Yeah, I thought Scourge was a pretty cool character. He's basically like a true counterpoint to Sonic compared to Shadow.

He's also a bit iffy copyright-wise since he was "created" by Penders and was orignally basically nothing more than Sonic wearing a leather jacket appearance-wise. Then was turned into Scourge by Ian Flynn to make him more interesting and slightly more distinct.

Basically, he's based on Sonic, so while Penders somehow owns the rights to him (So he claims), he can't use him. On the flipside, since he's supposedly Penders', Archie can't use him either.

Makes my head hurt a bit.
