Lightning Wispon (IDW)

The Lightning Wispon is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a Wispon that is themed after the Ivory Wisp.

Appearance
Modeled after the Ivory Wisp, the Lightning Wispon is an ivory and gold-colored Wispon shaped as a lightning bolt. It has a black barrel that attaches the lightning bolt-shaped piece to a white handle that allows the wielder to hold it in a comfortable grip. It also has a hole on the bottom of the lightning bolt-shaped piece that resembles the eye of the Ivory Wisp.

Features and abilities
The Lightning Wispon's signature function is its ability to hold Ivory Wisps inside it and harness their energies to power itself; without a Ivory Wisp inside it, the Lightning Wispon is useless.

Past
Shortly before the end of the war between the Resistance and the Eggman EMpire, a town that distributed Lightning Wispons got taken over by the mercenaries Rough and Tumble, who took all the town's Wispons and Wisps for themselves.

Fallout
When Rough and Tumble's town got invaded by Sonic and Knuckles, Tumble tried using a Lightning Wispon against the heroes when it came to blows between them. However, his Lightning Wispon was left without power when Sonic convinced the Wisps in the villains' Wispons to betray Rough and Tumble. After the two villains were defeated, the town's Lightning Wispons were returned to their owners.
