==Summary==
Horizont-Al and Verti-Cal are two mysterious beings in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
They are a pair of extra-dimensional beings resembling short humans and dressed in mismatching suits of red, purple, and various other colors. They are the only human-like beings in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with Sonic's eyes, besides rare moments from Dr. Eggman. They can create laws over their zone; universe and as far back in their past, has spent their time recreating it. Their concept generates energy to blast their energy projectiles, have great but strange regenerable bodies, and are by themselves with no alliance to anyone or anything. What they are is a mystery. 
While generally unknown entities, they were a couple of tricksters keeping to themselves until Dr. Robotnik Prime’s Ultimate Annihilator blew up, devolving and deforming them into humongous, punk-like robots, that accentuate their traits. One tall on a wheel and the other a horizontal head. They blamed the other, not for their new forms, but for the destruction of their zone. While the zone reformed, their hatred of each other turned into war.
As their personal war continued, their attacks expanded to other zones, which enacted the Zone Cops to intervene and capture them. With their god-like abilities being power nulled, they were beaten in the Zone Cops’ prison by the other inmates. Al & Cal would find no allies during their time, until they met a fellow pin cushion, Scourge the Hedgehog.
