Now lets get into today's video of the Top 10 Scary Scourge The Hedgehog Facts
#10 How He Turned Green Back in the day Scourge used to look exactly
like Sonic the Hedgehog, with the only differences being the leather jacket and retro sunglasses.
However, when he attempted to steal the Master Emerald with his partner Rouge the Bat things
went horribly wrong.
Scourge managed to utilize the chaos energy to become stronger, but it ultimately led
to him being punched by Locke.
While being struck in the middle of absorbing the emeralds energy it transformed the character
blue fur into green, finally separating him from his Mobius counterpart.
#9 He Had A Distant Father Scourge never really had a terrific relationship
with his father Anti-Jules Hedgehog even from the young age of 7.
Around that time his father was pushing the idea of Great Peace in the dimension known
as Anti-Mobius.
This work kept his father so busy that Scourge never really saw him that much and even referred
to his own dad as - a man with empty words - Which just makes you feel bad for the Evil
Sonic, even for a moment.
He sounds like a kid that waited for his parents to pick him up from school and ended up having
to walk home.
#8 He Killed His Father After his father Anti-Jules established the
Great Peace it surprisingly led to the decline and apparent stagnation of Anti-Mobius.
Now that ten years had passed and the dimension was at its lowest point, Scourge saw this
as a moment to take matters into his own hands.
Seeing how weak Anti-Mobius had become he killed his own father to make seizing power
of the dimension that much easier.
Although he did not stop there, along with Anti-Sally the two threw King Anti-Max into
the Zone of Silence and seized control of Mobotropolis as well.
#7 Hes Done Jail Time As you would imagine someone with the name
Evil at the start of their name will most likely be up to no good and Scourges nefarious
actions have gotten him into trouble a number of times.
For starters, while Sonic and his crew were in the Negative Reality attempting to rescue
King Max, The Anti-Freedom Fighters showed up in Mobius Prime and assumed the identites
of their well intentioned counterparts.
When Sonic returned and saw the havoc that they caused he sent them all back to Anti-Mobius.
It was a fair warning, but the following events didnt pan out like that.
Now with a focused rivalry on Sonic and wanting to get back at him he teamed up with Robo
Robotnik to collect the Giant Borg Battle-Suit to defeat his enemy.
However he was trapped on Mobius, then freed by Sonia and Manic.
Not long after that he was captured yet again and this time was imprisoned in the No Zone
by Zonic the Zone Cop.
#6 He Manipulates Women When performing another switch with his Mobius
Counterpart he made romantic advances on Bunnie Rabbot and then Amy Rose and then a number
of other girls that lived in Knothole.
His final play was to focus on getting control of Rouge the Bat who he found to be the most
attractive looking on Mobius Prime.
Although Rouge the Bat knew that Scourge sought to use her as well, but ultimately ended up
helping the Evil Sonic escape when Sonic showed up to do battle.
Soon their romantic interest in each other was surpassed by greed when it came down to
getting control of the Master Emerald.
When the two fought with Locke, Rouge received the brunt of the Guardians anger, giving Scourge
the perfect opportunity to steal the emerald for himself.
#5 He Changed His Name As I mentioned before when Scourge attempted
to steal the Master Emerald, Locke interrupted by striking him with a Chaos-infused punch
right before he reached full super status.
It took Scourge a moment to recover from the crushing blow, but once the transformation
begun, he now had two marks on his chest from Lockes attack, his fur was green and more
importantly his strength was enhanced far beyond his counterpart Sonic.
He then declared himself - a real Scourge - this moment was pivotal because it freed
him from this evil-twin identity that he had been latched to since the character inception.
#4 He Was Bullied Now Ive been talking a big game about Scourge
for the last few points and many of you may assume that he must be this supremely confident
character, but hes been bullied as well.
While in prison Scourge was subjected to wearing a Control Collar and even having his spikes
cut down.
This put the once ruler of Anti-Mobius at the bottom of the food chain in the prison
system and made him an easy target for bullying.
It left him with little to no hope, he even feared being beaten up for trying to form
a gang of his own.
Fiona though came to his rescue under the terms that if she helped him escape they would
have to work for Dr. Finitevus.
Although plans changed once he escaped, declaring that he was the leader now and that his new
gang would start making plans on both of the Mobius dimensions.
#3 His Personality is Pure Evil Scourge represents a lot of the same traits
as Sonic, just with a darker tone and flipped around a bit.
For starters, Sonic has a lot of friends and enjoys their company, where Scourge has no
close friends and just sees anyone in his company as pawns to assist him in proving
his power.
Another key example of this is when it comes down to battles.
Where Sonic just sees them as a sport, Scourge will fight to further display his dominance
and does this namely by inflicting some pretty excruciating pain on his opponents.
Plus if given the opportunity hes not above killing them as well.
#2 He Can Achieve Super Form Before his transformation Scourge displayed
a lot of the same powers and abilities as Sonic.
They both averaged the same speed of 760 miles per hour and could do their trademark spin
dashes.
Once the transformation happened to Scourge though he acquired enhanced strength and stamina.
This was put on display in comic number 161 where he fought both Sonic and Shadow simultaneously.
Much like Sonic he can also take on a Super Form.
However with the chaos energy hes absorbed his super form changes his fur into a dark
purple with the irises of his eyes becoming a glowing red.
#1 He is a Classic Character Scourge has been around since the very beginning
of the Sonic Franchise.
When Archie Comics approached Sega in 1992 they saw the potential in developing a comic
book series based on the widely popular video game.
The direct evil counterpart for Sonic was developed and made his first appearance not
too long after in 1994.
At first he was written in as a bit of a cliche being that he was called Sonic's evil twin,
but what it ended up doing was allowing the creators to concoct literally hundreds of
other parallel Sonic universes.
By 2017 it was the longest comic book series based on a video game in the world, even the
Guinness Book of World Records approved of this.
