    If you think about it, this is a fantastic interpretation of him and makes since in the world of Sonic. Chaos is Discord incarnate. So when Sonic uses them, he becomes an agent of Chaos itself. That prefix isn't there for show. Like you said here, when Super Sonic or Chaos is siphoned away from Chaos Radiation, they are way more tame.
    It would be cool if the games were to use this idea because of Sonic's overuse and lack of actual training with Chaos Energy. In the games he just kinda uses them off hand. It gives consequences to the common transformation.

      2-Knuckles is capable of absorbing the chaos energy but he doesn't want end up ike Super Sonic

For instance, Chaos when absorbing the energy from the emeralds drained all of it's negative energy and became a chaotic evil monster filled with malice and rage lashing out against the world. But Sonic is able to tap into the positive energy and transform into his Super sonic state, where he is able to control the Chaos and use it for good.

      My name is Super Sonic. I'm 25 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Green hill, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

    I think Archie's evil Super Sonic was definitely a reference to StC's Super. One panel in particular feels like a pretty straight homage of that page where Super's laughing and turns back into Sonic. That Archie comic came out around the time Tekno (and Ebony) started making cameo appearances, so at least some of the writers and artists were aware of the Fleetway series.

      ​@@JohnnyVector I'm not sure if it was this situation, also, or just the OVA, but I think Archie might've gotten in trouble doing what little they did. Amy calls Tekno by name in one panel, which would go a little beyond StC characters filling out background shots. Fleetway's in a weird legal era because I think everything that's in it is creator-owned, like how basically everything in pre-reboot Archie became off limits for similar reasons. I know Ian Flynn said he got permission from Nigel Kitching to use the Metalix, but nothing ever came of it because things would've been too complicated to sort though.

    Even though I agree with the Hulk comparison (StC writers were actually big Marvel fans,) this Super-Sonic may also be inspired by Dragon Ball. In the very first season, Goku is feared by his partners, once they figured out he can turn to a giant gorilla, and probably killed his grandfather by accident. They end up using his transformation against Pilaf (the greatest villain in the series,) in a way that also happens in Sonic the Comic. Big difference here, Goku was not aware of his alter-ego for a really long time.

    The notable thing about Goku's Super form was that IT DID CHANGE HIS PERSONALITY. He wasn't fighting for fun anymore. He became cold, and menacing. This personality change eventually did wear off, but I'm still surprised that you were clueless about this huge aspect of it. having said that, it was Gohan who has more resemblance to Fleetway Super Sonic due to his anger issues when gaining a new form. But even that pales in comparison to the actual Super Sonic. His personality is so wildly different, that it does seem like they just wanted to do their own thing entirely.

    It's surreal seeing these comics again, I got bought them at the time and remember how much I adored the supersonic art and the Sidewinder gang in particular (For some reason the one where's he's holding a cup of tea next to the fire really stuck with me). No wonder i remember the art is just incredible

    Honestly, in some ways, Super Sonic's personality feels almost like a drama-preserving handicap put on the form.
    Adaptations generally don't include the whole "Needs to consume a shit-ton of rings to function" thing as a trait of Super form... and to be fair, neither do the games when cutscenes are concerned. Even as early as Sonic 2, Sonic is able to transform after going through the totally-ringless Death Egg Zone, and later on in Sonic Advance, he spends about a week just flying around in space- Or maybe it just took him that long to get back from the moon? Even at 25000mph, that's a three-day trip. Either way, Super Sonic being a gas-guzzler doesn't appear to be canon in the games themselves, and definitely isn't in the cartoons and comics.
    With that in mind, it raises the question of "Why doesn't Sonic use his Super form... well, as much as anyone playing the classic-style games will on their playthrough?" The Doylist answer is, of course, "Because then there wouldn't be a story", but that doesn't mean we don't need a Watsonian, internal explanation. Lack of access to the Emeralds can be an answer, true, but adaptations tend to like it when Sonic can visit Knuckles any day of the week, and Knuckles spends basically all his time sitting in front of a giant Chaos Emerald that can also turn people Super.
    StC provides that. Sonic can't solve all of his problems by turning into an invincible golden god on the regular because said invincible golden god wants to murder his friends, and isn't even guaranteed to attack the villains first. It's not the _cleanest_ justification, and it does vastly inhibit the viability of the form even for situation that warrant its use, but it works. And it prevents people asking the question of "Seriously, the Master Emerald is right there, why don't you just turn into Super Sonic, blow the Death Egg of the sky, and have your girlfriend restored to flesh and blood by sunset?"
    Also, he's just the best version of a superpowered evil side for Sonic himself. Darkspine is cool but really difficult to work in (what with being fuelled by less than half of a set of macguffins that only exist in a book), and Dark Super is just... boring.

    S&K was the first appearance of the space and flight abilities.
    There are a couple of mentions, notably the first appearances of SSJ1 and SSJ2, as well as Legendary Super Saiyans like Broly or Kale (potentially due to the seemingly demonic elements of the Legendary forms) that imply that the SSJ forms may amplify emotions to the point of the wielder's decisions being affected.

    I recall reading some stuff from StC Online. Super Sonic was implied to be the one destroying Silver's future instead of Iblis (although that was still Silver's name for SS) and I believe Silver had come into conflict with Sonic by mistaking him for his counterpart (although I may be misrembering that). Hyper Sonic was also featured, being more like its original counterpart (as Sonic had absorbed a fountain of _pure_ Chaos energy and so wasn't corrupted by it). Although it is worth noting that Amy immediately disputed the name of Hyper Sonic due to him being, in her own words, "just Sonic!" To my knowledge however he's only appeared once so far, albeit in a significant role, destroying a bunch of Drakon ships (along with much of their tech being destroyed by a virus Robotnik had installed), reconnecting Miracle Planet and Mobius and towing Drak, home of the Drakons, back to its usual position and away from Mobius.

    • @ElijahW2003

      According to the wiki, Super Sonic also makes a couple more appearances, once when Sonic transforms while fighting Shadow, and again when it's revealed that Ebony kept a bottle of some of SS's essence, which Sonic accidentally opens, causing him to transform. One Dexter "Codex" Bagstille made an attempt to bring out Super Sonic and control him with a collar capable of draining his Chaos energy, only for it to completely fail. The wiki isn't too clear on how it happens but somehow Super Sonic manages to reseparate from Sonic (or at least I believe so?) and drain the Chaos energy from the Omni-Viewer. It's heavily implied that this is connected to his appearance as "Iblis". He later teams up with Robotnik to attempt to destroy Sonic with their combined power, only to inevitably betray him. Porker subdues him by siphoning his Chaos energy. The Wiki claims he's "killed" by it but given his reappearance as Iblis I find that unlikely.

    The way I see it, the reason for the Fleetway Version of Super Sonic becoming evil is because Sonic wouldn't be able to control the energy of the Chaos Emeralds, though in the games, he seems to be able to harness their power just fine without his heroic personality being changed in any way due to him having a strong sense of justice, so I'm guessing that means the Fleetway version of Sonic is actually weaker than his video game counterpart if his will is unable to control such power.

    That would make things much better for me were it not for the fact that the amnesia plot happened, further complicating things.

      From what I know or remember, this likely goes back to the Origins of Sonic and Dr. Kintobor where he states that he was going to use the Chaos Emeralds to rid of all Evil in the entire Planet. However, it was incomplete with both Sonic and Kintobor being exposed to Chaos Radiation, Robotnik was exposed to the Evil of the Chaos Emeralds due to the process not being complete, turning him into Dr. Robotnik. I personally believe that after Sonic gained more Radiation, it was not HIM and nor was Super Sonic a seperate entity at the time. This was due to the Chaos Energy corrupting him with the evil of the Planet but unlike Robotnik, this was only for a temporary amount of time.
      Robotnik and Kintobor are in fact the same as Super Sonic and Sonic, it's more of the Radiation changing their emotions and such. However if you remember in the Running Wild Arc, it was due to the Star Post removing all the Chaos Energy from Sonic, that was how it became a seperate entity. All the Chaos Energy thrown out of Sonic was nearly gone with Super Sonic being split and having it all for himself, imagine if Robotnik and Kintobor had to split.
