Chaos Powers

Chaos Powers are abilities to manipulate Chaos Energy in various ways. The Chaos Powers are used by multiple characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and their use differs between the different canons. The most frequent user of Chaos Powers is Shadow the Hedgehog.

Archie Comics
Various other Chaos Powers variations have appeared in the Archie Comics, where a wider array of characters possess the capacity to utilize Chaos energy. At their most basic, these techniques include lightning bolts, force fields and teleportation. More advanced wielders, such as Mammoth Mogul or Enerjak can achieve mind control and molecular dissection. The teleportation ability appears to be a subtly different form of Chaos Control.

All Chaos Powers in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series come from the greatest power in the universe, the Chaos Force, a mystical energy field that serves as wellspring for all Chaos powers.

Sonic X
In Sonic X, a few well-known Chaos Powers made their appearances, such as Chaos Control and Chaos Spear. Such moves was mainly used by Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog and their super transformation forms (Super Sonic and Super Shadow respectively).

In episode 78, Super Sonic and Super Shadow displayed a unique technique called Chaos Regeneration (Japanese version only, the English version never mentioned the name) to save Cosmo, their plant-type anthropomorphic ally, from certain death. As demonstrated in the episode, it is not quite as effective as its title would suggest, because all they managed to produce from their efforts was a small seed. It is unlikely that this Chaos power will appear in a game due to the cartoon's significant yet limited relevance to the games' overall storyline. The same power, though displayed at a more limited degree and unnamed, was possibly used by Sonic to cure Chris from injuries sustained during the battle with the Eggsternimator and from Shadow aboard Space Colony ARK.
