Charmy Bee (Archie Comics)/Synopsis

==History==
===Pre-Super Genesis Wave===
====Running away from Home====
Charmy flew to Angel Island years ago, who claimed to be in search of new types of flowers, when in reality, he was trying to escape from his home. Feeling pressured by his status as prince, Charmy lashed out prior to a ceremony and ran away from his family. One of his friends Saffron tried to speak with him about his problems, but he just ignored her, deciding to leave home for a while. Before he left, he ran into his childhood best friend Mello and told him he was running away to Angel Island and requested to not tell anyone of his location. Once on the island, Charmy decided there was no harm in making new friends and soon encountered Mighty the Armadillo. He eventually made his home in the region that was known as Strawberry Fields.
====Joining the Chaotix====
Eventually, Charmy joined the Chaotix when he and the others helped Knuckles save the Knothole Freedom Fighters from an evil scheme from Dr. Robotnik. As a member of the team, he then participated in subsequent battles with Enerjak, the Dark Legion, the Fearsome Foursome, and Mammoth Mogul. However, during a visit from Mello to the Happy Land Park, they were both poisoned after eating hot dogs covered in Happy Sauce. Charmy survived, but unfortunately, Mello was not so lucky.
It was Mello's passing that made Charmy decide to return to his original home. After taking down the criminals responsible for the "Happy Sauce" incident, he reunited with his family and informed Mello's parents of his death. He, Saffron and others participated in the funeral before he bid farewell to his former teammates.
Having returned home, Charmy accepted his role as prince and allowed his relationship with Saffron to flourish. For a while, life was peaceful and quiet for the young, fun-loving Charmy and his newly betrothed, but eventually the past caught up with Charmy yet again when Knuckles came back into his life. Charmy and Saffron both witnessed Knuckles materialize before them as Chaos Knuckles, as the echidna was undergoing a number of mutations meant to turn him into a living Chaos Emerald and had no one else to turn to. Before Knuckles could explain what was happening to himself, they were approached by Nack the Weasel, who got Knuckles to walk away with him under the threat of his sister sniping both Charmy and Saffron.
They then both decided to follow soon after and found Knuckles in the custody of the Albion Security Team and being painfully subjected to the Chaos energy draining effects of Dr. Finitevus' Chaos Siphon Suit. Hoping to save his old friend and teammates, Charmy and Saffron shrank down to flight mode and flew in to disrupt the process; however, when Saffron hit a button in hope of stopping the process, it instead reversed the flow and caused everything to malfunction and go haywire. After an incredible burst of energy, it was revealed that Chaos Knuckles' mutation had been accelerated, allowing him to escape. Charmy would have no idea that the actions he and Saffron took that day would also lead to the horrible transformation of Dr. Finitevus into a genocidal sociopath with the aim of nothing less than ending all life on Mobius, and eventually, the world itself.
Things went back to status quo for a while longer, but tragedy struck their colony a year later, after Sonic the Hedgehog was presumed to have died following the Xorda's attack on Mobius. The ever-increasing Eggman Empire sent an army of Egg Pawns to capture the citizens of Golden Hive Colony. Few managed to escape aside from Charmy and Saffron. Most were captured and sent into Egg Grape Chambers with the remaining survivors scattered. The two, weakened and struggling, made their way to the Kingdom of Acorn to inform them of the colony's destruction. Shortly afterward they both joined Knuckles and the Chaotix in their attack on Angel Island to free Knuckles' father, eager to get back at Robotnik in some way.
Over a year later, Charmy was captured, along with almost all the kingdom's population, during the attack on Knothole that resulted in the city's destruction. This would also result in all of Charmy's family being killed. While taunting the hostages, Eggman singled out Charmy, offhandedly remarking about he had destroyed the bee's home. Charmy remained defiant as Eggman selected his Egg Grape Chamber for first activation. Sonic freed Charmy before it was on for long, and after everyone had been freed, Dr. Quack examined him. While he showed no physical damage, Charmy's mind appeared somewhat scattered, and Quack suspected some memory loss. Tearfully, Saffron asked if Charmy remembered who she was, and he happily embraced her, saying he did.
When Dimitri arrived in New Mobotropolis to speak with the Acorn Council, Charmy spied on them to relay their decision concerning Enerjak to Julie-Su, and was later involved in the brief battle with Enerjak in New Mobotropolis. Afterwards, he helped with the construction of the bridge to the new island where the Master Emerald would soon take residence at that had been created as a result of Enerjak battling Sonic. Later, when Knuckles, Charmy and Archimedes sat around the Master Emerald, Charmy made a remark that, in part, helped Knuckles get over some of his anger over the Enerjak situation.
Later, Charmy and the rest of the Chaotix launched an assault on New Megaopolis to take out the Dark Egg Legion and destroy one of Dr. Eggman's communications relays. He, along with Saffron and Ray, were responsible for setting explosives while the rest of the team attempted to kept the Legion busy.
Days later, after the Suppression Squad were returned to Moebius, Charmy and the rest of the Chaotix aided the Knothole Freedom Fighters in their assault against the crumbling Eggman Empire. First flanking the Dark Egg Legion, Charmy, Saffron and Ray later played a key role in the fight against the Egg Phoenix. While Sonic distracted Eggman, the three placed Tails' Neutralizing Mines onto the ship's hull. Charmy said it was like "planting flowers", and Saffron dryly told him to hurry up. Once the mines were placed, Tails was able to disable the Egg Phoenix and force it to crash. Later, during the fight in the Eggdome, Charmy, with the help of Saffron and Ray, managed to save Espio and Mighty, who were under attacked and pinned before the trio intervened. After Mighty and Bunnie finished beating down the barricade the Dark Egg Legion set up, Charmy and the two teams entered to find Eggman defeated, and they all returned to New Mobotropolis to celebrate.
Afterwards, Charmy and Saffron went to look for more of their people, and were thus absent as Angel Island came under attack by the Downunda chapter of the Dark Egg Legion and Dr. Finitevus. Later, they rejoined the other Chaotix on Angel Island as Espio returned to join his old comrades, having left them on orders from the evil Iron Dominion, who had gained the loyalty of Espio's people, Shinobi Clan of the Dragon Kingdom. After hearing of Espio's mission to observe Knuckles and Vector's Downunda origins, Charmy sought to be included. Espio attempted to jog his lost memories by revealing that Charmy had been a prince of the destroyed Golden Hive Colony, and that Eggman had nearly erased his mind. Unfortunately, that very incident left Charmy unable to recall the truth of Espio's words, which he blew off in disbelief.
Following the effects of Operation: Clean Sweep, Knuckles saw Charmy flying erratically and asked him if he was all right. The Bee replied that he had experienced a reality where he, Vector, and Espio were detectives, with their own office and everything. This same trio later took leave of their comrades- Espio promising to keep Charmy safe- to search for their missing friends, Mighty and Ray. Going on the last letter that the pair had sent via a Warp Ring, which had returned to Angel Island some time previously, the group went to Mercia. Upon arriving, they ran afoul of the Mercia Dark Egg Legion, but received assistance from the Mercian Freedom Fighters. After introducing themselves, the two teams went to the Freedom Fighter base known as Hideaway. The irrepressible Charmy ended up joining in as the tale of Mighty and Ray's recent time in Mercia was told in song by Alan Quail. When Espio made the point of stating that his ninjutsu didn't allow him to do everything, Charmy insisted that it should, and went into a ninja pose. With the narrative over, he and his teammates joined forces with the Freedom Fighters to launch a daring rescue mission, in which they intended to free Grandmaster Mordred Hood's prisoners and learn what had become of the missing Mighty and Ray. As they went into Snottingham Castle, unb that the Legion was aware of their intrusion and planning an ambush.
Spring-loaded bars appeared to bar the paths of the heroes, defying even Vector's great strength. However, Charmy-his small size proving an advantage-was able to squeeze through the bars and flip manual release switches. After loaning the Freedom Fighters their Warp Ring, he and the other Chaotix set off to find the Eggnet terminal in the castle, where Mighty would most likely have gone to learn about his sister. Charmy was actually the one to discover it, knocking out the guards and joining Vector in defending the chamber while Espio accessed the computer. He and Vector then went to help the Freedom Fighters deal with Hood and subsequently escape the castle. Using the Warp Ring, the two teams-along with the freed Legion prisoners-returned to Hideaway, where they celebrated their victory.
The next day, Charmy and his two friends warped to Sand Blast City to continue their search, appearing some distance away from the city due to Espio's suspicions regarding the local Sand-Blasters group. Their caution availed them little, as the Sand-Blasters appeared and demanded to know the reason for their presence. After a failed attempt at peaceful negotiation, the two teams began fighting, Charmy skillfully landing a punch on Jolt the Roadrunner. Unfortunately, he was caught in a net by Avery the Bear, and the distraction it caused Espio led to his capture as well. The trio were then led into the city, chained and netted, with Vector complaining about their failure against the renegade Freedom Fighters after all the enemies they had previously fought. Charmy, in a not so sensitive attempt to comfort his friend, concluded that Vector was defeated so often that nobody would care, annoying the Crocodile. The trio were then surprised to find that Mighty and Ray-aliases "Flex" and "Jitters"-were new recruits to the Sand-Blasters. After a rather harsh acknowledgement from Mighty, the three friends were turned over to their two teammates, supposedly to be taught the "pecking order" of the Sand-Blasters. Fortunately, the two quickly revealed that they had joined the Sand-Blasters under false identities in order to get a better idea of the situation. Relieved that his friends hadn't truly sunk to the level of the Sand-Blasters, Charmy remained with his teammates and Ray- offering encouragement to the younger Chaotix flyer- while Mighty went to meet with Beauregard Rabbot, Grandmaster of the Great Desert Dark Egg Legion, and also Bunnie's uncle as well. The next day, they learned that Mighty had apparently been captured, and were brought along by on a prisoner exchange mission-which the underhanded rabbit then intended to use as an opportunity to eliminate the Grandmaster.
Charmy and his teammates quickly came up with a plan to get back both Mighty and Matilda and use the battle between the Legion and the Sand-Blasters as cover for their escape. Unfortunately, their cover was blown in the midst of the battle, and they were forced to engage the Sand-Blasters. Charmy noticed Ray as the Flying Squirrel took off to rescue Mighty, and then accompanied his teammates in stopping their friend from harming the Sand-Blasters after his sister Matilda was hurt. Soon afterwards, Charmy and the others learned that Matilda would have to stay with the Legion to recover for a time, but supported Mighty as they used the Warp Ring to return home. A most unpleasant surprise awaited them: Saffron and Julie-Su had been abducted in their absence by Thrash the Tasmanian Devil, who had sent them and all the Echidnas who had been in Albion through a Warp Ring of his own. The group found Knuckles alone on Shrine Island, and the Guardian broke down in response to their questions about their missing teammates.
Like the rest of Mobius and the alternate reality of Earth 20XX, Charmy was caught up in the effects of the second Genesis Wave. He, once again (the first time was the events of Operation: Clean Sweep reality), found himself as a detective working alongside Espio and Vector, searching for the missing Knuckles, Tails, and Amy at the command of Sonic. An impatient Charmy left his teammates in search of ice cream, only to be ambushed and captured by the Copy Robot, an agent of Eggman and Dr. Wily. Transformed into the villainous Charmy Man, he joined in an attack by the eight Roboticized Masters against Sonic's team of heroes, including new ally Mega Man. Charmy Man was defeated using Vector Man's Acoustic Blaster- which Mega Man had copied- and then restored to normal by Mega Man's modified Mega Buster. Quickly befriending their new allies, notably Mega Man's dog, Rush, Charmy and his teammates then agreed to take off in search of Mega Man's brother Proto Man.
Charmy and his friends quickly caught up to Proto Man, who found the trio somewhat of an annoyance. They soon arrived at a large monument to Eggman and Wily in the Skull Egg Zone, where their Wily Egg fortress floated to a stop above a teleporter pad that had previously been used to load it. Much to their chagrin, the Chaotix couldn't crack its security code, but remained there as their various allies gathered to join them. A battle soon erupted between the heroes and the doctors' army of Robot Masters, during which Charmy assisted Vector and was menaced by Hornet Man. Undaunted, he continued to fight, taking on Plug Man before being drive into a group with his friends and allies and surrounded. Luckily, help arrived in the form of the Light Robot Masters, and the bolstered heroes continued to fight until the Super Genesis Wave washed over them all. The wave's effects were subsequently undone by Super Sonic, but his restoration of Mobius was disrupted by Eggman with grave consequences, which would eventually lead and transform into the new rewritten world of the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline.
