If what I looked up real quick is right, the rings can be used to make duplicates of themselves. John probably gave Silver a duplicate ring and kept his real one with himself.
So I'm a little behind but this Mimic character can shapeshift. I got that part. How is he evading/defending against Silver? I thought Silver's TK was kind of a Game-Breaker.
EDIT - Also, I know Whisper's name is self-evident with her speech style, but the dashed-lines confuse me and it's hard for me to create an internal voice for her. Is she whispering really low all the time nad people can still hear her? Why? And for that matter, who do you think would voice her if she were voiced?
I keep trying to imagine a constantly whispering person and it doesn't match up with what's happening when she's on-screen. Like everybody can hear her even though she's whispering. I don't think a single character has complained or asked her to speak up.

Well Egg man would likely shotgun up the heniousness standard for starters
The restoration would likely be folded into the freedom fighters in some (maybe a rebrand of the former into the latter following Forces)
Scourge's existence (bar legal shenanigans) would likely accelerate Surge's face turn arc.
Not sure how Mina, Lanolin and a few others would be affected.

She is speaking lowly not whispering that means she is speaking low, if they were italic then she would be whispering, also I remember sharing here a what if Tangle, Whisper n Belle were part of Fleetway
Reminder that Lanolin started as Adam Bryce's self insert OC until she evolved so most definitely the same as she is rn but with maybe Fiona or some other slimeball archie villain making her and she would definitely turn bad unlike in IDW.

He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Lanolin strikes me as a character who would make a decent Good Counterpart to Geoffrey St. John (one of the few Archie characters I still know a decent amount about).
I’m not sure Fleetway is too compatible with ID/ more game-themed setting, so it’s hard for me to think of how they might match up. Archie barely is, and even then only because Flynn tried to a fit a few modified and Lighter and Softer Archie-isms into it.
STC does have some advantages such as Mobius being full of game Zones which contains cities and villages. The Echidnas being based on the people of ancient South America in the comics and the games. An ancient race of aliens responsible for giant abandoned robots, the Chaos Emeralds, Chaos. The bigger problems is the change in Knuckles from 16 years old to 8000+ years old, the fact that Chaotix had Nack as a member, the fact that Sally Acorn is just a regular Mobium, an indestructible metal called Megatel that Sonic can't damage, Sonic's super powered evil side of Super Sonic that wants to destroy everything and is way smarter than he looks.
"May your heart be your guiding key"Archie also presents its own issues.
The large one is that being a spinoff/adaptation of SATAM was its original concept. More to the point, the prime issue is that Sonic here is portrayed as more knight than knight errant, being loyal to a monarchistic regime that would be at odds to his usual characterization of being a free spirit (the closest he would even get to kingdom was Black Knight and he basically pulled a cincinatus as soon as Melina was defeated and didn't do anything policy or government wise, and of course 06 but that had its own issues)
The second issue is Eggman. Archie's incarnations of the "good" doctor had pulled off stuff on par with the metal virus on the regular, including at least one attempted genocide (the Egg Grapes) and mass enslavement (you know the method). That is something that SEGA never depicts Eggman as (the aforementioned metal Virus is more Flynn's doing than SEGA okayed but wouldn't write themselves. Oh and it was repurposed from a scrapped Archie plot)
The worldbuilding with the echidnas is the last incongruity. Though it is technically easier to bridge (perhaps Finitvus knew of the Ancients and found their tech to use?), it would still open up several holes, even before the obvious issue with Penders.
It can still work, but several concepts and characters would have to be liberally reimagined to fit with the games. Sally would need to be a princess in name only the Freedom Fighters would need to be well, not freedom fighters (a byword for "terrorist" besides, but also specifically a militia focused on freeing their countrymen from occupiers, something Eggman hasn't permanently succeeded at being yet), but still a group that opposes Eggman. The Echidnas' relationship to the chaos, Chaos, and the Anceients needs to be fleshed out, and villains like Nagus, Enerjak, and Mammoth Mogul also need to fit into the picture somehow.

Even then the Echidnas had advanced technology to fight the Drakons such as Guardian Robots. Which Dr Zachary would hack 8000 years later to use against Knuckles since he knows a lot about the Island secrets before Knuckles would use them to protect the Floating Island and the Seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic would help the past Knuckles capture a Drakon in the past who would become Chaos who killed Johnny Lightfoot and tried to transform the world into his own image. Sonic also travelled back in time to turn his mentor Doctor Ovi Kintobor into the pure evil Doctor Ivo Robotnik.
It is probably impossible to include everything from Sonic The Comic since there were stories that weren't part of the Sonic Universe like Streets of Rage, Kid Chameleon, Decap Attack Shinobi, Ecco and more.
"May your heart be your guiding key"
3x
I wrote a what if the freedom fighters were reintroduced and in it the IDW/Game Sally would be daughter of a businessman tycoon think like how Adrien Agreste is on Miraculous. Could still be called princess in name only.
Also, my theory on why Sonic was loyal to the monarchy of Acorn was because he was simping for Sally he even admits it to Tails who's reason to being pissed off at Sonic wasn’t him trying to prevent Civil War but the fox boy still feeling Cuckold pains for his so-called "big brother" going out with his crush over the latter's breakup with Sally.
He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Sonic The Comic Robotnik would use Starline as an organic battery for a badnik so that he could get some use out of Starline after the betrayal.
Grimer is a lot more dangerous when he thinks that Robotnik is dead, he easily captured and defeated Sonic with a Knuckles Metallix, he scanned Sonic's mind to find out what happened to Robotnik, he then had Sonic returned to the alley where he was fighting Metallix with some fake Metallix wreckage so Sonic would think he had won, Grimer was meant to be in a prison cell but he had taken over the prison with no one outside any the wiser. He also managed to turn almost the whole planet of Mobius against Sonic in Sonic The Comic Online, the list of people still believing in Sonic could probably be counted on one hand (Tails, Cream and I can't think of any others) even Amy hated him and tried to capture him.
"May your heart be your guiding key"Huh.
Did that version of Sonic ever clear his name. I heard that every hated him at one point, but it's not made clear if he ever cleared things up.
One Strip! One Strip!I think so, but I forget how.
Anyway back to IDW, I wonder what the next arc will be.

Considering the Metal virus arc, I'd a feeling that Grimer might had a good opportunity.
A hypothetical ultimate universe could easily have a group of master manipulators (Mogul, Grimer, Clutch, maybe Mimic) exploit the Sonic/Eggman conflict and its side effects for their own ends. And would likely have further inroads with other antagonists.
- Lets say such a coalition got invaded when the Iron Dominaon invaded Knothole. They could see the anti-Nicole sentiment rise up and use it for their own ends. Likely trying to cement Mina Mongoose into a heel turn upon noticing how effective she was in spreading that message.
- Another possible catastrophe to exploit would be the Dark Gaia thing. It would even be as simple as telling half-truths pinning Sonic for the literal earth shattering event and make him a pariah.
- Starline would also likely be a useful asset to them as they would work to plant seeds of doubt in the paltypus's mind about his idol's competence.
- not to mention the sabotage potential via insider agents. Mogul was established to be able to make Tails a machurian agent if he wanted to (as well as Mina if they have use of her and Mighty if they want to undermine the Chaotix specifially), Clutch has Clean Sweep and by extension some soft power. Mimic is ofc a shapeshifter and spy, and if they managed to get their hands on Surge and Kit after Starline's defeat.
This is all hypotheticals, the Vandal Savage wannabe, and the slimeball CEO would likely have conflicting agenda and mutual distrust with each other. Making it just as likely any alliance would fall apart like a house of cards under the Gambit Pileup. Not to mention that they were already bested by Sonic at least once.
Frontiers or post-Frontiers setup would be the perpetual answer until it actually happens (or confirms that it only takes place in a bubble of time that ends before that game)

A story that is taking place at the same time as the four members of Team Sonic and Robotnik are at the Koco's islands. Letting other characters like Team Dark and Black Doom taking the role of major characters.
Grimer did create a synthetically-engineered shape-shifting lifeform called Metamorphia, the Sonic Metallixes, Knuckles Metallix, a shape-shifting Neo Metallix he used to frame Sonic along with letting the world know about Sonic's darker actions, he helped Robotnik create a failed clone of Sonic that aged to fast. Grimer pretend to switch sides to the Drakons which would let the Drakons get past Knuckles and the Guardian Robots then Grimer activated a device he had hidden to teleport the Drakons back and Robotnik to the Floating Island where Robotnik would absorb the powers of the Seven Chaos Emeralds and become a reality warping god.

"May your heart be your guiding key"Back on IDW. Glad to see now the finished mime child mask, it’s definitely not Kit. Whomever it is they’re dangerous for sure
He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Posted this on the anti-complaining thread too, but Characters.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW Diamond Cutters is seeing a lot of anti-Lanolin posts again, with one post
under Disproportionate Retribution being deleted by someone else and readded
by the original poster under Kick the Dog.
I am not even following the comic that closely but I am so tired of arguments around this character.

The Protomen enhanced my life.Fix the entries, tell the poster to come to the forum or discussion page in order to discuss placement before making obviously-controversial changes like that, and take it to Ask The Tropers if they refuse.
I’m starting to think that page needs to get locked.
