Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Continuity)

For detailed information about this series, visit the Mobius Encyclopaedia.
==Summary==
Taken from Sonic News Network:
Inspired, the Archie Sonic Comics are based on Sega's video game franchise of the same name. The Comics takes the video game characters, who's world were not made clear for an ongoing story, and explore their unknown character in ways the source material couldn’t.
The comic's main focus is the adventure stories of the title character, the world-famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic loves adventure and chili dogs and he is always willing to fight to protect the ones he cares about from any threat. Sonic is in some ways different from his game counterpart - in the comics, he is displayed as having a ratheIr strong sense of humor, as well as important familial ties with his family and friends; characteristics absent from most other incarnations. He is shown engaging in romantic relationships, while in the games, he is uninterested in romance. He is also portrayed as having a deeper sense of duty - in the games Sonic treats his ongoing conflict with Eggman as just an opportunity to have a fun time, whereas in the comic series he understands it as a responsibility to protect his world from a terrible menace, although he does seem to have fun when fighting Eggman.
Archie Sonic comics has stories that surround other characters from the games such as Knuckles the Echidna and Shadow the Hedgehog, the former having a much bigger background and latter having many of his own adventures.
However, this no longer factored into the verse as of the Worlds Collide event. The Multiverse suffered from the destruction caused by the Super Genesis Wave, it resetting the cosmology and introducing more game elements as well as re-purposing AoSTH characters. The Freedom Fighters, luckily, survived.
Note:
While the Pre-Super Genesis Wave's setting focused heavily on Sonic SATAM's setting, Archie started releasing mini-series issues of the cast almost a year before SATAM started airing, making Sally and the other Freedom Fighters predating the show as Comic Book Characters.

==Power of the Verse==
<tabber>
|-|Pre-Super-Genesis Wave=
Within the Pre-Super Genesis Wave reality, the Archie Sonic verse is incredibly formidable. It has a multi-layered cosmology with various things at work, and with several layers of existence within it. In terms of strength, the Base cast sit at Universe level+ (Low 2-C) in their stats with Infinite speed. Certain characters are also capable of controlling a power called "Chaos Energy"; a cosmic source of conceptual energy that serves as a tool for warping reality on a whim. Ripping atoms from the body, changing reality, and distorting space-time are child's play with mastery. Above the Base cast range Super Forms, Chaos Force deities, and those comparable, who wield Complex Multiverse level (7-D) power.
Even the average Mobian has a natural Resistance to Extreme Cold and Cosmic Radiations from scaling to the ,Sonic the Hedgehog issue #26; "Way, Way Past Cool"Sonic the Hedgehog issue #64; "In Search Of..."Sonic the Hedgehog issue #13; "Space in yo' Face" who are all written as regular Mobians (biologically) without special enhancements.
*(Note: The verse does not scale to the Destructix the same way as the Freedom Fighters. While Sonic the Hedgehog issue #165; "Leak" without Mogul's protection, the Echidnas are implied to have become empty husks and Charmy Bee became brain damaged in mere seconds.)
|-|Post-Super Genesis Wave=
By the Worlds Collide Arc, the continuity has been rebooted; all characters and elements tied to Ken Penders have been taken out of the comic, the Chaos Force is gone, and the history of the universe follows the game continuity up to a certain point far more closely. 
The characters still remain incredibly strong, albeit more tame compared to it's counterpart. The Base cast ranging from Multi-Continent level+ (16.7 Exatons, High 6-A+) to Moon level (167 Exatons) through stronger characters and certain amps with FTL speed. Super Forms still remain incredibly strong, still retaining a comparable amount of power to before the Super Genesis Wave.

Ian Flynn:
* During the transition between Pre-/Post- Continuities, fans had a lot of questions over the tragedy caused by Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily's Super Genesis Wave and Super Sonic's Chaos Control. Ian Flynn, the writer in-charge of the SGW incident, held an online Q&A, discussing the multiversal collapse and what it meant moving forward(Post-Super Genesis Wave), answering his likes and dislikes(Opinions), etc.
* The Web Archive containing the Q&A, can be located: here.
