Silver the Hedgehog is a hedgehog from a post-apocalyptic alternate future in the year 3437 P.X.E., two hundred years away from the Mobius Prime's timeline. He has been taught how to control his powers by his master, Mammoth Mogul, and went back in time to Mobius Prime to seek out Sonic the Hedgehog, who he suspected betrayed the Knothole Freedom Fighters in his own timeline. Silver eventually found himself on Moebius and ended up part of a large battle between hedgehogs as he tried to identify Sonic among them. After witnessing Sonic's good nature and Rob o' the Hedge explaining that the evidence Silver had was circumstantial, Silver returned to his own timeline to do further investigation. Silver returned to Mobius thirty years later in the Mobius: X Years Later dimension just in time to save King Sonic and his family from being assassinated by a missile attack from Lien-Da. After feeling that timeline had averted disaster following the defeat of Tikhaos, he returned to his own universe to continue his efforts to uncover the traitor to the Freedom Fighters, where he would find a possible lead in "Boomer", which Silver thought was Rotor Walrus in disguise. After learning of his error about Rotor's past nickname and helping thwart a Dark Egg Legion chapter's hold on the Northern Tundra, he returned to his own time once again to consult with his master. Later, after sensing an arrival into his time, he went to investigate, only to come under attack by an unknown assailant, which he followed into its own time: a barren, wrecked city under the rule of an iron-fisted tyrant. Engaging the other-wordly Enerjak in a ferocious battle, Silver overcame the egotistical demigod with the help of Jani-Ca and was able to restore the hope of a better future to her devastated world. Returning to his time yet again, Silver resolved to learn even more to prepare for oncoming challenges as he realized worlds besides his own were counting on him.

HistoryEdit

Search for SonicEdit

Silver appeared for the first time on Mobius Prime over Never Lake in Mercia, to the surprised Rob o' the Hedge and his wife Mari-An. Silver first believed Rob to be Sonic due to their similar appearance, but when Rob explained he wasn't him, Silver told him he needed to find this Sonic as the future depended on it. (StH: #194)

With Rob as his guide, they used Silver's Super Warp Ring to transport the two to Freedom HQ together. Silver and Rob arrived to find Sally and Alicia arguing about stranding Sonic and Amy Rose on Moebius. After getting the gist of the situation from Sally, Silver admitted he knew of the place and wasted no time transporting himself and Rob to Moebius. Once there, the two hedgehogs met up with Sonic, Scourge, Amy, Rosy the Rascal, Metal Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog. (StH: #195)

During the ensuing melee, Silver attempted to discover who among the group was Sonic, gingerly attempting to ask the individual combatants. Getting increasingly annoyed by everyone ignoring him, Silver halted everyone with his psychic powers and demanded Sonic's identity, to which both Sonic and Scourge replied "He is!" Deducing the truth from the blue Metal Sonic, Silver attacked Sonic, only for Rob to demand he stand down. Silver protested, explaining that in his future someone betrayed the Freedom Fighters and he figured only Sonic was likely enough to have the power to do that. But Rob argued otherwise, displaying Sonic's heroism and giving Silver reason for doubt. Scourge then jumped in and attacked both of them, taunting that Silver should use his powers to give himself "a less-stupid haircut". Shortly afterward, Sonic made a proposal to everyone to stop attacking each other and strictly finish off Scourge. In response, Scourge used the Anarchy Beryl in his throne to transform into Super Scourge. (StH: #195)

Silver tried to defeat Super Scourge but was temporarily knocked aside like all the others. Shortly afterwards when Super Scourge tried to defeat the Suppression Squad and Freedom Fighters after they came through the Star Posts from Mobius, Silver used his psychokinesis to grab and hold Scourge before he could injure the cowering Miles, but Super Scourge managed to break free. Silver tried this again on Sally's orders so the others could pile on top of Super Scourge long enough for him to lose his super form, but Silver's power failed him yet again and Scourge threw the others off of him. Scourge was eventually stopped thanks to the quick thinking of Sonic, as the Anarchy Beryl drained Scourge of his strength when he powered down. Following this, Silver walked back with the others to Dr. Kintobor's tower and told Sonic that he would do more research concerning the betrayal of the Freedom Fighters and return one day, then departed to his home time via Warp Ring. (StH: #196)

Return in 3267Edit

Silver kept his promise and found his way into the Mobius: X Years Later dimension, thirty years after his first encounter with Sonic. During the celebration for King Sonic and Queen Sally, the Dark Presence's leader, Lien-Da fired a missile at the royal family. Before the missile could destroy the king and queen along with their children, however, Silver arrived just in time and used his psychokinesis to destroy the missile and save them all, telling King Sonic that he returned to attempt to save his future once again. (SU: #5)

He later explained to them at Castle Mobius that he believed that now was the time when his future would be plunged into chaos, and says that the Dark Presence are likely connected to it, and Sonic says that he should be searching for King Shadow's former right-hand woman Lien-Da. Silver briefly came to fear that Sally might be the traitor after learning that she ordered the Freedom Fighters to disband, but did little to pursue this conclusion. He was later gassed by Misty-Re, a sleeper agent for the Dark Presence who was posing as a maid inside the castle. After Sonic gassed the maid, he told Sally to take the unconscious Silver and their kids to a safe room in the castle. With Silver still out cold, Sally did her best to carry out her husband's instructions and managed to get the children and Silver into the Panic Room, the latter being carried while draped across her shoulder. (SU: #6, #7)

Silver finally started to come around by the time King Shadow unleashed Tikhaos, (the result of Chaos and Tikal merging together during the Elemental War). Once King Sonic came to rescue his family from the ruins of Castle Mobius, Silver had nearly got back to full power and helped in the fight against Tikhaos, managing to save Belle and Jacques D'Coolette. After Sonia and Manik Acorn successfully struck Tikhaos' brain in an attempt to defeat it, Silver managed to catch them before they plummeted back down to the ground. With the battle over and the time-line saved for now, Silver inquired as to whether King Sonic remembered a traitor within the Freedom Fighters, and he said that he didn't but his trip through time had altered his memories a bit. Silver then pulled out a yellow Time Stone, and used Chronos Control to disappear in a bright light. (StH: #215, SU: #7, #8)

Search for "Boomer"Edit

Returning to his own time, Silver went to Onyx Island, doing research in a library there with the permission of his acquaintance Edmund. Finding a record of the Freedom Fighters, he discovered that one of the original members was listed as "Boomer" Walrus, leading him to believe that Rotor Walrus had infiltrated the group and was impersonating Boomer. Silver briefly considered consulting his master, but decided to take action himself, confident enough in his abilities with the Time Stones to forgo the use of his Super Warp Ring. The Hedgehog

then found himself conflicted, not wishing to kill an individual for a crime they hadn't even committed yet, but eventually convincing himself after looking around at the ruined civilization around him and remembering that the traitor was responsible for it. (StH: #215)

Traveling back in time, he attacked Rotor as the Walrus made his way to the Northern Tundra, easily overpowering his nanite battlesuit and accusing Rotor of being an impostor and traitor. They struggled, but Rotor later managed to persuade Silver to help him in his mission. Arriving at Iceborough in the middle of a battle, Silver thought to hold everyone with his psychokinesis, but Rotor directed him to the Psionic Emitter. Silver was then hooked up to the interface chair where he used his psychokinesis to permanently free the Walrus Herd of mind control while also causing serious damage to the local Dark Egg Legion chapter. Once convinced that Boomer was only Rotor's childhood nickname by his mother and Sonic, Silver returned to his time period quite embarassed and, after a brief dialogue with Guardian Edmund, reported his mission to his master, a slightly aged Mammoth Mogul. (StH: #215, #216)

The Dark UnknownEdit

While being tutored by Mammoth Mogul one day, they detected a strange visitor arrivng from across both time and another zone, and Silver went to investigate. On Onyx Island Silver was forced to defend himself from the mysterious being's attack, and gave chase when he made it retreat. Unaware it was an ambush, Silver was saved only through Edmund's timely intervention, enabling him to subdue it. After he explained the situation, Silver attempted to get any useful information out of Edmund while examining the thing, but it proved fruitless. (SU: #25)

When it recovered and realtiated, Silver barely saved them from being crushed as it escaped through a strange portal that the young hedgehog kept from closing. Silver then followed it on Edmund's suggestion as he was the only one fit to do anything about it, keeping the Time Stone with him so he could return home. After traveling through the portal, Silver arrived in a dark and decrepit city that looked even more disastrous than his own world. After a brief search, he encountered his attacker once again, but it brought backup before he could get any answers. Outnumbered, the young hedgehog quickly found himself fighting for his life when his first attempt to rationally settle the situation failed. (SU: #25)

As his attackers overwhelmed him, Silver used his telekinesis to shield himself with debris, but they turned this strategy around and pressed on the barriers to crush the young time-traveler. In a last act of desperation, Silver unleashed a surge of psychic energy that forced them back. Silver then used this moment to try escaping, but was struck down again and would have been finished if not for being rescued by the Dark Freedom Fighters, who reduced the beings to glowing colored orbs. When brought to their leader, Silver was relieved to see who he thought was Lara-Su, but was viciously threatened by her when he uttered her name. Once Silver was allowed to tell how he knew “Jani-Ca”, he realized this was a different version of Lara-Su, and explained his journey to their world. After a moment’s consideration, Jani-Ca accepted his story and they took him back to their base. (SU: #26)

While on the way, Silver listened to Jani-Ca with shock and disgust at how the Guardian before her had conquered this Mobius as Enerjak and made Prelate warriors out of his victims' Cores, destroying all resistance but her rebels. Once at their hideout, Silver asked Jani-Ca why she believed him, and she described her own time travel experience where she failed to help her present and Silver related, attempting to sympathize with her before asking how to stop Enerjak. Though dubious, once the Freedom Fighters explained the Sword of Acorns’ magical properties and their plan, he agreed to it. However things went downhill at that point, as the demigod revealed his presence to the rebels, claiming he always knew their location and destroyed the base. (SU: #26)

Linking hands with them, Silver levitated his new allies out of the crumbling remains with his telekinesis, but became caught in Enerjak’s Chaos energy. As the tyrant proclaimed Silver's arrival made the rebels’ entertainment value moot, the hedgehog broke free and landed everyone to safety, demanding Enerjak's surrender. Instead, Enerjak summoned more Prelates for a “fair fight” and Jani-Ca told Silver to help the others as she fought one made from her mother’s Core. Not sure who to help first, Silver recalled advice from Edmund and launched a large piece of debris right at Enerjak. Hiding behind the rubble, Silver waited for him to destroy it as a distraction and then grabbed him in his psychic power. Though Silver was elated at first, Enerjak dispelled it with ease and he was knocked to the ground. With every attempted counterattack failed, Silver broke off the fight by launching away the buliding Enerjak was on, and went to rally the Freedom Fighters. Silver then immobilized Prelate-JS, apologizing to Jani-Ca for interfering, but she admitted he was right that her team needed her. As they helped the others destroy the Prelates, Silver gathered the Cores so Enerjak could not reuse them, though Dagger suggested it was not worth restoring their owners. Silver became angry at this arguing how he had not given up on his world, and neither should they when they knew how to fix it. (SU: #26, #27)

Unaware of an impending attack, Silver was easily knocked aside as Enerjak rushed him and took back the Cores. Silver then retreated with the rebels and tried to fight back as the demigod pursued them, but became trapped while Enerjak removed the others' Cores until just Jani-Ca was left. In a moment of focused rage, the time traveler freed himself and got Enerjak's full attention with another massive strike. Tellling Jani-ca to use the Sword once he was done, the young hedgehog flew at Enerjak with all his might, intending to finish the fight once and for all. Engaging the corrupted Guardian in the sky above, Silver's onslaught was fierce and he eventually threw Enerjak off the island, only to countered by being hit from underneath with the island itself. He was quickly overwhelmed by a horde of new Prelates, but with Jani-Ca's help Silver was able to fight his way through them and reach Enerjak. Silver then encased him in his aura and dragged Enerjak across the island before hurling him into it far below, believing he went too far depsite his master's warning. (SU: #27, #28)

As Enerjak retaliated in vengeance with a bombardment of Chaos energy, Silver recalled his teachers' lessons and finally understood that he could not beat Enerjak with his own power, but instead could use it to outsmart him and turn his attacks back against him. This new strategy worked instantly, as Silver found Enerjak was completely vulnerable to each blast he returned, causing him great pain. Infuriated by the hedgehog's manipulations, Enerjak charged at Silver to crush him, only to be saved by Jani-Ca when she stunned him with her Sword and drained the tyrant's power into her. At first worried he had been tricked when she became another Enerjak, Silver was relieved to see that Jani-Ca still retained her old personality and desired to heal her world with this opportunity. Silver then graciously turned down her offer to help his world as he had yet to learn how it got ruined and departed home, wishing Jani-Ca luck while promisng to hold her to her word. After he reappered in front of a startled Edmund, Silver found the old Guardian still remembered him and asked if he had time to teach him more, as he realized other worlds might be depending on him too. (SU: #28)

Stuck in the PastEdit

Back in his own time period, Silver found a secret room behind a shelf in the library on Onyx Island. He used his psychokinesis to move the shelf, and he and Edmund entered the room. After Edmund playfully mocked Silver, Silver found a diary that once belonged to Antoine D'Coolette. Misinterpreting the remaining words from the torn pages of the diary, Silver was certain that Antoine was the Freedom Fighter traitor that he had been searching for. He then brought the book over to his other mentor, Mogul, and explained what he had come across. Mogul was concerned that Silver might again mess up in finding the traitor, and, after explaining what he remembered about his past, he warned Silver that there could be serious consequences for continuously time traveling. As a result, if Silver's latest hunch proved to be incorrect, he would have to remain in the past until he found the traitor and fixed the future. Accepting the conditions, Silver took the notes from his master on how to return to the future once his mission was complete, and Mogul sent Silver into the past through the use of the Time Stone. (StH: #235)

Arriving in the past, Silver began his search for Antoine. He noticed Rotor Walrus comforting NICOLE, and, while speaking quietly to himself, he apologized to Rotor for his previous accusation, referring to him as "Boomer" in the process. Sonic the Hedgehog noticed Silver outside his house, and, when Sonic asked him what he was doing, Silver explained that he was sure that Antoine was the traitor. Sonic, who was already sad about losing Sally Acorn and Antoine, broke through the wall and window of his own home to attack Silver and quickly drag him all the way to Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital where the unconscious and hospitalized Antoine was. Silver was shocked to find that he had again messed up and began reading through the diary to try to make sense of things. Sonic then found the note left behind by Bunnie Rabbot-D'Coolette saying that she had left, resulting in Silver wondering if Bunnie was the traitor. Sonic became enraged at Silver's accusations and attempted to attack him, but Silver stopped him in mid-air with his psychokinesis. Sonic yelled at him that none of the Freedom Fighters were traitors because they were his trusted friends and to go home. Silver explained that he could not return to his future, so Sonic told him to just go away. Now depressed over his constant failure to find the traitor and save his future, Silver sat on a bench outside wondering what to do, especially now that so many people in the past knew of him, which could possibly result in major paradoxes. Harvey Who came across the distraught Hedgehog, and, after learning that he was the time-traveling hedgehog that he had heard about, he offered Silver the chance to join the Secret Freedom Fighters, where Silver can fight to save the world and his future and ensure that his name and actions would not spread. Excited over this opportunity, Silver gladly accepted. (StH: #235)

PersonalityEdit

Silver has a strong sense of justice and it is this personality trait that motivates him to head back into the past to correct the future to help his people at whatever the cost. However, this eagerness to do good is coupled with a strong naivety; he often jumps to conclusions and readily believes anything he's told. Thus he is prone to manipulation and making poor decisions; he often benefits from having someone to assist and guide him in his actions. Somewhat awkward, he has a tendency of hiding behind bravado. While determined to do the right thing, he lacks ruthlessness and sometimes has trouble figuring out the best way to attain his goals. He's also noticeably shy and somewhat polite. This kindliness often clashes with his sense of justice. Silver's sense of justice goes deeper than just saving the future, though. Regardless of his own goals, he is unable to ignore those in need of help and will put his own missions aside if there's someone in danger.

AbilitiesEdit

Silver's main power is his psychokinesis, which allows him to lift, throw, hold and move objects (and people) easily with a thought, though repeated and extreme use can cause strain. While he has his limits, he can often affect multiple targets at once. His abilities are particularly effective against machinery, and he can also use them on himself to enable him to not only hover but fly. Silver can also capture objects in an orb of psychokinesis and crush them while inside and not let anything get out, like he did with the missile fired at King Sonic and his family. In moments of anger or stress, he can call upon a massive amount of power, allowing him to induce and explosive wave and making the material in his hold take a different form like a giant fist. He can also perform limited telepathy, but all he can do at the moment is give someone a headache and talk with another telepath inside his head, but the latter leaves him with a migraine. This particular skill can be enhanced while using specialized equipment though. He has also learned to manipulate the energies of artifacts known as the Time Stones, though originally he relied on a Super Warp Ring to travel through time and space.

Background informationEdit

• When Silver was first introduced into the comic universe, it was in a similar way to the games universe Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). He went back in time to kill Sonic because he would cause the destruction of his world as the Iblis Trigger. This was later proven false just like the games.
• Which, in a way, also happened in the comics. As Ian Flynn stated that he is "treating [the comic] as if Sonic06 already happened. Since its story effectively makes itself never happen, [he's] saying that it did happen in the book - which is to say it didn't." (1)
• In StH: #194, #195 and in SU: #6-8, Silver had a cyan colored talk bubble, but in StH: #196 and SU: #5, it is green. And in StH: #215 and #216, his speech bubbles are black like everone else's.
• In StH: #194, the sides of his boots are dark blue, in StH: #195 and 196 they are teal, in StH: #196 and SU: #5 the circle symbol on his gloves are green, and in SU: #6 the sides of his boots are black on the first page then indigo the rest of the comic and the circle symbols on his gloves are sky blue.

AppearanceEdit

Silver is a very light gray (almost white) with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck with yellow eyes and tan skin. He wears white gloves with cyan circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his golden bracelets accented in cyan. The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. The rest of his boots are navy blue, white and cyan. He has two large spines at the back of his head, while at the front of his forehead there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two final ones covering up most of his ears. The glow from his telekinesis is cyan, though it has often been miscolored green.

Possible DescendantEdit

• Some fans have speculated that Silver could possibly be the descendant of Sonic, Shadow, Amy or another famous hedgehog, but this has not been confirmed. Evidence to support this theory for the game universe appeared in Sonic and the Black Knight, where Silver was depicted as Sir Galahad, the son of Sir Lancelot who was played by Shadow the Hedgehog, indicating a possible hint at Silver's heritage.
• When writer Ian Flynn was asked if he was going to reveal who Silver was descended from, he said "No". He went on to further explain that he is "not touching or even hinting at that in fear of Sega will make it official and make [him] look stupid. That said, [he doesn't] think Sega will ever delve into Silver's back-story. Short of cameo appearances or non-main-series games, [he] think[s] we've seen the last of him. All that said, [he's] sure [Silver]'ll remain a familiar face. And given how much SegaSonic parallels Dragon Ball Z, [he]'d wager Silver is somehow descended from Shadow and Amy. He also said that people should not ask him "how that'd work", and that he was "just going off the patterns," indicating, that it may not be possible. (1)
• However there have also been thoughts that Silver could possibly be the descendant of Shadow and Rouge, due to various clues and evidence in appearences and personalities. Although Sega may not intend to reveal who Silver really is, it is still a possibility.
