[edit] Biography
[edit] Evil Sonic
Evil Sonic is from Anti-Mobius, a polar opposite of Mobius in an alternate universe, where good is evil and evil is good; he was the leader of a ragtag group of punks called the Anti-Freedom Fighters, who overthrew Evil King Max by sending him to the Zone of Silence. Their nemesis is Dr. Julius Kintobor, a kindly country doctor who has developed advanced technology to try and clean up the mess that the Anti-Freedom Fighters cause. Evil Sonic has crossed paths with the "real" Sonic several times, occasionally impersonating him to get Sonic in trouble. This was easy enough to accomplish, because the only physical differences between the two were their choice of attire. With a lack of any menacing opponents in Anti-Mobius, the Anti-Freedom Fighters get easily bored, and eventually take it out on their failure of a leader, ejecting Evil Sonic from the group.
[edit] Custody and escape
Evil Sonic was recruited by Robo-Robotnik to help him with a scheme, namely to retrieve the pieces of his ultimate creation, the Giant Borg, but, due to the confusion of the various Robotniks, gave the machine to the Sonic Underground Robotnik. For his thanks, the SU Robotnik imprisoned him and prepared him for roboticization, only to be saved by Sonia and Manic while Sonic, Zonic and the Sonic Underground Sonic defeated Robotnik and obliterated the Giant Borg for good. Taken prisoner by Zonic, the Zone cop, he has escaped at least twice; the first time he was taken down on Mobius by Antoine (who thought him to be the real Sonic in disguise as part of a plan to impress Antoine's father), on the second time he made his way back to Anti-Mobius. There he runs into Patch who wants a piece of him; Evil Sonic beats him and concocts a plan to punish both versions of Antoine D'Coolette, by switching their places. He later did the same thing with himself and Sonic, but Sonic found his way back and fought Evil Sonic; Knuckles the Echidna's father, Locke intervenes, and used a spell to send Evil Sonic away. He then joined forces with Rouge the Bat, the two conspiring to steal the Master Emerald.
[edit] Transformation into Scourge
After an attempt to drain energy from the Master Emerald, Evil Sonic had a reaction which caused his fur to become green and his eyes to become ice blue (as opposed to Sonic's blue fur and green eyes). Realizing that he no longer resembled Sonic, Evil Sonic renamed himself Scourge. Scourge now wears a jacket with flames on the shoulders, and sunglasses with red frames. He also gained two scars (from Locke punching him in anger) across his chest. The scars resemble a roman numeral for 2 ("II"). Apparently "he is as brash and arrogant as Sonic" but he has no morals except his taste for mayhem.
After demonstrating his new powers against Locke (stopping short of killing him only when Rouge said she doesn't work with murderers), Scourge used the Master Emerald to enact Chaos Control, taking him and Rouge to Sonic. After a heated battle and being pursued by Shadow the Hedgehog, he and Rouge were teleported to a mysterious location by Dr. Finitevus, who convinced the pair to join forces with him, only for Rouge to later abandon Scourge and flee after sabotaging the Doctor's operation. Scourge himself reappeared alongside Sleuth Dogg, fighting Sonic until the pair were recalled by Finitevus.
According to the profile of him at the end of the comic, he is sadistic and has many of the same abilities as Sonic. Though he and Sonic have nothing but animosity for each other, they do occasionally find themselves working together, such as when the pair and Shadow battled the sub-boss Croctobot.
[edit] Abilities
Due to his status as one of Sonic's otherworldly counterparts, Evil Sonic commanded all of Sonic's speed.
Sonic's speed is also available to Scourge, who also commands a variety of other powers due to absorbing energy from the Master Emerald. Rather like Shadow, he is capable of performing Chaos Control, but requires a Chaos Emerald to do so. Like Sonic, he can also undergo a Super Transformation to become Super Scourge.In this form, he posseses abilities identical to those of Super Sonic.
