#evil sonic

I don’t have a name for him, but this is my interpretation of Sonic as a villain. Here’s a hint, imagine if you noticed it, but not through his personality.

I’ve seen many interpretations of Sonic as a villain and instead of having him be a Sonic but on a bad day like Scourge. Sonic but dark and more violent like in Sonic X. Or Sonic but insane like Fleetway or Chaos Sonic, let’s have something different.

Have you ever noticed how Sonic can always manipulate a situation? He does it a bunch when he fights or interacts with people. It’s almost never in a negative way, but it does come across as a bit prideful and egotistical. Usually everything ends up going his way or has to go his way.

I believe if Sonic was ever to be a villain, he’d be a master manipulator. Funnily enough Sonic barely ever lies about things in most continuities, but at the same time is able to trick people or bend things to his will whenever he needs to. I’d like to think a villainous Sonic would be perceived as a good guy. Like standing up for Tails, but instead of moving on and letting Tails join him, Sonic manipulates Tails into beating up the bullies who bullied him.

He’d make Amy feel as if she doesn’t need to fend for herself and tell her to rely on him whenever she needs help. Or tell Knuckles to never trust anyone or ends up not inspiring him, so Knuckles stays antagonistic and untrusting. He’d inspire people to be the worst versions of themselves. Therefore creating a toxic atmosphere. Ideas like that.

This Sonic would be one who’d not care about being famous or rule over anything like a dictator. He’s like normal Sonic in a sense that he goes by his own rules, but it’d be for the worst intentions. He also takes advantage that he’s fast and uses his speed as a weapon. Destroying homes, pulling pranks, stealing, messing up the ecosystem, and all that jazz. He might save the world if it meant he didn’t have to die. But he doesn’t care if some Egg-shaped scientist is destroying the world. As long as he’s not bothering Sonic, why should he care? If he does go against Eggman or any other villains, he’d most likely kill them on the spot. Not out of heroism, but just out of spite. He doesn’t like being bothered.

When he says he doesn’t mind being the bad guy, he means it literally. He’d lack the emotional depth Sonic has and be a caricature of the “Cool guy being a jerk” trope. He doesn’t care if he’s seen as evil or not. He just likes causing mischief. No tragic backstory for him. Sonic’s the way he is because he chooses to be. That includes when he’s the bad guy.

He could act like a good guy in front of a crowd, but in reality, he’s causing the issues people believe he’s saved them from. All you gotta do with an evil version of him is turn his best/worst attributes of his personality and crank them to 100. He doesn’t have to be wild and crazy about it. He’d be just as chill and laid back as normal Sonic. Except he enjoys the chaos around him. Unlike other evil interpretations he’s the most similar to normal Sonic. And it makes things so much worse when he causes problems.

I'm on a roll with these two punks. 📷💥

This is a quick summary of their backstory. Let me know if y'all like it and I might do a more flesh-out version.

Sonic and Shadow gave their lives to protect the planet. After their deaths, Team Sonic and Team Dark, blinded by their grief didn't notice that G.U.N had taken both the hero's bodies along with the chaos emeralds into their custody. After looking for the remedies of the heroes for days they decided there must not be any remains left and that the chaos emeralds must have scattered themselves somewhere. Meanwhile at G.U.N, a team of scientists tries to revive the two hedgehogs using the chaos emeralds. After inserting a tampered-with chaos emerald in each hedgehog (red chaos emerald in shadow; blue chaos emerald in sonic) through their backs the corrupted chaos energy infected them.

The two hedgehogs were revived but had little to no memory of their previous life. G.U.N used the two as secret weapons, using them for only the most dangerous and gory of missions. After being sent out on multiple assassination missions, this gave the two former heroes a twisted version of right or wrong. After a year of being G.U.Ns secret lap dogs the two hedgehogs went rogue enforcing their new look on right and wrong. Keeping the names G.U.N gave them, they were no longer Sonic and Shadow; they are Silere and Stygian.
