Power Rings (Archie Comics)

==Summary==
Power Rings, also called Magic Rings, are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. 
They are powerful, golden bands of energy given form through science. Power Rings are natural by-products of Chaos Emeralds, a.k.a. Chaos Energy. They were artificially created by the brilliant Overlander scientist Nate Morgan, as a clean alternative to fossil fuels to protect Mobius' environment. While they have been used by the verse by various groups such as the Freedom Fighter, Mammoth Mogul, Naugus and Dr. Eggman Robotnik, they are sought after secondly between their Emerald superiors.
The Sonic the Hedgehog issue #66 Power Rings contain pale in-comparison to the Sonic Quest - The Death Egg Saga issue #2 after all.
After his banishment from his Overlander home city when his original tests failed, Nate was aided in his research by the Kingdom of Acorn successfully in their creation. The Power Rings were mass produced to be used by the Kingdom for its people and the city of Mobotropolis entered a new Golden Age as the Power Rings had brought them out of the medieval ages.
Since then, Power Rings have been used not only as power supplies for technology, but also as a means to empowering certain individuals, bestowing knowledge and even granting wishes.
