Now lets jump into today's list of the Top 10 Scary Knuckles Facts
#10 Translate Ancient Text As the Sonic the hedgehog series started to
gain traction with fans, SEGA decided it was time to interject some ancient lore into the
Sonic Universe.
This meant that the already complicated Sonic storylines would now have deep ties to their
ancient relatives and therefore unlock new secrets in the already established zones.
This made travelling through these hidden ancient areas more difficult though for the
characters, however Knuckles stood out among the crowd.
Knuckles may seems all brawn and no brains, but when it comes to deciphering ancient text
he is a master of it.
This fact unlocks a scary part of Knuckles intelligence that we've never known before
until the introduction of the ancient Sonic Universe lore.
The reason I'm suggesting its scary is that if Knuckles is the only one who can translate
the ancient text than he also becomes the sole provider of the messages.
If ever a moment came up where Knuckles wanted to turn on his friends to score some sweet
treasure he could mislead them with little to no effort at all.
He protecc, he attacc, but more important here's another Knuckles fact
#9 Sense The Chaos When Sega introduced Knuckles into the Sonic
Universe they put him in a pretty substantial role.
He was introduced as the guardian of the Master Emerald, a job that should not be taken lightly
because well its the most powerful relic on Earth.
Within the Master Emerald is unbound and infinite power and can do everything from power machinery
to enable the chaos powers which initiate a characters super transformation.
Now such a guardian would need to be well equipped to handle such a task and that's
where things get a little scary.
Knuckles needs to have his eyes on the prize at all times whether it gets lost or stolen.
So because of that one of his most valuable abilities is being able to sense the energy
of not just the Master Emerald, but all of the Chaos Emeralds.
This means that if you ever try to steal one of them you can be sure that Knuckles wont
be far behind.
Knuckles also stands as one of the very few remaining Emerald Detectors which is good
and bad.
If he decided to turn to the dark side his abilities could be used in more than just
a nefarious manner.
#8 Survive Any Impact If you needed another reason to be scared
of Knuckles chasing you down for a Chaos Emerald well here it is.
Unlike Sonic who while protecting the world has taken his fair share of hits putting him
into a pretty winded state, Knuckles is extremely durable.
Not only does he have super strength, but he can endure the same amount of damage that
he can dish out.
This is startling to learn, could you imagine smacking Knuckles only for him to be completely
unfazed by it.
I think I would just curl into the the fetal position.
Knuckles has proven his durability many times in the past, most notably when a bomb exploded
in his face which barely left a paper cut sized scratch.
Oh and lets not forget the time he was outside of Earths atmosphere, fell back to the Earth
and still survived.
If Knuckles ever retired from guarding the Master Emerald we think he would do well with
a sponsorship from Red Bull.
#7 Create Fissures Now you may be thinking, so what hes strong,
a lot of characters in the Sonic universe have great strength.
Well not too many of those characters can get as creative with their strength as Knuckles
the Echidna can.
He is so powerful that if he punches the ground it can trigger a volcanic eruption.
Throughout the sonic series Knuckles has used this power even on minor levels to create
small shockwaves and even fissures.
Fissures usually are large cracks in the ground that are caused by the soil surface tensing
due to the lowering of the ground surface elevation.
This means he can punch so incredible hard that it actually pushes that piece of the
earth downwards resulting in large cracks to form.
This can come in handy when wanting to catch an enemy.
Someone could be trying to run from Knuckles and he could just create a fissure that would
swallow them into the soil.
#6 Summon Lightning Many people speculate that because Knuckles
is the guardian of the Master Emerald that naturally it makes perfect sense that he would
also have supernatural abilities in his repertoire.
Regardless of how he got them, he puts them to good use in Sonic Adventure 2 where we
saw Knuckles calling down a bolt of lighting to strike whomever he so chooses with just
a wave of his hand.
Sonic has insane speed which were sure terrifies his competition and enemies, but what would
be even more nerve racking would be squaring off against someone who essentially has the
same powers as Thor.
This is only one of the many supernatural powers that the echidna can utilize, but even
if it was his only one suffice to say that he would be one guardian you wouldnt want
to play games with.
#5 Climb On Walls Bordering on the line of the exorcist with
this scary fact.
Due to the immense power that Knuckles has in his hands he has learned to harness it
for tasks that don't require just smashing things to bits.
Knuckles the echidna can actually tone down his strength just enough to push his digits
into the sides of any landscape.
This means hes can come at you like a spider monkey!
Knuckles can scale any wall and even a ceiling with absolute ease as he does it.
This skill definitely comes in handy when searching for treasure, there is literally
no mountain that Knuckles cannot scale to find it.
#4 Punch Through Anything Sure Sonic did an okay job throwing punches
in Super Smash Bros, but the real sonic universe MVP should have been Knuckles.
His super strength as I mentioned can trigger a volcanic eruption and create fissures which
means hes so powerful he can punch his way out of any problem.
He can literally punch through anything and everything.
Toss a mountain at him?
Hell split it into pebbles with a single haymaker.
This super ability means bad news bears for any opponent that tries to take him out even
from a distance.
Eggman is always building some new and improved giant robot to take Knuckles down, but no
matter what material they're made from they don't stand a chance against a character who
is literally named Knuckles.
#3 Split Molecules Now its important to note that Knuckles doesn't
just pack a serious punch, he also can throwdown so fast that our eyes wouldn't even be able
to process whats happening.
Due to the intense speed that he can punch with his fists have even engulfed in flames
making his punches that much more deadly and well flammable.
Now at face value you assume that his fists catch fire due to some sort of friction, but
you would only be partly correct on that assumption.
He punches as such a ridiculous speed that what hes actually doing is splitting air molecules.
When an air molecule is split it results in a massive explosion and now take into consideration
that he can do this with both fists.
#2 Take On The Army This is one of those facts that makes you
say ohhhh no.
If an army cant defeat Knuckles, its scary to think of what must be stronger than that
to get the job done.
As i've mentioned Knuckles has great durability which also means that he can continue fighting
without even breaking a sweat.
This echidna does not get tired as he takes on even the mightiest of enemies, including
an entire army of foes.
In the past Knuckles has showcased this by tossing punches, dodging attacks and always
remaining three steps ahead of his enemy.
This amount of stamina combined with his endurance, durability and shear strength means that the
SEGA gods chose the right guy to protect the Chaos Emeralds.
#1 Control The Earth Now we don't mean in the sense of moving the
Earth throughout the universe, moreso in the sense of being able to utilize the Earth and
its forces.
Again its speculated that the Master Emerald perhaps has a lot to do with this ability,
but nonetheless its a scary one.
If Knuckles ever takes a hit that's too much for him to handle he can simply use the Earth
to heal himself in the moment.
Plus in addition to being able to call down bolts of lightning from the heavens, Knuckles
can also call in a storm of meteors to strike anyone hes having issues with.
So combine the fact that he has the Master Emeralds powers and can tap into the forces
of the Earth and this little echidna is in God mode.
And that has been the Top 10 Scary Knuckles Facts.
