Fundamental Four

The Fundamental Four appeared once, in a two part Chaotix story The Fundamental Four (STC 80 & 81) they were (obvious) parodies of the Marvel Comics characters the Fantastic Four; Marvel parodies being a common theme with the enemies in the Special Zone. The team, who bickered constantly, were made up of Hydran, Squall, Gravel and Flare. Hydran, who lead the group, was made up of water kept solid by a stretching specially made suit and fishbowl-like head, Squall appears to be made of air or smoke, and appears to be a goblin of sorts, Gravel is a man of earth who speaks in unintelligible nonsense (that all his teammates seem to understand fine) and Flare, the female of the group, was made of fire. Flare is the only character to resemble a Sonic Team design for the animal characters in the universe. The Fundamental Four were old enemies of The Chaotix having spent years in prison because of them, they assaulted the Chaotix's headquarters, shortly after, having finally grown too irritating for them, Vector had thrown out Charmy Bee, the remaining members were defeated and put in a liquidator, luckily Charmy spotted them through a window. Charmy was able to 'borrow' workers from his mother's hive, who used the Four's powers against them to fashion them into an urn, much to Vector's annoyance.
