Super forms /// Chaos energy
I have this one theory that every mobian has some amount of chaos energy within them, characters with a higher level of it can develop special powers and the ability to become super while mobians with the energy level higher then most but not enough to transform are gifted with other smaller abilities
So instead of the “only male hedgehogs can have a super form” rule it would be “only mobians with a high chaos energy affinity can transform” since limiting it only for the gender of a certain species is stupid, but I also know they can’t give it away freely because it would become too common and less special
So going off of it, let’s look at the characters that have super forms
Shadow is literally overflowing with chaos energy and has to wear inhibitor rings to limit it, Sonic is naturally gifted and has a bond with the emeralds, Silver has mind powers so assuming they developed BECAUSE of his high chaos energy would also check out with this theory, same goes with Blaze’s powers (and Sonic’s speed) plus her being the guardian of the sol emeralds and having a strong bond with them, idk much about Trip but seeing as her super form is a dragon she probably also has a lot of chaos energy stored in her
As for characters like Amy and Knuckles who have a higher amount of chaos energy then most but not enough to transform, are gifted with an ability similiar to a radar, with Knuckles being the guardian of the M.E and having a strong bond with it he can sense it and it’s shards, as well as chaos controls, chaos emeralds, sol emeralds, and fake emeralds
/// Don’t wanna get too deep into his abilities because someone already made a post about that and I don’t wanna copy/steal their work, I reblogged it tho so you can read it for yourself, their user is @aphantimes in case you can’t find it ///
and Amy having her “girlish intuition” or a “Sonic radar” as she calls it, can sense other people’s aura (or chaos signatures) this is also how she confuses the other hedgehogs, she goes off of aura and since these 3 all have a high amount of chaos energy in them they probably „feel” the same/very similiar to her
/// Essentially what I’m trying to say is that only characters with powers can access the super forms
Characters with high chaos energy that don’t have powers are granted some sort of a sixth sense ///
I don’t see Amy’s and Knuckles’s strength as power, rather it’s just something they achieved through hard training
As for Espio’s invisibility, that just comes with his species like real life’s chameleons camouflage, Vector’s fire breathing hasn’t been brought up outside of Sonic Heroes and Sonic X so idk if he still can do it but he has his powerful scream that is still being used in the IDW comics and to that I say he’s just built different
Also, I’m not sure if that means that Surge and Kit could technically have a super form since idk if their powers are artificial or not (and yeah I know that Shadow is man made but they used chaos drives to create him so his powers developed on their own)
I know most Sonic fans would want other characters to have super forms but for me it makes perfect sense why they are limited for those specific few
Sorry if this rant is not coherent enough it’s really hard for me to write my thoughts 😭😭
(Btw I just realized that the colors of the emeralds are the same as the chakra colors, except the white one, it would be fun if they were perfectly aligned tho)
