So, what do you think would happen if Nine went to other sonic verses?
Oh Anon, you do not know what you just unleashed.
KAY I'M A TRY AND KEEP THIS SHORT BUT NO PROMISES
(So many verses so little time, let's try and keep them in a semblance of a line. "Sonic verses" are varied in their definition. So I suppose we'll have to take some guesses in submission.)
(In other words, you weren't specific on what you meant by Sonic verses which means you have unleashed too many ideas at once).
RIGHT, LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING:
Nine in Sonic SatAM would be absolutely terrifying because everyone would think he's some kind of time-traveled version of their Tails. Aka, they failed in the revolution and Tails turned into whoever this is. Nine would not care to correct them because why should he help some chipmunk princess and her entourage? He just wants to leave/get home, give him some power rings so he can get out of this universe that is much too similar to his with the whole Robotiziation thing going on. Nine is out of there and Tails is left praying he never turns into that weirdo.
Similar situation in Sonic Underground universe but since there is no Tails there, it's more like one of those random off-shoot episodes. They would meet Nine, fixing up his ship, at first fight him because they think he's an agent of Robotnik (the robot metal tails). Then Nine would most likely knock out the siblings, tie them up, and just let them sit there while he continued fixing his ship up. There would not be a lot of bonding it would be more of a, "Well, what are you up to?" "Fixing a ship." "Oh. We are trying to overthrow a tyrant." "Oh. Well, good luck with that." And then Nine lets them go and leaves or something, IDK
Archie Sonic Comics already have so many alternate zones that Nine showing up really wouldn't make anyone panic too much. HOWEVER--
Zonic would be trying to find where Nine is from and be very very confused when Nine is like, "Yeah, I'm from another another universe." Z: ???? *sends him to Sonic Prime because he has no idea what else to do and has a lot more issues to deal with (Scourge is one of them).*
So Sonic Prime and company (Nine: "You all exist here? Weird." *referring to SatAM*) help Nine with little trouble. Tails Prime tries to bond with his slightly older and less social self but it doesn't really go anywhere. Sonic Prime tries to figure out what happened to this version of Tails, but Nine is not really forthcoming so he gives up and they help him back into their ship.
Game Timeline (we'll say after Frontiers because why not?), Sonic is alone because all his friends went off to develop as characters (good for them!!!). So he's a bit concerned/terrified when Nine shows up because he hasn't seen or heard from his little brother in a few weeks.
Poor Sonic thinks Nine has amnesia or something and it takes multiple explanations to get it across that he is NOT Tails (also an actual phone call from Tails). Similar dynamic with Sonic Prime Sonic and this Sonic, only Nine knows that this Sonic is not even going to consider leaving with him because he has a Tails already. However, I do think Game Sonic would give Nine some kind of gift to remember him by (a screwdriver or wrench perhaps?) And Nine would be a little sad to leave but this place already has a him and he's seen enough worlds now to know that no world needs two of him.
Movie Sonic would be absolutely horrified by this duplicate little brother of his and drag the kid to Tom and Maddie and his Knuckles and his Tails in an absolute panic either claim the government is trying to clone them, shape-shifting aliens are invading, or evil versions of themselves are coming to kill them all.
Nine is not amused, yanks himself out of the Hedgehog's grip, climbs up the wall to the ceiling (Knuckles: AHHH! THE METAL TAILED DEMON CAN WALK ON WALLS!), and Nine just glares at them all while explaining he just needs to get to his ship, his name is Nine, not Evil Tails or Tails or Clone Tails, and he is from a different dimension and does not want to be here anymore than they want him here.
Yeah, Maddie and Tom adopt this child instantly as do Sonic and Tails (it takes Knuckles a bit to come around). They almost convince Nine to stay with them (Tails: We could be twins! It would be amazing!) But Nine is a stubborn boy and would sneak away in the night with only a note left behind.
Leaving that world is one of the only times Nine wishes he had his own family to go back to.
Sonic X (post Season 3) for fun let's say that Nine crashes outside of Eggman's base, is found by Shadow or Rouge, and is taken before the evil doctor. Nine is considerably annoyed at the turn of events and single-handedly hacks into Eggman's system, breaks out of his cell, makes the robots turn on Eggman so Shadow and Rouge are kept busy, activates the self-destruct sequence and then just nopes out of the dimension with a stolen power cell of some kind. (Sonic and Co in the distance: "Gee, Eggman must have messed up badly or something because his base just blew up and we didn't do it for once.)
Sonic Boom (TV series) would make Nine want to commit murder. He takes one look around and decides: no, he really doesn't want to deal with the insane Badger or the really really stupid Knuckles. So he does the smart thing and sneaks into Tails' workshop, jumps the kid, explains the situation, and Tails agrees to help him get home. Of course, shenanigans ensue and this turns into an episode of "Guys, Tails is hiding something from us. Let's try and figure out what!" With the incorrect conclusion being that Tails has decided to join Eggman or something and the crew break-in to fight him.
Nine comes back from a supply run (stealing things from Eggman) to find Tails tied up and under interrogation from his friends (Sonic is playing good cop while Amy is trying to be bad cop but Sticks keeps interrupting. Knuckles is holding the bright light in Tails face.)
Nine is not amused and ends up jumping all of them with Sticks screaming about EVIL CLONES HAVE COME TO REPLACE THEM ALL!!!
Tails jumps in and stops everyone from attacking, explains his alternate self, and Nine holds up that last piece he needs to fix his ship and leave.
So he does, with apologies to both Tails and Nine (minus Sticks because Sticks) and Nine leaves.
That is all I got at the moment but GOODNESS GRACIOUS--

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.
And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?
The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.
Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.
That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.
---
Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.
the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)
---
Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:
Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?
Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:
Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???
Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?
Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!
Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now
Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that
Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?
[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]
Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.
Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)
---
And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.
