Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book)	comment	In 1993, video game superstar Sonic the Hedgehog scored himself a comic book series by Archie Comics, but after 24 years, a whopping 290 issues, a Soft Reboot, and constant screwings from lawyers from two different writers, the series officially ended on July 19, 2017 when SEGA formally ended its relationship with Archie Comics. Two days later, however, on July 21, IDW Publishing announced that it was far from being all over, as they had successfully obtained the license to publish a new series of Sonic the Hedgehog comics.The comic is a clean slate Continuity Reboot, and some Archie Sonic alumni have returned to work on the comic, including writer Ian Flynn, who was with the Archie series from its 160th issue until its cancellation. The storylines are divided into "seasons" roughly a year long.Initially taking place after the events of Sonic Forces, a month has passed since Dr. Eggman tried to raze the world with the power of the Phantom Ruby. But after that battle, the doctor just disappeared, leaving his Badnik army to roam the land, being more of a nuisance than anything else. Sonic is still cleaning up the mess his nemesis did to world, but then the 'bots suddenly start to perform coordinated attacks against the populace, with no signs of Eggman's involvement, meaning that he'll have to work with friends of old and new to stop this threat. However, this mystery turns out to be the prelude for a host of incoming new problems and threats for our heroes. But Sonic is never one to back down from a challenge, and he and his friends continue to fight the good fight to protect their world.It kicked off on April 4, 2018, with the first 4 issues having weekly installments in April and then monthly updates come May 2018. Thanks to its success, the series has had a few spin-off mini-series as well.Mini-Series Tangle & Whisper: During Wondercon 2019, the staff revealed the first spin-off mini-series starring the titular duo which started in the summer of the same year. The story focuses on the two as they deal with a shapeshifting villain named Mimic who seems to have ties with Whisper. This would be the third time a non-Sega character got their own mini-series within a Sonic comic (Sally had her own mini back in the 90s and Scourge received his own story arc in Sonic Universe). Bad Guys: In April 2020, another mini-series was announced, focusing on several of the villains of this comic, with the main focus on Dr. Starline, another new character created for IDW, as he leads said villains to go against Eggman while also plotting something of his own. It was released in October of that year. Flynn headed up this series while Evan Stanley took over writing duties for the main comic during so, with the two alternating beyond the mini-series' run. Imposter Syndrome: Announced in the 2021 Free Comic Book Day issue. This mini-series acts as a lead up to the "Battle for the Empire" arc. Starline begins his power play and sets his sights on bringing down Sonic and Eggman with his own creations. It would introduce two new characters to the mix, Surge the Tenrec and Kit the Fennec, and was released starting in November 2021. Scrapnik Island: Announced July 2022, this horror-themed mini-series sees Sonic and Tails trapped on a robot island and forced to battle both new foes and forgotten enemies, including the return of Mecha Knuckles from Sonic Advance and Mecha Sonic from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It is written by Daniel Barnes of The Black Mage fame and was released starting in October 2022. Fang the Hunter: Following Fang's return to the mainline games via Sonic Superstars, he was announced to have his own mini-series set in the Classic era, with the first issue releasing on January 17, 2024. This mini-series sees him, accompanied by Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear, searching for a rumored eighth Chaos Emerald in order to get rich. Fang's stubbornness however puts him at odds with his other teammates, which cause friction between all three members.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_115d318	type	And Then John Was a Zombie
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_115d318	comment	And Then John Was a Zombie: The second year of the comic kicks off the Infection arc wherein Dr. Eggman unleashes a metal virus that turns organic creatures into Zombots. After dousing Rough and Tumble, Sonic is infected and tries to run the disease off to mixed results, barely managing to stay alive by the end of it. When the outbreak hits the first named character to succumb is Charmy who tried to help a quarantined woman. As the arc progresses, Cheese, Chocola, Shadow, Vanilla, Vector, Big, Froggy, Jewel, Tangle, and Knuckles all succumb to the virus, while Cream was heavily implied to become a Zombot, but we never see her fully turn. Also, Amy, Tails, and even Eggman himself contract the virus but never fully turn into Zombots, leaving only Espio, Whisper, Silver, Rouge, and the Babylon Rogues the only ones to not be infected at all this whole arc.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_1240ff57	comment	The comics introduce a new one courtesy of Dr. Starline, the Warp Topaz - a gemstone that can manipulate space and create portals to other places. Starline loses the gemstone after being fired during the Metal Virus arc, with the gemstone's fate uncertain after Super Sonic and Super Silver use it to throw the Metal Virus into the sun. The Chaos Emeralds, Master Emerald, and Sol Emeralds make appearances as well.

The third issue also features the debut of the new villains Rough and Tumble, with Tangle the Ring-tailed Lemur and Dr. Eggman following in Issue #4, the Chaotix in Issue #5, and Shadow and Rouge in Issue #6. Issue #7 features the return of Neo Metal Sonic, and the 8th issue has both the return of Silver and the debut of another new character, Whisper the Wolf. Likewise, Cream and her family debut in Issue #18, E-123 Omega in Issue #19, and the Deadly Six in Issues #20-21.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_1462f0d7	comment	Overpowered, the Eggman's Legacy Saga's Season Finale, ends with Surge defeated, Kit forced to retreat with her in tow, Whisper's Wisps rescued, and Eggman empty-handed yet again. However, the late Dr. Starline's Villainous Legacy prevails through his creations (who refuse to change) and idol (who posthumously gave Starline the recognition he sought), much to Sonic and Tails' dejection. This example would technically be a Downer Ending if not for the heroes' Pyrrhic Victory and survival.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The Metal Virus Saga enforced this for 16 issues (#13-#29 with the virus itself in play), 17 counting the 2020 Annual special. Many of the main cast (old and new, good and bad) are turned into zombots, with Sonic fighting off the infection, the remaining characters are effected emotionally and mentally, losses are made at a global scale, almost every solution to eliminate the virus fail, and even Eggman loses control of the situation, and that's even before the Deadly Six become involved. It takes Sonic and Silver's use of the Chaos Emeralds and the Warp Topaz to end this trope.

While the Restoration is aware he's up to no good and fend him off when he attacks them, they mostly ignore his activities, considering him a minor threat compared to Eggman or the Deadly Six. Only when Surge and Kit are introduced do the heroes finally take Starline seriously, by which point it's too late to undo his Villainous Legacy.

Amy tries to save Eggman from a Zombot!Big but her hammer does nothing to him. However, Eggman uses the opportunity to kick her into Big and try and flee via a shuttle. He doesn't get far, as he slips on a likewise Zombot!Froggy and gets the virus on him anyway.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Issue #17 starts with the Chaotix being informed of the Metal Virus. While they heed the warning, Vector assures Charmy it shouldn't be coming through their door anytime soon. Not a second later, the door is kicked in and Zombots start coming into their office. The trio make their way outside only to see Eggman attacking the city with the virus. In Issue #23, after losing the data for a Metal Virus cure and hearing about the concurrent mishaps on his friends' side, Sonic tiredly remarks that at least things can't get any worse—which, in the next two issues, they do. At the end of Issue #31, Tangle tells Whisper she doesn't want more fighting in her hometown so soon after the Zombot Apocalypse. Eggman shows up a moment later to crash the heroes' victory celebration. In Issue #50, Starline, having taken over the Eggman Empire and lured Sonic, Tails, and Belle into a trap, gloats about his success and that he can soon rule with Eggman at his side. In the next instant, a vengeful Eggman appears in the Egg Emperor, ready to take his treacherous Fanboy down.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_1645005b	comment	Evil Versus Evil: The main point of the series. Starline is still a bit bitter about being "fired" from Eggman's employ and is cooking up a new plan involving some creations of his own, but lacks the necessary materials to make them and his access to other Eggman bases has been revoked. As such, he's forced to break out and ally with a few other former Eggman subordinates (Zavok, the Skunk Brothers and Mimic) to get what he needs which will no doubt cause the group to come into contact with Dr. Eggman. While Starline hopes to curry back favor with Eggman, Zavok has his own agenda. So there's an internal conflict in the group as well. By the end of the mini-series, Starline has abandoned his plan to win back Eggman's favor, and is now an outright rival to him.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: While overall faithful to the sci-fi action-adventure tone of the games, the comic takes a sharp turn into horror several times. The Metal Virus Saga and Scrapnik Island mini-series are both Episodes of the Dead, with the former arc amounting to "Resident Evil with Sonic characters". Surge and Kit's character arc, meanwhile, is an Existential Horror story peppered with Frankenstein references, most notably in how the duo themselves came to be.

Mecha Sonic Mark II is thus far the only erstwhile foe Sonic has managed to reform, and even he had to first be reprogrammed before starting down that path.

Knuckles believes it can't, based on a hunch and his own connection to the gemstone, but the group decides the situation is too dangerous to risk it. Eggman abstains from exploring the powers of Starline's Warp Topaz for this reason; after his last plan, he's had his fill of "strange new magic stones".

Sonic is able to resist it by running, but it mutates to bypass that defense and, eventually, to the point where even Eggman loses control of it. Because the Metal Virus cannot convert inorganic matter (metal, stone, processed wood, etc.), robotic characters such as Metal Sonic and Gemerl are immune to it.

The reason Eggman used a phantom of Metal Sonic instead of the real deal is due to Metal receiving upgrades, but when he was finished, the war was over.

All but the end of the Trial By Fire arc takes place within a day and a half. Issues #49-52, plus the last issue of Imposter Syndrome, happen almost entirely in one night; Issues of #53-56 immediately pick up from there and take place over the course of the following day. Issues #57-61 (barring the flashback in #57 and the picnic scene at the end of #61) plays out over the course of a few hours, making Urban Warfare one of the comic's shortest arcs In-Universe.

After his speed loses its ability to counteract the virus, Sonic can no longer fight the Zombots with turning too fast, so he keeps his distance until the final battle with them and Zavok.

Invoked by Eggman against Starline during their climactic showdown. It works, as Starline's Humiliation Conga during the fight breaks his spirit and leads to his doom. Issue #56 is a real ego-bruiser for Sonic and Tails, what with Surge and Kit's Redemption Rejection, yet another double-cross on Eggman's part, and Starline posthumously getting the last laugh on all of them.

However, Eggman smugly declares he is who he is and that's just the way he likes it, before making a Kick the Dog speech. With that, Sonic gives up and bitterly concedes to this trope, telling his two main nemeses they'll go back to being enemies once the Metal Virus is no more; Eggman reponds that they never stopped being enemies in the first place. Later, after Eggman's defeat in Issue #32, Sonic laments they'll keep fighting for a long time and hopes, in vain, that the doctor will come around someday.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_34dcfc96	comment	Kick the Dog: Every villain in Sonic's Rogues Gallery loves doing this. Where does Eggman conduct a mass test of the Metal Virus? The same village that took him in as the amnesiac Mr. Tinker. Eggman specifically targets Vanilla and Cream's hometown just to hurt Sonic by way of hurting his friends. In Issue #26, while Sonic is trying to burn off the infection on a treadmill, Eggman and he get to talking with Eggman claiming Sonic spread most of the infection to the grass and trees during all his running around. Sonic doesn't believe it, but Eggman neither denies or refutes that claim, stating he purposefully put the thought into his mind. Considering Sonic's current state at that point, Sonic can't doubt it either, much to his annoyance. Zeena figuratively and literally does this to Cream during their fight in Issue #27. Gemerl is not happy, and punishes the Zeti near the end as a result. While his fellow Zeti just take control of random Zombots, Zavok picks out all of Sonic's Zombot-ified friends to be his personal horde's vanguard. In Issues #28-29, he sends eight of them—Shadow, Tangle, Vector, Charmy, Big, Cheese, Chocola, and Froggy—to face the Sonic and the other survivors on Angel Island. The infected and healthy heroes do battle, and the danger of infection aside, it pains the survivors to fight their loved ones. Zavok's dialogue in Issue #28 implies this was precisely what he was going for: forcing Sonic to face his turned friends just to add to the blue blur's misery.

The Metal Virus Saga's climax in Issue #29 pits a 99%-infected Sonic and seven of his allies, along with Eggman and Metal Sonic, against a giant Zavok and the heroes who got Zombot-ified. What ensues is a nail-biting, down-to-the-wire Last Stand which culminates in Sonic and Silver going Super, defeating Zavok, and eradicating the Metal Virus once and for all. The third saga's climax is Issue #50's "Battle for the Empire", which consists of three simultaneous duels: Sonic vs. Surge, Tails vs. Kit, and Eggman vs. Starline. In the end, Sonic, Tails, and Eggman triumph over their inexperienced imposters.

On the other hand, Froggy has been infected and turned into a Zombot, with Big not far behind in joining him. All or Nothing, the climax of the Metal Virus Saga, ends with the Metal Virus having been destroyed, the Deadly Six defeated, and everyone restored to normal. But the world is still in tatters after the whole ordeal, and Sonic has gone missing after the Warp Topaz overloaded from Chaos energy and blew up. Test Run and Zeti Hunt end with the heroes victorious, but Belle heartbroken as it's revealed her creator was Eggman's amnesiac self, "Mr. Tinker"—a side of him she concedes is gone forever. The finale to Zeti Hunt also has Starline getting what he wanted out of Belle and escaping before the Chaotix can arrest him. Overpowered, the Eggman's Legacy Saga's Season Finale, ends with Surge defeated, Kit forced to retreat with her in tow, Whisper's Wisps rescued, and Eggman empty-handed yet again. However, the late Dr. Starline's Villainous Legacy prevails through his creations (who refuse to change) and idol (who posthumously gave Starline the recognition he sought), much to Sonic and Tails' dejection. This example would technically be a Downer Ending if not for the heroes' Pyrrhic Victory and survival.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_4b316d47	type	Break the Cutie
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_4b316d47	comment	Break the Cutie: Cream gets a hard dose of this trope during the Metal Virus Saga, with the Zombot plague claiming her two Chao and her own mother right before her eyes. To top it off, she herself gets infected after a physically-abusive scuffle with Zeena. The fact that she's only six years old doesn't help matters one bit. Whisper is The Quiet One as a direct result of this trope. She was once a cheerful and plain-spoken girl, but when Eggman and Mimic wiped out her old team, the Diamond Cutters, she was traumatized for life. She suffers this a second time when Tangle is turned into a Zombot by the Metal Virus and subsequently enslaved by Zavok, who then adds to Whisper's misery by pitting the girls against each other. While Tails loses less to the Metal Virus than Cream, Whisper, Espio, or Rouge do, being screwed out of making a cure hits his confidence hard. By the final battle with Zavok and the Zombots, Tails is barely holding himself together, and when he himself gets infected by Cheese and Chocola, the poor kid is reduced to tearfully begging for his life. Belle suffers this trope in Issues #40 and #44, as Eggman and Starline dash her hopes of ever seeing the former's "Mr. Tinker" persona—under which he created her—again, with both men shamelessly rubbing her tragic past in her face. While Tangle consoles Belle in the first instance, the second breaks her altogether. Kit is strongly implied to have been a happier kid until Starline and Surge's abuse scarred his psyche. Although Sonic and Tails try to help him recover, his mental/emotional state keeps cracking until he finally goes off the deep end in Issue #56, becoming as disillusioned and hostile as Surge herself.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_4cb71cf9	comment	Orbot reveals to Dr. Starline that this is one of the main reasons Eggman always loses: he has big ideas and big executions but often rushes things without thinking long-term and devolves into his hatred of Sonic, which costs him every time. No better is this displayed than in the Metal Virus. While Starline wanted to conduct more tests to realize the extent of its capabilities, Eggman decides to use it the moment it appears to work, reasoning that he can fix any bugs later as they crop up. This leads to the Zombots slowly getting out of control, to the point they begin to disregard Eggman's vocal commands.

Issue #51 ends with Belle, Tails, and a crippled Sonic trapped deep in Eggperial City with Kit (whom they saved after his fight with Tails). Eggman, on the other hand, is back in charge and stronger than ever after Starline's death, while Surge survives to fight another day.

Rouge uses the rumors of a curse upon the base to scare the brothers away in order to protect some animals that have taken refuge within the base and is rewarded with the treasures she was seeking. Issue #25 reveals that Rouge had infiltrated Eggman's ship and discovered he was using the Chaos Emeralds to power it. Rouge planned on stealing the Emeralds herself before the Deadly Six arrived and took them after gaining control of the ship from Eggman and Starline. Rough and Tumble's story in the 2022 Annual has them deciding to pursue their criminal careers independent of each other after an argument. Unfortunately, they decide to break into the Mineral Museum with their respective new partners, Tangle and Rouge (who are each only pretending to work with one of the brothers to take them down), to steal a Chaos Emerald on the exact same night.

For all their Plot Armor, we are reminded more than once that Sonic and his friends are still mortal and vulnerable, with Sonic exhausting himself almost to death during the Metal Virus Saga being only one example among many. Their movesets rely heavily on certain limbs or items (Sonic's legs, Tails' and Tangle's tails, Amy's hammer, Whisper's gun, etc.), without which they are still combat-capable, but much weaker. Furthermore, while they can't outright lose to Eggman's machinations, they are not immune from scoring a Pyrrhic Victory, which in-universe is treated as a defeat.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_560a978f	type	Amnesiacs are Innocent
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_560a978f	comment	Sonic comes to blows with his allies during the Metal Virus arc over his decision to spare Eggman in his amnesiac state as Mr. Tinker so he can start over and have a second chance at life... which backfires when Eggman regains his memory and goes right back to his evil ways, leading directly to the Metal Virus outbreak. Both sides bring up valid points: Sonic maintains that sparing Eggman was the right thing to do; at least it gave him a chance to do some good for once, even if he wasn't in his right mind. He also insists that nobody could have foreseen someone like Dr. Starline going out of his way to find him and restore his memories, and throws Shadow's own logic back in his face by pointing out Shadow also tried to destroy the world while amnesiac, and if he got a second chance and was forgiven, then there's no reason Eggman shouldn't be given the same courtesy. Shadow and Espio, however, are also correct in their points, both of them wanting Eggman arrested or eliminated at his most vulnerable because, well, let's face it: the doctor is a lunatic. Shadow also points out from his own experiences that just because one loses their memory doesn't make them any less dangerous. One would think Sonic would get the hint based on all of the atrocities Eggman has committed prior to the Metal Virus... but instead, he just accuses them of automatically "assuming the worst about everyone and everything". As things go From Bad to Worse, however, Sonic acknowledges that both of them were right and the entire mess is his fault.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_5989e3b6	comment	The Metal Virus survivors' plan in "All or Nothing" is chalk-loaded with risks—especially Sonic and co.'s Enemy Mine with Eggman and Metal Sonic—but as Cream points out to Whisper, it's all worthwhile if it means restoring their Zombot-ified loved ones to normal and saving the world. Even Whisper (who hates Eggman even more than Cream claims to know) can't deny that logic. Another significant risk, as noted by Starline, is the Warp Topaz overloading from exposure to the Chaos Emeralds' power, with catastrophic results. The other survivors disregard his warnings, but Super Sonic and Super Silver eventually find out Starline was right when they notice the Warp Topaz overreacting to their powers. Since they're out of time and options, they carry on, destroying the Metal Virus, but thereafter the Warp Topaz explodes from the overload. The results aren't as bad as Starline feared, but Sonic vanishes without a trace.

The Resistance, who disbanded after the events of the war against Eggman, have regrouped due to both realizing restoration efforts are going to take much longer than expected and that some of Eggman's Badniks are still running amok and causing chaos. Each minor Story Arc is separated by one of these, with the elapsed time ranging from days to weeks. The transition from "The Last Minute" and "All or Nothing" is arguably an exception, as the Restoration's flight from Spiral Hill Village to Angel Island couldn't have taken more than a few hours.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_60414102	comment	Zombie Apocalypse: The second major story arc of the book involves Eggman starting one through a Metal Virus he created to be spread through the touch of others and become his slaves, with Sonic even calling them "Zombots" (a name which Eggman even approves of). Of course, since he rushed production of said virus, that doesn't bode well for how long he can control it, and even worse, he never cared to make a cure; this comes back to haunt Eggman when the Zeti usurp control of the Zombots. Meanwhile, Sonic and the other survivors repeatedly try and fail to manage the crisis as the virus picks them off one by one, driving the survivors to the Despair Event Horizon. In the end, only eleven organic charactersnote Silver, Rouge, Espio, Whisper, Blaze, Zavok, Zazz, Starline, and the Babylon Rogues, plus The Immune robotic characters, avoid infection altogether. Interestingly, the term "Zombot Apocalypse" is only used twice in-universe (first by Vector in the 2020 Annual, and then by Knuckles in Issue #30).

Meanwhile, Shadow wants Eggman dead, and attacks Sonic when he jumps in to protect Mr. Tinker. Eventually, the group decides to let Mr. Tinker go. This comes to bite Sonic later when Dr. Eggman regains his memories and unleashes the Metal Virus. Vector, Espio, and Shadow all call Sonic out for his misplaced mercy.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: How most of the Metal Virus' named heroic victims are eliminated, though as mandated by Sega, all examples of this trope in the comic are non-fatal. Cheese and Chocola defend Cream and Vanilla from a Zombot, stalling it just long enough for Sonic to come to the rescue. Vector and Tangle each put up a Last Stand to cover the Restoration's retreat. Cream voluntarily drops out after getting infected, not wanting to pose a risk to her remaining friends once she succumbs. After the Babylon Rogues defeat Master Zik, Jet finds out Wave and Storm lost their Extreme Gear to the Zombots. While he could've escaped, since his own airboard is still working, Jet maroons himself on purpose to stay with his teammates, sending only his airboard back with Zik's Chaos Emerald. The trio ultimately avoid getting infected, but Jet's act still counts as this trope. During the final battle, Knuckles takes on Zombot!Shadow, condemning himself to the same fate in the process, to help buy Sonic and Silver time to defeat Zavok and destroy the Metal Virus.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_72856b70	comment	Godzilla Threshold: Blaze notes that using all the Sol Emeralds to enter her Super Mode is extremely risky, but decides that liberating Angel Island is worth that risk. The Metal Virus survivors' plan in "All or Nothing" is chalk-loaded with risks—especially Sonic and co.'s Enemy Mine with Eggman and Metal Sonic—but as Cream points out to Whisper, it's all worthwhile if it means restoring their Zombot-ified loved ones to normal and saving the world. Even Whisper (who hates Eggman even more than Cream claims to know) can't deny that logic. Another significant risk, as noted by Starline, is the Warp Topaz overloading from exposure to the Chaos Emeralds' power, with catastrophic results. The other survivors disregard his warnings, but Super Sonic and Super Silver eventually find out Starline was right when they notice the Warp Topaz overreacting to their powers. Since they're out of time and options, they carry on, destroying the Metal Virus, but thereafter the Warp Topaz explodes from the overload. The results aren't as bad as Starline feared, but Sonic vanishes without a trace.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_813e694d	comment	Continuity Cavalcade: Used to help establish the comic's connection with the games, especially in the first two arcs when the continuity was still rather fresh. Issue #1's first page shows Sonic's battles against the Egg Viper, Egg Emperor, Egg Dragoon, and Mega Death Egg Robot. Issue #5 has Sonic mentioning and recapping past actions of Eggman while mulling over how to deal with his supposedly amnesiac state. This includes Eggman attacking Sonic in the Egg Viper, blowing up parts of the moon as a show of the Ark's power, fighting Sonic with the Time Eater and splitting the planet apart in trying to awaken Dark Gaia. In the same Issue, Sonic tries to catch Eggman in the act by mentioning the Lost Hex, ARK, and Death Egg. Imposter Syndrome Issue #4, features Eggman's unfinished "memorial garage", filled with retired Humongous Mecha from previous games. Among the machines shown are the Super Egg Robot, the Egg Emperor, the Eggrobo, and the Egg Dragoon. Issue #51 features dozens of Badnik models from previous games, Sonic himself even points out "he hasn't bashed some of these models in a while." Issue #63 features Sonic and Blaze visiting a variety of locations from the games, which include a mix of classic and modern places like Mirage Saloon from Sonic Mania, Station Square from the Adventure duology, along with Holoska and Spagonia from Sonic Unleashed. Issue #64's Cover A features Silver in front of a conspiracy board filled with pictures, with each photo derived from a past panel seen from previous issues across the entire series' run up to that point. The entire list of panels can be found here. The 900th Adventure one-shot special features tons of locations from the Sonic games that the blue blur and his friends race through via the Warp Topaz.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_81a61a4a	comment	Discontinuity Nod: Sonic the Fighters had eight stages/opponents for the player to fight through, who were all guarding a Chaos Emerald. All of the emeralds were required in order to power Tails' one-seater rocket. The number of Chaos Emeralds and their colors would then become consistent after Sonic Adventure. This comic nods to this inconsistency by having Fang searching for the "rumored" eighth emerald from Fighters, with Sonic himself even saying they're chasing a fairy tale as there are only seven.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_83641c73	comment	Logical Weakness: Along with his inability to swim, Sonic can lose his speed if one or both of his legs is injured. Tangle needs ample space to use her powers properly, so her Claustrophobia adds up. Furthermore, her tail can be used against her if grabbed; Mimic and Zavok exploit this to knock her out. Whisper is first and foremost a sniper and so relies on her mask scope and her Wispon. Without either, she's still a tough melee combatant, but still weaker than normal. She can also be electrocuted if her gadgets are shorted out. As Belle's casing is all wooden, she's constantly at risk of being burned to the bone (or metal endoskeleton, in her case). Appropriately, she's very afraid of fire. Metal Sonic and Kit are both vulnerable to electric shocks, the former being a robot and the latter a hydromancer. Kit's backpack is also a glaring weakpoint, as running it dry or disabling it renders him powerless.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_8905df55	comment	Armed Females, Unarmed Males: Like in the games, Amy fights with a hammer, while Sonic, Shadow, and Silver have powers that don't require them to use weapons. Among Team Dark, Shadow has his chaos powers and doesn't use weapons, Omega is a robot and all his weapons are a part of his body, and Rouge uses grenades as well as kicks. Issue #8 has Sonic teaming up with Silver the Hedgehog and Whisper the Wolf. Sonic and Silver are both male and possess Super-Speed and Telekinesis, respectively. Whisper uses a Wisp-powered rifle. Cream, Tangle, Zeena, and Surge are examples of female characters whose powers don't require them to be armed. Likewise, Eggman and Clutch are two male characters who can't fight unarmed, where they both use a Ray Gun and shotgun respectively. Kit, meanwhile, requires his backpack to use his hydrokinesis, and if it runs dry, he has to pause to recharge it, leaving himself open. Lanolin, the leader of the newly formed Diamond Cutters, fights using a Magenta Wisp that can be used in tandem with her bell-shaped Wispon to fire off powerful sound waves.

They are instead "programmed" to act like zombies while encased in a super contagious liquid metal coating, forcing them to infect anyone around them. Compared to classic Zombies, who bite other victims, Zombots only need to touch someone for the infection to spread, making them far more dangerous. To make matters worse, the infection accelerates when fighting another Zombot while infected.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_8d0785d5	comment	Didn't Think This Through: In Issue 18: Sonic comes across two villagers who opt to burn down the forest around Cream's village to prevent the Metal Virus from spreading. Sonic furiously calls them out on this, pointing out that though it'll stop them from getting infected and prevent the virus from spreading, they'll just get consumed by the forest fire instead; the villagers in question can only stammer in response, having failed to consider that. Orbot reveals to Dr. Starline that this is one of the main reasons Eggman always loses: he has big ideas and big executions but often rushes things without thinking long-term and devolves into his hatred of Sonic, which costs him every time. No better is this displayed than in the Metal Virus. While Starline wanted to conduct more tests to realize the extent of its capabilities, Eggman decides to use it the moment it appears to work, reasoning that he can fix any bugs later as they crop up. This leads to the Zombots slowly getting out of control, to the point they begin to disregard Eggman's vocal commands. Dr. Starline himself falls into this when he gets sick of Eggman's shortsightedness regarding the Metal Virus and elects to take matters into his own hands. Starline's solution is to bring in the Deadly Six to control the Zombots, using the Cacophonous Conch to keep them under his control. However, Starline finds out too late that the conch only works as long as his lungs last, effectively making it useless once he needs to catch his breath, and he didn't have a backup plan in the event he lost it; the minute he lets his guard down, the Deadly Six snatch the conch right out of his hands and hijack the Zombots for their own purposes. With Starline failing to consider these factors, Starline ends up making the situation even worse, to which Zavok even lampshades. In Issue 26: Apparently no one thought that sending Gemerl (a robot) up against a Zeti (who can control machines) was a bad idea. Likewise Cream's insistence on coming and jumping into the portal against his wishes ended up putting her in danger as she didn't have much of a plan other than trying to shame Zeena into giving up.

Issues 26-28 (during the All or Nothing Arc) has Sonic's friends travel to separate parts of the world to take 5 Chaos Emeralds back from five of the Deadly Six at the same time. Justified as they had to prevent them from warning each other. Near the end of 28, everyone makes it back with 5 of the Emeralds. Well, almost everyoneâ€¦ note Cream the Rabbit is infected by the virus, so Gemerl sends the Chaos Emerald to the portal of the rendezvous point, choosing to stay with Cream until the crisis is over. Jet the Hawk does the same to stay with his fellow Babylon Rogues in a Last Stand against a Zombot horde. Issues 45-49 (the Trial By Fire Arc, including standalone episodes Hit the Pavement and Wound Up) occur parallel to the Imposter Syndrome mini-series before both subplots merge in Issue #50.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Issue #7: We find out the "Eggman" who's been running things is really Metal Sonic, upgraded to his "Neo Metal Sonic" form from Sonic Heroes. Issue #12: The real Eggman regains his memories after seeing the damaged Metal Sonic and goes right back to villainy. The Metal Virus Saga is basically made of these: In Issue #15, The villainous skunk brothers Rough and Tumble are used as subjects for a field test of the Metal Virus, and while Sonic and Amy manage to defeat them, Sonic ends up infected with the virus as a result. Issue #16: The village that took Eggman in as an amnesiac is chosen as ground zero for the start of the Metal Virus plague. Meanwhile, Sonic learns that running can keep his infection at bay, but not cure it. In "Crisis City", Eggman attacks several towns and cities with the Metal Virus. While the Chaotix evacuate their city, Charmy ends up infected trying to save a civilian who got some of the virus on her. Cream's village is hit next, and while Vanilla and she manage to escape, Cheese and Chocola are infected protecting them and break out of the jars Sonic tried to ground them in. Then, Shadow gets infected when he refuses to listen to the advice of his comrades and fights barehanded against the Zombots. Omega's body is destroyed while trying to fight against the newly Zombot-ified Shadow, Tails barely managing to grab his head that houses his CPU so he isn't completely demolished and can be rebuilt later. At the same time Starline finds out about the Zeti and their robot controlling powers, hitting upon an idea to use them to control the Zombots. In Issue #22: Restoration HQ falls when a Zombie Infectee gets into the base and fully changes, with Vanilla and Vector getting infected in the ensuing chaos. Issue #24: This issue is Despair Event Horizon personified. The remainder of Amy's team are all emotionally drained with each shred of hope leaving them (Restoration HQ, Tails' lab, and the data reader needed to find a cure to the Metal Virus all having been lost). Cream is completely devoid of her optimism due to losing Cheese, Chocola, and her mom. Espio blames the loss of his team on Sonic due to letting Eggman run free (during his "Mr. Tinker" phase). Sonic is especially tired after a combination of endless running and only being able to sleep for a few minutes at a time, and he slowly loses his ability to drive back the virus affecting him, as informed by Gemerl. Whisper is distraught after learning Tangle is infected and staying behind to help them all escape. And to top it all off, the issue ends with a Wham Shot of Starline finally enacting his Deadly Six plan. Issue #25, true to its story title, marks "a sudden shift" indeed. After Starline's attempt to control them backfires, the Zeti take over Eggman's plans, steal the Chaos Emeralds, and set out to conquer and terrorize the world. Eggman and Metal Sonic, forced to team up with the remaining heroes and the Babylon Rogues, fire Starline and confiscate the Warp Topaz. Meanwhile, Zavok commandeers the Faceship and enslaves Sonic's Zombot-ified allies to hunt down the survivors. Issue #27: Zeena has the upper hand as she easily controls Gemerl, leaving Cream to rescue him. Even after beating Zeena and getting the Chaos Emerald, Cream ends up infected, forcing Gemerl to send the gem to their allies and keep her company. It's unknown if she fully became a Zombot anytime before the end of the saga. Issue #28: The heroes have successfully recovered the Chaos Emeralds, but then the issue ends with a Wham Shot cliffhanger as Zavok attacks Angel Island with the Zombot forms of most of their friends and loved ones. Issue #29: Knuckles becomes a Zombot, while Tails, Amy, Eggman, and Sonic almost the same fate before the latter and Silver get the last Chaos Emerald and go Super. Super Sonic and Super Silver manage to use the Chaos Emeralds and Warp Topaz to destroy the Metal Virus for good, but the Topaz overloads and explodes, with Sonic disappearing afterwards. Issue #30: Zavok recovers from his defeat, with it being revealed that the other Zeti have likewise recovered from the Metal Virus and escaped. Meanwhile, Eggman and his minions escape, with Metal Sonic stabbing Gemerl through the chest in the process; Orbot and Cubot also manage to steal Omega's head in the process, with Eggman planning to make use of it. And in the final scene, it's revealed that a banged up Sonic crash-landed in Blaze's dimension. Issue #31 The good news? Sonic is already back up on his feet again in the Sol Dimension. The bad news? His mind has been warped and has lost his memories. Meanwhile, Starline now plans to regain Eggman's respect by conquering the world himself then making the both of them work together, and Eggman takes Omega and integrates him into a giant mech which he then uses to assault the heroes during Tangleâ€™s celebration party. Issue #35: Clutch recovers from being knocked out by Shadow and escapes, though not before siccing his Badnik collection on Amy, Cream, Cheese, Gemerl, and Belle. Meanwhile, Starline kidnaps Rouge and Tails and triggers an avalanche, forcing Sonic and Shadow to choose between saving their friends or the people of White Park Chateau. Issue #40: Eggman almost kills Sonic, Tails, and Amy before Tangle comes to their rescue, and it turns out he created Belle while under his Mr. Tinker persona. Issue #44: The good news? The Zeti are sent back to the Lost Hex in defeat. The bad news? Starline, who kidnapped Belle for research, gets what he wanted out of her and escapes, also preventing the heroes from finding out about his broader schemes. Issue #50: Starline's "Operation: Remaster" fails miserably and he himself is killed, while Surge goes missing and Kit, unconscious, is salvaged by the heroes.

Surge and Kitsunami introduce themselves by starting a massive forest fire, Clutch the Opossum cleans up the messes left behind by Eggman, though amasses his own collection of weapons that consist of dangerous materials so he can sell them back to Eggman or anyone looking to buy.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_90e31482	type	Laser-Guided Karma
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_90e31482	comment	Laser-Guided Karma: In Issue #25, Eggman confiscates the Warp Topaz from Starline, fires him, and has Metal Sonic throw him off Angel Island to parts unknown via Starline's own portal. It serves him right, since him restoring Eggman to villainy was the catalyst for the Zombot Apocalypse, and by getting the Zeti involved, he made things worse than ever for heroes and villains alike. The Zeti gleefully use the Chaos Emeralds to take control of the Zombots and use them to attack people. So it's fitting that when the heroes steal the Emeralds back from them, they're left to be infected by the Zombots that are now free of their control. In Issue #29, Eggman shoves Amy into a Zombot Big, infecting her, and tries to escape in the Restoration airship. Just seconds later, Eggman trips on an also-Zombot Froggy and contracts his own Metal Virus. In Issue #31, Tails and Tangle rescue Rough and Tumble from the mining pit they were trapped in as Zombots. The skunk brothers laugh off the heroes' offer of redemption and run off to cause more trouble, only to immediately get lost in the mines. Later, in the Bad Guys mini-series, Starline finds Rough and Tumble back in jail. As it turns out, the duo returned to the same town they took over earlier in the series, but this time, the townspeople were ready for them. Rough openly admits it was a bad idea. At the climax of Chao Races and Badnik Bases, Starline triggers an avalanche in White Park to distract Sonic and Shadow while he makes off with a kidnapped Tails and Rouge. In the end, only Starline himself gets hurt by said avalanche.

Silver briefly joined an Original Generation team, but was kicked out by the end of the arc and teamed-up with his game ally Blaze instead, and none can die. Original Generation characters, on the other hand, are far less restricted.

They're useful to complete his plan, but Zavok is too dangerous to keep around, while Mimic and the Skunk Brothers pose potentially dangerous loose ends if let go. This gets turned on him in the third issue as Zavok's no fool, and Mimic, already not trusting him, hacks into Starline's computer and finds the video log of Starline admitting it. Once the group raid the Eggnet base, Mimic and Zavok make their move and get the Skunk Bros. on their side by revealing Starline's treachery. At the end of the issue, Zavok quotes the trope name itself, as Starline is dead-to-rights in the eyes of his former allies.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2	comment	Villainous Breakdown: Neo Metal Sonic has one as Master Overlord in Issue #11. First he gets Drunk on the Dark Side, and then Sonic presses his Berserk Button before the Resistance attacks and drives him completely nuts. Zeena has a short, but significant one in Issue #27, near the end of her fight with Cream and Gemerl. Zavok loses it in Issue #28 after Rouge crashes the Faceship, going One-Winged Angel and barraging Angel Island with fireballs and handfuls Zombots (including Sonic's infected friends). Eggman has a brief one in Issue #32 when Sonic returns and disables his Humongous Mecha, allowing Omega to destroy it. When Sonic skips the formalities thereafter, Eggman's initial fury turns to fear and he retreats, opting to settle for crashing the heroes' party rather than push his luck. In Issue #50, Starline comes down hard after Eggman thoroughly shreds his "Operation: Remaster" scheme. Granted, he had shown signs of this trope well prior, even before his falling-out with Eggman over the Metal Virus incident. Eggman has one of these in Issue #61 after losing all his advantages and realizing he's finally pushed Sonic too far. His Last Villain Stand fails, making him resort to begging for mercy (to no avail).

The fact that they have all gathered around Angel Island, formerly infected/"Zombot-ified" or otherwise, certainly helps. As the Restoration, Chaotix, Team Dark, Cheese, Chocola, and Big celebrate on the island's surface, Cream and Gemerl arrive on the beach below just in time to reunite with Vanilla. In Issue #32, after Blaze sends Sonic back to his dimension and he chases Eggman off, almost all of his friends rush him in a huge Group Hug to welcome him home. Issue #41 has a villainous example where the Deadly Six reunite after not seeing each other since Issue #25.

In Issue #29, Whisper tearfully hesitates to fight back against a Zombot Tangle, leaving herself open to attack. Fortunately, Tangle is cured before she can pass her infection to Whisper. Amy and Jewel at the beginning of Issue #32, when Eggman comes to crash the heroes' party. Whisper defers to them for orders, but Amy is indecisive since she handed leadership of the Restoration over to Jewel, who cowers and points out her forte is organization managment, not combat leadership. Command ends up falling to Vector during the battle. Eggman himself suffers the trope in the same issue when Sonic returns from the Sol Dimension and lands in front of him—much sooner than he anticipated. Eggman is so horrified that he freezes dead in his tracks and drops his guard, making no attempt to attack the heroes further or even defend himself when Sonic moves to free Omega from his machine, disabling it. Belle freezes in Issue #38 when she falls down in front of an Egg Pawn squad, and again in Issue #45 when a random Motobug gives her a Jump Scare. In Imposter Syndrome #3, one of Dr. Starline's vlogs shows Kit frozen in fear during his and Surge's Training from Hell.

If a silhouetted villain's mouth is visible, a Nightmare Face often results. All of Sonic's friends who become Zombots appear this way at the end of Issue #25 and early in Issue #29. This includes Knuckles after he gets infected in the latter issue. Zavok is silhouetted on Issue #29's B-Cover. He is also shown looming over Cream in this manner in Issue #30, and again over Zazz in Issue #41. Eggman, and the Humongous Mecha he intergrated Omega into, are presented in this manner at the end of Issue #31, with all but the mech's claws being draped in shadow. Doubles as The Darkness Gazes Back. One panel in Issue #42 has Starline in silhouette as he approaches Belle. Surge and Kit briefly appear in silhouette near Belle in Issue #46. As said issue was released before Kit and Surge properly debuted in the Imposter Syndrome mini-series, this example marks their first on-page appearances in the comic.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_99e14f05	comment	All-Loving Hero: Sonic's Thou Shall Not Kill aspect gets put through the ringer multiple times, with many people accusing him that his inability to just take care of Eggman permanently is what causes the Vicious Cycle he and Eggman are seemingly trapped in, which leads to more and more innocent bystanders getting hurt in the process. Espio personally blames Sonic for the Metal Virus arc even happening in the first place, and Surge blames him as the root cause of her ending up like she has, saying if he had just offed Eggman, Starline would have never done what he did to her. Based on his initial encounters with Knuckles, Shadow, and the like, Sonic thinks Defeat Means Friendship, but much to his disappointment, this is often not the case: Eggman decides he prefers his loftier ambitions to living in peace; Metal Sonic goes straight back to Eggman upon being fixed and restores him to normal; Surge angrily rejects Sonic's sympathic overtures; and Kit concludes that Sonic wants to reform his enemies only to prove his own point, just like Eggman and Starline. Mecha Sonic Mark II is thus far the only erstwhile foe Sonic has managed to reform, and even he had to first be reprogrammed before starting down that path. Furthermore, despite his morals and princles, Sonic's sense of forgiveness does have its limits. It's best shown by how he coldly brushes off Starline's firing, as well as his death when told about it—and that's even before he learns what Starline did to Surge and Kit.

The comic makes a point of showing what such abusive conditioning can do to people's psyches: rather than the Superior Successors Starline meant them to be, Surge's Irrational Hatred of Sonic (which even she doesn't understand), Kit's slavish devotion to her, and the inexperience of both degrade their combat performance while Starline's cruel experiments and gaslighting break the duo down mentally and emotionally.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_a6e8221e	comment	Status Quo Is God: Per mandates imposed by Sega, none of the game characters can have character development unless approved, and SEGA Characters cannot be changed in any way unless approved, so don't expect any major or long-lasting shakeups in the series. Admit it, from the moment you saw Mr. Tinker, you knew that he would go back to being Eggman again before the first year wrapped up. Though, it's still quite impressive SEGA even let it last for a year at ALL, given how strict they are on this comic. It certainly lasted longer than Sonic's amnesia, which came and went in the span of two issues. Discussed in Issue #26. Sonic calls Eggman and Metal Sonic out on their Redemption Rejection and reminds Eggman of the good he could do as Mr. Tinker. However, Eggman smugly declares he is who he is and that's just the way he likes it, before making a Kick the Dog speech. With that, Sonic gives up and bitterly concedes to this trope, telling his two main nemeses they'll go back to being enemies once the Metal Virus is no more; Eggman reponds that they never stopped being enemies in the first place. Later, after Eggman's defeat in Issue #32, Sonic laments they'll keep fighting for a long time and hopes, in vain, that the doctor will come around someday.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_a74d419a	comment	Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: Downplayed with the Metal Virus. Eggman does spend a few issues testing its limits but Starline feels that he ended up pushing the project out too quickly with only a basic amount of data gathered on it. So of course, problems soon start occurring, with Eggman's control over the Zombots starts slipping, and he doesn't seem to care as long as it affects Sonic. The worst part, he never bothered to produce a cure in the off-chance he ends up infected himself. His attitude changes when Starline entrusts the Deadly Six to deal with the crisis.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_abd29ad8	comment	No-Sell: Subverted with the Zombots. They're basically indestructible and some characters who get infected (especially Big) take no damage whatsoever, but they'll all crumble to dust within two centuries, as described by Eggman and Silver. Likewise, robotic characters are immune to the Metal Virus, which cannot convert inorganic matter. However, Zavok (while in his giant form) is able to grab whole handfuls of Zombots without getting infected. In All or Nothing, Amy is matched against Zomom and later a Zombot Big, both of whom defeat her hammer attacks using Kevlard. Her classic self gets the same results while hammering at Bark the Polar Bear in the 30th Anniversary Special. In Issue #28, Zazz shrugs off a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Espio, Zavok having given him worse before. Much to Zazz' fury, Espio makes off with his Chaos Emerald anyhow. Mighty in the 30th Anniversary Special no-sells Fang's cork gun, a claw-swipe from Metal Sonic, and an energy blast from Heavy King using his shell. In Issue #50, Eggman more or less brushes off everything Starline throws at him, all without breaking a sweat.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_aed65980	type	All for Nothing
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_aed65980	comment	All for Nothing: All of Dr. Starline's efforts throughout the series—from restoring Eggman to normal, to trying to salvage the Metal Virus, to Surge and Kit's creation, to trying to conquer the world and regain Eggman's respect—ultimately come to naught, culminating in his Undignified Death in Issue #50. In Issue #28, Sonic discusses that the heroes' attempt to save the world from the Metal Virus via the Chaos Emeralds and Warp Topaz may have failed before. Silver may have been the deciding factor to defy this trope because he arrived to their present to prevent this fate. Except for Jewel, Tangle, and to a lesser degree Whisper, everyone involved in at the end of the Eggman's Legacy Saga emerges from it more or less empty-handed: Sonic and his friends survive Surge and Kit's attempts to kill them and rescue Whisper's Wisps from the former, but Sonic and Tails fail miserably to redeem their imposters. Meanwhile, Belle's actions keep failing/backfiring, while Amy's vacation with the other girls literally goes up in flames. All of Starline's efforts since Bad Guys were already doomed even before Eggman tore them up within minutes, since Surge and Kit had secretly turned on him. Surge herself, after going rogue, undoes her own efforts to overcome Sonic due to her anger and rashness, ultimately blowing all of her and Kit's early advantages before they finally go on the run. Eggman eliminates Starline and his Eggperial City still stands with few casualties sustained in turn. However, Starline is simply replaced by the much more dangerous Surge and Kit, and Eggman fails to reclaim a prototype Surge stole from him. Thanks to Kit, Eggman is also unable to capture Surge or take out Sonic at the latter's most vulnerable. The Chaotix thwart Clutch's smuggling ring while investigating Surge and Kit's vandalism in Central City. However, Clutch escapes with Rough and Tumble in tow and the Chaotix lose Surge and Kit's trail, leaving them with a cold case.

After Surge is defeated in Issue #56, Kit retreats with her in tow, but not before collapsing Starline's base onto Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and Metal Sonic, leaving the latter four to their fates. In Issue #61, Sonic, fed up with Eggman and his Badniks, coldly leaves them to their Uncertain Doom as Shadow warps the doctor's Eggperial City into space and it blows up.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_c02f148d	type	Both Sides Have a Point
Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_c02f148d	comment	Both Sides Have a Point: Sonic comes to blows with his allies during the Metal Virus arc over his decision to spare Eggman in his amnesiac state as Mr. Tinker so he can start over and have a second chance at life... which backfires when Eggman regains his memory and goes right back to his evil ways, leading directly to the Metal Virus outbreak. Both sides bring up valid points: Sonic maintains that sparing Eggman was the right thing to do; at least it gave him a chance to do some good for once, even if he wasn't in his right mind. He also insists that nobody could have foreseen someone like Dr. Starline going out of his way to find him and restore his memories, and throws Shadow's own logic back in his face by pointing out Shadow also tried to destroy the world while amnesiac, and if he got a second chance and was forgiven, then there's no reason Eggman shouldn't be given the same courtesy. Shadow and Espio, however, are also correct in their points, both of them wanting Eggman arrested or eliminated at his most vulnerable because, well, let's face it: the doctor is a lunatic. Shadow also points out from his own experiences that just because one loses their memory doesn't make them any less dangerous. One would think Sonic would get the hint based on all of the atrocities Eggman has committed prior to the Metal Virus... but instead, he just accuses them of automatically "assuming the worst about everyone and everything". As things go From Bad to Worse, however, Sonic acknowledges that both of them were right and the entire mess is his fault. In the opening of the Zeti Hunt arc, Sonic and Eggman argue over who's fault it is the Deadly Six are running loose in the world, with Sonic holding Eggman responsible. Eggman points out that Starline went behind his back to get the Zeti involved in the Metal Virus incident, He's not wrong, but Sonic points out that Starline was Eggman's lackey at the time (Eggman didn't fire him until after the fact), so Eggman still bears responsibility. Eggman's much longer List of Transgressions doesn't help his case.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_c3648b87	comment	Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: A core part of the series' conflict is that the team all hate each other and only ally out of necessity. Rough and Tumble hate Starline for manipulating them and getting them infected; they only agree to work for the chance at new weapons. Zavok hates Starline for attempting to enslave him and the other Zeti while Starline blames Zavok for his falling out with Eggman; both scheme against one another. Zavok further hates the Skunk Brothers and considers them useless when they prove to be ineffective at a critical juncture of his plan. Mimic is the odd one out as he has no personal enmity with any of them, but he's only with the team because Starline promised to delete him off the Eggnet and cares not for any of their plans. Once they all start working together, only Rough and Tumble actually try building camaraderie with their fellow villains, even including them in their rhyming intro and spoiler:following along with Zavok's orders when Starline's treachery is revealed.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_c55c31e2	comment	Non-Standard Character Design: If you look close enough at Tumble, you'll see that he has no gloves on. Aside from the animal friends (Flickies and the like), all animal-based characters in the Sonic games are depicted wearing gloves. In the same vein Tangle has finger-less gloves.note This wasn't the case in the pre-reboot Archie Sonic comics, but those didn't tend to follow the same design rules. Lanolin the Sheep, who goes gloveless altogether until Issue #24, wears fingerless gloves herself from then on.

In order to move away from the Archie continuity, the writers can no longer name the planet "Mobius" by SEGA's executive order. Just like in Sonic X, Sonic's world is unnamed and the writers have to use oddly long euphemisms whenever they talk about Sonic's homeworld, such as the Zeti awkwardly referring to the world as "The planet that Sonic and Eggman fight over." Issue #58 has Sonic refer to Eggman's latest scheme as "strip-mining the Earth below," but it's not full confirmation whether he's just referring to the process or the planet is indeed Earth.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_ce6555f0	comment	The series was originally being billed as a Lighter and Softer Continuity Reboot that kept the same writing staff from the Darker and Edgier Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) but set out to have a tone closer to the SEGA video games. And yet, the Metal Virus saga is arguably even darker than the darkest of the older comic's darkest story arcs, as it's basically a slightly less gory Zombie Apocalypse story played completely straight. The reason for this, the writers eventually admitted, is that the storyline was plotted out as a possible highly dramatic endpoint for the Archie comics and the staff kept the story and moved some characters around to extricate Sally, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor, and Snively for the storyline so they'd be replaced with both game centric characters and new cast members like Whisper and Tangle. This resulted in a high degree of Mood Whiplash as the storyline that was plotted to FINISH decades of continuity for another comic ended up being only the new comic's second arc.

The lack of fanfare's a bit spooky. It's also a hint that it's not Eggman leading the Empire at the moment, but Neo Metal Sonic. Sonic and pretty much all his friends go through this during the Metal Virus saga. After Zombots overrun Restoration HQ, Tails' labs, and Spiral Hill Village with Vanilla, Vector, and Tangle being assimilated into the hordes, all of Sonic and co.'s morale goes out the window. During the climax arc, "All or Nothing", not only are all the comic-relief characters Zombots, but the survivors are too depressed, demoralized, and desperate to be upbeat about diddlysquat.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_eb8f64a6	comment	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Sonic rebuilds Metal Sonic after their battle at Angel Island as an act of compassion. Metal escapes Tails's workshop and ends up being what restores Mr. Tinker's memories of being Dr. Eggman. Sonic saving Tinker from Shadow also qualifies. Referred to by name by Eggman when he "rewards" the village that took him in as Mr. Tinker by making them ground zero of the Metal Virus plague. Much later, Amy defends Eggman from a Zombot Big. She quickly pays for it as Eggman kicks her into Big, infecting her. Belle repeats Sonic's above-mentioned mistake when she fixes Metal Sonic after his defeat to Surge and Kit in Imposter Syndrome (without even de-weaponizing him as Tails did). This backfires hard, as Eggman sends Metal after her and her friends once he's regained control of his HQ from Starline, and her final attempt to talk Metal down gets her slapped aside. After Kit's defeat in Issue #50, Tails repeatedly risks his own life to try and help him, holding back even after Kit rejoins Surge once their tragic past becomes known to the heroes. However, Kit refuses to listen and tries to murder the heroes anyhow, seeing his counterpart as no more than Sonic's pawn just like Kit himself is Surge's.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_ec9a5f50	comment	Deconstructed Character Archetype: A whole Deconstructor Fleet of cases. All-Loving Hero: Sonic's Thou Shall Not Kill aspect gets put through the ringer multiple times, with many people accusing him that his inability to just take care of Eggman permanently is what causes the Vicious Cycle he and Eggman are seemingly trapped in, which leads to more and more innocent bystanders getting hurt in the process. Espio personally blames Sonic for the Metal Virus arc even happening in the first place, and Surge blames him as the root cause of her ending up like she has, saying if he had just offed Eggman, Starline would have never done what he did to her. Based on his initial encounters with Knuckles, Shadow, and the like, Sonic thinks Defeat Means Friendship, but much to his disappointment, this is often not the case: Eggman decides he prefers his loftier ambitions to living in peace; Metal Sonic goes straight back to Eggman upon being fixed and restores him to normal; Surge angrily rejects Sonic's sympathic overtures; and Kit concludes that Sonic wants to reform his enemies only to prove his own point, just like Eggman and Starline. Mecha Sonic Mark II is thus far the only erstwhile foe Sonic has managed to reform, and even he had to first be reprogrammed before starting down that path. Furthermore, despite his morals and princles, Sonic's sense of forgiveness does have its limits. It's best shown by how he coldly brushes off Starline's firing, as well as his death when told about it—and that's even before he learns what Starline did to Surge and Kit. Evil Counterpart: Unlike most of Sonic's and Tails' doppelgÃ¤ngers across the franchise, Surge and Kit were forced into this role by Starline based on his shallow understanding of the heroes. The comic makes a point of showing what such abusive conditioning can do to people's psyches: rather than the Superior Successors Starline meant them to be, Surge's Irrational Hatred of Sonic (which even she doesn't understand), Kit's slavish devotion to her, and the inexperience of both degrade their combat performance while Starline's cruel experiments and gaslighting break the duo down mentally and emotionally. Sonic and Tails themselves are aghast to learn how Surge and Kit came to be. Invincible Hero: Zig-zagged. For all their Plot Armor, we are reminded more than once that Sonic and his friends are still mortal and vulnerable, with Sonic exhausting himself almost to death during the Metal Virus Saga being only one example among many. Their movesets rely heavily on certain limbs or items (Sonic's legs, Tails' and Tangle's tails, Amy's hammer, Whisper's gun, etc.), without which they are still combat-capable, but much weaker. Furthermore, while they can't outright lose to Eggman's machinations, they are not immune from scoring a Pyrrhic Victory, which in-universe is treated as a defeat.

This prompts Jet to brag about how heroic and noble he was, ruining the moment. In Issues #31-32, everyone is celebrating the Metal Virus' demise when Eggman suddenly crashes the party in a giant battle mech, announcing his presence with what might as well be a comic book version of Chewing the Scenery.

Espio personally blames Sonic for the Metal Virus arc even happening in the first place, and Surge blames him as the root cause of her ending up like she has, saying if he had just offed Eggman, Starline would have never done what he did to her.

Tails and the other Scrapniks arrive in the nick of time, pulling the both of them out of the fire, where Mecha Sonic is forgiven and Tails is able to remove Eggman's hostility protocols from both Mecha Sonic and Mecha Knuckles. Sonic and Tails part the island on good terms, with the mini-series closing out on Mecha Sonic vowing to put the past behind him and look to the future with hope, symbolized by the last panel focusing on his sunflower.

Shadow also points out from his own experiences that just because one loses their memory doesn't make them any less dangerous. One would think Sonic would get the hint based on all of the atrocities Eggman has committed prior to the Metal Virus... but instead, he just accuses them of automatically "assuming the worst about everyone and everything". As things go From Bad to Worse, however, Sonic acknowledges that both of them were right and the entire mess is his fault.

To this end, he chooses Surge, a violent delinquent with a Hair-Trigger Temper, to be his version of Sonic and Kit, a shy and submissive doormat, to be his version of Tails.

Sonic's own comical traits have receded due to his trauma and fatigue. Due to those characters' infections sidelining them, said arc's Played for Laughs moments are largely limited to Knuckles' Skewed Priorities, Rouge's antics, and Eggman's comeuppance by Zombot!Froggy. Tangle and the Chaotix leave the main plot of the Eggman's Legacy just before Starline launches his ill-fated coup against Eggman. Tangle is still tied up elsewhere during Surge and Kit's subsequent rampage and wouldn't return until the saga's Distant Finale, Urban Warfare.

As soon as the Metal Virus is destroyed, all six of those characters beat the snot out of Zavok as payback, allowing Silver to arrest him. Rouge is more than eager to beat up Starline with Amy after she got hypnotized into helping him attempt to kidnap Tails earlier in Chao Races and Badnik Bases.
