Sonic The Hedgehog is one of gaming's most recognizable mascots and has had already many spin-offs such over the years. You may be familiar with Sonic X Sonic and Boom Sonic but arguably the most Popular counterpart is archie comic's Sonic The Hedgehog.
This version of Sonic was born as Maurice Hedgehog on Mobius Prime during the Great War. When the King, Maximillian Acorn, realized the Great War was going badly for his people, he evacuated a large number of the children in the city, including Sonic, to the Knothole Village for sanctuary. When the war ended, Sonic returned home, only for it to get taken over by the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who had planned to take over the world. Inspired by a fighting resistance known as the Freedom Fighters, Sonic went on to help form his own version of the Freedom Fighters and fought back Robotnik's growing army for years to come. In a multiverse filled with countless versions of the Blue Blur, this Sonic is Sonic Prime, the one true Sonic of all realities, and is destined to become the most pivotal hero of all time and space.
