Surge Appreciation Week Day 6: Hero

Whenever Surge is tempted to go back to the villain lifestyle, her biggest fan is there to remind her how special it is to be a hero!

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

I still have a bigger post in the works but in case I don't get to this point anytime soon

I just wanted to say that ever since I first read Imposter Syndrome and the Overpowered arc of IDW Sonic I've felt in my bones that Surge and Kit's projected end point is not to "accept Sonic" and "become real heroes"

To me their story has always been about how the current system of good/heroes vs evil/villains has hurt them, how they don't fit into it and yet are being pulled in both directions by villains and heroes who want them to choose a side (theirs in specific), and how they'll find their place, home, and future living freely alongside each other

I cannot envision Surge happy working for hero attention and praise long term, a position that comes with strings and will inevitably restrict her

Surge has always wanted to do her own thing, Kit has known since Overpowered that being with her is the purpose he chooses.

And I don't believe we've really hit Surge's defining moment yet (where she finally finds her own purpose and is no longer jumping between potential ones). I think right now in idw Sonic we're still in a transitional period of learning and growing and experiencing, and that moment of realization is yet to come.

But perhaps that's just me.

Amy and Knuckles in my Superhero AU

Miss Amy Rose on the surface is seen as a very typical girly girl, she likes shopping, cooking and fashion and is usually found socialising with friends or partaking in her hobbies at home. But this is not all she appears to be, she's a bold, proactive and expressive girl, but due to a mix of pressure from social circles and and being raised to in a town where she was expected to act a certain way, she's kept this side more on the down-low... although it doesn't help that people overlook her while she's 'Amy Rose'. But she showed her more spunky, tough side under a tomboyish alter ego, Posey Pockets, when she discovered her abilities, involving an extreme amount of strength for someone of her size and as well as pull things seemingly out of nowhere which she soon discovered was her being able to store things in a small pocket dimension she dubbed 'Hammerspace', where she keeps mutiples of her iconic Piko Piko Hammer. She's a force to be reckoned with and doesn't hold back when its' time to fight. Even as a super she's been overlooked by many a villain, but she was all too willing to prove them wrong.

Knuckles, as he was nicknamed by his newfound friends, is a soul from a long distant time. He lived among a mystic island hidden in the sky, Angel Island. He lived among his tribe that worshipped and protected the mystical Master Emerald. He was dubbed one of the Guardians of the Master Emerald due to being blessed with powerful abilities, not only an unnatural amount of strength and endurance but the ability to bend the element of earth at his will. Whether he doesn't remember what happened to him, or has simply kept details of his backstory to himself, it's unknown. But he was summoned trapped inside the emerald, kept in a stasis within for thousands of years. The mysterious floating island was known within the world but due to massive size of it as well as the multitudes of traps and ruins, it remains massively unexplored and history behind the ancient ruins of the echidna clan remains unknown. But eventually the Master Emerald was discovered, and due to it's massive size and apparent connection to the island and hints of it being powerful. It was taken to be studied. The notorious thief, Impress, heard about the giant emerald and set to attempt to steal it. During her attempts to steal it, she inadvertedly freed the trapped Guardian that was sealed inside. Upon awakening, Knuckles quickly became confused and panicked. He was in an unfamiliar place, with strange sounds, smells, sights and so much more. And seeing his clans sacred emerald so far from home, and feeling from this spot his island was suffering without it. He flew into a panicked rage. His rampage made him appear as an attacker and he quickly got attacked by officers and other officals. The barrage of bullets, screaming and all these 'new' things just worsened his panic and rage. Some of the heroes, such as Sonic, Twin Turbine and Posey Pockets came to the battle to confront this attacker... but would discover the truth, that this was just a young man that had suddenly come into a time that was scary and new, and he and an important item to him were far from home... the emerald was eventually returned and Angel Island was restored. To the public, who dubbed this echidna superbeing 'Groundbreaker', the echidna is hidden on the island, occasionally coming down to help and then returning to his isolated home. But really he has been helped among his newfound friends as they try to show him the modern world, helping him keep his true echidna identity secret, especially as he is unfortunately unaware echidnas extinct; the poor guy has only been told that 'not many have been seen'... As his 'civillian' self, Kalumn Rose, he's seen as just an awkward, quiet and shy tenrec guy and Amy's cousin (it was her idea). He does work as a park ranger in nature preserves and volunteers in animal shelters, were he adopted his service animal to help him adapt to this stressful new world.

SONIC AU COLLISION: ROUND 2

Imposter Swap AU belongs to @sonlc & @transgendermilesprower [link to character references]

Mechanical Error belongs to @chipistotallysane

Explore each world below the cut!

Imposter Swap AU:

Impostor Swap is an AU that focuses on the idea of multiple sonic characters swapping places/roles, most notably Sonic the Hedgehog and Surge the Tenrec. Tails and Kitsunami swap places too, as well as Shadow and Amy. We plan to come up with more character swaps in the future too! As for story, it depends on the continuity, since this isn’t just a Sonic IDW swap, it’s the whole series— though we mostly focus on IDW’s story with our art. The only major changes that we’ve made within that story so far are the main four (Sonic, Surge, Tails and Kit)’s backstories, but there might be more major changes the more we work on the AU!

Mechanical Error:

After Sonic died in an explosion, Tails became a recluse, staying in his house away from Sonic's friends. However one day he unintentionally reawakens an old project of his and Sonic's, leading him to believe the explosion that killed his brother wasn't such an accident after all. AKA: A Big Hero 6 au where Tails is Hiro and Metal is Baymax.

Round 6, Final

Surge the Tenrec (upper) was brainwashed into wanting to kill Sonic and take his place as a "hero." She was physically modified with cybernetics and Sonic's biodata. After discovering what had been done to her, she began to hate the world as a whole, and Sonic in particular, for allowing her to be created. Her augments make her very fast and grant her electrical powers. She also has a fennec fox sidekick

The Sonic ice cream bar (lower) is a frozen dessert produced by Blue Bunny. They are very silly and known for often having the eyes misplaced. Their entry also mentioned that "you can legally eat them, which is probably not a thing you can do with any other Sonic or faker"

Reversal Nova

(Here is what I have created so far in my Reverse AU)

A alternate universe where the roles are swapped, whether for the better or the worse...

Sonic: Dr. Boom, a hedgehog skilled in speed and mechanics. He was actually a kid, Robotnik took under his wing. He had a natural talent for inventing and machinery, but Dr. Boom saw potential in power such as the chaos emeralds to advance the machines, Robotnik didn't approve of this answer terminated all Dr.Boom's work. Feeling betrayed, the Hedgehog ran away and turned against the world that deemed him unworthy to advance it to a era of peace and freedom.

Shadow: Nocturnal Eye, partner of Dr. Boom and Leader of the alien race: Black Arms, on the planet. He seems relatively harmless to the unsuspecting eye, but he is a master of illusion and chaos energy.

Tails: Dr. Cosmos, a fellow technician and mechanical genius who sides with Dr. Boom. His machinery is known to be quite efficient and reliable, a master of words and creating machines that act as mimics around other mobians. Truly a terrifying feat for someone of his age.

Amy: Vermillion, Teller of the Future and Leader of the "Rosebuds" a group of warriors who can see into the future and protect the present to prevent disasters from occurring.

Eggman: Ivo Robotnik, Hero of Station City and the world as a whole, uses his mechanical prowess and power of lightning to defend the innocent from the hands of Dr. Boom and other villains that follow suit. Has a short patience and can be easy to annoy with petty insults tho.

Rouge: Carmine, guardian of the Master Emerald, and last of the Bat Treasure Hunters, a tribe of bats that would hunt treasure and steal from the rich to give to the poor. Has to deal with an annoying an Echidna that is also a treasure hunter with a strange connection to the emerald and tries to take it for himself.

Knuckles: Titian, an independent echidna treasure hunter, skilled in many forms of combat and is quite a people person, he has fierce personality which causes him to bump heads alot with Carmine, all he wants is understand why he feels so drawn to the Master Emerald, sure he always takes the Chaos Emeralds but that isn't the case this time, if only he could get Carmine to believe that.

Silver: Ivory, a prince from an alternate dimension that tends to interlap with Robotnik's, when it does, he tends to stick around and offer aid where he can with the help of his powers of ice.

Blaze: Lustre, a time traveler from the distant future that is both in distress and at peace given its destroyed state, has the power of Umbrakinesis and Aerokinesis, allowing her to use wind and darkness together to create bendable space matter for combat

Metal Ivo: A robot version of Robotnik created by Dr. Boom, a silent robot but he very much as attitude towards his enemies

Infinite: Zero the Jackal, member of the Rosebuds. He is able to harness the power of the purple chaos emerald and create illusions as a distraction while he disarms his opponents. Joined the squad because he is in search of his missing partner, Gadget the Wolf, who disappeared several years ago

Surge: Beryl the Tenrec, another member of the Rosebuds and childhood friend of Vermillion, knows why she created the Rosebuds and sticks by her through it all. Is raising a younger brother she adopted in all this chaos, and can harness the powers of lightning

Scourge: Jules Terios Hedgehog, Dr. Boom's twin brother, he fights on the side of the heroes and is the main reason Dr. Boom truly hasn't killed anyone yet and why no one tries to kill Dr. Boom. Jules hopes one day he'll get his twin back

Eclipse: Arcane "The Ultimate Hope" , the Nocturnal Eye's aka Spectre's younger brother. Created by Nocturnal Eye's hands, Arcane is symbolized as a beacon of hope, not only for Spectre and the Black Arms on the planet, but also for Dr. Boom. He is torn as he wishes to live life on the planet but is bound by his duty to his older brother.

Maria: Maria R. Lunae, a woman of unknown origins. No one knows who she is or where she came from, all they know is her research revolves around the Black Arms, protecting the leader that resides on the planet and a young alien from the Black Arms that tries to blend in with society (Eclipse)

Sonic World project plan: Sonic the Hedgehog (Vol. 2)

This series is not an assured project. It is a concept that can still be changed or scrapped.

Synopsis

Doctor Starline unveils his master plan. Surge and Kitsunami arrive and are determined to replace Sonic and his friends. Not everything goes as planned and the two are too villainous. Team Sonic hopes to calm them down or else they will be "recalled" by Starline.

Characters

Sonic the Hedgehog - The greatest hero of his world. He is known for being the fastest living thing on the planet.

Miles "Tails" Prower - One of the smartest people on his planet. He is best friends with Sonic and supplies Team Sonic with their tech. His two tails allow him to fly.

Knuckles the Echidna - The guardian of the Master Emerald until it was destroyed by Metal Sonic. He is on a quest to restore it, but will help his friends when needed.

Amy Rose - Leader of the Restoration and Sonic's biggest fan. She is known to have devastating attacks with her mallet.

Surge the Tenrec - One of Starline's test subjects. Experimentation with the energy of a Master Emerald shard has given her superspeed and electrokinetic powers. She is driven to beat Sonic.

Kitsunami the Fennec - Another test subject of Starline who acts as support to Surge. He hates Tails so much. His power is to control the shape of water. Howler built him a backpack that compresses a large amount of water so that the fennec has a lot at his disposal.

Doctor Starline - A scientific genius who has taken over the Eggman Empire following Eggman's disappearance. He used a shard of the Master Emerald to give Surge and Kitsunami their powers. His goal is to create a world that does not need heroes and he wants be seen as the greatest mind on the planet.

Howler the Wolf - Assistant and mechanic working for Doctor Starline. He serves as the voice of reason for the doctor and is not afraid to tell him off for his foolish behavior. During this volume, he feels like his services are needed less than ever.

Other Information

Starline's scheme is inspired by Syndrome's plan from the movie "The Incredibles."

Reverse Sonic Emblem

Reverse Sonic the Hedgehog

Here, Have a bad guy.

I won't give out that much of him or the personality of him. Or his goal, Just yet. You just have to wait and see.

For the next few renders. Every hero I send out will be followed by a villain. Until there are no more Villains. Being Sonic and his never ending list of friends. The heroes will out number the Villains. So don't get used to seeing Villains that much :XD:

a Sonic version of the Flash villain "Reverse-Flash"

I just felt inspired to make this after watching the latest episode of CW's Flash, surprise no one else has done the same concept before

Reverse Sonic is a villain appearing in published by SEGA and has since endured as the Sonic the Hedgehog.

"you thought you would see a father's day render, but it was I, Reverse-Sonic!!"

I was gonna try and push myself to make a fathers day theme'd render but my heart told me I wanted to make a Reverse-Sonic Render

I was inspired by how before I made the connection of Flash = Reverse Flash, Sonic = Reverse Sonic, nobody else had really made the concept of a "Reverse Sonic" which baffles me slightly~

I've also made up lore for him which I would like to explore in a story.. someday~ i'm just not very good at coming up with a medium for story telling yet...

[eldritch-araneae]

I finished this mini-project! I wanted to redraw and redesign all my Sonic OCs I had 18 years ago, just to see how they would look like with my current skills and it's was absolute blast!

My teen self would never believe they will grow that much, my inner child is happy now!

I don't remember the story for these characters, so I quickly made up new one to tie them all together, which you find under the cut, along with stand alone pictures.

Blade the Hedgehog (?).

An immortal weird-looking hedgehog who been around for 3000 years. They've seen and been through a lot, but despite anything, they keep a positive, yet grounded view of life. Blade has incredible charisma which lets them to get along almost with anyone, but they rarely open up. People often assume they're naive and too trusting, but in reality, Blade has very few things to worry about - their life is not one of them.

Blade is dedicated to record history and preserve their findings in the huge archive, hidden in Rusty Ruins. After all, time erodes everything, and if it can't take one's body - it will take their memory instead.

Abilities are unknown.

Tulip the Echidrel.

The long-living echidrels are small community of squirrel-echidna hybrids, carrying knowledge and customs of their ascendants since ancient times. They're natural explorers, charting places where many wouldn't dare to go. Tulip is no exception and that's the main reason why she quickly became friends with Blade.

Excellent problem solver, but also very stubborn that sometime leads her into "must find the way to complete a task today or else" trap.

She's a guardian of Rusty Ruins Archives and will introduce her spiky mace to the intruder's face if necessary.

Glint the Tenrec.

A lone sorceress living on the remote island in her mansion she inherited from her parents. She appears to be shy amd innocent, but make no mistake - she will not hesitate to fight using whatever means necessary.

Collecting varios magical artifacts, she wants to uncover the secret behind planet origins and it's dimensions, especially the places known as "Beyond". The simple curiosity drives Glint forward, sometime even dealing with shady people to obtain knowledge.

Umbra the ???

A mysterious entity from the "Beyond". Made of darkness, she can hide herself in shadows and between dimensions. Long ago Umra made a mistake and accidentally broke the biggest taboo of her people. As punishment, she was banished from Beyond for all eternity.

Entities like her cannot exist long in different dimensions, unless they bind themselves to someone native to it. Lucky for Umbra, she crossed her paths with Glint and made a pact - survival for helping the sorceress to gain knowledge she wants.

Fierce the Chimera.

An escaped experiment, who recently broke free and now roaming in Rusty Ruins. Always angry and never seem to be in a good mood, she already had few fights with local immortal hedgehog. Blade has no idea where Fierce came from and what's her deal, but they her and her pet snake Ping stay regardless.

Meanwhile, Fierce just wants to be left alone, haunted by images of her forgotten past and headsplitting migraines.

She's strong, sometimes can go berserk of pushed too much. Ping has a potent venom and will strike lighting fast if it's feels Fierce being in danger.

Dr. Prion.

A kangaroo how deem himself superior above the rest. The world is unjust place, plagues with lies, overlords, and "heroes" who believe what they do is best for everyone. It's up to him to fix it, diving deep into genetics and brain functions. Fascinated by long lifespan of echidrels, he seek to achieve the same result by making hybrids.

One time Glint supported his aspirations, funding his projects. But as time passed, the more she saw his terrifying egoistical side despite the fruitful reserch. She backed away, and to this day Prion dreams of revenge.

But first, he wants to fix the world, and soon everyone will become like him - rational.

Flow the Aquabird.

One of successful hybridisation experiments Dr. Prion even made. Strengths of both species turned Flow into a beautiful and dangerous weapon, who combine ballet dancing with hydrokinesis.

Not only she's powerful, but 100% loyal to Prion no matter what. His worldview is current and it's the only way to save the world and turn it into paradise. Of course, she wasn't like this when they first met, Prion wiped her memory entirely, erasing the person she once was.

Now she's eternally grateful to the doctor for saving her from the cruel world, and will anything in her power to archive his dreams. Trusts no one expect Prion and Mecha Raptor - her bodyguard.

If you hear Swan Lake instead of regular drowning theme - you know that Flow is nearby.

Mecha Raptor.

Dr. Prion, while being sure that his work on Flow won't come undone, still wants to put a failsafe. Someone to protect his perfect weapon from forming different opinion on the world. Through some shady and illegal shenanigans, he got his hands on a stolen schematic crated by an engineer genius Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. It took Prion some time to figure out, but eventually he created Mecha Raptor.

It has no personality and it's only priority is to ensure Flow's happiness and protection.

[jamesintherye91]

Just recently bought online for £6 (which given how more costly other collected volumes of this comic can be is a good bargain) and I thought it was fine. Not having read everything and only know about certain parts of the IDW Sonic series, it was decent at least compared from what I've read in the recent Sonic Riders 4 arc which just felt padded and filler to tedious effect.

The art by Thomas Rothlisberger, Aaron Hammerstrom, Mauro Fonseca alongside inkers and colourists Matt Froese, Gigi Dutreix and Valentina Pinto was easily the best about this miniseries which the new flowing of colours and effects throughout it. This miniseries of course introduced new rivals Surge The Tenrec and Kit The Fennec who are gaslighted and manipulated by Dr Starline to carry out his master plan to unsurp Eggman, Sonic, Tails and the rest to take over the world.

As a story as written by long time writer Ian Flynn, it's serviceable but I keep thinking they've could've been a much better way to introduce these new "heroes" and unpack everything that arises throughout but I can understand the limits of writing a four issue miniseries that has to tie with the main ongoing series. Surge and Kit at least to me look kind of cute but slightly creepy which I think is a balance that the Sonic franchise should play into much more but considering the direction their characters end up going, as stated introducing them as characters who Sonic and friends first meet before being slowly into their social circle before Starline sets his final plan in motion to deal with the heroes whilst having Eggman having to face them as well.

The fact that before the climax, both Surge and Kit openly postulate their whole reason for existing and purpose and only to get beaten subsequently and effectively be rendered as minor nuisances/potential good guys (?) is almost indicative of how the status quo works in this series and how despite what past horrors are afflicted upon the community of the animal public, nothing really changes and how inevitably Starline's plan to unsurp it was doomed to fail from the start. Nothing really changes. No evolution. No vision. No future. Surge and Kit of course hate the current status quo and so they must "burn it all to the ground" and be rendered as monsters until again they decide to become a part of it in the wake of their first few confrontations with Sonic and friends.

Into, Across and Beyond! Cast: Hog the Tenrec

Created by: Jack Gore

(Art by Stikfig01 on DA)

"If it means getting to stop other lives from being unfairly destroyed by some paranormal creeps... I'm in! I've got a lot I need to make up for after my world was wiped out."

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles; a truly marvellous game by today's standards, and a pretty fitting conclusion to the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy. And of course, our story begins when the cartridges containing the full game are inserted into a console.

However, this isn't the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis it got inserted into; rather, it was a bootleg product dubbed the GIGA Switch 'n Play, which aimed to create extensions to pre-existing titles. The console was made exclusively for the Sonic franchise, which aimed to include its own twists to the characters and gameplay.

And so this brought in GIGA's own original lineup of bootleg Sonic characters for this game; Hog the Tenrec, the land's hero, Prowler the Fennec, Hog's trusty sidekick, Fists the Porcupine, the guardian of the Giga Ruby, and Dr. Yolkman, the main bad guy. As to where the original assets ended up? Well, they ended up in a place dubbed "The Void", where hidden or unused assets go.

This is where this cartridge's Sonic ended up, having been stuck there for months by that point and trying to remain optimistic as best as he could, with little success. Just about everyone's code was being taken and used for the game, and Sonic was the sole survivor in the void, everything else he cared for having died upon coming here.

During his long time there, he learned about Hog, having witnessed him and Prowler getting into a scrape with Yolkman. He wasn't spiteful of this replica at first; rather, he was intrigued, and wanted to try and find a way to reach out to him. Unfortunately, nothing worked during his isolation, missing his friends and arch-nemesis a lot.

Soon enough, the distorting corpses of the trio revealed to Sonic some stuff; namely, what the Void was now doing to Sonic, and that he was really close to dying. Tails showed him a way to make his presence known via a Power Ruby, and Knuckles and Robotnik made it plain and simple that Sonic got replaced by Hog.

After a longer time in the Void, Sonic finally lost his mind, now feeling nothing but utter hatred for Hog and wanting to return on top again. In his words...

"I WILL NOT BE REPLACED!"

He was finally able to break out of the Void and snag the first Power Ruby. However, something wasn't right. He did not look like himself, and the fennec in front of him kept referring to him as Hog. He tried to take his anger out on Prowler, but his possession of Hog was short-lived, as the tenrec took back control, clearly unaware of what had just happened.

Hog felt guilty for unknowingly trying to strangle his now-upset friend, and Sonic was back where he was. However, he had that Power Ruby, and with them, he could keep trying to break free. And the more Power Rubies Hog collected, the closer Sonic was to his goal.

Later, Prowler noticed Hog's unnatural obsession with wanting to collect the Power Rubies, especially since he'd only ever get them to try and stop Yolkman. While the tenrec was resting up that evening, Prowler thought about what was going on and knew that this behaviour was completely unlike Hog. Whatever this thing was, it wanted the Power Rubies for its own purposes.

And so, Prowler worked on a device to nullify the power of the Rubies, testing it on one of them with success before pretending he was sleeping. The following day, Hog single-handedly dealt with a whole army of Boltniks, which gave Prowler a chance to sneak up on him and ready the gun.

This led to a fight between Prowler and Sonic, the gun working well against the corrupted hedgehog, who was impressed Prowler had figured out the truth. In the aftermath of their right, Prowler made it clear that Tails, despite the two being little alike, would not appreciate Sonic for doing this.

This only served to infuriate the fallen hero, who, in a fell swoop, slaughtered Prowler before Hog regained control. Hog was absolutely heartbroken over what had become of his best friend, falling into broken tears over this loss. And worse still, Sonic LET Hog regain control just to see his pain and relish in it.

Now holding all seven Power Rubies, Sonic attempted to transform proper, but with little success. However, the Giga Ruby on Heaven's Land (Hog's equivalent of Angel Island) could be a possible last resort. So he raced over there, only to be met with Fists, who wasn't too pleased about his motives for coming here.

After a fight that felt like hours, Sonic managed to weaken Fists, before using the Giga Ruby to summon his friends back into existence. However, they were more undead than anything, and they promptly slaughtered Fists in a really gruesome fashion.

Sonic then used the Giga Ruby to transform, but it wasn't what he had hoped for. His body was taller and more withered, reflecting the monster he had become. He was not Sonic anymore; he was now Scorched.

Yolkman arrived, feeling horrified at the sight before him before taking the Giga Ruby as fast as possible and retreating to Sacred Aether Zone (Sky Sanctuary Zone). When both arrived at the location, Yolkman ordered his newest robot, War Hog Mk. II, to fight off Scorched and buy him some time to escape.

However, Yolkman ultimately met his end too. But this time, Hog's resilience caused him and Scorched to be split into separate entities. And boy, was the tenrec NOT happy to see his most hated foe yet. The two fought a lot, and Scorched was getting the upper hand.

And yet, Scorched was forced to reflect on all that had happened, realising what he was doing was uncharacteristic of him, and he was losing all of what made him Sonic. Fists did survive his encounter, however, and his movement to patch himself up destroyed the Power Rubies AND Giga Ruby, setting off a worldwide apocalypse in the process.

Fists perished after getting some more hits into Scorched, leaving only the fallen hedgehog and Hog left. Scorched had now become nothing but a quivering wreck, regretting everything he had done after being called out for it by Hog. And with impending doom approaching fast, Hog didn't know whether he should forgive his enemy or let him suffer.

He seemed to lose consciousness for several hours after that, awakening in a new location he felt familiar with, but at the same time, didn't recognise. Something seemed to have saved his life, but he didn't know what it was. He did some investigating around the CR version of Angel Island, trying to get some bearings as to his new location.

During his time there, he discovered CR!Sonic paying a visit there, having patched things up with his Sally since One More Hero. The blue blur was headed to Hidden Palace as Hog quietly trailed behind so as not to be spotted. While in the palace, he saw the murals depicting all that had been, like the S3&K events and the ordeal with Perfect Chaos.

At the shrine, CR!Sonic and CR!Knuckles were simply catching up with each other, the echidna having heard about Sonic fixing things up with Sally again. They noticed Hog a few seconds later, with the blue blur going to give his introductions.

Hearing Sonic's name caused those traumatic memories to surge right back into the tenrec, as he explained what had happened back at his world, and the sad truth that he can NEVER go back there ever again thanks to its destruction. CR!Sonic offered Hog his understanding and reassured him that he would not ever try to harm Hog.

For a couple more days, Hog stuck around the CR universe to familiarise himself with how regular Sonic universes are like, and he and CR!Sonic later got involved in the events of More than One Universe, Hog's motivation for doing so being to stop any more lives being unfairly lost to multiversal terrors like what Scorched was.

In the aftermath of it all, Hog decided to stick around in the OMT universe, becoming a new member of the Blur Gang and being able to interact with others from other worlds that are not hostile towards him in any way. In a way, he got what he couldn't back at his home; Sonics who COULD co-exist with him without being wiped clean from existence.

It's only telling that he and Wacky, both bootlegs of Sonic, take high offence to Lost Memory Sonic's remark that OMT!Tails and Antho were not deserving to be heroes due to not being Sonic. Speaking of them, they also have a good laugh about stuff like the names of their villains (Hog's being Dr. Yolkman, and Wacky's being Dr. Sunnyside, both egg-related puns).

A Measure of Character - Gold the Tenrec, and Standing Tall as Reality Collapses, With a Dash of History to Taste

It is no exaggeration to say that dimensional shenanigans were an essential piece of Archie Sonic's identity, handily one of the it's longest standing tropes and probably the first thing to truly set it apart from the games and cartoon that inspired it. No joke; this is something the comic starting dabbling with no sooner than Issue 02, way the hell back in 1993, so we might even be looking at the point of origin of this trope for the franchise as a whole, really. If there ever comes a point where it strikes you that Sonic just can't seem to stay put in a single plane of reality, just know that it's all part of a long treasured legacy spanning decades.

Suffice to say there's a fair bit of history to be found here, and set to play front-runner for the re-boot's refurbished take on the concept as she was, I like to think that Gold the Tenrec had the opportunity to revitalize it for the new order of things in some interesting ways, with the introduction of a much more expansive element of character than the comic had ever previously enjoyed being chief among them.

That is a surprisingly loaded statement, and it's one that requires a bit of contextual finagling to fully back up. So let's kick this off by looking back on some recent, and some not so recent, history…

So before we can dig into what Gold might have contributed at the character level of things, we need to do a quick summation of how the comic played about with it's notion of alternate dimensions the first time around. Chiefly speaking, when circumstance brought the action out onto the dimensional stage, it was happening in one of two ways; either somebody was heading out to get something specific done before heading right back to Mobius, or our intrepid heroes were dealing with some trouble falling on their heads on the home front.

Nobody was really "traveling abroad" for it's own sake, is what I mean to say, and this is pretty handily epitomized by Gold's most direct predecessor as resident dimension hopper, none other than Sonic the Hedgehog himself.

Sonic's history of breaking dimensional boundaries is a fittingly storied one. Whether it's getting launched into a confab with a trio of demigods after collecting his billionth power ring, being led by an actual, literal suit to the Casablanca homage dimension wherein he fights the robots from MST3K, to getting hauled off to the lawyer dimension after getting framed by his evil mirror universe doppelganger, this was stuff that our favorite needle mouse just kind of kept having happen to him. And I mean that rather literally.

On most any occasion where Sonic found himself in another time and place, there was an actual guiding influence leading him there, putting him in position to help those worlds in times of dire need and with no speedy blue heroes of their own to handle things. This would've been on a fairly regular basis in-universe, too, and all with said guiding influence gleefully playing coy on just why they were sending the poor guy off on some odyssey or another on what at least had to have been every couple weeks. Which on it's own would still probably be all well and good were it not for the fact that Sonic just never really had very much to show for all the work he'd put in while traipsing across creation.

This is a pretty direct consequence of what went on at the production end of things. See, same as it is today over at IDW, Archie Sonic developed an extensive catalogue of specials and side series over the years, and often as not, it was one & done day trips out into the multiverse that you'd find filling the pages of those specials. As a result, almost none of the places Sonic had gone to and the people he'd met would ever come up again.

This would be the shape of things right up until Ian Flynn took up the writer's chair, but then all that really amounted to was things veering off totally in the opposite direction with alternate universes becoming the least prevalent they'd ever been in the comic's history. Which is hardly surprising, given all the other things Ian was taking a machete to back at the start of his tenure, but the fact that we never got to enjoy the majesty that was Sally McAcorn in an actually decent art style still stings the heart to this day.

Put all this together and you're left with a dimension hopper who never seemed all that impressed with all the hopping around he'd done, which in turn leaves the sheer scope of it all bereft of any particular sense of grandeur. And it's on that one simple point that Gold represents such a major sea change.

It's through Gold that we finally would've gotten someone who truly appreciated the scale they were operating at, akin as it might've been at first to the appreciation one gets for the ocean as they're drowning in it.

Getting jettisoned to parts unknown without warning and with no real home to turn back to regardless, all manner of monstrous nastiness lurking about in the aeither, and with only themselves to rely on to pull them through it as reality tears itself apart. There's really no overlooking this particular element of… sustained severity, let's call it, characterizing the situation Gold and company find themselves in that Sonic never had to deal with. Learning how to cope with that severity would've marked one of the most pivotal turning points of their journey, and while it's something I think Team Psych on the whole would've eventually achieved, Gold would've represented it at it's purest.

Remember, Gold entered this story having only ever known the situation with the Genesis Portals for what it could be at it's most cataclysmic, finding herself powerless to do much of anything about it time and again. From that initial incident that left her stranded in a foreign world and then having to stand by as the closest thing she had to family worked tirelessly to bring that same kind of armageddon to their door, she was about as close to rock bottom as one can be without full-on hitting the ground.

It's hardly any wonder that she took that desperate gamble to seize the opportunity Silver and Schlemmer presented her even when confined to The Council's seat of power. It was probably the closest thing to hope she'd felt for a good many years.

And that's all it really takes, isn't it? A single spark of hope to lift up the spirit and help it find strength in the darkest circumstances. We can definitely see it work out for Gold like this. When that climatic scuffle with the Second Devourer seemed to take a fatal turn and the doom she'd evaded for so long caught up with her, Gold was able to face it head on, standing tall and with a smile. Quite the drastic turn from the way she'd previously been left a panicked wreck in comparably less drastic situations.

And it's through that same newly forged confidence and optimism that Gold would be able to make a rather simple but direly important contribution to the team later down the line. When the moments inevitably come that the team find themselves lacking direction or at risk of getting crushed by the sheer enormity of the task before them, Gold would be the one best able to keep the spirit of their mission alive by reminding them that even as reality itself insists on collapsing around them, they've stayed standing. They're the ones who've proven that this is not, in fact, the end, and that they'll be able to push on through whatever grisly happenstance comes their way.

It's that all too critical element of perseverance that Team Psych would need to keep them heading forward, and it's only fitting that the one who'd most known that kind of hopelessness by heart would be the one to ensure they overcome it and see thing's through to the end.

But, of course, there's still the matter of how they'll actually go about doing that. Because all this heartfelt ishkabibble aside, reality collapsing in on itself is still very much a practical concern they'd need to get a handle on, and there's only so much headway the power of friendship can grant you on something like that when your name isn't Sonic! That's an effort that calls for more than just three sets of hands, and rounding up that extra support was always going to be the natural progression for Team Psych's story.

How those efforts were going to shape up, though, may well have resulted in something… peculiarly familiar, but we'll get into the implications of that another time. And hopefully it'll be before this time next year!
