Headscratchers / Where Was My Hero...?

Go To

Spoilers are unmarked! You were warned.

  • What did Miles do before two TimeSkips happened?
    • The first Time Skip just shows 2 years later title card after Miles arrives home and gets treated to a Sad-Times Montage of bullies destroying his inventions, and is unknown how much he interacted with others.
      • How much of the Original timeline of Sonic's games has Miles missed?
      • He definitely missed his appearence in Sonic 2 and 3, other entries are still under question, but seeing that Rouge appears in the Interquel, who only makes her first appearence in the Sonic Adventure 2, makes it somewhat possibile that Miles also missed out on Adventure saga. Is only implied that Miles missed on pretty much everything.
    • The second Time Skip that shows 8 years later title card after Miles burns down the village and kills Bullies, Miles somehow finds out how to create greenish robots, along with Augmented Robotic Eyes, and a spider like chasis device that he installed on his back/spine.
      • Partially answered, but in the Interquel, Miles flees into the forest, and takes shelter from the rain in the cave, in there Cream stumbles upon him, which after some interactions they become friends and even got his nickname Tails from, then Cream drags Miles along to see Eggman in action, while having a shot, fallen, and crushed near-death experience, he then hitches a ride on the ladder placed in big robot's leg, and disables it from the inside, then spooks Sonic half to death when he opens the hatch, and introduces himself as Tails. Then something happens, that makes Miles kill Eggman, and be putted away into prison, as he devolops hatred for the planet.

  • How did Miles' relationship in the Interquel with Cream ended?
    • She appears slightly as a Meaningful Background Event, while waiting in line for Amy's soup.
      • In an SonAmy Interquel, she just appears to make Amy perform to the rebels.
      • In another official art, he is seen hugging her in the field of flowers. The context is unknown. While in another interaction with Cream, he is seen acting way differently.

  • How did Miles set the fire to his village?
    • He went there at night. Still bloody from head to toe.
      • It took him Two Hours to set it up.
      • Somehow the blame was casted on Leo Tenebris than him, maybe because he set the fire at their homes first to cast the attention from himself?
      • Did he had a lighter with him? Or anything that could produce that much fire, since all that was shown, was the metal pipe he was holding in his hands.
      • In the offical solo adventure game Tails Adventure Tails is seen using Incendiary Napalm Bombs at his disposal, but is quite unlikely that it was it, because Napalm is a really heavy mix, and would have just instantly burned everything to the ground on top of all, it would definitely not be a quiet device to use in the dead of the night.
      • Heavy fuel oil mixture theory is more plausiable, seeing how Miles is an mechanic and he somehow gets essential things in order to make his inventions day by day, finally has turned into something much flamable and nice.
      • Miles as evidenced by his ability to make makeshift umbrellas with just a pocket knife, supports a theory that he could have also setted up timed Incendiary Molotov Cocktails with makeshift Incendiary fuse. (3 matches + Piece of Paper + Lit Source Of Fire, all held together by a rubber band.)

  • How did Sonic found out Miles' nickname at the end?
    • Answer : Miles introduces himself in the Interquel by using his nickname Tails, that's where he got it from.

  • How did Sonic lost his right eye and right ear?
    • Sonic's eye was lost by Miles' hand, as he jokefully threatens to take the other one. While his ear, Sonic himself says that it was also lost in a cross fire too.

  • How does Miles' spider chasis device works and on what is it powered on?
    • Some kind of black liquid is coursing through it.
      • From unconfirmed sources, it's revealed to be "Space Alien Blood."
        • The only "Space Alien" that comes to mind is "Black Doom" from Shadow the Hedgehog, who used it's own Space Blood to create Shadow the Hedgehog.
          • His goals with Miles' are dangerously close with his, and he might have allied with him willingly or unwillingly to use in his personal goal.

  • How does Miles' robots operate, and on what is it powered on?
    • Some kind of liquid is coursing in the tubes of their heads, while they can gain the power to charge up their blaster to shoot a target in their sights.
      • They also appear to have some sort of sentience, as one of them asks Miles if they "Should get Sonic?"
      • Unlike Egg-Man, they don't need to be powered by an trapped animal in the core, making Miles just massacre everyone on sight regardless if they can be used as a fuel to his machines or not.
      • In the Interquel is shown that Egg-Man's robots operate on the same green liquid, when it gets smashed by Amy's hammer.
        • From unconfirmed claim, they are running on Chaos Emerald energy, makes sense, since they eminate a greenish colour.

  • How did Miles kill Egg-Man?
    • Egg-Man's bloody hand is only seen in the shot.
    • It was an instant death, that Sonic didn't manage to grasp at first.
      • Did Miles perhaps shoot him?
      • Because he was standing further away from Egg-Man?
      • In other presumed unrelated to "Where Was My Hero...?" art from the Comic's Creator. With Miles and Cream, he is seen holding an electric gun in his hand. Which could have been used to kill Egg-Man with. Image

      • Did he ordered someone to shoot Egg-Man?
      • He built his robots using Egg-Man's disapointments, and is now getting back at him.
      • The gun theory although has it's flaws, like why Miles is then seen bloody from head to toe when Sonic lashes out on him, but he might have killed him at close distance then.

  • What triggered Miles to kill Egg-Man?
    • All that Miles says is that he did it because he was a huge ploblem to Sonic and wanted to show how cool he would be by eliminating him.
      • It can be many things that triggered him, either someone important was hurt to him, and maybe the fact Egg-Man was using small animals as batteries, resonated with him because of his killed bird pet so much, that he killed him.
        • Or the fact other people got hurt with his assaults on the city, remember Archie Comics, where Bunnie the Rabbot gets literally robotizied in order to stay alive, this might trigger another panic attack from Miles, since he wouldn't like people getting hurt and staying passive idly got only people killed infront of him.

  • Was Miles ever punished for the previous crimes he commited?
    • Seeing how Sonic didn't react to Miles' presence when he first saw him in the Interquel, while he somehow knows his true name in the Original.
      • Maybe when he got acquited for Egg-Man's murder, they did a background check on him, and as such everything that he did back there in the village, resurfaced.
      • Seeing how the Villagers, were offered shelter by Sonic, due to Miles' arson. They probably could have seen him at some point and recognize him earlier than the background check would have did.
        • Miles would NOT be glad seeing them still alive.

  • How did Miles escape from his prison?
    • Seeing how Miles is an Kill Everyone On Sight kind of guy, he would probably not leave the prison quietly, without torching it first, like he did with his village, and the futurely doomed city.
      • He has the ability to fly with his tails, he could have gone out of the perimeter using it.
      • He also has the reflexability of building things, using just one tool at hand.
      • When the flashback about him escaping the prison gets mentioned, it just makes an small electric sound as Miles' face turns to evil one.
