* CloningBlues: Scourge goes to great lengths explaining how he returned to Anti-Mobius and forced changes on the entire world to differentiate it from Mobius Prime and make their world more than just a MirrorUniverse. Among other things, the planet is now called "Moebius," the Anti-Freedom Fighters are now the Suppression Squad, etc. Even after his defeat, Scourge declares himself a "Sonic the Hedgehog at his fullest potential", not held back by friends or morals.

Not surprisingly, though Fiona tried to deny it, Sonic wasn't wrong (as the entire reason Fiona betrayed the Freedom Fighters was because of her relationship with Scourge).

** Sonic and Amy track down Amy's Anti self, Rosy the Rascal, said by Ivo Kintobor (the Anti-Robotnik) to "hate" Scourge more than anyone. While they don't team up due to her insanity, they do take advantage of the chaos when Scourge is sent near her. They also team up with Buns, the Anti-Bunnie, after she was kicked out of the Suppression Squad.

* BatmanGambit: Overwhelmed by Super Scourge, Sonic hopes that Moebius' Anarchy Beryl have a different side effect than Mobius' Chaos Emeralds. The gambit pays off as the Anarchy Beryl can give unlimited power but continuously drain the user, whereas the Chaos Emeralds have a time limit, but grants a power boost when it's reached. As a result, Sourge is too weak to continue when he is dared to change back, allowing Sonic to beat him without lifting a finger.

->Featured in issues 189-197

Worlds collide as Sonic and the heroic Freedom Fighters throw-down with the evil Scourge and the villainous Suppression Squad!

!!Tropes
----
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Suppression Squad invades Mobius Prime and takes over Freedom HQ, forcing the Knothole Freedom Fighters out.
* BigBadWannabe: Despite his invasion and takeover of Freedom HQ, nobody outside of the Freedom Fighters considers Scourge a threat to be taken seriously, especially in comparison to Eggman. Indeed, Scourge is nearly defeated by Metal Sonic and Metal Scourge, the latter of whom was literally put together by Eggman at the last minute.
* CloningBlues: Scourge goes to great lengths explaining how he returned to Anti-Mobius and forced changes on the entire world to differentiate it from Mobius Prime and make their world more than just a MirrorUniverse. Among other things, the planet is now called "Moebius," the Anti-Freedom Fighters are now the Suppression Squad, etc.
* EyeScream: Patch remarks that his [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] "used" to be just for show, implying that Scourge went so far as to ''gouge his eye out'' just to differentiate him from Antoine Prime.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While the Freedom Fighters are annoyed and outraged when the Council refuse to let them take Freedom HQ back from Scourge and the Suppression Squad in favor of focusing on the continuing assault on Eggman, they make the point that Scourge isn't much of a threat and, even if he conquered Moebius, couldn't possibly make any gains on Mobius as quickly. Their reasoning is vindicated when Scourge is attacked by Metal Sonic, along with a Metal Scourge that Eggman literally put together and sent after him at the last minute, and nearly defeated.
* OpportunisticBastard: Eggman sends Metal Sonic to Freedom HQ to attack Sonic, only to find Scourge there instead. He's about to leave, only to decide to just have Metal beat up Scourge instead; Scourge's threat to take over his territories definitely helped with that.
-->'''Eggman''': Why pass up one uppity hedgehog for another?
* PoliceAreUseless: In issue 197, Sonic calls Zonic and the Zone Cops out over this, since despite their being [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse Guardians of the Multiverse]], they let Eggman, an alternate Dr. Robotnik, keep wreaking havoc on Mobius Prime and did nothing to stop Scourge from repeatedly attacking the Prime Zone until Sonic brought him right to them. Zonic explains that Sonic [[StatusQuoIsGod wasn't supposed to decisively defeat Robotnik]], and since Eggman shares a near-identical backstory and history with Robotnik Prime, he's the best candidate to fill in for him and is needed for the Prime Zone's stability. In the case of Scourge, Zonic points out they've been [[GreatOffscreenWar under siege]] by Dr. Nega, and Scourge's mutation has made him a WildCard in the cosmic scheme of things.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Sonic gives on to Scourge after defeating him in issue 196.
-->'''Scourge''': Cheated... me... I'm... King... Conquered... This whole planet... You're... nothing...
'''Sonic''': [''swats the crown off of Scourge's head, shattering it completely''] You're a bully and that's it. You take the easy, nasty way out and get the quick reward. Big whoop. I do things the right way. I help others to make something bigger and better than just mean. The good guys always win in the long run. And there isn't anybody who can run longer or better than I can.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Scourge and the Suppression Squad invade Mobius Prime and boot them out of Freedom HQ, the Council refuses to let them retake their base in favor of focusing on their ongoing assault on Eggman, believing that Scourge couldn't possibly make as much of a gain on their world as he did on his own. In response, the Freedom Fighters not only chase Scourge out of Freedom HQ on their own, but counter-invade Moebius to deal with him for good.
