stretches before acknowledging the Overlanders still existed on-planet, and treated them as apparently not fighting at all against Robotnik, no resistance that the reader could see and Humansnote normal Humans, technically a separate species from Overlanders. Even ignoring Station Square, which went undetected for millennia, and knew nothing about the Great War or any of the Robotnik Wars, there were still several highly advanced human city-states which were at times in alliance with the Overland. While the humans refused to help the Overlanders in their war with the Mobians, they still seemed to go as quiet as the Overlanders concerning Robotnik, and would not be seen in getting involved in the fight against them until they re-established the United Federation, ala Sonic Adventue 2 & Shadow The Hedgehog which included the entire G.U.N. military of the United Federation. And perhaps most alarmingly, the Acorn Monarchy even possessed a pool of magical goo, called the "Source of All" which would allow whatever Royal who bathed in it to have "guidance" through their reign and allowed them to see what future events would come in their time. Despite going through this ritual, King Acorn apparently never saw the Great War and it's instigators, Robotnik coming or his own banishment to another Zone coming from a mile away. Aside from creating the Sword of Acorns & the Royal Crown which possessed great magic, the Source did nothing for itself or the Royal Family, and was ultimately destroyed when Robotropolis was nuked by Station Square, which neither it nor the Royal Family saw coming! | |

Villain Episode: The "Scourge: Lockdown" arc (Issues 29-32 in Sonic Universe) is all about Scourge, Fiona, and the Destructix trying to bust out of the Zone Cops' prison. The "Babylonian Rising" arc (Issues 33-36) was mostly about the Babylon Rouges and the Battle Bird Armada competing to get into the Babylonian Gardens. Sonic and his friends show up midway though it's still mostly the villains' story. The "Scrambled" arc (issues 37-40) was focused on Eggman dealing with Snively's latest betrayal. | |

Executive Meddling | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b6de94d1 | comment |
A meta-example; while Sega mandates insisted that Sonic always win or bounce back from a short-term defeat, the writers still found plenty of ways to keep him from becoming an outright Invincible Hero by making several of his victories gruelling or bittersweet. Best shown in issues 175-177: Eggman breaks out a Powered Armor specifically designed to outmatch and outfight Sonic in every way, and Sonic only manages to dent the shield the armor uses despite his best efforts, and Eggman beats him down both physically and mentally. While Sonic manages to bounce back, save his loved ones and friends, and send Eggman packing with their help, he still got his prickly behind handed to him, and Knothole Village was still destroyed. | |

Ungrateful Townsfolk: Mina Mongoose uses her status as an Idol Singer to present a message regarding possible problems should NICOLE be compromised and turned against them as she was during the Iron Queen's occupation of New Mobotropolis; using it to his advantage, Ixis Naugus uses his Hate Plague to amplify all existing fears and paranoia regarding NICOLE, eventually leading to her being exiled from the city completely. The Freedom Fighters respond with this trope: Rotor resigns from his seat on the Council on the spot in response to NICOLE's exile, and Sonic openly wishes that Eggman, who was in hiding at the time, would resurface just so they could see how quickly the citizens went from scorning NICOLE to begging for her protection. | |

Adaptational Explanation: In the original TV series, King Acorn and Uncle Chuck unknowingly enabling Robotnik's coup was implied to be merely down to Horrible Judge of Character and complacency with their artillery (bordering on an Idiot Ball moment for the otherwise crafty Chuck), while the comic's backstory bothers to show Robotnik's slow manipulation of their trust (and ability to cover up his crueller impulses) along with other stressful factors clouding their better judgement. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Rotor Walrus has been hit hard with this, he started out as a strong fixture in the Freedom Fighters, then got kicked into this position after issue #125, in fact his jacked-up importance and Word of Gay relationship in the "Mobius: 25 Years Later" storyline was meant by previous head writer Ken Penders as a way of moving him out of extra status and giving him a much-needed jolt of Character Development. Sadly, when current head writer Ian Flynn took over, he was beaten back down to this spot violently, in both the main comic and the "M:25YL" storyline for quite some time. He eventually regained some prominence when he joined the Royal Council and later made himself a high-tech suit, but not until he'd been largely unseen for several years. A group of characters called "The Substitute Freedom Fighters" faded out of relevance soon after their introduction. Currently, they were brought back as councilors on the royal council. One of them, Hamlin, was angry enough about his treatment that he joined the council out of spite for the Freedom Fighters. Knuckles has also been demoted heavily since his own spin off comic series ended, likely due to his life on Angel Island making it harder to focus alongside the Freedom Fighters down on Mobius. Interestingly, Sonic himself was affected by this - after the Knuckles comic got canceled, Sonic was limited to mostly being stuck in Knothole following the Sonic Adventure adaptation, with Knuckles and Tails getting a lot of the screen time and action in their backup stories, due to a case of Creator's Pet. A lot of this is Lampshaded in the "Off-Panel" comic strips at the end of the Sonic Universe comics, from Knuckles flipping out over the title not exactly being his to Charmy commenting that if he was going to show up in a storyline, it would be here. | |

Snively, Uma, Kodos, and Dragon were just a few who were placed here until Snively supposedly broken them out (it was later revealed to have been Dr. Eggman who was responsible). | |

The Multiverse | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b9e8ad28 | comment |
The Multiverse: Very early on, the comic parodied the DC multiverse with a literal "superhighway" connecting the various worlds. In a "Bizarro" universe, Dr. Eggman is a kindly veterinarian, while Sonic and his cohorts are evil hooligans in biker outfits. In another, Dr. Eggman was nearly defeated by the Freedom Fighters, but turned himself into a robot as a last resort (and he's even more kill-crazy than the original). Another is a whole prison dimension called the "No Zone" where many of the characters have a "Z" in their names (Zonic, Zobotnik, etc) and are policemen keeping tabs on the world criminals of the multiverse or are said criminals themselves. Oh yeah and gravity is screwy to keep criminals off balance and prevent them from escaping. Every Sonic game and television show is canon to the comic, except that most exist in multiple universes, or 'Zones'. This includes: The 'Prime' Universe, the Sol Dimension, the Sonic Underground Universe, the (inevitable) Sabrina the Teenage Witch crossover, and a Sailor Moon-inspired universe where Knuckles wears a tuxedo. Go figure. The "real" world is yet another universe, and features lawyer-friendly versions of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, hot on the trail of a giant blue talking hedgehog. (Sonic Live) The Cosmic Retcon following Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide caused the entire multiverse to collapse on itself and be reborn. Unfortunately, Ken Penders has claimed he owns the idea of a Sonic multiverse, so Archie was extremely unlikely to do anything of the sort in the reboot aside from Blaze's dimension (which originated in the video games). The whole concept died completely when the Archie comics were cancelled in 2017. However, there is an obvious loophole that was taken in Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Unite - There's no more multiverse of Sonics - there's the Sega multiverse and the Capcom multiverse. | |

So much so that in their first appearance, they tried to strand Sonic and Tails in their city so that they would always be there to help them fight. Hell, their modus operandi is to practically kidnap anyone traveling through the desert and force them to work for them, as the Chaotix's latest arc shows. | |

Mind Screw: After Genesis Wave II, NICOLE has been used to restore old world memories for the Freedom Fighters. The reaction has been depicted as this...save for Bunnie, who undergoes a Despair Event Horizon due to changes in history in the new realityspoilerBunnie's robotic limbs in the new reality were constructs to save her life from an attack, not the result of Unwilling Roboticization. This makes it highly unlikely she'll ever be restored again., and Sally, who undergoes a similar Despair Event Horizon after very suddenly remembering everything she did as Mecha Sally. | |

Earthquakes Cause Fissures | |

Earthquakes Cause Fissures: One of the early comics had Robotnik evacuate Robotropolis because he discovered a massive earthquake was about to hit; when it did, it tore the city a new one. The effects of Eggman's tampering with reality during Genesis caused earthquakes that got progressively worse, to the point that they obliterated an entire city-sized factory complex. | |

Irony | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: The historical/geographical kind, at least in the original version of Mobius. The location of the capital city of a one world absolute monarchy? Texas. The home of the racist aggressors and oppressors? New England. The reaction of the Freedom Fighters' government to the people's demands for democratic reform? Crush the rebellion, and imprison the leader. Both Tails and Knuckles were foreseen as having grand heroic destinies fighting against horrible threats. However when you look through the stories involving said destinies, it's easy to feel that the actual threats were their fault. note Both Tails and Knuckles had obtained reality warping powers, the Titan Tails and Green Knuckles stories, with TT being on par with the Super Genesis Wave. Basically, it never occurred to them that they could easily neutralize Eggman and their other enemies with those powers. | |

Hope Spot: The final arc of the Sonic Unleashed adaptation, Panic in Sky, starts with the Freedom Fighters having gotten all the Chaos Emeralds and Gaia Keys, sent them on ahead back to the Acorn Kingdom for safe keeping before informing their allies of their success and even thinking they have the element of surprise over Eggman as they get ready to to fix the world. Which they did... except a newly rebuilt Tails Doll managed to slip into Sky Patrol early into their escapade and monitor their actions while hiding in a vent. It reports back to Eggman who quickly organizes a coordinated sneak attack on both the Sky Patrol and Acorn Kingdom, ending with him getting the keys and emeralds, Chip getting kidnapped and the Sky Patrol shot down.

Yank the Dog's Chain | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c4db6423 | comment |
Yank the Dog's Chain: This happened to Bunnie across the Cosmic Retcon. Just prior, her de-roboticization opened up the possibility of having children with Antoine. It was shortly after this that Antoine was gravely injured in a Heroic Sacrifice. After the Genesis Wave II, when the new reality's Bunnie had her old reality memories restored, she got the memories of being de-roboticized. Just one problem: in the new reality, her robotic parts weren't the result of roboticization, but were limbs built due to injuries. So she came to the realization that having natural children with Antoine was never going to be possible, and had arguably the worst Heroic B So D of the Freedom Fighters who had their memories restored. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father: A variation occurs with Enerjak, who is Knuckles's distant ancestor. Again when the Dark Legion is revealed to be a bunch of echidnas (and led by one of Enerjak/Dimitri's descendants to boot). Then, yet again when Julie-Su finds out that she's the daughter of one of the Legion's Grandmasters, and Kragok and Lien-da's sister. A more literal example occurs when it's confirmed that Remington is Kragok's son. Hope Kintobor was told that her father Colin wasn't her biological father, and Snively was just her step-half brother. It was a lie. When Snively reveals this that they are indeed half-siblings, Hope is shocked but happy at the news. Until Snively goes on about taking over world together as brother and sister. At which Hope breaks down and tells him to get out of her life. | |

Orwellian Retcon | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_cf57aca1 | comment |
Orwellian Retcon: When some old stories were reprinted in Sonic Firsts, Princess Sally was recolored to match her modern design and all references to "Boomer" were changed to "Rotor". In general, compilations often have slight art improvements and corrections for continuity. The most common one is Sonic's eyelids being recolored to blue rather than tan. To an extent, the early issues in general used two different discarded color schemes for Sally. This was eventually explained as her having taken a dunk in chemicals that changed her color; it took her some time to remove all the chemicals from her fur, resulting in the color changes. | |

Catching the Speedster: Non-lethal example, but the climactic final battle of the "End Game" saga sees Sonic and Dr. Robotnik go one on one in the Annihilator's control room. The small size of the room and Robotnik's own girth negate the advantage of Sonic's speed, and the Doctor is able to deliver quite a few hits by simply grabbing Sonic and slamming him into the wall. It's telling that the battle only ended because the Annihilator went off but had been sabotaged, causing it to only target Robotnik. Had things gone without that hitch, Robotnik would have won. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Although based on the more serious SatAM cartoon, the earlier comics were much more similar to the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon in tone, with little continuity. The series got more serious and interconnected as it went on. The Endgame arc is pretty much the point where things have fully shifted, and it remained that way through the beginning of Ian Flynn's run on issue 160. Subtly pointed out by Horizont-Al and Verti-Cal; when they first appeared in #2, they were wacky and whimsical characters, always playing around and changing the laws of physics of their dimension for kicks. When we run into them in #59, it turns out the Ultimate Annihilator destroyed their home, they blamed each other during the rebuild, and they turned into giant robots in a never-ending war against each other. | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Lots of bowdlerized profanities. Actually subverted with Antoine, who frequently says mon dieu. In issue 172 he says "Zut alors!", which means "Damn them!" Scourge the Hedgehog and Nack the Weasel both actually do swear, though censored, since this IS a kid's comic. | |

Holier Than Thou | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_d1ceb951 | comment |
Holier Than Thou: The echidna. They were the first advanced civilization and were active for millinea, seeing the other races below them. They're even like that to themselves. A recurring plot in later stories is other fractions conflicting with the core Freedom Fighters, accusing them of being Control Freaks that belittle the contributions of others or ignore suggestions that could have prevented dire consequences. Since strawmen arguments aren't uncommon, to what degree this has substance varies, though compared to the echidnas, the Freedom Fighters at least add up to their ego more. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: This applies to Sally, Knuckles, Antoine, and Geoffrey in terms of calling Sonic immature, obnoxious, and needing to grow up. Sally has been a princess for an incredible amount of time and never just ascends to title of Queen. Contrary to all the obligations that goes with it nothing says she can't be a queen but lead the Freedom Fighters (her father was king and led and army into battle.) She also never steps up and challenges her father but instead chooses to whine that his choices are unfair instead of calling him out and talking to him like an adult but as his little girl. Generally most character's flaws Sally claims to mediate, she will often have ten fold. She opposes Sonic's recklessness and failure to follow procedures, though in pressured situations, makes similar impulsive or illy thought through decisions, and is just as willing to defy the Council of Acorn when she believes they are being ObstructiveBureaucrats (despite electing them to position in the first place). She similarly chastises Sonic's overconfidence, though her complacency against the Iron Dominion led to NICOLE being very easily corrupted and New Mobotroplis being taken over (though she at least had the decency to acknowledge this Idiot Ball). She is also shown mediating Monkey Khan's temper throughout the same arc, only to go apeshit at the sight of traitor and Suppression Squad member, Fiona Fox attempting an Enemy Mine, ironically while Sonic and Khan themselves were discussing the offer rather cool-headedly and were left comically stunned by Sally's vicious streak. Knuckles often calls Sonic obnoxious and having a big ego, but Knuckles himself is no easier to deal with. His entire training as Guardian basically made an antisocial hot-head who sees every stranger, even children, as a potential enemy and always resorts to using his fists before reason. That being said he's miles better than the rest of his family as he actually tries to help everyone. Antoine calls Sonic ego centric and does not play well with others which is sometimes true but Antoine isn't any better. He himself had an ego for a time and in all honesty Sonic has earn the right to brag about himself. Considering he runs head first into battle against tyrants that put him as number 1 on their shit list and never backs down or is intimidated. Antoine can only dream to get that far. Geoffrey is the worst among them. He lost both his parents which made him easy to manipulate by Naugus, but here's the kicker...SO HAS EVERYONE ELSE. He's not the only person to lose loved ones. Sonic has had the displeasure of fighting his and other peoples' loved ones and having to break terrible news to people but he learns to move on as there are more important things to worry about. That's impressive considering that in one of his jaunts into alternate dimensions he had to kill that world's version of his own father. Another comes in as Geoffrey is honestly very insecure and has issues with envy. He never fully gets over his jealousy of Sonic's love-life with Sally and successes. This started when Sonic was teenager and he was a grown man and to this day despite being married and having a life he still has some hate towards Sonic. Possibly the best example is in Endgame: Despite personally knowing about Robotnik's Auto Automatons, robots that can perfectly imitate people, he still believes that Sonic killed Sally until when Dulcy confirms that Sonic's been framed, stating that dragons can sense truth. Throw in his jealousy, and Geoffrey just inexplicably seems to hate Sonic so much that all he needs is an excuse. Arguably even Sonic himself to some degree. While he retains his "like the wind" ethics of the games counterpart, he tends to be one of the Freedom Fighters most wary to others stepping out of line or not listening to him, in some cases bordering a tantrum prone Control Freak. Add to that he has an inconsistent attitude to pacifism and forgiveness, while he has considered sympathy even for his mortal enemy, Eggman at times, he held a rather lengthy violent grudge against both Silver for his rather tasteless (and badly timed) approach to heroics and Knuckles for...just plain out not liking each other. | |

During the "Enerjak Reborn" arc, it was revealed just about everything Finitevus had done since his introduction had been part of his plan to create a new Enerjak. It was also revealed that he was the unnamed Echidna scientist who had attempted to return Chaos Knuckles to normal by draining his power (the backfire from that being what rendered him albino). | |

Continuity Cameo | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_de70f5a4 | comment |
Continuity Cameo: Bean and Bark got a few of one-off appearances before showing up as actual characters later on. Their earlier appearances are impossible to reconcile with their current role, though. Issue #134 has some Characters from the UK's Sonic the Comic (Tekno the Canary, Ebony the Cat and her partner Pajaymas, Shortfuse the Cybernik and Metamorphia) make cameo appearances. Licensing issues have prevented them from appearing since. The only appearances of 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). After Worlds Collide, the Black Arms return to Sonic's world in some Shadow-focused Sonic Universe arcs to avenge Black Doom's death (the events of Shadow the Hedgehog occurred in the reboot timeline). Mephiles the Dark and Void appeared as inmates in the Zone Jail in Sonic Universe #29. | |

The Sonic Adventure snarl was particularly nasty, as it involved taking what had been (until then) a relatively archaic world with violent humanoids and trying to force half of the cast into an Ordinary High-School Student scenario and trying to introduce humans that were somehow completely different in personality than the ones met formerly without getting rid of the underlying Humans Are the Real Monsters subtext. Sonic Adventure 2 didn't receive a full adaptation, only a tie-in issue that goes over Shadow's backstory and the comic's version of the events leading up to Sonic's arrest, telling the reader to buy the game if they want the full story. This led to some immediate story problems going unexplained, such as the fact that Amy, Tails and Knuckles were all preoccupied with their own plots at the time and couldn't have taken part in the comic's version of Sonic Adventure 2 or that Robotnik's grandfather working for GUN makes little sense due to Station Square and overlander society being separate at the time. Issue 2 of Sonic Universe would later try and address many of the lore conflicts by showing off more of the comic's version of Sonic Adventure 2 through flashbacks. In Shadow's first major story arc, there were some issues stemming from the creative team's unfamiliarity with the games, such as Shadow not knowing that Eggman was Gerald's grandson and Eggman claiming that Maria was his half-sister instead of his cousin. | |

Ontological Inertia: After defeating Dr. Eggman in issue 200, the citizens of New Mobotropolis take to celebrating as soon as they hear the news, believing the Eggman Empire is finally finished. They discover the hard way that just because Eggman's gone down doesn't mean his assets have, and his resources and technology are immediately seized by the Iron Queen, who wastes no time coming at all in coming to the city and taking it over. Monkey Khan chews Sonic and co. for thinking that it'd be that easy. | |

Gender Equals Breed: The only exception is Jon, the son of Rob O'Hedge and Mari-An. Despite being male, he is an Echidna like his mom. The Sonic Encyclopedia explains this; when Mobians of two different species pair up they typically result in twins — a boy with his father's breed and a girl with her mother's. Single born hybrids are extremely rare, with traits leaning mostly towards one breed, regardless of gender, with a notable trait of the other. | |

Art Evolution | |

Art Evolution: The comic's "standard" style has changed many times. At first, the art mimicked Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM). Around the time Sonic Adventure was released, the comic redesigned Sonic, Tails, and Amy to reflect their game counterparts and the book took on an Animesque style. The style of the book gradually shifted to the look of the modern video games, and eventually the older Archie characters were redesigned again for the Continuity Reboot. | |

Flanderization | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: An aversion may come from the early comics, which had a much zanier and cartoony format thus exaggerated a lot of the characters' traits compared to their SatAM counterparts, e.g. Sonic existed as a Karmic Trickster with a Totally Radical mannerisms akin to his AoStH counterpart, Sally's somewhat neurotic and no-nonsense attitude was exaggerated into a spoiled, mean-tempered prude and Robotnik was converted into even bigger a bumbling Card-Carrying Villain than his "Eggman" incarnations. This was reversed as the comic's writing tone became more serious and akin to the show, though some genuine cases of flanderization do pop up on occasion. | |

Truce Trickery: When the Xorda return to attack Mobius, Eggman offers up a temporary truce with the Kingdom of Knothole. He claims to have a machine capable of fighting back against the Xorda's doomsday weapon, but it requires Sonic's superspeed to work. King Acorn agrees (after first forcing Eggman into ceding Territory to them) and Sonic is sent out. Unfortunately it turns out while Eggman had been telling the truth about the machine stopping the Xorda weapon, it was also meant to kill Sonic once it's task was done. | |

Transformation Exhilaration: Sonic reveals that the Super Sonic transformation always leaves him feeling pepped up and ready for action, even when it expires. This is an important fact when Scourge, Sonic's anti-Mobius counterpart, uses his Anarchy Beryls to become Super Scourge. Sonic reasons that since Anti-Mobius runs opposite of his, forcing Scourge to drop his transformation would leave him exhausted and thus easy to beat. Turns out he's right. | |

No Ending | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: The comic sadly never had a real proper ending thanks to the cancellation. Even before the reboot, the current story arcs (Sonic, Tails and Amy chasing after a robotized Sally, the matter with Naugus ruling New Mobotopolis and him having possessed Geoffrey. On the Universe side of things, Finitevus plotting something and Scourge set to make a comeback) were never concluded thanks to the lawsuit between Archie and Ken being settled and the writers using the crossover with Mega Man (Archie Comics) to preform a Cosmic Retcon to change the whole world of the series. The closest the comic got in recent times was the end of the Shattered World arc which had Sonic and the Freedom Fighters saving the world from Dark Gaia. But Eggman still got away at the end with it implied he was going to the Lost Hex to find a different power source for the Death Egg, among other supposed threats he had in store (such as a new roboticizer). The following issues afterward were one issue compressed re-tellings of Sonic's past games (1, 2 and CD) which likewise just ended on cliffhangers and telling the readers to play the games to find out what happened. Had the series continued, we would've gotten one more issue featuring Sonic 3 & Knuckles before heading into a new story arc proper. Likewise the final Sonic Universe arc ended on a simple story with the Chaotix and that left a cliffhanger with the Setting Dawn Pirates stranded on an island with a supposedly dangerous weapon they had found in a temple. Again, had things continued, a new story arc would've followed. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |

Redemption Equals Death: This is the case for the original Metal Sonic, who sacrifices himself to save Sonic and Tails after seeing Sonic go through everything to save his best friend. Subverted after he was rebuilt as part of the Secret Freedom Fighters storyline. | |

Velvet Revolution | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f18ac036 | comment |
Shortly after moving into New Mobotropolis, Tails' parents launch a Velvet Revolution with the intent of turning the Kingdom of Acorn into a democracy. While they did so at the worst possible time, right after the war against Eggman escalated to a major degree, their criticisms of the Acorns' leadership are perfectly valid; while King Max meant well, he was still a slave to tradition and Horrible Judge of Character who's decisions and refusal to heed the warnings of others led to the Great War, the destruction of Old Mobotropolis and Knothole Village, and subjected all of Mobius to Robotnik's tyranny for over a decade. Harvey Who makes those very same points when Elias approaches him for help in reclaiming the throne from Naugus, openly stating Amadeus and Rosemary were right and the Acorns don't deserve to rule; he only agrees to help after confirming that Elias is nothing like Max. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Enerjak usually is this when he appears. Demigod powers at his minimum, he constantly underestimates his opponents, becomes extremely frustrated with those that he can't simply steamroll over, (causing him to make careless mistakes), and doesn't know how to strategize. | |

Product Placement: Stories that really serve no purpose other than to serve as a five-page advertisement for whatever the newest Sonic game is. Word of God has declared the "another time, another place" stories were non-canon in the comic's continuity, although some elements from the games themselves may seep in. Sometimes the "Editor Notes" will include something along the lines "Find out more in this other issue, Available Now!" Often lampshaded in the Sonic-Grams letters page, where if a graphic novel is mentioned they would follow it by a "PlugPlugPlug." | |

By and far, the biggest of these situations was when the entire planet united to fight off the Xorda invasion. And naturally, as soon as the Xorda were fought off (and Sonic was sent into space), Eggman stabbed his allies in the back. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Robo-Robotnik/Dr. Eggman, for, well, himself. Continuity treats them as the same character, more or less. Bow Sparrow and Thorn the Lop for Rob o' the Hedge and Mari-An, respectively. Rob was originally featured on the preview cover for SU #47, but a new cover was created in the wake of his absence. Also worth mentioning is Axel the Water Buffalo subbing in for Diesel the Bear, a character who only appeared in a single issue. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My! | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f61cddc9 | comment |
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The comic kinda flip flops on this. In the old verse, there were two types of humanoid species, regular humans and Overlanders (of which Robotnik and Eggman belong to) who were mutated humans after an alien race changed the planet with gene bombs (though Meta-wise, it was just a way to explain why most of the human looking characters look different then others). There doesn't really seem to be much difference save for Overlanders having four fingers, special abilities and supposed increased aggression though there are a few good Overlanders. For the most part, Overlanders and humans live in their own colonies separate from the humanoid animals and are very rarely seen with the most prominent being Robotnik, Eggman, Snively, Hope, Nate Morgan (up till his death), and Regina a.k.a Iron Queen. In the new verse, it seems it just regular humans and anthromophic animals living side by side with no mutation involved. | |

Unanthropomorphic Transformation: The sad fate of Mobius's Tasmanian Devil species, courtesy of the Echidnas who weren't keen on competition for space. To add insult the injuries, the newly christened "devil dogs" were then employed by the Echidnas as guard dogs, work beasts, and experimental animals. Thrash, the last unaltered Tasmanian Devil, is understandably upset by this and enacts a scheme to even the score by eliminating all but one of the Echidna (as well as Charmy's fiance Saffron for some reason). | |

Murder Is the Best Solution | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f6b30338 | comment |
Murder Is the Best Solution: Councilor Gala-Na of Albion displayed this way of thinking on multiple occasions: First, by ordering the High Sheriff, Robotnik's Mercia Sub-Boss, dismantled, uncaring that he's Antoine's roboticized father and refusing to risk letting the Freedom Fighters take him back to Knothole in order to restore his free will even after Antoine literally begged her to let them do so. Then, when Dr. Finitevus began falling off the deep end after his failed attempt to depower Chaos Knuckles, Gala-Na voted to have him euthanized and put him in custody. This bit her in the ass when Finitevus escaped, informing Eggman of Albion's location and sabotaging their defenses to ensure they'd be unable to fend off his forces. When Knuckles becomes the latest Enerjak, Locke takes Sonic and Julie-Su to retrieve an anti-Enerjak weapon; while Sonic and Julie believed it would simply return Knuckles to normal, Locke later reveals to them that he in fact plans to use it to kill Knuckles, not once considering trying to save his son or bring him back to his senses. Julie gives him a major What the Hell, Hero? in response, and Sonic ultimately smashes the weapon himself. | |

We learn through a flashback in "The Trial Of Gefforey St. John" that Ixis Naugus was able to convince Gefforey into becoming his student by playing off of Gefforey's resentment of Overlanders (Gefforey's father was a soldier in the Great War and was killed by Overlanders during a mission). It would seem that Mobian/Overlander hatred may not be entirely gone yet. | |

| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: In issue 175, after Eggman takes his taunts a little too far, Sonic has a break in his sanity and races from somewhere near the west coast of the continent to the east coast and back, ramming directly into Eggman's battle robot, in a matter of seconds. The attack merely dents the shield because the robot was tailor-made to fight Sonic and counter his abilities. The problem is that since the fight happens in what's essentially a future version of North America, Sonic crossed hundreds of miles -nearly a thousand- in seconds. Therefore, Sonic would be going somewhere between 200,000 and half a million miles an hour- something Eggman wasn't aware that Sonic could do and obviously never factored into the robot's design. Sonic's friends destroy it. Knuckles' punches probably don't hit that hard. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Ceneca-9009's Dark and Troubled Past. She invented a de-roboticizer to help the metallic aliens of Biotex. She learned too late that the Biotexans evolved their metallic bodies as a defense against deadly microbes. Oops... | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Right before betraying the Freedom Fighters to help Robotnik again, Snively makes sure to convince Hope Kintobor to leave Knothole. Why? Because he knows Robotnik is going to attack Knothole soon and doesn't want her to get hurt. This hint of decency gets cruelly subverted later on, when he tries to convince Hope to help him conquer the world. | |

Virtual Sidekick | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) (Comic Book) / int_fff863c3 | comment |
Virtual Sidekick: NICOLE is an A.I program that slowly gained sentience over time till eventually she managed to conjure enough power to make a anthropomorphic avatar to interact with and help the Freedom Fighters. While she interacts with near all the cast, she's especially close to Sally who was there on the night she took her new hologram form for a test drive (in both the old and rebooted timelines). Sally even goes out of her way to load her mind into a computer to help Nicole fight a virus in the rebooted continuity, refusing to let NICOLE be deleted when the opinion was brought up. | |
