[[foldercontrol]]
!! From The Games
!!!The Hooligans
A three-man batch of mercenaries headed by Nack the Weasel.
[[folder: Nack the Weasel]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nack_the_weasel.png]]
An amoral bounty hunter who works for whoever pays him. Usually all business, his dealings with the Freedom fighters have made it personal, and he won't hesitate to take an opportunity to make Sonic and his friends' lives miserable. While he has a good track record against Sonic himself, Nack seems to have women troubles with the FF's ladies...
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* AdaptationalBadass: Although he is still a comical villain, Archie Comics Nack gets close to killing Sonic while his video game counterpart could hardly run away without [[https://youtu.be/Rjx_VcGfXQA?t=29s tripping]] over his own two feet.
* AffablyEvil: He describes himself as a sensible cut-throat.
* BountyHunter
* ColdSniper: He is one of the few Mobians (other than the Echidnas) who uses guns, and is VERY proficient with them.
* CoolBike: The Marvelous Queen.
* IronButtMonkey
* NearVillainVictory:
** He comes ''dangerously'' close to killing both Sonic ''and'' Knuckles with a single bullet from his sniper rifle in issue 271. The only reason he misses is because Metal Sonic drops in front of him ''just'' as he was about to fire. The scariest thing is that Sonic had no clue just how close he came to dying because ''no one even suspected he was there''!
** Similarly, despite his comical rivalry with Sally, he did nearly take her out twice over. The first case was stopped due to Mina TakingTheBullet, and the second was prevented by Amy. His only consolation was that he did at least finally make Sally [[OhCrap take him seriously]] their final face-off.
** In a free-for-all for a Chaos Emerald, Fang tries to use the opportunity to snipe an unknowing Amy, having turned his vengeance onto her over last time, but this time gets blindsided by Cream and Cheese. An frustrated Fang lampshades [[IWasBeatenByAGirl he's having a bad track record with girls]].
* SmugSnake
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* CainAndAbel: According to the Encyclopedia, rumor has it that Nack killed his sister to snuff out the competition.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he and Mogul took snipes at each other in prison, when Mogul rescues them all Nack gives him "one free job" as thanks.
* {{Flanderization}}: One infamous GroinAttack from Sally in the Penders era (in an arc he was [[NotSoHarmlessVillain still a threat to her afterwards]]) solidified him as [[ComicallyLopSidedRivalry a hopeless punching bag]] [[IWasBeatenByAGirl for the female Freedom Fighters]] in nearly [[RunningGag every appearance]] during the Flynn pre-reboot era, a fact he lampshades in one of his last appearances then. Downplayed in the post-reboot era, he still interchanges between semi-competent or a punching bag, but the choice of opponent is indiscriminate.
* GlassCannon: Nack arms himself with a lot of powerful weaponry, but his durability is fairly low. In his debut he outwits and defeats Sonic, ready to take him to Eggman. Then he's blindsided and taken out by a single punch from Knuckles. His later appearences have similar displays of these strengths and weaknesses.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's actually [[NotSoHarmlessVillain proved a problem for the Freedom Fighters]] at times (as he proudly points out, he bested Sonic ''twice'') but he's still for the large part a bumbling goofball.
* InsistentTerminology: Refers to his gun as a "blaster", presumably for the purposes of [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerization]]. Justified in that despite looking like a revolver, it fires energy shots rather than bullets.
* ItsPersonal: While he's usually profit motivated and self preservational, he tends to start vendettas with heroes that offer him especially [[CurbstompBattle smug or humiliating defeats]], commonly a case of...
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: To the point it is something of an escalating RunningGag. After kidnapping Sally, she escaped him with a GroinAttack. He spent several bouts against the Freedom Fighters targetting her in particular for this, though was robbed an ideal revenge by Amy who delivered him a sound beating. He turned his vendetta onto her in a later story, but was blindsighted by ''Cream'' in time.
-->'''Nack:''' ''*shoots frantically at Amy*'' I took out Sonic the Hedgehog! Twice! Why do you broads keep giving me trouble?
-->'''Amy:''' ''*bats away bullets like nothing*'' Oh, stop whining! Sally didn't hit you ''that'' hard!
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As he himself lampshaded, he's managed to rival and even successfully capture Sonic for a client more than once. And yet so many of the lower tier Freedom Fighters ([[IWasBeatenByAGirl often the female ones]]) keep finding ways to take him out like a joke.
* {{Revenge}}: Despite being profit motivated, Nack proves to be very vindictive. When hired against the Freedom Fighters he will often primarily target the one who most recently defeated or humiliated him, and will be sure to rub any rare oneupmanship he scores in their faces. Sonic, Knuckles, Sally and Amy all earned his personal ire over handing him a CurbstompBattle at some point.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Sally for a long while, due to a grudge over a GroinAttack. After being humiliatingly dealt with by Amy after finally cornering her, he turned his vendetta to her for a while.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* TooDumbToLive: Post-Genesis Wave Team Hooligan is hired to get the Chaos Emerald before the Chaotix in Sonic Universe 64 by Eggman. Nack is not ignorant to the fact of what kind of person Eggman is and have been betrayed by him before and once was almost killed by him and yet he still takes jobs from him. Bark seems to be the only person who sees this as a problem. That said, he does justify his decision in working for Eggman by stating that Eggman intended to fix the planet for his own purposes and that it wasn't going to just fix itself. [[/folder]]
[[folder: Bean and Bark]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f2e51e19e129a052ed91fa26583bac1a.png]]
One's an [[TalkativeLoon overtalkative]], more-than-slightly bonkers duck who can [[MadBomber spontaneously generate bombs]]; the other's a [[TheVoiceless mute]], [[TheBigGuy hefty]] polar bear. Together, they cause crime. Usually in the employ of another villain, Bean and Bark don't seem to carry any sort of grudge against the heroes, and are mostly in it to earn a quick buck and have fun. Both characters first made their appearance in the Sonic franchise back in a game called [[VideoGame/SonicTheFighters Sonic The Fighters]].
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Characters
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, Bark was described as a GentleGiant with a kind heart and both him and Bean were grouped up as part of "Sonic's friends" in the [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Fighters#Story story]] of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''. Both were turned into villains in the comic, likely a result of the writer not knowing any better due to their Japanese bios [[NoExportForYou having not been officially translated at the time]].
* AffablyEvil: They aren't particularly malicious and don't seem to hold their various defeats or imprisonments against the heroes much. Bean, in particular, is often very friendly in his... extremely odd way.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In one issue, they switch sides from Mogul to Sally and back.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They are almost entirely comic relief and seemingly regarded both in-universe and out as more of a general nuisance than a genuine threat.
* IronButtMonkey: They take part in a lot of the comic's slapstick, [[TooKinkyToTorture usually with a smile]] in Bean's case.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Both of them (though Bark in particular) are pretty pragmatic when it comes to fights they can't win.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Any time they’re involved its usually to get something to sell off or in general a powerful emerald. They abandoned Cream when she said she couldn't pay them for their help against Metal Sonic.
* RedOniBlueOni: Bean is the red oni to Bark's blue oni.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Cream attempts to get Bean and Bark to help out when Sally and Amy come under attack by Metal Sonic. Instead, they bolt when Cream reveals she can't pay them.
!!Bean-Specific Tropes
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Bean really likes shiny objects. In his debut he has the Freedom Fighters on the ropes until Fiona tosses a set of shiny keys outside and he excitedly runs after them.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get Bean's attention is to say his bombs suck. Charmy exploits this at one point.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bean can be surprisingly devious when he's not busy being totally loopy. [[spoiler:During his fight with Espio in the Chaos Emerald Championship, he acts like he's half-asleep and barely paying attention to his opponent to bait him into getting reckless, then casually trips him up and out of the ring. When Espio realizes that he was being played all along, Bean's only response is a decidedly unsettling PsychoticSmirk.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Bean would be downright formidable if he weren't so [[SanityHasAdvantages insane]]. Best demonstrated when he single-handedly prematurely detonates the Babylon Rogue's entire arsenal in Sonic Universe #23. Even the Rogues lampshade this, thankful he doesn't work for the Armada.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Bean (or perhaps an ancestor) in #50. Their first official appearance is #160.
* FunnySchizophrenia: Bean.
* MadBomber
* MediumAwareness: Bean, post-Super Genesis Wave. During one issue he notices his word balloons are coming out upside down, and tries to stop fighting until they're back to normal.
* TheNicknamer: Bean's called Sonic "Speedy [=McQuickness=]", "Mr. Needlemouse" and "Speedy Cheese"; called Tails "Propellor Butt"; called Amy "Piko Piko Valkyrie" and "Shouty Hammer [=McPain=]"; called Jet the Hawk "Jettinson Q. Hawkington"; called Blaze "Little Miss Flaming Lilac"; and called Eggman "[[VideoGame/SonicColors Baldy McNosehair]]". He also [[ICallItVera named one of his bombs "Jamie-Kendall Duckingworth III".]]
!!Bark-Specific Tropes
* OnlySaneMan: Bark especially in Sonic Universe 64 were he, for the first time ever, expresses having a problem with obtaining an Emerald and working for Eggman. He's right because a) Eggman is known for betraying people he does not need and b) the world is in chaos and Eggman is the last person you want to go to for help.
* SuperStrength: Applies to Bark. ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'' confirms he is the third strongest Mobian alive with Mighty the Armadillo in second place, and Big the Cat in first.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Sort of. While Bean falls in the dead center of neutral and Nack is the most malicious of them, Bark is starting to show some moral problems with working for and/or helping Eggman, a known villain and the most evil person on the planet.
* TheVoiceless: He does get a few speech bubbles here and there, but they're just things like "?!" or a sigh at most.

!!Battle Bird Armada
[[folder: Battle Bird Armada]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_bba_kukkuxv_speedy_resize.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300: Speedy (left); Battle Kukku XV (right)]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see pre-SGW]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7342176bd424a00cad0b9a1a032c73dc.png]][[/labelnote]]
Hailing from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsAdventure'', the Battle Bird Armada is a militaristic group of birds ruled by a long line of Battle Lords. They see the sky as belonging to them and all other races as (literally) beneath them. The current leader is Battle Kukku XV, a classy fellow who is ''not'' someone you want to see angered, and his son Battle Kukku XVI a.k.a. Speedy. The head of their science division is Doctor Fukurokov, who researches and creates the various weapons and technologies the Armada employs. From their enormous flying fortress, the Armada searches for the key to their past and future: the mysterious [[VideoGame/SonicRiders Babylon Gardens]].
As of October 2015, it's been revealed that the Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the rebooted world.
----
* AffablyEvil: Battle Kukku XV is quite well-spoken, polite, and accommodating towards friends and allies. Just make sure you don't get on his bad side.
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: The Battle Fortress, an enormous flying structure that houses the entire Armada and their vehicles.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Turns out that Battle Kukku XV is a master of close-quarters combat and has yet to be defeated hand to hand.
* BadassBoast: In the Eggman's Dozen arc, after Battle Kukku XV single-handedly annihilates a bunch of Dark Gaia monsters and the generator they were sent to disable with explosives:
-->'''Abyss:''' What ''are'' you?
-->'''Kukku:''' '''Perfection'''.
* CombatStilettos: Oddly enough, Battle Kukku XV wears high-heeled shoes. The reboot gave him a slight redesign that downplays them, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Speedy at times. Battle Kukku XV as well in the reboot.
* FantasticRacism: They believe the air belongs solely to the birds (specifically them) and people who can fly by other means like Tails are an abomination.
* KarmaHoudini: Save for their first apperence, they've been getting away with a lot of their actions in the comic such a blowing up New Mobotropolis and almost killing Tails in the old continuity and kidnapping Chip and downing the Sky Patrol in the new one.
* LargeAndInCharge: Battle Kukku XV towers over the other members of the Armada and is nearly Eggman's height. In the reboot he's the tallest member of Eggman's forces, including Eggman.
* MadBomber: Kukku has the same bomb-manifesting powers as Bean.
* MechaMook: In their second appearance, two prototype [[http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Pursuit_Drones Pursuit Drones]] assist Speedy in rounding up the Babylon Rogues. They're very fast and agile and come equipped with powerful EyeBeams, but are somewhat fragile. Both are destroyed, to Fukurokov's consternation and Kukku's irritation. In the reboot they have large armored mechas with extendable arms and drills on their bodies.
* MegatonPunch: How Battle Kukku XV announces his arrival to the Babylon Rogues.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Battle Kukku XV trounces the Babylon Rouges effortlessly and strong arms them back into working for the Armada. He likewise is able to take down Ixis Naugus with little effort (though admittedly, WorfHadTheFlu was in effect for the latter).
* OnlySaneMan: Speedy in some cases, he knows full well a threat when he sees one but his father insists on taking other courses of actions much to his annoyance.
* OverlordJr: Speedy.
* OminousOwl: Dr. Fukurokov.
* PowerArmor: Speedy has an exoskeleton battle suit in the reboot, based on his second battle in ''Tails Adventure''. Does quite well against Sally.
* PowerCrutch: Speedy's flight harness allows him to rival Extreme Gears in speed and agility. Unfortunately, it looks like the bottom half of an eggshell/diaper. In the reboot Speedy wears a full-body jumpsuit and also seems to be older than he was previously.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Wake up, son: it's time for school."
* {{Retcon}}: The Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the reboot. This may be a DevelopmentGag referencing how [[WhatCouldHaveBeen they were supposed to watch over the Land of a Million Lights in the old continuity]].
* {{Revenge}}: While the invasion of New Mobotropolis was mostly for uncovering the Babylon Gardens. Kukku made a special note to have Tails captured for damaging their ship in a previous Sonic Universe issue...so he could just punt him off the side of their ship. [[spoiler: Granted the plan was probably to have him wiped out along with the city but still...]]. Battle Kukku XV likewise declares as such to the Babylon Rouges for the destruction of Babylon Gardens.
* SlasherSmile: Battle Kukku XV is prone to these, but perhaps his best one comes from when the ''Eggman's Dozen'' storyline in ''Sonic Universe'', complete with ScaryShinyGlasses.
* SuspiciouslySmallArmy: In the new time line, one Egg Boss, Abyss, questions how the army can possibly monitor the sky using only a single ship, when she herself does passingly using thirteen to control half the oceans.
* SuperStrength: Battle Kukku XV is incredibly physically strong (one of the top five strongest Mobians), able to easily floor Storm the Albatross with little effort and beat the snot out of Ixis Naugus, as well as smash the top of a mountain with a leaping punch. In the reboot he gets jumped by one of the large lizard-like Dark Gaia monsters, then merely plucks it off of his back and casually ''crushes it into smoke with one hand''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Pre-reboot the mooks of the Armada couldn't hit the broad side of the Death Egg with a homing missile and were laughable opponents. Post-reboot they give the Freedom Fighters a very good fight and even manage to disable the Sky Patrol's engines.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Speedy to Kukku pre-reboot. Their relationship seems to be more amicable in the reboot.
* WorthyOpponent: Speedy to Tails after he manages to beat Fukurokov's mech while he was piloting it. In the reboot Battle Kukku feels this way towards the Sky Patrol, an enemy vessel worthy of an honorable battle.

[[folder: Babylon Rogues]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6f1811d68a1e9383c9c86ced878b2bb1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Wave (left); Jet (center); Storm (right)]]
A group of rogue former agents of the Battle Bird Armada. They seek treasure and riches of all kinds, and also have their eye on the Babylon Gardens.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, they weren't exactly the nicest group around but they were hardly cutthroats and just arrogant rivals at best. Here, they're more then willing screw over anyone if it means achieving their goals [[spoiler: including blowing up New Mobotropolis.]]
* AntiVillain: They're not good guys but not evil either. They're just on their own side and any actions they take is for their own benefit. Everyone else be damned.
* BerserkButton: For Wave, it's damaging her equipment.
* BrokenPedestal: To Speedy who once idolized them. Partly for their betrayal to the Armada and partly because Jet refused to allow him to come along when they started their defection.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Were with the Armada before striking out on their own.
* DumbMuscle: Storm
* {{Jerkass}}: All of them, they may not be evil but they're unpleasant to everybody they meet.
* LackOfEmpathy: As long as they get what they want, they don't care who has to get hurt. [[spoiler: Even if it means wiping out New Mobotropolis. Sonic rightly calls them out for this.]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: During the ''Team Tango'' arc, after getting caught in the blast by Bean's bomb. Wave has enough and drags Jet and Storm off, citing the battle was tearing up their equipment.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Jet naturally.
* WrenchWench: Wave
[[/folder]]
!!!The Zeti
[[folder: The Deadly Six]]
Six of the evilest of the Zeti kind from the ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''. They make their debut in the comic proper in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover as one of the major antagonists.
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Not that they weren't psychos in the first place, but Sigma assumes direct control of them early on in the crossover.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: First they turn on Eggman for Sigma, and then as soon as they've got what they wanted from ''him'', they try to turn on him as well, which doesn't work out so well.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Whenever they get beaten and offered surrender, the Zeti make a creed that surrender is never an option to them.
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Zavok shows up at the end of ''Sonic Universe #75''.
** Their role in the Worlds Unite crossover was pretty much this. [[spoiler: As at the end of the crossover, the crossover's events are erased due to Xander Payne (from the Mega Man comic) killing the Sigma virus in the past before he begins his plans thus keeping the crossover from happening. Eggman has vague memories of it however, including becoming their slave, and quickly decides to hold off on going to the Lost Hex for the time being.]]
* {{Technopath}}: One of their major abilities. In the crossover, they attempt to use it on Sigma, but are stymied by his viral nature and also the trap he planted in their armor. Mega Man, X and the Robot Masters play it straight however. Even robotic artificial limbs are within their abilities making Bunnie useless against them as well.
* TooDumbToLive: Zazz, during the battle outside Sigma's fortress in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover he suggest taking control of the Sky Patrol and crashing it to kill the heroes. Zavok bluntly points out that since the Zeti are on the ship too and they need to focus to keep control over the Robot Masters, that would kill ''them'' as well.

!!Trolls
[[folder: Walter "Wally" Naugus[[note]]Formerly Ixis Naugus[[/note]]]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_walternaugus_resize.png]]
A wizard and recurring villain. He had once saved Maximillian when he was banished into the Zone of Silence, while making him swear fealty to him, making the wizard a legal ruler. He had been trying to take over Mobotropolis twice and failed thanks to Sonic (who he frequently refers to as "Quickster"). It wasn't until after the failed Iron Dominion invasion in New Mobotropolis that, through his magical manipulation, he was finally able to become king -- with a little help from Geoffery St. John.
Thanks to his status as a ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' character rather than a comic-original, he was one of the few (and so far only) major non-video game villains to make it past the reboot. In the new continuity, he's a troll, and Wendy Naugus's brother. His backstory in the new universe reveals that he's now part of a race of trolls that thrived on crystal power. But an unknown event wiped out most of his race and split his civilization into smaller islands. Attempts to revive his civilization were met with many setbacks either from Eggman or Sonic. When Eggman tested his Genesis Wave, he was caught between rifts and lost his powers. He has since then been trying to find a way to re-gain them.
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series, being seen as a powerful enemey by both Sonic ''and Dr. Eggman''.
* EvilSorcerer: Can manipulate the elements to his will and utilizes crystal magic.
* LargeHam: Is this both before and after the Genesis Wave. Even Geoffrey claims that he's "as subtle as a brick".
* LaserGuidedKarma: After trashing Nicole's reputation, manipulating his way to the crown, setting up Elias for an assassination attempt, attempting to brainwash all of New Mobotropolis, and [[KarmaHoudini not getting]] ''[[KarmaHoudini any]]'' [[KarmaHoudini sort of proper comeuppance for it,]] the second Genesis Wave robs him of his magic. And then he gets back his memories of reality before that, and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation ends up going insane from the experience]]. It's rather cathartic to watch.
* HumiliationConga: Gets it in both realities:
** Issue #241 was not kind to Naugus. Already suffering from BodyHorror due to his original personalities reemerging, he's put through a consecutive string of {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}es followed the HatePlague he set up against NICOLE finally waning.
** Apparently, thanks to the reality-warping effects of the second Genesis Wave, the ''first'' one robbed him of his magic, leaving him powerless and reliant on Nicole--the very A.I. that he'd ''framed''--to work on a cure. Then he gets his memories of the ''old'' reality, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation does]] ''[[FreakOut not]]'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation take it well]], and flees the kingdom in a frothing panic.
** Gets another at the end of the ''Eggman's Dozen'' arc when Eggman's forces manage to beat both Wendy and him with Eggman personally knocking him out of the fight, forcing him to use the Crystallized Metal Sonic as a distraction and escape.
** Gets a huge (and well-deserved)one in his final appearence where he's beaten by both Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles just as h regains his powers, losses his powers once more, and is thrown into a G.U.N. prison cell with Amy taunting him.
* SealedEvilInACan: Naugus spent years trapped in the Zone of Silence. He escaped and was resealed several times before escaping permanently.
* SquishyWizard: While he is a peerless sorcerer, he is not a physical fighter in the slightest. In both realites, physically stronger opponents managed to beat him ''with their bare hands!''
** During the Battle Bird invasion, the Battle Kukku beat him down with little effort.
** He loses immediately when Eggman unveils an energy suit that completely neutralizes his magic, ending with Eggman delivering a CurbStompBattle to Naugus.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* AdaptationalNameChange: Given the name Walter in the post Genesis Wave Timeline.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The post Genesis Wave Timeline introduces a new species of Mobian called the Trolls and Naugus is retroactively made a member. Originally Naugus was a completely original organism formed by a fusion of a rhino, bat, and lobster mobian.
* AlliterativeFamily: Him and his sister, Wendy Naugus.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: In the new continuity, instead of an amalgamation of three different Mobians, Naugus is a Troll, a member of an ancient race with an affinity for crystals.
* AssholeVictim: In Issue #252, it's revealed that he lost his magical powers due to the Genesis Wave, and getting his memories of the old reality drives him into a panic that ends up in him fleeing the kingdom. Considering everything he'd done prior to this, it's hard to feel sorry for the creep.
* ButtMonkey: The guy has been through ''a lot'' in the new verse: Getting thrown into the special zone by Eggman and Snively, being beaten by Sonic and Tails when his treachery to King Acorn was revealed, forced to retreat with Wendy after Tails manages to beat her, losing his powers thanks to the Genesis Wave, out and out being rejected by Eggman when he tried to work with him, his plan for a Super Ring falling apart (which we saw at the opening of the new universe) and of course the whole fiasco with Eggmanland. Honestly, despite all the crap he pulled in the new universe, it's hard to not feel slightly sorry for him.
* CosmicRetcon: His origin in the comics as a combination of three separate beings was another writer's creation, so it had to be changed post-reboot (Ixis and the crystal-affinity magic it grants are still around in the reboot however). See AllTrollsAreDifferent above.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He reacts badly when Nicole and Wendy call him "Wally".
* InMediasRes: The new universe opens with him in the middle of a plot of forcing NICOLE to make a Super Ring for him before the shock of seeing the old universe scared him into retreating. Sonic Universe #89 revealed the details leading up to that point: After recovering from the Genesis Wave, Walter found out he didn't have his powers anymore. Desperate, he tried to forge a partnership with Eggman, who laughed in his face before rejecting him, though he'd managed to swipe some of his technology before he was thrown out of the base he visited. With Wendy's help, he had disguised himself as King Acorn in the hopes of using his authority to find a way to restore his power. But Sally got suspicious of how her "father" was acting and had NICOLE look into the matter, exposing him. He managed to force her to do his bidding and was nearly close to a breakthrough when Eggman sent the Tails Doll monster to attack the kingdom in retaliation for stealing his technology, which is where Sonic "arrived" in the midst of after the ''Worlds Collide'' crossover.
* NearVillainVictory: Came very close to this when he manages reform the Master Emerald and use it's power to trap Knuckles, Amy, and Team Dark in crystal. If Knuckles hadn't broken free after remembering Amy's encouraging words from earlier, he would've won.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Quite literally. He takes Knuckles's remaining emerald shards and remakes the Master Emerald. Amy even lampshades he saved them a step in their plan.
* MythologyGag: He refers to Dark Gaia as "Ixis," his original first name.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Attempts this when Amy's on the verge of pounding him (with a hammer he accidentally "enhanced" with his crystals) by changing into Sonic. She doesn't fall for it but decides he isn't worth her time to hit. Letting Shadow and Knuckles (aka ''two of Sonic's biggest rivals'') have the honor.
* TomTheDarkLord: Post-Genesis Wave, his name is ''Walter'' Naugus.
* TreacherousAdvisor: In the new timeline, he served as this to King Acorn.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: An ability of his, not exclusive to the comic either as he did do it in the [=SatAM=] cartoon. [[spoiler: He demonstrates this in the new universe by changing into an echidna named "Nixus".]]
* WorfHadTheFlu: He's not actually capable of ''doing magic'' after the Super Genesis Wave, which leads to his various ploys to try and regain his powers.
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* AbortedArc: Had one going with his becoming king of New Mobotropolis and his growing insanity thanks to his powers. But due to the second Genesis Wave all of that was retconned away and he just up and flees the kingdom due to the above-mentioned shock.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: While he's quick to say otherwise, he was legitimately surprised when his attempt to undo his accidental crystallization of Bunnie's robotic limbs instead reverts them to organic form.
* BodyHorror: The mutations he's been suffering in most recent issues.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He never works for anyone unless he plans to take over their operation at some point down the road. In fact, it's even the reason he exists to begin with: the three original Ixis wizards specialized in land, air, and sea respectively, and collaborated to add fire to their repertoires, but ''all three'' tried to screw one another over to take all the power for themselves.
* TheDragon: To Mammoth Mogul, for a while. He got one of his own in Geoffrey.
* ElementalPowers: He has power over [[DishingOutDirt the]] [[PlayingWithFire four]] [[MakingASplash classic]] [[BlowYouAway elements]], among [[CastingAShadow others]].
* EvilMentor: To Geoffrey.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Hijacks Geoffrey's body to escape his mutations.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: MAYBE. He may or may not have started the great war. If he did, then that would make him indirectly responsible for the original Dr Robotnik's rise to power and therefore makes him indirectly responsible for the formation of the Freedom Fighters.]]
* HatePlague: He has the ability to amplify people's emotions - it's implied this was used to start the Great War between Mobians and [[HumansByAnyOtherName Overlanders]].
** Also almost caused a civil war between Mobians and Robians.
*** And more recently, he's been using this same magic to turn the people of New Mobotropolis against NICOLE.
* HearingVoices: Since Eggman's mucking with reality in the ''Genesis'' arc, he's been haunted by the spirits of the wizards who formed him.
** In Issue #252, it gets worse for him.
* InformedAttribute: He once stated that he was powerful enough to affect the planet's rotation. Even when using a Chaos Emerald, he has never shown ''anything'' resembling that kind of power, at best taking out a giant robot.
* LandSeaSky: He is a fusion of a rhino (Land), lobster (Sea), and bat (Sky).
* ManipulativeBastard: Especially after he regains his mind.
* MilesGloriosus: Upon taking over New Mobotropolis, he repeatedly dismisses the accomplishments of the Freedom Fighters, boasting he can easily protect the city for them. In the end, even with a Chaos Emerald, Naugus proves completely incapable of fending off attacks from both the Battle Bird Armada and Eggman's forces, with the Freedom Fighters doing so while making him look like a fool. Upon becoming a councilor, Isabella Mongoose cites Naugus' failures as one of the main reasons why she wants to overturn Nicole's exile.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Ixis was a fusion between three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster.
* MoreThanMindControl: How his HatePlague power works. As he himself explains when he does so during Mina's concert, there was already fear and paranoia amongst the citizens centered around NICOLE; he just brought it out and blew it out of proportion.
* RestorationOfSanity: After being subjected to Eggman's [[SoulPoweredEngine Egg Grape Chambers]], he was used as a shield by Mammoth Mogul to protect himself from the effects, resulting in Naugus completely losing his mind and being reduced to an idiotic, drooling beast. It isn't until Geoffrey presents him with a Chaos Emerald that his mind is restored.
* SanitySlippage: Has been suffering it ever since Genesis. Even the recap at the beginning of one recent issue describes him as now being "dangerously insane".
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When Geoffrey is put on trial for his role in enabling Naugus' rise to power and seizing control of the Kingdom of Acorn and how he apparently was aiding him for years, he's ultimately found guilty of treason... only for Naugus to immediately step in and use his new position to grant his servant a pardon, a once annual power belonging to the Republic of Acorn's king, effectively allowing Geoffrey to get off scot-free.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: Naugus was created when three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster - were permanently [[FusionDance fused together]].
* WeakButSkilled: How he's an actual threat to Silver, despite the latter having defeated an Enerjak incarnation in a previous story arc.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** When trying to seize the Council of Acorn, he points out that Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, despite having been the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, essentially commit treason by regularly ignoring or defying the Council's orders whenever they don't make the decisions they want, questioning if their actions respect the people they vow to protect. The Council themselves made those same points earlier, and this, combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, leaves Rotor unable to muster a good counter-argument; all he can do is shrug nervously at Sonic.
** Later, upon discovering that Naugus intends to brainwash the Council so he could have absolute power over them, an equivalent to roboticization, Geoffrey balks at doing that, stating that while some lines need to be crossed to make change, Naugus is going too far. Naugus turns his words back on him and calls him out on his hypocrisy, retorting that Geoffrey has no room to lecture anyone on morality considering he's spent his entire life committing treachery by serving him in secret. Geoffrey is unable to retort, and ultimately gives in and allows him to have the ingredients he needs for the spell.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to a combination of the public's mistrust of NICOLE following her previous brainwashing by the Iron Queen (fueled by Naugus' own HatePlague magic) and Naugus' own actions to defend New Mobotropolis from both Eggman and the Battle Bird Armada, his support amongst the citizens reaches the point that they gladly appoint him their king. This ended up coming back at him when New Mobotropolis was rescued by NICOLE and Team Freedom, making Naugus look like a fool and allowing Isabella Mongoose to demand NICOLE's return and sending him on a VillainousBreakdown.

[[folder: Wendy Naugus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_wendynaugus_witchcart_resize.png]]
A fellow troll introduced in the new universe as Walter's sister. Though heavily revamped for the comic, she originates from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'' where she was depicted as a (presumably) human witch known only as "Witchcart".
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Of Dr. Eggman.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After Eggman beats Wally and her and is set to have her executed. She pleas for her life and is willing to work with Eggman to keep it. Eggman, with some prodding from Axel, accepts.
* AscendedExtra: While Witchcart had only a single appearance in the games, she's a recurring antagonist here, and has been given the name Wendy Naugus, made an anthropomorphic troll wizard and the twin sister of Walter Naugus. She commands a group of minions known as the Witchcarters, [[MythologyGag an ode to her original game name.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Looks like a slimmer, female version of Walter, though somewhat more human in appearance.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up at the end of the #276 helping Walter sabotage Eggmanland.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely does see Wally as family and states she helping to get his powers back for exactly this reason.
* InterspeciesRomance: Wendy, a troll, is visibly attracted to Robotnik, a human, making frequent flirtatious comments about and to him. It's a one-sided affair, as Robotnik finds it quite creepy.
* LowCultureHighTech: Unlike Walter, who abhors technology, Wendy is quite the technology enthusiast.
* MythologyGag: In {{fanon}}, her game incarnation is known as Wendy Witchcart.
* WickedWitch: Really going for the motif including a witch's hat, hooked nose, and cape. She even cackles like a stereotypical witch.

[[folder: Wendy's Witchcarters]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_witch_carters_extremegeargroup_resize.png]]
The three bosses from ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'', including Falke-Wulf, Bearenger, and Carrotia. They serve under Wendy Naugus.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bearenger is notable in that, in a world of blue hedgehogs and red echidnas, he is a decidedly normal-looking brown.
* AdaptationNameChange: Focke-Wulf was renamed Falke-Wulf.
* TheBerserker: Bearenger, who is constantly angry when fighting, or is angry because he is not fighting.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: All three of them are under Wendy's mind control.
* CloudCuckooLander: Carrotia has no idea what's going on half the time, preferring to be lost in her own little world.
* TheDogBitesBack: Subverted. They're freed from Wendy's control, and prepare to get revenge on her, but they never get a chance before she retakes control.
* {{Expy}}: Fairly close in personality to some of The Destructix along with other past characters. Bearenger is pretty much Sergent Simian without the morality code and Focke-Wulf is Flying Frog if slightly saner, although Flying Frog's strange talking schtick was given to Carrotia. Carrotia's mental state also resembles Rosy the Rascal's from Moebius.
* {{Foil}}: Falke-Wulf and Bearenger were redesigned and intended by Ian Flynn to serve as counterparts to Bean and Bark. Falke-Wulf is crazy, but unlike Bean his craziness isn't played for laughs.
* HeartBeatdown: Carrotia can blow kisses that launch heart-shaped projectiles.
* SuperEmpowering: In the past, they were incompetent enough that Tails was able to beat this as a child. Now they are a threat after absorbing Dark Gaia Energy.
* ThemeNaming: Two-thirds example. Bearenger is a pun on "derringer", while Falke-Wulf is named after ''Fockewufle'', A World War II aircraft manufacturer. Carrot could possibly be a reference to the fact that carrots were commonly thought to improve vision, and thus was highly incorporated into the diet of pilots.
* VerbalTic: Falke-Wulf tends to descend into a hooting laughter after words that end in "oo". He even laughs by habit when he sleeps.
* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: Carrotia, a fully-grown rabbit who's having the time of her life on an (immobile) ferris wheel and talks like a child.
--> ''"Rocky-rocky! Backsies-forthsies!"''
* WeakWilled: They have spent decades under mind control because they are incredibly easily influenced.
* YankTheDogsChain: It's revaled that Wendy had been controling them for years, when they're finally freed they ally themselves with the Egg Bosses to get revenge on her... only for Wendy to retake control almost immediatly.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: All three of them received extensive redesigns.

!!The Black Arms
A race of evil hive-minded aliens that consume worlds they pass. Following the Super Genesis Wave, the events of VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog have been added to the new timeline.
[[folder: Black Doom]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8daeb1fa7662d428c14d9c98056a4062.jpg]]
The original Hive-Mind of the Black Arms race. Due to a mandate by SEGA, he was only ever allowed to make shadowy appearances and has now been dead since the Super Genesis Wave added Shadow the Hedgehog's game events to the timeline.
* PosthumousCharacter: Only referenced vaguely in the book, and now KilledOffForReal.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Little to no details at all were known about Black Doom.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Black Death]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b3996ca8e57341d1818e5a014ead3a68.png]]
The Black Arms` new Hive-Mind who took over after Shadow killed Black Doom. He plays pretty much the same role as his predecessor did in VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog.
* ArcVillain: Of the ''Shadow Fall'' story arc.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He's ''visibly'' roasted alive by Shadow's [[FantasticNuke Chaos Blast]]. You can even see his charred remains afterward.
* KilledOffForReal
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Since Ian Flynn was barred from using Black Doom due to legal disputes, he was created to fill that void. Notably, Black Doom is still acknowledged, but only in post-mortem.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Introduced and killed off in the same story arc.

[[folder: Eclipse the Darkling]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aa3dd4835b991145453476a9e77a11c8.png]]
Eclipse is a supersolider in the Black Arms alien species and was created by the Black Arms to essentially be their answer to Shadow the Hedgehog.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy
* CainAndAbel: Inverted. He was born after Shadow was already a few decades old, so he's basically an evil Cain to Shadow's Abel.
* TheDragon: To Black Death in his debut arc, but after the death of the former he becomes a...
* DragonAscendant: ...and swears revenge on Shadow and his loved ones.
* EvilCounterpart:
** As stated above, he's meant to be the Black Arms' answer to Shadow. [[WordOfGod Ian Flynn]] even outright confirmed that he is meant to be what Shadow would have been if he was a pure Black Arm.
** His Dark Arms are twisted black versions of [[VideoGame/SonicColors Wis]][[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld ps]], as the Black Arms traveled to the Wisp homeworld to collect the genetic material used to create them (thankfully, they left it in one piece because they were in a hurry).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Eclipse genuinely cares about his fellow Black Arm "brothers", especially Shadow and his Dark Arms breed.
* HiveMind: While the Black Arms operate under this, Eclipse is an exception, as he has free will and clarity of thought to make his own decisions. He can, however, communicate with Black Death and the other Black Arms through the hive mind and command his lesser brethren as Black Death can.
* LastOfHisKind: He's the only real Black Arm left.
* PowerNullifier: His mere presence not only disables Shadow's chaos powers, but weakens him significantly as well.
* {{Revenge}}: Declares such toward Shadow for killing off the remaining Black Arms.
* SuperMode: Eclipse can tap into an inner power to give himself a substantial increase in size and power as well as armor plates. However, for the moment he burns through this power pretty fast, limiting its effectiveness.
* SuperSoldier: He was explicitly engineered to be able to take down Shadow.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Wants this badly with Shadow, seeing him as a fellow Black Arms and super soldier and "brother".

[[folder: Dark Arms]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1dark_arms.png]]
A set of Wisps that were collected by the Black Arms as they passed their world. These Wisps have been corrupted into "Dark Arms" forms, able to meld and add power to Eclipse, much like the Wisps do with Sonic in VideoGame/SonicColors and VideoGame/SonicLostWorld.
* ArmCannon: One bestowable power.
* EquippableAlly: Their entire purpose
* PowerGivesYouWings: One bestowable power.

!!Breeze Media
[[folder: Breezie the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sth270_breeziecasino_resize.png]]
The cunning CEO of Breeze Media, the world's largest entertainment network. She once worked as a double agent for Dr. Eggman, posing as a helpless damsel to gain Sonic's trust.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: While still a hedgehog, she is a fully organic one in the comic compared to her robotic counterpart of the [=AoStH=] cartoon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Was a robot created by Robotnik to distract Sonic in the cartoon, only to turn good. While not completely evil in the comic, she broke off from Eggman to work on her own, her success sometimes through implied questionable means. She is otherwise a neutral character who is more into making profits in her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive media conglomerate]] than choosing sides in a war.
* BreadAndCircuses: She quotes the Latin phrase at Eggman while explaining how he couldn't possibly afford to buy the Chaos Emerald off of her, as with the world literally falling to pieces around them, people will pay through the nose for a good distraction like her tournament.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She's implied to have a hand in plenty of shady dealings.
* DatingCatwoman: Averted. When Sonic and Sally learn that Breezie was hosting the fighting tournament for a Chaos Emerald, Sonic reacts in disgust. His [=AoStH=] counterpart was head over heels in love with her, while the comic has him more focused on saving Tails in a flashback.
* {{Expy}}: She's pulling double duty on this one, filling the same role as ''two'' of the previous comic originals. As far as overall role in the story, she takes over for Mammoth Mogul, being the owner of Casino Park, using the old ''Adventures Of'' badniks as her personal grunts, and being set up as beyond reproach a la ComicBook/LexLuthor. However, she's also the "new" Evil Green Hedgehog, filling in Scourge's spot, at least to a degree. Furthermore, she also bears some similarity to Fiona Fox, as someone whose harsh childhood resulted in her becoming selfish and betraying Sonic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She's able to put up a polite act, and is often playful and flirty with Sonic, but behind it lies a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about making profit even as the planet is cracked open. While Sonic and co. treat her as a FriendlyEnemy, it's made crystal clear that they know what Breezie is really like and do ''not'' trust her at all.
* FemmeFatale: Took this role in her first cartoon appearance, and seems to hold up to it in the comic.
* FriendlyEnemy: Sonic is surprisingly friendly towards her, despite being betrayed by her in the past. That said, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't trust her any farther than he can throw her.
* FreudianExcuse: Her greed and desire to make as much profit as possible seems to stem from an impoverished childhood; [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/9/99/Young_Breezie_Photo.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150607150849 a photo]] of her as a child depicts her as dressed in rags, covered in dirt smudges, and living in a CardboardBoxHome.
* {{Greed}}: Pretty much her sole motivation to which she flat out admitted to Sonic when he called her out on putting Tails in harms way when they first met.
** Gets more pronounced at the end of the "Champions" arc. Due to the ratings of the tournament and the suggestions of her staff, she decides to set her sights to bigger goals namely, what else, [[TakeOverTheWorld controlling the world.]]
* HoneyTrap: In her first (flashback) appearance, she tricked Sonic into letting her accompany him before backstabbing him.
* LackOfEmpathy: In the past, she eagerly helped Eggman with a scheme that endangered Tails, blowing off Sonic's words by openly stating she cared more about her own life and well-being. During the Shattered World Crisis, her main concern is solely how to make a profit out of the fact that the planet is ''falling apart''.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Seeing as she's an {{expy}} of the removed Mammoth Mogul.
* RagsToRiches: From some nobody working for Eggman to the most powerful media mogul on the planet.
* RescueRomance: She exploited this trope to win Sonic's trust as he "saved" her from Scratch and Grounder.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: In the cartoon. Here's she's a completely organic hedgehog, having worked with Eggman to escape what's hinted to be an impoverished lifestyle.
* {{Robosexual}}: [[spoiler:It's implied that she fell in love with Neo Metal Sonic; at the very least, she was visibly admiring him after he revealed himself to her, noting that they were NotSoDifferent.]] In the cartoon, she married Robotnik Jr.
* TheSociopath: Sports shades of this. In past, when Sonic points out how Tails' life and the whole world are at stake, she brushes him off, stating that her own life and well-being are more important. When the whole world is at the brink of falling apart, she is more concerned with making profit out of the whole situation. And when Honey calls her out, she smugly dismisses her. Needless to say, Honey attempts to maintain a calm appearance but once she leaves the office, she is visibly horrified at how uncaring and manipulative Breezie is. The fact she realized this only after she signed DealWithTheDevil didn't help at all.
* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler:She immediately realized that Neo Metal Sonic was an imposter because he was more generous in his negotiations than the real Dr. Eggman would ever be.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: Sorta in her introduction arc, yeah she knew she would lose the emerald sooner of later, but the ratings boost more then made up for it. She's even richer and popular then ever with no one, save those that really know her, the wiser of her true nature. All thanks to Sonic and Eggman whom she played like fiddles. Granted Sonic knew this going into the tournament but had bigger concerns and had to play along. Eggman though not so much and in the end he wound up with his with hired mercenaries and Metal Sonic outwitted and him losing the emerald.
* XanatosGambit: The entire TournamentArc was this - even though she knew ''someone'', good or evil, would get the Chaos Emerald, she came out richer and more popular than before.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who's worked with both Eggman ''and'' Neo Metal Sonic in the past, but in the present, she's the beloved CEO of Breeze Media, the largest media company on Mobius.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The original Breezie looked, well... not a whole lot like a hedgehog and probably more like [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] as a hedgehog-ish thing. Her comic design keeps the basic ''idea'' of her appearance, but puts it very much in line with the normal hedgehog look.

[[folder: Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_ssssss_resize.png]]
Three Badniks who were part of the original Robotnik's Badnik forces. They were made into their own team that was dedicated to capturing or destroying Sonic, but they were such bumblers that they always failed. Though mainstays in their source, ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Scratch and Grounder only appeared in two early comics before vanishing, with Coconuts getting only two appearances as well (though his second was a while after S&G's). After a ''long'' absence they all returned as workers in Mammoth Mogul's casino and headquarters. The three returned in issue #268, with the trio under the employ of the fourth [=AoStH=] character, Breezie the Hedgehog.
* AlliterativeName: The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad.
* BackFromTheDead: Coconuts, who was part of a Badnik group on a secret repair island trying to resurrect Pseudo-Sonic, which was defeated and crushed into a cube by the Forty Fathoms Freedom Fighters. We see in a flashback how he escaped the cube and made his way to shore.
* ButtMonkey: All three, but Coconuts especially. Even in Mogul's employ, he's upset that despite all of his ambitions and plans he's now a "[[IncrediblyLamePun butler monkey]]".
* CompositeCharacter: In the reboot universe, Scratch and Grounder bear more of a resemblance to the Badniks they were based on. For example, Scratch's beak is serrated like Cluck's, and Grounder's eyes are narrow slits that rotate to show expression like his in-game sprite. Coconuts remains the same.
* TheDitz: Grounder.
* EvilLaugh: Scratch's signature "Bah-HA ha-haaaaah!".
* OverlyLongName: The Super Special So...you know what? You get the idea. They're sometimes referred to as the "S6 Squad" for short.
* PutOnABus: Vanished from the comics when it began to get darker and more plot-oriented.
** TheBusCameBack: Returned together after over ''a hundred and fifty issues''.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Grounder's hands can retract and change into a variety of weapons and tools.
* TerribleTrio: They're three goon-bots who always hang out together and couldn't be any less effective or menacing if they tried.
* ThisIsADrill: Grounder's nose and his arms' default tips.
* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Even the comic's captions are unsure what exactly Grounder does at Breezie's casino.

!! Pirates of the Setting Dawn
A group of pirates that were once under the command of Abyss. Once she left to join Eggman and took most of her armada with her. This band was the only one who didn't follow and continue to sail the seas looking for treasure.
[[folder: In General]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They may not be the most moral bunch, but they knew Eggman was way worse and refused to follow Abyss into his servitude.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Literally the last new characters introduced in the series as the main comic and ''Sonic Universe'' were cancelled after their arc was concluded.
* {{Pirate}}: All of then naturally.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A darker variant of this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Captain Shellbreaker]]
[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_captain_shellbreaker.jpg]]
Captain of the Setting Dawn Pirates. An otter.

* EyepatchOfPower: Wears one on his right eye.
* TheLeader: Of his band of pirate.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Subtly hinted that he didn't take Abyss joining Eggman well and wishes to find a way to get back at her. When Deena seems to find a temple that hints at a weapon. He jumps at the chance to claim it despite her likewise reading that there were warnings attached to it.
* VillainRespect: To the Chaotix when they [[spoiler: managed to steal his ship from the crew]], claiming while he hated they betrayed him, thought that they would make good pirates.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mr. Bristles]]
Second in command of the crew. A yeti crab.
* LikeASonToMe: Considers Razor to be one, claiming he raised him like his own son. Though expresses some disappointment for his leaving the crew.
* TheBigGuy: The largest member of the crew and shown to have some strength on him when he stops a temple wall from closing on the crew.
* TheMentor: And likewise the oldest and most experienced member.
* MoralityPet: Essentially one for most of the crew, especially Blade.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Mr. Bristles' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwa_hirsuta species]] was first discovered in 2005, and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/4/48/BristlesConcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161118005740 concept art printed in his debut issue]] features a photograph of a yeti crab, partly to prove that yeti crabs really exist.

[[folder: Blade]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_blade.jpg]]
One of the female crewmen of the ship. A shark and Razor's older sister.
* BigSisterBully: When Razor meets up with her again years after he left, she shows that she isn't the best of siblings, constantly getting into argument over any disagreements Razor has with her. While a first argument is serious (the matter with a medicine ship they raided which Razor disagreed with). A second one while they're exploring a jungle shows how petty she truly is when Razor comments on the nature of the ruins they're exploring while she cites treasure hunting as ''boring'' and admits to actively liking hurting people, much to Razor's disgust.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Razor's Abel. While Razor ultimately grew a conscience and sought to atone for the trouble he brought. Blade continued operating under a belief that the world is cruel, so she there's no reason she shouldn't have to hurt people to get what she wants.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Razor and she were orphans that had to survive on their own. Being the eldest sister, she did all she could to look out for him till Abyss took the two in. However being with a band that encourages stealing and hurting people didn't help her psyche and, like Shellbreaker, she didn't take it well when Abyss left and certainly didn't when Razor jumped ship after an argument on raiding a medicine ship and selling them back to the people it was intended for.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There are moments where she shows she does geninulesly love Razor since he's the only family she has left. But her unwillingness to compromise or listen to reason beyond her own selfishness strains their relationship.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like her brother, she has a very short fuse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She constantly feels like the world owes her something for her tough life and makes excuses to justifiy why she's in the right, even if it means hurting innocent people.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Dive]]
The youngest member of the crew. A lemming.
* AnimalStereotypes: He's obsessed with the sea, spending long periods of time staring obliviously into the water. This is an obvious reference to the old story of lemmings leading mindless expeditions that ultimately end with them drowning themselves in the sea
* NaiveNewcomer: States he joined because he has a love of the sea. From the sound of it, he wasn't with the crew long and not too privy to their more questionable methods.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Along with Mr. Bristles, he's the least antagonistic of the crew.

!! From The Games
!!!The Hooligans
A three-man batch of mercenaries headed by Nack the Weasel.
[[folder: Nack the Weasel]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nack_the_weasel.png]]
An amoral bounty hunter who works for whoever pays him. Usually all business, his dealings with the Freedom fighters have made it personal, and he won't hesitate to take an opportunity to make Sonic and his friends' lives miserable. While he has a good track record against Sonic himself, Nack seems to have women troubles with the FF's ladies...
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* AdaptationalBadass: Although he is still a comical villain, Archie Comics Nack gets close to killing Sonic while his video game counterpart could hardly run away without [[https://youtu.be/Rjx_VcGfXQA?t=29s tripping]] over his own two feet.
* AffablyEvil: He describes himself as a sensible cut-throat.
* BountyHunter
* ColdSniper: He is one of the few Mobians (other than the Echidnas) who uses guns, and is VERY proficient with them.
* CoolBike: The Marvelous Queen.
* IronButtMonkey
* NearVillainVictory:
** He comes ''dangerously'' close to killing both Sonic ''and'' Knuckles with a single bullet from his sniper rifle in issue 271. The only reason he misses is because Metal Sonic drops in front of him ''just'' as he was about to fire. The scariest thing is that Sonic had no clue just how close he came to dying because ''no one even suspected he was there''!
** Similarly, despite his comical rivalry with Sally, he did nearly take her out twice over. The first case was stopped due to Mina TakingTheBullet, and the second was prevented by Amy. His only consolation was that he did at least finally make Sally [[OhCrap take him seriously]] their final face-off.
** In a free-for-all for a Chaos Emerald, Fang tries to use the opportunity to snipe an unknowing Amy, having turned his vengeance onto her over last time, but this time gets blindsided by Cream and Cheese. An frustrated Fang lampshades [[IWasBeatenByAGirl he's having a bad track record with girls]].
* SmugSnake
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* CainAndAbel: According to the Encyclopedia, rumor has it that Nack killed his sister to snuff out the competition.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he and Mogul took snipes at each other in prison, when Mogul rescues them all Nack gives him "one free job" as thanks.
* {{Flanderization}}: One infamous GroinAttack from Sally in the Penders era (in an arc he was [[NotSoHarmlessVillain still a threat to her afterwards]]) solidified him as [[ComicallyLopSidedRivalry a hopeless punching bag]] [[IWasBeatenByAGirl for the female Freedom Fighters]] in nearly [[RunningGag every appearance]] during the Flynn pre-reboot era, a fact he lampshades in one of his last appearances then. Downplayed in the post-reboot era, he still interchanges between semi-competent or a punching bag, but the choice of opponent is indiscriminate.
* GlassCannon: Nack arms himself with a lot of powerful weaponry, but his durability is fairly low. In his debut he outwits and defeats Sonic, ready to take him to Eggman. Then he's blindsided and taken out by a single punch from Knuckles. His later appearences have similar displays of these strengths and weaknesses.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's actually [[NotSoHarmlessVillain proved a problem for the Freedom Fighters]] at times (as he proudly points out, he bested Sonic ''twice'') but he's still for the large part a bumbling goofball.
* InsistentTerminology: Refers to his gun as a "blaster", presumably for the purposes of [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerization]]. Justified in that despite looking like a revolver, it fires energy shots rather than bullets.
* ItsPersonal: While he's usually profit motivated and self preservational, he tends to start vendettas with heroes that offer him especially [[CurbstompBattle smug or humiliating defeats]], commonly a case of...
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: To the point it is something of an escalating RunningGag. After kidnapping Sally, she escaped him with a GroinAttack. He spent several bouts against the Freedom Fighters targetting her in particular for this, though was robbed an ideal revenge by Amy who delivered him a sound beating. He turned his vendetta onto her in a later story, but was blindsighted by ''Cream'' in time.
-->'''Nack:''' ''*shoots frantically at Amy*'' I took out Sonic the Hedgehog! Twice! Why do you broads keep giving me trouble?
-->'''Amy:''' ''*bats away bullets like nothing*'' Oh, stop whining! Sally didn't hit you ''that'' hard!
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As he himself lampshaded, he's managed to rival and even successfully capture Sonic for a client more than once. And yet so many of the lower tier Freedom Fighters ([[IWasBeatenByAGirl often the female ones]]) keep finding ways to take him out like a joke.
* {{Revenge}}: Despite being profit motivated, Nack proves to be very vindictive. When hired against the Freedom Fighters he will often primarily target the one who most recently defeated or humiliated him, and will be sure to rub any rare oneupmanship he scores in their faces. Sonic, Knuckles, Sally and Amy all earned his personal ire over handing him a CurbstompBattle at some point.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Sally for a long while, due to a grudge over a GroinAttack. After being humiliatingly dealt with by Amy after finally cornering her, he turned his vendetta to her for a while.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* TooDumbToLive: Post-Genesis Wave Team Hooligan is hired to get the Chaos Emerald before the Chaotix in Sonic Universe 64 by Eggman. Nack is not ignorant to the fact of what kind of person Eggman is and have been betrayed by him before and once was almost killed by him and yet he still takes jobs from him. Bark seems to be the only person who sees this as a problem. That said, he does justify his decision in working for Eggman by stating that Eggman intended to fix the planet for his own purposes and that it wasn't going to just fix itself. [[/folder]]
[[folder: Bean and Bark]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f2e51e19e129a052ed91fa26583bac1a.png]]
One's an [[TalkativeLoon overtalkative]], more-than-slightly bonkers duck who can [[MadBomber spontaneously generate bombs]]; the other's a [[TheVoiceless mute]], [[TheBigGuy hefty]] polar bear. Together, they cause crime. Usually in the employ of another villain, Bean and Bark don't seem to carry any sort of grudge against the heroes, and are mostly in it to earn a quick buck and have fun. Both characters first made their appearance in the Sonic franchise back in a game called [[VideoGame/SonicTheFighters Sonic The Fighters]].
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Characters
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, Bark was described as a GentleGiant with a kind heart and both him and Bean were grouped up as part of "Sonic's friends" in the [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Fighters#Story story]] of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''. Both were turned into villains in the comic, likely a result of the writer not knowing any better due to their Japanese bios [[NoExportForYou having not been officially translated at the time]].
* AffablyEvil: They aren't particularly malicious and don't seem to hold their various defeats or imprisonments against the heroes much. Bean, in particular, is often very friendly in his... extremely odd way.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In one issue, they switch sides from Mogul to Sally and back.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They are almost entirely comic relief and seemingly regarded both in-universe and out as more of a general nuisance than a genuine threat.
* IronButtMonkey: They take part in a lot of the comic's slapstick, [[TooKinkyToTorture usually with a smile]] in Bean's case.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Both of them (though Bark in particular) are pretty pragmatic when it comes to fights they can't win.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Any time they’re involved its usually to get something to sell off or in general a powerful emerald. They abandoned Cream when she said she couldn't pay them for their help against Metal Sonic.
* RedOniBlueOni: Bean is the red oni to Bark's blue oni.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Cream attempts to get Bean and Bark to help out when Sally and Amy come under attack by Metal Sonic. Instead, they bolt when Cream reveals she can't pay them.
!!Bean-Specific Tropes
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Bean really likes shiny objects. In his debut he has the Freedom Fighters on the ropes until Fiona tosses a set of shiny keys outside and he excitedly runs after them.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get Bean's attention is to say his bombs suck. Charmy exploits this at one point.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bean can be surprisingly devious when he's not busy being totally loopy. [[spoiler:During his fight with Espio in the Chaos Emerald Championship, he acts like he's half-asleep and barely paying attention to his opponent to bait him into getting reckless, then casually trips him up and out of the ring. When Espio realizes that he was being played all along, Bean's only response is a decidedly unsettling PsychoticSmirk.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Bean would be downright formidable if he weren't so [[SanityHasAdvantages insane]]. Best demonstrated when he single-handedly prematurely detonates the Babylon Rogue's entire arsenal in Sonic Universe #23. Even the Rogues lampshade this, thankful he doesn't work for the Armada.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Bean (or perhaps an ancestor) in #50. Their first official appearance is #160.
* FunnySchizophrenia: Bean.
* MadBomber
* MediumAwareness: Bean, post-Super Genesis Wave. During one issue he notices his word balloons are coming out upside down, and tries to stop fighting until they're back to normal.
* TheNicknamer: Bean's called Sonic "Speedy [=McQuickness=]", "Mr. Needlemouse" and "Speedy Cheese"; called Tails "Propellor Butt"; called Amy "Piko Piko Valkyrie" and "Shouty Hammer [=McPain=]"; called Jet the Hawk "Jettinson Q. Hawkington"; called Blaze "Little Miss Flaming Lilac"; and called Eggman "[[VideoGame/SonicColors Baldy McNosehair]]". He also [[ICallItVera named one of his bombs "Jamie-Kendall Duckingworth III".]]
!!Bark-Specific Tropes
* OnlySaneMan: Bark especially in Sonic Universe 64 were he, for the first time ever, expresses having a problem with obtaining an Emerald and working for Eggman. He's right because a) Eggman is known for betraying people he does not need and b) the world is in chaos and Eggman is the last person you want to go to for help.
* SuperStrength: Applies to Bark. ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'' confirms he is the third strongest Mobian alive with Mighty the Armadillo in second place, and Big the Cat in first.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Sort of. While Bean falls in the dead center of neutral and Nack is the most malicious of them, Bark is starting to show some moral problems with working for and/or helping Eggman, a known villain and the most evil person on the planet.
* TheVoiceless: He does get a few speech bubbles here and there, but they're just things like "?!" or a sigh at most.

!!Battle Bird Armada
[[folder: Battle Bird Armada]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_bba_kukkuxv_speedy_resize.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300: Speedy (left); Battle Kukku XV (right)]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see pre-SGW]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7342176bd424a00cad0b9a1a032c73dc.png]][[/labelnote]]
Hailing from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsAdventure'', the Battle Bird Armada is a militaristic group of birds ruled by a long line of Battle Lords. They see the sky as belonging to them and all other races as (literally) beneath them. The current leader is Battle Kukku XV, a classy fellow who is ''not'' someone you want to see angered, and his son Battle Kukku XVI a.k.a. Speedy. The head of their science division is Doctor Fukurokov, who researches and creates the various weapons and technologies the Armada employs. From their enormous flying fortress, the Armada searches for the key to their past and future: the mysterious [[VideoGame/SonicRiders Babylon Gardens]].
As of October 2015, it's been revealed that the Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the rebooted world.
----
* AffablyEvil: Battle Kukku XV is quite well-spoken, polite, and accommodating towards friends and allies. Just make sure you don't get on his bad side.
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: The Battle Fortress, an enormous flying structure that houses the entire Armada and their vehicles.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Turns out that Battle Kukku XV is a master of close-quarters combat and has yet to be defeated hand to hand.
* BadassBoast: In the Eggman's Dozen arc, after Battle Kukku XV single-handedly annihilates a bunch of Dark Gaia monsters and the generator they were sent to disable with explosives:
-->'''Abyss:''' What ''are'' you?
-->'''Kukku:''' '''Perfection'''.
* CombatStilettos: Oddly enough, Battle Kukku XV wears high-heeled shoes. The reboot gave him a slight redesign that downplays them, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Speedy at times. Battle Kukku XV as well in the reboot.
* FantasticRacism: They believe the air belongs solely to the birds (specifically them) and people who can fly by other means like Tails are an abomination.
* KarmaHoudini: Save for their first apperence, they've been getting away with a lot of their actions in the comic such a blowing up New Mobotropolis and almost killing Tails in the old continuity and kidnapping Chip and downing the Sky Patrol in the new one.
* LargeAndInCharge: Battle Kukku XV towers over the other members of the Armada and is nearly Eggman's height. In the reboot he's the tallest member of Eggman's forces, including Eggman.
* MadBomber: Kukku has the same bomb-manifesting powers as Bean.
* MechaMook: In their second appearance, two prototype [[http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Pursuit_Drones Pursuit Drones]] assist Speedy in rounding up the Babylon Rogues. They're very fast and agile and come equipped with powerful EyeBeams, but are somewhat fragile. Both are destroyed, to Fukurokov's consternation and Kukku's irritation. In the reboot they have large armored mechas with extendable arms and drills on their bodies.
* MegatonPunch: How Battle Kukku XV announces his arrival to the Babylon Rogues.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Battle Kukku XV trounces the Babylon Rouges effortlessly and strong arms them back into working for the Armada. He likewise is able to take down Ixis Naugus with little effort (though admittedly, WorfHadTheFlu was in effect for the latter).
* OnlySaneMan: Speedy in some cases, he knows full well a threat when he sees one but his father insists on taking other courses of actions much to his annoyance.
* OverlordJr: Speedy.
* OminousOwl: Dr. Fukurokov.
* PowerArmor: Speedy has an exoskeleton battle suit in the reboot, based on his second battle in ''Tails Adventure''. Does quite well against Sally.
* PowerCrutch: Speedy's flight harness allows him to rival Extreme Gears in speed and agility. Unfortunately, it looks like the bottom half of an eggshell/diaper. In the reboot Speedy wears a full-body jumpsuit and also seems to be older than he was previously.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Wake up, son: it's time for school."
* {{Retcon}}: The Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the reboot. This may be a DevelopmentGag referencing how [[WhatCouldHaveBeen they were supposed to watch over the Land of a Million Lights in the old continuity]].
* {{Revenge}}: While the invasion of New Mobotropolis was mostly for uncovering the Babylon Gardens. Kukku made a special note to have Tails captured for damaging their ship in a previous Sonic Universe issue...so he could just punt him off the side of their ship. [[spoiler: Granted the plan was probably to have him wiped out along with the city but still...]]. Battle Kukku XV likewise declares as such to the Babylon Rouges for the destruction of Babylon Gardens.
* SlasherSmile: Battle Kukku XV is prone to these, but perhaps his best one comes from when the ''Eggman's Dozen'' storyline in ''Sonic Universe'', complete with ScaryShinyGlasses.
* SuspiciouslySmallArmy: In the new time line, one Egg Boss, Abyss, questions how the army can possibly monitor the sky using only a single ship, when she herself does passingly using thirteen to control half the oceans.
* SuperStrength: Battle Kukku XV is incredibly physically strong (one of the top five strongest Mobians), able to easily floor Storm the Albatross with little effort and beat the snot out of Ixis Naugus, as well as smash the top of a mountain with a leaping punch. In the reboot he gets jumped by one of the large lizard-like Dark Gaia monsters, then merely plucks it off of his back and casually ''crushes it into smoke with one hand''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Pre-reboot the mooks of the Armada couldn't hit the broad side of the Death Egg with a homing missile and were laughable opponents. Post-reboot they give the Freedom Fighters a very good fight and even manage to disable the Sky Patrol's engines.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Speedy to Kukku pre-reboot. Their relationship seems to be more amicable in the reboot.
* WorthyOpponent: Speedy to Tails after he manages to beat Fukurokov's mech while he was piloting it. In the reboot Battle Kukku feels this way towards the Sky Patrol, an enemy vessel worthy of an honorable battle.

[[folder: Babylon Rogues]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6f1811d68a1e9383c9c86ced878b2bb1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Wave (left); Jet (center); Storm (right)]]
A group of rogue former agents of the Battle Bird Armada. They seek treasure and riches of all kinds, and also have their eye on the Babylon Gardens.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, they weren't exactly the nicest group around but they were hardly cutthroats and just arrogant rivals at best. Here, they're more then willing screw over anyone if it means achieving their goals [[spoiler: including blowing up New Mobotropolis.]]
* AntiVillain: They're not good guys but not evil either. They're just on their own side and any actions they take is for their own benefit. Everyone else be damned.
* BerserkButton: For Wave, it's damaging her equipment.
* BrokenPedestal: To Speedy who once idolized them. Partly for their betrayal to the Armada and partly because Jet refused to allow him to come along when they started their defection.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Were with the Armada before striking out on their own.
* DumbMuscle: Storm
* {{Jerkass}}: All of them, they may not be evil but they're unpleasant to everybody they meet.
* LackOfEmpathy: As long as they get what they want, they don't care who has to get hurt. [[spoiler: Even if it means wiping out New Mobotropolis. Sonic rightly calls them out for this.]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: During the ''Team Tango'' arc, after getting caught in the blast by Bean's bomb. Wave has enough and drags Jet and Storm off, citing the battle was tearing up their equipment.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Jet naturally.
* WrenchWench: Wave
[[/folder]]
!!!The Zeti
[[folder: The Deadly Six]]
Six of the evilest of the Zeti kind from the ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''. They make their debut in the comic proper in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover as one of the major antagonists.
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Not that they weren't psychos in the first place, but Sigma assumes direct control of them early on in the crossover.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: First they turn on Eggman for Sigma, and then as soon as they've got what they wanted from ''him'', they try to turn on him as well, which doesn't work out so well.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Whenever they get beaten and offered surrender, the Zeti make a creed that surrender is never an option to them.
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Zavok shows up at the end of ''Sonic Universe #75''.
** Their role in the Worlds Unite crossover was pretty much this. [[spoiler: As at the end of the crossover, the crossover's events are erased due to Xander Payne (from the Mega Man comic) killing the Sigma virus in the past before he begins his plans thus keeping the crossover from happening. Eggman has vague memories of it however, including becoming their slave, and quickly decides to hold off on going to the Lost Hex for the time being.]]
* {{Technopath}}: One of their major abilities. In the crossover, they attempt to use it on Sigma, but are stymied by his viral nature and also the trap he planted in their armor. Mega Man, X and the Robot Masters play it straight however. Even robotic artificial limbs are within their abilities making Bunnie useless against them as well.
* TooDumbToLive: Zazz, during the battle outside Sigma's fortress in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover he suggest taking control of the Sky Patrol and crashing it to kill the heroes. Zavok bluntly points out that since the Zeti are on the ship too and they need to focus to keep control over the Robot Masters, that would kill ''them'' as well.

!!Trolls
[[folder: Walter "Wally" Naugus[[note]]Formerly Ixis Naugus[[/note]]]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_walternaugus_resize.png]]
A wizard and recurring villain. He had once saved Maximillian when he was banished into the Zone of Silence, while making him swear fealty to him, making the wizard a legal ruler. He had been trying to take over Mobotropolis twice and failed thanks to Sonic (who he frequently refers to as "Quickster"). It wasn't until after the failed Iron Dominion invasion in New Mobotropolis that, through his magical manipulation, he was finally able to become king -- with a little help from Geoffery St. John.
Thanks to his status as a ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' character rather than a comic-original, he was one of the few (and so far only) major non-video game villains to make it past the reboot. In the new continuity, he's a troll, and Wendy Naugus's brother. His backstory in the new universe reveals that he's now part of a race of trolls that thrived on crystal power. But an unknown event wiped out most of his race and split his civilization into smaller islands. Attempts to revive his civilization were met with many setbacks either from Eggman or Sonic. When Eggman tested his Genesis Wave, he was caught between rifts and lost his powers. He has since then been trying to find a way to re-gain them.
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series, being seen as a powerful enemey by both Sonic ''and Dr. Eggman''.
* EvilSorcerer: Can manipulate the elements to his will and utilizes crystal magic.
* LargeHam: Is this both before and after the Genesis Wave. Even Geoffrey claims that he's "as subtle as a brick".
* LaserGuidedKarma: After trashing Nicole's reputation, manipulating his way to the crown, setting up Elias for an assassination attempt, attempting to brainwash all of New Mobotropolis, and [[KarmaHoudini not getting]] ''[[KarmaHoudini any]]'' [[KarmaHoudini sort of proper comeuppance for it,]] the second Genesis Wave robs him of his magic. And then he gets back his memories of reality before that, and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation ends up going insane from the experience]]. It's rather cathartic to watch.
* HumiliationConga: Gets it in both realities:
** Issue #241 was not kind to Naugus. Already suffering from BodyHorror due to his original personalities reemerging, he's put through a consecutive string of {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}es followed the HatePlague he set up against NICOLE finally waning.
** Apparently, thanks to the reality-warping effects of the second Genesis Wave, the ''first'' one robbed him of his magic, leaving him powerless and reliant on Nicole--the very A.I. that he'd ''framed''--to work on a cure. Then he gets his memories of the ''old'' reality, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation does]] ''[[FreakOut not]]'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation take it well]], and flees the kingdom in a frothing panic.
** Gets another at the end of the ''Eggman's Dozen'' arc when Eggman's forces manage to beat both Wendy and him with Eggman personally knocking him out of the fight, forcing him to use the Crystallized Metal Sonic as a distraction and escape.
** Gets a huge (and well-deserved)one in his final appearence where he's beaten by both Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles just as h regains his powers, losses his powers once more, and is thrown into a G.U.N. prison cell with Amy taunting him.
* SealedEvilInACan: Naugus spent years trapped in the Zone of Silence. He escaped and was resealed several times before escaping permanently.
* SquishyWizard: While he is a peerless sorcerer, he is not a physical fighter in the slightest. In both realites, physically stronger opponents managed to beat him ''with their bare hands!''
** During the Battle Bird invasion, the Battle Kukku beat him down with little effort.
** He loses immediately when Eggman unveils an energy suit that completely neutralizes his magic, ending with Eggman delivering a CurbStompBattle to Naugus.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* AdaptationalNameChange: Given the name Walter in the post Genesis Wave Timeline.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The post Genesis Wave Timeline introduces a new species of Mobian called the Trolls and Naugus is retroactively made a member. Originally Naugus was a completely original organism formed by a fusion of a rhino, bat, and lobster mobian.
* AlliterativeFamily: Him and his sister, Wendy Naugus.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: In the new continuity, instead of an amalgamation of three different Mobians, Naugus is a Troll, a member of an ancient race with an affinity for crystals.
* AssholeVictim: In Issue #252, it's revealed that he lost his magical powers due to the Genesis Wave, and getting his memories of the old reality drives him into a panic that ends up in him fleeing the kingdom. Considering everything he'd done prior to this, it's hard to feel sorry for the creep.
* ButtMonkey: The guy has been through ''a lot'' in the new verse: Getting thrown into the special zone by Eggman and Snively, being beaten by Sonic and Tails when his treachery to King Acorn was revealed, forced to retreat with Wendy after Tails manages to beat her, losing his powers thanks to the Genesis Wave, out and out being rejected by Eggman when he tried to work with him, his plan for a Super Ring falling apart (which we saw at the opening of the new universe) and of course the whole fiasco with Eggmanland. Honestly, despite all the crap he pulled in the new universe, it's hard to not feel slightly sorry for him.
* CosmicRetcon: His origin in the comics as a combination of three separate beings was another writer's creation, so it had to be changed post-reboot (Ixis and the crystal-affinity magic it grants are still around in the reboot however). See AllTrollsAreDifferent above.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He reacts badly when Nicole and Wendy call him "Wally".
* InMediasRes: The new universe opens with him in the middle of a plot of forcing NICOLE to make a Super Ring for him before the shock of seeing the old universe scared him into retreating. Sonic Universe #89 revealed the details leading up to that point: After recovering from the Genesis Wave, Walter found out he didn't have his powers anymore. Desperate, he tried to forge a partnership with Eggman, who laughed in his face before rejecting him, though he'd managed to swipe some of his technology before he was thrown out of the base he visited. With Wendy's help, he had disguised himself as King Acorn in the hopes of using his authority to find a way to restore his power. But Sally got suspicious of how her "father" was acting and had NICOLE look into the matter, exposing him. He managed to force her to do his bidding and was nearly close to a breakthrough when Eggman sent the Tails Doll monster to attack the kingdom in retaliation for stealing his technology, which is where Sonic "arrived" in the midst of after the ''Worlds Collide'' crossover.
* NearVillainVictory: Came very close to this when he manages reform the Master Emerald and use it's power to trap Knuckles, Amy, and Team Dark in crystal. If Knuckles hadn't broken free after remembering Amy's encouraging words from earlier, he would've won.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Quite literally. He takes Knuckles's remaining emerald shards and remakes the Master Emerald. Amy even lampshades he saved them a step in their plan.
* MythologyGag: He refers to Dark Gaia as "Ixis," his original first name.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Attempts this when Amy's on the verge of pounding him (with a hammer he accidentally "enhanced" with his crystals) by changing into Sonic. She doesn't fall for it but decides he isn't worth her time to hit. Letting Shadow and Knuckles (aka ''two of Sonic's biggest rivals'') have the honor.
* TomTheDarkLord: Post-Genesis Wave, his name is ''Walter'' Naugus.
* TreacherousAdvisor: In the new timeline, he served as this to King Acorn.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: An ability of his, not exclusive to the comic either as he did do it in the [=SatAM=] cartoon. [[spoiler: He demonstrates this in the new universe by changing into an echidna named "Nixus".]]
* WorfHadTheFlu: He's not actually capable of ''doing magic'' after the Super Genesis Wave, which leads to his various ploys to try and regain his powers.
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* AbortedArc: Had one going with his becoming king of New Mobotropolis and his growing insanity thanks to his powers. But due to the second Genesis Wave all of that was retconned away and he just up and flees the kingdom due to the above-mentioned shock.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: While he's quick to say otherwise, he was legitimately surprised when his attempt to undo his accidental crystallization of Bunnie's robotic limbs instead reverts them to organic form.
* BodyHorror: The mutations he's been suffering in most recent issues.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He never works for anyone unless he plans to take over their operation at some point down the road. In fact, it's even the reason he exists to begin with: the three original Ixis wizards specialized in land, air, and sea respectively, and collaborated to add fire to their repertoires, but ''all three'' tried to screw one another over to take all the power for themselves.
* TheDragon: To Mammoth Mogul, for a while. He got one of his own in Geoffrey.
* ElementalPowers: He has power over [[DishingOutDirt the]] [[PlayingWithFire four]] [[MakingASplash classic]] [[BlowYouAway elements]], among [[CastingAShadow others]].
* EvilMentor: To Geoffrey.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Hijacks Geoffrey's body to escape his mutations.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: MAYBE. He may or may not have started the great war. If he did, then that would make him indirectly responsible for the original Dr Robotnik's rise to power and therefore makes him indirectly responsible for the formation of the Freedom Fighters.]]
* HatePlague: He has the ability to amplify people's emotions - it's implied this was used to start the Great War between Mobians and [[HumansByAnyOtherName Overlanders]].
** Also almost caused a civil war between Mobians and Robians.
*** And more recently, he's been using this same magic to turn the people of New Mobotropolis against NICOLE.
* HearingVoices: Since Eggman's mucking with reality in the ''Genesis'' arc, he's been haunted by the spirits of the wizards who formed him.
** In Issue #252, it gets worse for him.
* InformedAttribute: He once stated that he was powerful enough to affect the planet's rotation. Even when using a Chaos Emerald, he has never shown ''anything'' resembling that kind of power, at best taking out a giant robot.
* LandSeaSky: He is a fusion of a rhino (Land), lobster (Sea), and bat (Sky).
* ManipulativeBastard: Especially after he regains his mind.
* MilesGloriosus: Upon taking over New Mobotropolis, he repeatedly dismisses the accomplishments of the Freedom Fighters, boasting he can easily protect the city for them. In the end, even with a Chaos Emerald, Naugus proves completely incapable of fending off attacks from both the Battle Bird Armada and Eggman's forces, with the Freedom Fighters doing so while making him look like a fool. Upon becoming a councilor, Isabella Mongoose cites Naugus' failures as one of the main reasons why she wants to overturn Nicole's exile.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Ixis was a fusion between three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster.
* MoreThanMindControl: How his HatePlague power works. As he himself explains when he does so during Mina's concert, there was already fear and paranoia amongst the citizens centered around NICOLE; he just brought it out and blew it out of proportion.
* RestorationOfSanity: After being subjected to Eggman's [[SoulPoweredEngine Egg Grape Chambers]], he was used as a shield by Mammoth Mogul to protect himself from the effects, resulting in Naugus completely losing his mind and being reduced to an idiotic, drooling beast. It isn't until Geoffrey presents him with a Chaos Emerald that his mind is restored.
* SanitySlippage: Has been suffering it ever since Genesis. Even the recap at the beginning of one recent issue describes him as now being "dangerously insane".
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When Geoffrey is put on trial for his role in enabling Naugus' rise to power and seizing control of the Kingdom of Acorn and how he apparently was aiding him for years, he's ultimately found guilty of treason... only for Naugus to immediately step in and use his new position to grant his servant a pardon, a once annual power belonging to the Republic of Acorn's king, effectively allowing Geoffrey to get off scot-free.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: Naugus was created when three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster - were permanently [[FusionDance fused together]].
* WeakButSkilled: How he's an actual threat to Silver, despite the latter having defeated an Enerjak incarnation in a previous story arc.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** When trying to seize the Council of Acorn, he points out that Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, despite having been the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, essentially commit treason by regularly ignoring or defying the Council's orders whenever they don't make the decisions they want, questioning if their actions respect the people they vow to protect. The Council themselves made those same points earlier, and this, combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, leaves Rotor unable to muster a good counter-argument; all he can do is shrug nervously at Sonic.
** Later, upon discovering that Naugus intends to brainwash the Council so he could have absolute power over them, an equivalent to roboticization, Geoffrey balks at doing that, stating that while some lines need to be crossed to make change, Naugus is going too far. Naugus turns his words back on him and calls him out on his hypocrisy, retorting that Geoffrey has no room to lecture anyone on morality considering he's spent his entire life committing treachery by serving him in secret. Geoffrey is unable to retort, and ultimately gives in and allows him to have the ingredients he needs for the spell.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to a combination of the public's mistrust of NICOLE following her previous brainwashing by the Iron Queen (fueled by Naugus' own HatePlague magic) and Naugus' own actions to defend New Mobotropolis from both Eggman and the Battle Bird Armada, his support amongst the citizens reaches the point that they gladly appoint him their king. This ended up coming back at him when New Mobotropolis was rescued by NICOLE and Team Freedom, making Naugus look like a fool and allowing Isabella Mongoose to demand NICOLE's return and sending him on a VillainousBreakdown.

A fellow troll introduced in the new universe as Walter's sister. Though heavily revamped for the comic, she originates from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'' where she was depicted as a (presumably) human witch known only as "Witchcart".
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Of Dr. Eggman.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After Eggman beats Wally and her and is set to have her executed. She pleas for her life and is willing to work with Eggman to keep it. Eggman, with some prodding from Axel, accepts.
* AscendedExtra: While Witchcart had only a single appearance in the games, she's a recurring antagonist here, and has been given the name Wendy Naugus, made an anthropomorphic troll wizard and the twin sister of Walter Naugus. She commands a group of minions known as the Witchcarters, [[MythologyGag an ode to her original game name.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Looks like a slimmer, female version of Walter, though somewhat more human in appearance.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up at the end of the #276 helping Walter sabotage Eggmanland.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely does see Wally as family and states she helping to get his powers back for exactly this reason.
* InterspeciesRomance: Wendy, a troll, is visibly attracted to Robotnik, a human, making frequent flirtatious comments about and to him. It's a one-sided affair, as Robotnik finds it quite creepy.
* LowCultureHighTech: Unlike Walter, who abhors technology, Wendy is quite the technology enthusiast.
* MythologyGag: In {{fanon}}, her game incarnation is known as Wendy Witchcart.
* WickedWitch: Really going for the motif including a witch's hat, hooked nose, and cape. She even cackles like a stereotypical witch.

[[folder: Wendy's Witchcarters]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_witch_carters_extremegeargroup_resize.png]]
The three bosses from ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'', including Falke-Wulf, Bearenger, and Carrotia. They serve under Wendy Naugus.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bearenger is notable in that, in a world of blue hedgehogs and red echidnas, he is a decidedly normal-looking brown.
* AdaptationNameChange: Focke-Wulf was renamed Falke-Wulf.
* TheBerserker: Bearenger, who is constantly angry when fighting, or is angry because he is not fighting.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: All three of them are under Wendy's mind control.
* CloudCuckooLander: Carrotia has no idea what's going on half the time, preferring to be lost in her own little world.
* TheDogBitesBack: Subverted. They're freed from Wendy's control, and prepare to get revenge on her, but they never get a chance before she retakes control.
* {{Expy}}: Fairly close in personality to some of The Destructix along with other past characters. Bearenger is pretty much Sergent Simian without the morality code and Focke-Wulf is Flying Frog if slightly saner, although Flying Frog's strange talking schtick was given to Carrotia. Carrotia's mental state also resembles Rosy the Rascal's from Moebius.
* {{Foil}}: Falke-Wulf and Bearenger were redesigned and intended by Ian Flynn to serve as counterparts to Bean and Bark. Falke-Wulf is crazy, but unlike Bean his craziness isn't played for laughs.
* HeartBeatdown: Carrotia can blow kisses that launch heart-shaped projectiles.
* SuperEmpowering: In the past, they were incompetent enough that Tails was able to beat this as a child. Now they are a threat after absorbing Dark Gaia Energy.
* ThemeNaming: Two-thirds example. Bearenger is a pun on "derringer", while Falke-Wulf is named after ''Fockewufle'', A World War II aircraft manufacturer. Carrot could possibly be a reference to the fact that carrots were commonly thought to improve vision, and thus was highly incorporated into the diet of pilots.
* VerbalTic: Falke-Wulf tends to descend into a hooting laughter after words that end in "oo". He even laughs by habit when he sleeps.
* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: Carrotia, a fully-grown rabbit who's having the time of her life on an (immobile) ferris wheel and talks like a child.
--> ''"Rocky-rocky! Backsies-forthsies!"''
* WeakWilled: They have spent decades under mind control because they are incredibly easily influenced.
* YankTheDogsChain: It's revaled that Wendy had been controling them for years, when they're finally freed they ally themselves with the Egg Bosses to get revenge on her... only for Wendy to retake control almost immediatly.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: All three of them received extensive redesigns.

!!The Black Arms
A race of evil hive-minded aliens that consume worlds they pass. Following the Super Genesis Wave, the events of VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog have been added to the new timeline.
[[folder: Black Doom]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8daeb1fa7662d428c14d9c98056a4062.jpg]]
The original Hive-Mind of the Black Arms race. Due to a mandate by SEGA, he was only ever allowed to make shadowy appearances and has now been dead since the Super Genesis Wave added Shadow the Hedgehog's game events to the timeline.
* PosthumousCharacter: Only referenced vaguely in the book, and now KilledOffForReal.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Little to no details at all were known about Black Doom.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Black Death]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b3996ca8e57341d1818e5a014ead3a68.png]]
The Black Arms` new Hive-Mind who took over after Shadow killed Black Doom. He plays pretty much the same role as his predecessor did in VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog.
* ArcVillain: Of the ''Shadow Fall'' story arc.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He's ''visibly'' roasted alive by Shadow's [[FantasticNuke Chaos Blast]]. You can even see his charred remains afterward.
* KilledOffForReal
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Since Ian Flynn was barred from using Black Doom due to legal disputes, he was created to fill that void. Notably, Black Doom is still acknowledged, but only in post-mortem.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Introduced and killed off in the same story arc.

[[folder: Eclipse the Darkling]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aa3dd4835b991145453476a9e77a11c8.png]]
Eclipse is a supersolider in the Black Arms alien species and was created by the Black Arms to essentially be their answer to Shadow the Hedgehog.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy
* CainAndAbel: Inverted. He was born after Shadow was already a few decades old, so he's basically an evil Cain to Shadow's Abel.
* TheDragon: To Black Death in his debut arc, but after the death of the former he becomes a...
* DragonAscendant: ...and swears revenge on Shadow and his loved ones.
* EvilCounterpart:
** As stated above, he's meant to be the Black Arms' answer to Shadow. [[WordOfGod Ian Flynn]] even outright confirmed that he is meant to be what Shadow would have been if he was a pure Black Arm.
** His Dark Arms are twisted black versions of [[VideoGame/SonicColors Wis]][[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld ps]], as the Black Arms traveled to the Wisp homeworld to collect the genetic material used to create them (thankfully, they left it in one piece because they were in a hurry).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Eclipse genuinely cares about his fellow Black Arm "brothers", especially Shadow and his Dark Arms breed.
* HiveMind: While the Black Arms operate under this, Eclipse is an exception, as he has free will and clarity of thought to make his own decisions. He can, however, communicate with Black Death and the other Black Arms through the hive mind and command his lesser brethren as Black Death can.
* LastOfHisKind: He's the only real Black Arm left.
* PowerNullifier: His mere presence not only disables Shadow's chaos powers, but weakens him significantly as well.
* {{Revenge}}: Declares such toward Shadow for killing off the remaining Black Arms.
* SuperMode: Eclipse can tap into an inner power to give himself a substantial increase in size and power as well as armor plates. However, for the moment he burns through this power pretty fast, limiting its effectiveness.
* SuperSoldier: He was explicitly engineered to be able to take down Shadow.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Wants this badly with Shadow, seeing him as a fellow Black Arms and super soldier and "brother".

[[folder: Dark Arms]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1dark_arms.png]]
A set of Wisps that were collected by the Black Arms as they passed their world. These Wisps have been corrupted into "Dark Arms" forms, able to meld and add power to Eclipse, much like the Wisps do with Sonic in VideoGame/SonicColors and VideoGame/SonicLostWorld.
* ArmCannon: One bestowable power.
* EquippableAlly: Their entire purpose
* PowerGivesYouWings: One bestowable power.

!!Breeze Media
[[folder: Breezie the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sth270_breeziecasino_resize.png]]
The cunning CEO of Breeze Media, the world's largest entertainment network. She once worked as a double agent for Dr. Eggman, posing as a helpless damsel to gain Sonic's trust.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: While still a hedgehog, she is a fully organic one in the comic compared to her robotic counterpart of the [=AoStH=] cartoon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Was a robot created by Robotnik to distract Sonic in the cartoon, only to turn good. While not completely evil in the comic, she broke off from Eggman to work on her own, her success sometimes through implied questionable means. She is otherwise a neutral character who is more into making profits in her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive media conglomerate]] than choosing sides in a war.
* BreadAndCircuses: She quotes the Latin phrase at Eggman while explaining how he couldn't possibly afford to buy the Chaos Emerald off of her, as with the world literally falling to pieces around them, people will pay through the nose for a good distraction like her tournament.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She's implied to have a hand in plenty of shady dealings.
* DatingCatwoman: Averted. When Sonic and Sally learn that Breezie was hosting the fighting tournament for a Chaos Emerald, Sonic reacts in disgust. His [=AoStH=] counterpart was head over heels in love with her, while the comic has him more focused on saving Tails in a flashback.
* {{Expy}}: She's pulling double duty on this one, filling the same role as ''two'' of the previous comic originals. As far as overall role in the story, she takes over for Mammoth Mogul, being the owner of Casino Park, using the old ''Adventures Of'' badniks as her personal grunts, and being set up as beyond reproach a la ComicBook/LexLuthor. However, she's also the "new" Evil Green Hedgehog, filling in Scourge's spot, at least to a degree. Furthermore, she also bears some similarity to Fiona Fox, as someone whose harsh childhood resulted in her becoming selfish and betraying Sonic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She's able to put up a polite act, and is often playful and flirty with Sonic, but behind it lies a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about making profit even as the planet is cracked open. While Sonic and co. treat her as a FriendlyEnemy, it's made crystal clear that they know what Breezie is really like and do ''not'' trust her at all.
* FemmeFatale: Took this role in her first cartoon appearance, and seems to hold up to it in the comic.
* FriendlyEnemy: Sonic is surprisingly friendly towards her, despite being betrayed by her in the past. That said, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't trust her any farther than he can throw her.
* FreudianExcuse: Her greed and desire to make as much profit as possible seems to stem from an impoverished childhood; [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/9/99/Young_Breezie_Photo.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150607150849 a photo]] of her as a child depicts her as dressed in rags, covered in dirt smudges, and living in a CardboardBoxHome.
* {{Greed}}: Pretty much her sole motivation to which she flat out admitted to Sonic when he called her out on putting Tails in harms way when they first met.
** Gets more pronounced at the end of the "Champions" arc. Due to the ratings of the tournament and the suggestions of her staff, she decides to set her sights to bigger goals namely, what else, [[TakeOverTheWorld controlling the world.]]
* HoneyTrap: In her first (flashback) appearance, she tricked Sonic into letting her accompany him before backstabbing him.
* LackOfEmpathy: In the past, she eagerly helped Eggman with a scheme that endangered Tails, blowing off Sonic's words by openly stating she cared more about her own life and well-being. During the Shattered World Crisis, her main concern is solely how to make a profit out of the fact that the planet is ''falling apart''.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Seeing as she's an {{expy}} of the removed Mammoth Mogul.
* RagsToRiches: From some nobody working for Eggman to the most powerful media mogul on the planet.
* RescueRomance: She exploited this trope to win Sonic's trust as he "saved" her from Scratch and Grounder.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: In the cartoon. Here's she's a completely organic hedgehog, having worked with Eggman to escape what's hinted to be an impoverished lifestyle.
* {{Robosexual}}: [[spoiler:It's implied that she fell in love with Neo Metal Sonic; at the very least, she was visibly admiring him after he revealed himself to her, noting that they were NotSoDifferent.]] In the cartoon, she married Robotnik Jr.
* TheSociopath: Sports shades of this. In past, when Sonic points out how Tails' life and the whole world are at stake, she brushes him off, stating that her own life and well-being are more important. When the whole world is at the brink of falling apart, she is more concerned with making profit out of the whole situation. And when Honey calls her out, she smugly dismisses her. Needless to say, Honey attempts to maintain a calm appearance but once she leaves the office, she is visibly horrified at how uncaring and manipulative Breezie is. The fact she realized this only after she signed DealWithTheDevil didn't help at all.
* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler:She immediately realized that Neo Metal Sonic was an imposter because he was more generous in his negotiations than the real Dr. Eggman would ever be.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: Sorta in her introduction arc, yeah she knew she would lose the emerald sooner of later, but the ratings boost more then made up for it. She's even richer and popular then ever with no one, save those that really know her, the wiser of her true nature. All thanks to Sonic and Eggman whom she played like fiddles. Granted Sonic knew this going into the tournament but had bigger concerns and had to play along. Eggman though not so much and in the end he wound up with his with hired mercenaries and Metal Sonic outwitted and him losing the emerald.
* XanatosGambit: The entire TournamentArc was this - even though she knew ''someone'', good or evil, would get the Chaos Emerald, she came out richer and more popular than before.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who's worked with both Eggman ''and'' Neo Metal Sonic in the past, but in the present, she's the beloved CEO of Breeze Media, the largest media company on Mobius.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The original Breezie looked, well... not a whole lot like a hedgehog and probably more like [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] as a hedgehog-ish thing. Her comic design keeps the basic ''idea'' of her appearance, but puts it very much in line with the normal hedgehog look.

[[folder: Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_ssssss_resize.png]]
Three Badniks who were part of the original Robotnik's Badnik forces. They were made into their own team that was dedicated to capturing or destroying Sonic, but they were such bumblers that they always failed. Though mainstays in their source, ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Scratch and Grounder only appeared in two early comics before vanishing, with Coconuts getting only two appearances as well (though his second was a while after S&G's). After a ''long'' absence they all returned as workers in Mammoth Mogul's casino and headquarters. The three returned in issue #268, with the trio under the employ of the fourth [=AoStH=] character, Breezie the Hedgehog.
* AlliterativeName: The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad.
* BackFromTheDead: Coconuts, who was part of a Badnik group on a secret repair island trying to resurrect Pseudo-Sonic, which was defeated and crushed into a cube by the Forty Fathoms Freedom Fighters. We see in a flashback how he escaped the cube and made his way to shore.
* ButtMonkey: All three, but Coconuts especially. Even in Mogul's employ, he's upset that despite all of his ambitions and plans he's now a "[[IncrediblyLamePun butler monkey]]".
* CompositeCharacter: In the reboot universe, Scratch and Grounder bear more of a resemblance to the Badniks they were based on. For example, Scratch's beak is serrated like Cluck's, and Grounder's eyes are narrow slits that rotate to show expression like his in-game sprite. Coconuts remains the same.
* TheDitz: Grounder.
* EvilLaugh: Scratch's signature "Bah-HA ha-haaaaah!".
* OverlyLongName: The Super Special So...you know what? You get the idea. They're sometimes referred to as the "S6 Squad" for short.
* PutOnABus: Vanished from the comics when it began to get darker and more plot-oriented.
** TheBusCameBack: Returned together after over ''a hundred and fifty issues''.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Grounder's hands can retract and change into a variety of weapons and tools.
* TerribleTrio: They're three goon-bots who always hang out together and couldn't be any less effective or menacing if they tried.
* ThisIsADrill: Grounder's nose and his arms' default tips.
* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Even the comic's captions are unsure what exactly Grounder does at Breezie's casino.

!! Pirates of the Setting Dawn
A group of pirates that were once under the command of Abyss. Once she left to join Eggman and took most of her armada with her. This band was the only one who didn't follow and continue to sail the seas looking for treasure.
[[folder: In General]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They may not be the most moral bunch, but they knew Eggman was way worse and refused to follow Abyss into his servitude.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Literally the last new characters introduced in the series as the main comic and ''Sonic Universe'' were cancelled after their arc was concluded.
* {{Pirate}}: All of then naturally.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A darker variant of this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Captain Shellbreaker]]
[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_captain_shellbreaker.jpg]]
Captain of the Setting Dawn Pirates. An otter.

* EyepatchOfPower: Wears one on his right eye.
* TheLeader: Of his band of pirate.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Subtly hinted that he didn't take Abyss joining Eggman well and wishes to find a way to get back at her. When Deena seems to find a temple that hints at a weapon. He jumps at the chance to claim it despite her likewise reading that there were warnings attached to it.
* VillainRespect: To the Chaotix when they [[spoiler: managed to steal his ship from the crew]], claiming while he hated they betrayed him, thought that they would make good pirates.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mr. Bristles]]
Second in command of the crew. A yeti crab.
* LikeASonToMe: Considers Razor to be one, claiming he raised him like his own son. Though expresses some disappointment for his leaving the crew.
* TheBigGuy: The largest member of the crew and shown to have some strength on him when he stops a temple wall from closing on the crew.
* TheMentor: And likewise the oldest and most experienced member.
* MoralityPet: Essentially one for most of the crew, especially Blade.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Mr. Bristles' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwa_hirsuta species]] was first discovered in 2005, and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/4/48/BristlesConcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161118005740 concept art printed in his debut issue]] features a photograph of a yeti crab, partly to prove that yeti crabs really exist.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Next to Dive, he's one of the few decent members of the crew.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Blade]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_blade.jpg]]
One of the female crewmen of the ship. A shark and Razor's older sister.
* BigSisterBully: When Razor meets up with her again years after he left, she shows that she isn't the best of siblings, constantly getting into argument over any disagreements Razor has with her. While a first argument is serious (the matter with a medicine ship they raided which Razor disagreed with). A second one while they're exploring a jungle shows how petty she truly is when Razor comments on the nature of the ruins they're exploring while she cites treasure hunting as ''boring'' and admits to actively liking hurting people, much to Razor's disgust.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Razor's Abel. While Razor ultimately grew a conscience and sought to atone for the trouble he brought. Blade continued operating under a belief that the world is cruel, so she there's no reason she shouldn't have to hurt people to get what she wants.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Razor and she were orphans that had to survive on their own. Being the eldest sister, she did all she could to look out for him till Abyss took the two in. However being with a band that encourages stealing and hurting people didn't help her psyche and, like Shellbreaker, she didn't take it well when Abyss left and certainly didn't when Razor jumped ship after an argument on raiding a medicine ship and selling them back to the people it was intended for.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There are moments where she shows she does geninulesly love Razor since he's the only family she has left. But her unwillingness to compromise or listen to reason beyond her own selfishness strains their relationship.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like her brother, she has a very short fuse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She constantly feels like the world owes her something for her tough life and makes excuses to justifiy why she's in the right, even if it means hurting innocent people.

The second female crewman. A jellyfish.
* CombatTentacles: Has two stingers hidden within her tentacle hair which she uses to incapacitate foes.
* LazyBum: Described as such on her character model.
* NotSoDifferent: With Charmy of all people. She can be rather childish in certain situations.
* TheBully: Shown to be a bit of one by forcing Dive to put in her flavor of cereal when he's making breakfast.
* TheGadfly: Likes to mess with people just for kicks.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Dive]]
The youngest member of the crew. A lemming.
* AnimalStereotypes: He's obsessed with the sea, spending long periods of time staring obliviously into the water. This is an obvious reference to the old story of lemmings leading mindless expeditions that ultimately end with them drowning themselves in the sea
* NaiveNewcomer: States he joined because he has a love of the sea. From the sound of it, he wasn't with the crew long and not too privy to their more questionable methods.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Along with Mr. Bristles, he's the least antagonistic of the crew.

!! From The Games
!!!The Hooligans
A three-man batch of mercenaries headed by Nack the Weasel.
[[folder: Nack the Weasel]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nack_the_weasel.png]]
An amoral bounty hunter who works for whoever pays him. Usually all business, his dealings with the Freedom fighters have made it personal, and he won't hesitate to take an opportunity to make Sonic and his friends' lives miserable. While he has a good track record against Sonic himself, Nack seems to have women troubles with the FF's ladies...
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* AdaptationalBadass: Although he is still a comical villain, Archie Comics Nack gets close to killing Sonic while his video game counterpart could hardly run away without [[https://youtu.be/Rjx_VcGfXQA?t=29s tripping]] over his own two feet.
* AffablyEvil: He describes himself as a sensible cut-throat.
* BountyHunter
* ColdSniper: He is one of the few Mobians (other than the Echidnas) who uses guns, and is VERY proficient with them.
* CoolBike: The Marvelous Queen.
* IronButtMonkey
* NearVillainVictory:
** He comes ''dangerously'' close to killing both Sonic ''and'' Knuckles with a single bullet from his sniper rifle in issue 271. The only reason he misses is because Metal Sonic drops in front of him ''just'' as he was about to fire. The scariest thing is that Sonic had no clue just how close he came to dying because ''no one even suspected he was there''!
** Similarly, despite his comical rivalry with Sally, he did nearly take her out twice over. The first case was stopped due to Mina TakingTheBullet, and the second was prevented by Amy. His only consolation was that he did at least finally make Sally [[OhCrap take him seriously]] their final face-off.
** In a free-for-all for a Chaos Emerald, Fang tries to use the opportunity to snipe an unknowing Amy, having turned his vengeance onto her over last time, but this time gets blindsided by Cream and Cheese. An frustrated Fang lampshades [[IWasBeatenByAGirl he's having a bad track record with girls]].
* SmugSnake
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* CainAndAbel: According to the Encyclopedia, rumor has it that Nack killed his sister to snuff out the competition.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he and Mogul took snipes at each other in prison, when Mogul rescues them all Nack gives him "one free job" as thanks.
* {{Flanderization}}: One infamous GroinAttack from Sally in the Penders era (in an arc he was [[NotSoHarmlessVillain still a threat to her afterwards]]) solidified him as [[ComicallyLopSidedRivalry a hopeless punching bag]] [[IWasBeatenByAGirl for the female Freedom Fighters]] in nearly [[RunningGag every appearance]] during the Flynn pre-reboot era, a fact he lampshades in one of his last appearances then. Downplayed in the post-reboot era, he still interchanges between semi-competent or a punching bag, but the choice of opponent is indiscriminate.
* GlassCannon: Nack arms himself with a lot of powerful weaponry, but his durability is fairly low. In his debut he outwits and defeats Sonic, ready to take him to Eggman. Then he's blindsided and taken out by a single punch from Knuckles. His later appearences have similar displays of these strengths and weaknesses.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's actually [[NotSoHarmlessVillain proved a problem for the Freedom Fighters]] at times (as he proudly points out, he bested Sonic ''twice'') but he's still for the large part a bumbling goofball.
* InsistentTerminology: Refers to his gun as a "blaster", presumably for the purposes of [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerization]]. Justified in that despite looking like a revolver, it fires energy shots rather than bullets.
* ItsPersonal: While he's usually profit motivated and self preservational, he tends to start vendettas with heroes that offer him especially [[CurbstompBattle smug or humiliating defeats]], commonly a case of...
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: To the point it is something of an escalating RunningGag. After kidnapping Sally, she escaped him with a GroinAttack. He spent several bouts against the Freedom Fighters targetting her in particular for this, though was robbed an ideal revenge by Amy who delivered him a sound beating. He turned his vendetta onto her in a later story, but was blindsighted by ''Cream'' in time.
-->'''Nack:''' ''*shoots frantically at Amy*'' I took out Sonic the Hedgehog! Twice! Why do you broads keep giving me trouble?
-->'''Amy:''' ''*bats away bullets like nothing*'' Oh, stop whining! Sally didn't hit you ''that'' hard!
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As he himself lampshaded, he's managed to rival and even successfully capture Sonic for a client more than once. And yet so many of the lower tier Freedom Fighters ([[IWasBeatenByAGirl often the female ones]]) keep finding ways to take him out like a joke.
* {{Revenge}}: Despite being profit motivated, Nack proves to be very vindictive. When hired against the Freedom Fighters he will often primarily target the one who most recently defeated or humiliated him, and will be sure to rub any rare oneupmanship he scores in their faces. Sonic, Knuckles, Sally and Amy all earned his personal ire over handing him a CurbstompBattle at some point.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Sally for a long while, due to a grudge over a GroinAttack. After being humiliatingly dealt with by Amy after finally cornering her, he turned his vendetta to her for a while.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* TooDumbToLive: Post-Genesis Wave Team Hooligan is hired to get the Chaos Emerald before the Chaotix in Sonic Universe 64 by Eggman. Nack is not ignorant to the fact of what kind of person Eggman is and have been betrayed by him before and once was almost killed by him and yet he still takes jobs from him. Bark seems to be the only person who sees this as a problem. That said, he does justify his decision in working for Eggman by stating that Eggman intended to fix the planet for his own purposes and that it wasn't going to just fix itself. [[/folder]]
[[folder: Bean and Bark]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f2e51e19e129a052ed91fa26583bac1a.png]]
One's an [[TalkativeLoon overtalkative]], more-than-slightly bonkers duck who can [[MadBomber spontaneously generate bombs]]; the other's a [[TheVoiceless mute]], [[TheBigGuy hefty]] polar bear. Together, they cause crime. Usually in the employ of another villain, Bean and Bark don't seem to carry any sort of grudge against the heroes, and are mostly in it to earn a quick buck and have fun. Both characters first made their appearance in the Sonic franchise back in a game called [[VideoGame/SonicTheFighters Sonic The Fighters]].
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Characters
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, Bark was described as a GentleGiant with a kind heart and both him and Bean were grouped up as part of "Sonic's friends" in the [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Fighters#Story story]] of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''. Both were turned into villains in the comic, likely a result of the writer not knowing any better due to their Japanese bios [[NoExportForYou having not been officially translated at the time]].
* AffablyEvil: They aren't particularly malicious and don't seem to hold their various defeats or imprisonments against the heroes much. Bean, in particular, is often very friendly in his... extremely odd way.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In one issue, they switch sides from Mogul to Sally and back.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They are almost entirely comic relief and seemingly regarded both in-universe and out as more of a general nuisance than a genuine threat.
* IronButtMonkey: They take part in a lot of the comic's slapstick, [[TooKinkyToTorture usually with a smile]] in Bean's case.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm[=/=]ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Both of them (though Bark in particular) are pretty pragmatic when it comes to fights they can't win.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Any time they’re involved its usually to get something to sell off or in general a powerful emerald. They abandoned Cream when she said she couldn't pay them for their help against Metal Sonic.
* RedOniBlueOni: Bean is the red oni to Bark's blue oni.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Cream attempts to get Bean and Bark to help out when Sally and Amy come under attack by Metal Sonic. Instead, they bolt when Cream reveals she can't pay them.
!!Bean-Specific Tropes
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Bean really likes shiny objects. In his debut he has the Freedom Fighters on the ropes until Fiona tosses a set of shiny keys outside and he excitedly runs after them.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get Bean's attention is to say his bombs suck. Charmy exploits this at one point.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bean can be surprisingly devious when he's not busy being totally loopy. [[spoiler:During his fight with Espio in the Chaos Emerald Championship, he acts like he's half-asleep and barely paying attention to his opponent to bait him into getting reckless, then casually trips him up and out of the ring. When Espio realizes that he was being played all along, Bean's only response is a decidedly unsettling PsychoticSmirk.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Bean would be downright formidable if he weren't so [[SanityHasAdvantages insane]]. Best demonstrated when he single-handedly prematurely detonates the Babylon Rogue's entire arsenal in Sonic Universe #23. Even the Rogues lampshade this, thankful he doesn't work for the Armada.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Bean (or perhaps an ancestor) in #50. Their first official appearance is #160.
* FunnySchizophrenia: Bean.
* MadBomber
* MediumAwareness: Bean, post-Super Genesis Wave. During one issue he notices his word balloons are coming out upside down, and tries to stop fighting until they're back to normal.
* TheNicknamer: Bean's called Sonic "Speedy [=McQuickness=]", "Mr. Needlemouse" and "Speedy Cheese"; called Tails "Propellor Butt"; called Amy "Piko Piko Valkyrie" and "Shouty Hammer [=McPain=]"; called Jet the Hawk "Jettinson Q. Hawkington"; called Blaze "Little Miss Flaming Lilac"; and called Eggman "[[VideoGame/SonicColors Baldy McNosehair]]". He also [[ICallItVera named one of his bombs "Jamie-Kendall Duckingworth III".]]
!!Bark-Specific Tropes
* OnlySaneMan: Bark especially in Sonic Universe 64 were he, for the first time ever, expresses having a problem with obtaining an Emerald and working for Eggman. He's right because a) Eggman is known for betraying people he does not need and b) the world is in chaos and Eggman is the last person you want to go to for help.
* SuperStrength: Applies to Bark. ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'' confirms he is the third strongest Mobian alive with Mighty the Armadillo in second place, and Big the Cat in first.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Sort of. While Bean falls in the dead center of neutral and Nack is the most malicious of them, Bark is starting to show some moral problems with working for and/or helping Eggman, a known villain and the most evil person on the planet.
* TheVoiceless: He does get a few speech bubbles here and there, but they're just things like "?!" or a sigh at most.

[[caption-width-right:300: Speedy (left); Battle Kukku XV (right)]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see pre-SGW]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7342176bd424a00cad0b9a1a032c73dc.png]][[/labelnote]]
Hailing from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsAdventure'', the Battle Bird Armada is a militaristic group of birds ruled by a long line of Battle Lords. They see the sky as belonging to them and all other races as (literally) beneath them. The current leader is Battle Kukku XV, a classy fellow who is ''not'' someone you want to see angered, and his son Battle Kukku XVI a.k.a. Speedy. The head of their science division is Doctor Fukurokov, who researches and creates the various weapons and technologies the Armada employs. From their enormous flying fortress, the Armada searches for the key to their past and future: the mysterious [[VideoGame/SonicRiders Babylon Gardens]].
As of October 2015, it's been revealed that the Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the rebooted world.
----
* AffablyEvil: Battle Kukku XV is quite well-spoken, polite, and accommodating towards friends and allies. Just make sure you don't get on his bad side.
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: The Battle Fortress, an enormous flying structure that houses the entire Armada and their vehicles.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Turns out that Battle Kukku XV is a master of close-quarters combat and has yet to be defeated hand to hand.
* BadassBoast: In the Eggman's Dozen arc, after Battle Kukku XV single-handedly annihilates a bunch of Dark Gaia monsters and the generator they were sent to disable with explosives:
-->'''Abyss:''' What ''are'' you?
-->'''Kukku:''' '''Perfection'''.
* CombatStilettos: Oddly enough, Battle Kukku XV wears high-heeled shoes. The reboot gave him a slight redesign that downplays them, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Speedy at times. Battle Kukku XV as well in the reboot.
* FantasticRacism: They believe the air belongs solely to the birds (specifically them) and people who can fly by other means like Tails are an abomination.
* KarmaHoudini: Save for their first apperence, they've been getting away with a lot of their actions in the comic such a blowing up New Mobotropolis and almost killing Tails in the old continuity and kidnapping Chip and downing the Sky Patrol in the new one.
* LargeAndInCharge: Battle Kukku XV towers over the other members of the Armada and is nearly Eggman's height. In the reboot he's the tallest member of Eggman's forces, including Eggman.
* MadBomber: Kukku has the same bomb-manifesting powers as Bean.
* MechaMook: In their second appearance, two prototype [[http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Pursuit_Drones Pursuit Drones]] assist Speedy in rounding up the Babylon Rogues. They're very fast and agile and come equipped with powerful EyeBeams, but are somewhat fragile. Both are destroyed, to Fukurokov's consternation and Kukku's irritation. In the reboot they have large armored mechas with extendable arms and drills on their bodies.
* MegatonPunch: How Battle Kukku XV announces his arrival to the Babylon Rogues.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Battle Kukku XV trounces the Babylon Rouges effortlessly and strong arms them back into working for the Armada. He likewise is able to take down Ixis Naugus with little effort (though admittedly, WorfHadTheFlu was in effect for the latter).
* OnlySaneMan: Speedy in some cases, he knows full well a threat when he sees one but his father insists on taking other courses of actions much to his annoyance.
* OverlordJr: Speedy.
* OminousOwl: Dr. Fukurokov.
* PowerArmor: Speedy has an exoskeleton battle suit in the reboot, based on his second battle in ''Tails Adventure''. Does quite well against Sally.
* PowerCrutch: Speedy's flight harness allows him to rival Extreme Gears in speed and agility. Unfortunately, it looks like the bottom half of an eggshell/diaper. In the reboot Speedy wears a full-body jumpsuit and also seems to be older than he was previously.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Wake up, son: it's time for school."
* {{Retcon}}: The Battle Kukkus work for Eggman in the reboot. This may be a DevelopmentGag referencing how [[WhatCouldHaveBeen they were supposed to watch over the Land of a Million Lights in the old continuity]].
* {{Revenge}}: While the invasion of New Mobotropolis was mostly for uncovering the Babylon Gardens. Kukku made a special note to have Tails captured for damaging their ship in a previous Sonic Universe issue...so he could just punt him off the side of their ship. [[spoiler: Granted the plan was probably to have him wiped out along with the city but still...]]. Battle Kukku XV likewise declares as such to the Babylon Rouges for the destruction of Babylon Gardens.
* SlasherSmile: Battle Kukku XV is prone to these, but perhaps his best one comes from when the ''Eggman's Dozen'' storyline in ''Sonic Universe'', complete with ScaryShinyGlasses.
* SuspiciouslySmallArmy: In the new time line, one Egg Boss, Abyss, questions how the army can possibly monitor the sky using only a single ship, when she herself does passingly using thirteen to control half the oceans.
* SuperStrength: Battle Kukku XV is incredibly physically strong (one of the top five strongest Mobians), able to easily floor Storm the Albatross with little effort and beat the snot out of Ixis Naugus, as well as smash the top of a mountain with a leaping punch. In the reboot he gets jumped by one of the large lizard-like Dark Gaia monsters, then merely plucks it off of his back and casually ''crushes it into smoke with one hand''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Pre-reboot the mooks of the Armada couldn't hit the broad side of the Death Egg with a homing missile and were laughable opponents. Post-reboot they give the Freedom Fighters a very good fight and even manage to disable the Sky Patrol's engines.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Speedy to Kukku pre-reboot. Their relationship seems to be more amicable in the reboot.
* WorthyOpponent: Speedy to Tails after he manages to beat Fukurokov's mech while he was piloting it. In the reboot Battle Kukku feels this way towards the Sky Patrol, an enemy vessel worthy of an honorable battle.

[[folder: Babylon Rogues]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6f1811d68a1e9383c9c86ced878b2bb1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Wave (left); Jet (center); Storm (right)]]
A group of rogue former agents of the Battle Bird Armada. They seek treasure and riches of all kinds, and also have their eye on the Babylon Gardens.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, they weren't exactly the nicest group around but they were hardly cutthroats and just arrogant rivals at best. Here, they're more then willing screw over anyone if it means achieving their goals [[spoiler: including blowing up New Mobotropolis.]]
* AntiVillain: They're not good guys but not evil either. They're just on their own side and any actions they take is for their own benefit. Everyone else be damned.
* BerserkButton: For Wave, it's damaging her equipment.
* BrokenPedestal: To Speedy who once idolized them. Partly for their betrayal to the Armada and partly because Jet refused to allow him to come along when they started their defection.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Were with the Armada before striking out on their own.
* DumbMuscle: Storm
* {{Jerkass}}: All of them, they may not be evil but they're unpleasant to everybody they meet.
* LackOfEmpathy: As long as they get what they want, they don't care who has to get hurt. [[spoiler: Even if it means wiping out New Mobotropolis. Sonic rightly calls them out for this.]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: During the ''Team Tango'' arc, after getting caught in the blast by Bean's bomb. Wave has enough and drags Jet and Storm off, citing the battle was tearing up their equipment.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Jet naturally.
* WrenchWench: Wave
[[/folder]]
!!!The Zeti
[[folder: The Deadly Six]]
Six of the evilest of the Zeti kind from the ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''. They make their debut in the comic proper in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover as one of the major antagonists.
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Not that they weren't psychos in the first place, but Sigma assumes direct control of them early on in the crossover.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: First they turn on Eggman for Sigma, and then as soon as they've got what they wanted from ''him'', they try to turn on him as well, which doesn't work out so well.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Whenever they get beaten and offered surrender, the Zeti make a creed that surrender is never an option to them.
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Zavok shows up at the end of ''Sonic Universe #75''.
** Their role in the Worlds Unite crossover was pretty much this. [[spoiler: As at the end of the crossover, the crossover's events are erased due to Xander Payne (from the Mega Man comic) killing the Sigma virus in the past before he begins his plans thus keeping the crossover from happening. Eggman has vague memories of it however, including becoming their slave, and quickly decides to hold off on going to the Lost Hex for the time being.]]
* {{Technopath}}: One of their major abilities. In the crossover, they attempt to use it on Sigma, but are stymied by his viral nature and also the trap he planted in their armor. Mega Man, X and the Robot Masters play it straight however. Even robotic artificial limbs are within their abilities making Bunnie useless against them as well.
* TooDumbToLive: Zazz, during the battle outside Sigma's fortress in the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover he suggest taking control of the Sky Patrol and crashing it to kill the heroes. Zavok bluntly points out that since the Zeti are on the ship too and they need to focus to keep control over the Robot Masters, that would kill ''them'' as well.

!!Trolls
[[folder: Walter "Wally" Naugus[[note]]Formerly Ixis Naugus[[/note]]]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_walternaugus_resize.png]]
A wizard and recurring villain. He had once saved Maximillian when he was banished into the Zone of Silence, while making him swear fealty to him, making the wizard a legal ruler. He had been trying to take over Mobotropolis twice and failed thanks to Sonic (who he frequently refers to as "Quickster"). It wasn't until after the failed Iron Dominion invasion in New Mobotropolis that, through his magical manipulation, he was finally able to become king -- with a little help from Geoffery St. John.
Thanks to his status as a ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' character rather than a comic-original, he was one of the few (and so far only) major non-video game villains to make it past the reboot. In the new continuity, he's a troll, and Wendy Naugus's brother. His backstory in the new universe reveals that he's now part of a race of trolls that thrived on crystal power. But an unknown event wiped out most of his race and split his civilization into smaller islands. Attempts to revive his civilization were met with many setbacks either from Eggman or Sonic. When Eggman tested his Genesis Wave, he was caught between rifts and lost his powers. He has since then been trying to find a way to re-gain them.
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series, being seen as a powerful enemey by both Sonic ''and Dr. Eggman''.
* EvilSorcerer: Can manipulate the elements to his will and utilizes crystal magic.
* LargeHam: Is this both before and after the Genesis Wave. Even Geoffrey claims that he's "as subtle as a brick".
* LaserGuidedKarma: After trashing Nicole's reputation, manipulating his way to the crown, setting up Elias for an assassination attempt, attempting to brainwash all of New Mobotropolis, and [[KarmaHoudini not getting]] ''[[KarmaHoudini any]]'' [[KarmaHoudini sort of proper comeuppance for it,]] the second Genesis Wave robs him of his magic. And then he gets back his memories of reality before that, and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation ends up going insane from the experience]]. It's rather cathartic to watch.
* HumiliationConga: Gets it in both realities:
** Issue #241 was not kind to Naugus. Already suffering from BodyHorror due to his original personalities reemerging, he's put through a consecutive string of {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}es followed the HatePlague he set up against NICOLE finally waning.
** Apparently, thanks to the reality-warping effects of the second Genesis Wave, the ''first'' one robbed him of his magic, leaving him powerless and reliant on Nicole--the very A.I. that he'd ''framed''--to work on a cure. Then he gets his memories of the ''old'' reality, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation does]] ''[[FreakOut not]]'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation take it well]], and flees the kingdom in a frothing panic.
** Gets another at the end of the ''Eggman's Dozen'' arc when Eggman's forces manage to beat both Wendy and him with Eggman personally knocking him out of the fight, forcing him to use the Crystallized Metal Sonic as a distraction and escape.
** Gets a huge (and well-deserved)one in his final appearence where he's beaten by both Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles just as h regains his powers, losses his powers once more, and is thrown into a G.U.N. prison cell with Amy taunting him.
* SealedEvilInACan: Naugus spent years trapped in the Zone of Silence. He escaped and was resealed several times before escaping permanently.
* SquishyWizard: While he is a peerless sorcerer, he is not a physical fighter in the slightest. In both realites, physically stronger opponents managed to beat him ''with their bare hands!''
** During the Battle Bird invasion, the Battle Kukku beat him down with little effort.
** He loses immediately when Eggman unveils an energy suit that completely neutralizes his magic, ending with Eggman delivering a CurbStompBattle to Naugus.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* AdaptationalNameChange: Given the name Walter in the post Genesis Wave Timeline.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The post Genesis Wave Timeline introduces a new species of Mobian called the Trolls and Naugus is retroactively made a member. Originally Naugus was a completely original organism formed by a fusion of a rhino, bat, and lobster mobian.
* AlliterativeFamily: Him and his sister, Wendy Naugus.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: In the new continuity, instead of an amalgamation of three different Mobians, Naugus is a Troll, a member of an ancient race with an affinity for crystals.
* AssholeVictim: In Issue #252, it's revealed that he lost his magical powers due to the Genesis Wave, and getting his memories of the old reality drives him into a panic that ends up in him fleeing the kingdom. Considering everything he'd done prior to this, it's hard to feel sorry for the creep.
* ButtMonkey: The guy has been through ''a lot'' in the new verse: Getting thrown into the special zone by Eggman and Snively, being beaten by Sonic and Tails when his treachery to King Acorn was revealed, forced to retreat with Wendy after Tails manages to beat her, losing his powers thanks to the Genesis Wave, out and out being rejected by Eggman when he tried to work with him, his plan for a Super Ring falling apart (which we saw at the opening of the new universe) and of course the whole fiasco with Eggmanland. Honestly, despite all the crap he pulled in the new universe, it's hard to not feel slightly sorry for him.
* CosmicRetcon: His origin in the comics as a combination of three separate beings was another writer's creation, so it had to be changed post-reboot (Ixis and the crystal-affinity magic it grants are still around in the reboot however). See AllTrollsAreDifferent above.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He reacts badly when Nicole and Wendy call him "Wally".
* InMediasRes: The new universe opens with him in the middle of a plot of forcing NICOLE to make a Super Ring for him before the shock of seeing the old universe scared him into retreating. Sonic Universe #89 revealed the details leading up to that point: After recovering from the Genesis Wave, Walter found out he didn't have his powers anymore. Desperate, he tried to forge a partnership with Eggman, who laughed in his face before rejecting him, though he'd managed to swipe some of his technology before he was thrown out of the base he visited. With Wendy's help, he had disguised himself as King Acorn in the hopes of using his authority to find a way to restore his power. But Sally got suspicious of how her "father" was acting and had NICOLE look into the matter, exposing him. He managed to force her to do his bidding and was nearly close to a breakthrough when Eggman sent the Tails Doll monster to attack the kingdom in retaliation for stealing his technology, which is where Sonic "arrived" in the midst of after the ''Worlds Collide'' crossover.
* NearVillainVictory: Came very close to this when he manages reform the Master Emerald and use it's power to trap Knuckles, Amy, and Team Dark in crystal. If Knuckles hadn't broken free after remembering Amy's encouraging words from earlier, he would've won.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Quite literally. He takes Knuckles's remaining emerald shards and remakes the Master Emerald. Amy even lampshades he saved them a step in their plan.
* MythologyGag: He refers to Dark Gaia as "Ixis," his original first name.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Attempts this when Amy's on the verge of pounding him (with a hammer he accidentally "enhanced" with his crystals) by changing into Sonic. She doesn't fall for it but decides he isn't worth her time to hit. Letting Shadow and Knuckles (aka ''two of Sonic's biggest rivals'') have the honor.
* TomTheDarkLord: Post-Genesis Wave, his name is ''Walter'' Naugus.
* TreacherousAdvisor: In the new timeline, he served as this to King Acorn.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: An ability of his, not exclusive to the comic either as he did do it in the [=SatAM=] cartoon. [[spoiler: He demonstrates this in the new universe by changing into an echidna named "Nixus".]]
* WorfHadTheFlu: He's not actually capable of ''doing magic'' after the Super Genesis Wave, which leads to his various ploys to try and regain his powers.
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* AbortedArc: Had one going with his becoming king of New Mobotropolis and his growing insanity thanks to his powers. But due to the second Genesis Wave all of that was retconned away and he just up and flees the kingdom due to the above-mentioned shock.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: While he's quick to say otherwise, he was legitimately surprised when his attempt to undo his accidental crystallization of Bunnie's robotic limbs instead reverts them to organic form.
* BodyHorror: The mutations he's been suffering in most recent issues.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He never works for anyone unless he plans to take over their operation at some point down the road. In fact, it's even the reason he exists to begin with: the three original Ixis wizards specialized in land, air, and sea respectively, and collaborated to add fire to their repertoires, but ''all three'' tried to screw one another over to take all the power for themselves.
* TheDragon: To Mammoth Mogul, for a while. He got one of his own in Geoffrey.
* ElementalPowers: He has power over [[DishingOutDirt the]] [[PlayingWithFire four]] [[MakingASplash classic]] [[BlowYouAway elements]], among [[CastingAShadow others]].
* EvilMentor: To Geoffrey.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Hijacks Geoffrey's body to escape his mutations.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: MAYBE. He may or may not have started the great war. If he did, then that would make him indirectly responsible for the original Dr Robotnik's rise to power and therefore makes him indirectly responsible for the formation of the Freedom Fighters.]]
* HatePlague: He has the ability to amplify people's emotions - it's implied this was used to start the Great War between Mobians and [[HumansByAnyOtherName Overlanders]].
** Also almost caused a civil war between Mobians and Robians.
*** And more recently, he's been using this same magic to turn the people of New Mobotropolis against NICOLE.
* HearingVoices: Since Eggman's mucking with reality in the ''Genesis'' arc, he's been haunted by the spirits of the wizards who formed him.
** In Issue #252, it gets worse for him.
* InformedAttribute: He once stated that he was powerful enough to affect the planet's rotation. Even when using a Chaos Emerald, he has never shown ''anything'' resembling that kind of power, at best taking out a giant robot.
* LandSeaSky: He is a fusion of a rhino (Land), lobster (Sea), and bat (Sky).
* ManipulativeBastard: Especially after he regains his mind.
* MilesGloriosus: Upon taking over New Mobotropolis, he repeatedly dismisses the accomplishments of the Freedom Fighters, boasting he can easily protect the city for them. In the end, even with a Chaos Emerald, Naugus proves completely incapable of fending off attacks from both the Battle Bird Armada and Eggman's forces, with the Freedom Fighters doing so while making him look like a fool. Upon becoming a councilor, Isabella Mongoose cites Naugus' failures as one of the main reasons why she wants to overturn Nicole's exile.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Ixis was a fusion between three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster.
* MoreThanMindControl: How his HatePlague power works. As he himself explains when he does so during Mina's concert, there was already fear and paranoia amongst the citizens centered around NICOLE; he just brought it out and blew it out of proportion.
* RestorationOfSanity: After being subjected to Eggman's [[SoulPoweredEngine Egg Grape Chambers]], he was used as a shield by Mammoth Mogul to protect himself from the effects, resulting in Naugus completely losing his mind and being reduced to an idiotic, drooling beast. It isn't until Geoffrey presents him with a Chaos Emerald that his mind is restored.
* SanitySlippage: Has been suffering it ever since Genesis. Even the recap at the beginning of one recent issue describes him as now being "dangerously insane".
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When Geoffrey is put on trial for his role in enabling Naugus' rise to power and seizing control of the Kingdom of Acorn and how he apparently was aiding him for years, he's ultimately found guilty of treason... only for Naugus to immediately step in and use his new position to grant his servant a pardon, a once annual power belonging to the Republic of Acorn's king, effectively allowing Geoffrey to get off scot-free.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: Naugus was created when three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster - were permanently [[FusionDance fused together]].
* WeakButSkilled: How he's an actual threat to Silver, despite the latter having defeated an Enerjak incarnation in a previous story arc.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** When trying to seize the Council of Acorn, he points out that Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, despite having been the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, essentially commit treason by regularly ignoring or defying the Council's orders whenever they don't make the decisions they want, questioning if their actions respect the people they vow to protect. The Council themselves made those same points earlier, and this, combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, leaves Rotor unable to muster a good counter-argument; all he can do is shrug nervously at Sonic.
** Later, upon discovering that Naugus intends to brainwash the Council so he could have absolute power over them, an equivalent to roboticization, Geoffrey balks at doing that, stating that while some lines need to be crossed to make change, Naugus is going too far. Naugus turns his words back on him and calls him out on his hypocrisy, retorting that Geoffrey has no room to lecture anyone on morality considering he's spent his entire life committing treachery by serving him in secret. Geoffrey is unable to retort, and ultimately gives in and allows him to have the ingredients he needs for the spell.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to a combination of the public's mistrust of NICOLE following her previous brainwashing by the Iron Queen (fueled by Naugus' own HatePlague magic) and Naugus' own actions to defend New Mobotropolis from both Eggman and the Battle Bird Armada, his support amongst the citizens reaches the point that they gladly appoint him their king. This ended up coming back at him when New Mobotropolis was rescued by NICOLE and Team Freedom, making Naugus look like a fool and allowing Isabella Mongoose to demand NICOLE's return and sending him on a VillainousBreakdown.

[[folder: Wendy Naugus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_wendynaugus_witchcart_resize.png]]
A fellow troll introduced in the new universe as Walter's sister. Though heavily revamped for the comic, she originates from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'' where she was depicted as a (presumably) human witch known only as "Witchcart".
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Of Dr. Eggman.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After Eggman beats Wally and her and is set to have her executed. She pleas for her life and is willing to work with Eggman to keep it. Eggman, with some prodding from Axel, accepts.
* AscendedExtra: While Witchcart had only a single appearance in the games, she's a recurring antagonist here, and has been given the name Wendy Naugus, made an anthropomorphic troll wizard and the twin sister of Walter Naugus. She commands a group of minions known as the Witchcarters, [[MythologyGag an ode to her original game name.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Looks like a slimmer, female version of Walter, though somewhat more human in appearance.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up at the end of the #276 helping Walter sabotage Eggmanland.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely does see Wally as family and states she helping to get his powers back for exactly this reason.
* InterspeciesRomance: Wendy, a troll, is visibly attracted to Robotnik, a human, making frequent flirtatious comments about and to him. It's a one-sided affair, as Robotnik finds it quite creepy.
* LowCultureHighTech: Unlike Walter, who abhors technology, Wendy is quite the technology enthusiast.
* MythologyGag: In {{fanon}}, her game incarnation is known as Wendy Witchcart.
* WickedWitch: Really going for the motif including a witch's hat, hooked nose, and cape. She even cackles like a stereotypical witch.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Wendy's Witchcarters]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_witch_carters_extremegeargroup_resize.png]]
The three bosses from ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'', including Falke-Wulf, Bearenger, and Carrotia. They serve under Wendy Naugus.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bearenger is notable in that, in a world of blue hedgehogs and red echidnas, he is a decidedly normal-looking brown.
* AdaptationNameChange: Focke-Wulf was renamed Falke-Wulf.
* TheBerserker: Bearenger, who is constantly angry when fighting, or is angry because he is not fighting.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: All three of them are under Wendy's mind control.
* CloudCuckooLander: Carrotia has no idea what's going on half the time, preferring to be lost in her own little world.
* TheDogBitesBack: Subverted. They're freed from Wendy's control, and prepare to get revenge on her, but they never get a chance before she retakes control.
* {{Expy}}: Fairly close in personality to some of The Destructix along with other past characters. Bearenger is pretty much Sergent Simian without the morality code and Focke-Wulf is Flying Frog if slightly saner, although Flying Frog's strange talking schtick was given to Carrotia. Carrotia's mental state also resembles Rosy the Rascal's from Moebius.
* {{Foil}}: Falke-Wulf and Bearenger were redesigned and intended by Ian Flynn to serve as counterparts to Bean and Bark. Falke-Wulf is crazy, but unlike Bean his craziness isn't played for laughs.
* HeartBeatdown: Carrotia can blow kisses that launch heart-shaped projectiles.
* SuperEmpowering: In the past, they were incompetent enough that Tails was able to beat this as a child. Now they are a threat after absorbing Dark Gaia Energy.
* ThemeNaming: Two-thirds example. Bearenger is a pun on "derringer", while Falke-Wulf is named after ''Fockewufle'', A World War II aircraft manufacturer. Carrot could possibly be a reference to the fact that carrots were commonly thought to improve vision, and thus was highly incorporated into the diet of pilots.
* VerbalTic: Falke-Wulf tends to descend into a hooting laughter after words that end in "oo". He even laughs by habit when he sleeps.
* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: Carrotia, a fully-grown rabbit who's having the time of her life on an (immobile) ferris wheel and talks like a child.
--> ''"Rocky-rocky! Backsies-forthsies!"''
* WeakWilled: They have spent decades under mind control because they are incredibly easily influenced.
* YankTheDogsChain: It's revaled that Wendy had been controling them for years, when they're finally freed they ally themselves with the Egg Bosses to get revenge on her... only for Wendy to retake control almost immediatly.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: All three of them received extensive redesigns.

A race of evil hive-minded aliens that consume worlds they pass. Following the Super Genesis Wave, the events of VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog have been added to the new timeline.
[[folder: Black Doom]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8daeb1fa7662d428c14d9c98056a4062.jpg]]
The original Hive-Mind of the Black Arms race. Due to a mandate by SEGA, he was only ever allowed to make shadowy appearances and has now been dead since the Super Genesis Wave added Shadow the Hedgehog's game events to the timeline.
* PosthumousCharacter: Only referenced vaguely in the book, and now KilledOffForReal.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Little to no details at all were known about Black Doom.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Black Death]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b3996ca8e57341d1818e5a014ead3a68.png]]
The Black Arms` new Hive-Mind who took over after Shadow killed Black Doom. He plays pretty much the same role as his predecessor did in VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog.
* ArcVillain: Of the ''Shadow Fall'' story arc.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He's ''visibly'' roasted alive by Shadow's [[FantasticNuke Chaos Blast]]. You can even see his charred remains afterward.
* KilledOffForReal
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Since Ian Flynn was barred from using Black Doom due to legal disputes, he was created to fill that void. Notably, Black Doom is still acknowledged, but only in post-mortem.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Introduced and killed off in the same story arc.

[[folder: Eclipse the Darkling]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aa3dd4835b991145453476a9e77a11c8.png]]
Eclipse is a supersolider in the Black Arms alien species and was created by the Black Arms to essentially be their answer to Shadow the Hedgehog.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy
* CainAndAbel: Inverted. He was born after Shadow was already a few decades old, so he's basically an evil Cain to Shadow's Abel.
* TheDragon: To Black Death in his debut arc, but after the death of the former he becomes a...
* DragonAscendant: ...and swears revenge on Shadow and his loved ones.
* EvilCounterpart:
** As stated above, he's meant to be the Black Arms' answer to Shadow. [[WordOfGod Ian Flynn]] even outright confirmed that he is meant to be what Shadow would have been if he was a pure Black Arm.
** His Dark Arms are twisted black versions of [[VideoGame/SonicColors Wis]][[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld ps]], as the Black Arms traveled to the Wisp homeworld to collect the genetic material used to create them (thankfully, they left it in one piece because they were in a hurry).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Eclipse genuinely cares about his fellow Black Arm "brothers", especially Shadow and his Dark Arms breed.
* HiveMind: While the Black Arms operate under this, Eclipse is an exception, as he has free will and clarity of thought to make his own decisions. He can, however, communicate with Black Death and the other Black Arms through the hive mind and command his lesser brethren as Black Death can.
* LastOfHisKind: He's the only real Black Arm left.
* PowerNullifier: His mere presence not only disables Shadow's chaos powers, but weakens him significantly as well.
* {{Revenge}}: Declares such toward Shadow for killing off the remaining Black Arms.
* SuperMode: Eclipse can tap into an inner power to give himself a substantial increase in size and power as well as armor plates. However, for the moment he burns through this power pretty fast, limiting its effectiveness.
* SuperSoldier: He was explicitly engineered to be able to take down Shadow.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Wants this badly with Shadow, seeing him as a fellow Black Arms and super soldier and "brother".
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Dark Arms]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1dark_arms.png]]
A set of Wisps that were collected by the Black Arms as they passed their world. These Wisps have been corrupted into "Dark Arms" forms, able to meld and add power to Eclipse, much like the Wisps do with Sonic in VideoGame/SonicColors and VideoGame/SonicLostWorld.
* ArmCannon: One bestowable power.
* EquippableAlly: Their entire purpose
* PowerGivesYouWings: One bestowable power.
* NighInvulnerability: One bestowable power.

!!Breeze Media
[[folder: Breezie the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sth270_breeziecasino_resize.png]]
The cunning CEO of Breeze Media, the world's largest entertainment network. She once worked as a double agent for Dr. Eggman, posing as a helpless damsel to gain Sonic's trust.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: While still a hedgehog, she is a fully organic one in the comic compared to her robotic counterpart of the [=AoStH=] cartoon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Was a robot created by Robotnik to distract Sonic in the cartoon, only to turn good. While not completely evil in the comic, she broke off from Eggman to work on her own, her success sometimes through implied questionable means. She is otherwise a neutral character who is more into making profits in her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive media conglomerate]] than choosing sides in a war.
* BreadAndCircuses: She quotes the Latin phrase at Eggman while explaining how he couldn't possibly afford to buy the Chaos Emerald off of her, as with the world literally falling to pieces around them, people will pay through the nose for a good distraction like her tournament.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She's implied to have a hand in plenty of shady dealings.
* DatingCatwoman: Averted. When Sonic and Sally learn that Breezie was hosting the fighting tournament for a Chaos Emerald, Sonic reacts in disgust. His [=AoStH=] counterpart was head over heels in love with her, while the comic has him more focused on saving Tails in a flashback.
* {{Expy}}: She's pulling double duty on this one, filling the same role as ''two'' of the previous comic originals. As far as overall role in the story, she takes over for Mammoth Mogul, being the owner of Casino Park, using the old ''Adventures Of'' badniks as her personal grunts, and being set up as beyond reproach a la ComicBook/LexLuthor. However, she's also the "new" Evil Green Hedgehog, filling in Scourge's spot, at least to a degree. Furthermore, she also bears some similarity to Fiona Fox, as someone whose harsh childhood resulted in her becoming selfish and betraying Sonic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She's able to put up a polite act, and is often playful and flirty with Sonic, but behind it lies a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only cares about making profit even as the planet is cracked open. While Sonic and co. treat her as a FriendlyEnemy, it's made crystal clear that they know what Breezie is really like and do ''not'' trust her at all.
* FemmeFatale: Took this role in her first cartoon appearance, and seems to hold up to it in the comic.
* FriendlyEnemy: Sonic is surprisingly friendly towards her, despite being betrayed by her in the past. That said, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't trust her any farther than he can throw her.
* FreudianExcuse: Her greed and desire to make as much profit as possible seems to stem from an impoverished childhood; [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/9/99/Young_Breezie_Photo.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150607150849 a photo]] of her as a child depicts her as dressed in rags, covered in dirt smudges, and living in a CardboardBoxHome.
* {{Greed}}: Pretty much her sole motivation to which she flat out admitted to Sonic when he called her out on putting Tails in harms way when they first met.
** Gets more pronounced at the end of the "Champions" arc. Due to the ratings of the tournament and the suggestions of her staff, she decides to set her sights to bigger goals namely, what else, [[TakeOverTheWorld controlling the world.]]
* HoneyTrap: In her first (flashback) appearance, she tricked Sonic into letting her accompany him before backstabbing him.
* LackOfEmpathy: In the past, she eagerly helped Eggman with a scheme that endangered Tails, blowing off Sonic's words by openly stating she cared more about her own life and well-being. During the Shattered World Crisis, her main concern is solely how to make a profit out of the fact that the planet is ''falling apart''.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Seeing as she's an {{expy}} of the removed Mammoth Mogul.
* RagsToRiches: From some nobody working for Eggman to the most powerful media mogul on the planet.
* RescueRomance: She exploited this trope to win Sonic's trust as he "saved" her from Scratch and Grounder.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: In the cartoon. Here's she's a completely organic hedgehog, having worked with Eggman to escape what's hinted to be an impoverished lifestyle.
* {{Robosexual}}: [[spoiler:It's implied that she fell in love with Neo Metal Sonic; at the very least, she was visibly admiring him after he revealed himself to her, noting that they were NotSoDifferent.]] In the cartoon, she married Robotnik Jr.
* TheSociopath: Sports shades of this. In past, when Sonic points out how Tails' life and the whole world are at stake, she brushes him off, stating that her own life and well-being are more important. When the whole world is at the brink of falling apart, she is more concerned with making profit out of the whole situation. And when Honey calls her out, she smugly dismisses her. Needless to say, Honey attempts to maintain a calm appearance but once she leaves the office, she is visibly horrified at how uncaring and manipulative Breezie is. The fact she realized this only after she signed DealWithTheDevil didn't help at all.
* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler:She immediately realized that Neo Metal Sonic was an imposter because he was more generous in his negotiations than the real Dr. Eggman would ever be.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: Sorta in her introduction arc, yeah she knew she would lose the emerald sooner of later, but the ratings boost more then made up for it. She's even richer and popular then ever with no one, save those that really know her, the wiser of her true nature. All thanks to Sonic and Eggman whom she played like fiddles. Granted Sonic knew this going into the tournament but had bigger concerns and had to play along. Eggman though not so much and in the end he wound up with his with hired mercenaries and Metal Sonic outwitted and him losing the emerald.
* XanatosGambit: The entire TournamentArc was this - even though she knew ''someone'', good or evil, would get the Chaos Emerald, she came out richer and more popular than before.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who's worked with both Eggman ''and'' Neo Metal Sonic in the past, but in the present, she's the beloved CEO of Breeze Media, the largest media company on Mobius.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The original Breezie looked, well... not a whole lot like a hedgehog and probably more like [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] as a hedgehog-ish thing. Her comic design keeps the basic ''idea'' of her appearance, but puts it very much in line with the normal hedgehog look.

[[folder: Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_ssssss_resize.png]]
Three Badniks who were part of the original Robotnik's Badnik forces. They were made into their own team that was dedicated to capturing or destroying Sonic, but they were such bumblers that they always failed. Though mainstays in their source, ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Scratch and Grounder only appeared in two early comics before vanishing, with Coconuts getting only two appearances as well (though his second was a while after S&G's). After a ''long'' absence they all returned as workers in Mammoth Mogul's casino and headquarters. The three returned in issue #268, with the trio under the employ of the fourth [=AoStH=] character, Breezie the Hedgehog.
* AlliterativeName: The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad.
* BackFromTheDead: Coconuts, who was part of a Badnik group on a secret repair island trying to resurrect Pseudo-Sonic, which was defeated and crushed into a cube by the Forty Fathoms Freedom Fighters. We see in a flashback how he escaped the cube and made his way to shore.
* ButtMonkey: All three, but Coconuts especially. Even in Mogul's employ, he's upset that despite all of his ambitions and plans he's now a "[[IncrediblyLamePun butler monkey]]".
* CompositeCharacter: In the reboot universe, Scratch and Grounder bear more of a resemblance to the Badniks they were based on. For example, Scratch's beak is serrated like Cluck's, and Grounder's eyes are narrow slits that rotate to show expression like his in-game sprite. Coconuts remains the same.
* TheDitz: Grounder.
* EvilLaugh: Scratch's signature "Bah-HA ha-haaaaah!".
* OverlyLongName: The Super Special So...you know what? You get the idea. They're sometimes referred to as the "S6 Squad" for short.
* PutOnABus: Vanished from the comics when it began to get darker and more plot-oriented.
** TheBusCameBack: Returned together after over ''a hundred and fifty issues''.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Grounder's hands can retract and change into a variety of weapons and tools.
* TerribleTrio: They're three goon-bots who always hang out together and couldn't be any less effective or menacing if they tried.
* ThisIsADrill: Grounder's nose and his arms' default tips.
* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Even the comic's captions are unsure what exactly Grounder does at Breezie's casino.

!! Pirates of the Setting Dawn
A group of pirates that were once under the command of Abyss. Once she left to join Eggman and took most of her armada with her. This band was the only one who didn't follow and continue to sail the seas looking for treasure.
[[folder: In General]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They may not be the most moral bunch, but they knew Eggman was way worse and refused to follow Abyss into his servitude.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Literally the last new characters introduced in the series as the main comic and ''Sonic Universe'' were cancelled after their arc was concluded.
* {{Pirate}}: All of then naturally.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A darker variant of this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Captain Shellbreaker]]
[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_captain_shellbreaker.jpg]]
Captain of the Setting Dawn Pirates. An otter.
* BerserkButton: Traitors. Abyss leaving really left a mark on him and he likewise wasn't fond of Razor likewise abandoning the crew either.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears one on his right eye.
* TheLeader: Of his band of pirate.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Subtly hinted that he didn't take Abyss joining Eggman well and wishes to find a way to get back at her. When Deena seems to find a temple that hints at a weapon. He jumps at the chance to claim it despite her likewise reading that there were warnings attached to it.
* VillainRespect: To the Chaotix when they [[spoiler: managed to steal his ship from the crew]], claiming while he hated they betrayed him, thought that they would make good pirates.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mr. Bristles]]
Second in command of the crew. A yeti crab.
* LikeASonToMe: Considers Razor to be one, claiming he raised him like his own son. Though expresses some disappointment for his leaving the crew.
* TheBigGuy: The largest member of the crew and shown to have some strength on him when he stops a temple wall from closing on the crew.
* TheMentor: And likewise the oldest and most experienced member.
* MoralityPet: Essentially one for most of the crew, especially Blade.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Mr. Bristles' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwa_hirsuta species]] was first discovered in 2005, and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/4/48/BristlesConcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161118005740 concept art printed in his debut issue]] features a photograph of a yeti crab, partly to prove that yeti crabs really exist.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Next to Dive, he's one of the few decent members of the crew.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Blade]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_blade.jpg]]
One of the female crewmen of the ship. A shark and Razor's older sister.
* BigSisterBully: When Razor meets up with her again years after he left, she shows that she isn't the best of siblings, constantly getting into argument over any disagreements Razor has with her. While a first argument is serious (the matter with a medicine ship they raided which Razor disagreed with). A second one while they're exploring a jungle shows how petty she truly is when Razor comments on the nature of the ruins they're exploring while she cites treasure hunting as ''boring'' and admits to actively liking hurting people, much to Razor's disgust.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Razor's Abel. While Razor ultimately grew a conscience and sought to atone for the trouble he brought. Blade continued operating under a belief that the world is cruel, so she there's no reason she shouldn't have to hurt people to get what she wants.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Razor and she were orphans that had to survive on their own. Being the eldest sister, she did all she could to look out for him till Abyss took the two in. However being with a band that encourages stealing and hurting people didn't help her psyche and, like Shellbreaker, she didn't take it well when Abyss left and certainly didn't when Razor jumped ship after an argument on raiding a medicine ship and selling them back to the people it was intended for.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There are moments where she shows she does geninulesly love Razor since he's the only family she has left. But her unwillingness to compromise or listen to reason beyond her own selfishness strains their relationship.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like her brother, she has a very short fuse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She constantly feels like the world owes her something for her tough life and makes excuses to justifiy why she's in the right, even if it means hurting innocent people.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Opal]]
[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_opal.jpg]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Dive]]
The youngest member of the crew. A lemming.
* AnimalStereotypes: He's obsessed with the sea, spending long periods of time staring obliviously into the water. This is an obvious reference to the old story of lemmings leading mindless expeditions that ultimately end with them drowning themselves in the sea
* NaiveNewcomer: States he joined because he has a love of the sea. From the sound of it, he wasn't with the crew long and not too privy to their more questionable methods.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Along with Mr. Bristles, he's the least antagonistic of the crew.

* VillainHasAPoint: When trying to seize the Council of Acorn, he points out that Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, despite having been the ones to elect them in charge in the first place to keep order, essentially commit treason by regularly ignoring or defying the Council's orders whenever they don't make the decisions they want, questioning if their actions respect the people they vow to protect. The Council themselves made those same points earlier, and this, combined with the Freedom Fighters' recent number of casualties and bad decisions against the Iron Dominion damaging the public's trust in them, leaves Rotor unable to muster a good counter-argument; all he can do is shrug nervously at Sonic.

[[folder: Walter "Wally" Naugus[[note]]Formerly Ixis Naugus[[/note]]]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_walternaugus_resize.png]]
A wizard and recurring villain. He had once saved Maximillian when he was banished into the Zone of Silence, while making him swear fealty to him, making the wizard a legal ruler. He had been trying to take over Mobotropolis twice and failed thanks to Sonic (who he frequently refers to as "Quickster"). It wasn't until after the failed Iron Dominion invasion in New Mobotropolis that, through his magical manipulation, he was finally able to become king -- with a little help from Geoffery St. John.
Thanks to his status as a ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' character rather than a comic-original, he was one of the few (and so far only) major non-video game villains to make it past the reboot. In the new continuity, he's a troll, and Wendy Naugus's brother. His backstory in the new universe reveals that he's now part of a race of trolls that thrived on crystal power. But an unknown event wiped out most of his race and split his civilization into smaller islands. Attempts to revive his civilization were met with many setbacks either from Eggman or Sonic. When Eggman tested his Genesis Wave, he was caught between rifts and lost his powers. He has since then been trying to find a way to re-gain them.
----
!!Tropes Applying to Both Versions
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series, being seen as a powerful enemey by both Sonic ''and Dr. Eggman''.
* EvilSorcerer: Can manipulate the elements to his will and utilizes crystal magic.
* LargeHam: Is this both before and after the Genesis Wave. Even Geoffrey claims that he's "as subtle as a brick".
* LaserGuidedKarma: After trashing Nicole's reputation, manipulating his way to the crown, setting up Elias for an assassination attempt, attempting to brainwash all of New Mobotropolis, and [[KarmaHoudini not getting]] ''[[KarmaHoudini any]]'' [[KarmaHoudini sort of proper comeuppance for it,]] the second Genesis Wave robs him of his magic. And then he gets back his memories of reality before that, and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation ends up going insane from the experience]]. It's rather cathartic to watch.
* SquishyWizard: While he is a peerless sorcerer, he is not a physical fighter in the slightest. In both realites, physically stronger opponents managed to beat him ''with theirbare hands!''
** During the Battle Burd invasion, the Battle Kukku beat him down with little effort.
** He loses immediately when Eggman unveils an energy suit that completely neutralizes his magic, ending with Eggman delivering a CurbStompBattle to Naugus.
* HumiliationConga: Gets it in both realities:
** Issue #241 was not kind to Naugus. Already suffering from BodyHorror due to his original personalities reemerging, he's put through a consecutive string of {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}es followed the HatePlague he set up against NICOLE finally waning.
** Apparently, thanks to the reality-warping effects of the second Genesis Wave, the ''first'' one robbed him of his magic, leaving him powerless and reliant on Nicole--the very A.I. that he'd ''framed''--to work on a cure. Then he gets his memories of the ''old'' reality, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation does]] ''[[FreakOut not]]'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation take it well]], and flees the kingdom in a frothing panic.
** Gets another at the end of the ''Eggman's Dozen'' arc when Eggman's forces manage to beat both Wendy and him with Eggman personally knocking him out of the fight, forcing him to use the Crystallized Metal Sonic as a distraction and escape.
** Gets a huge (and well-deserved)one in his final appearence where he's beaten by both Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles just as h regains his powers, losses his powers once more, and is thrown into a G.U.N. prison cell with Amy taunting him.
* SealedEvilInACan: Naugus spent years trapped in the Zone of Silence. He escaped and was resealed several times before escaping permanently.
!!Post-Reboot Tropes
* AdaptationalNameChange: Given the name Walter in the post Genesis Wave Timeline.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The post Genesis Wave Timeline introduces a new species of Mobian called the Trolls and Naugus is retroactively made a member. Originally Naugus was a completely original organism formed by a fusion of a rhino, bat, and lobster mobian.
* AlliterativeFamily: Him and his sister, Wendy Naugus.
* AllTrollsAreDifferent: In the new continuity, instead of an amalgamation of three different Mobians, Naugus is a Troll, a member of an ancient race with an affinity for crystals.
* AssholeVictim: In Issue #252, it's revealed that he lost his magical powers due to the Genesis Wave, and getting his memories of the old reality drives him into a panic that ends up in him fleeing the kingdom. Considering everything he'd done prior to this, it's hard to feel sorry for the creep.
* ButtMonkey: The guy has been through ''a lot'' in the new verse: Getting thrown into the special zone by Eggman and Snively, being beaten by Sonic and Tails when his treachery to King Acorn was revealed, forced to retreat with Wendy after Tails manages to beat her, losing his powers thanks to the Genesis Wave, out and out being rejected by Eggman when he tried to work with him, his plan for a Super Ring falling apart (which we saw at the opening of the new universe) and of course the whole fiasco with Eggmanland. Honestly, despite all the crap he pulled in the new universe, it's hard to not feel slightly sorry for him.
* CosmicRetcon: His origin in the comics as a combination of three separate beings was another writer's creation, so it had to be changed post-reboot (Ixis and the crystal-affinity magic it grants are still around in the reboot however). See AllTrollsAreDifferent above.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He reacts badly when Nicole and Wendy call him "Wally".
* InMediasRes: The new universe opens with him in the middle of a plot of forcing NICOLE to make a Super Ring for him before the shock of seeing the old universe scared him into retreating. Sonic Universe #89 revealed the details leading up to that point: After recovering from the Genesis Wave, Walter found out he didn't have his powers anymore. Desperate, he tried to forge a partnership with Eggman, who laughed in his face before rejecting him, though he'd managed to swipe some of his technology before he was thrown out of the base he visited. With Wendy's help, he had disguised himself as King Acorn in the hopes of using his authority to find a way to restore his power. But Sally got suspicious of how her "father" was acting and had NICOLE look into the matter, exposing him. He managed to force her to do his bidding and was nearly close to a breakthrough when Eggman sent the Tails Doll monster to attack the kingdom in retaliation for stealing his technology, which is where Sonic "arrived" in the midst of after the ''Worlds Collide'' crossover.
* NearVillainVictory: Came very close to this when he manages reform the Master Emerald and use it's power to trap Knuckles, Amy, and Team Dark in crystal. If Knuckles hadn't broken free after remembering Amy's encouraging words from earlier, he would've won.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Quite literally. He takes Knuckles's remaining emerald shards and remakes the Master Emerald. Amy even lampshades he saved them a step in their plan.
* MythologyGag: He refers to Dark Gaia as "Ixis," his original first name.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Attempts this when Amy's on the verge of pounding him (with a hammer he accidentally "enhanced" with his crystals) by changing into Sonic. She doesn't fall for it but decides he isn't worth her time to hit. Letting Shadow and Knuckles (aka ''two of Sonic's biggest rivals'') have the honor.
* TomTheDarkLord: Post-Genesis Wave, his name is ''Walter'' Naugus.
* TreacherousAdvisor: In the new timeline, he served as this to King Acorn.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: An ability of his, not exclusive to the comic either as he did do it in the [=SatAM=] cartoon. [[spoiler: He demonstrates this in the new universe by changing into an echidna named "Nixus".]]
WolfHadTheFlu: He's not actually capable of ''doing magic'' after the Super Genesis Wave, which leads to his various ploys to try and regain his powers.
!!Pre-Reboot Tropes
* AbortedArc: Had one going with his becoming king of New Mobotropolis and his growing insanity thanks to his powers. But due to the second Genesis Wave all of that was retconned away and he just up and flees the kingdom due to the above-mentioned shock.
* BodyHorror: The mutations he's been suffering in most recent issues.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He never works for anyone unless he plans to take over their operation at some point down the road. In fact, it's even the reason he exists to begin with: the three original Ixis wizards specialized in land, air, and sea respectively, and collaborated to add fire to their repertoires, but ''all three'' tried to screw one another over to take all the power for themselves.
* TheDragon: To Mammoth Mogul, for a while. He got one of his own in Geoffrey.
* ElementalPowers: He has power over [[DishingOutDirt the]] [[PlayingWithFire four]] [[MakingASplash classic]] [[BlowYouAway elements]], among [[CastingAShadow others]].
* EvilMentor: To Geoffrey.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Hijacks Geoffrey's body to escape his mutations.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: MAYBE. He may or may not have started the great war. If he did, then that would make him indirectly responsible for the original Dr Robotnik's rise to power and therefore makes him indirectly responsible for the formation of the Freedom Fighters.]]
* HatePlague: He has the ability to amplify people's emotions - it's implied this was used to start the Great War between Mobians and [[HumansByAnyOtherName Overlanders]].
** Also almost caused a civil war between Mobians and Robians.
*** And more recently, he's been using this same magic to turn the people of New Mobotropolis against NICOLE.
* HearingVoices: Since Eggman's mucking with reality in the ''Genesis'' arc, he's been haunted by the spirits of the wizards who formed him.
** In Issue #252, it gets worse for him.
* InformedAttribute: He once stated that he was powerful enough to affect the planet's rotation. Even when using a Chaos Emerald, he has never shown ''anything'' resembling that kind of power, at best taking out a giant robot.
* ManipulativeBastard: Especially after he regains his mind.
* MixandMatchCritters: Ixus was a fusion between three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster.
* MoreThanMindControl: How his HatePlague power works. As he himself explains when he does so during Mina's concert, there was already fear and paranoia amongst the citizens centered around NICOLE; he just amplified it.
* SanitySlippage: Has been suffering it ever since Genesis. Even the recap at the beginning of one recent issue describes him as now being "dangerously insane".
* TwoBeingsOneBody: Naugus was created when three other Ixis wizards - a rhino, a bat, and a lobster - were permanently [[FusionDance fused together]].
* WeakButSkilled: How he's an actual threat to Silver, despite the latter having defeated an Enerjak incarnation in a previous story arc.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Used the aforementioned HatePlague against Nicole to boost himself into having this in New Mobotropolis when he promised to dispose of her. He sealed the deal by defeating a giant Metal Sonic and saving New Mobotropolis.

[[folder: Wendy Naugus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_wendynaugus_witchcart_resize.png]]
A fellow troll introduced in the new universe as Walter's sister. Though heavily revamped for the comic, she originates from the spin-off game ''VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol'' where she was depicted as a (presumably) human witch known only as "Witchcart".
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Of Dr. Eggman.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After Eggman beats Wally and her and is set to have her executed. She pleas for her life and is willing to work with Eggman to keep it. Eggman, with some prodding from Axel, accepts.
* AscendedExtra: While Witchcart had only a single appearance in the games, she's a recurring antagonist here, and has been given the name Wendy Naugus, made an anthropomorphic troll wizard and the twin sister of Walter Naugus. She commands a group of minions known as the Witchcarters, [[MythologyGag an ode to her original game name.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Looks like a slimmer, female version of Walter, though somewhat more human in appearance.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up at the end of the #276 helping Walter sabotage Eggmanland.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely does see Wally as family and states she helping to get his powers back for exactly this reason.
* InterspeciesRomance: Wendy, a troll, is visibly attracted to Robotnik, a human, making frequent flirtatious comments about and to him. It's a one-sided affair, as Robotnik finds it quite creepy.
* LowCultureHighTech: Unlike Walter, who abhors technology, Wendy is quite the technology enthusiast.
* MythologyGag: In {{fanon}}, her game incarnation is known as Wendy Witchcart.
* WickedWitch: Really going for the motif including a witch's hat, hooked nose, and cape. She even cackles like a stereotypical witch.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modern_baddies_trolls_walternaugus_resize.png]]
A wizard and recurring villain. He had once saved Maximillian when he was banished into the Zone of Silence, while making him swear fealty to him, making the wizard a legal ruler. He had been trying to take over Mobotropolis twice and failed thanks to Sonic (who he frequently refers to as "Quickster"). It wasn't until after the failed Iron Dominion invasion in New Mobotropolis that, through his magical manipulation, he was finally able to become king -- with a little help from Geoffery St. John.
Thanks to his status as a ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' character rather than a comic-original, he was one

[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archie_sonic_blade.jpg]]
One of the female crewmen of the ship. A shark and Razor's older sister.
* BigSisterBully: When Razor meets up with her again years after he left, she shows that she isn't the best of siblings, constantly getting into argument over any disagreements Razor has with her. While a first argument is serious (the matter with a medicine ship they raided which Razor disagreed with). A second one while they're exploring a jungle shows how petty she truly is when Razor comments on the nature of the ruins they're exploring while she cites treasure hunting as ''boring'' and admits to actively liking hurting people, much to Razor's disgust.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Razor's Abel. While Razor ultimately grew a conscience and sought to atone for the trouble he brought. Blade continued operating under a belief that the world is cruel, so she there's no reason she shouldn't have to hurt people to get what she wants.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Razor and she were orphans that had to survive on their own. Being the eldest sister, she did all she could to look out for him till Abyss took the two in. However being with a band that encourages stealing and hurting people didn't help her psyche and, like Shellbreaker, she didn't take it well when Abyss left and certainly didn't when Razor jumped ship after an argument on raiding a medicine ship and selling them back to the people it was intended for.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There are moments where she shows she does geninulesly love Razor since he's the only family she has left. But her unwillingness to compromise or listen to reason beyond her own selfishness strains their relationship.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like her brother, she has a very short fuse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She constantly feels like the world owes her something for her tough life and makes excuses to justifiy why she's in the right, even if it means hurting innocent people.

!! Old Universe Characters (Pre-Genesis Wave)
Characters from the original universe before issue #252. These characters are permanently erased from the new timeline thanks to the Super Genesis Wave.
!!!The Dark Legion
A group of technology obsessed echidna that split off from society into their own cult. They were banished into an alternate dimension for centuries.
[[folder: In General]]
* EnemyCivilWar: The Dark Legion has had a lot of problems with factionalism. Kragok managed to avoid one such war when he took over and stripped Lien-Da of her political title; and the changing of the guard from Kragok to Dimitri went off without a hitch. Problems arose when Dimitri wanted to bury the hatchet with the other Echidnas and the Dark Legion fractured into numerous groups that fillout all sorts of alignments. Many settled into Echidnopolis, and when it was taken over they sided with Lien-Da. Dr. Finitevus backed Remington as a new Grandmaster and he had his own splinter group (the Frost Legion) following him and challenging Lien-Da (leading the Flame Legion) for authority.
* FacelessGoons: Their hoods obscure their faces save for their eyes; making them easy to dispose of mooks.
* MundaneUtility: Ian Flynn stated that in addition to serving as bio-enhancements and weaponry, Legionares get mechanical implants as a form of self expression and how these Echidnas show their devotion to technology.
* PutOnABus: The Legion were Ken's creation and they were scrubbed from the comic following the reboot.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: They're a renegade faction of the Echidna society dating back to the days of Edmund and Dimitri. Edmund's genealogy spawned the Brotherhood while Dimitri's spawned the legion.
* VillainDecay: Justified as the Dark Egg Legion. While the Legion started out fairly powerful, numerous set backs ensued to the point where most of their members either died or defected after the mass-depowering. By the time the remnant signs on with Eggman they're a fraction of the size with many of their more powerful members dead (Xenin, Kragok), turned turncoat (Julie Su, Dr. Finitevus) or MIA (Moritori Rex) and the powers of Enerjak are long gone. The DEL are just easily defeated mooks prone to comedy rather than the fearsome Dark Legion they started out as.

[[folder: Dimitri]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Dimitri_Issue_-184_3631.jpg]]
Distant ancestor of Knuckles, Lien-Da, and Julie-Su. Spent several centuries as the Chaos-empowered demigod Enerjak.
* AGodAmI: When he became Enerjak, he declared himself a god.
* AntiVillain: He gradually revealed himself as this. Part of it came from him learning from his mistakes after being stripped from his powers, and working towards a peace between Echidnas. Part of it was via retcon showing Dimitri's initial experiment to not be entirely through selfishness as the corrupt council was continually blocking his and Edmund's desire to help people.
* TheAtoner: Has become this following his HeelFaceTurn.
* BigBad: of Knuckles' spin-off series.
* BrainInAJar: Well, head, his body is long since gone with only cybernetics keeping him alive.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Was stripped of his powers by Mogul.
* {{Cyborg}}: One of few Echidnas still with their original Dark Legion cybernetics.
* TheDragon: As Grandmaster of the Dark Egg Legion, he served as this to Eggman.
* DrunkOnTheDarkside: The Chaos Emeralds gave him one hell of a PowerHigh and he grew erratic and careless. When he was depowered he regains his former clarity, lamenting how [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim he never used his incredible power in the most practical of ways]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's frustrated with his descendant Lien-Da's treachery and short-sightedness, he still loves her and continually tries to pull her from danger even if it was brought by her own hubris.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not apparent at first, but gradually Dimitri becomes one of the least evil of the major villains. He continually tries to push for more peaceful solutions only for Mogul, Eggman, and even Lien-Da undermining him with the depravity they can get to. Dimitri also expresses regret with working with the likes of Dr. Finitevus.
* FakeDefector: He reveals to Knuckles that he joined forces with Eggman in order to weaken him from within.
* HeelFaceTurn: He was an {{Antivillain}} to begin with, and was continually subject to EvilerThanThou (first from Mogul and then from his own great-X-granddaughter Lien-Da), so this was probably inevitable.
* MadScientist
* PhysicalGod: As Enerjak.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Was kept perpetually young by his Chaos powers. When they were stolen, however, he aged rapidly, to the point that the only way to save him was to ''surgically remove his head'', and attach it to a life support system in a floating fish bowl. Eggman later enhanced this by equipping him with tentacle like extensions to his dreadlocks, granting him back limbs per se.
* SanitySlippage: The chaos energies flowing through his mind warped it and as Enerjak, Dimitri became far more violent, power-hungry, and cruel. His sanity returns when Mogul de-powers him.
* SealedEvilInACan: He spent several centuries buried under the rubble of his own fortress, and shortly after escaping from there, was launched into space for a while.
* ThatManIsDead: When he attained the powers to become Enerjak, he left his old identity behind.
-->'''Kragok''': "Great Dimitri!!!"
-->'''Enerjak''': "Lord Enerjak will do, Kragok! Dimitri is but a distant memory!"
* UnskilledButStrong: Seemed to be a running theme with him as Enerjak, if not Enerjak incarnations in general. For example, he had more raw power than Mogul when they first met, but Mogul stole his powers with little effort.
* UnwittingPawn: To Finitevus during the events leading up to the "Enerjak Reborn" arc - he thought his power would be returned to him, but Finitevus was just using him to figure out how to turn someone else into Enerjak.
* VillainCred: When he returns from his first defeat he lands right on top of, and destroys, a statue of him that the Dark Legion created. He takes a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the statue, saying he'd like to meet the person who made it.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: By the end of his run, Dimitri's motivations are primarily for the preservation of his people, unlike many of his associates such as Lien-Da who are motivated by power or wrath. However he still resorts to aligning himself with unscrupulous clients, often making him a GuiltRiddenAccomplice for the BigBad of each arc.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Was a pretty okay guy until he became Enerjak, at which point he completely lost it. Fortunately, his sanity was restored when he was {{DePower}}ed.

[[folder: Lien-Da]]
[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lien-Da_3090.png]]
Power mad older sister of Julie-Su and Grandmaster of the Dark Egg Legion. Despises her little sister ([[SiblingRivalry the feeling is very mutual]]).
* AscendedExtra: Initially a very minor henchman that gradually got much more of a role in the series.
* TheBaroness: Sexpot kind. While Dmitri was in charge of the Dark Legion (before it became the Dark Egg Legion), her title was [[ThoseWackyNazis "Kommissar"]], and she can sometimes be seen sporting a [[WhipItGood whip]] to go with that [[PuttingOnTheReich form-fitting black military uniform]].
* BigBadWannabe: Seeks to be Grandmaster of the Dark Legion and conquer the world herself, however she always ends up outplayed by other more competent villains or her own impulses or hubris, leaving her an opportunistic lackey most of the time. Eggman actually revives her for this reason, treating Lien-Da's ineffectual attempts to usurp him like an amusing little game he always beats her at.
* CainAndAbel: She, along with Kragok despised their younger sister and immediately set upon disposing of her (Lein Da in particular lingered over whether just to kill her instead). Interestingly, Lien Da herself was double crossed by Kragok out of power as Grandmaster, leading her to have played both roles of the trope.
* ControlFreak: Actually has nothing against robbing the sentience of her clan to get them to follow her orders.
* {{Cyborg}}: Though not as apparant as most Legionarres. Ian Flynn states that she didn't want to alter her appearence too much and most of her cyborg additions are internal or covered under clothing.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DidntThinkThisThrough: A fatal flaw of her. Lien-Da is never one much for planning and more acting when an opportunity sees itself. But never seems to think what to do past a certain point in action or what her opponents are really capable of (Why yes, Lien-Da attack the one person who can control machines ''when you're half cybernetics''). This bites her in the ass very quickly, at one point even nearly killing her.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In the ''Mobius: 25 Years Later'' timeline altered by King Sonic's time-traveling, she's still as evil as ever, but she seems to genuinely love her son Rutan (in the unaltered timeline, she's actually semi-{{Heel Face Turn}}ed.)
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Her future self is horrified when King Shadow goes to use Tikhaos to destroy everything, also, she isn't willing to get the royal twins involved in battle, being 'innocent' according to her.
* EvilRedhead
* FreudianExcuse: [[TheUnfavorite "Dad liked you more!"]]
* GoryDiscretionShot: In the climax of the ''Iron Dominion Arc'', she had tried to enact a coup against Regina and attacked her. But Regina counted by activating the bomb in her cybernetics. We see an explosion shortly after and the legion quickly shouting to gather up her body before fleeing.
* HeelFaceTurn: She had reformed 25 years later and made peace with Julie-Su. But it was changed when King Sonic went time-hopping and somehow prevented this from happening. Possibly because in the new timeline, Shadow had took over and thus she didn't get over her power hungry tendencies.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Father]]: She disowned her father Luger, to the point of viewing her grandfather Moritori Rex as her father.
* ItsAllAboutMe: To a sociopathic degree.
* LaughablyEvil: Has few restraints and mobilities, has exterminated or screwed over the large majority of her family and people as a stepping stone in her attempts for power. Nevertheless she has the comical [[ManChild demeanor of a spoiled child]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain things never quite seem to go her way]].
* NeverMyFault: Blames her family (particularly her younger sister) for all her grievances in her life. Also tends to blame those around her when plans go wrong (her Great-Great-Grandfather was [[ShutUpHannibal far more willing to point out her own incompetence]], naturally not long after which [[TheStarscream he was due for the chop as well]]).
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite her appearance, she's actually 33 years old. In an alternate timeline, she retains the same look when she's 63 years old.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot, and was put on a bus shortly before it.
* PsychopathicManchild
* SelfMadeOrphan: Murdered both her father and her stepmother, the former to [[KlingonPromotion become Grandmaster of the Legion]].
* ShockAndAwe: After Eggman rebuilds her.
* SiblingYinYang: With Julie-Su.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Tended to suffer a few comical thrashing from the heroes, especially in Flynn's era.
* SmugSnake: Is not in much control of a situation as she thinks, as evidenced when she tries to make a bid for power during the final battle with the Iron Queen.
* TheStarscream: Disposed of her Father and later her Great-Great-Grandfather to gain the role of Grandmaster and tried to overthrow the Iron Queen. This didn't work out too well however.
** Is currently one to Eggman. He in fact saved her from dying because he's amused by having his underlings trying to kill him as part of his "game."
* TookALevelInBadass: After spending her entire existence as a non-action villain, she recently turned into a fighter that can pose a danger to Sonic thanks to the cybernetics she gained from Eggman.
* WhyAmITicking: As with most Eggman minions, she was implanted with a bomb in her body via her cybernetics. Working under the Iron Queen somewhat diminished the threat since Regina wasn't as trigger happy as Eggman long as they didn't cross her. But Lien-Da attempted to overthrow her near the end of the arc and...well Regina did just that, activated her explosives and nearly killed her. It was only thanks to Eggman that she managed to survive.
* WomanChild: Can be quite the spoiled brat when things don't go her way. She's not above teasing Snively either.
-->Aw, is little Snivy-kins not getting the attention he needs?
* WitchWithACapitalB: Julie-Su certainly considered her such, and with valid reason.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Kragok]]
Lien-da's brother, Julie-Su's half-brother and descendant of Dimitri.
* BackForTheDead: He and Tobor are lost into a portal locked in combat. Many issues later Dimitri accidently reopens the portal and the pair tumble out, fatally crashing into the Legion's airship.
* CainAndAbel: As united he and Lien-Da were in their vendetta against their family (especially their youngest sister, Julie-Su), ultimately Kragok had no qualms brutally double crossing even her for that extra role of power either.
* {{Cyborg}}: As par the course for Legionnaires.
* DemotedToDragon: The de-facto leader of the Legion in his first outing, Kragok willingly gives up control to Dimitri after he returns from space.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Father]]: He disowned his father Luger, to the point of viewing his grandfather Moritori Rex as his father.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hated his family so much that he conspired to get his father, Luger, killed, injured Lien-Da enough to keep the full power of Grandmaster to himself, and erased Julie-Su's memory of her family and tossed her at a couple and told her to treat her as if she were an orphan before taking ''them'' away from her.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Murdered both his father and his stepmother, the former to [[KlingonPromotion become Grandmaster of the Legion]].
* TheStarscream: Was this to Lien-Da - he had agreed to share power as the Grandmaster after they did away with their father, only for him to take the entire thing. Though when Dimitri returns, he's nothing but loyal to him.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The guy only shows up for three storylines before disappearing at the end of the third, only to show up once more ''to die''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Moritori Rex]]
Moritori is a former Grandmaster of the Dark Legion, son of the Dark Legion's founder Menniker and grandson of the infamous Dimitri . He became a spy when he was mistaken for the Guardian Tobor and brought to the Brotherhood of Guardians's secret base Haven.
* CombatPragmatist: Moritori will use any means at his disposal to win in a fight.
* {{Cyborg}}: He possesses cybernetic implants, most notably his eyes, which were originally equipped to allow him to spy on the Prime Zone while still trapped in the Twilight Cage and he is one of few Echidnas with their original Dark Legion cybernetics.
* DisappointedInYou: It's not that apparant in comic, but Ian Flynn stated he wrote Rex with this opinion in regards to his son Luger; Rex was ultimately dissatisfied with how little Luger accomplished.
-->" I don't think Rex outright hated his son; I think there was still a small, "human" part of him that felt at least a responsibility to acknowledge him. But I don't think he lingered on the news of his death. While Rex was busy scheming in the Primeverse, Luger achieved very little in terms of returning to Angel Island. I see Rex as being disappointed with Luger's apparent lack of drive or viciousness, which is why he turned his attention to the next generation."
* TheMole: Posed as the guardian Tobor.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Before Dimitri came back, Moritori Rex was one of the oldest Legionnaires outliving his son Luger and even his grandson Kragok.
* PutOnABus: Was cast into the Twilight Cage along with the Brotherhood of Guardians (bar Knuckles and Locke) by Dr. Finitevus; not returning due to legal matters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Xenin]]
One of the Dark Legion's strongest soldiers. Xenin acts as an enforcer whenever Dimitri or Kragok have something planned.
* TheBrute: In contrast to the other named Dark Legionarres in authority, Xenin is a field agent largely there to provide the muscle for his superiors. He's quite strong to, dispatching both General Stryker and Knuckles.
* FantasticRacism: He dislikes Dingoes quite a bit.
* KilledOffForReal: He was a victim of the Egg Grapes.
* MauveShirt: In contrast to the nameless and faceless Dark Legion mooks, Xenin was given a distinctive design and more of a personality. He was also given a fairly concrete fate in contrast to most of his allies who were left hanging.
* MookLieutenant: He leads a dispatch of Legionarres during operations.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Menniker]]
The Founder and first Grandmaster of the Dark Legion.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died in a battle with the Guardian Aaron.
* PredecessorVillain: The first Grandmaster, his descendants serve as some of Knuckles' major enemies.
* VillainousLegacy: Long after Menniker's death, the Dark Legion is still causing trouble.
[[/folder]]
!!!The Destructix and Moebius
A mercenary group made up of criminals. While they hardly get involved in problems of their world they nevertheless cause all manner of trouble for the Freedom Fighters.
[[folder: The Destructix as a whole]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/destructix_7139.jpg]]
* HiredGuns: They've had a number of bosses over the series and hardly ever work for themselves. The only time they did was to bust out Scourge.
* MookCarryover: The Fearsome Foursome debuted as Mammoth Mogul's minions. After his imprisonment they reformed under Snively for a time. After leaving his employ with Sleuth they formed the Destructix and went back to serving Mogul before leaving his service and working under Scourge.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: {{Downplayed}}. When Angel Island devolves into civil war, the Destrutix are seen as the most heroic faction as Finitevus has them defend the non-combatents from the Dingos and warring Dark Legion as a way to make himself seem trustworthy to Locke. While the Echidnas think highly of them, it never really changes their position in the world as they're still seen as dangerous and untrustworthy mercenaries and news of their good deeds didn't go beyond Angel Island.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Scourge the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Scourge_2553.png]]
Formerly known as the Anti-Sonic, Sonic's EvilTwin from an AlternateUniverse where the [[ThePsychoRangers Freedom Fighters are evil]]. For quite a long time, he was simply a petty self-obsessed recurring nuisance who would spawn many a ClearMyName plot and occasionally team up with a more legitimately threatening villain... until exposure to the Master Emerald turned him green and evoked a major [[TookALevelInBadass attitude adjustment]], leading him to reinvent himself as "Scourge", a more truly ''psychotic'' version of the main character who ascended into a position of formidable antagonist in his own right. He's become a flagship Archie-original character, the first to get his own 4-issue ''Sonic Universe'' arc.
* AbortedArc: The last we see of him is that he and his gang had broken out of jail and wound up back his dimension. Fiona mentions they had to do something for Dr Finitevus which Scourge was needed for. But he stated he had his own plans in mind. However, due to the CosmicRetcon, we'll never get to see either of these come to fruition.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He took over Moebius/Anti-Mobius by simply beating up various warlords across the planet, and the Anti-Freedom Fighters/Suppression Squad follow his lead largely because he ''beat'' them into submission.
* BadBoss: He assumed control of the Anti-Freedom Fighters/Suppression Squad by brutally beating them all into submission and they really only continue to follow his lead out of fear. [[MachiavelliWasWrong Ergo, they hold no true loyalty for him and they gladly and readily betray him when the opportunity comes up]].
** To emphasize this, it's implied that Scourge may have ''gouged out Patch's eye'', just to make him look different to the Antoine of Mobius.
* BigBad: Finally earned this status during the "Bold New Moebius" arc.
* BigBadWannabe:
** As Anti-Sonic, he was this for a ''long'' time, as he liked to talk tough, but was ultimately nothing more than a ButtMonkey who was constantly pushed around by the other villains and got beat up easily by the heroes, to the extent a pre-CharacterDevelopment [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys Antoine]] once knocked him out cold. ''by accident''. Then, a dose of Chaos energy directly from the Master Emerald transformed him into Scourge, granting him several dozen levels of badass and making him one of the series' most powerful villains. He's still not on the level of Dr. Eggman or Finitevus, but he's definitely a credible solo threat these days; he's even managed to conquer all of Moebius by himself.
** Even then, however, as pointed out by Sonic, Jules and even Fiona, Scourge's conquest of Moebius wasn't really impressive since, unlike Mobius, his world isn't full of powerful villains and monsters. All he did was beat up various warlords across the planet and [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority believed that made him king]]. When he came to Mobius, nobody but the Freedom Fighters considered him a threat and he was nearly defeated by Metal Sonic and Metal Scourge, latter of whom was literally put together by Eggman at the last minute.
* BreakTheHaughty: After being arrested by the Zone Cops and locked in Zone Jail, Scourge suffers this ''big time''. Left defenseless by a PowerNullifier collar, he's left at the bottom of the pecking order at the prison and subjected to constant beatings and abuse that leave him a bitter, scared, paranoid shadow of his former self. When Fiona allows herself to be arrested to save him, she's shocked at how far Scourge has fallen.
* TheBully: At his core, Scourge is nothing more than a superpowered bully who enjoys flaunting his power and superiority over others. He runs the Suppression Squad through fear and loves talking a big game, but when a fight proves to be harder than expected or faced with someone who isn't intimidated by him, he tends to back down immediately. Sonic outright sums him up as one in issue 196 after defeating him.
-->'''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.
* ButtMonkey: Prior to becoming Scourge, this was all he ''ever'' was.
* TheCasanova: Has been involved with Anti-Bunnie, Anti-Sally, Anti-Penelope, ''and'' Fiona.
** Also, whilst impersonating Sonic for a time, he hit on, amongst others, the Mobius Prime versions of Bunnie, Amy, and Rouge. There's even a subtle indication in issue #150 that he and Bunnie-Prime actually slept together, due to his taking advantage of her hurt and confusion over Antoine being stealthily replaced by Patch. It's pretty disgusting when you realize that Scourge is only 15 years old.
* CloningBlues: More an evil AlternateSelf than Sonic's actual clone, but the basic principle is the same. In issue 172, Scourge taunts Sonic, boasting that the reason Sonic hates him so much is because he knows they're NotSoDifferent and all it would take is "one bad day" to make Sonic into him. Sonic turns it around by pointing out that all it would take is just a little kindness and selflessness to make Scourge just like ''him''; these words shock Scourge to his core, and lead him to embark on a quest to make himself more than just Sonic's EvilTwin, and Anti-Mobius more than just a MirrorUniverse.
* CoolShades: It's one of the few things, aside from his leather jacket, that he's retained since his days as Anti-Sonic. Although the 90s version had a different outfit.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He conquered his entire world, single-handedly, in ''under a week''. He gave an alliance of Sonic, Amy Rose, his own reality's insane version of Amy, and several other powerful fighters a serious fight even ''before'' he turned into his Super Scourge form.
* DirtyCoward: He was accused of being this, and quickly proved to be this, by Jules-Prime in issue #192. The robian confronted Scourge when the latter tried to sneak into his house at night to attack Sonic and scared him off by simply refusing to back down to his threats, instead matter-of-factually stating that he had fought on the frontlines in the Great War of Mobius Prime, that he would not simply lay down, and that if he did die, Sonic would be truly livid.
* EvilFeelsGood: Inverted. his Super Scourge form lasts forever and is even stronger than Super Sonic, but makes him feel awful, in contrast to how Sonic feels great when becoming Super Sonic.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Though most of the Moebius ladies hate him for his cheating, he does seem to genuinely love Fiona.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** When Scourge goes in with a half baked plan to hurt Sonic by attacking his father, Jules gives Scourge a stern dressing down. Jules's accusation that Scourge, having lost his own father, would inflict that onto Sonic seems to actually affect Scourge on an emotional level. Though he blows Jules off, Scourge is crying as he leaves.
** Is horrified by how AxCrazy Flying Frog reveals himself to be when the latter tells Scourge his backstory.
* EvilTwin: He's Sonic from a MirrorUniverse. Though he's trying to make himself more than that (maybe).
* ForTheEvulz: He has no clear motive for his evil beyond being drunk on his own strength and making Prime!Sonic's life utter hell, though this ranges anywhere from picking scraps with him to trying to destroy his respective universe.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Two jagged-looking scars on his chest (injuries from a fight with Knuckles's father, Locke) are the easiest way to tell him from his counterpart. Well, besides the fact he's green, anyway.
* HellBentForLeather: Part of his "evil opposite" look. He's sported this look since he was simply Anti-Sonic, and it's one of the only things he retains after transforming into Scourge.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In his last battle with Sonic, he taps into Anarchy Beryls, his universe equivalent to Chaos Emeralds, and goes super. He proves too powerful, even with both the Freedom Fighters, Suppression Squad, Rob O'the Hedge, and Silver working together, forcing Sonic to briefly retreat. However Sonic realizes something about his power and coax Scourge into depowering by appealing to his ego to beat him in a normal state. Scourge falls for it and finds himself too weak to move. Sonic then explains: Chaos Emeralds in his world give him a little boost when he comes out of it. But since this is an alternate/opposite world, Anarchy Beryls saps Scourge of his energy when he comes out of his super state, kind of like when Shadow takes off his rings. And since this was apparently the first time Scourge used them, he was completely ignorant of this fact. The dope ends up knocking himself out with Sonic not even having to touch him.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Fear and Power. Scourge controls the Suppression Squad and Destructix by beating them into submission and making them terrified of him. In fact, this is how he controls most people he works with, as Jules-Prime notes. When confronted by someone who won't back down to his threats or let themselves be cowed by him, Scourge [[DirtyCoward folds like a lawn chair]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Contrary to Sonic, who can sometimes be a jerk but is really nice deep down, Scourge seems to be nothing but pure egotism, spite, and cruelty.
* MultiversalConqueror: After conquering Moebius, he invades Mobius Prime with the intent to conquer it as well.
* NotSoDifferent:
** He's Sonic but with his negative qualities punctuated ten fold. Sonic himself in fact defeats his super form just by playing to the same vices he has; namely by playing to his ego and impulsiveness.
** He loves making speeches to Sonic about their similarities noting that "One Bad Day" (a la the Joker) would turn Sonic into him. Sonic, by contrast, turns it on him saying that a bit of selflessness and decency would turn Scourge into him. While the latter words horrify Scourge and motivate him to make a truly despicable power play, the former end up ringing through Sonic's head as [[TookALevelInCynic he starts to reach breaking point]] from several losses during the Mecha Sally arc, causing him to gain a HeroicSecondWind. Essentially both [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally prevented]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain their own theories]] becoming true, simply because it ensured [[ShutUpHannibal the other would be adamant]] [[ShutUpKirk to prove them wrong]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As Anti-Sonic, he was nothing but a common hoodlum who was knocked out by pre-CharacterDevelopment [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys Antoine]] of all people, ''by accident''. His transformation into Scourge gave him a chance to finally prove to Sonic and the other heroes just how dangerous he really is.
* OmnicidalManiac: In issue #196, Super Scourge declares that, due to Sonic's resistance, he's decided to give up his plans to rule Moebius ''or'' Mobius. Instead, he plans on spin-dashing both planets in half, just because he ''can'', before going on to find other worlds to devastate, swearing to stomp them all until he finally finds one that gives him the respect he feels he deserves.
* OutsideContextProblem: Discussed in issue 197. Zonic mentions that Scourge's Master Emerald mutation has made him a WildCard in the cosmic scheme of things, hence why the Zone Cops didn't arrest him for repeatedly overstepping his Zone boundaries and attacking Mobius Prime until Sonic brought him to them.
* PaletteSwap: Justified, given that he is a mirror-universe Sonic. Initially averted, as Anti-Sonic was blue, but turning green was part of his motivation to try and be more than just "Sonic's stupid punk counterpart".
* PaperTiger: He talks big but he often he backs down as soon someone stands up to him or a fight turns out to be harder than he anticipated.
* ParentalNeglect: From what we've seen, his father was too busy to pay attention to him. Before fleeing at the end of issue #192, an angry, weeping Scourge dismissively spits that Jules-Prime's no different to his Moebius counterpart.
-->'''Scourge:''' Just a bunch of empty words. You're no different from my old man after all.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His Super Scourge form has purple fur, along with BlackEyesOfCrazy mixed with RedEyesTakeWarning.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot, [[Main/DisneyOwnsThisTrope as well as all evil Sonics in general]].
* ReallyGetsAround: On top of being involved with Anti-Bunnie, Anti-Sally, Anti-Penelope, and Fiona, he briefly impersonated Sonic on Mobius just to flirt with the Prime versions of nearly every girl in Sonic's life.
* SelfMadeOrphan: It's heavily implied that he killed his neglectful father Anti-Jules. As he said to Jules, "[[UnwillingRoboticisation Sonic's dad isn't a Mobian anymore.]] [[SelfMadeOrphan My dad simply isn't.]]" We have no clue what happened to his mother, but she's likely dead or roboticized.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Before becoming Scourge, Evil-Sonic had blue fur just like Sonic. After exposure to the Master Emerald, his fur turned [[GreenAndMean green]] and he gained a boost in strength and stamina. He also had a super state of his own, which turns his fur [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
* ShadowArchetype: He's Sonic with all of his negative qualities ramped up, and very few, if any, of his positive ones.
* ShoutOut: In Issue 172, he claims that the only thing it would take to make Sonic like him is "[[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke one bad day]]."
* SmugSnake: Scourge is cocky and arrogant, and loves to talk a big game, but is mostly, if not entirely, dependent on fear to keep people in line, and when a fight turns out to be harder than anticipated or when someone actually stands up to him, he tends to fold and run. He takes great delight in boasting about how he conquered Moebius, but even Fiona points out it's not very impressive since unlike Mobius Prime, his world isn't full of powerful villains and monsters, and his takeover amounted to simply beating up various warlords. Best shown in issue 191, where he's utterly curb-stomped in a straight fight by Metal Sonic.
* SuperMode: The craziest looking one in the series.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Upon realizing that [[AxCrazy Rosy]] was right there waiting for him when he was forced back to Moebius, his reaction is a plaintive "Oh, please no..."
** Yelling at Fiona "I almost got sent back home! You do NOT want to be sent back with ME!".
* TookALevelInBadass: Before becoming Scourge: a petty wannabe punk who was just a two-bit player in the grand scheme of things. After becoming Scourge: a world-conquering psychopath who beat up both Sonic and all his allies and almost destroyed No Zone.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Fiona. He's stated that he prefers her to the girls in Moebius because rather than being evil by default, she ''chose'' to be evil. And apparently Scourge finds that hot.
* VillainProtagonist: Of the "Jail Break" arc in ''Sonic Universe''.
* VillainousBreakdown: When the Suppression Squad betrayed him, he decided to go [[SuperMode Super]] and "spindash ''both'' worlds in half" for the Hell of it. This leads into...

[[folder:Fiona Fox]]
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fiona_6728.png]]
[[caption-width-right:247:[[labelnote:Click here to see her after turning evil]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fiona_foxjpg.jpg]][[/labelnote]]
Former Freedom Fighter gone bad. Tails' one-time crush and Sonic's one-time girlfriend.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Prefers Scourge to Sonic.
* ArchEnemy: To both Tails and Sally.
* ConsummateLiar: Turns out she had been lying to just about everyone for a while.
* DarkActionGirl: Tough enough to be a match for many of the non-superpowered characters, and clever and resourceful enough to frequently get the drop on those stronger than her as well.
* EvilRedhead: Her fur is red too.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: With her FaceHeelTurn, she switches from her white and orange jumpsuit and boots, to an all-black ensemble including a tanktop, pants, boots and long FingerlessGloves.
* FaceHeelTurn: She was genuinely on the Freedom Fighters' side before her attraction to Scourge led her astray.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Particularly pronounced when she first defects to Scourge and Tails is tearfully begging her not to go. Fiona kneels down to him, gently tells him that for all of his smarts, he hasn't realized the most fundamental thing in life is that "you can't count on anybody"... before backhanding him with enough force to knock him off his feet, all with a gigantic smirk on her face.
* FemmeFatale: Prior to her turn to the dark side and full-blown [[TheVamp Vamp]] status.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Fiona appeared for the first time way back in issue #29, where Tails first falls for her... only to break his heart by revealing she's evil and betraying him to Robotnik. Now, that was just the "Auto-Fiona"[[note]]a robotic clone[[/note]] but... come issue #172, and the ''real'' Fiona now breaks Tails' heart by betraying him and revealing she's evil.
* FreudianExcuse: Abandonment issues. Basically, she used to be on the Freedom Fighters' side years ago, but her cell was captured and she was never rescued -- instead, she luckily managed to dig herself out of the prison she was abandoned inside of after two years rather than starving to death like Robotnik planned. She's never forgiven either her family for disappearing nor the Freedom Fighters for failing to save her.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She tells Tails that he can't count on or trust anyone when she betrays the Freedom Fighters in 172. Later when she returns with the Suppression Squad who later betrays Scourge, but she stays loyal to him, something which Sonic calls her out on after she goes off and state how she won't trust or count on anyone. Sonic's words cause her to break into tears and deny the whole thing, which obviously he does not buy. Even after Scourge goes to jail, she gets the Destructix and breaks him out, almost saying that she loves him. It's made pretty clear that Fiona can't follow her own advice.
* JackOfAllTrades: As stated in ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'', Fiona is well-rounded in many skills:
** Trained Field Medic
** Field Combatant
** Seasoned Thief and Treasure Hunter
** Smart enough to briefly work with Brain Trust
* KickTheDog: Does it frequently, but the nastiest instance of it by ''far'' is telling Tails, who had a crush on her, that he can't trust anyone and then [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping him]], all with a gleeful smirk on her face.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Fiona is on the receiving end of this from Sally (specifically, she gets punched in the stomach) for trying to manipulate Tails' feelings again. Sonic, Monkey Khan, and even Tails himself all agree Fiona more than deserved it and cheer her on:
-->'''Sonic''': Actually, I thought it was kind of hot!\\
'''Monkey Khan''': Totally in agreement there!\\
'''Tails''': Yeah! Next time you should hit her again!
* ManipulativeBitch: Was seeing Scourge while dating Sonic, and lying about it the whole time.
* NeverMyFault: She does acknowledge her actions sometimes, but under stress, she's more than willing to shift the blame.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheRealRemingtonSteele: The real-life version of the fox robot Tails met so long ago during his solo adventure.
* SmugSnake: After her FaceHeelTurn.
* SympathyForTheDevil: When she starts crying and denying that she trusts and depends on Scourge, Sonic just leaves her while muttering "keep telling yourself that," with a pitying look on his face.
** She tries to deliberately invoke it while Sonic, Sally, Tails, and Ken were on their diplomatic mission in hopes of swaying Tails to help her. However, Sally is there this time and [[ShutUpHannibal responds with a punch to the gut]]. Very cathartic if you've read her betrayal to Tails beforehand.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Fiona is the villainous girly girl to Sally Acorn's heroic tomboy. Sally is a TomboyPrincess who has a very unfeminine appearance, and is a character especially divergent from stereotypes associated with females. Fiona does have a pretty rough attitude and her appearance isn't completely girly, but the bow and skirt still make it more so than Sally's. Also, Fiona is a FemmeFatale and TheVamp who uses her feminine charms to manipulate male characters like Tails, much to the annoyance and disgust of Sally, who once gave Fiona a violent gut punch for doing this. Interestingly, Fiona often mocks Sally for her princess status, calling her a "sugar queen", despite Sally being more tomboyish than her.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Scourge. And if there was any doubt as to whether she actually loved him, she goes through the trouble of reorganizing the Destructix as her personal goon squad and letting herself be arrested by the Zone Cops, all in order to break him out of jail.
* TheVamp: To Tails. She knows Tails likes her, and she has tried to exploit it.
* WouldHurtAChild: Both emotionally and physically. She not only breaks Tails' heart right to his face, she has the nerve to give him a brutal and unprovoked slap just to rub salt in the wound. And going from the smile on her face, she enjoyed every moment of it. And even afterward, she has the gall to still exploit his feelings towards her.

[[folder: Sleuth "Dawgy" Dawg]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-sleuth_217.jpg]]
Traitor to the Freedom Fighters and one of the founders of the Destrutix.
* BadassNormal: No powers or machinery, dude only fought with a blaster and his wits.
* KarmaHoudini: He betrays the Freedom Fighters, joins the Destructix, and then... he decides to just pull out of the whole crime thing. He eventually decides to retire and vanishes off the face of the planet with a presumed happy ending.
* KickTheDog: When he defects to Robotnik he has his partner, Fly Fly Freddy, forcibly roboticized and sent after the Freedom Fighters. The fight ends up killing Freddy.
* TheLeader: Was one to the group before his retirement.
* MauveShirt: Originally he was just a recurring minor Freedom Fighter and less prominent than Hamlin and his group. His importance increased considerably with his treachery.
* TheMole: His original role.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He bounces in and out of this characterization but it sticks later on. When he and the Destructix are fighting Sonic so they can destroy the weapon to kill the brainwashed Knuckles, Sonic does the job for them (Sonic of course not wanting to kill his friend). With that out of the way Sleuth says they're not being paid to stick around any more and the team pulls out.
* PunnyName: He's named after the rapper Snoop "Doggy" Dogg.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. This cost him an appearance on the cover of issue 258.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: In ''Sonic Universe #15'', it is revealed that he not only stepped down as the leader of the Destrutix, but outright retired from the whole crime thing altogether stating he had saved up enough to provide for himself, handing leadership of the Destructix to Fiona.
* TakingYouWithMe: They attempt to make a deal with Eggman and he, naturally, betrays them and roboticizes the group. Sleuth is the last to go and manages to toss a grenade declaring that if he's gonna go he's not going alone. The whole place blows up, but everyone caught in the explosion returns in some form or another.

* ArcWelding: The Guerilla Gorillas showed up a couple years before he did, but seemed to be a perfect fit for his backstory.
* BadassBandolier
* TheBigGuy
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys
* EvilCounterpart: To Mighty, among the Chaotix.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Serves someone if they can prove themselves strong. The fact he doesn't care about that person's morals, only their strength, is what turned him from a WellIntentionedExtremist into what he is today.
* NobleDemon: He works for the bad guys, but he does have his own code of honor however and the most disciplined of the crew.
* [[ThePowerOfFriendship The Power Of Teamwork]]: A rare villainous example. He believes in the benefits of strong teammates.
* {{Pun}}: He's a Guerilla Gorilla. Get it?
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SuperStrength
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Simian started out wanting to protect his home from Robotnik's forces. Since falling in with Mogul and the others, things have changed.

[[folder: Predator Hawk]]
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/predator_hawk_8867.jpg]]
* TheAce: In his backstory.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In the Armada, he excelled at everything he did, only for the best opportunities to go to the Battle Lord's son. Later, when part of the Rogues, he continued to feel this way towards the group's leader, Jet. Eventually, he had enough, defected and set out on his own.
* [[AnimeHair Anime Feathers]]
* ArcWelding: Revealed to have been part of the Battle Bird Armada and connected to the Babylon Rogues years after his introduction.
* BloodKnight: Part of why he didn't quite fit in with the Armada or the Rogues is because they didn't give him enough opportunity to satisfy his desire for challenging "prey."
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Again, quit both the Armada and the Rogues due to not being rewarded based on ability.
* EvilCounterpart: To Charmy, in his first appearance.
* FemmeFatalons: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]]

[[folder: Lightning Lynx]]
[[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lightning_lynx_8650.jpg]]
* AlliterativeName: As with almost all of the original "Fearsome Foursome", his first and last names both start with the same letter.
* CatsAreMean: He's a cat and an unabashed villainous character.
* EvilCounterpart: To Espio in his first appearance, and later during the Iron Dominion arc.
* TheExile: From the Raiju clan. ''Twice.''
* FragileSpeedster: As his name of "Lightning" suggests, he can move with incredible speed and agility. However, he can't take a hit worth mentioning.
* GratuitousNinja: Revealed to be one during the introduction of the Iron Dominion.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In love with Conquering Storm. As a result, [[RevengeTropes he doesn't take her exiling him from the Raiju Clan]] ''[[RevengeTropes again]]'' [[RevengeTropes very well.]]

* AlliterativeName ''F''lying ''F''rog; really, what more is there to say? This was actually a common theme for his original team, "The Fearsome Foursome".
* EvilCounterpart: To Vector, in his first appearance at least. He's a big water-dwelling non-mammalian Mobian.
* FragileSpeedster: He can move extremely fast, even gliding around, but he goes down in one or two good hits.
* GogglesDoNothing: Averted. They're flight goggles.
* MonsterClown: His backstory was that he was originally a clown, but he took more pleasure in scaring people than in entertaining them.
* NotQuiteFlight: Glides around on the flaps of skin connected to his arms and legs.
* OverlyLongTongue: Like any comicbook frog, his tongue is absurdly long, and he likes showing it off.
* PsychoForHire: More so than the other members of the Destructix, due to his... ''quirks.''
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SlasherSmile: He's rarely seen without one.
* TalkativeLoon: So much that it even freaks out Scourge.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Suppression Squad]]
Scourge's old gang, composed entirely of evil versions of the Freedom Fighters. At the present, they are led by Miles, Tails' alternate counterpart. They are Alicia (Sally's Counterpart and ironically Miles main assistant), Patch (Antoine's counterpart), and Boomer (Rotor's Counterpart). Buns (Bunnie's Counterpart) was part of the the group initially but left them after the group left her for dead during a previous outing and she was saved by Dr. Kinbotor (Eggman's counterpart).
* AppealToFear: How Scourge used to keep them in line.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Scourge enforced this amongst the group by making them all try and differ themselves from their prime counterparts. It also happened in story as well as the Suppression Squad was for the most part Scourge's [[SatelliteCharacter posse]] who didn't do all that much beyond helping him pull jobs. Much later in the story the group's personalities became more distinct: Patch had his own story about replacing Antoine, Buns pulled a HeelFaceTurn and works against them, and Miles receives a lot of character focus when the group upgrades themselves.
* DisabilitySuperPower: Buns Rabbot, whose disease forces her to live inside of the Omega Care Unit. Fortunately for her, said device doubles as PoweredArmor...
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They make a truce with the Freedom Fighters to stop Scourge, only to exile both him and Sonic to Moebius. In spite of the betrayal, the Squad did it with the knowledge that they could rescue Sonic fairly easily and felt that isolating Scourge alone with Sonic would result in Sonic's victory.
* EvilTwin: Duh.
* ForWantOfANail:
** They have no NICOLE counterpart and their Dr. Kintobor was never killed and replaced with an Anti-Eggman. This means that nanites and New Mobotropolis does not exist on Moebius.
** Buns was never roboticized and she ended up developing a deadly condition at the base of her spine.
** Moebius isn't full of powerful villains or strong-willed heroes like the Prime Zone. This means that while the Suppression Squad had an easy time taking over their planet, they weren't prepared for all the dangers of Mobius and their attempt at conquest probably would have ended in quick failure if anyone other than the Freedom Fighters had saw them as a threat.
* HeelFaceTurn: Buns pulled one after being rescued and placed inside the Omega Care Unit by Dr. Kintobor.
** Miles seriously considers this after comparing how Sonic fights to Scourge, in a Sonic/Scourge/Metal Sonic/Metal Scourge four-way fight. While he and the rest of the Squad would probably have a better life if they switched sides, their fear of retribution if Scourge does win keeps them in line.
* HellBentForLeather: All of them before their Scourge-enforced makeover.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The entire group, with the exception of Miles, who sets himself apart from Tails by ''refusing'' to be referred to by his nickname.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Patch was originally the most prominent evil counterpart, even more so than Scourge. However, during the "Moebius" storyline, he's put into the background in favor of Scourge and Miles.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheStarscream: Most of the squad to different extents. Patch, Miles, and Elicia all tried to overthrow Scourge at different points.
* UngratefulBastard: The Prime characters agree to help them get rid of Scourge. First chance they get they try to dump both him ''and Sonic'' in their world with no way back. After that problem was solved, they're still plotting on taking revenge against the Prime zone. [[AbortedArc Or at least they would've if the Cosmic Retcon didn't happen.]]
* WhipItGood: Alicia.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Yes, they're the {{Evil Twin}}s of the Freedom Fighters, but their lives on Anti-Mobius were anything but pleasant, and they lack the happy families their counterparts possess. When reflecting on the time he spent on Anti-Mobius after Scourge forcibly swapped him with Patch, Antoine reflects that the Suppression Squad wasn't "so much mean as sad" and he actually [[SympathyForTheDevil pities them]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Miles]]
The Moebius counterpart to Tails. When Scourge went back to remake the team he made Miles give up his nickname as part of his need to differentiate them from the Mobius counterparts. Miles is, above all else, spiteful, egotistical, and resentful. He's become something akin to the lieutenant under Scourge and Fiona, and leads the Suppression Squad in his absence.
----
* DirtyCoward: Miles, whose condescending bravado is a cover up for the fact that he's really a scared little boy.
* DragonAscendant: Miles ascends to team leader after Scourge's defeat, though ultimately this never leads to anything with the reboot.
* EnfanteTerrible: Miles, as if his PsychoticSmirk and his egotistical demeanor weren't big enough hints.
* EvilGenius: As counter to Tails's role as TheSmartGuy. Miles is cunning, ambitious, and an avid scholar in magic.
* EvilSorcerer: According to ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'', as part of Miles' distinguishing himself from Tails, he's chosen to study magic instead of technology. This can be seen in comic when Miles chastises Tails for not following in his magical heritage.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Miles insults Tails for using a "childish" nickname, even though the only reason he stopped using it was that Scourge made him.
* ImportantHaircut: Miles is hinted to both do this and color his hair in order to appear older, in addition to trying to differentiate himself from Tails. Some fans like to joke that it's a toupee.
* InsufferableGenius: Miles.
* ManipulativeBastard Miles graduates to this during the ''Bold New Moebius'' arc.
* PsychoticSmirk: Miles is fond of these, sometimes they make him look intimidating, sometimes they make him look like a child pretending to be intimidating.
* TheStarscream: Originally loyal to Scourge, he eventually convinced the rest of the Suppression Squad to turn on him, and soon after set himself up as their new leader.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Patch]]
The Moebius counterpart to Antoine. He was one of the first to distinguish himself from simply being an EvilKnockoff when Scourge exiled him to Mobius. In Mobius Patch took on Antoine's identity and carefully set about to usurp the throne and place himself in charge.
----
* AscendedExtra: Patch was one of the first of the Moebius group to have an arc and also the first to majorly depart from the role as Scourge's lackey.
* BeardOfEvil: He had a blond goatee but Scourge shaved it off with a spin attack. Minus the Goatee and eye patch, Patch could easily pass as Antoine.
* DirtyCoward: PlayedWith. Patch is, on the surface, much braver than Antoine; he's always ready to get his hands dirty, he can fight quite well, and he's always upfront about his hatred of Scourge. Though scratch the surface, and Antoine is much more willing to keep fighting when things go south while Patch is more likely to cut and run.
* EyepatchOfPower: Patch wears one, hence the name, and has done since he was just "Anti-Antoine". Though initially the eyepatch was cosmetic, Scourge decided to make it necessary.
* EyeScream: Implied. When Sonic and the gang come to Moebotropolis to try and stop Scourge, a very nervous Patch notes that his eyepatch ''used'' to be just for show. The obvious implication here is that Scourge ''gouged it out'' just to make Patch more distinctive from his Prime self.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Especially noticeable when posing as Antoine. Patch puts on the facade of a gentleman and knight but there are an underlying venom and condescension to his pleasantries.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a very prominent scar down the left side of his face. In issue 156, Sonic even points out that it's one of the major clues that he's not the real Antoine; aside from the fact that the prime Antoine was never much of a fighter and lacked a killer instinct, no one, not even Bunnie, knew where or how he got it.
* KarmaHoudini: Patch impersonated Antoine for over a year, tried to trick Sally into marrying him in order to gain the throne, murdered Antoine's father and poisoned King Max, resulting in him becoming crippled and senile. However, despite causing more harm to the Prime Zone than Scourge ever did, he is neither arrested by the Zone Cops or imprisoned by the Kingdom of Acorn. Sonic simply dumped him back on Moebius after his cover was blown.
* KickTheDog: While impersonating Antoine, Patch goes above and beyond to destroy his life, destroying many of his possessions, ransacking his house, breaking Bunnie's heart, and poisoning his father to death. The next time they meet, Patch goes the extra mile by rubbing in Antoine's face how he killed Armand.
* ManipulativeBastard: In addition to impersonating the real Antoine, he tried to take over the Kingdom of Acorn by marrying Sally and poisoning King Max. He was thwarted but he ended up causing the death of Antoine's father.
* MasterPoisoner: He poisoned both King Max and Antoine's father using a toxin native to his own dimension, with doctors on Mobius being unable to pinpoint the cause of their deteriorating health until after Patch was exposed. By the time they do, the damage is done; Max is left wheelchair-bound once again, and Armand, who was given much heavier doses thanks to Patch [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink lacing his food with it]], ends up dying in the hospital.
* NearVillainVictory: He successfully impersonated his prime counterpart for an entire year, and came close to taking over the Kingdom of Acorn by poisoning King Max and marrying Sally. He ''only'' fails at the end because Elias [[SpannerInTheWorks decided to take the throne in place of his father]], and Patch's subsequent attempt to kill Elias leads to him being found out and Sonic booting him back to Moebius.
* NothingUpMySleeve: When Elias takes the throne, Patch attempts to poison him with a hypodermic needle hidden up his sleeve, offering him a handshake. However, before he can do so, Sonic sees the glint of the syringe in the light and puts a stop to it very quickly.
* OpportunisticBastard: Anti-Sonic got sick of Patch's repeated [[TheStarscream Starscream]] tendencies and banished him to Mobius Prime. Once there, Patch decided to use the situation to his advantage to seize power and take over the Kingdom of Acorn.
* OutOfFocus: Patch was at one point, the most prominent of the Moebius residents. However with Anti-Sonic's ascension into Scourge and the Suppression Squad coming back, Patch went back to being a standard lackey with Miles and Scourge taking focus.
* TheStarscream: Patch would always try and kill Anti-Sonic and take power for himself to the point where it had just become a regular topic of conversation amongst the Suppression-Squad. Scourge got tired of it and kicked him to Mobius, which ended up backfiring and giving Patch a better life. Even Scourge was jealous of how good Patch had it there.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Boomer]]
The Moebius counterpart to Rotor. Boomer is the team's tech expert, at one point helping Sonic get back to Mobius Prime when Scourge, then Anti-Sonic, stranged him on Moebius. When Scourge came back and revamped the team, Boomer happily took to replacing his body parts with machinery.
----
* {{Cyborg}}: He integrated himself with some permanent PowerArmor.
* EvilCounterpart: While he's the Anti-Rotor, Boomer, post upgrade, is an evil mirror of Bunnie especially as Bunnie's Moebius counterpart defected. When fighting Bunnie is suprised that Boomer would willingly alter his body for power especially as her own roboticization was unwilling.
* EvilGenius: Whips up inventions and all manner of sinister gismos for the team to use.
* SatelliteCharacter: While Boomer has done a few things on his own, notably sending Sonic home when Scourge tossed him to Moebius, he's easily the least developed compared to the other Suppression Squad members and mostly exists as a tag along. In some ways this is a similarity he has with Rotor as Rotor found himself struggling to stay relevent in the changing times.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Rosy the Rascal]]
The Moebius counterpart to Amy. She wished on a magic ring to be older for Scourge, and the ring made her crazy in exchange for granting her wish.
* AxeCrazy: How much? If it's alive, ''it can be smashed''.
* TheDreaded: Even ''Scourge'' doesn't like tangling with her. It took him having to go super just to get her out of his way.
* DropTheHammer: Just like Amy, she wields a hammer. Unlike Amy, her hammer has ''spikes'' on the end. She even winds up destroying Amy's hammer when she tries to fight her.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Well that and a magic wish that corrupted her mind.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SlasherSmile: Constantly, there barely a moment where it isn't on her face.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Showcasing how her mind has snapped, her Piko-Piko Mallet has its ends shaped into large, conical spikes, making it far more lethal.
* MythologyGag: Wears Amy's initial design from the Sonic CD games. Largely as both a way to distinguish her from Amy and to showcase that while her body has grown, her mind certainly didn't. Also her name comes from a mistranslated subtitle in for Amy in ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''.
* TragicVillain: Rosy just wanted Scourge to notice her and return her feelings. In the process, she wound up turning herself into such a psychotic little monster that even he would ''never'' love her back.
* {{Yandere}}: Rosy loves Scourge so much she wants to bust his head in.
* {{Yangire}}: She wants '''everyone''' to be smashed.

!!!Iron Dominion
[[folder: The Iron Queen (Regina Ferrum)]]
[[quoteright:338:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Iron_Queen3_9327.png]]
A technomage who controlled the Dragon Kingdom with her partner The Iron King. First seen as a more typical sorceress and reappeared later, revamped, to take control of the Eggman Empire after Eggman [[VillainousBreakdown lost his mind]].
* AmbiguouslyHuman: She looked like a human, but was married to the Iron King, an ox. A fan writing in for clarification was told she was actually a badger. However, when she was brought back it turned out The Queen is indeed human (an Overlander to be specific), and the titles "King" and "Queen" are purely honorary (so she's not an animal ''or'' in any sort of [[InterspeciesRomance Interspecies Marriage]]).
* AmplifierArtifact: Used a Power Ring to amplify her staff.
* BigBad: Of the "Iron Dominion" arc (while Eggman was incapacitated by [[spoiler: a VillainousBreakdown]].)
* BlackMagic: Her first appearance had her using actual magic as opposed to Magitek.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Upon her defeat at the hands of Sonic, she shouts out Robotnik's often-repeated statement of: "I ''HATE'' THAT HEDGEHOG!"
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance she used actual magic, spoke more informally, and struggled to take over a small area of the Dragon Kingdom.
* DragonLady: In the final clash.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Initially it seemed she was using Snively for her own ends. But when he actually came looking for her during his defection from Eggman, she actually returns his feelings for her.
* HumiliationConga: She had seemingly taken over New Metropolis, could control it at her whim and had the four houses and the Dark Egg Legion as a grand army with Iron King acting as an enforcer. Victory seemed well assured...then Nicole broke free from her control and strung her along until Sonic returned to which she turned on her. Ken informs the clans their leaders have broken ties with the Iron Dominion to which the clans promptly abandon her. Lien-Da seizes the opportunity to betray her (though that problem Regina does manage to solve by activating Lien-Da’s explosive in her cybernetics and putting her on the brink of death but this forces the Legion to flee as a result), the Iron King is sent flying through the stratosphere by Ken, Snively turns tail and goes crawling back to Eggman leaving her to fend for herself against the Freedom Fighters. She tries one last feeble attack by using the nanites to turn into a dragon. But when it's clear she's outnumbered and outgunned by the heroes, she tries to retreat, only for Sonic to stop her and drop her right in the middle of the Freedom Fighters to which she's quickly arrested. And all of that in one issue. -Whistles-
* {{Magitek}}: She can control the electrical impulses found in all active electronics and send him out at will. As you can imagine, she's quite dangerous to opponents who are partly or completely robotic. And especially to environments controlled by them.
* MeaningfulName: Regina means queen, Ferrum means iron.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Even in print, it manages to be grating.
* PlayingWithFire: In her original appearance she set Mount Stormtop on fire via magic.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- though she is actually a Frank Strom creation.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She wears a red-and-black striped dress.
* {{Retcon}}: Originally she used actual magic; in her reappearance she was stated to use technomagic.
* ShoutOut: To Princess Iron Fan from Journey to the West.
* StartOfDarkness: A backstory fleshes hers out -- she was born into a "[[{{Whatevermancy}} technomancy]]" cult, and trained in Magitek as a child. She never knew she was doing anything illegal until they were all arrested and she was ultimately exiled, with no friends or any place to go, just as the great war was breaking out. She became a villain to claw her way back to power, restore her cult's status, and get revenge.
* {{Technopath}}: She has the ability to control machinery with her magic.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The statuesque Iron Queen dating the four-foot-tall Snively.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Snively. Though it would seem each of them were to an extent using each other to advance their own positions, there's some genuine mutual affection there too.
* VainSorceress
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

[[folder: The Iron King (Jun Kun)]]
[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Iron_king_1_3118.png]]
A super strong, nigh-invulnerable ox Warlord from the Dragon Kingdom, The Iron King is the Iron Queen's partner in crime and the co-ruler of the Iron Dominion. Born with the name Jun Kun, he was initially a petty warlord with aims of conquering the Dragon Kingdom, and allowed the technomage Regina Ferrum to live in his territory so long as she used her powers to serve his purposes. The two eventually became partners, but even with Regina's powers they proved unable to hold on to power or conquer either the Free People of the Kingdom or the Ninja Clans they warred against. This changed once they received backing from Dr. Robotnik to become Sub-Bosses, establishing the Iron Dominion and conquering the Free Peoples even though the Ninja Clans still escaped their influence. He would later join the Iron Queen in trying to take Eggman's empire for their own, clashing with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters several times before finally being defeated along with the Iron Queen. His current whereabouts are unknown.
* AchillesHeel: To the Fan of Xen Fing.
* ALoadOfBull: Rather self-evident.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: How he's finally defeated when Ken breaks out a mystical fan he had thought hidden away. With one sweep, Ken sends him flying right out of the kingdom.
* AttackAttackAttack: His default strategy. Then again seeing how strong as he is, it's pretty justifed.
* BigNo: Lets this out after he's sent flying by the Fan of Fen Xing for the second time.
* TheBrute: Could be the poster child for this position in the comics, being big on brawn and possessing little in the way of brains.
* DumbMuscle: While more ambitious than most in this regard, in the end he’s this… he doesn’t have much in the way of strategic thinking beyond hitting things really hard, and generally leaves the planning to the Iron Queen.
* {{Expy}}: In some ways, to Kalibak of the DC Comics universe, being a big bruiser with an affinity for using a Tremor Mace in combat.
* GeneralFailure: He was this before getting before receiving backing from Robotnik, being unable to conquer either the Free People of the Dragon Kingdom OR the Ninja Clans.
* TheJuggernaut: Plays this role in the comic, being super-strong and almost impossible to really hurt. The best most can manage against him is slowing him down rather than flat out defeating him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Towers over his subordinates, along with everyone else.
* MeaningfulName: His name, Jun Kun, roughly translates into ‘Ruler of Earth’.
* MightyGlacier: Neither physically nor mentally the quickest of individuals, but still very, VERY powerful.
* NighInvulnerability: Another of his powers. Curiously, he is the only character in the comic with Super-Strength who is also displayed as being invulnerable.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Even with the comic gradually utilizing the streamlined design philosophy of the games for most of its Mobian characters, the Iron King still stands out.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he realizes the heroes have the Fan of Fen Xing.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Takes enormous pride in being a warrior and is VERY boastful about his prowess as one. This had lead him to commit acts of BondVillainStupidity, as he believes that letting someone live with the shame of defeat is worse than actually killing them… sufficed to say, this does not work out well for him. At all.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- like with the Queen, he is actually a Frank Strom creation.
* ShoutOut: Just as Monkey Khan is a shoutout to Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, so too is the Iron King a shoutout to the Demon Bull King of the same story, being a big evil Ox who has clashed with Monkey Khan in the past.
* UnholyMatrimony: Subverted; his title is strictly ceremonial, and he is emphatically NOT the Iron Queen’s husband. Though he was weirdly resentful of Snively during the time they spent in New Megaopolis…
* SuperStrength: Confirmed to be one of the top five strongest creatures on Mobius.
* WeaponOfChoice: His Tremor Mace.

!!!Other Villains
[[folder: Mammoth Mogul]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9-6-10_Mogul_6056.jpg]]
An ancient mammoth wizard with a penchant for verbosity.
* AffablyEvil: As power hungry as he is, he is distinguished by his upper-class etiquette, and has scruples concerning bargains. Is also finding enjoyment as a businessman to pass time before he can finally make a power play. That doesn't mean he won't enjoy making Sonic's life hell in the mean time however.
* AGodAmI: When hopped up on enough Chaos energy, he became [[SuperMode Master Mogul]], who was strong enough to nearly destroy ''[[TheMultiverse the whole Multiverse]]''. Fortunately, [[TheChosenOne Tails]] was able to stop him.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Of Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/VandalSavage. They're both a centuries-old warlord who was given immortality by GreenRocks. And like Vandal Savage in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, Mogul ends up surviving a future disaster and regretting the things he's done.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Usually can be seen sporting a really nice suit.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He ended up defeating Dimitri as Enerjak by showing up and depowering him to advance his own plans. In the "Enerjak Reborn" arc Sonic admits its a shame that they don't have any other magical bad guys on hand to do the dirty work again with the new Enerjak.
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series.
* CompleteImmortality: His main schtick, thanks to the Chaos Emerald embedded in his chest.
* CruelElephant: A villainous mammoth with ambitions of world domination.
* DevilInPlainSight: His current status.
* EvilerThanThou: Pulled this on Dimitri and Ixis Naugus. His speech to a hospitalized Dimitri cinches it.
-->'''Mogul:''' We're two of a kind, you and I! Both creations from our exposure to the Chaos Emerald and both staring deep into the dark abyss.\\
'''Dimitri:''' You didn't mention -- how much -- we're accountable for!\\
'''Mogul:''' Is that a guilty conscience you're wearing on your sleeve Dimitri? It's a bit late in the game for that, wouldn't you say?\\
'''Dimitri:''' I did what I believed to be right! Can you say the same?\\
'''Mogul:''' The only thing that matters in life is survival! All else is secondary!
* EvilIsPetty: Sonic's opinion of him. He's powerful but more focused on greed than anything and not above just trying to make Sonic look bad.
* EvilSorcerer: The strongest in the series.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/VandalSavage. Both of which seeking world conquest, as well as immortality after being exposed to a cosmic power.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of almost the entire pre-genesis wave continuity, arguably. [[spoiler: Thousands of years ago, he founded the Order of Ixis, which eventually led to the creation of Ixis Naugus, whose actions, which may include starting the Great War, in turn led to Dr. Robotnik's rise to power, who's death ultimately led to nearly every villain in the book today, with Naugus responsible for the ones that aren't Mogul. Naugus and Robotnik are still quite active (and are, in fact, the current top two villains of the series), whereas Mogul has semi-retired from active villainy, running a casino and deciding to use his immortality to outlive the heroes and make his move then.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: In the far off future since there isn't really anything for him to take over anymore due to the world being destroyed. He devotes his time to training Silver.
* InformedAbility: Boasts in one instance when lacking a Chaos Emerald that he still has his magic and claims to possess SuperStrength due to his great size (he never took part in fight without using magic in the past), but got knocked out by Sally and a motorcycle immediately afterwords.
* LongGame: After gaining a new Chaos Emerald and his full power, he decides to take advantage of his immortality and simply wait it out until Sonic either died or was too old to oppose him, then resume his plan to TakeOverTheWorld; by this point, he's realized that no matter what he does or how powerful he gets, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin Sonic would]] ''[[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin always]]'' [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin find a way to win]].
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: His Casino Night Club, where he employs retired badniks and is directly adjacent to a place called the ''[[ObviouslyEvil Bottom of the Barrel Bar and Grill]]''.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Almost always a very fine suit.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As a mammoth, he looks a lot more realistic than many of the other Mobians.
* OldMaster: He's Silver's mentor in his future, having apparently seen the error of his ways, and Silver is completely ignorant of his former status as a villain.
* PragmaticVillainy: Mogul always presents himself as a man of class and treats his minions semi-decently as long as the benefits outweigh the costs. When he is imprisoned inside the Egg Grapes with his faction, Eggman notes that Mogul is protecting all of them from the life draining machines with his powers. As the Egg Grapes drain his energy more and more, Mogul retracts that protection to save himself, leaving the Arachne to die and forcing Naugus to take the brunt of the effects which left him with brain damage for a while. Though he still saved the Destructix, they abandon him, knowing if they'd been trapped longer he'd have let the Grapes kill them like the rest of Eggman's victims.
* PsychicPowers: Part and parcel of his super-powers.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- though ironically actually a Scott Fulop creation. Fulop would eventually lose in his attempt to claim copyright in court against Archie Comics.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Is, at least, ''12,000'' years old.
* SealedEvilInACan: Mogul has been sealed away a number of times in the series, but he always breaks loose.
** He was briefly sealed in the Master Emerald when it was formed, and escaped when Eggman broke it to feed Chaos.
** He was also trapped inside his [[HoistByHisOwnPetard own Chaos Emerald]] for a while and held there by the Ancient Walkers. However having wounded them earlier they were dying and he finally kills them when his plans for the Arachne to retrieved the Sword of Acorns comes to past.
** He was then imprisoned in the Egg Grapes, Eggman noted that Mogul's powers prevented him from degrading like so many other victims of the process. A.D.A.M. eventually frees him.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He is notably verbose in his speech, and routinely mocked for this.
-->'''Geoffery St. John:''' You said that all in one breath. You '''are''' a talker.
* StockDinosaurs: While mammoths are not true dinosaurs, they're among the most well-known and iconic of prehistoric non-dinosaurs. Mogul is also notable in that he's one of the ''only'' characters in the series to be derived from an extinct animal as opposed to an extant one.
* StrongAndSkilled: Best shown after stealing Enerjak's power. In addition to being a borderline RealityWarper, Mogul has had over a millennium to learn and master multiple different forms of combat, and was a match for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles' super forms simultaneously.
* TaughtByExperience: After breaking out of the prison in New Mobotropolis, he avoids fighting Sonic. Realizing that no matter what he did, SOMETHING would stop him, Mogul decided that since he was immortal, he would just wait till Sonic died of old age. And then TakeOverTheWorld. This probably wound up backfiring, because whatever cataclysm hit in the future wound up doing it in Sonic's lifetime and he likely wasn't powerful enough to combat the new threat, which likely contributed to his HeelFaceTurn in the future.
* WickedCultured: Despite his oft-unabashed malevolent goals, he conducts himself with great pride and decorum.
* VillainRespect: In spite of all of his attempts at killing the heroes he does hold some respect for them. When he and Amadeus Prower are in prison, Mogul tells him that Tails is a remarkable boy and that Amadeus should be proud of his son.

[[caption-width-right:350:Knuckles Incarnation]]
A demigod being imbued with the power of a living Chaos Emerald. While only two incarnations have been seen in the series, there are at least ''four'' incarnations.
The first Enerjak was a scientist whom the Ancient Walkers allowed to ascend into the Chaos Force alongside his lover Aurora. However, Enerjak became corrupted during his transcedence, he was scattered throughout the Chaos Force, but his dark spirit lingered on...
The second Enerjak, a researcher like the first, was corrupted by one of his experiments and possessed by the Enerjak's spirit. Rising to power during the Forgotten War between the Order of Ixis and the Albion Knights of Aurora, he was such a threat that the two warring factions agreed to a temporarily allience and defeated him through unknown means.
The third Enerjack(the first seen in the comics) was Dimitri, who attempted to drain power from the Chaos Emeralds that were keeping Angel Island afloat to try to bring it back down to earth. [[GoneHorriblyWrong His device failed,]] granting him the power that rivaled a god, which he intended to use until he was sealed away for several centuries. Eventually he returned to finish what he'd started by menacing Angel Island, only to be thwarted several times by the Guardian Knuckles. He was eventually stripped of his power by Mogul using the Sword of Acorns, ending the third Enerjak's reign for good.
The fourth and final Enerjack was the very Guardian Knuckles himself. Manipulated into becoming Enerjack by the evil Dr. Finitevus, Enerjack would proceed to eliminate nearly all threats to Angel Island in a single day; he banished the Dingoes to Sandopolis, vaporised their leader General Kage Von Stryker with their city, stripped the Dark Legion of their cybernetic implants (which he deemed "impure"), and destroyed Dr. Eggman's Egg Fleet with little effort. However, his time as Enerjack came to an end when Sonic went into his Super Form and, while he was distracted fighting him, Knuckles' father Locke sacrificed his life to break the spell he was under, bringing an end to the fourth incarnation of Enerjak.
For tropes pretaining to the Dark Mobius incarnations, go [[Characters/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehogOthers here]].
----
* EvilerThanThou: Eggman managed to capture the Knuckles incarnation, siphoning off some of his energy using his Egg Grapes. Enerjak proceeded to escape and decimate Eggman's forces and city, forcing the good doctor to take cover.
* AGodAmI: All of them, and they more or less are.
* HeroKiller: Is extremely feared by the heroes regardless of the incarnation. Knuckles really only survived against Dimitri the first time due to IdiotBall moments on Dimitri's part, Knuckles required Super Sonic to fight him, when Knuckles was Enerjak, Super Sonic was needed to fight him.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Every incarnation of Enerjak is a nigh-omnipotent RealityWarper, their powers and feats limited only by their imagination.
* TheJuggernaut: Went toe-to-toe with ''Super Sonic''.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Knuckles incarnation gets in on this quite a bit:
** Decimating Eggman's city and forces, which contributed to the good doctor's ongoing VillainousBreakdown. Of course, considering Eggman had recently nuked Knothole off the face of Mobius and gleefully tried to use its population to power his forces via the life-sucking Egg Grape Champers, on top of numerous other atrocities, you won't feel bad for him.
--->'''Enerjak''': There. I was planning on punishing Dr. Eggman anyway.
** His killing of Kage Von Stryker, by slowly tearing him apart molecule by molecule. Considering Kage was a racist bastard who overthrew his more reasonable father as the leader of the Dingo Regime, happily worked for Eggman in order to [[FinalSolution wipe out the Echidna population]], and went so far as to put numerous Echidnas in what were blatantly [[POWCamp Nazi-style concentration camps]], he gets absolutely no sympathy from the audience.
* KnightOfCerebus: Any time a version of Enerjak shows up, it's a sign things will take a turn for the worse.
* LegacyCharacter: So far, Dimitri, Knuckles, his counterpart from the "Dark Mobius" universe, and said counterpart's daughter have worn the mantle of Enerjak. Finitevus has implied that there have been more, touching back on the fact that when in flashbacks Dimitri took the name Enerjak he said he was taking the name of an "ancient evil."
** The [[AllThereInTheManual encyclopedia]] released recently reveals [[spoiler:Dimitri was the ''third'' Enerjak. The first was an echidna researcher who was given the chance to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence but became corrupted and his consciousness was scattered across the Chaos Force. This original Enerjak [[DemonicPossession suppresses the consciousness]] of others, including Dimitri, Knuckles, and an unnamed Enerjak who fought in the Forgotten Wars.]]
* PhysicalGod: Even among super form characters these guys are strong.
* RealityWarper: To a slight degree.
* OmnicidalManiac: More Dimitri than Knuckles' incarnation.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SmugSnake: The Dimitri incarnation shows that he is far more powerful than Knuckles, and only loses because he flat doesn't use his powers when fighting him.
* UnskilledButStrong: A failing of the Dimitri incarnation, wielding demigod powers at his minimum, Dimitri constantly underestimates his opponents, becomes extremely frustrated with those on his level that he can't simply steamroll over, (causing him to make careless mistakes), and doesn't know how to strategize. Not helping is the fact that prior to gaining his power, Dimitri was a scientist echidna, not a warrior, so he has no experience in actual fighting. Knuckles, who is a trained fighter, lands several good hits on him, and even points out to him; "All that power and I'm still surprised at what a glass jaw you have!" and; "You may be stronger, but do you even know how to fight?"
* WellIntentionedExtremist: More Knuckles' incarnation than Dimitri's.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The Knuckles incarnation suffers this when he fights Super Sonic; Super Sonic only managed to last as long as he did thanks to a combination of his NighInvulnerability, the fact that Enerjak had just been drained of much of his Chaos energy by Eggman's [[SoulPoweredEngine Egg Grape Chambers]], and Knuckles' limited imagination preventing him from using Enerjak's power to [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower its fullest extent]].

[[folder: Uma Arachnis / Arachne]]
[[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arachnis_9100.png]]
A mysterious spider ninja and servant to Ixis Naugus with a drive to claim the mystical Sword of Acorns. She and her children, a ninja team of Spiders dubbed 'The Arachne', took it upon themselves to steal the sword from any who wished to wield it, good or evil. Both Arachnis and her children died guarding the sword.
* TheAce: She was the top ninja of her clan.
* AllWebbedUp: A natural ability of hers as a spider.
* EnigmaticMinion: For years her origin, why she was in the Zone of Silence, and her reasons for serving Naugus (and later Kodos) were unexplained. Eventually it was revealed that she was a member of the Gossamer Clan, and that her allegiance Naugus and Kodos was all part of a VERY convoluted scheme to prevent the Source of All from falling into evil.
* GeneticMemory: A natural ability, this is how she continued her plans after death and how her children gained their skills and drive to capture the Sword of Acorns.
* KilledOffForReal:
** Uma Arachnis badly wounded by Kodos after he went nuts, later dying from the poison killing Kodos.
** The Arachne were all victims of the Egg Grapes.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She has SIX arms, courtesy of being a spider.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Often fought with several weapons at once. Interestingly, her children all specialized in the use of a single weapon.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheQuietOne: Only spoke a few times over the course of the entire comic.
* ScrewDestiny: By peering into her clan’s mystical ‘Web of Destiny’, she foresaw that the Source of All would eventually fall into the hands of evil. Everything she did in the comic was to stop this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything she did was done to prevent a catastrophe. Towards this end she allied with power hungry would-be world conquerors and set-up her own children to continue her goals after her death.

[[folder: Warlord Kodos]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2020_07_22_kodos03_webp_webp_image_567_641_pixels.png]]
The Kingdom of Acorn's Warlord before Julian, he's a key figure to the comic's backstory. Plotting to overthrow King Acorn long before Robotnik came along, Kodos conspired with Ixis Naugus towards this end and even helped him drive the kindly Nate Morgan out of the Kingdom. Later, with the help of Naugus, he would orchestrate the Great War, and was eventually betrayed and banished to the Zone of Silence by Julian, where he would become a lackey of Naugus. After escaping the Zone of Silence, Kodos went solo, clashing several times with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters and as well trying to capture the Sword of Acorns. Eventually driven mad by the irradiated environment of Robotropolis and died falling into a crevice.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: Had plans to overthrow the King before Robotnik betrayed him.
* AnAxeToGrind: His weapon of choice.
* AxCrazy: Became this eventually. By the time of his final appearance he had been driven completely mad, with an obsessive focus on the Sword of Acorns.
* TheBerserker: Tended to resort to most problems with his axe, and relished every minute of it. After being poisoned, he took this UpToEleven.
* BloodKnight: Pretty much his whole motivation for starting the Great War, as he only knows how to fight.
* TheBrute: Served this role when working for Naugus, though he was a bit smarter and much more ambitious than most examples of this trope.
* CatsAreMean: The meanest in this comic; he started the Great War out of raw hatred and ambition.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Much like his partners Naugus and Robotnik, Kodos ultimately doesn't cotton to playing second fiddle, plotting to betray his king and then attempting to murder Naugus when they succeeded at their plan to drive Nate Morgan away.
* DisneyVillainDeath: How he met his end, though he would have died eventually even if he hadn't taken a plunge.
* FantasticRacism: Felt a great deal of this for Overlanders, enough so that he not only framed Nate Morgan and successfully drove him into self-exile, but also ended up orchestrating the Great War. Interestingly, he was willing to put this aside and actually tried to coax Julian into assisting him with his own plans for taking over the Kingdom, recognizing him as a kindred spirit.
* GeneralFailure: While a brave and fierce warrior, Kodos ultimately became this during the Great War, proving unable to beat back the Overlanders. It's also the reason he was demoted in favor of Julian when the latter defected over to the Mobians.
* KilledOffForReal: After being poisoned by Robotropolis' toxins he became a feral, maddened beast, going on a rampage and attempting to steal the Sword of Acorns. After a brief battle with the Freedom Fighters he fell into a crevice, and WordofGod states that if the fall didn't kill him he would have eventually succumbed to the toxins anyway.
* MysteriousPast: The Encyclopedia notes that not much is known of Kodos Lion's history before coming to the Kingdom of Acorn. He was born in the Efrikan continent and the peaceful ways of his home made him leave to seek combat, but beyond that nothing else is known.
* PantheraAwesome: Comes with being a lion.
* PredecessorVillain: To Robotnik. Like Robotnik, he was the Warlord of the Kingdom of Acorn and a trusted servant of the King, and secretly plotted to usurp his liege and dominate Mobius afterwards. Even better, he tutored Robotnik in the art of war and tried to induct him into his conspiracy to conquer the Kingdom, only to be betrayed by him.
* PutOnABus: Dead, but now can never be referenced after the reboot.
* RockBeatsLaser: Evidently a practitioner of this; flashbacks show that even during the Great War he only ever fought with his battleaxe, while the Overlanders were into using guns and futuristic tech to fight the Mobians. Somehow, despite this, he managed to survive the war long enough for Robotnik to defect over to the Kingdom.
* TakenForGranite: When he returns from the Zone of Silence with Naugus, Naugus turns him into crystal to increase Kodos's durability in battle. When Naugus's wand is destroyed, Kodos loses the magic animating his crystaline body and became a "temporary" statue.
* WouldHurtAChild: Upon finding a teenage Mobian and Overlander conspiring to end the war via false scouting reports, Kodos has them brought before him and then proceeds to murder them both with his bare hands. He sends their bodies to their respective sides, hoping to finally turn the longstanding aggression into a war.

[[folder: Dr. Finitevus]]
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dr__Finitevus_1_7631.png]]
Originally a normal echidna scientist, he was corrupted by excessive Chaos Energy when attempting to de-power Chaos Knuckles. This renegade Echidna has developed a twisted belief that the world is corrupt that needs to be cleansed, and will do anything he can to accomplish his goals.
* AbortedArc: Last seen of him was in a ''Sonic Universe'' arc where he tried to steal the Master Emerald. He was defeated and thrown off Angel Island but was still scheming something. He's mentioned by the Destructix that they made a deal with him in exchange for needing a Warp Ring to bust out Scrouge. But then the Cosmic Retcon happened and any storylines with him went out the window.
* ArchEnemy: To Knuckles, replacing Dimitri.
* BigBad: For the "Enerjak Reborn" arc.
* CombatPragmatist: Rather than fighting hand-to-hand, he prefers using his warp rings to make enemies knock themselves out. He's also threatened to close a warp ring while someone is only partially through it.
* EnemyMine: Partnered with Locke to prevent A.D.A.M. from seizing the Master Emerald on the grounds that he "[[{{Foreshadowing}} needed it for his own reasons]]". He later used this temporary alliance (plus hired humanitarian aid from the Destructix) to convince Locke to leave Angel Island in his care and search for his ancestors.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: At the end of the Enerjak Reborn arc, he happily informs Julie-Su, Archimedes, and Locke that the only way to free Knuckles from his control is if one of them performs a HeroicSacrifice to break the hex. He's caught by surprise when all three of them volunteer to do so without hesitation, and calls them "grave-eager fools".
* EvilCounterpart: To Knuckles, in a way. He actually looks a bit like a negative photo of Knux, fights using similar powers, and has an evil version of the emerald chant from Sonic Adventure.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Ordinarily a brilliant mind from the Echidna city of Albion, an incident involving Chaos Knuckles, Saffron and Charmy Bee, and an invention of his own creation led to his transformation into one of the worst villains Mobius had ever seen. Dangerous and manipulative, he nearly brought about The EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt by using Knuckles, and was directly responsible for Albion's destruction and the deaths of hundreds of Echidnas.
* HijackingCthulhu: The entire point of his Enerjak Reborn project was to make a new incarnation of [[PhysicalGod Enerjal]] that he could control to enact his goals.
* KarmaHoudini: While none of his plans have ever worked the way he intended, he's still responsible for Enerjak rampaging across Moebius and has yet to suffer any beat downs or HumiliationConga defeats the way other villains have, because he always [[VillainExitStageLeft gets away thanks to his warp rings.]]
** Save for the last encounter with Knuckles which ended with him thrown off Angel Island. He survives (albeit it with a broken arm) but at least he had more of a defeat there.
%%* MadScientist
* ManipulativeBastard: He once manipulated Scourge, the Destructix, Dimitri, Knuckles and his father, and ''two'' factions of the Dark Legion into helping him create a new Enerjak.
* ObviouslyEvil: By far the most evil looking character in the comic and often lampshaded by ''Scourge'' of all people who refers to him as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Dr Creepy Von Evil"]].
%%* OmnicidalManiac
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In his debut, Finitevus has to deal with an Echidna couple who's child had been blinded and who wanted Knuckles to cure him with his chosen one powers. Finitevus had told them that the Legion could restore the child's sight easily through robotic implants and the couples' insistence in relying on superstition instead of hard science causes Finitevus to get into a shouting fit.
** Though Finitevus is one of the most morally black characters he also teams up with the heroes a number of times when his goals align with theirs. He allied with the Dark Legion and the Brotherhood against Eggman and the Dingo Regime and later he and Locke worked together to stop A.D.A.M. from taking the Master Emerald.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- although he is actually a Karl Bollers creation.
%%* VillainExitStageLeft
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes that the world is corrupt, and that it needs to be "purified" - in other words, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroyed]]. Though it's more KnightTemplar if anything.
* YouKilledMyFather: Not directly, but Knuckles holds him responsible for the death of his father, since Locke killed himself in order to free Knuckles from Finitevus' control.

[[folder: Sand-Blaster Freedom Fighters]]
A group of freedom fighters who originally fought against Robotnik's tyranny in Sand Blast City. However, after the Robians were de-roboticized, they revealed that the fighting [[HeWhoFightsMonsters had left them self-centered, cruel, and prejudiced]]; they treated the former robians so badly that they ''willingly'' returned to Eggman and signed on as members of his Dark Egg Legion to defend themselves.
* FantasticRacism: Their treatment of the former Robians is definitely an example of this; "Once a Robian, always a Robian," was their motto.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Let's just say they're not the most morally upright Freedom Fighter group.
* JerkAss: Every single one of 'em
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Deconstructed when they first meet Sonic, as they like him ''so'' much they try to keep him captive.
* MyGreatestFailure: This is the subject of a story where Sonic reflects on how he could probably have dealt with them in a better way the first time. A talk about it helps him deal, and he soon has even [[SerialEscalation bigger problems]] on his mind. This is before the Sand-Blasters ''really'' JumpOffTheSlipperySlope.
* OhCrap: When Jack finds out that Mighty had tricked him with a phony identity and was league with the Chaotix, he orders his troops to fire on Mighty as, as the time, he was being bound by shackles. Mighty's sister, Matilda, got in the way and took a blast for him. As you can imagine, Mighty didn't take kindly to that since he had just reunited with her. Cue UnstoppableRage, Mighty breaking loose, and single-handily going to town on their vehicles, forcing them to run for their lives. [[spoiler: Considering this was their last appearance before the retcon, it was a fitting send off.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Their prejudice against and mistreatment of the ex-Robians in Sand Blast City is what drove them to join the Dark Egg Legion in the first place.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Not that the separate Freedom Fighter groups were a unified front in the first place, but this one always stood out.
* ShoutOut: Their appearances were based on several ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters. Jack Rabbit was Bugs Bunny, Tex was Wile E. Coyote, and Rev was the Road Runner.

[[folder: General Helmut von Stryker]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/VonStryker_4157.jpg]]
The leader of the Dingo Regime, Helmut Von Stryker was an enemy of Knuckles’ turned quasi-ally. For centuries the dingoes and echidna fought tooth and nail. When both the dingoes and the echidna returned from their pocket dimensions in the present, Von Stryker attempted to resume the ancient feud only to be beaten back by Knuckles while the Dingo’s home city was destroyed. Living at the mercy of his former enemies, Von Stryker did everything in his power to try and ensure that his people would have a life outside the slums of Echidnapolis, encouraging extreme activism to get his message across. Was temporarily usurped by his son, and in the aftermath, he returned to leading his people in the Sandopolis Zone.
* AntiHero: Though he debuts as an antagonist Helmut ultimately spends more time as a heroic character or uneasy ally.
* AntiVillain: While generally antagonistic toward Knuckles and echidna-kind, Von Stryker’s main concerns were taking care of his people and ensuring that they were given the same standard of living as the echidna.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Overlaps with AssKickingEqualsAuthority.
* BadassNormal: Despite being a normal dingo, he managed to punch Mammoth Mogul in the face and live.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Punched Mammoth Mogul in the face while Mogul was ‘Master Mogul’, and actually managed to hurt him.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He outfits himself with a powerful gauntlet for his first fight with Knuckles. Subsequent fights with the Dark Legion and Mammoth Mogul had him resort to standard Dingo Firearms and his own physical strength.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He didn't approve of his son's methods but he did love him nonetheless and is visibly sadden by his death.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may have been against the Echidnas but he never went as far as enslaving them as his son did. He just wanted a better life for his people away from them. He's also not above teaming with Knuckles for the greater good.
* EyepatchAfterTimeskip: Stryker was last seen leading the Dingos in an attack against the Xorda superweapon pre-timeskip. Post-timeskip he was MIA for quite a while as his son had deposed him; when he appears again in the desert he's revealed to be wearing an eyepatch likely as a result of his son.
* FantasticRacism: As per tradition, feels a good deal of this towards the echidna.
* FightingForAHomeland: His ultimate goal. The Dingo’s own homeland was destroyed when the zones shifted, and since then he has been trying to give his people a life that didn’t rely on the Echidna’s dubious ‘charity’. In the aftermath of Enerjak Reborn, he got what he wanted.
* FourStarBadass: Seems to be a prerequisite for being the leader of the dingoes.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Had a rather gnarly looking one over his right eye. When his son took over the regime, he [[EyepatchOfPower lost it entirely]].
* HeartbrokenBadass: In spite of everything, he still loved his son. Kage's death shook him despite his acknowledgment that he was a tyrant.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A major difficulty that Knuckles had in dealing with Stryker during the Dingo immigration into Echidnopolis is that Stryker was often in the right. The Dingoes were stuck as second class citizens and Stryker's belief that the government was attempting to go back on their promise for housing is ultimately proven correct. Even though he was critical of them, Stryker really did try to have the Dingoes cooperate with the Echidnas and mobilized them to defend the city multiple times.
* LargeAndInCharge: Before the ArtShift dingoes were typically portrayed as being taller than other animals, and Von Stryker was bigger than the other Dingo.
* NobleBigot: While feeling a great deal of loathing for the echidna, he looked out for his people’s best interests and fought against his son’s genocidal actions.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Dingo society revolved around their military, and is more about discipline and order than ‘honor’ and ‘might makes right’.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* ShoutOut: His design and Germanic name are shout-outs to Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he did was done in the name of giving his people a better life.

[[folder: General Kage von Stryker]]
[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KageVonStryker_6545.png]]
The son of Helmut Von Stryker. During Sonic’s time in space, Kage overthrew his father for leadership of the dingoes and accepted military backing from the Eggman Empire. With their combined troops, technology, and weaponry, Kage began a horrific war of retribution and conquest against the echidna. He was eventually ousted from power thanks to the efforts of Knuckles, Sonic, and the Chaotix, but unfortunately, he managed to reduce the Echidna population significantly. During the Enerjak Reborn arc, Kage was disintegrated after bad-mouthing Enerjak.
* AntagonisticOffspring: He was this towards his father, whom he resented for actually working with the echidna rather than taking the most violent route possible.
* AssholeVictim: Knuckles as Enerjak is unleashed on the world and he does a lot of damage. He displaces people, depowered the legion, exiled the innocent Echidna, and attacked his friends. However when it came to actual murder the only one he ended up killing was Kage which kept him from becoming too unsympathetic considering Kage's notorious cruelty.
* BrokenPedestal: He once respected his father, but became frustrated by his willingness to work with the echidna, leading Kage to usurp his position.
* {{Cyborg}}: His entire left side, as well as his right hand and the right half of his face, is cybernetic.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: His father still had some feelings of paternal affection for him after all he'd done. Though considering what Kage did to him it's implied this wasn't mutual.
* EvilerThanThou: Helmut may have hated echidnas, but he could be reasoned with and was willing to open a dialogue with them. Kage would not and resented that Helmut would even consider working with them.
* FantasticRacism: Like his father, he hates the echidna. Unlike his father, he decided to just kill them all.
* FascistButInefficient: While Helmut was authoritarian most viewed his administration as fairly effective; Kage by contrast was far more of a fascist and his rule was far less effective. Even though Kage was essentially running Angel Island for a time, his regime was mostly concerned about snuffing out the echidnas and working to expand Eggman's grip. The Dingo Regime still traded with the outside world but a number of civilian Dingos noted how much more efficient Helmut's rule was than Kage's.
* KickTheDog: Kage was often depicted as cruel and brutal to the point of pointlessness.
** The Echidna population was reduced significantly because of Kage and his actions. He even willingly joined the Eggman Empire for the resources to carry out his genocide.
** While he enjoyed torturing Locke he was at least under orders by Eggman to get information from him. What he did to Harry though was largely because Harry's betrayal pissed him off and Kage disfigured him.
* KilledOffForReal: He's vaporized by Enerjak.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The dingoes, in general, skirted this line thanks to their fascist styled culture and their leader, but after Kage took over it becomes blatant; menacing uniforms, a flag with a red, black and white color scheme, enacting genocidal cruelty against a longstanding ethnic enemy by putting them into work-camps, etc.
* PsychoElectro: His cybernetics gave him this powerset.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Before his introduction, there had never been any mention of Helmut Von Stryker having a son or any kind of family.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To his father. He was created when the writers decided that Von Stryker going on a genocidal rampage was out of character.
* TooDumbToLive: Yes, Kage, mouth off about how many echidna you’ve killed to the crazy echidna demigod. That’s BOUND to work out for you in the long run.
* TortureTechnician: Liked to handle this job personally.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He's his dad with cyborg parts.
* TheUsurper: Overthrew his father for command over the dingoes.

[[folder: A.D.A.M]]
A computer program meant to serve Eggman. It gained sentience and assumed control of Eggman's nanites, using the Freedom Fighter, Tommy Turtle, as a living avatar to bond onto and try to kill the doctor.
* AIIsACrapshoot: For the good doctor though no ally of the Freedom Fighters. He's looking out for himself.
* BaitTheDog: Initially A.D.A.M. didn't seem all that bad. He was a ComicallySerious character with a naivety stemming from his literal-mindedness; Tails even "defeats" him in the first arc by playing a game of riddles, which A.D.A.M. admits to having enjoyed. As the series goes on A.D.A.M. grows to be a much more violent, manipulative, and cruel character than originally believed, nearly killing Bunnie, jacking Tommy's body, and having his sister M killed.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to his sister Mecha's Abel. Mecha and A.D.A.M. actually didn't have much of a relationship at all, but A.D.A.M. saw her as a threat to his plans and tricked Robotnik into ordering her to self destruct; later A.D.A.M. would delete her files himself. It's implied that part of this was out of envy of M being Eggman's favorite.
* FunWithAcronyms: Short for Autonomous Digital Assault Microbe. Also for "Adam Determines Anonymous' Movements".
* ManipulativeBastard: Manipulated a lot of event behind the scenes including Mammoth Mongol, Ixis and the Destructix as well as Eggman. This lead to the death of his "sister", M whom he framed was working against Eggman. Eggman promptly had M self destruct as a result and any files of her deleted. He later regretted that decision when he found out A.D.A.M's deception.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Sorta, due to making a city full of nanites. NICOLE would later use it to create a New Mobotropolis, locating the citizens of Knothole there after Eggman destroys their initial home.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. However, his nanites are briefly mentioned in the first post-reboot issue.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: When it took control of the nanites, it was able to do this. Though could only move around using Tommy Turtle's body.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Nicolette "Nic" the Weasel]]
Nack's younger sister and a capable thief and bounty hunter in her own right. She had a rivalry with Rouge and Fiona Fox. Gone after the Penders lawsuit.
* AmbiguousSituation: The Encyclopedia remarks on her disappearance with rumors ranging from retirement to Nack having killed her.
* PunchClockVillain: In contrast to Nack whose enmity with the Freedom Fighters grows more personal and ugly, Nic is just about a paycheck and is fine working with the good-guys so long as she's compensated. Even her debut was as a fairly neutral and non-hostile party who even saved Ray (though she expected to be paid for the deed).
* PunnyName: Nic and Nack, or knickknack.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. Being the sister of Nack (a Sega character) might still have gotten her booted from the reboot continuity.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Nic just sort of disapears from the story. Fiona references her in a flashback and the Encyclopedia offers some theories, but in story Nic never appeared again. Flynn considered killing her off but fan reaction made him reconsider, but then the reboot hit and Nic was dropped from the story.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: One proposed redesign would have changed her look completely, with her fur going from purple to pink.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Thrash the Devil]]
A Tasmanian devil who has a beef with the echidnas, due to the fact that they experimented upon the Tasmanian Devils in ancient times and ultimately caused them to devolve into feral, unintelligent beasts now known as "Devil Dogs". As such, he has butted heads with Knuckles a few times.
* AntiVillain: He's against Eggman like many of the cast and willing to fight for the greater good. But his main focus is on the echidnas for what they did to his people. And he'll do anything to make sure they pay for their crimes.
* ArchEnemy: To Knuckles via an association to echidna.
* CruelMercy: Chooses to "spare" Knuckles rather than banishing him into another Zone with the rest of the echidna population. He views this as LaserGuidedKarma of the "eye for an eye" kind; now they're ''both'' the LastOfHisKind.
* TheBadGuyWins: Wasn't intended, but the lawsuit with Penders forced the writers to allow him to succeed in his plan to trap the echidnas (and Saffron) in parts unknown via a warp ring. Achieving his revenge and leaving Knuckles the last of his kind.
* EnemyMine: With Knuckles during the ''Knuckles The Return'' arc in ''Sonic Universe'' as the Freedom Fighters there are trying to stop Finitevus.
* LastOfHisKind: One of the few non-feral Tasmanian Mobians left, if not the only one left.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Can uses a sonic howl as his main power.
* PutOnABus: Upon pulling this trope on most of the remaining echidnas, he was last seen jumping into his warp ring during his fight with Knuckles, which deactivates and prevents Knuckles from following. He won't be returning due to the reboot erasing him from existence.
* TokenEvilTeammate: To the Downunda Freedom Fighters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Colin Kintober]]
The Chief Justice in the Overlander society and one of its premier Generals, Colin was a major player during the Great War. He's the brother of Robotnik and the father of Snively. After the war was lost, Colin took his people into space, seeking a new planet to inhabit. With their search fruitless they returned to Mobius only to be welcomed by Dr. Eggman, his brother from another dimension.
----
* AbusiveParent: Was this to his son, Snively. Likely the reason Snively joined Robotnik.
* AntiVillain: An Overlander-supremacist, but dedicated to the survival and protection of his people.
* CainAndAbel: ZigZagged with Robotnik. It was Colin who first acted against his brother, sentencing him to prison for experimenting on their people and ordering his death when he escaped. Robotnik never really got the chance to pay his brother back as he'd fled the planet by the time the Doctor attained power. With Eggman though it's flipped around. Eggman killed the Colin of his dimension and ultimately lures in and kills Prime-Colin as well.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: While Colin wasn't privy to many of Robotnik's atrocities, he did sentence him for his crimes against humanity and with that in mind shouldn't have been so quick to judge his brother as having reformed. It's to the extent that he refuses to believe that Eggman is behind the Robians as Hope claims... until Eggman himself enters and personally confirms that Hope is telling the truth.
* KilledOffForReal: Colin punches Eggman's body and is roboticized by the Doctor's touch-based robotic form. As it was unwilling, Colin becomes a lifeless statue, frozen in place. The characters InUniverse wonder if they can reverse the Overlander roboticisation and restore them to life but before they can do anything, Station Square nukes the city, destroying Colin's body and preventing any possibility of restoring him.
* PredecessorVillain: Colin's stint as an antagonist was more towards the Parents of the Freedom Fighters, having shot out Amadeaus's eye and coordinated the war-effort against the Mobians. When he returns in the present he's far less of an antagonist to Sonic and co.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: With a twist. Robotnik's roboticisation procedure turns Mobians into mindless drones but to Overlanders they become non-sentient statues unless they undergo the process willingly.
!! Old Universe Characters (Pre-Genesis Wave)
Characters from the original universe before issue #252. These characters are permanently erased from the new timeline thanks to the Super Genesis Wave.
!!!The Dark Legion
A group of technology obsessed echidna that split off from society into their own cult. They were banished into an alternate dimension for centuries.
[[folder: In General]]
* EnemyCivilWar: The Dark Legion has had a lot of problems with factionalism. Kragok managed to avoid one such war when he took over and stripped Lien-Da of her political title; and the changing of the guard from Kragok to Dimitri went off without a hitch. Problems arose when Dimitri wanted to bury the hatchet with the other Echidnas and the Dark Legion fractured into numerous groups that fillout all sorts of alignments. Many settled into Echidnopolis, and when it was taken over they sided with Lien-Da. Dr. Finitevus backed Remington as a new Grandmaster and he had his own splinter group (the Frost Legion) following him and challenging Lien-Da (leading the Flame Legion) for authority.
* FacelessGoons: Their hoods obscure their faces save for their eyes; making them easy to dispose of mooks.
* MundaneUtility: Ian Flynn stated that in addition to serving as bio-enhancements and weaponry, Legionares get mechanical implants as a form of self expression and how these Echidnas show their devotion to technology.
* PutOnABus: The Legion were Ken's creation and they were scrubbed from the comic following the reboot.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: They're a renegade faction of the Echidna society dating back to the days of Edmund and Dimitri. Edmund's genealogy spawned the Brotherhood while Dimitri's spawned the legion.
* VillainDecay: Justified as the Dark Egg Legion. While the Legion started out fairly powerful, numerous set backs ensued to the point where most of their members either died or defected after the mass-depowering. By the time the remnant signs on with Eggman they're a fraction of the size with many of their more powerful members dead (Xenin, Kragok), turned turncoat (Julie Su, Dr. Finitevus) or MIA (Moritori Rex) and the powers of Enerjak are long gone. The DEL are just easily defeated mooks prone to comedy rather than the fearsome Dark Legion they started out as.

[[folder: Dimitri]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Dimitri_Issue_-184_3631.jpg]]
Distant ancestor of Knuckles, Lien-Da, and Julie-Su. Spent several centuries as the Chaos-empowered demigod Enerjak.
* AGodAmI: When he became Enerjak, he declared himself a god.
* AntiVillain: He gradually revealed himself as this. Part of it came from him learning from his mistakes after being stripped from his powers, and working towards a peace between Echidnas. Part of it was via retcon showing Dimitri's initial experiment to not be entirely through selfishness as the corrupt council was continually blocking his and Edmund's desire to help people.
* TheAtoner: Has become this following his HeelFaceTurn.
* BigBad: of Knuckles' spin-off series.
* BrainInAJar: Well, head, his body is long since gone with only cybernetics keeping him alive.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Was stripped of his powers by Mogul.
* {{Cyborg}}: One of few Echidnas still with their original Dark Legion cybernetics.
* TheDragon: As Grandmaster of the Dark Egg Legion, he served as this to Eggman.
* DrunkOnTheDarkside: The Chaos Emeralds gave him one hell of a PowerHigh and he grew erratic and careless. When he was depowered he regains his former clarity, lamenting how [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim he never used his incredible power in the most practical of ways]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's frustrated with his descendant Lien-Da's treachery and short-sightedness, he still loves her and continually tries to pull her from danger even if it was brought by her own hubris.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not apparent at first, but gradually Dimitri becomes one of the least evil of the major villains. He continually tries to push for more peaceful solutions only for Mogul, Eggman, and even Lien-Da undermining him with the depravity they can get to. Dimitri also expresses regret with working with the likes of Dr. Finitevus.
* FakeDefector: He reveals to Knuckles that he joined forces with Eggman in order to weaken him from within.
* HeelFaceTurn: He was an {{Antivillain}} to begin with, and was continually subject to EvilerThanThou (first from Mogul and then from his own great-X-granddaughter Lien-Da), so this was probably inevitable.
* MadScientist
* PhysicalGod: As Enerjak.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Was kept perpetually young by his Chaos powers. When they were stolen, however, he aged rapidly, to the point that the only way to save him was to ''surgically remove his head'', and attach it to a life support system in a floating fish bowl. Eggman later enhanced this by equipping him with tentacle like extensions to his dreadlocks, granting him back limbs per se.
* SanitySlippage: The chaos energies flowing through his mind warped it and as Enerjak, Dimitri became far more violent, power-hungry, and cruel. His sanity returns when Mogul de-powers him.
* SealedEvilInACan: He spent several centuries buried under the rubble of his own fortress, and shortly after escaping from there, was launched into space for a while.
* ThatManIsDead: When he attained the powers to become Enerjak, he left his old identity behind.
-->'''Kragok''': "Great Dimitri!!!"
-->'''Enerjak''': "Lord Enerjak will do, Kragok! Dimitri is but a distant memory!"
* UnskilledButStrong: Seemed to be a running theme with him as Enerjak, if not Enerjak incarnations in general. For example, he had more raw power than Mogul when they first met, but Mogul stole his powers with little effort.
* UnwittingPawn: To Finitevus during the events leading up to the "Enerjak Reborn" arc - he thought his power would be returned to him, but Finitevus was just using him to figure out how to turn someone else into Enerjak.
* VillainCred: When he returns from his first defeat he lands right on top of, and destroys, a statue of him that the Dark Legion created. He takes a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the statue, saying he'd like to meet the person who made it.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: By the end of his run, Dimitri's motivations are primarily for the preservation of his people, unlike many of his associates such as Lien-Da who are motivated by power or wrath. However he still resorts to aligning himself with unscrupulous clients, often making him a GuiltRiddenAccomplice for the BigBad of each arc.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Was a pretty okay guy until he became Enerjak, at which point he completely lost it. Fortunately, his sanity was restored when he was {{DePower}}ed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Lien-Da]]
[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lien-Da_3090.png]]
Power mad older sister of Julie-Su and Grandmaster of the Dark Egg Legion. Despises her little sister ([[SiblingRivalry the feeling is very mutual]]).
* AscendedExtra: Initially a very minor henchman that gradually got much more of a role in the series.
* TheBaroness: Sexpot kind. While Dmitri was in charge of the Dark Legion (before it became the Dark Egg Legion), her title was [[ThoseWackyNazis "Kommissar"]], and she can sometimes be seen sporting a [[WhipItGood whip]] to go with that [[PuttingOnTheReich form-fitting black military uniform]].
* BigBadWannabe: Seeks to be Grandmaster of the Dark Legion and conquer the world herself, however she always ends up outplayed by other more competent villains or her own impulses or hubris, leaving her an opportunistic lackey most of the time. Eggman actually revives her for this reason, treating Lien-Da's ineffectual attempts to usurp him like an amusing little game he always beats her at.
* CainAndAbel: She, along with Kragok despised their younger sister and immediately set upon disposing of her (Lein Da in particular lingered over whether just to kill her instead). Interestingly, Lien Da herself was double crossed by Kragok out of power as Grandmaster, leading her to have played both roles of the trope.
* ControlFreak: Actually has nothing against robbing the sentience of her clan to get them to follow her orders.
* {{Cyborg}}: Though not as apparant as most Legionarres. Ian Flynn states that she didn't want to alter her appearence too much and most of her cyborg additions are internal or covered under clothing.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DidntThinkThisThrough: A fatal flaw of her. Lien-Da is never one much for planning and more acting when an opportunity sees itself. But never seems to think what to do past a certain point in action or what her opponents are really capable of (Why yes, Lien-Da attack the one person who can control machines ''when you're half cybernetics''). This bites her in the ass very quickly, at one point even nearly killing her.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In the ''Mobius: 25 Years Later'' timeline altered by King Sonic's time-traveling, she's still as evil as ever, but she seems to genuinely love her son Rutan (in the unaltered timeline, she's actually semi-{{Heel Face Turn}}ed.)
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Her future self is horrified when King Shadow goes to use Tikhaos to destroy everything, also, she isn't willing to get the royal twins involved in battle, being 'innocent' according to her.
* EvilRedhead
* FreudianExcuse: [[TheUnfavorite "Dad liked you more!"]]
* GoryDiscretionShot: In the climax of the ''Iron Dominion Arc'', she had tried to enact a coup against Regina and attacked her. But Regina counted by activating the bomb in her cybernetics. We see an explosion shortly after and the legion quickly shouting to gather up her body before fleeing.
* HeelFaceTurn: She had reformed 25 years later and made peace with Julie-Su. But it was changed when King Sonic went time-hopping and somehow prevented this from happening. Possibly because in the new timeline, Shadow had took over and thus she didn't get over her power hungry tendencies.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Father]]: She disowned her father Luger, to the point of viewing her grandfather Moritori Rex as her father.
* ItsAllAboutMe: To a sociopathic degree.
* LaughablyEvil: Has few restraints and mobilities, has exterminated or screwed over the large majority of her family and people as a stepping stone in her attempts for power. Nevertheless she has the comical [[ManChild demeanor of a spoiled child]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain things never quite seem to go her way]].
* NeverMyFault: Blames her family (particularly her younger sister) for all her grievances in her life. Also tends to blame those around her when plans go wrong (her Great-Great-Grandfather was [[ShutUpHannibal far more willing to point out her own incompetence]], naturally not long after which [[TheStarscream he was due for the chop as well]]).
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite her appearance, she's actually 33 years old. In an alternate timeline, she retains the same look when she's 63 years old.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot, and was put on a bus shortly before it.
* PsychopathicManchild
* SelfMadeOrphan: Murdered both her father and her stepmother, the former to [[KlingonPromotion become Grandmaster of the Legion]].
* ShockAndAwe: After Eggman rebuilds her.
* SiblingYinYang: With Julie-Su.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Tended to suffer a few comical thrashing from the heroes, especially in Flynn's era.
* SmugSnake: Is not in much control of a situation as she thinks, as evidenced when she tries to make a bid for power during the final battle with the Iron Queen.
* TheStarscream: Disposed of her Father and later her Great-Great-Grandfather to gain the role of Grandmaster and tried to overthrow the Iron Queen. This didn't work out too well however.
** Is currently one to Eggman. He in fact saved her from dying because he's amused by having his underlings trying to kill him as part of his "game."
* TookALevelInBadass: After spending her entire existence as a non-action villain, she recently turned into a fighter that can pose a danger to Sonic thanks to the cybernetics she gained from Eggman.
* WhyAmITicking: As with most Eggman minions, she was implanted with a bomb in her body via her cybernetics. Working under the Iron Queen somewhat diminished the threat since Regina wasn't as trigger happy as Eggman long as they didn't cross her. But Lien-Da attempted to overthrow her near the end of the arc and...well Regina did just that, activated her explosives and nearly killed her. It was only thanks to Eggman that she managed to survive.
* WomanChild: Can be quite the spoiled brat when things don't go her way. She's not above teasing Snively either.
-->Aw, is little Snivy-kins not getting the attention he needs?
* WitchWithACapitalB: Julie-Su certainly considered her such, and with valid reason.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Kragok]]
Lien-da's brother, Julie-Su's half-brother and descendant of Dimitri.
* BackForTheDead: He and Tobor are lost into a portal locked in combat. Many issues later Dimitri accidently reopens the portal and the pair tumble out, fatally crashing into the Legion's airship.
* CainAndAbel: As united he and Lien-Da were in their vendetta against their family (especially their youngest sister, Julie-Su), ultimately Kragok had no qualms brutally double crossing even her for that extra role of power either.
* {{Cyborg}}: As par the course for Legionnaires.
* DemotedToDragon: The de-facto leader of the Legion in his first outing, Kragok willingly gives up control to Dimitri after he returns from space.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Father]]: He disowned his father Luger, to the point of viewing his grandfather Moritori Rex as his father.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hated his family so much that he conspired to get his father, Luger, killed, injured Lien-Da enough to keep the full power of Grandmaster to himself, and erased Julie-Su's memory of her family and tossed her at a couple and told her to treat her as if she were an orphan before taking ''them'' away from her.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Murdered both his father and his stepmother, the former to [[KlingonPromotion become Grandmaster of the Legion]].
* TheStarscream: Was this to Lien-Da - he had agreed to share power as the Grandmaster after they did away with their father, only for him to take the entire thing. Though when Dimitri returns, he's nothing but loyal to him.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The guy only shows up for three storylines before disappearing at the end of the third, only to show up once more ''to die''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Moritori Rex]]
Moritori is a former Grandmaster of the Dark Legion, son of the Dark Legion's founder Menniker and grandson of the infamous Dimitri . He became a spy when he was mistaken for the Guardian Tobor and brought to the Brotherhood of Guardians's secret base Haven.
* CombatPragmatist: Moritori will use any means at his disposal to win in a fight.
* {{Cyborg}}: He possesses cybernetic implants, most notably his eyes, which were originally equipped to allow him to spy on the Prime Zone while still trapped in the Twilight Cage and he is one of few Echidnas with their original Dark Legion cybernetics.
* DisappointedInYou: It's not that apparant in comic, but Ian Flynn stated he wrote Rex with this opinion in regards to his son Luger; Rex was ultimately dissatisfied with how little Luger accomplished.
-->" I don't think Rex outright hated his son; I think there was still a small, "human" part of him that felt at least a responsibility to acknowledge him. But I don't think he lingered on the news of his death. While Rex was busy scheming in the Primeverse, Luger achieved very little in terms of returning to Angel Island. I see Rex as being disappointed with Luger's apparent lack of drive or viciousness, which is why he turned his attention to the next generation."
* TheMole: Posed as the guardian Tobor.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Before Dimitri came back, Moritori Rex was one of the oldest Legionnaires outliving his son Luger and even his grandson Kragok.
* PutOnABus: Was cast into the Twilight Cage along with the Brotherhood of Guardians (bar Knuckles and Locke) by Dr. Finitevus; not returning due to legal matters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Xenin]]
One of the Dark Legion's strongest soldiers. Xenin acts as an enforcer whenever Dimitri or Kragok have something planned.
* TheBrute: In contrast to the other named Dark Legionarres in authority, Xenin is a field agent largely there to provide the muscle for his superiors. He's quite strong to, dispatching both General Stryker and Knuckles.
* FantasticRacism: He dislikes Dingoes quite a bit.
* KilledOffForReal: He was a victim of the Egg Grapes.
* MauveShirt: In contrast to the nameless and faceless Dark Legion mooks, Xenin was given a distinctive design and more of a personality. He was also given a fairly concrete fate in contrast to most of his allies who were left hanging.
* MookLieutenant: He leads a dispatch of Legionarres during operations.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Menniker]]
The Founder and first Grandmaster of the Dark Legion.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died in a battle with the Guardian Aaron.
* PredecessorVillain: The first Grandmaster, his descendants serve as some of Knuckles' major enemies.
* VillainousLegacy: Long after Menniker's death, the Dark Legion is still causing trouble.
[[/folder]]
!!!The Destructix and Moebius
A mercenary group made up of criminals. While they hardly get involved in problems of their world they nevertheless cause all manner of trouble for the Freedom Fighters.
[[folder: The Destructix as a whole]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/destructix_7139.jpg]]
* HiredGuns: They've had a number of bosses over the series and hardly ever work for themselves. The only time they did was to bust out Scourge.
* MookCarryover: The Fearsome Foursome debuted as Mammoth Mogul's minions. After his imprisonment they reformed under Snively for a time. After leaving his employ with Sleuth they formed the Destructix and went back to serving Mogul before leaving his service and working under Scourge.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: {{Downplayed}}. When Angel Island devolves into civil war, the Destrutix are seen as the most heroic faction as Finitevus has them defend the non-combatents from the Dingos and warring Dark Legion as a way to make himself seem trustworthy to Locke. While the Echidnas think highly of them, it never really changes their position in the world as they're still seen as dangerous and untrustworthy mercenaries and news of their good deeds didn't go beyond Angel Island.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Scourge the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Scourge_2553.png]]
Formerly known as the Anti-Sonic, Sonic's EvilTwin from an AlternateUniverse where the [[ThePsychoRangers Freedom Fighters are evil]]. For quite a long time, he was simply a petty self-obsessed recurring nuisance who would spawn many a ClearMyName plot and occasionally team up with a more legitimately threatening villain... until exposure to the Master Emerald turned him green and evoked a major [[TookALevelInBadass attitude adjustment]], leading him to reinvent himself as "Scourge", a more truly ''psychotic'' version of the main character who ascended into a position of formidable antagonist in his own right. He's become a flagship Archie-original character, the first to get his own 4-issue ''Sonic Universe'' arc.
* AbortedArc: The last we see of him is that he and his gang had broken out of jail and wound up back his dimension. Fiona mentions they had to do something for Dr Finitevus which Scourge was needed for. But he stated he had his own plans in mind. However, due to the CosmicRetcon, we'll never get to see either of these come to fruition.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He took over Moebius/Anti-Mobius by simply beating up various warlords across the planet, and the Anti-Freedom Fighters/Suppression Squad follow his lead largely because he ''beat'' them into submission.
* BadBoss: He assumed control of the Anti-Freedom Fighters/Suppression Squad by brutally beating them all into submission and they really only continue to follow his lead out of fear. [[MachiavelliWasWrong Ergo, they hold no true loyalty for him and they gladly and readily betray him when the opportunity comes up]].
** To emphasize this, it's implied that Scourge may have ''gouged out Patch's eye'', just to make him look different to the Antoine of Mobius.
* BigBad: Finally earned this status during the "Bold New Moebius" arc.
* BigBadWannabe:
** As Anti-Sonic, he was this for a ''long'' time, as he liked to talk tough, but was ultimately nothing more than a ButtMonkey who was constantly pushed around by the other villains and got beat up easily by the heroes, to the extent a pre-CharacterDevelopment [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys Antoine]] once knocked him out cold. ''by accident''. Then, a dose of Chaos energy directly from the Master Emerald transformed him into Scourge, granting him several dozen levels of badass and making him one of the series' most powerful villains. He's still not on the level of Dr. Eggman or Finitevus, but he's definitely a credible solo threat these days; he's even managed to conquer all of Moebius by himself.
** Even then, however, as pointed out by Sonic, Jules and even Fiona, Scourge's conquest of Moebius wasn't really impressive since, unlike Mobius, his world isn't full of powerful villains and monsters. All he did was beat up various warlords across the planet and [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority believed that made him king]]. When he came to Mobius, nobody but the Freedom Fighters considered him a threat and he was nearly defeated by Metal Sonic and Metal Scourge, latter of whom was literally put together by Eggman at the last minute.
* BreakTheHaughty: After being arrested by the Zone Cops and locked in Zone Jail, Scourge suffers this ''big time''. Left defenseless by a PowerNullifier collar, he's left at the bottom of the pecking order at the prison and subjected to constant beatings and abuse that leave him a bitter, scared, paranoid shadow of his former self. When Fiona allows herself to be arrested to save him, she's shocked at how far Scourge has fallen.
* TheBully: At his core, Scourge is nothing more than a superpowered bully who enjoys flaunting his power and superiority over others. He runs the Suppression Squad through fear and loves talking a big game, but when a fight proves to be harder than expected or faced with someone who isn't intimidated by him, he tends to back down immediately. Sonic outright sums him up as one in issue 196 after defeating him.
-->'''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.
* ButtMonkey: Prior to becoming Scourge, this was all he ''ever'' was.
* TheCasanova: Has been involved with Anti-Bunnie, Anti-Sally, Anti-Penelope, ''and'' Fiona.
** Also, whilst impersonating Sonic for a time, he hit on, amongst others, the Mobius Prime versions of Bunnie, Amy, and Rouge. There's even a subtle indication in issue #150 that he and Bunnie-Prime actually slept together, due to his taking advantage of her hurt and confusion over Antoine being stealthily replaced by Patch. It's pretty disgusting when you realize that Scourge is only 15 years old.
* CloningBlues: More an evil AlternateSelf than Sonic's actual clone, but the basic principle is the same. In issue 172, Scourge taunts Sonic, boasting that the reason Sonic hates him so much is because he knows they're NotSoDifferent and all it would take is "one bad day" to make Sonic into him. Sonic turns it around by pointing out that all it would take is just a little kindness and selflessness to make Scourge just like ''him''; these words shock Scourge to his core, and lead him to embark on a quest to make himself more than just Sonic's EvilTwin, and Anti-Mobius more than just a MirrorUniverse.
* CoolShades: It's one of the few things, aside from his leather jacket, that he's retained since his days as Anti-Sonic. Although the 90s version had a different outfit.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He conquered his entire world, single-handedly, in ''under a week''. He gave an alliance of Sonic, Amy Rose, his own reality's insane version of Amy, and several other powerful fighters a serious fight even ''before'' he turned into his Super Scourge form.
* DirtyCoward: He was accused of being this, and quickly proved to be this, by Jules-Prime in issue #192. The robian confronted Scourge when the latter tried to sneak into his house at night to attack Sonic and scared him off by simply refusing to back down to his threats, instead matter-of-factually stating that he had fought on the frontlines in the Great War of Mobius Prime, that he would not simply lay down, and that if he did die, Sonic would be truly livid.
* EvilFeelsGood: Inverted. his Super Scourge form lasts forever and is even stronger than Super Sonic, but makes him feel awful, in contrast to how Sonic feels great when becoming Super Sonic.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Though most of the Moebius ladies hate him for his cheating, he does seem to genuinely love Fiona.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** When Scourge goes in with a half baked plan to hurt Sonic by attacking his father, Jules gives Scourge a stern dressing down. Jules's accusation that Scourge, having lost his own father, would inflict that onto Sonic seems to actually affect Scourge on an emotional level. Though he blows Jules off, Scourge is crying as he leaves.
** Is horrified by how AxCrazy Flying Frog reveals himself to be when the latter tells Scourge his backstory.
* EvilTwin: He's Sonic from a MirrorUniverse. Though he's trying to make himself more than that (maybe).
* ForTheEvulz: He has no clear motive for his evil beyond being drunk on his own strength and making Prime!Sonic's life utter hell, though this ranges anywhere from picking scraps with him to trying to destroy his respective universe.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Two jagged-looking scars on his chest (injuries from a fight with Knuckles's father, Locke) are the easiest way to tell him from his counterpart. Well, besides the fact he's green, anyway.
* HellBentForLeather: Part of his "evil opposite" look. He's sported this look since he was simply Anti-Sonic, and it's one of the only things he retains after transforming into Scourge.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In his last battle with Sonic, he taps into Anarchy Beryls, his universe equivalent to Chaos Emeralds, and goes super. He proves too powerful, even with both the Freedom Fighters, Suppression Squad, Rob O'the Hedge, and Silver working together, forcing Sonic to briefly retreat. However Sonic realizes something about his power and coax Scourge into depowering by appealing to his ego to beat him in a normal state. Scourge falls for it and finds himself too weak to move. Sonic then explains: Chaos Emeralds in his world give him a little boost when he comes out of it. But since this is an alternate/opposite world, Anarchy Beryls saps Scourge of his energy when he comes out of his super state, kind of like when Shadow takes off his rings. And since this was apparently the first time Scourge used them, he was completely ignorant of this fact. The dope ends up knocking himself out with Sonic not even having to touch him.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Fear and Power. Scourge controls the Suppression Squad and Destructix by beating them into submission and making them terrified of him. In fact, this is how he controls most people he works with, as Jules-Prime notes. When confronted by someone who won't back down to his threats or let themselves be cowed by him, Scourge [[DirtyCoward folds like a lawn chair]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Contrary to Sonic, who can sometimes be a jerk but is really nice deep down, Scourge seems to be nothing but pure egotism, spite, and cruelty.
* MultiversalConqueror: After conquering Moebius, he invades Mobius Prime with the intent to conquer it as well.
* NotSoDifferent:
** He's Sonic but with his negative qualities punctuated ten fold. Sonic himself in fact defeats his super form just by playing to the same vices he has; namely by playing to his ego and impulsiveness.
** He loves making speeches to Sonic about their similarities noting that "One Bad Day" (a la the Joker) would turn Sonic into him. Sonic, by contrast, turns it on him saying that a bit of selflessness and decency would turn Scourge into him. While the latter words horrify Scourge and motivate him to make a truly despicable power play, the former end up ringing through Sonic's head as [[TookALevelInCynic he starts to reach breaking point]] from several losses during the Mecha Sally arc, causing him to gain a HeroicSecondWind. Essentially both [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally prevented]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain their own theories]] becoming true, simply because it ensured [[ShutUpHannibal the other would be adamant]] [[ShutUpKirk to prove them wrong]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As Anti-Sonic, he was nothing but a common hoodlum who was knocked out by pre-CharacterDevelopment [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys Antoine]] of all people, ''by accident''. His transformation into Scourge gave him a chance to finally prove to Sonic and the other heroes just how dangerous he really is.
* OmnicidalManiac: In issue #196, Super Scourge declares that, due to Sonic's resistance, he's decided to give up his plans to rule Moebius ''or'' Mobius. Instead, he plans on spin-dashing both planets in half, just because he ''can'', before going on to find other worlds to devastate, swearing to stomp them all until he finally finds one that gives him the respect he feels he deserves.
* OutsideContextProblem: Discussed in issue 197. Zonic mentions that Scourge's Master Emerald mutation has made him a WildCard in the cosmic scheme of things, hence why the Zone Cops didn't arrest him for repeatedly overstepping his Zone boundaries and attacking Mobius Prime until Sonic brought him to them.
* PaletteSwap: Justified, given that he is a mirror-universe Sonic. Initially averted, as Anti-Sonic was blue, but turning green was part of his motivation to try and be more than just "Sonic's stupid punk counterpart".
* PaperTiger: He talks big but he often he backs down as soon someone stands up to him or a fight turns out to be harder than he anticipated.
* ParentalNeglect: From what we've seen, his father was too busy to pay attention to him. Before fleeing at the end of issue #192, an angry, weeping Scourge dismissively spits that Jules-Prime's no different to his Moebius counterpart.
-->'''Scourge:''' Just a bunch of empty words. You're no different from my old man after all.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His Super Scourge form has purple fur, along with BlackEyesOfCrazy mixed with RedEyesTakeWarning.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot, [[Main/DisneyOwnsThisTrope as well as all evil Sonics in general]].
* ReallyGetsAround: On top of being involved with Anti-Bunnie, Anti-Sally, Anti-Penelope, and Fiona, he briefly impersonated Sonic on Mobius just to flirt with the Prime versions of nearly every girl in Sonic's life.
* SelfMadeOrphan: It's heavily implied that he killed his neglectful father Anti-Jules. As he said to Jules, "[[UnwillingRoboticisation Sonic's dad isn't a Mobian anymore.]] [[SelfMadeOrphan My dad simply isn't.]]" We have no clue what happened to his mother, but she's likely dead or roboticized.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Before becoming Scourge, Evil-Sonic had blue fur just like Sonic. After exposure to the Master Emerald, his fur turned [[GreenAndMean green]] and he gained a boost in strength and stamina. He also had a super state of his own, which turns his fur [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
* ShadowArchetype: He's Sonic with all of his negative qualities ramped up, and very few, if any, of his positive ones.
* ShoutOut: In Issue 172, he claims that the only thing it would take to make Sonic like him is "[[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke one bad day]]."
* SmugSnake: Scourge is cocky and arrogant, and loves to talk a big game, but is mostly, if not entirely, dependent on fear to keep people in line, and when a fight turns out to be harder than anticipated or when someone actually stands up to him, he tends to fold and run. He takes great delight in boasting about how he conquered Moebius, but even Fiona points out it's not very impressive since unlike Mobius Prime, his world isn't full of powerful villains and monsters, and his takeover amounted to simply beating up various warlords. Best shown in issue 191, where he's utterly curb-stomped in a straight fight by Metal Sonic.
* SuperMode: The craziest looking one in the series.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Upon realizing that [[AxCrazy Rosy]] was right there waiting for him when he was forced back to Moebius, his reaction is a plaintive "Oh, please no..."
** Yelling at Fiona "I almost got sent back home! You do NOT want to be sent back with ME!".
* TookALevelInBadass: Before becoming Scourge: a petty wannabe punk who was just a two-bit player in the grand scheme of things. After becoming Scourge: a world-conquering psychopath who beat up both Sonic and all his allies and almost destroyed No Zone.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Fiona. He's stated that he prefers her to the girls in Moebius because rather than being evil by default, she ''chose'' to be evil. And apparently Scourge finds that hot.
* VillainProtagonist: Of the "Jail Break" arc in ''Sonic Universe''.
* VillainousBreakdown: When the Suppression Squad betrayed him, he decided to go [[SuperMode Super]] and "spindash ''both'' worlds in half" for the Hell of it. This leads into...

[[folder:Fiona Fox]]
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fiona_6728.png]]
[[caption-width-right:247:[[labelnote:Click here to see her after turning evil]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fiona_foxjpg.jpg]][[/labelnote]]
Former Freedom Fighter gone bad. Tails' one-time crush and Sonic's one-time girlfriend.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Prefers Scourge to Sonic.
* ArchEnemy: To both Tails and Sally.
* ConsummateLiar: Turns out she had been lying to just about everyone for a while.
* DarkActionGirl: Tough enough to be a match for many of the non-superpowered characters, and clever and resourceful enough to frequently get the drop on those stronger than her as well.
* EvilRedhead: Her fur is red too.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: With her FaceHeelTurn, she switches from her white and orange jumpsuit and boots, to an all-black ensemble including a tanktop, pants, boots and long FingerlessGloves.
* FaceHeelTurn: She was genuinely on the Freedom Fighters' side before her attraction to Scourge led her astray.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Particularly pronounced when she first defects to Scourge and Tails is tearfully begging her not to go. Fiona kneels down to him, gently tells him that for all of his smarts, he hasn't realized the most fundamental thing in life is that "you can't count on anybody"... before backhanding him with enough force to knock him off his feet, all with a gigantic smirk on her face.
* FemmeFatale: Prior to her turn to the dark side and full-blown [[TheVamp Vamp]] status.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Fiona appeared for the first time way back in issue #29, where Tails first falls for her... only to break his heart by revealing she's evil and betraying him to Robotnik. Now, that was just the "Auto-Fiona"[[note]]a robotic clone[[/note]] but... come issue #172, and the ''real'' Fiona now breaks Tails' heart by betraying him and revealing she's evil.
* FreudianExcuse: Abandonment issues. Basically, she used to be on the Freedom Fighters' side years ago, but her cell was captured and she was never rescued -- instead, she luckily managed to dig herself out of the prison she was abandoned inside of after two years rather than starving to death like Robotnik planned. She's never forgiven either her family for disappearing nor the Freedom Fighters for failing to save her.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She tells Tails that he can't count on or trust anyone when she betrays the Freedom Fighters in 172. Later when she returns with the Suppression Squad who later betrays Scourge, but she stays loyal to him, something which Sonic calls her out on after she goes off and state how she won't trust or count on anyone. Sonic's words cause her to break into tears and deny the whole thing, which obviously he does not buy. Even after Scourge goes to jail, she gets the Destructix and breaks him out, almost saying that she loves him. It's made pretty clear that Fiona can't follow her own advice.
* JackOfAllTrades: As stated in ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'', Fiona is well-rounded in many skills:
** Trained Field Medic
** Field Combatant
** Seasoned Thief and Treasure Hunter
** Smart enough to briefly work with Brain Trust
* KickTheDog: Does it frequently, but the nastiest instance of it by ''far'' is telling Tails, who had a crush on her, that he can't trust anyone and then [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping him]], all with a gleeful smirk on her face.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Fiona is on the receiving end of this from Sally (specifically, she gets punched in the stomach) for trying to manipulate Tails' feelings again. Sonic, Monkey Khan, and even Tails himself all agree Fiona more than deserved it and cheer her on:
-->'''Sonic''': Actually, I thought it was kind of hot!\\
'''Monkey Khan''': Totally in agreement there!\\
'''Tails''': Yeah! Next time you should hit her again!
* ManipulativeBitch: Was seeing Scourge while dating Sonic, and lying about it the whole time.
* NeverMyFault: She does acknowledge her actions sometimes, but under stress, she's more than willing to shift the blame.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheRealRemingtonSteele: The real-life version of the fox robot Tails met so long ago during his solo adventure.
* SmugSnake: After her FaceHeelTurn.
* SympathyForTheDevil: When she starts crying and denying that she trusts and depends on Scourge, Sonic just leaves her while muttering "keep telling yourself that," with a pitying look on his face.
** She tries to deliberately invoke it while Sonic, Sally, Tails, and Ken were on their diplomatic mission in hopes of swaying Tails to help her. However, Sally is there this time and [[ShutUpHannibal responds with a punch to the gut]]. Very cathartic if you've read her betrayal to Tails beforehand.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Fiona is the villainous girly girl to Sally Acorn's heroic tomboy. Sally is a TomboyPrincess who has a very unfeminine appearance, and is a character especially divergent from stereotypes associated with females. Fiona does have a pretty rough attitude and her appearance isn't completely girly, but the bow and skirt still make it more so than Sally's. Also, Fiona is a FemmeFatale and TheVamp who uses her feminine charms to manipulate male characters like Tails, much to the annoyance and disgust of Sally, who once gave Fiona a violent gut punch for doing this. Interestingly, Fiona often mocks Sally for her princess status, calling her a "sugar queen", despite Sally being more tomboyish than her.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Scourge. And if there was any doubt as to whether she actually loved him, she goes through the trouble of reorganizing the Destructix as her personal goon squad and letting herself be arrested by the Zone Cops, all in order to break him out of jail.
* TheVamp: To Tails. She knows Tails likes her, and she has tried to exploit it.
* WouldHurtAChild: Both emotionally and physically. She not only breaks Tails' heart right to his face, she has the nerve to give him a brutal and unprovoked slap just to rub salt in the wound. And going from the smile on her face, she enjoyed every moment of it. And even afterward, she has the gall to still exploit his feelings towards her.

[[folder: Sleuth "Dawgy" Dawg]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-sleuth_217.jpg]]
Traitor to the Freedom Fighters and one of the founders of the Destrutix.
* BadassNormal: No powers or machinery, dude only fought with a blaster and his wits.
* KarmaHoudini: He betrays the Freedom Fighters, joins the Destructix, and then... he decides to just pull out of the whole crime thing. He eventually decides to retire and vanishes off the face of the planet with a presumed happy ending.
* KickTheDog: When he defects to Robotnik he has his partner, Fly Fly Freddy, forcibly roboticized and sent after the Freedom Fighters. The fight ends up killing Freddy.
* TheLeader: Was one to the group before his retirement.
* MauveShirt: Originally he was just a recurring minor Freedom Fighter and less prominent than Hamlin and his group. His importance increased considerably with his treachery.
* TheMole: His original role.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He bounces in and out of this characterization but it sticks later on. When he and the Destructix are fighting Sonic so they can destroy the weapon to kill the brainwashed Knuckles, Sonic does the job for them (Sonic of course not wanting to kill his friend). With that out of the way Sleuth says they're not being paid to stick around any more and the team pulls out.
* PunnyName: He's named after the rapper Snoop "Doggy" Dogg.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. This cost him an appearance on the cover of issue 258.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: In ''Sonic Universe #15'', it is revealed that he not only stepped down as the leader of the Destrutix, but outright retired from the whole crime thing altogether stating he had saved up enough to provide for himself, handing leadership of the Destructix to Fiona.
* TakingYouWithMe: They attempt to make a deal with Eggman and he, naturally, betrays them and roboticizes the group. Sleuth is the last to go and manages to toss a grenade declaring that if he's gonna go he's not going alone. The whole place blows up, but everyone caught in the explosion returns in some form or another.

[[folder: Sergeant Simian]]
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sergeant_simian_3838.jpg]]
* AlliterativeName: Both in terms of his villainous moniker and his real name, Simon Simian.
* ArcWelding: The Guerilla Gorillas showed up a couple years before he did, but seemed to be a perfect fit for his backstory.
* BadassBandolier
* TheBigGuy
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys
* EvilCounterpart: To Mighty, among the Chaotix.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Serves someone if they can prove themselves strong. The fact he doesn't care about that person's morals, only their strength, is what turned him from a WellIntentionedExtremist into what he is today.
* NobleDemon: He works for the bad guys, but he does have his own code of honor however and the most disciplined of the crew.
* [[ThePowerOfFriendship The Power Of Teamwork]]: A rare villainous example. He believes in the benefits of strong teammates.
* {{Pun}}: He's a Guerilla Gorilla. Get it?
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SuperStrength
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Simian started out wanting to protect his home from Robotnik's forces. Since falling in with Mogul and the others, things have changed.

[[folder: Predator Hawk]]
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/predator_hawk_8867.jpg]]
* TheAce: In his backstory.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In the Armada, he excelled at everything he did, only for the best opportunities to go to the Battle Lord's son. Later, when part of the Rogues, he continued to feel this way towards the group's leader, Jet. Eventually, he had enough, defected and set out on his own.
* [[AnimeHair Anime Feathers]]
* ArcWelding: Revealed to have been part of the Battle Bird Armada and connected to the Babylon Rogues years after his introduction.
* BloodKnight: Part of why he didn't quite fit in with the Armada or the Rogues is because they didn't give him enough opportunity to satisfy his desire for challenging "prey."
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Again, quit both the Armada and the Rogues due to not being rewarded based on ability.
* EvilCounterpart: To Charmy, in his first appearance.
* FemmeFatalons: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]]
* FeatheredFiend
* OddNameOut: He was part of the original "Fearsome Foursome" group and was the only one whose name was not [[AlliterativeName alliterative]].
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.

[[folder: Lightning Lynx]]
[[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lightning_lynx_8650.jpg]]
* AlliterativeName: As with almost all of the original "Fearsome Foursome", his first and last names both start with the same letter.
* CatsAreMean: He's a cat and an unabashed villainous character.
* EvilCounterpart: To Espio in his first appearance, and later during the Iron Dominion arc.
* TheExile: From the Raiju clan. ''Twice.''
* FragileSpeedster: As his name of "Lightning" suggests, he can move with incredible speed and agility. However, he can't take a hit worth mentioning.
* GratuitousNinja: Revealed to be one during the introduction of the Iron Dominion.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In love with Conquering Storm. As a result, [[RevengeTropes he doesn't take her exiling him from the Raiju Clan]] ''[[RevengeTropes again]]'' [[RevengeTropes very well.]]

* AxeCrazy: This guy ''enjoys'' scaring and hurting people more than anything.
* AlliterativeName ''F''lying ''F''rog; really, what more is there to say? This was actually a common theme for his original team, "The Fearsome Foursome".
* EvilCounterpart: To Vector, in his first appearance at least. He's a big water-dwelling non-mammalian Mobian.
* FragileSpeedster: He can move extremely fast, even gliding around, but he goes down in one or two good hits.
* GogglesDoNothing: Averted. They're flight goggles.
* MonsterClown: His backstory was that he was originally a clown, but he took more pleasure in scaring people than in entertaining them.
* NotQuiteFlight: Glides around on the flaps of skin connected to his arms and legs.
* OverlyLongTongue: Like any comicbook frog, his tongue is absurdly long, and he likes showing it off.
* PsychoForHire: More so than the other members of the Destructix, due to his... ''quirks.''
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SlasherSmile: He's rarely seen without one.
* TalkativeLoon: So much that it even freaks out Scourge.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Suppression Squad]]
Scourge's old gang, composed entirely of evil versions of the Freedom Fighters. At the present, they are led by Miles, Tails' alternate counterpart. They are Alicia (Sally's Counterpart and ironically Miles main assistant), Patch (Antoine's counterpart), and Boomer (Rotor's Counterpart). Buns (Bunnie's Counterpart) was part of the the group initially but left them after the group left her for dead during a previous outing and she was saved by Dr. Kinbotor (Eggman's counterpart).
* AppealToFear: How Scourge used to keep them in line.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Scourge enforced this amongst the group by making them all try and differ themselves from their prime counterparts. It also happened in story as well as the Suppression Squad was for the most part Scourge's [[SatelliteCharacter posse]] who didn't do all that much beyond helping him pull jobs. Much later in the story the group's personalities became more distinct: Patch had his own story about replacing Antoine, Buns pulled a HeelFaceTurn and works against them, and Miles receives a lot of character focus when the group upgrades themselves.
* DisabilitySuperPower: Buns Rabbot, whose disease forces her to live inside of the Omega Care Unit. Fortunately for her, said device doubles as PoweredArmor...
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They make a truce with the Freedom Fighters to stop Scourge, only to exile both him and Sonic to Moebius. In spite of the betrayal, the Squad did it with the knowledge that they could rescue Sonic fairly easily and felt that isolating Scourge alone with Sonic would result in Sonic's victory.
* EvilTwin: Duh.
* ForWantOfANail:
** They have no NICOLE counterpart and their Dr. Kintobor was never killed and replaced with an Anti-Eggman. This means that nanites and New Mobotropolis does not exist on Moebius.
** Buns was never roboticized and she ended up developing a deadly condition at the base of her spine.
** Moebius isn't full of powerful villains or strong-willed heroes like the Prime Zone. This means that while the Suppression Squad had an easy time taking over their planet, they weren't prepared for all the dangers of Mobius and their attempt at conquest probably would have ended in quick failure if anyone other than the Freedom Fighters had saw them as a threat.
* HeelFaceTurn: Buns pulled one after being rescued and placed inside the Omega Care Unit by Dr. Kintobor.
** Miles seriously considers this after comparing how Sonic fights to Scourge, in a Sonic/Scourge/Metal Sonic/Metal Scourge four-way fight. While he and the rest of the Squad would probably have a better life if they switched sides, their fear of retribution if Scourge does win keeps them in line.
* HellBentForLeather: All of them before their Scourge-enforced makeover.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The entire group, with the exception of Miles, who sets himself apart from Tails by ''refusing'' to be referred to by his nickname.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Patch was originally the most prominent evil counterpart, even more so than Scourge. However, during the "Moebius" storyline, he's put into the background in favor of Scourge and Miles.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheStarscream: Most of the squad to different extents. Patch, Miles, and Elicia all tried to overthrow Scourge at different points.
* UngratefulBastard: The Prime characters agree to help them get rid of Scourge. First chance they get they try to dump both him ''and Sonic'' in their world with no way back. After that problem was solved, they're still plotting on taking revenge against the Prime zone. [[AbortedArc Or at least they would've if the Cosmic Retcon didn't happen.]]
* WhipItGood: Alicia.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Yes, they're the {{Evil Twin}}s of the Freedom Fighters, but their lives on Anti-Mobius were anything but pleasant, and they lack the happy families their counterparts possess. When reflecting on the time he spent on Anti-Mobius after Scourge forcibly swapped him with Patch, Antoine reflects that the Suppression Squad wasn't "so much mean as sad" and he actually [[SympathyForTheDevil pities them]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Miles]]
The Moebius counterpart to Tails. When Scourge went back to remake the team he made Miles give up his nickname as part of his need to differentiate them from the Mobius counterparts. Miles is, above all else, spiteful, egotistical, and resentful. He's become something akin to the lieutenant under Scourge and Fiona, and leads the Suppression Squad in his absence.
----
* DirtyCoward: Miles, whose condescending bravado is a cover up for the fact that he's really a scared little boy.
* DragonAscendant: Miles ascends to team leader after Scourge's defeat, though ultimately this never leads to anything with the reboot.
* EnfanteTerrible: Miles, as if his PsychoticSmirk and his egotistical demeanor weren't big enough hints.
* EvilGenius: As counter to Tails's role as TheSmartGuy. Miles is cunning, ambitious, and an avid scholar in magic.
* EvilSorcerer: According to ''The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia'', as part of Miles' distinguishing himself from Tails, he's chosen to study magic instead of technology. This can be seen in comic when Miles chastises Tails for not following in his magical heritage.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Miles insults Tails for using a "childish" nickname, even though the only reason he stopped using it was that Scourge made him.
* ImportantHaircut: Miles is hinted to both do this and color his hair in order to appear older, in addition to trying to differentiate himself from Tails. Some fans like to joke that it's a toupee.
* InsufferableGenius: Miles.
* ManipulativeBastard Miles graduates to this during the ''Bold New Moebius'' arc.
* PsychoticSmirk: Miles is fond of these, sometimes they make him look intimidating, sometimes they make him look like a child pretending to be intimidating.
* TheStarscream: Originally loyal to Scourge, he eventually convinced the rest of the Suppression Squad to turn on him, and soon after set himself up as their new leader.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Patch]]
The Moebius counterpart to Antoine. He was one of the first to distinguish himself from simply being an EvilKnockoff when Scourge exiled him to Mobius. In Mobius Patch took on Antoine's identity and carefully set about to usurp the throne and place himself in charge.
----
* AscendedExtra: Patch was one of the first of the Moebius group to have an arc and also the first to majorly depart from the role as Scourge's lackey.
* BeardOfEvil: He had a blond goatee but Scourge shaved it off with a spin attack. Minus the Goatee and eye patch, Patch could easily pass as Antoine.
* DirtyCoward: PlayedWith. Patch is, on the surface, much braver than Antoine; he's always ready to get his hands dirty, he can fight quite well, and he's always upfront about his hatred of Scourge. Though scratch the surface, and Antoine is much more willing to keep fighting when things go south while Patch is more likely to cut and run.
* EyepatchOfPower: Patch wears one, hence the name, and has done since he was just "Anti-Antoine". Though initially the eyepatch was cosmetic, Scourge decided to make it necessary.
* EyeScream: Implied. When Sonic and the gang come to Moebotropolis to try and stop Scourge, a very nervous Patch notes that his eyepatch ''used'' to be just for show. The obvious implication here is that Scourge ''gouged it out'' just to make Patch more distinctive from his Prime self.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Especially noticeable when posing as Antoine. Patch puts on the facade of a gentleman and knight but there are an underlying venom and condescension to his pleasantries.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a very prominent scar down the left side of his face. In issue 156, Sonic even points out that it's one of the major clues that he's not the real Antoine; aside from the fact that the prime Antoine was never much of a fighter and lacked a killer instinct, no one, not even Bunnie, knew where or how he got it.
* KarmaHoudini: Patch impersonated Antoine for over a year, tried to trick Sally into marrying him in order to gain the throne, murdered Antoine's father and poisoned King Max, resulting in him becoming crippled and senile. However, despite causing more harm to the Prime Zone than Scourge ever did, he is neither arrested by the Zone Cops or imprisoned by the Kingdom of Acorn. Sonic simply dumped him back on Moebius after his cover was blown.
* KickTheDog: While impersonating Antoine, Patch goes above and beyond to destroy his life, destroying many of his possessions, ransacking his house, breaking Bunnie's heart, and poisoning his father to death. The next time they meet, Patch goes the extra mile by rubbing in Antoine's face how he killed Armand.
* ManipulativeBastard: In addition to impersonating the real Antoine, he tried to take over the Kingdom of Acorn by marrying Sally and poisoning King Max. He was thwarted but he ended up causing the death of Antoine's father.
* MasterPoisoner: He poisoned both King Max and Antoine's father using a toxin native to his own dimension, with doctors on Mobius being unable to pinpoint the cause of their deteriorating health until after Patch was exposed. By the time they do, the damage is done; Max is left wheelchair-bound once again, and Armand, who was given much heavier doses thanks to Patch [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink lacing his food with it]], ends up dying in the hospital.
* NearVillainVictory: He successfully impersonated his prime counterpart for an entire year, and came close to taking over the Kingdom of Acorn by poisoning King Max and marrying Sally. He ''only'' fails at the end because Elias [[SpannerInTheWorks decided to take the throne in place of his father]], and Patch's subsequent attempt to kill Elias leads to him being found out and Sonic booting him back to Moebius.
* NothingUpMySleeve: When Elias takes the throne, Patch attempts to poison him with a hypodermic needle hidden up his sleeve, offering him a handshake. However, before he can do so, Sonic sees the glint of the syringe in the light and puts a stop to it very quickly.
* OpportunisticBastard: Anti-Sonic got sick of Patch's repeated [[TheStarscream Starscream]] tendencies and banished him to Mobius Prime. Once there, Patch decided to use the situation to his advantage to seize power and take over the Kingdom of Acorn.
* OutOfFocus: Patch was at one point, the most prominent of the Moebius residents. However with Anti-Sonic's ascension into Scourge and the Suppression Squad coming back, Patch went back to being a standard lackey with Miles and Scourge taking focus.
* TheStarscream: Patch would always try and kill Anti-Sonic and take power for himself to the point where it had just become a regular topic of conversation amongst the Suppression-Squad. Scourge got tired of it and kicked him to Mobius, which ended up backfiring and giving Patch a better life. Even Scourge was jealous of how good Patch had it there.

[[folder: Boomer]]
The Moebius counterpart to Rotor. Boomer is the team's tech expert, at one point helping Sonic get back to Mobius Prime when Scourge, then Anti-Sonic, stranged him on Moebius. When Scourge came back and revamped the team, Boomer happily took to replacing his body parts with machinery.
----
* {{Cyborg}}: He integrated himself with some permanent PowerArmor.
* EvilCounterpart: While he's the Anti-Rotor, Boomer, post upgrade, is an evil mirror of Bunnie especially as Bunnie's Moebius counterpart defected. When fighting Bunnie is suprised that Boomer would willingly alter his body for power especially as her own roboticization was unwilling.
* EvilGenius: Whips up inventions and all manner of sinister gismos for the team to use.
* SatelliteCharacter: While Boomer has done a few things on his own, notably sending Sonic home when Scourge tossed him to Moebius, he's easily the least developed compared to the other Suppression Squad members and mostly exists as a tag along. In some ways this is a similarity he has with Rotor as Rotor found himself struggling to stay relevent in the changing times.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Rosy the Rascal]]
The Moebius counterpart to Amy. She wished on a magic ring to be older for Scourge, and the ring made her crazy in exchange for granting her wish.
* AxeCrazy: How much? If it's alive, ''it can be smashed''.
* TheDreaded: Even ''Scourge'' doesn't like tangling with her. It took him having to go super just to get her out of his way.
* DropTheHammer: Just like Amy, she wields a hammer. Unlike Amy, her hammer has ''spikes'' on the end. She even winds up destroying Amy's hammer when she tries to fight her.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Well that and a magic wish that corrupted her mind.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SlasherSmile: Constantly, there barely a moment where it isn't on her face.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Showcasing how her mind has snapped, her Piko-Piko Mallet has its ends shaped into large, conical spikes, making it far more lethal.
* MythologyGag: Wears Amy's initial design from the Sonic CD games. Largely as both a way to distinguish her from Amy and to showcase that while her body has grown, her mind certainly didn't. Also her name comes from a mistranslated subtitle in for Amy in ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''.
* TragicVillain: Rosy just wanted Scourge to notice her and return her feelings. In the process, she wound up turning herself into such a psychotic little monster that even he would ''never'' love her back.
* {{Yandere}}: Rosy loves Scourge so much she wants to bust his head in.
* {{Yangire}}: She wants '''everyone''' to be smashed.

!!!Iron Dominion
[[folder: The Iron Queen (Regina Ferrum)]]
[[quoteright:338:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Iron_Queen3_9327.png]]
A technomage who controlled the Dragon Kingdom with her partner The Iron King. First seen as a more typical sorceress and reappeared later, revamped, to take control of the Eggman Empire after Eggman [[VillainousBreakdown lost his mind]].
* AmbiguouslyHuman: She looked like a human, but was married to the Iron King, an ox. A fan writing in for clarification was told she was actually a badger. However, when she was brought back it turned out The Queen is indeed human (an Overlander to be specific), and the titles "King" and "Queen" are purely honorary (so she's not an animal ''or'' in any sort of [[InterspeciesRomance Interspecies Marriage]]).
* AmplifierArtifact: Used a Power Ring to amplify her staff.
* BigBad: Of the "Iron Dominion" arc (while Eggman was incapacitated by [[spoiler: a VillainousBreakdown]].)
* BlackMagic: Her first appearance had her using actual magic as opposed to Magitek.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Upon her defeat at the hands of Sonic, she shouts out Robotnik's often-repeated statement of: "I ''HATE'' THAT HEDGEHOG!"
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance she used actual magic, spoke more informally, and struggled to take over a small area of the Dragon Kingdom.
* DragonLady: In the final clash.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Initially it seemed she was using Snively for her own ends. But when he actually came looking for her during his defection from Eggman, she actually returns his feelings for her.
* HumiliationConga: She had seemingly taken over New Metropolis, could control it at her whim and had the four houses and the Dark Egg Legion as a grand army with Iron King acting as an enforcer. Victory seemed well assured...then Nicole broke free from her control and strung her along until Sonic returned to which she turned on her. Ken informs the clans their leaders have broken ties with the Iron Dominion to which the clans promptly abandon her. Lien-Da seizes the opportunity to betray her (though that problem Regina does manage to solve by activating Lien-Da’s explosive in her cybernetics and putting her on the brink of death but this forces the Legion to flee as a result), the Iron King is sent flying through the stratosphere by Ken, Snively turns tail and goes crawling back to Eggman leaving her to fend for herself against the Freedom Fighters. She tries one last feeble attack by using the nanites to turn into a dragon. But when it's clear she's outnumbered and outgunned by the heroes, she tries to retreat, only for Sonic to stop her and drop her right in the middle of the Freedom Fighters to which she's quickly arrested. And all of that in one issue. -Whistles-
* {{Magitek}}: She can control the electrical impulses found in all active electronics and send him out at will. As you can imagine, she's quite dangerous to opponents who are partly or completely robotic. And especially to environments controlled by them.
* MeaningfulName: Regina means queen, Ferrum means iron.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Even in print, it manages to be grating.
* PlayingWithFire: In her original appearance she set Mount Stormtop on fire via magic.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- though she is actually a Frank Strom creation.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She wears a red-and-black striped dress.
* {{Retcon}}: Originally she used actual magic; in her reappearance she was stated to use technomagic.
* ShoutOut: To Princess Iron Fan from Journey to the West.
* StartOfDarkness: A backstory fleshes hers out -- she was born into a "[[{{Whatevermancy}} technomancy]]" cult, and trained in Magitek as a child. She never knew she was doing anything illegal until they were all arrested and she was ultimately exiled, with no friends or any place to go, just as the great war was breaking out. She became a villain to claw her way back to power, restore her cult's status, and get revenge.
* {{Technopath}}: She has the ability to control machinery with her magic.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The statuesque Iron Queen dating the four-foot-tall Snively.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Snively. Though it would seem each of them were to an extent using each other to advance their own positions, there's some genuine mutual affection there too.
* VainSorceress
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

[[folder: The Iron King (Jun Kun)]]
[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Iron_king_1_3118.png]]
A super strong, nigh-invulnerable ox Warlord from the Dragon Kingdom, The Iron King is the Iron Queen's partner in crime and the co-ruler of the Iron Dominion. Born with the name Jun Kun, he was initially a petty warlord with aims of conquering the Dragon Kingdom, and allowed the technomage Regina Ferrum to live in his territory so long as she used her powers to serve his purposes. The two eventually became partners, but even with Regina's powers they proved unable to hold on to power or conquer either the Free People of the Kingdom or the Ninja Clans they warred against. This changed once they received backing from Dr. Robotnik to become Sub-Bosses, establishing the Iron Dominion and conquering the Free Peoples even though the Ninja Clans still escaped their influence. He would later join the Iron Queen in trying to take Eggman's empire for their own, clashing with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters several times before finally being defeated along with the Iron Queen. His current whereabouts are unknown.
* AchillesHeel: To the Fan of Xen Fing.
* ALoadOfBull: Rather self-evident.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: How he's finally defeated when Ken breaks out a mystical fan he had thought hidden away. With one sweep, Ken sends him flying right out of the kingdom.
* AttackAttackAttack: His default strategy. Then again seeing how strong as he is, it's pretty justifed.
* BigNo: Lets this out after he's sent flying by the Fan of Fen Xing for the second time.
* TheBrute: Could be the poster child for this position in the comics, being big on brawn and possessing little in the way of brains.
* DumbMuscle: While more ambitious than most in this regard, in the end he’s this… he doesn’t have much in the way of strategic thinking beyond hitting things really hard, and generally leaves the planning to the Iron Queen.
* {{Expy}}: In some ways, to Kalibak of the DC Comics universe, being a big bruiser with an affinity for using a Tremor Mace in combat.
* GeneralFailure: He was this before getting before receiving backing from Robotnik, being unable to conquer either the Free People of the Dragon Kingdom OR the Ninja Clans.
* TheJuggernaut: Plays this role in the comic, being super-strong and almost impossible to really hurt. The best most can manage against him is slowing him down rather than flat out defeating him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Towers over his subordinates, along with everyone else.
* MeaningfulName: His name, Jun Kun, roughly translates into ‘Ruler of Earth’.
* MightyGlacier: Neither physically nor mentally the quickest of individuals, but still very, VERY powerful.
* NighInvulnerability: Another of his powers. Curiously, he is the only character in the comic with Super-Strength who is also displayed as being invulnerable.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Even with the comic gradually utilizing the streamlined design philosophy of the games for most of its Mobian characters, the Iron King still stands out.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he realizes the heroes have the Fan of Fen Xing.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Takes enormous pride in being a warrior and is VERY boastful about his prowess as one. This had lead him to commit acts of BondVillainStupidity, as he believes that letting someone live with the shame of defeat is worse than actually killing them… sufficed to say, this does not work out well for him. At all.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- like with the Queen, he is actually a Frank Strom creation.
* ShoutOut: Just as Monkey Khan is a shoutout to Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, so too is the Iron King a shoutout to the Demon Bull King of the same story, being a big evil Ox who has clashed with Monkey Khan in the past.
* UnholyMatrimony: Subverted; his title is strictly ceremonial, and he is emphatically NOT the Iron Queen’s husband. Though he was weirdly resentful of Snively during the time they spent in New Megaopolis…
* SuperStrength: Confirmed to be one of the top five strongest creatures on Mobius.
* WeaponOfChoice: His Tremor Mace.

!!!Other Villains
[[folder: Mammoth Mogul]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9-6-10_Mogul_6056.jpg]]
An ancient mammoth wizard with a penchant for verbosity.
* AffablyEvil: As power hungry as he is, he is distinguished by his upper-class etiquette, and has scruples concerning bargains. Is also finding enjoyment as a businessman to pass time before he can finally make a power play. That doesn't mean he won't enjoy making Sonic's life hell in the mean time however.
* AGodAmI: When hopped up on enough Chaos energy, he became [[SuperMode Master Mogul]], who was strong enough to nearly destroy ''[[TheMultiverse the whole Multiverse]]''. Fortunately, [[TheChosenOne Tails]] was able to stop him.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Of Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/VandalSavage. They're both a centuries-old warlord who was given immortality by GreenRocks. And like Vandal Savage in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, Mogul ends up surviving a future disaster and regretting the things he's done.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Usually can be seen sporting a really nice suit.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He ended up defeating Dimitri as Enerjak by showing up and depowering him to advance his own plans. In the "Enerjak Reborn" arc Sonic admits its a shame that they don't have any other magical bad guys on hand to do the dirty work again with the new Enerjak.
* BigBad: Has had his turn at being this several times over the course of the series.
* CompleteImmortality: His main schtick, thanks to the Chaos Emerald embedded in his chest.
* CruelElephant: A villainous mammoth with ambitions of world domination.
* DevilInPlainSight: His current status.
* EvilerThanThou: Pulled this on Dimitri and Ixis Naugus. His speech to a hospitalized Dimitri cinches it.
-->'''Mogul:''' We're two of a kind, you and I! Both creations from our exposure to the Chaos Emerald and both staring deep into the dark abyss.\\
'''Dimitri:''' You didn't mention -- how much -- we're accountable for!\\
'''Mogul:''' Is that a guilty conscience you're wearing on your sleeve Dimitri? It's a bit late in the game for that, wouldn't you say?\\
'''Dimitri:''' I did what I believed to be right! Can you say the same?\\
'''Mogul:''' The only thing that matters in life is survival! All else is secondary!
* EvilIsPetty: Sonic's opinion of him. He's powerful but more focused on greed than anything and not above just trying to make Sonic look bad.
* EvilSorcerer: The strongest in the series.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/VandalSavage. Both of which seeking world conquest, as well as immortality after being exposed to a cosmic power.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of almost the entire pre-genesis wave continuity, arguably. [[spoiler: Thousands of years ago, he founded the Order of Ixis, which eventually led to the creation of Ixis Naugus, whose actions, which may include starting the Great War, in turn led to Dr. Robotnik's rise to power, who's death ultimately led to nearly every villain in the book today, with Naugus responsible for the ones that aren't Mogul. Naugus and Robotnik are still quite active (and are, in fact, the current top two villains of the series), whereas Mogul has semi-retired from active villainy, running a casino and deciding to use his immortality to outlive the heroes and make his move then.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: In the far off future since there isn't really anything for him to take over anymore due to the world being destroyed. He devotes his time to training Silver.
* InformedAbility: Boasts in one instance when lacking a Chaos Emerald that he still has his magic and claims to possess SuperStrength due to his great size (he never took part in fight without using magic in the past), but got knocked out by Sally and a motorcycle immediately afterwords.
* LongGame: After gaining a new Chaos Emerald and his full power, he decides to take advantage of his immortality and simply wait it out until Sonic either died or was too old to oppose him, then resume his plan to TakeOverTheWorld; by this point, he's realized that no matter what he does or how powerful he gets, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin Sonic would]] ''[[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin always]]'' [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin find a way to win]].
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: His Casino Night Club, where he employs retired badniks and is directly adjacent to a place called the ''[[ObviouslyEvil Bottom of the Barrel Bar and Grill]]''.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Almost always a very fine suit.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As a mammoth, he looks a lot more realistic than many of the other Mobians.
* OldMaster: He's Silver's mentor in his future, having apparently seen the error of his ways, and Silver is completely ignorant of his former status as a villain.
* PragmaticVillainy: Mogul always presents himself as a man of class and treats his minions semi-decently as long as the benefits outweigh the costs. When he is imprisoned inside the Egg Grapes with his faction, Eggman notes that Mogul is protecting all of them from the life draining machines with his powers. As the Egg Grapes drain his energy more and more, Mogul retracts that protection to save himself, leaving the Arachne to die and forcing Naugus to take the brunt of the effects which left him with brain damage for a while. Though he still saved the Destructix, they abandon him, knowing if they'd been trapped longer he'd have let the Grapes kill them like the rest of Eggman's victims.
* PsychicPowers: Part and parcel of his super-powers.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- though ironically actually a Scott Fulop creation. Fulop would eventually lose in his attempt to claim copyright in court against Archie Comics.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Is, at least, ''12,000'' years old.
* SealedEvilInACan: Mogul has been sealed away a number of times in the series, but he always breaks loose.
** He was briefly sealed in the Master Emerald when it was formed, and escaped when Eggman broke it to feed Chaos.
** He was also trapped inside his [[HoistByHisOwnPetard own Chaos Emerald]] for a while and held there by the Ancient Walkers. However having wounded them earlier they were dying and he finally kills them when his plans for the Arachne to retrieved the Sword of Acorns comes to past.
** He was then imprisoned in the Egg Grapes, Eggman noted that Mogul's powers prevented him from degrading like so many other victims of the process. A.D.A.M. eventually frees him.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He is notably verbose in his speech, and routinely mocked for this.
-->'''Geoffery St. John:''' You said that all in one breath. You '''are''' a talker.
* StockDinosaurs: While mammoths are not true dinosaurs, they're among the most well-known and iconic of prehistoric non-dinosaurs. Mogul is also notable in that he's one of the ''only'' characters in the series to be derived from an extinct animal as opposed to an extant one.
* StrongAndSkilled: Best shown after stealing Enerjak's power. In addition to being a borderline RealityWarper, Mogul has had over a millennium to learn and master multiple different forms of combat, and was a match for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles' super forms simultaneously.
* TaughtByExperience: After breaking out of the prison in New Mobotropolis, he avoids fighting Sonic. Realizing that no matter what he did, SOMETHING would stop him, Mogul decided that since he was immortal, he would just wait till Sonic died of old age. And then TakeOverTheWorld. This probably wound up backfiring, because whatever cataclysm hit in the future wound up doing it in Sonic's lifetime and he likely wasn't powerful enough to combat the new threat, which likely contributed to his HeelFaceTurn in the future.
* WickedCultured: Despite his oft-unabashed malevolent goals, he conducts himself with great pride and decorum.
* VillainRespect: In spite of all of his attempts at killing the heroes he does hold some respect for them. When he and Amadeus Prower are in prison, Mogul tells him that Tails is a remarkable boy and that Amadeus should be proud of his son.

[[caption-width-right:350:Knuckles Incarnation]]
A demigod being imbued with the power of a living Chaos Emerald. While only two incarnations have been seen in the series, there are at least ''four'' incarnations.
The first Enerjak was a scientist whom the Ancient Walkers allowed to ascend into the Chaos Force alongside his lover Aurora. However, Enerjak became corrupted during his transcedence, he was scattered throughout the Chaos Force, but his dark spirit lingered on...
The second Enerjak, a researcher like the first, was corrupted by one of his experiments and possessed by the Enerjak's spirit. Rising to power during the Forgotten War between the Order of Ixis and the Albion Knights of Aurora, he was such a threat that the two warring factions agreed to a temporarily allience and defeated him through unknown means.
The third Enerjack(the first seen in the comics) was Dimitri, who attempted to drain power from the Chaos Emeralds that were keeping Angel Island afloat to try to bring it back down to earth. [[GoneHorriblyWrong His device failed,]] granting him the power that rivaled a god, which he intended to use until he was sealed away for several centuries. Eventually he returned to finish what he'd started by menacing Angel Island, only to be thwarted several times by the Guardian Knuckles. He was eventually stripped of his power by Mogul using the Sword of Acorns, ending the third Enerjak's reign for good.
The fourth and final Enerjack was the very Guardian Knuckles himself. Manipulated into becoming Enerjack by the evil Dr. Finitevus, Enerjack would proceed to eliminate nearly all threats to Angel Island in a single day; he banished the Dingoes to Sandopolis, vaporised their leader General Kage Von Stryker with their city, stripped the Dark Legion of their cybernetic implants (which he deemed "impure"), and destroyed Dr. Eggman's Egg Fleet with little effort. However, his time as Enerjack came to an end when Sonic went into his Super Form and, while he was distracted fighting him, Knuckles' father Locke sacrificed his life to break the spell he was under, bringing an end to the fourth incarnation of Enerjak.
For tropes pretaining to the Dark Mobius incarnations, go [[Characters/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehogOthers here]].
----
* EvilerThanThou: Eggman managed to capture the Knuckles incarnation, siphoning off some of his energy using his Egg Grapes. Enerjak proceeded to escape and decimate Eggman's forces and city, forcing the good doctor to take cover.
* AGodAmI: All of them, and they more or less are.
* HeroKiller: Is extremely feared by the heroes regardless of the incarnation. Knuckles really only survived against Dimitri the first time due to IdiotBall moments on Dimitri's part, Knuckles required Super Sonic to fight him, when Knuckles was Enerjak, Super Sonic was needed to fight him.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Every incarnation of Enerjak is a nigh-omnipotent RealityWarper, their powers and feats limited only by their imagination.
* TheJuggernaut: Went toe-to-toe with ''Super Sonic''.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Knuckles incarnation gets in on this quite a bit:
** Decimating Eggman's city and forces, which contributed to the good doctor's ongoing VillainousBreakdown. Of course, considering Eggman had recently nuked Knothole off the face of Mobius and gleefully tried to use its population to power his forces via the life-sucking Egg Grape Champers, on top of numerous other atrocities, you won't feel bad for him.
--->'''Enerjak''': There. I was planning on punishing Dr. Eggman anyway.
** His killing of Kage Von Stryker, by slowly tearing him apart molecule by molecule. Considering Kage was a racist bastard who overthrew his more reasonable father as the leader of the Dingo Regime, happily worked for Eggman in order to [[FinalSolution wipe out the Echidna population]], and went so far as to put numerous Echidnas in what were blatantly [[POWCamp Nazi-style concentration camps]], he gets absolutely no sympathy from the audience.
* KnightOfCerebus: Any time a version of Enerjak shows up, it's a sign things will take a turn for the worse.
* LegacyCharacter: So far, Dimitri, Knuckles, his counterpart from the "Dark Mobius" universe, and said counterpart's daughter have worn the mantle of Enerjak. Finitevus has implied that there have been more, touching back on the fact that when in flashbacks Dimitri took the name Enerjak he said he was taking the name of an "ancient evil."
** The [[AllThereInTheManual encyclopedia]] released recently reveals [[spoiler:Dimitri was the ''third'' Enerjak. The first was an echidna researcher who was given the chance to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence but became corrupted and his consciousness was scattered across the Chaos Force. This original Enerjak [[DemonicPossession suppresses the consciousness]] of others, including Dimitri, Knuckles, and an unnamed Enerjak who fought in the Forgotten Wars.]]
* PhysicalGod: Even among super form characters these guys are strong.
* RealityWarper: To a slight degree.
* OmnicidalManiac: More Dimitri than Knuckles' incarnation.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* SmugSnake: The Dimitri incarnation shows that he is far more powerful than Knuckles, and only loses because he flat doesn't use his powers when fighting him.
* UnskilledButStrong: A failing of the Dimitri incarnation, wielding demigod powers at his minimum, Dimitri constantly underestimates his opponents, becomes extremely frustrated with those on his level that he can't simply steamroll over, (causing him to make careless mistakes), and doesn't know how to strategize. Not helping is the fact that prior to gaining his power, Dimitri was a scientist echidna, not a warrior, so he has no experience in actual fighting. Knuckles, who is a trained fighter, lands several good hits on him, and even points out to him; "All that power and I'm still surprised at what a glass jaw you have!" and; "You may be stronger, but do you even know how to fight?"
* WellIntentionedExtremist: More Knuckles' incarnation than Dimitri's.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The Knuckles incarnation suffers this when he fights Super Sonic; Super Sonic only managed to last as long as he did thanks to a combination of his NighInvulnerability, the fact that Enerjak had just been drained of much of his Chaos energy by Eggman's [[SoulPoweredEngine Egg Grape Chambers]], and Knuckles' limited imagination preventing him from using Enerjak's power to [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower its fullest extent]].

[[folder: Uma Arachnis / Arachne]]
[[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arachnis_9100.png]]
A mysterious spider ninja and servant to Ixis Naugus with a drive to claim the mystical Sword of Acorns. She and her children, a ninja team of Spiders dubbed 'The Arachne', took it upon themselves to steal the sword from any who wished to wield it, good or evil. Both Arachnis and her children died guarding the sword.
* TheAce: She was the top ninja of her clan.
* AllWebbedUp: A natural ability of hers as a spider.
* EnigmaticMinion: For years her origin, why she was in the Zone of Silence, and her reasons for serving Naugus (and later Kodos) were unexplained. Eventually it was revealed that she was a member of the Gossamer Clan, and that her allegiance Naugus and Kodos was all part of a VERY convoluted scheme to prevent the Source of All from falling into evil.
* GeneticMemory: A natural ability, this is how she continued her plans after death and how her children gained their skills and drive to capture the Sword of Acorns.
* KilledOffForReal:
** Uma Arachnis badly wounded by Kodos after he went nuts, later dying from the poison killing Kodos.
** The Arachne were all victims of the Egg Grapes.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She has SIX arms, courtesy of being a spider.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Often fought with several weapons at once. Interestingly, her children all specialized in the use of a single weapon.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* TheQuietOne: Only spoke a few times over the course of the entire comic.
* ScrewDestiny: By peering into her clan’s mystical ‘Web of Destiny’, she foresaw that the Source of All would eventually fall into the hands of evil. Everything she did in the comic was to stop this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything she did was done to prevent a catastrophe. Towards this end she allied with power hungry would-be world conquerors and set-up her own children to continue her goals after her death.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2020_07_22_kodos03_webp_webp_image_567_641_pixels.png]]
The Kingdom of Acorn's Warlord before Julian, he's a key figure to the comic's backstory. Plotting to overthrow King Acorn long before Robotnik came along, Kodos conspired with Ixis Naugus towards this end and even helped him drive the kindly Nate Morgan out of the Kingdom. Later, with the help of Naugus, he would orchestrate the Great War, and was eventually betrayed and banished to the Zone of Silence by Julian, where he would become a lackey of Naugus. After escaping the Zone of Silence, Kodos went solo, clashing several times with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters and as well trying to capture the Sword of Acorns. Eventually driven mad by the irradiated environment of Robotropolis and died falling into a crevice.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: Had plans to overthrow the King before Robotnik betrayed him.
* AnAxeToGrind: His weapon of choice.
* AxCrazy: Became this eventually. By the time of his final appearance he had been driven completely mad, with an obsessive focus on the Sword of Acorns.
* TheBerserker: Tended to resort to most problems with his axe, and relished every minute of it. After being poisoned, he took this UpToEleven.
* BloodKnight: Pretty much his whole motivation for starting the Great War, as he only knows how to fight.
* TheBrute: Served this role when working for Naugus, though he was a bit smarter and much more ambitious than most examples of this trope.
* CatsAreMean: The meanest in this comic; he started the Great War out of raw hatred and ambition.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Much like his partners Naugus and Robotnik, Kodos ultimately doesn't cotton to playing second fiddle, plotting to betray his king and then attempting to murder Naugus when they succeeded at their plan to drive Nate Morgan away.
* DisneyVillainDeath: How he met his end, though he would have died eventually even if he hadn't taken a plunge.
* FantasticRacism: Felt a great deal of this for Overlanders, enough so that he not only framed Nate Morgan and successfully drove him into self-exile, but also ended up orchestrating the Great War. Interestingly, he was willing to put this aside and actually tried to coax Julian into assisting him with his own plans for taking over the Kingdom, recognizing him as a kindred spirit.
* GeneralFailure: While a brave and fierce warrior, Kodos ultimately became this during the Great War, proving unable to beat back the Overlanders. It's also the reason he was demoted in favor of Julian when the latter defected over to the Mobians.
* KilledOffForReal: After being poisoned by Robotropolis' toxins he became a feral, maddened beast, going on a rampage and attempting to steal the Sword of Acorns. After a brief battle with the Freedom Fighters he fell into a crevice, and WordofGod states that if the fall didn't kill him he would have eventually succumbed to the toxins anyway.
* MysteriousPast: The Encyclopedia notes that not much is known of Kodos Lion's history before coming to the Kingdom of Acorn. He was born in the Efrikan continent and the peaceful ways of his home made him leave to seek combat, but beyond that nothing else is known.
* PantheraAwesome: Comes with being a lion.
* PredecessorVillain: To Robotnik. Like Robotnik, he was the Warlord of the Kingdom of Acorn and a trusted servant of the King, and secretly plotted to usurp his liege and dominate Mobius afterwards. Even better, he tutored Robotnik in the art of war and tried to induct him into his conspiracy to conquer the Kingdom, only to be betrayed by him.
* PutOnABus: Dead, but now can never be referenced after the reboot.
* RockBeatsLaser: Evidently a practitioner of this; flashbacks show that even during the Great War he only ever fought with his battleaxe, while the Overlanders were into using guns and futuristic tech to fight the Mobians. Somehow, despite this, he managed to survive the war long enough for Robotnik to defect over to the Kingdom.
* TakenForGranite: When he returns from the Zone of Silence with Naugus, Naugus turns him into crystal to increase Kodos's durability in battle. When Naugus's wand is destroyed, Kodos loses the magic animating his crystaline body and became a "temporary" statue.
* WouldHurtAChild: Upon finding a teenage Mobian and Overlander conspiring to end the war via false scouting reports, Kodos has them brought before him and then proceeds to murder them both with his bare hands. He sends their bodies to their respective sides, hoping to finally turn the longstanding aggression into a war.

[[folder: Dr. Finitevus]]
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dr__Finitevus_1_7631.png]]
Originally a normal echidna scientist, he was corrupted by excessive Chaos Energy when attempting to de-power Chaos Knuckles. This renegade Echidna has developed a twisted belief that the world is corrupt that needs to be cleansed, and will do anything he can to accomplish his goals.
* AbortedArc: Last seen of him was in a ''Sonic Universe'' arc where he tried to steal the Master Emerald. He was defeated and thrown off Angel Island but was still scheming something. He's mentioned by the Destructix that they made a deal with him in exchange for needing a Warp Ring to bust out Scrouge. But then the Cosmic Retcon happened and any storylines with him went out the window.
* ArchEnemy: To Knuckles, replacing Dimitri.
* BigBad: For the "Enerjak Reborn" arc.
* CombatPragmatist: Rather than fighting hand-to-hand, he prefers using his warp rings to make enemies knock themselves out. He's also threatened to close a warp ring while someone is only partially through it.
* EnemyMine: Partnered with Locke to prevent A.D.A.M. from seizing the Master Emerald on the grounds that he "[[{{Foreshadowing}} needed it for his own reasons]]". He later used this temporary alliance (plus hired humanitarian aid from the Destructix) to convince Locke to leave Angel Island in his care and search for his ancestors.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: At the end of the Enerjak Reborn arc, he happily informs Julie-Su, Archimedes, and Locke that the only way to free Knuckles from his control is if one of them performs a HeroicSacrifice to break the hex. He's caught by surprise when all three of them volunteer to do so without hesitation, and calls them "grave-eager fools".
* EvilCounterpart: To Knuckles, in a way. He actually looks a bit like a negative photo of Knux, fights using similar powers, and has an evil version of the emerald chant from Sonic Adventure.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Ordinarily a brilliant mind from the Echidna city of Albion, an incident involving Chaos Knuckles, Saffron and Charmy Bee, and an invention of his own creation led to his transformation into one of the worst villains Mobius had ever seen. Dangerous and manipulative, he nearly brought about The EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt by using Knuckles, and was directly responsible for Albion's destruction and the deaths of hundreds of Echidnas.
* HijackingCthulhu: The entire point of his Enerjak Reborn project was to make a new incarnation of [[PhysicalGod Enerjal]] that he could control to enact his goals.
* KarmaHoudini: While none of his plans have ever worked the way he intended, he's still responsible for Enerjak rampaging across Moebius and has yet to suffer any beat downs or HumiliationConga defeats the way other villains have, because he always [[VillainExitStageLeft gets away thanks to his warp rings.]]
** Save for the last encounter with Knuckles which ended with him thrown off Angel Island. He survives (albeit it with a broken arm) but at least he had more of a defeat there.
%%* MadScientist
* ManipulativeBastard: He once manipulated Scourge, the Destructix, Dimitri, Knuckles and his father, and ''two'' factions of the Dark Legion into helping him create a new Enerjak.
* ObviouslyEvil: By far the most evil looking character in the comic and often lampshaded by ''Scourge'' of all people who refers to him as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Dr Creepy Von Evil"]].
%%* OmnicidalManiac
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In his debut, Finitevus has to deal with an Echidna couple who's child had been blinded and who wanted Knuckles to cure him with his chosen one powers. Finitevus had told them that the Legion could restore the child's sight easily through robotic implants and the couples' insistence in relying on superstition instead of hard science causes Finitevus to get into a shouting fit.
** Though Finitevus is one of the most morally black characters he also teams up with the heroes a number of times when his goals align with theirs. He allied with the Dark Legion and the Brotherhood against Eggman and the Dingo Regime and later he and Locke worked together to stop A.D.A.M. from taking the Master Emerald.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot -- although he is actually a Karl Bollers creation.
%%* VillainExitStageLeft
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes that the world is corrupt, and that it needs to be "purified" - in other words, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroyed]]. Though it's more KnightTemplar if anything.
* YouKilledMyFather: Not directly, but Knuckles holds him responsible for the death of his father, since Locke killed himself in order to free Knuckles from Finitevus' control.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Sand-Blaster Freedom Fighters]]
A group of freedom fighters who originally fought against Robotnik's tyranny in Sand Blast City. However, after the Robians were de-roboticized, they revealed that the fighting [[HeWhoFightsMonsters had left them self-centered, cruel, and prejudiced]]; they treated the former robians so badly that they ''willingly'' returned to Eggman and signed on as members of his Dark Egg Legion to defend themselves.
* FantasticRacism: Their treatment of the former Robians is definitely an example of this; "Once a Robian, always a Robian," was their motto.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Let's just say they're not the most morally upright Freedom Fighter group.
* JerkAss: Every single one of 'em
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Deconstructed when they first meet Sonic, as they like him ''so'' much they try to keep him captive.
* MyGreatestFailure: This is the subject of a story where Sonic reflects on how he could probably have dealt with them in a better way the first time. A talk about it helps him deal, and he soon has even [[SerialEscalation bigger problems]] on his mind. This is before the Sand-Blasters ''really'' JumpOffTheSlipperySlope.
* OhCrap: When Jack finds out that Mighty had tricked him with a phony identity and was league with the Chaotix, he orders his troops to fire on Mighty as, as the time, he was being bound by shackles. Mighty's sister, Matilda, got in the way and took a blast for him. As you can imagine, Mighty didn't take kindly to that since he had just reunited with her. Cue UnstoppableRage, Mighty breaking loose, and single-handily going to town on their vehicles, forcing them to run for their lives. [[spoiler: Considering this was their last appearance before the retcon, it was a fitting send off.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Their prejudice against and mistreatment of the ex-Robians in Sand Blast City is what drove them to join the Dark Egg Legion in the first place.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Not that the separate Freedom Fighter groups were a unified front in the first place, but this one always stood out.
* ShoutOut: Their appearances were based on several ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters. Jack Rabbit was Bugs Bunny, Tex was Wile E. Coyote, and Rev was the Road Runner.

[[folder: General Helmut von Stryker]]
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/VonStryker_4157.jpg]]
The leader of the Dingo Regime, Helmut Von Stryker was an enemy of Knuckles’ turned quasi-ally. For centuries the dingoes and echidna fought tooth and nail. When both the dingoes and the echidna returned from their pocket dimensions in the present, Von Stryker attempted to resume the ancient feud only to be beaten back by Knuckles while the Dingo’s home city was destroyed. Living at the mercy of his former enemies, Von Stryker did everything in his power to try and ensure that his people would have a life outside the slums of Echidnapolis, encouraging extreme activism to get his message across. Was temporarily usurped by his son, and in the aftermath, he returned to leading his people in the Sandopolis Zone.
* AntiHero: Though he debuts as an antagonist Helmut ultimately spends more time as a heroic character or uneasy ally.
* AntiVillain: While generally antagonistic toward Knuckles and echidna-kind, Von Stryker’s main concerns were taking care of his people and ensuring that they were given the same standard of living as the echidna.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Overlaps with AssKickingEqualsAuthority.
* BadassNormal: Despite being a normal dingo, he managed to punch Mammoth Mogul in the face and live.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Punched Mammoth Mogul in the face while Mogul was ‘Master Mogul’, and actually managed to hurt him.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He outfits himself with a powerful gauntlet for his first fight with Knuckles. Subsequent fights with the Dark Legion and Mammoth Mogul had him resort to standard Dingo Firearms and his own physical strength.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He didn't approve of his son's methods but he did love him nonetheless and is visibly sadden by his death.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may have been against the Echidnas but he never went as far as enslaving them as his son did. He just wanted a better life for his people away from them. He's also not above teaming with Knuckles for the greater good.
* EyepatchAfterTimeskip: Stryker was last seen leading the Dingos in an attack against the Xorda superweapon pre-timeskip. Post-timeskip he was MIA for quite a while as his son had deposed him; when he appears again in the desert he's revealed to be wearing an eyepatch likely as a result of his son.
* FantasticRacism: As per tradition, feels a good deal of this towards the echidna.
* FightingForAHomeland: His ultimate goal. The Dingo’s own homeland was destroyed when the zones shifted, and since then he has been trying to give his people a life that didn’t rely on the Echidna’s dubious ‘charity’. In the aftermath of Enerjak Reborn, he got what he wanted.
* FourStarBadass: Seems to be a prerequisite for being the leader of the dingoes.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Had a rather gnarly looking one over his right eye. When his son took over the regime, he [[EyepatchOfPower lost it entirely]].
* HeartbrokenBadass: In spite of everything, he still loved his son. Kage's death shook him despite his acknowledgment that he was a tyrant.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A major difficulty that Knuckles had in dealing with Stryker during the Dingo immigration into Echidnopolis is that Stryker was often in the right. The Dingoes were stuck as second class citizens and Stryker's belief that the government was attempting to go back on their promise for housing is ultimately proven correct. Even though he was critical of them, Stryker really did try to have the Dingoes cooperate with the Echidnas and mobilized them to defend the city multiple times.
* LargeAndInCharge: Before the ArtShift dingoes were typically portrayed as being taller than other animals, and Von Stryker was bigger than the other Dingo.
* NobleBigot: While feeling a great deal of loathing for the echidna, he looked out for his people’s best interests and fought against his son’s genocidal actions.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Dingo society revolved around their military, and is more about discipline and order than ‘honor’ and ‘might makes right’.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot.
* ShoutOut: His design and Germanic name are shout-outs to Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he did was done in the name of giving his people a better life.

[[folder: General Kage von Stryker]]
[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KageVonStryker_6545.png]]
The son of Helmut Von Stryker. During Sonic’s time in space, Kage overthrew his father for leadership of the dingoes and accepted military backing from the Eggman Empire. With their combined troops, technology, and weaponry, Kage began a horrific war of retribution and conquest against the echidna. He was eventually ousted from power thanks to the efforts of Knuckles, Sonic, and the Chaotix, but unfortunately, he managed to reduce the Echidna population significantly. During the Enerjak Reborn arc, Kage was disintegrated after bad-mouthing Enerjak.
* AntagonisticOffspring: He was this towards his father, whom he resented for actually working with the echidna rather than taking the most violent route possible.
* AssholeVictim: Knuckles as Enerjak is unleashed on the world and he does a lot of damage. He displaces people, depowered the legion, exiled the innocent Echidna, and attacked his friends. However when it came to actual murder the only one he ended up killing was Kage which kept him from becoming too unsympathetic considering Kage's notorious cruelty.
* BrokenPedestal: He once respected his father, but became frustrated by his willingness to work with the echidna, leading Kage to usurp his position.
* {{Cyborg}}: His entire left side, as well as his right hand and the right half of his face, is cybernetic.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: His father still had some feelings of paternal affection for him after all he'd done. Though considering what Kage did to him it's implied this wasn't mutual.
* EvilerThanThou: Helmut may have hated echidnas, but he could be reasoned with and was willing to open a dialogue with them. Kage would not and resented that Helmut would even consider working with them.
* FantasticRacism: Like his father, he hates the echidna. Unlike his father, he decided to just kill them all.
* FascistButInefficient: While Helmut was authoritarian most viewed his administration as fairly effective; Kage by contrast was far more of a fascist and his rule was far less effective. Even though Kage was essentially running Angel Island for a time, his regime was mostly concerned about snuffing out the echidnas and working to expand Eggman's grip. The Dingo Regime still traded with the outside world but a number of civilian Dingos noted how much more efficient Helmut's rule was than Kage's.
* KickTheDog: Kage was often depicted as cruel and brutal to the point of pointlessness.
** The Echidna population was reduced significantly because of Kage and his actions. He even willingly joined the Eggman Empire for the resources to carry out his genocide.
** While he enjoyed torturing Locke he was at least under orders by Eggman to get information from him. What he did to Harry though was largely because Harry's betrayal pissed him off and Kage disfigured him.
* KilledOffForReal: He's vaporized by Enerjak.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The dingoes, in general, skirted this line thanks to their fascist styled culture and their leader, but after Kage took over it becomes blatant; menacing uniforms, a flag with a red, black and white color scheme, enacting genocidal cruelty against a longstanding ethnic enemy by putting them into work-camps, etc.
* PsychoElectro: His cybernetics gave him this powerset.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Before his introduction, there had never been any mention of Helmut Von Stryker having a son or any kind of family.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To his father. He was created when the writers decided that Von Stryker going on a genocidal rampage was out of character.
* TooDumbToLive: Yes, Kage, mouth off about how many echidna you’ve killed to the crazy echidna demigod. That’s BOUND to work out for you in the long run.
* TortureTechnician: Liked to handle this job personally.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He's his dad with cyborg parts.
* TheUsurper: Overthrew his father for command over the dingoes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: A.D.A.M]]
A computer program meant to serve Eggman. It gained sentience and assumed control of Eggman's nanites, using the Freedom Fighter, Tommy Turtle, as a living avatar to bond onto and try to kill the doctor.
* AIIsACrapshoot: For the good doctor though no ally of the Freedom Fighters. He's looking out for himself.
* BaitTheDog: Initially A.D.A.M. didn't seem all that bad. He was a ComicallySerious character with a naivety stemming from his literal-mindedness; Tails even "defeats" him in the first arc by playing a game of riddles, which A.D.A.M. admits to having enjoyed. As the series goes on A.D.A.M. grows to be a much more violent, manipulative, and cruel character than originally believed, nearly killing Bunnie, jacking Tommy's body, and having his sister M killed.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to his sister Mecha's Abel. Mecha and A.D.A.M. actually didn't have much of a relationship at all, but A.D.A.M. saw her as a threat to his plans and tricked Robotnik into ordering her to self destruct; later A.D.A.M. would delete her files himself. It's implied that part of this was out of envy of M being Eggman's favorite.
* FunWithAcronyms: Short for Autonomous Digital Assault Microbe. Also for "Adam Determines Anonymous' Movements".
* ManipulativeBastard: Manipulated a lot of event behind the scenes including Mammoth Mongol, Ixis and the Destructix as well as Eggman. This lead to the death of his "sister", M whom he framed was working against Eggman. Eggman promptly had M self destruct as a result and any files of her deleted. He later regretted that decision when he found out A.D.A.M's deception.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Sorta, due to making a city full of nanites. NICOLE would later use it to create a New Mobotropolis, locating the citizens of Knothole there after Eggman destroys their initial home.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. However, his nanites are briefly mentioned in the first post-reboot issue.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: When it took control of the nanites, it was able to do this. Though could only move around using Tommy Turtle's body.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Nicolette "Nic" the Weasel]]
Nack's younger sister and a capable thief and bounty hunter in her own right. She had a rivalry with Rouge and Fiona Fox. Gone after the Penders lawsuit.
* AmbiguousSituation: The Encyclopedia remarks on her disappearance with rumors ranging from retirement to Nack having killed her.
* PunchClockVillain: In contrast to Nack whose enmity with the Freedom Fighters grows more personal and ugly, Nic is just about a paycheck and is fine working with the good-guys so long as she's compensated. Even her debut was as a fairly neutral and non-hostile party who even saved Ray (though she expected to be paid for the deed).
* PunnyName: Nic and Nack, or knickknack.
* PutOnABus: Gone after the reboot. Being the sister of Nack (a Sega character) might still have gotten her booted from the reboot continuity.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Nic just sort of disapears from the story. Fiona references her in a flashback and the Encyclopedia offers some theories, but in story Nic never appeared again. Flynn considered killing her off but fan reaction made him reconsider, but then the reboot hit and Nic was dropped from the story.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: One proposed redesign would have changed her look completely, with her fur going from purple to pink.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Thrash the Devil]]
A Tasmanian devil who has a beef with the echidnas, due to the fact that they experimented upon the Tasmanian Devils in ancient times and ultimately caused them to devolve into feral, unintelligent beasts now known as "Devil Dogs". As such, he has butted heads with Knuckles a few times.
* AntiVillain: He's against Eggman like many of the cast and willing to fight for the greater good. But his main focus is on the echidnas for what they did to his people. And he'll do anything to make sure they pay for their crimes.
* ArchEnemy: To Knuckles via an association to echidna.
* CruelMercy: Chooses to "spare" Knuckles rather than banishing him into another Zone with the rest of the echidna population. He views this as LaserGuidedKarma of the "eye for an eye" kind; now they're ''both'' the LastOfHisKind.
* TheBadGuyWins: Wasn't intended, but the lawsuit with Penders forced the writers to allow him to succeed in his plan to trap the echidnas (and Saffron) in parts unknown via a warp ring. Achieving his revenge and leaving Knuckles the last of his kind.
* EnemyMine: With Knuckles during the ''Knuckles The Return'' arc in ''Sonic Universe'' as the Freedom Fighters there are trying to stop Finitevus.
* LastOfHisKind: One of the few non-feral Tasmanian Mobians left, if not the only one left.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Can uses a sonic howl as his main power.
* PutOnABus: Upon pulling this trope on most of the remaining echidnas, he was last seen jumping into his warp ring during his fight with Knuckles, which deactivates and prevents Knuckles from following. He won't be returning due to the reboot erasing him from existence.
* TokenEvilTeammate: To the Downunda Freedom Fighters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Colin Kintober]]
The Chief Justice in the Overlander society and one of its premier Generals, Colin was a major player during the Great War. He's the brother of Robotnik and the father of Snively. After the war was lost, Colin took his people into space, seeking a new planet to inhabit. With their search fruitless they returned to Mobius only to be welcomed by Dr. Eggman, his brother from another dimension.
----
* AbusiveParent: Was this to his son, Snively. Likely the reason Snively joined Robotnik.
* AntiVillain: An Overlander-supremacist, but dedicated to the survival and protection of his people.
* CainAndAbel: ZigZagged with Robotnik. It was Colin who first acted against his brother, sentencing him to prison for experimenting on their people and ordering his death when he escaped. Robotnik never really got the chance to pay his brother back as he'd fled the planet by the time the Doctor attained power. With Eggman though it's flipped around. Eggman killed the Colin of his dimension and ultimately lures in and kills Prime-Colin as well.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: While Colin wasn't privy to many of Robotnik's atrocities, he did sentence him for his crimes against humanity and with that in mind shouldn't have been so quick to judge his brother as having reformed. It's to the extent that he refuses to believe that Eggman is behind the Robians as Hope claims... until Eggman himself enters and personally confirms that Hope is telling the truth.
* KilledOffForReal: Colin punches Eggman's body and is roboticized by the Doctor's touch-based robotic form. As it was unwilling, Colin becomes a lifeless statue, frozen in place. The characters InUniverse wonder if they can reverse the Overlander roboticisation and restore them to life but before they can do anything, Station Square nukes the city, destroying Colin's body and preventing any possibility of restoring him.
* PredecessorVillain: Colin's stint as an antagonist was more towards the Parents of the Freedom Fighters, having shot out Amadeaus's eye and coordinated the war-effort against the Mobians. When he returns in the present he's far less of an antagonist to Sonic and co.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: With a twist. Robotnik's roboticisation procedure turns Mobians into mindless drones but to Overlanders they become non-sentient statues unless they undergo the process willingly.
