Silver the Hedgehog (Archie)

Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Shirubā za Hejjihoggu) is a character in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics). He is a white hedgehog with powerful psychic abilities who hails from the future. Silver first debuted in the Bold New Moebius arc, in which he was hunting down Sonic.

Silver wears gold cuffs that go around his wrists and legs that are just a bit higher than his gloves and boots. Cyan lines encircle the cuffs, probably reassembling his ESP abilities. Silver's boots are indigo colored down the side and have teal-coloured tips. A white line goes straight down the middle to the teal tip. On the top of the middle of his shoe is a red adornment-like gem. The design on his gloves have a cyan circle that has a line at the bottom that goes down to his cuff. This helps him utilize his ESP.

Bold New Moebius Arc
Silver appeared for the first time in Mobius Prime over Never Lake in Mercia, to the surprised Rob O' the Hedge and his wife Mari-An. Silver first believed Rob to be Sonic due to their similar appearance, but when Rob explained he wasn't him, Silver responded, telling him that he needed to find Sonic as "your future depends on it".

Rob O' the Hedge explained to Silver they could find Sonic at Freedom HQ. Using Silver's super Warp Ring, the two traveled there together. Silver and Rob arrived together to find Sally and Alicia arguing about stranding Sonic and Amy Rose in Moebius. Sally explained to them what had happened, and thus Silver transported himself to Moebius with Rob. Once there, the two hedgehogs met up with Sonic, Scourge, Amy, Rosy the Rascal, Metal Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog.

During the ensuing fight, Silver attempted to discover which one was Sonic, first by asking everyone. After being ignored, Silver captured everyone with his psychic powers and stated he has come to destroy Sonic, since in his future someone betrayed the Freedom Fighters and only Sonic was likely enough to have the power to do that. But Rob convinced him otherwise, saying that Sonic's heroism made it more likely that he wouldn't. Scourge then jumped in and attacked both of them, claiming that Silver should use his powers to give himself "a less-stupid haircut". Shortly afterward, Sonic made a proposal to everyone to stop attacking each other and strictly finish off Scourge. In response, Scourge used the Anarchy Beryl in his throne to transform into Super Scourge.

Silver tried to defeat Super Scourge but was temporarily knocked out like all the others. Shortly afterward when Super Scourge tried to defeat the Suppression Squad and Freedom Fighters after they came through the Star Posts from Mobius, Silver used his psychokinesis to grab and hold Scourge before he could injure the cowardly Miles, but Super Scourge managed to break free. Silver tried this again on Sally's orders so the others could pile on top of Super Scourge long enough for him to lose his super form, but Silver's power failed him yet again and Scourge threw the others off of him. Scourge was later defeated thanks to the quick thinking of Sonic, as the Anarchy Beryl drained Scourge of his strength when he powered down. Following this, Silver walked back with the others to Dr. Kintobor's tower and told Sonic that he would find the Freedom Fighter traitor and would be back before departing to his home time via Warp Ring.

In The Games
In the video games, Silver appears as a semi-regular character, introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). In this game, Silver was sent to the past, by Mephiles the Dark, along with Blaze the Cat. Mephiles had manipulated the two into thinking that Sonic the Hedgehog had destroyed their future, by releasing Iblis. Silver, and Blaze attempted throughout the game to kill Sonic, in order to alter the future. Silver's belief of Snic being the "Iblis Trigger" was later proven false. At the end of the game, Silver used his Super-Form, known as Super Silver, along with Shadow, and Sonic, n order to defeat Solaris, and save the time-line. The game's events were later erased by Princess Elise, and Silver's meeting the cast, and being sent to the past had never happened.

Silver returned in Sonic Rivals, and its sequal, Sonic Rivals 2, in which he also came from the future. This time, he was trying to stop Eggman Nega from altering time, by turning everyone, and everything into a card, and having him release Ifrit from an alternate time, known as Chaotic Inferno, to destroy the world. In Rivals 2, Silver holds a close bond with Espio the Chamelion, while trying to rescue the Chao from Nega.

Silver has also appeared in various other games, such as, Sonic And The Secret Rings, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, among others. For unknown reaons, he was removed from Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games, though is still payable through hacks.
