The Archie comics are a separate continuity from the games too (yet some people used them to say that Mephiles survived 06) Yeah, thats out my Sega timeline a swell. I believe Spinball, Mean Bean and the Sonic Boom games are all based on cartoons than canon Sega Sonic continuity.

If course when the Flames became Iblis, it could be possible it developed a level of primitive sentience to reject Mephiles which is why time travel shenanigans.
