As with [[WhatAnIdiot/SonicTheHedgehog the rest of the series]], Sonic's [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW more recent comic run]] isn't immune from its characters making stupid decisions.

'''Results:''' Clutch is able to ''literally'' walk right into Restoration HQ and sign a deal with Jewel. Whatever it is, it would definitely be rigged in his favour. On that idea...

'''Results:''' Clutch is able to ''literally'' walk right into Restoration HQ and sign a deal with Jewel. Whatever it is, it would definitely be rigged in his favour. On that idea...
** Clutch is planning on signing a rigged deal with the Restoration director Jewel, which is why he got Mimic (#62) along with Surge and Kit (#67) to infiltrate the organization while he got the Babylon Rogues (#65-66) to draw Knuckles and the Chaotix away.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For him to use a pseudonym along with a changed appearance when meeting with Jewel or a puppet representative in his stead. Common sense dictates that her friends whom he ran afoul of would've blabbed about his criminal activities to her considering that enough time has passed. Walking through the front door of the Restoration as himself might as well come with a set of complementary handcuffs topped with a spindash.\\
'''Instead:''' He literally banks on ''no one'' informing Jewel about him. It is only by the ''dumber actions of the heroes'' that his own dumb action didn't get him caught on a silver platter!!

'''You'd Expect:''' For any of the above-mentioned cast to warn law enforcement and the Restoration that a powerful crime lord is active and to keep tabs on him if arresting him isn't an option.\\

'''Results:''' Clutch is able to ''literally'' walk right into Restoration HQ and sign a deal with Jewel. Whatever it is, it would definitely be rigged in his favour.

* Issue #65 has a couple of these that as Sonic would call them, "big oofs".

'''Results:''' It predictably gets crushed soon after it was brought out. She is very lucky her mother is in a very forgiving(?) mood.
** Clutch is a known criminal tycoon who has resumed operations in the vacuum left behind by Eggman and has encountered the various members of the cast before in various escapades. Cream, Tails, Sonic, Shadow, Rouge and Amy found out about his less-than-ethical Chao races (#33-#36) while the Chaotix busted one of his criminal operations by accident (#48). He only escaped those encounters due to violently resisting arrest and escaping.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For any of the above mentioned cast to warn law enforcement and the Restoration that a criminal tycoon is active and to keep tabs on him if arresting him isn't an option.\\
'''Instead:''' They don't tell ''anyone else'' about him.\\

'''Even Worse:''' Due to being "injured", Mimic/Duo is offered an admin role by Jewel as compensation, effectively handing him information on the Restoration on a [[JustForPun silver]] platter. His mistake turned into a checkmate due to the heroes' sheer incompetence!

'''You'd Expect:''' For the girl to focus on ''getting the two burglars'' out of her house first before even thinking about touching the oven. The oven goes by a set timer and wouldn't operate any further without outside input. If she is really worried about the roast being overcooked, just open the oven door for a quick sniff for any burnt smells before shutting it.\\

'''Results:''' Naturally, Silver busts free and lives to tell the tale. Whisper later sets out to investigate the mishap and approaches Silver for answers. When Silver reports the eye color change, Whisper realizes "Duo" is in fact Mimic and resolves to hunt him down. This should be the end of it but...

'''You'd Expect:''' For the duo to confide in the other Diamond Cutters or even the other heroes first in private about this possibility first before doing anything while digging for any info on "Duo the cat". It is shown previously that Mimic/Duo is clearly using any public attempts to expose him to earn sympathy and win any suckers over. Even better, if Whisper's mask is in recording mode, ''show the footage of him tripping Silver'' to the others to at least show that "Duo" is hiding something malicious.\\
'''Instead:''' Silver and Whisper don't do any of this and go guns blazing ''in public'' to force Mimic out of his disguise when secretly putting him in danger isn't making him break his disguise. The latter was done with Silver's powers, in where their color made it very obvious that it was his doing, digging himself deeper. This results in a brawl between Whisper and Lanolin while Silver in his attempts to interrogate "Duo" results in him [[WoundedGazelleGambit feigning injury]] when in the grasp Silver's psychic powers.\\
'''Result:''' "Duo" has his cover reinforced even more than ever, Silver is booted out of the Diamond Cutters by Lanolin and Tangle's vote ([[UnwittingPawn which plays into Mimic's plan of getting rid of Silver in the first place]]) while Whisper is temporary benched under the grounds of being emotionally unstable. Whisper even gives up on the idea that Duo is Mimic when she sees what all this has caused between the Diamond Cutters!\\
'''Even Worse:''' Due to being "injured", Duo is offered an admin role by Jewel as compensation, effectively handing him information on the Restoration on a silver platter. Mimic's mistake turned into a checkmate due to the heroes' sheer incompetence!

'''You'd Also Expect:''' For the girl trio to notice the contradiction about Duo saying that he supposedly couldn't save Silver from the Chopper and had to fend for himself when he ran to them while his response to being accused by Silver of abandoning him is that he was going to get help. Such a mismatch would definitely earn some raised eyebrows.\\

* In Issue #17, Charmy thinks that one of the citizens, who was only partly infected when he first saw her, and walled off by Vector, may still be able to be rescued.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Charmy could take an aerial view, as Vector did not put a ceiling on the cell, and he could confirm the citizen’s infection status before taking action.\\

'''Result:''' "Duo" has his cover reinforced even more than ever while Silver is booted out of the Diamond Cutters by Lanolin and Tangle's vote for being too unstable. Whisper even gives up on the idea that Duo is Mimic when she sees what all this has caused between the Diamond Cutters!\\

'''Result:''' Kit turns out to have [[ISurrenderSuckers faked surrender, sidelining himself only to sell his deception]], and catches the heroes off-guard after [[VillainousRescue thwarting Eggman's betrayal]]. With Surge in tow, he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech verbally stings]] the game characters and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves them]] [[LeftForDead to die]], much to Sonic and Tails' dejection.

'''Results''': Belle has no choice but to use the lighter to see in the dark. She gets startled by a Motobug and falls back and hits her head on a rock, rendering her unconscious with the lighter still on, possibly implying that ''she'' caused the forest fire.

'''Instead''': Kit and Surge find out that Dr Starline had [[DeathofPersonality overwritten their previous personalities]], [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed them to serve their roles]] and didn't even bother to record their pasts, leaving them with no real answers regarding their former identities.\\
'''Result''': Dr Starline catches them, tries to fight them both and gets a taste of his own medicine. Kit and Surge now resolve to follow Starline's plans and intend to stab him in the back later down the line.

'''Result''': She falls to her supposed doom as the building rumbles and caves in, with Sonic calling after her.
* The climax of ''Overpowered'' also has Tails try to ToWinWithoutFighting against Kit, [[HopeSpot apparently succeeding]] when the latter stands down.\\

'''Result:''' Kit turns out to have [[ISurrenderSuckers faked surrender, sidelining himself only to sell his deception]], and catches the heroes off-guard after [[VillainousRescue thwarting Eggman's betrayal]]. With Surge in tow, he leaves both teams to die in Starline's CollapsingLair, coldly giving the heroes [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech one hell of a takedown]] on his way out.

* In Issue #26, Cream has been informed of what the Zeti can do, of how vicious they are, and how bad their situation is. She's been asked by Gemerl, her guardian, to stay behind on Angel Island and not confront Zeena, the Zeti Gemerl was assigned to fight.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Cream to listen to Gemerl, wish him luck, and stay put.\\
'''You'd Also Expect''': Her to ''immediately'' attack Zeena if she must go along with this, given that not only is Zeena incredibly dangerous on her own, but she currently has zombots flanking her that could infect Cream with a single touch, if Zeena is given any chance to use them.\\
'''Instead''': Cream jumps into the portal, runs up to Zeena, and demands that she give up the Emerald.\\
