Black Assassin (Archie)

Black Assassin is an enemy appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by the Archie Comics. They are one of the Black Arms soldiers that worked under both Black Doom and Black Death's leads.

Appearance
Black Assassin looks like a more endurance version of the Black Warrior.It has three horns on the head, with an orange suit that extends to the shoulders. It also has a small tail on its back. Its skin color is the same as the Black Warrior, but with orange-red shades from the ankles to the feet, and from the humerus to the hands.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Huge members of Black Assassins joined Black Doom for the first invasion of Sonic's World and faced several factions. However, once Black Doom was slain by Shadow the Hedgehog, they died with him.

Shadow Fall
Few Black Assassins under Black Death's control joined for a new invasion of Sonic's World onboard the New Black Comet, where they fought against Team Dark and the Spider Troupe who invaded the New Black Comet. Despite Shadow temporarily joining their side, the Black Assassins could not stop the invaders from blowing up the New Black Comet with a nuclear warhead while Shadow killed Black Death, resulting in the Black Assassins' end.

Personality
Like most Black Arms soldiers, the Black Assassins have no actual personality of their own and are but an extension of their hive-mind's ruler.

Powers and abilities
Black Assassins are described a the "Black Arms Elite" hinting a great evolution between it and the other Black Arms in physical strength and capabilities. They wield the "Black Sword" that they use to attack their enemies.

Weakness
Like all the other Black Arms, the Black Assassins' lives are connected to the hive-mind of their kind. That meant that if their hive-mind dies, so will they.

Trivia

 * Unlike their game's counterpart, the Black Assassins in the comics wield the "Black Sword" instead of the "Refractor".
