This is why I compare Penders to Chris-Chan who believes combining Sonic with Pikachu makes an entirely original character.

It's also why I'd be totally OK if Scourge and maybe Dr. Finitevus be replaced with Ashura and Wechnia given not only would they fit the part being the right kind of recolours to replace the roles, but have some tie-in to the games, albeit as glitches than canon. Ken Penders should, and deserve, credit where it is due, but what he tried to claim in that thread is absolutely absurd. Also, Finitevus isn't a Penders character (is Karl Bollers') but since it is Penders who introduced so many Knuckles re-colors, people will associate ANY non-Knuckles, non-Sega Echidna species as Penders now, so I doubt even if Bollers had no issue with Archie suing Finitivus, people may continue to wonder why Penders characters are still in there even though its not his, its so Sega can keep their associative distance away from Penders at all cost as to not look bad to the public.
