Fleetway dump, after his super form starts acting wack initially, he brings acting up in his default form, with heightens emotions and instincts. The emeralds don’t respond well to it at all when the feelings begin to become negative

He starts relying on the super form more and sometimes becomes reluctant to come out of it. In battle sometimes he forgets what he’s fighting for beyond the reason of protecting his friends (so he never hurts them directly).

Bonus alternate form of fleet that may happen when shit becomes a little more intense:

STC Sonic:

My cool down for tonight was this post bc man. It really made me laugh

Who and what is “Fleetway”?

The character most people know as “Fleetway” or “Fleetway Super Sonic” is both a powered-up form of Sonic and over time it became his own character in-universe . We’re not talking about the Sonic from the games, tv shows or even the IDW or Archie comics here. This particular Super Sonic and his Sonic only exist in the “Sonic the Comic” continuity , one of the most obscure Sonic media there is. It’s an old british comic that differs drastically from most of the lore the games and other Sonic media has established for the characters and their world.

A lot of things are completely different in this particular interpretation, but we’re not here to talk about that. What most people know about is the “Super Sonic” in this universe (even if they don’t know about where he came from), who is a completely different take from any other there is. 

It’s not only his own character , especially after he gets separated from Sonic, but also a villain, one of the main villains of the whole serie (until he wasn’t,  but that is another story). I won’t go into detail about the story of the character, since you can read most of it in any wiki, video or just by reading the original source material.

What’s the meaning of “Fleetway” and why put in front of “Super Sonic” (or any other character) then ?

The name “Fleetway” comes from the publisher of the original comic.

Egmont Fleetway editions were the ones who published the comic. 

(Aka. “Sonic the comic”. NOT the American one call “Sonic the hedgehog” that were published by Archie and now IDW.)

Like we established before this “Super Sonic” is his own character with personality and backstory attach to it. 

The same goes for all the characters in this continuity.

And fans wanted to create more content about them. (Via fanart, fanfics, etc.) Fleetway and/or STC became a nickname the fans themselves placed on the characters to differentiate them from the Archie ones and avoid confusion (it was probably easier that saying “the characters from the comic, but not that other comic. This other comic”.)

So “STC Super Sonic”, “Fleetway Super Sonic” or just “Fleetway” for short became the label that would keep this character separated from other interpretations there were of him. And the same applied to all the cast.

Also if you only write “Super Sonic” in any searcher is going to show things related to the Super Sonic from the games (or even Archie or IDW).

Another example would be, you need to search “Fleetway Amy”, if you are looking for that particular interpretation of the  character. But for “Tekno the Canary” you don’t need the “Fleetway” at the beginning, since she originated from the comic and doesn’t exist outside of it.

So, why there are people that call this “Super Sonic ” just “Fleetway” in-universe?

Super Sonic was always the character that got everyone’s attention and also got the  most fan-content out of all the characters in the comic by far.

Some people that didn’t know (or didn’t ask or even research) about the character,  where he came from and the meaning of the “Fleetway” part in his name and just saw the fan content, just assumed that was the name of said character, or the name of the transformation itself (like Dark Sonic or Hyper Sonic. And that’s why, if you look for “Fleetway Sonic” you’ll find a lot of STC Super Sonic instead of the STC Sonic) .

Also, we need to consider that back in the day it was really hard to get anything related to the original source material, since they were barely any scans around the internet and  unless you lived in the UK and bought your own copy of the comic. It was impossible to get it anywhere else.

So, these people started to call him “Fleetway” both in fandom and in-universe, and this created even more misconception for those who also didn’t know about the character.

We have  reached a point where a lot people in the general fandom (not in the STC one) don’t question the name “Fleetway” , but get confused when someone just call him by his canon name “Super Sonic”.

The summary of all of this is just:

Due to  the lack of access to the original source material and some assumptions  with the naming .

That would fit him nicely because talking names is part of a charm of Sonic’s franchise. (Just to think of it… It would be nice if Super decide to “Fleet by his Way” huh?)

and yes Super - can’t be his name. Everyone just call him that way. I never seen a panel where he spoke about himself like that. He is truly nameless and that’s why he had so much strange “names” during comic. (It’s make sence from scriprt’s view in a lot of ways but most of them just make him more Antagonistic to reader and it is exactly what toches you. (and push to empahy and sore when realizing of his situation strikes you))

@darkswap​ *tosses some scourge doodles at you*

I’m not an expert on STC Sonic, but my take on it is that he’s become extremely emotionally defensive. While his actions prove that he cares about his friends, it almost seems like the more he cares for somebody, the more dismissive and sassy he is with them. 

This actually makes a lot of sense, considering his upbringing; he had a very close father/son relationship with Dr. Kintobor, which ended traumatically– and ultimately, at his own hands. He’s been left with a deep fear of losing those he’s close to and feeling responsible for it, so he’s developed a prickly exterior (har har) to at least maintain the appearance of keeping them at arm’s length. Look at how he took Johnny Lightfoot’s death; even though he treated Johnny with his typical brusqueness in life, he took the loss VERY hard, forming a cornerstone of his outlook going forward.
