### Physical Appearance

Sonic is a slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur that covered most of his body, peach skin that covered his arms, muzzle and front torso, and emerald-green eyes. He has small, triangular ears on the top of his head, three long quills on the back of his head, two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short tail.

For attire, Sonic wears two light-weight, hyper friction resistant red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles, gray soles, and white straps across the top, the last of which were held down by a gold buckle on each foot. He also wears a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on his hands.

## Personality

Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is kind, funny, loyal, honest to his friends, keeps his promises, and dislikes tears. He took the young Tails under his wing like a kid brother. He is mostly seen napping, running towards an adventure or thwarting Dr. Eggman's plans.

In times of crisis, though, he focuses intensely on the challenge as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change, and mostly he is fearless.

In some instances, Sonic is shown to be an isolationist and slightly antisocial as he is the kind of person "that needed a lot of privacy," preferring to be alone either by napping, looking at the horizon, or going on an adventure alone for a few minutes or for over six months; ignoring his friends when engaging in conversation or going on an adventure themselves to a location he was to.

Also, Sonic is a nature lover, seeing as he preferred to be outdoors than indoors and take the time to smell the flowers and enjoy life.

Despite his positive attitude and strong need for privacy, Sonic displays some loneliness, believing that he was the only one being transported without his friends and felt sad about it for a moment.

Sonic has also shown himself as a bit of a trickster, as seen when he was stuck on a cruise with his friends, where he manipulated the others to return back by deceiving them that their loved ones at home were missing them.

## Abilities and Powers

Sonic's greatest skill is his running speed with the ability to reach supersonic speeds. While his top speed is unknown, it was confirmed that he could run much more than the speed of sound and achieve speeds greater than that of a lightning bolt. Having nearly limitless stamina, Sonic is able to run for an entire day without stopping. He can also run backwards at full speed just as well as forwards and over water.

In line with his speed, he is a master of rapid response, having astonishingly quick reflexes and capable or running on walls and buildings. Sonic's speed is so great that he was shown to easily outrun Sam's Rocket Car. Sonic displays great physical strength; he can smash robots with his bare hands, carry two steel girders while running, and is able to push E-18 Guerra-Hard away when it had him pinned against a wall, albeit with a great deal of effort.

His legs are very powerful as well, capable of destroying a ghost-enchanted wall that Amy's hammer was incapable of damaging. Sonic possesses amazing durability; he survived getting smashed through buildings, hit by missiles, and beaten to a pulp by the E-99 Eggsterminator while powered by the six Chaos Emeralds. He can even survive atmospheric entry.

Sonic is also extremely agile and acrobatic, capable of jumping hundreds of meters, doing acrobatic moves, and adding his speed with his jump to achieve more height in the air. He has incredible reflexes to match his speed, capable of catching a miniature missile and dodging lasers with ease.

Sonic is able to draw chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds to further empower himself and even gain new abilities; with two Emeralds, he gains high-speed flight and immense strength which he used to level Eggman's fortress. Also, after seeing Shadow performing it, Sonic learned to induce Chaos Control with just one Emerald to bend time and space to his will, allowing him to literally teleport from one place to another instantaneously.

Sonic's main move is the Spin Attack, which is powerful enough to break through virtually anything. When harnessing a Power Ring, Sonic enters "Super Spin Mode" which greatly amplifies his Spin Attack's power and turns him into a nearly unstoppable and all-piercing projectile. Also, without using his Spin Attack, Sonic is highly adept in hand-to-hand combat skills, as shown to be able to fight Knuckles, Shadow, and Metarex Spike in close combat, able to fight against his powerful foes with his own close quarter combat.

### Weaknesses

Sonic is unable to swim and would sink like a stone in water, which can be due to aquaphobia. On some occasions, Sonic can avoid his weakness by running on water (including with his Hover Shoes) or by wearing respirators when going underwater.

### Equipment

During the Metarex wars, Sonic utilized different kits for his shoes created by Christopher Thorndyke. By connecting the kits to his shoes, Sonic is able to access new abilities and bolster his skills in otherwise disadvantageous environments. He also utilized an aerial snowboard for transportation above ice and combat.
