I haven't seen anyone type this out anywhere on this site prior, so I want to throw this out there. Dr. Starline is hot. He's hotter than Surge. He's smart, nerdy and the writers clearly poured all their awareness of hypnosis and mind control tropes into him with no shame whatsoever. The fact that there's a scene where he slams his glove on Surge's face and demands her to sleep is proof that at least one hypnofag is working on this comic.

If the virus rewrites your own genetic coding, why would going Super cure you? Why wouldn't the energy just recognize infected cells as your real cells and cause them to go Super with the rest of your body? The logic in this blue hedgehog run fast story just doesn't track, man.

Just have him be indisposed at the moment? Like fighting something else only he can be take down?
Or hell, since this is the Zombie episode, have him be infected anyway but slower and hide it out of shame/pride, like some zombie movie characters sometimes do, and when the plot would be too easily solved by him THEN have him succumb to the infection
You know, a bit more dramatic than going down like a dumb bitch at the first try

Sonic and Shadow are tied speed wise. They constantly call them each others perfect equals.

Granted since Shadow can spam his powers more and they said Shadow needs his air shoes to match Sonic's speed while being his perfect equal, I take it as Shadow is naturally slower but stronger and his Air Shoes siphon just enough of his Chaos Energy to weaken him and speed him up to be Sonic's mirror.

These comics only make sense when you realize Flynn's favorite character is Knuckles and he does not like Shadow at all. It's at the point where Knuckles defeats Superman's enemies when Superman can't in a crossover. We are approaching a Pendersingularity.
>>
>>719329068
Not really, Battle isn't the only game where Shadow is stated to be on par with and scales to Sonic, this has been consistent theme from Heroes to the modern era, his official Sonic Channel bio as of today even states that.
>>
>>719329881
Better alternative:
Shadow is the only one unaffected by the Metal Virus. As the story progresses and more and more get infected, he slowly starts to lose his veneer of calm as he realizes the power that keeps him safe is worthless for protecting others. At first Sonic is able to keep Shadow cool, but once Sonic's infected the stakes are raised trying to rescue the helpless, isolate the infected, and find Eggman before Shadow "permanently defeats" the mad doctor... and Shadow can freely teleport wherever he wants to.

I thought it'd be funny if he was immune but also a carrier. So he can punch, kick, and fight all those infected all day but until a cure's made he can't touch another soul without them succumbing to it.

Your idea would work better if the Metal Virus was being spread through Eggman's creations and Shadow is an unexpected vector for it. If it's just a bucket of goopy self-replicating nanites, then Shadow being a carrier is a bit too much.

When ws this? Shadow obliterated Shadowman into pieces like a fly once his possesion ended. And Sonic was rarely ever alone during that crossover, even when he was on his own attacking the RM horde he was mostly goofing around.
>>
>>719334556
I think that the only recurring character that should be able to beat Shadow in a straight 1v1 is Omega, with the trade-off being that Omega is specifically designed to hard-counter Shadow. For example, Omega can be defeated by Sonic, even though Sonic and Shadow are on the same scale.

>>719334774
Sonic isn't overrated, it's just that writers have lost the plot of who he is as a character. Sonic should never have been an intended hero. He works better as an accidental hero who stumbles onto bad workings rather than actively searching or monitoring for problems to solve. He should just be doing his own thing and gets roped into other people's problems.

Shadow should have never been turned. Hes Shadow the Hedgehog, hes more hype as a powerhouse than Sonic and Knuckles combined, allegedly. Shadow should have destroyed have of the robot masters before Sonic and Rock got there including Bass.

>And Sonic was rarely ever alone during that crossover, even when he was on his own attacking the RM horde he was mostly goofing around.

And that makes that better how, Sonic is so strong he can fuck around and take his time instead of going full throttle? How's that a good look for Shadow whos Sonic but more serious and what I described?
>>
>>719329915
Because Sega wants shadow to be like vegeta now. Anti hero who is arrogant and jobs so that the real hero (sonic) can come in and win at the end.

I think Dr. Starline is actually the best Sonic character. I agree that Shadow is a stronger character than Sonic, and I love Silver too, but Starline is hot.

More of a general fan stand-in. His glove is a plot device that consistently gives him power fantasy abilities like unlimited portals and super hypnosis. His mentality is that of a pseudo-intellectual clout chaser who spouts rhetoric about scientific rigor while actually being driven entirely by sentiment and ego.

There's a lot of crossover but I think if he was meant to be an MC villain, it would've been used more against the protags. More post-hypnotics, more weird dominance plays, more Surge having hallucinations and more of Kit's serial killer energy.

Shadow lost to shadow man(well struggled alot) and was about to die to napalm man. While Sonic one shot every speed based robot master including the time manipulation one. Ian always emphasizes Sonics superior to Shadow as a biased Shadow hater

Shadow was fighting liuterally dozens of RESPAWNING Robot maters at the same time. And Napalm wasn't even the one that damaged him the most, I know you'd be bitching about him if you remembered. Did you even read the thing.

>>719334929
>no Sonic isn't a hero you see
This line of thought really annoys me. It basically just exists as a tryhard rejection of some meanings of the word hero. Sonic's first adventure was motivated by wanting to save his animal friends from Robotnik. Why do some people keep pretending Sonic is like the Man with no name or something? He's always been an unquestionable hero that frees and helps others and obliterates evil, a black and white good guy. Even Shadow is, the only time he wasn't he was being manipulated by Gerald or daddy alien man.

>>719335427
I didn't type that Sonic isn't a hero, I typed that he's not trying to be a hero. That's what makes him cool. He's a hero for saving the day and he's cool because it's not his job to save the day. It's the difference between a fireman getting a baby out of a burning building and a random person pulling a baby out of a burning building. You're grateful the fireman did it, but ultimately it's his job to do things like that. The random person passing by doesn't have the obligation to put his life on the line to save a random stranger baby, but he did it anyway, and that's pretty frickin' sweet.

Sonic works best when he's an example of not how to be a hero, but how to be independent and take control of a bad situation, because he's not trying to be a hero, he's trying to be carefree.

Issue 50 seemed well-thought-out enough that you’d think Starline being killed was planned, but the fact that Surge’s hypno subject and hypno trauma arc ended the way it did (IIRC, it didn’t actually get an ending) makes me think Sega was attempting to moralize him and then axed him because they figured out the writers were into him.

But that describes every cape hero. All of them. Besides, with how incompetent the nonexistant authorities and militaries of the Sonic world are, it basically IS Sonic's job to save everyone.

Why the fuck was Shadow written to be robotized anyways? Because Ian's Sonic boner fanfiction would be ruined if he actually made the strongest character equal to Sonic actually be useful and as competent. Ian's a Sonic glazed whos too insecure over Shadow being better than Sonic at anything.

? I'd agree if you were talking about IDW in general, but why would this apply to Scrapnik Island in particular? The story is about a bunch of badniks, robots created with no free will and to tend to the whims of a fat manchild, formerly powered by captured animals, finding a life and purpose of their own, putting a huge spotlight in how Sonic averts something he's seen in the past with Metal. Also what recurring Sonic character has died or changed (not for the worse like Amy or post-resurrection Shadow) in the games except for Gamma?

Also if IDW is smart, the Scrapnik characters will never, EVER appear again. If they do, they will ruin it, I'm sure. It was meant to be a standalone story.

You might have a point if we were talking about a series with integrity but Sonic as a franchise was designed from the beginning to be corposlop for normalfags, so it doesn't gwt judged on the same merits as a personal story told once and not made to be milked until it stops being profitable.

At that point in the comic Eggman created a virus that turns people into indestructible metallic zombies, the so-called "Metal Virus". It's spread through touch, and speed can slow the rate of infection, but Eggman never developed a cure. Shadow was advised to flee, but he instead chose to stay and fight, and obviously got infected and became a metal zombie very early on.

That arc of the comic is both very long and really dark, which features fun things like Vector identifying a fleeing infectee in a crowd of refugees and isolating them as they cry for mercy by coldly planting four cars in the ground to create a cage around them, and Cream watching her mother get infected and turned to protect her (Cream later gets infected and turned herself too).

In the end, there was no cure, and almost everyone on the planet got infected and turned. Sonic and Silver gathered the Chaos Emeralds and went Super Sonic and Super Silver. Silver used the power boost to his telekinesis to rip out all the metal virus cells from every single person on the planet, gathering them all in a massive sphere, and Sonic used Chaos Control to warp the sphere into the sun, ending the virus for good.

Afterwards Dr. Starline kept samples of the virus and modified it to remove the metallic effect and the mental degradation along with the contagious ability, using it to improve Kit and Surge's durability for his plan to kill and replace Sonic and Tails.

That would imply she even had a coherent character to begin with, outside of an N64 game that technically never properly came out.

Something I've never understood about Shadow: except for his physical attributes, can't he do most of the thing he does because he happens to have a Chaos Emerald with him? Like I thought the reason he was able to do Chaos Control freely in Shadow 05 is because you get one of them in a box near the beginning, and it's unavoidable. And when he does it in 06, he needs to hold the thing in his hand as well. So what about the spear thing, can he do it without a Chemerald in the new games, or is the logic that he has one on him?
>>
>>719348401
Sonic has special abilities in SA2 vs mode, but while shadows chaos spear was made 'official' nobody else's was. Which is weird.
>>
>>719319632
No, the virus affects Sonic much more slowly than other people because of his super speed. It's something natural and inherent to him.

However, Shadow's comes from his Air Shoes, so he has no such defense against the virus. His speed is not part of him.
>>
>>719348654
He still has to have one, but what makes no sense is why only shadow can do it. In adventure 2 sonic is able to do chaos control, even with a fake emerald (something shadow says should be impossible and can't do himself), but then they just kind of forget about that. In theory he should be able to use chaos spears too.
>>
>>719345934
I wish he'd take them off in Generations during some boss fights. But naaahhhh limiter rings will neverever be used
>>
>>719348909
Silver Chaos controls at some point in 06 iirc, and also, I'd think, on paper, Blaze, Tails and Knuckles have been shown to be able to tap into the Emerald's powers so they should also be able. Ideally, they'd have powers of their own like Tails was able to summon Flickies.

>In the game, Beat is assumed to be a rumor-spreading scumbag and punk before encountering him officially. When first meeting Beat, he is rather standoffish, and questions what the GG's want. After his loss, Beat quickly warms up to the gang, but is shown to be overconfident in certain aspects, which is already showcased when accepting his challenge in to a race, but also with becoming the leader of the GG's themselves, claiming that it is only a matter of time before he takes leadership of the gang; he also pokes fun of the idea for the leadership of the GG's in general.

>>719316789
What happened to Shadow is nothing. Sonic's character throughout the entire IDW comic has been utterly raped by hacks that want to deconstruct the setting and write Sonic as a faggot that makes everyones lives miserable because he desperately wants to redeem Eggman when in the games he leaves Eggman for dead after kicking his ass with zero fucks given. Even PONTAFF understood this.
