What’s sad to think about is if his son had kids of his own and are also fans of Sonic, then they grew up with their grandpappy’s insane ramblings about the franchise.

Apparently Pariah will also be going over the other versions of Colors, Generations, etc.

IIRC his kids showed up in the Sonic Live comic, or at least the characters there were based off his kids.

About that Scourge comic Penders tried to publish, if your wondering what kind of company (Rush Comics) would actually work with Penders...... well here's their cancelation announcement

Should note their donations they refunded was a measly 29 dollars

The Sonic fandom may not have all the details of the Penders situation, and merely see him as "the enemy". But even they knew making deals with Ken was scummy, and they wouldn't tolerate it.

Hell, Scourge wasn’t even owned by Penders.

Ian Flynn made him.

It was a team effort. Spaziante designed him, Mike Pellerito named him, Flynn wrote him. All Penders did was put the base character for others to work with.

Its why Penders lawsuit failed, Archie couldn't really agree which which character you could say was his because so many of the ones he was fighting for are derivatives like Robin Hood Sonic.

Scourge was originally just a Sonic clone with a jacket and sunglasses, it was only after him that Scourge became a distinct character like DC Comics' Ultraman.

Amusingly when Neil Gaimin he sued Todd Mac Farlane did have a better time claiming Medieval Spawn was his character.

Penders also did sign a contract and the photocopies were determined to be evidence that he did sign said contract.

I'm sure if Archie's legal team didn't choose to settle Penders would've just lost the lawsuit outright.

TIL the idea for Sonic started as an action game about twin brothers who protect the dream world from Nightmare World's boss "Thirteen". It evolved into Sonic. (And no connection to NiGHTS.)

I'll always wonder if that image of the mage-looking guy inspired Naugus from SatAM.

Ken Penders comes off like Dan Didio; the biggest punching bag in a franchise who didn't commit a crime

The adventure games gave every character themes of their own, and they all slapped to high heaven. Especially Eggman's.

Perfection doesn't need alternatives.

(Still, a bunch of different themes have popped up over the years; Adventure 1 had a quite neat one even if all you usually heard was the beggining notes. Oozes "oh god it is THIS asshole again" energy.)

[up][up][up][up][up] I loved that song as a kid and still do.

Whenever it blares in story scenes for Team Dark, it was always a great time.

And by that, he means multiple characters?
