Silver the Hedgehog

Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Shirubā za Hejjihoggu) is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. He is a white hedgehog with powerful psychic abilities who hails from the future. Silver was created in order to utilize the new physics engine added to Sonic Next Gen.

Silver wears gold cuffs that go around his wrists and legs that are just a bit higher than his gloves and boots. Cyan lines encircle the cuffs, probably reassembling his ESP abilities. Silver's boots are indigo colored down the side and have teal-coloured tips. A white line goes straight down the middle to the teal tip. On the top of the middle of his shoe is a red adornment-like gem. The design on his gloves have a cyan circle that has a line at the bottom that goes down to his cuff. This helps him utilize his ESP.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
In a distant, post-apocalyptic future, where psychic abilities are the norm, Silver and his best friend and partner, the pyrokinetic Blaze, work together in constant attempts to defeat the fire demon Iblis; however, all of their attempts so far have been in vain, as Iblis is immortal and can ceaselessly resurrect himself. Frustrated with this, Silver desperately wonders how they can permanently destroy him, and are then approached by Mephiles, who tells them of the Iblis Trigger, the one responsible for the resurrection of Iblis, and reveals that they must kill him to prevent Iblis's return. He states that the Iblis Trigger is Sonic, and sends himself, Blaze, and Silver back in time to when Sonic was still alive, though Silver and Blaze are separated in the process. Silver finds Sonic after his ultimately failed attempt to save Princess Elise from Dr. Eggman during the Festival of the Sun, but is mistaken for Sonic himself by Amy and distracted before he can strike, and Amy decides to help him find the person he is looking for, though he is largely unwilling to accept her help. Eventually, he warms up to her and decides to help her in exchange for her help, though they don't know that they are both looking for the same person.

Soon afterward, Silver finds Sonic and attacks him. Sonic initially has the upper hand, and shows concern for him, even asking if he was okay, but Silver psychokinetically throws Sonic into a building, incapacitating him, and wonders if Mephiles was joking, wondering how someone as weak as Sonic apparently is could possibly cause the apocalypse that resulted in the destruction of his world. Sonic attempts to run after when Eggman captures Elise again, but Silver knocks him down and is about to deliver the coup de grace when Amy intervenes, allowing Sonic to escape. Silver tells Amy about the world's devastation due to Sonic's actions, but Amy refuses to believe that Sonic would ever do such a thing, says that she would choose Sonic over the world any day even if it was true, and immediately leaves Silver. Disheartened, Silver leaves to ponder over whether or not killing Sonic to save the future is truly the right thing to do.

Blaze finds Silver at the docks and, after some conversation, she convinces him that they need to save the future by any means necessary. After failing to track Sonic down at Eggman's snowy mountain base (though they acquire Elise's blue Chaos Emerald there), they encounter Mephiles, who tells them that Sonic is at the train station. After tracking him down, Silver paralyzes Sonic with his psychokinesis, allowing Eggman to capture Elise once again in the confusion, and is about to kill him when Shadow, whom Silver at first mistakes for Mephiles, intervenes, once again allowing Sonic to escape. The two fight to a standstill, and Shadow uses Chaos Control to evade Silver's intended punch and kicks Silver in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. Refusing to be defeated and desperate to save his world, Silver pulls out his Chaos Emerald and, much to Shadow's surprise, induces Chaos Control at the same time as Shadow, opening up a time portal to the Soleanna of ten years ago. Shadow tells Silver of Mephiles's true intentions, and they both decide to go back to the day that the Solaris Project went haywire and see what really happened.

Once they arrive, Shadow and Silver witness the project's failure first hand, with a machine exploding and the Duke of Soleanna getting badly injured while protecting Elise, then only seven years old, from the blast. The hedgehog duo splits up, Shadow pursuing Mephiles, and Silver pursuing Iblis, while the Duke gives Shadow the Scepter of Darkness to imprison Mephiles. Silver tracks down Iblis and paralyzes him with his psychokinesis, and the dying Duke (despite Silver's insistence that he run) seizes this opportunity to use a Chaos Emerald to seal Iblis within the unconscious body of his daughter, entrusting Silver to take her to a safe place and telling Elise not to cry, as doing so would release Iblis, in his dying words. Silver carries Elise out of the lab, meets up with Shadow, who has successfully captured Mephiles, and sets Elise down next to a nearby tree. Shadow leaves the Scepter of Darkness with Elise, knowing what becomes of it in the future, and they both open up another time portal to the present, which Shadow immediately jumps through. Silver, however, is just about to follow when he hears Elise call for her father in her sleep. Feeling sorry for her, Silver gives Elise his blue Chaos Emerald as a good luck charm, and then follows Shadow through the portal.

Upon their return, Silver reveals to Blaze that Mephiles had lied about Sonic being the Iblis Trigger and, realizing that Eggman may intend to release Iblis, they go to help Sonic save Elise from Eggman, arriving just in time to save Sonic from a small army of Eggman's robots; unsurprisingly, Sonic is somewhat wary of Silver at first, but graciously accepts his help nonetheless. However, they do not make it before the Egg Carrier crashes into a mountain and explodes, killing both Elise and Eggman. After a moment of grieving, Sonic and Silver use Chaos Control to allow Sonic to travel back in time to before the Egg Carrier exploded in order to save her, and Sonic gives Silver his Chaos Emerald in order for Silver and Blaze to return to their own time, which they do. Silver and Blaze defeat Iblis once more, and he attempts to use himself as Iblis's vessel; while he is not accepted, Blaze is, and she seals Iblis within herself and uses Chaos Control to teleport herself into another dimension to ensure that Iblis does not return, much to Silver's dismay and sadness.

Later on, after Mephiles kills Sonic and merges with Iblis, Silver is among the characters who are transported to Solaris's dimension, and they all work together to gather the Chaos Emeralds in order to resurrect Sonic and defeat Solaris. In the end, Sonic, Shadow, and Silver successfully destroy Solaris, and Sonic and Elise travel back in time to when Solaris was just a flame and extinguish him, erasing the game's events from history. What happened to Silver's world after this is unknown.

Sonic Rivals
Silver is another one of Sonic's rivals, backed by his confirmed playable appearance in Sonic Rivals. He is responding to a distress signal, though he doesn't know who is sending it. He later finds out that Eggman Nega is linked to this distress signal. Silver states that he will bring Eggman Nega back to the future where he belongs. He is also given two alternate costumes. As the events of Sonic the Hedgehog never happened, Silver and Sonic are introduced to each other for the first time, and it seems that Sonic has truly forgotten the events of the previous game (though it is implied at the end that he and Elise retain their memories of the events to some extent), as he does not seem to recognize Silver.

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Silver is a playable character in the game's party mode, though he has no role in the story.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Silver was originally intended to be playable, but was for some reason removed. He is only playable by hacking the game.

Sonic Rivals 2
Silver reappears in the sequel to Sonic Rivals. He comes from the future once again to save both the past and his own time, by hiding Chao so the Ifrit cannot reach full power. Espio, on orders from Vector, follows after Silver and eventually the two work together.

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity
Silver is a playable character in the sequel to Sonic Riders, but for a second time he is not involved in the story's plot. He is a Flight Type character and his default gear is Psychic Wave, which can turn into an Air Ride to access new areas.

Sega Superstars Tennis
Silver makes a brief cameo in the Green Hill Zone as a cheering audience member.

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Silver makes a brief cameo as a sticker and a trophy. He is also seen occasionally in the Green Hill Zone level as one of three characters running/hovering through the shuttle loop.

Sonic and the Black Knight
Silver appears as Sir Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table. However, he is not one of the three main Knights of the Round Table in the game and again only appears when he is unlocked in adventure mode for multiplayer. Curiously, Galahad's armored gloves have the same cyan circle like the ones on Silver's own gloves.

Silver appeared for the first time in Mobius Prime over Never Lake in Mercia, to the surprised Rob O' the Hedge and his wife Mari-An. Silver first believed Rob to be Sonic due to their similar appearance, but when Rob explained he wasn't him, Silver responded, telling him that he needed to find Sonic as "your future depends on it".

Rob O' the Hedge explained to Silver they could find Sonic at Freedom HQ. Using Silver's super Warp Ring, the two traveled there together. Silver and Rob arrived together to find Sally and Alicia arguing about stranding Sonic and Amy Rose in Moebius. Sally explained to them what had happened, and thus Silver transported himself to Moebius with Rob. Once there, the two hedgehogs met up with Sonic, Scourge, Amy, Rosy the Rascal, Metal Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog.

During the ensuing fight, Silver attempted to discover which one was Sonic, first by asking everyone. After being ignored, Silver captured everyone with his psychic powers and stated he has come to destroy Sonic, since in his future someone betrayed the Freedom Fighters and only Sonic was likely enough to have the power to do that. But Rob convinced him otherwise, saying that Sonic's heroism made it more likely that he wouldn't. Scourge then jumped in and attacked both of them, claiming that Silver should use his powers to give himself "a less-stupid haircut". Shortly afterward, Sonic made a proposal to everyone to stop attacking each other and strictly finish off Scourge. In response, Scourge used the Anarchy Beryl in his throne to transform into Super Scourge.

Silver tried to defeat Super Scourge but was temporarily knocked out like all the others. Shortly afterward when Super Scourge tried to defeat the Suppression Squad and Freedom Fighters after they came through the Star Posts from Mobius, Silver used his psychokinesis to grab and hold Scourge before he could injure the cowardly Miles, but Super Scourge managed to break free. Silver tried this again on Sally's orders so the others could pile on top of Super Scourge long enough for him to lose his super form, but Silver's power failed him yet again and Scourge threw the others off of him. Scourge was later defeated thanks to the quick thinking of Sonic, as the Anarchy Beryl drained Scourge of his strength when he powered down. Following this, Silver walked back with the others to Dr. Kintobor's tower and told Sonic that he would find the Freedom Fighter traitor and would be back before departing to his home time via Warp Ring.

Personality
Silver has "a strong sense of justice" and it is this personality trait that motivates him to head back into the past to correct the future. Also, he believes in standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves. This led him to accept Blaze when everybody else was teasing her for her pyrokinetic abilities. Although seemingly serious in nature, an interview states that Silver is young and slightly immature. Blaze actually comments on this, claiming that he is naive and insecure when alone several times. Before sacrificing herself she comments, "You're so naive. But...I've always liked that about you." Silver is also kind hearted and is always ready to protect those in need and lend a helping hand. Silver also has a disliking for anyone that gets in his way, most likely in Sonic Rivals 1&2, this could show that Silver can be rude and is not always kind hearted. Silver also has a disliking toward Sonic for some reason. Probably because he thinks Sonic is just as annoying and foolish as can be just like how Shadow feels about the blue hedgehog as well. He also seems to be somewhat cocky in Sonic Rivals 2 because when you play as him in Sonic Rivals 2 and pass your rival, he'll say, "I'm better." or if you win a race or battle: "Who's the best?" In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, one you win a race he says, "I am not to be trifled with!"

Weakness

 * Silver can be quite naive which could lead him up the wrong path.
 * His attitude can cause fights to start.
 * Sometimes tends to carry the world on his shoulders.
 * If he overuses his ESP, Silver can become extremely fatigued.
 * A bit simple minded.
 * Has a short temper.

Abilities
Silver, in his first appearance, possessed no super-speed like Sonic and Shadow. Starting with the retcon in Sonic Rivals, he is able to run at a comparable speed to them and can access Spin Dash and Homing Attack. In his original time line, with lava everywhere, Silver could not run anywhere, so he used his psychic powers and thus never gained any super-speed.

Silver's main power is his Psychokinesis, being able to lift or throw people and objects tremendous distances with great force. He can also manipulate himself, levitating in the air and even moving at high speeds, but not in the same league as Sonic and Shadow. He can also project energy blasts that can either stun or deal damage to others, teleport short distances, and even form a bubble of pure psychokinetic energies that paralyze his targets. In Sonic Rivals, he is also capable of using his ESP to confuse his enemies.

Like Sonic and Shadow, Silver has the ability to use Chaos Control, and is able to transform into a Super Form using all seven Chaos Emeralds.

Relationships

 * Blaze the Cat- She is from the same time as Silver. Although Blaze is shy around strangers and strict with herself, she works well with Silver as a partner. Blaze views Silver as a younger brother, and they constantly work together to fight Iblis in the future. Silver is also emotionally dependent upon Blaze. Before she vanishes from their world at the end of Silver's story in Sonic 06, Blaze reveals that she always liked how naive Silver was. After the retcon, it is unknown if they still know each other.


 * Amy Rose- In Sonic 06, Amy mistakes Silver for Sonic, but they then team up to help each other find the people they are looking for. They are unaware that they are both looking for the same person. Amy's alliance with Silver was only temporary. She became his friend and promised to help him find the "Iblis Trigger", but left him upon finding out that he intended to kill Sonic. Strangely, when they meet again after Sonic dies and Mephiles and Iblis fuse, she bears no particular malice towards him for his past actions. Because of the events at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog, Silver and Amy never met.


 * Sonic the Hedgehog - In Sonic 06, Sonic is referred to by Mephiles as being the "Iblis Trigger" that set Iblis free years before Silver's time. Silver is bent on stopping Sonic from unleashing Iblis onto the world, but befriends him after discovering that Mephiles had lied to him. Once Sonic dies, Silver realizes they can bring him back using the Chaos Emeralds. Since Elise blows out the Flames of Disaster at the end of the game, Sonic and Silver never met. In Sonic Rivals, he sees Sonic for the first time ever since the incident. Sonic first notices Silver's "attitude" when they first meet, and they don't exactly see eye-to-eye. In the end, the two help each other out during the last stage of the game. When they meet again Sonic Rivals 2, Silver is more competitive towards Sonic and his partner, Miles "Tails" Prower.


 * Mephiles the Dark - In Sonic 06, Mephiles uses Silver's frustration at the constant resurrection of Iblis to actually release him in the past. He informs Blaze and Silver that in the past, Sonic was "Iblis Trigger", and uses his powers to send them back in time in order to assassinate him.  In reality, Sonic's death would serve as the catalyst.  Silver initially believes Mephiles's lies, but his encounters with Sonic and the others begin to make him question his intentions.


 * Shadow the Hedgehog- The two first meet in Sonic 06, when he mistakes him for Mephiles. The two venture back in time together using a dimensional rift, and learn more about Iblis and the Solaris Project. Since the events of that game were erased, they don't canonically meet until Sonic Rivals. At first, Shadow does not trust Silver's speculations about Dr. Eggman's true identity. After realizing that he was right, the two form a bond and help each other in the Meteor Base.


 * Espio the Chameleon- Before they met, Espio was given an assignment by Vector the Crocodile to find out information about the recent Chao disappearances. He begins to investigate Silver, a suspect, which annoys him. The two eventually become partners in order to stop Eggman Nega and his plans. Once they completed their mission, the two bid each other farewell, in hopes of meeting each other again.


 * Knuckles the Echidna- Silver and Knuckles have somewhat of a rivalry with each other. Normally, they don't pay much attention to each other, though they do have heated battles with one another occasionally. Unlike most Sonic characters, Silver is one of the few to challenge him to a fight, instead of the other way around.

Trivia

 * Some fans think that Silver is based on (Future) Trunks of Dragon Ball Z, because both come from the future to fix something in the past, both lose someone they care about deeply in their futures (Gohan for Trunks and Blaze for Silver), and both gain something from their time in the past that helps them defeat their disaster (strength for Trunks and knowledge of how to defeat Iblis for Silver). His entry in the game script reveals that even his creators compare the two.
 * Official concept artwork released by Sonic Cult shows an early design of Silver. The main differences from the current final design include a long orange amount of chest hair around his neck, and bright blue eyes.  His boots are also quite different.  It is unknown however whether Yuji Uekawa, the main character designer of the Sonic series, actually produced the artwork.
 * More concept art of Silver was released in an interview with IGN, which was generally less similar to his current design. Notable designs include a hedgehog wearing a futuristic headset and another with markings on its hair.  It is also revealed that Silver was originally named "Venice" after Venice, Italy, the place Soleanna is based on.  He was also considered to be a mink, but that idea was later abandoned.  Silver is said to have gone through over 50 designs before reaching his final look.
 * The bridge in Silver's theme song bears a resemblance to the Green Hill Zone music. Composer Lee Brotherton stated that this was not intended, but is appreciated.
 * Interestingly, even though Silver never debuted story-wise on a Nintendo system, Super Smash Bros. Brawl references the events of Sonic Next Gen on Silver's trophy.
 * Due to his "unique" hairstyle, Silver is taller than most other non-human characters.
 * Silver's odd hairstyle has prompted many reactions on fan sites, including the labeling of Silver as a 'cockahog', or a cockateil and hedgehog cross, "Starfish Head", or gags involving other various sight puns.
 * In both Sonic Next Gen and Sonic Rivals, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese were going to play a part in his story, but later scrapped.
 * Silver's trophy in Smash Bros. looks very similar to Super Sonic's.
 * Silver bears an odd resemblance to Nazo.
 * Silver, unlike the other characters, has very little in the way of a back story. A large amount of his history is unknown.
 * Silver's feelings toward people seemed to have changed from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 and to Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2. He seems to have more of an aggressive side to people that get in his way in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, unlike his feelings toward people in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.
 * Fans believe that after Blaze's sacrifice, Silver was crying after he lifted his hand up to wipe his eye. However this is unknown due to the fact that the camera viewed away from Silver.
 * Ever since Silver made his debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, fans have been thinking about another Sonic Heroes game featuring "Team Hedgehog" or other team names relating to Sonic, Shadow, and Silver being forced to work together other than Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. However, some believe that Silver should be on a team with Blaze the Cat, Shade the Echidna or Marine the Raccoon.
 * Silver appears in Sega Super Star Tennis, but unlike Blaze, you cannot hit him with a tennis ball even with Super Sonic or a Spin Type player. He appears looking from side to side as if he's looking for something.
 * Even though Silver's eyes are considered yellow on the cover of the game Sonic Rivals it shows his yellow eyes tinted with a bit of orange in them.
 * Fans sometimes write stories about Silver's fur color being gray or the actual color silver. But, to be technical, his real fur color is white.
 * Silver is nearly as gullible as Knuckles.
 * Unlike most of the characters from the comic book, whenever Silver speaks his speech bubble has a cyan-coloured ring around it.
 * Silver is the only male hedgehog who never added 'the hedgehog' when introducing himself, he introduces himself simply as 'Silver'. However, he does so in the Comic series.
 * In Sonic 2006, Silver calls his power 'Psychokinesis'. In Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, he calls it his 'ESP' ability. It should be noted, however, that 'psychokinesis' is an umbrella term for any ability that involves using the mind to manipulate something.
 * Even though Sonic, Shadow, and Silver the hedgehog are the same height and weigh the same, Silver appears to have a thinner body than both Sonic and Shadow.
 * In Sonic 2006 the gem in Silver's boots was pink. In Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, the gem is red.
 * Silver and Blaze have a lot of things in common.
 * 1.) Both their names of their powers starts with a 'P' and ends with a 'kinesis' (Silver=Psychokinesis, Blaze=Pyrokinesis.)
 * 2.) Both have a short temper.
 * 3.) They both share the same worst enemy known as Eggman Nega.
 * 4.) Both have a super form.
 * 5.) Both have yellow irises/eyes.
 * 6.) Their hairstyle makes them look like one of the tallest characters.

 * In the fourth cutscene of Silver's story, you can see the SEGA logo on a poster in Eggman's abandoned lab until Silver moves and his quills get in the way.
 * In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Silver is the only hedgehog who is not a Speed-type. He is also the only hedgehog who rides on his right side on extreme gear.
 * Silver's Psychokinesis and ESP seem to be very similar to the Force from Star Wars.
 * In Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 in the beginning of Sonic's Story Silver when Silver says "I've finally found him the Iblis Trigger." the background has a few flame sparks flying around but in Silvers story when he says that, its just a clear night sky and in Sonic's version Silver lifts up his right fist but in Silvers version he picks up his left.
 * In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the boots Silver is wearing are supposedly the boots of his original design.
 * Silver could Run at Super speed as long as he's not using Psychokinesis.
 * If comparing Silver and Sonic, both seem to have nearly identitcal personalities, possibly suggesting that Silver could be the future descendant of Sonic.
 * Silver and Sonic do have a few things in common.
 * 1.) Both have nearly identical personalities.
 * 2.) They both like peace.
 * 3.) Both like to challenge Knuckles to a Fight sometimes.
 * 4.) Both have a rivalry with Shadow.
 * 5.) Both are Good Friends with Blaze the Cat. (though due to the time paradox in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), it is unknown if they still know each other, for in other games they have appeared in neither have mentioned the other)
 * 6.) Both have an Arch-enemy that's named Eggman. (Sonic=Doctor Eggman, Silver=Eggman Nega.)
 * 7.) They both like freedom.
 * 8.) They can't stand seeing anyone let down in any way.
 * 9.) Both have a strong sense of justice.


 * Silver is not from the same dimension as Blaze the Cat. He is from Sonic's world but 200 years in the future. In Sonic 2006, while Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are exploring the future, Knuckles says, "How could this be our future?" The second and third time you find out Silver's in Sonic's world, is in Sonic Rivals 1&2. Silver clearly states to Eggman Nega that right before Nega turns Sonic's world into a card in the first Sonic Rivals, Silver says, "What?! But that'll mean my future will be destroyed too!" In Sonic Rivals 2, he says to Espio, "I have to save your world or else my world will be destroyed as well!" So in reality, Silver isn't in a different dimension, but in Sonic's world just 200 years in the future.
 * During the Release of Sonic Chronicles and Sonic Unleashed there were rumors that SEGA might not use Silver in Future Sonic Games due to his poor reception (Even though Silver still has a good amount of Fans) But then the rumor was False since Silver appeared in Sonic and the Black Knight but only as a Secert Multiplayer Character. It is still unknown if Silver is going to appear in a New Sonic Game Story-wise.
 * Silver fans hope Silver is going to be in "Mario and Sonic at the Winter Games"
 * Silver might appear in the sequel of Sonic Chronicles since his future could be threaten by Eggmans new empire.
