Iblis (Archie)


 * This article is about the character who appeared in the Archie Comics. For the character who appeared in the game Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), see Iblis.

Iblis is a destructive fire spirt and is the fiery power and destructive nature of the god Solaris.

History
Iblis was a energy spirit born during an experiment when Solaris, the god of time, light, and fire, was split into two halves - Mephiles, who consisted of Solaris' power and intelligence, and Iblis, who consisted of the god's fiery power and destructive nature. The Duke of Soleanna, who had been experimenting with Solaris, along with his researchers, had no other option but to use the power of a Chaos Emerald to seal the energy spirit within his daughter, Princess Elise, dying in the process himself. Iblis would then remain sealed inside the princess until Elise gave into despair. Mephiles, who was trapped within a device called the Scepter of Darkness by Shadow the Hedgehog, was released ten years later and created a plan that spanned over two hundred years, which resulted in the release of Iblis among other things. With the power of the Chaos Emeralds, Mephiles rejoined Iblis and Solaris was reborn. Iblis' existence was ultimately erased when Sonic the Hedgehog and Elise traveled back in time to the days before Solaris was experimented upon and snuffed out the tiny flame, thus ending Solaris', and Iblis', existence.
