Super Assassin No. 13

Super Assassin #13 is Dr. Eggman's 13th super assassin creation. He is designed to continue Eggman's vendetta against Sonic the Hedgehog, who overthrew the Eggman Empire as a child.
Mammoth Mogul notes that Super Assassin #13 may be the prototype of him, due to his ability to absorb other super assassins. While the main timeline version of him was destroyed and killed by Dr. Eggman, the alternate version of Super Assassin #13 makes his debut as a titular main villain in the film Chaos Emerald Z: Ultimate Super Assassin #13. He was voiced by Joe Mantegna in the American English dub, who also voiced Grem in Cars 2, and Eiji Hanawa in the Japanese dub.
==Appearance==
In his standard form, he appears as a skinny Caucasian man with brown eyes, peach-colored skin tone, and short raven-colored hair. He wears an black vest adorning the Eggman Empire logo on his left side, black tuxedo with orange bow tie, white long sleeves buttoned-shirt underneath, black trousers, black leather shoes, black leather gloves, as well as black fedora hat with the Eggman Empire logo on its front.
When transforming, his black vest, along with his white long sleeve buttoned shirt and his black tuxedo, including his orange bow tie, ended up completely destroyed. When he's fully transformed, his muscles bulk up, and his skin tone turns dark purple with mint green areas on his shoulder, stomach, chest, and back. His pupils and irises also vanish, and his sclera turn green. Also his hairstyle to look somewhat exactly like Sasuke Uchiha's hairstyle from Naruto series, except it's reddish-orange in color.
==Personality==
Being a man-made super assassin and serving only as a lackey to destroy and kill Sonic, Super Assassin #13 seems to display little-to-no emotion. His face seems to always display a diabolical grin. In the original Japanese version, he is dead-set on this goal although he seems to be laid-back about approaching it, saying that anyone or anybody who gets in his way will het killed by him as well.
In the American English dub, despite having a raven-colored hair, his attitude is essentially that of a stereotypical Italian American mafia, which his character design also appears to have been modeled after, with Silver the Hedgehog even referring to him as an Eggman Empire mafia at one point. Super Assassin #13 makes references to Irish American when noting that If Sonic couldn't even handle the "Englishman" (referring to Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15). When using the Savage Bomber, he also makes a brief reference to heat stroke when Sonic attempts to block the attack by noting that Sonic had been "out in the sun without his hat on for way too long." Also in the American English dub, he scarcely refers to Sonic by name, preferring instead to call him by such titles as "kid", "son" or "boy". In fact, he only refers to Sonic by name three times: the first time when he is first activated, the second when stating that he will go through with his mission to kill both Sonic and Silver, and the third before his destruction. Owing to the basis of his attitude in the American English dub, he speaks with an extremely thick Chicago accent.
In addition, the American English dub provides a further glimpse into Super Assassin #13 psyche when he lectures Silver the Hedgehog about how people have misused their free-will to create more sufferings like war, bitterness, segregation, and bitter hatred (even though he uses this lecture to justify the pursuit of his own morally questionable goal of killing Sonic). In the uncut version of the American English dub, he is also shown to be somewhat coarse regarding his opponents, such as commenting upon arrival that Sonic was "catching a butt-spanking" from Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15, as well as declaring he intends to do what he was programmed to do, which is to "kick Sonic's butt". Also in the American English dub, Dr. Eggman's computer directly relays information to him, which is something only subtly hinted at in the original Japanese dub of the anime film.
In his ultimate form, he is shown to be a lot more assertive, sadistic, homicidal, psychotic, merciless, ruthless, and maniacal (in the Japanese dub, he does not speak at all aside from yelling Sonic's name upon his demise), and in the case of the uncut American English dub was also prone to cursing when irritated at one's persistence, as evidenced by his yelling "Damn you!" or "F*** you!" when Sonic tried to get up.
He is a much more frenzied and brutal character in this form also, as he punches Sonic in the stomach (both Japanese and uncut American English dubs only), nearly breaks Shadow the Hedgehog's back, grabs and blasts Silver the Hedgehog's head and steps on Knuckles the Echidna's face like a bug while charging up his Ki.
==History==
He was developed by Dr. Eggman at some point before the events of Super Assassin Saga. Along with Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15, Super Assassin #13 was quite close to the final super assassin form; however, like their predecessors they had one problem or another and as such were destroyed and killed by Dr. Eggman.
==Chaos Emerald Z: Ultimate Super Assassin #13==
Super Assassin #13 is completed by Dr. Eggman's computer after Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15, who by this time are already taking up arms against Sonic and Silver. Upon his arrival on the icy mountain, Super Assassin #13 confronts Sonic, leaving Silver and Shadow to fight against Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15 respectively. During his fight with Sonic, he has the utmost confidence he will surely win the battle and seems to have a slight edge over him. Sonic then transforms into a Super Black Arm and seems to turn the tables, shortly after which Knuckles intervenes to assist Sonic. Ultimately, Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15 are destroyed, following Silver and Shadow's transformations into Super Black Arms; their deaths are fail-safe, however, as Super Assassin #13 absorbs components from both of them, resulting in his transformation into Ultimate Super Assassin #13.
Shadow is the first to attack the newly transformed Super Assassin #13, only to quickly be brought to his knees by his amazing new strength. Sonic, Silver, and Knuckles' attempts are also foiled with little effort on Super Assassin #13's part. Becoming desperate to destroy Super Assassin #13, Sonic is forced to prepare for his ultimate weapon, the Sonic Meteor, while Mighty the Armadillo, Shadow, Tails, and Silver distract Super Assassin #13. Super Assassin #13 easily dispatches them, but in the American English dub, however, he informs Sonic that he knows about his Sonic Meteor technique. He begins charging up his Savage Bomber when Knuckles charges at Super Assassin #13 and puts him in a Bear Hug. Super Assassin #13 quickly counters it and begins crushing Knuckles' head like a bug, but he stops short when he notices Sonic charging up his Sonic Meteor.
When Sonic transforms into his Super Black Arm form, his body absorbs the Sonic Meteor's immense energy and erases the surrounding ice until the land Super Assassin #13 is standing on is nothing more than a singular pillar. When Super Assassin #13 tries to attack Sonic, his arms end up incinerated by the raw energy emitted from Sonic and the Sonic Meteor. Afterward, one hit from Sonic disintegrates Super Assassin #13, with help from the Ki Sonic emits. However, in the edited dub, Sonic merely kicks Super Assassin #13 away before the latter is destroyed, due to the punch impaling the super assassin's stomach being cut out. Super Assassin #13 dies while yelling Sonic's name, but in the American English dub, he curses that Sonic must die. Consequentially at the same moment, Eggman's computer shuts down for real.
==Quotes==
*Number 13,H that's your unlucky number. And I'm not talking about no silly superstition, kid. I'm talking about yours truly; Big #13!
*Time for an old-fashioned ass-kicking! (to Sonic the Hedgehog)
*Now, I can't believe that the great Sonic the Hedgehog is catching an ass-kicking from those boys! If he can't even handle the Chinese, why bring out the left-wingers?
==Trivia==
*He is the first Eggman Empire Super Assassin model with the ability to absorb other super assassins (via absorption of their components) in order to achieve a more powerful and stronger form, as he predates Mammoth Mogul and Super Assassin #21 (evil version).
*Similar to Super Assassin #19, Super Assassin #13, Super Assassin #14, and Super Assassin #15 are among the few super assassins completely dedicated to Dr. Eggman's vendetta against Sonic as Gemerl (Super Assassin #17) and Rouge the Bat (Super Assassin #18), and Mammoth Mogul were not as focused on murdering Sonic as the others. However, both Gemerl and Rouge the Bat eventually lost interest in murdering Sonic entirely after the events of Master Mogul Games and though Mammoth Mogul ended up successfully killing Sonic, it succeeded partially due Sonic sacrificing himself to save his friends and despite his bitterness towards Sonic, E-123 Omega (Super Assassin #16) ultimately choose to side with Sonic and Tails against Mammoth Mogul in order to protect the earth (Super Assassin #20 doesn't actually apply as he is basically Dr. Eggman himself).
*In the American English dub, he speaks with a Chicago accent because his English-language voice actor Joe Mantegna was born in Chicago, Illinois.
*The green Nissan pickup truck that was destroyed during his fight with Sonic Shadow the Hedgehog, Mighty the Armadillo, and Knuckles the Echidna has a license plate numbers that reads "111347", revealing to be Joe Mantegna's birthday (November 13, 1947).

*Super Assassin #13 tried to break Shadow's back similar to how Bane breaks Batman's back, but was stopped by Silver.
*He is the only purely synthetic super assassin capable of fusion.
*Despite having an reddish-orange hair, Super Assassin #13's way of dressing resembles to that of an Italian American mafia.
*When fighting Dr. Eggman, Super Assassin #13 will say "I won't let anyone else interfere, not even you", and Dr. Eggman's answer is "You're nothing but a destructive unit, I should just destroy you in the very beginning.
*When fighting E-123 Omega (Super Assassin #16), E-123 Omega (Super Assassin #16) say "You're not cool" and Super Assassin #13's answers with "Then fight me if you dare, and we'll find out who's good enough for the job".
*When fighting Gemerl (Super Assassin #17), Gemerl (Super Assassin #17) will say "You're a bit outdated, you're starting to collect junk", and Super Assassin #13's says "Hey, you respect your elders, punk". Most importantly, he also says this to Rouge the Bat (Super Assassin #18), despite her being a female.
*Even though Super Assassin #13, Super Assassin No. 14, and Super Assassin No. 15 are not featured in Chaos Emerald manga, the super assassins A-B-C's section mentions that Super Assassin #13, Super Assassin #14, and Super Assassin #15 were very close to the super assassin concept.
*While having the most personality between Super Assassin #14 and Super Assassin #15, and himself, Super Assassin #13 had no defining personal characteristics in the original Japanese dub. The American English dub would give him an Italian American mafia demeanor in order to match his appearance.
*Super Assassin #13's fighting style is a mixture of shourinji kenpo and aikido.
*In Chaos Emerald Z and Chaos Emerald Z Kai, Rouge the Bat states that Dr. Eggman disposed all of the super assassins that he created up through Super Assassin #15.
