He is as guillable as he was before, being fooled by Eggman into fighting against Sonic. At least he's muscular now and I like him for that. Surrreeee he wasn't! I meean after all, he came from an advanced society of echidna's that developed there own morales and made huge advances in science before anyone else on their planet even started living in tents. And the Gulliable thing. The first time, i mean, when your raised on an island with just your father, who trained you to always be vigilant and not to trust many others, you might believe it when a fat guy in a partly destroyed  ship thing comes to you with his burnt mustache and claims that a blue hedgehog that you've never seen or heard of is coming to your flying island to steal the one of the most powerful objects in the universe. And Knuckles also has a lot of compassion, and while he doesn't like to spend time with others, he tends to feel bad for them. And no matter how stupid Knuckles is, he is still not as stupid Silver, who thought that seeing a blue hedgehog standing in fire with a black backround behind him justified trying to kill him. Well, to be fair to Silver, He was put in a far more desparate situation. I mean, trying your whole life to fix your world and then someone tells you the answer is to go back in time and kill someone, it made at least some semblance of sense. It's not rly that Silver is stupid, (I think he was shown to be alot smarter in the Rivals games, and was even a pretty take charge kind of guy) it's that SEGA rushed Next Gen's plot to death. I don't care if they rushed it. I can only judge what i have, not what i should've had. Silver is very stupid. He didn't even bother asking jis friend Blaze for any sort of advice. He doesn't question Mephiles even after he fought Sonic the first time. The guy doesn't even know how to use his abililties right! Except next to none of that is true. Blaze does give him advice and is a major guide, he didn't question Mephiles after the first fight because all he knew to sway his opinion was that a teen girl has the hots for Sonic. (Which would have ACTUALLY been stupid to use as a legit source) And he does use his powers right to a degree, he's just not adept. You try to master telekinesis, it'd be a hard thing to do, and it'd be extremely taxing on the mind. He's actually one of the more intelligent characters in the series, but I think Knuckles is likely smarter. (At least in SA1-2) Really? Cause it is shown several times in the game that Silver can streak through the sky, and even lift giant lava rocks. But, in the rest of his story, he can't lift a stupid puzzle ball, and his top flying speed is 6 mph. And the best answer Blaze gives him for any of his questions is: "UGHHH! I don't know?!" Silver was a bad character, who was only good in concept. When he first meets Sonic, he doesn't even bother to ask him why he was going to destroy the world. He doesn't question the bald guy with a mustache sending a giant robot after him that shoots missiles, nbut he some how thinks it's okay to try to kill a hedgehog that has just finished saving one of his fellow idiots. After he fights Sonic, he doesn't even try to research the hedgehog to see if there really is a connection between him and the apocolypase.He could've asked any of the citizens of Isle delfino if they had a computer. Then he might have been able to go on SNN and get reliable information. The guy can supposedly read right? He is just like every other character in the Sonic series. Underdeveloped. So underdeveloped, that Sega forgot that in reality, Silver shouldn't exist. He went back in time, at the risk of being earased. He should not exist! He is just so stupid! Even in the comics. If you had a connection in any way to the end of the world, Silver would come back and beat you up! When Sonic is trying to save Elise, instead of going with him to ensure an easy victory and a good future, Silver goes back to the future, and contains Iblis. Because that's how time travel works! Clearly the way to ensure a good future is go back to that same desilant wasteland of a future you have and contain the beast that should've been contained in the past! if he would've stayed with Sonic, he wouldn't have died! And, Silver also has access to time travel! He could have went back in time, slapped Elise's father, and prevented him from further eperimenting with Solaris. Thus preventing the whole plot! the guy is stupid, there's no doubt about it. The thing is Silver didn't know any of this, not because he's dumb, but because he's isolated. I mean, he has no street smarts because of it. There was once a team of soldiers in World war II who was sent into an isolated island and were told to never leave until their general came to tell them they won. Of course they never won, but they didn't know that. These soldiers fought for, if I remember right, 30 years after the war had ended, and killed hundreds of innocents, all the while ignoring notices from Japan that the war was over, dismissing it as propoganda, with all but one soldier dying before someone from Japan finally found him and told him the war ended 30 years ago. They were far from stupid, they saw a chance to change fate for what they thought the better and took it, but they were naive. Silver is frequently acknowledged as naive by Blaze. Silver, however, had much less to go on than these soldiers, and was a mistake anyone from the outside peeking in would make. He saw no reason to trust Sonic, he was naive, and did what the person who had the "answers" said to. He also did question if killing him was right, but him and Blaze dismissed it for what they thought the better of the future. Don't reply unless you can take the source material at more than face value. But Silver had access to information. Before Mephiles sent him back, he could've asked to use the data base that Mephiles had to used research Sonic. And it's not just that single time when he tried to kill Sonic. He attempted to do it several times because he made the assumption that Sonic was the trader in the midst of the freedom fighters. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, i have no common sense and i don't know how to use my smart brain.
