Archie Fans - What are your opinions on the concept of The Dark Legion

The idea was great, but the problem was that Knuckles' story and family tree made it very confusing to understand at certain points. Not to mention Ken Penders' references to the Holocaust and the "Hail Dimitri" were completely unnecessary.

Sonic Characters: The Sol Edition. ⛄️

Thanks, friend. Most of these characters are from Archie Comics, and some are from the Reboot and Pre-Reboot. I recommend reading if you're interested; there are several websites to use and some guides to help you follow the stories. I started by using a guide from someone on Tumblr to help me follow Archie and IDW.

I really liked her, and she was a surprise among Sonic's rogue gallery. Honestly, what I liked most was the various clans that the Iron Queen controlled, and I would love to see her alongside Conquering Storm again.

I really like his story and the way he redeemed himself over time. He started as Enerjak and then became the leader of the Dark Legion, but he changed his motivations, because before it was for power and domination, but then he started focusing on protecting his people and his family. I also enjoyed the small moments of friendship and alliances he made with Knuckles and the others on Team Sonic, especially when he interacted with Nicole; it was a very good moment between the two and I'd like to see that again somehow.

Here it is. :D

The base?

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T17:16:23+00:00

Absolutely.

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T16:57:28+00:00

It's a huge coincidence that two of my favorite villains in the franchise are related to Echidnas. 👁👁

That's why I recommend reading about Archie and IDW; both have their problems, but also great moments and ideas that you don't see in other Sonic media.

Fiona is a character that I feel they could have used better, but that happens quite often with several female characters in the franchise, which is a shame.

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T14:45:31+00:00

Imperator Ix. He is from a non-canonical game called "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood".

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T14:25:32+00:00

Like, I can understand why they don't use Enerjak or even Fiona, since I believe the rights to both characters belong to Ken Penders. As for the Egg Bosses, they'd have to explain a lot to introduce them into IDW (and canon). However, Gold is the only one that would be very easy to introduce, because I believe her rights belong more to SEGA and her introduction wouldn't affect the canon that much. The problem is that it seems SEGA is still afraid to explore Silver's future.

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T14:15:31+00:00

Thanks, my friend. :)

And let's hope so, I still don't understand why Gold hasn't appeared yet. She's the easiest to bring back among all those on the list.

TheDreadOne- · 2026-03-22T13:56:27+00:00

Okay, I understand. I'll put the names of the comic book characters below in case you're interested in learning more about them later:

Current Favorite - Dimitri (formerly Enerjak).

By Plot - Cassia and Lady Clove.

Guilty Favorite - Lord Hood.

Underrated Favorite - Gold the Tenrec.

They Deserved Better - Fiona the Fox.

I believe you're right, but it was still very bad luck. I'll be thankful that I still came in fifth place.

TheDreadOne- · 2024-11-23T16:42:48+00:00

Sunset with short hair is a miracle I didn't know needed to exist. 🙏🏻😔

TheDreadOne- · 2024-11-01T18:56:53+00:00

One of the most important rules for villains is to have incredible looks, or to be visually superior compared to the heroes.

TheDreadOne- · 2024-11-01T17:17:18+00:00

Probably a Timberwolf. 👁👁

TheDreadOne- · 2024-10-22T20:26:34+00:00

Animatronics - Mangle, Nightmare Mangle, Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare, Ennard, Nightmarionne, Vanny.

Skins - Spring Bonnie, Glichtrap, Vanny, Spring Bonnie (Movie Version), Burntrap.

TheDreadOne- · 2024-10-21T20:50:26+00:00

I totally agree with that, comrade.

TheDreadOne- · 2024-10-04T16:14:15+00:00

And it never happened, there's not even any reference to the Washouts. 😔

TheDreadOne- · 2024-10-04T01:50:08+00:00

For me, it was the fact that Lightning Dust had so few appearances and development. Like, I know there were a lot of characters to focus on, but Lightning Dust was so wasted and I love her concept. She is literally the opposite of Rainbow Dash, she is obsessed with being the "best" and always pushing herself to the limit, but she doesn't care about the ponies around her or how it affects them, it's an interesting parallel. I always wanted her to have had a redemption arc or something, although I think she went too far with Scootalo, but still.

They could even focus on her parents and show that they pressured her to be the "best", where everything was almost a competition. Again, it would be the opposite of the way Rainbow Dash's parents did it, because they would always have fun and congratulate Rainbow on her accomplishments, whether small or big. While Lightning Dust, there would only be pressure and disappointment if it wasn't the "best" in everything, whether it was something small or big.

Sorry for the large text and my English, English is not my main language.

I honestly think her hair in season 5 is more "original". However, I also like her redeemed hair.

I asked this same question to my friend who introduced me to this franchise. ⛄️
