List of minor characters

Characters who have either had very minor or cameo roles in the What If? series, as well as those who have been mentioned, but never seen.

## What If Sonic Never Lost The Werehog Form?

#### Chaos (WI01)

Chaos was briefly mentioned in Part 1 as part of Doctor Eggman's thought process behind creating Dark Gaia's mind control device. Since the events of *Sonic Adventure* occurred identically to the canon video game timeline in *WI01* prior to the story's beginning, Chaos had betrayed Eggman in order to go on a rampage, giving Eggman the idea to create a failsafe in case Dark Gaia attempted something similar.

#### Sir Marrok

Sir Marrok, according to Caliburn, was a previous Knight of the Round Table that was cursed by his jointress to take the form of an animal. Caliburn describes him as having been brave, kindhearted and with incredible strength, Sonic supposedly reminding him of the old warrior. At some point a 'magical intervention' was performed to try and help with his cursed transformation, but the details of the ritual or what it actually did are unclear, as is the ultimate fate of Sir Marrok.

#### Blacksmith (WI01)

Sonic met the Blacksmith under near-identical circumstances to the original video game continuity, having him sharpen Caliburn's dull edge early into his journey across Camelot. When Sonic grieved over having unwillingly shattered Chip's bracelet, the Blacksmith forged it anew before Sonic returned home.

#### Jet the Hawk (WI01)

Sonic did not attend the World Grand Prix hosted by King Doc, prompting a brief mention of Jet, who was waiting for him there. He was apparently furious at not getting the chance to race Sonic again, and is potentially still unaware of his current condition.

#### Orbot & Cubot (WI01)

Eggman's minion robots appeared only for a brief encounter in Part 3, where they were seen menacing Cream, Cheese and several Wisps with a raygun and a net. They were momentarily set back in their efforts to capture the Wisps by the appearance of Tails, but it wasn't until Sonic himself arrived that they were fully forced to retreat. They went unseen for the rest of the *Sonic Colors* story, and it is presumed that they were inside the Nega Wisp Armour when it was catapulted across space by the Mother Wisp, just like the original game canon.

#### Yacker (WI01)

Yacker appeared in the *Sonic Colors* adaptation in *WI01,* where he played an identical role to his original video game continuity counterpart. After joining up with Sonic and Tails in Tropical Resort, he followed them until being quietly captured some time around when the group was venturing across his homeworld - Planet Wisp. At the Asteroid Coaster, he was spotted by Tails in a pod full of his Wisp brethren, slowly approaching the machine that would siphon his energy and turn him into a Nega-Wisp. Yacker was then rescued by Shadow the Hedgehog, reuniting with Sonic and Tails for the rest of their time at the Interstellar Amusement Park.

#### Classic Metal Sonic (WI01)

Classic Metal Sonic was battled offscreen by Classic Sonic in an identical circumstance to the original *Sonic Generations*. It is unknown exactly when this battle occurred, but it presumably happened either before the two Sonics met or while they worked together through Speed Highway, City Escape and Seaside Hill. Like the original game, Classic Metal Sonic was defeated by Classic Sonic and his purple Chaos Emerald was retrieved.

#### Shahra (WI01)

Sonic's genie companion from his adventure in the Arabian Nights did not make a physical appearance in the Sonic Generations Arc even after Sonic and his team travelled to Night Palace, on account of their arrival point being immediately after she was sacrificed to fuel Erazor's transformation into Alf Wayla wa-Layla. All that was heard of her was a scream of pain and fear the moment she died. Her current status after the demise of Alf Wamaritan and Erazor Djinn's subsequent banishment to White Space is unknown.

#### Ali Baba (WI01)

Tails' counterpart in the world of the Arabian Nights. He was mentioned briefly in Part 5 as having been who Alf Layla wa-Layla mistook Tails and Classic Tails for.

#### King Sharyar (WI01)

Similarly to Ali-Baba, Alf Layla wa-Layla exclaimed the name of Eggman's counterpart upon seeing himself and Classic Eggman for the first time.

#### Ifrit Golem (WI01)

When plotting to take control of the Time Eater, Alf Layla wa-Layla compared it to the Ifrit Golem, a mechanical monster he had previously summoned to battle Sonic in *Sonic and the Secret Rings*.

## What If Emerl Survived?

#### Professor Gerald (WI02)

Professor Gerald's role in Emerl's history is identical to the original video game timeline, and he was briefly mentioned as the creator of Emerl's failsafe program.

#### President (WI02)

Rouge briefly mentioned the President after Emerl returned safely from the Death Egg, sarcastically bemoaning the fact she'd have to lie about Emerl to him to avoid any complications caused by her mission to investigate the Gizoid on his behalf.

#### Future Shadow (WI02)

To try and persuade Shadow to ally with him, Mephiles the Dark unveiled the version of him from Silver's future timeline. In an identical circumstance to the video game canon continuity, this Shadow was sealed away by the humans out of fear for his power.

#### Shade the Echidna (WI02)

After being surrounded by Marauders and Gizoid Centurions, Emerl and Gemerl were met with Shade, the Procurator (military commander) of the Nocturnus Clan. She directed them to seek audience with their leader, Imperator Ix, and watcheed the following battles Emerl had with the Gizoid Prefects and her master.

## What If Sonic Lost His Memory?

#### The Biolizard (WI03)

The Biolizard briefly appeared in it's Finalhazard state during Part 1, where Sonic and Shadow stopped it from ramming the Space Colony ARK into Earth with a joint Super Chaos Control. Just as in the original video game continuity, it seemingly perished during the warp and disappeared.

#### Maria Robotnik (WI03)

Maria, who's history is identical to that of the original video game timeline's, was mentioned at numerous points in the series, first in Part 1 when Shadow promised to protect the planet that she and Sonic loved. *Episode Shadow* introduced Commander Tower, a former friend of Maria's who spoke of her to Shadow during their meeting. In *Black Shadow: Exodus,* Doctor Eggman brought up her name in his monologue to Shadow, questioning how long it'd take for him to find someone just like her out in space.

#### Froggy (WI03)

Froggy was kidnapped by Neo Metal Sonic prior to the Shadow Heroes Arc in an identical manner to the original story of *Sonic Heroes.* He is later rescued by Team Rose before the final battle with Metal Madness and his subsequent ascension to the Metal Overlord, remaining with Big throughout Silver's intervention and later left in the care of Vanilla during the Battle of Frontier Canyon.

#### Chocola (WI03)

Chocola was kidnapped by Neo Metal Sonic along with Froggy, and was rescued by Team Rose during the invasion of the Final Fortress. Unlike Froggy, they were not mentioned again for the duration of the story.

#### Decoe & Bocoe

Two Black Arms soldiers assigned with guarding Eggman's cell on the Black Comet, given names by him out of boredom and isolation. They were seen crawling around Eggman's cell when Black Shadow came to visit him in the Pilot, and through their mental link Shadow may monitor Eggman at all times through their senses.

Their names are a reference to the characters from *Sonic X:* Decoe and Bocoe.

## What If E-102 Gamma Survived?

#### Mi & Fu the Flickies

Names given to the two birds in *Sonic Adventure* that travelled with Amy and powered E-101 Beta respectively. They, along with Ko, were a trio of pet birds belonging to Aya that she had taken in during her stay on Flicky Island. After being reunited with Ko through Gamma, they clung to him as their guardian and journeyed with him back to Flicky Island so that they could see Aya again, returning to their previous happy lives with her in spite of Ko not being able to leave Gamma's internal structure for the foreseeable future.

During the storm in Part 2, they sensed the dire state of Gamma and Ko, fleeing from their safe shelter in Aya's tent and leading her outside to where Gamma was incapacitated. This later drew the other researchers to his location in search of Aya, where they showed gratitude for Gamma's assistance in saving the animals from the storm and took him back to their camp where he could recover.

Their current status is unknown, but they presumably remained with Aya after the battle between Gamma and Omega, where they were last seen by her side.

#### Other E-100 Series Units (WI04)

E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon and E-105 Zeta are identical to their canon counterparts in *WI04* and share their fates, though only the latter was ever mentioned directly. After being remodelled into the stationary defence system of the Egg Carrier, Zeta was eliminated by Gamma upon his return to the ship and the first target to fall to his newly-acquired Laser Blaster.

#### E-100 Alpha / ZERO (WI04)

ZERO's role in *WI04* is identical to that of the original *Sonic Adventure*, having menaced Amy throughout her journey to help the blue Flicky - Mi. Due to Gamma and Beta's final battle being delayed, ZERO arrived on the floating Egg Carrier while Gamma was still present and made his bid to snatch Mi just as he had done in the original timeline. However, thanks to Gamma's interference, Amy Rose never had to battle E-100 as one shot from Gamma's Laser Blaster was enough to make him explode.

#### Big the Cat (WI04)

Big the Cat appeared at the site of Perfect Chaos' awakening, where he had a small exchange with Gamma. After the battle, he presumably returned to his home in the Mystic Ruins as per the original video game timeline.

#### Froggy (WI04)

Froggy was briefly mentioned by Big when he saw Gamma in Part 1, whom had kidnapped the frog in events prior to *WI04's* narrative.

#### Tikal the Echidna (WI04)

After Sonic defeated Perfect Chaos, Tikal was briefly mentioned as appearing to leave with them as per the original ending of *Sonic Adventure.*

#### Metal Sonic (WI04)

When Gamma returned to the ruins of Final Egg to uncover archived data on where the Empire was sourcing it's animals, Metal Sonic's pod was notably smashed open from the inside and he was nowhere to be seen. The Sega Scourge implied that this escape and his apparent massacring of Mecha Sonic Mk.III could be considered foreshadowing of Metal Sonic's eventual hostile takeover of the Eggman Empire as Neo Metal Sonic in *Sonic Heroes*.

#### Mecha Sonic Mk.III (WI04)

Mecha Sonic Mk.III's severed head was discovered by Gamma upon his return to the Final Egg, him having been seemingly murdered by Metal Sonic during his escape of the ruins.

In Part 2, he was referred to as 'Silver Sonic Mk.II' after the robot's Archie Comics counterpart in the pre-reboot continuity. However, the then-unnamed robot's game universe incarnation was later officially titled as the third in the Mecha Sonic line.

#### Shadow the Hedgehog & Rouge the Bat (WI04)

Shadow and Rouge were briefly mentioned in Part 3, during expositon on E-123 Omega's backstory. Their current status is unknown, but it was confirmed that Omega's dispatching to Flicky Island means that he has never met either of them.

## What If Espio Trained With Master Zik?

#### Xynk

Xynks are a species native to the Lost Hex and appear in Sonicomics: What If?, during the first chapter set in *WI05*. Their saliva contains powerful toxins that Master Zik had a need for, so Espio and Zeena were dispatched to find one of the beasts and take its venom. During the fight, Espio broke the claws on one of it's paws off with a kunai-throwing attack, then viciously struck the top of its head to render it unconscious. After Zeena stole one of the Xynk's broken claws and ran off, Espio was briefly followed by it as he himself tried to track her down, it was shown to be tearful and submissive towards him after being defeated.

## What If Sonic Met The Joker?

#### Sonic's Friends

At the start of the story, it was stated that as well as obtaining the Chaos Emeralds and Phantom Ruby, Dr. Eggman had captured 'all of Sonic's friends', but who this actually entails was never specified. An image from *Lego* *Dimensions* was used as the information was divulged, depicting Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow and Big, so it could be assumed that they at the very least were present at the base before later being cast into various alternate dimensions by The Joker.

#### DC Characters

After powering up into his Super Form, The Joker briefly mentioned Batman and Superman as 'The Dork Knight' and 'Supey' respectively, claiming that he can't wait to see how the former reacts to his new powers and pondering that he might even be able to challenge the latter in a straightforward battle.

#### Miles "Tails" Prower (AF01)

On the thumbnail for Part 2, Tails can be seen wearing a monstrous expression, smiling widely and bound in a chain leash held by The Eggman Who Laughs. He is facing off against Stealth the Hedgehog, and appears to be a parallel to Dark Robin.
