==Summary==
Vector the Crocodile is a recurring character in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and the head of the Chaotix Detective Agency. Juxtaposed to Charmy's hyperactive attitude and Espio's silent stoicism, Vector is highly opportunistic and straight to business. He's not one to deny making a quick buck for his detective agency alongside his two partners. But with a strong sense of camaraderie that shadows anybody else, he has both the kindness and the strength to face any challenge.

He is capable of piecing together vague clues and other minor hints to reach conclusions that his teammates and most others would have overlooked, allowing to see through ruses and cons [even from exceptionally devious individuals]. Vector excels in leadership, such as quickly uniting several of his allies into a competent fighting force to face off against Eggman and his Omega Mech. By commanding them into groups and roles based on playing to their strengths, they were even able to cause noticeable damage despite fighting a losing battle before Sonic showed up. A competent fighter, Vector is also capable of taking out hordes of Badniks, fighting opponents as skilled as members of Team Dark, occasionally assisting the likes of Sonic & Shadow in battle. Additionally, Vector can use his investigative skills to pick up patterns on enemy movement during combat)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Vector Breath: Vector releases intense soundwaves, searing flames, or explosive pink bubblegum bubbles from his mouth, damaging anything caught in his attack radius.
*Spin Attack: While moving at high speeds Vector curls into a ball and rams enemies as a concussive force or cutting disk.
*Spin Dash: Vector curls into a ball and begins spinning rapidly from a stationary position to charge up, then launches forward with enhanced mobility.
*Homing Attack: Vector performs a mid-air Spin Dash that homes in on opponents, striking them with perfect aim. After hitting, the attack's force will cause Vector to bounce off the target, allowing him to attack enemies again immediately afterward (potentially repeatedly) or attack other enemies in the vicinity.
*Head Slide: Vector slides forward on his stomach at high speeds while enveloping himself in a aura of energy, allowing him to mow down obstacles and enemies in his path unhindered.
*Hammer Down: While in midair Vector thrusts his fists onto the ground or nearby opponents beneath him, striking with enough force to generate fiery shockwaves. 
*Bubblegum Descent: Vector inflates a massive purple balloon-bubble made of bubblegum while in midair, which slows his own descent by catching the air beneath him and reach higher areas by generating vertical drafts.
*Team Blast: Vector and other members of Chaotix sing a song that affects enemies in a large Area of Effect. The attack has been known to destroy large and imposing Robots.
*Cyan Laser: Using the power of a Cyan Wisp, Vector transforms into a cyan laser beam. As the Cyan Laser, Vector gains the same properties as that of a real laser, allowing him to move as a living beam of light. When hitting any surfaces as the Cyan Laser Vector can also bounce off them as if they were reflective surfaces.
*Indigo Asteroid: Using the power of an Indigo Wisp, Vector transforms into an orb-shaped body with striped, indigo skin and a matching planetary ring encircling his middle. As the Indigo Asteroid, Vector essentially becomes a miniature planet with a strong gravitational field. Vector is as such capable of creating a powerful gravitational pull around himself, strong enough to tear all kinds of objects to pieces and pull them into the Asteroid Ring. Additionally, the gathered matter can be used to empower the gravitational pull. Indigo Asteroid also grants Vector the ability to levitate through midair.
*Yellow Drill: Using the power of a Yellow Wisp Vector turns into a yellow spiral drill. As the Yellow Drill, Vector can burrow and tunnel underground at remarkable high speeds and can be applied underwater, allowing Vector to move through water in a manner similar to a living torpedo.
Note: The Adventure and Modern Eras have grouped abilities due to Vector's abilities being virtually identical between them.
Note 2: Some of Vector's summary and personality comes from his character profile from the Knuckles' Chaotix manual.
