Character: Sonic the Hedgehog Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (games)
Interesting things about the character: - Canonically, his top speed is unknown. Many say that it's Mach 1 (over 700 MPH), but it's very flimsy as to how fast he is. - Has four transformed states - Super, Hyper (Sonic 3 and Knuckles), Darkspines (Sonic and the Secret Rings) and Excalibur (Sonic and the Black Knight) - Suffers from a massive case of aquaphobia. How bad? In the first Mario and Sonic game, Sonic wears a lifevest in his swimming events! - Remember how he loved to eat chili dogs in the cartoons and comics? Canon. - Despite what you've seen, Sonic lives on Earth, not Mobius. As well, he wasn't brown when he first appeared. Interesting things about the canon/fandom: - Sonic's celebrating his 20th Anniversary this year! Happy birthday, blue man. He also shares this anniversary with the Super Robot Wars franchise! - Sonic has had at least one appearance in every current next-gen game system. - He has five animated series - Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, SatAM, Sonic Underground, the OVAs and Sonic X. He also has/had two comic series - the Archie and the Fleetway series. - Next year is the 20th anniversary of Sonic 2 and the first appearances of Tails and Super Sonic. Also sharing that anniversary? The Tenchi Muyo franchise, the Sailor Moon anime and the Death of Superman storyline. - SONIC The Hedgehog/Sonic 2006 is the most reviled game of the franchise, due to a shitstorm of mistakes, including a rushed game and the plot in which a human princess falls in love with and later kisses Sonic! - Sonic's VA collection includes some well-known faces, including Jaelle White (Steve Urkel of Family Matters), Masami Kikuchi (Tenchi Masaki himself), Jason Griffith (4Kids VA) and Roger Craig Smith (amongst others? Chris Redfield)
