**Knuckles the Echidna**, is both a fictional character and protagonist from the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is an anthropomorphic echidna with the power of super strength.

He is also one of the last remaining and surviving descendants of the ancient warrior clan and the current guardian of a powerful and ancient relic which is his solemn duty to protect from anyone who seeks to abuse its power.

A loner by nature, He is independent, headstrong and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. He is devoted to his duty, spending his time protecting the relic, and rarely cares for anything that is of no importance.

When there are those in need of his help, however, he can always be relied on being willing to leave his post and prove himself a faithful and good-hearted hero. He is also one of Sonic's oldest friends and longtime rivals.

He is famous as a treasure hunter and master of martial arts. His dominant traits are his strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his hands, from which his name is derived from, which he can use to climb walls with.

He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air. He serves as the muscle of Team Sonic. He mentioned that treasure hunting is just one of his favorite hobbies, after hanging out with both Tails & Sonic.

"*It's my duty to protect the Master Emerald! It's already been taken during my watch...and destroyed...or **both**! I will **not** be humiliated again! I will not fail again! They can keep coming, keep trying, keep fighting...**but I won't lose**!!"*

—Knuckles, to Shadow.

## Personality

### Video Games/Manga

"*I'll probably be on this floating island forever, guarding the Master Emerald again. I may not know the whole story behind this, but perhaps it's better that way. I'm at peace once more.*"

—Knuckles, to himself.

### Anime

"*Without us? But you know how much I like punching things.*"

—Knuckles, to Sonic.

### Video Games/Manga

"*It is my destiny to destroy **you**.*"

—Knuckles, to Sonic.
Knuckles is described as being serious in nature, yet still gullible at times. Being better suited for combat than Sonic in many ways, his entire existence is about honor and about being a warrior, to the point where he appears to be a force of nature. He is also somewhat overconfident, claiming that he does not need Sonic's powers because he has his own.

Knuckles is also very persistent when it comes to his supposed destiny to take down Sonic.

## Powers and Abilities

Knuckles has the ability to glide and climb walls. He is also quite physically strong, being capable of holding back Sonic's bio-electrically enhanced spin attack with just one hand. His hands and gloves also appear to be quite durable, as he is able to hold Sonic in place while he is actively spinning without getting any friction burns. In addition, like Sonic, he appears capable of charging himself with bio-electrical energy, which he can channel into his hands and create shockwaves of energy when hammering into a surface.

**Super Knuckles** (スーパーナックルズ, *Sūpā Nakkuruzu*), is a super transformation Knuckles can initiate and transform into, when using all seven Chaos Emeralds that are collected. Super Knuckles is a faster, stronger and invulnerable version of himself that can fly, teleport and move faster than the speed of light. In this state he can fly, is faster, stronger and nearly invincible, teleport and move faster than the speed of light. He can also heal people with a touch.

#### Color Powers

*Main article:* *Color Powers*
The **Color Powers** (カラーパワー, *Karā Pawā*), is a power Knuckles can use when harnessing specific, but different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, allowing him to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a fireball, each one possessing its own unique abilities.

So far, Knuckles has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.
