Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)

"Strong. Determined. The muscle of the team."

- Sonic Boom Official Website

Knuckles the Echidna is one of the main characters in the upcoming TV series, Sonic Boom.

Appearance
Knuckles is much larger than the rest of the group and all of his other incarnations. Instead of having the same basic body type as Sonic, he has an incredibly large torso and muscular arms, making him very top-heavy despite his bigger legs. Unlike the other characters, Knuckles does not wear his gloves, he instead has sports tape wrapped around his hands and wrists, similar to a Muay Thai boxer. His ankles and biceps are wrapped as well.

Personality
Knuckles is described as being determined and strong.

Powers and Abilities
Described as the "muscle of the team", Knuckles supposedly possesses high physical strength.

Sonic Boom (game)
Knuckles also appears in the Sonic Boom video game. The game serves as a prequel to the TV series, where Knuckles and his friends Sonic, Tails and Amy come to a unknown island to battle an ancient evil. Knuckles is one of the four playable characters in the game, the others being Sonic, Tails and Amy. In the game, he can dig underground, fight enemies hand-to-hand, and can climb along the bottom of horizontal surfaces.

Trivia

 * The bulkier look of this version of Knuckles is similar to the appearances of other super-strong characters in various Sonic series, including Bark the Polar Bear, Vector the Crocodile, Big the Cat, Storm the Albatross, and Thrash the Devil.
