Hey everyone!
Welcome back to top 10 gaming, the channel where we list of the best of the best in gaming.
And Sonic, apparently.
There’s a lot of sonic.
Because that’s what you guy keep asking for.
Which is exactly what this list is about!
Today we’re counting down the top 10 fastest sonic villains.
We’ll be taking a look at characters from primarily the games but a few of these numbers
will be from the Sonic Archie comics, too.
With that in mind, let’s jump in!
10 Eclipse Eclipse the Darkling is a spin off Sonic character
who exists in the Archie comics.
He’s a super soldier created by the Black Arms in an attempt to craft their own version
of Shadow the hedgehog.
Aside from having a slew of Dark Arm Powers that give him amped up armour, flight via
wings, lasers and a cannon that shoots sonic blasts, he’s also pretty damn fast, modeled
as a creature with abilities to rival those of Shadow’s.
9 Wave the Swallow Wave is one of the Babylon Rogues; a group
of criminals we first meet during Sonic Riders who specialize in using Extreme Gear – hover
boards – to commit their crimes, along with winning races.
Wave is the Extreme Gear expert of the group, and is a highly adept Extreme Gear rider,
speculated to be one of the best in world, and a legendary wind master, moving at high
speeds even when the wind is hectically strong.
8 Omega E-123 Omega is a robot that was created by
Dr Eggman, intended to be evil, but ended up being neutral.
Similar to the other members of Team Dark, he’s not really a villain, but did act as
an antagonist at one point in time, however brief that may have been.
He’s more of a physically strong character, classified as a Power Type, but he’s also
equipped with jet boosters, and is capable of speeds that almost rival Shadow.
7 Mecha Sonic First introduced in Sonic and Knuckles, Mecha
Sonic was the second robotic replica of Sonic created by Robotnik, and has two goals; to
destroy sonic and knuckles, and to steal and absorb the powers of the Master Emerald.
Being modelled after sonic, Mecha is fast, but can’t quite keep up with the Blue Blur.
6 Jet the Hawk Jet the Hawk is another one of the Babylon
Rogues, and is the fastest of the group.
An expert Extreme Gear rider, known for his mastery of it, he’s got an intense rivalry
with Sonic.
He’s made it his goal to prove that he is the fastest thing in the universe, but has
yet to beat Sonic in a race without cheating.
5 Scourge Known as Anti-Sonic, Scourge is another Archie
comics character, and is the Moebius counterpart of Sonic from an alternate universe.
While he’s changed in appearance over the years, one thing has always remained the same
with scourge – he can achieve the same average speed as Sonic, and shares many of the same
abilities.
He can also transform into a Super form like Sonic.
4 Robotnik While Robotnik may not be inherently fast,
his inventions over the years have made him more speedy and mobile in general when facing
off against Sonic and friends.
He’s given himself enhanced speed and enhanced strength on multiple occasions, keeping up
with Sonic and posing a solid challenge to the hedgehog multiple times.
He’s even proven himself to be able of speeding around on Extreme Gear.
It’s also worth noting that in his early days, despite his heft, he was able to chase
Sonic on foot and almost kept up, too.
3 Mephiles (mef-fill-is) Mephiles the Dark is one of the primary antagonists
in Sonic 06, and is the evil conscience, mind and will of the sun god Solaris.
So you can imagine the kind of power a deity like that would harbour, especially when it
comes to speed.
Mephiles shapeshifted himself into Shadow’s image, he can manipulate and move through
time, and is the only character known to have ever killed Sonic, which, despite shooting
him down when his back was turned, takes a lot of skill in general.
2 Shadow While Shadow is arguably one of the fastest
characters in the Sonic universe, and technically a good guy anti-hero these days, back when
he first appeared on the scene in Sonic Adventure 2 he was an antagonist.
Shadow’s speeds are practically equal to Sonic’s.
His air shoes are a big part of that; sometimes referred to as hover shoes, these rocket propelled
shoes allow Shadow to move at even faster speeds than physically possible.
1 Metal Sonic Metal sonic is obsessed with defeating Sonic
and proving himself to be the better of the two.
Aside from his creator Eggman, he’s the big bad that has shown up the most frequently
in the series, and his whole purpose is to destroy the blue blur.
While Sonic has defeated him multiple times, Metal Sonic has always proven to be a worthy
opponent, especially when racing.
Due to the extreme accuracy Eggman used when creating him, Metal Sonic’s speeds match
Sonic’s, and hes even proved to surpass Sonic’s speed by overloading his circuits,
although it’s a speed he can’t maintain for an overly long time without risking fatal
damage.
There we have it friends!
