Shadow rides a motorcycle fighting evil, like Ghost Rider

Rouge likes to steal things, like the Black Cat

and Gamma is bent on revenge, like Ultron. You mean Omega? Gammas successor.

Going as far as to say Shade is a rip-off of Julie-Su and that Imperator Ix is a rip-off of Dr. Finitevus. However they are not as similar as he claims, Shade has a completely different personality than that of Julie-Su and Imperator Ix has a lot of differences from Finitevus. In addition, Ken Penders technically ripped off Doctor Zachary from Sonic the Comic in some ways when making Finitevus... Yeesh I've already gone too far on this.

Technically, One could say that Chaos Gamma isn't E-102 Gamma though, they do look the same but it is stated by a few characters that Chaos Gamma might just be using some of E-102's parts. It's still a bit irksome since it makes E-102's death almost moot (It adds to his character in my opinion), but Chaos Gamma has never returned so it's not too much of a problem. Ken Penders has fallen to Chris Chan levels of $#!7tery that Sega should not solly their hands too. In Sega's defence, Chronicles takes place a few years after the canon of the games which is a universe completely seperate from the games. That said just because Nocturne Clan appears similar to the Dark Legion, especially particular members, it is still regarded as seperate.

Not only that but Sega also has ownership of the Sonic comics and it's contents. They can and very well had SatAM Sonic characters appear in their games and can impliment other foreign Sonic characters if they wish. They just choose not too to keep canon seperate from comics and TV shows. But they still pretty much paid Ken Penders cheques.

In fact I wish Archie comics will introduce Shade the Echidna as Knuckles love interest, Noctune Clan as exhiled echidna legion and Ix as new Technomage, just to give Ken Penders the big finger for screwing Archie Sonic comic over.

Heck Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood might very well take place on post-SGW Mobius. It certainly has the makings for it. SWATbots, Metropolis, questionable geography, the works.
