Spike the Porcupine

Spike the Porcupine is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is an anthropomorphic porcupine and the leader of the Shamar Freedom Fighters.

Appearance
Because of his strong admiration to Sonic the Hedgehog, Spike essentially became a duplicate of Sonic: having a very similar body structure, Spike is colored orange (which is the complete opposite color to blue, Sonic's primary color) with black markings on his quills and spikes. Spike has red and black goggles, red and black gloves, and gray boots. Spike wears a black scarf and has amber-colored eyes.

Early life
Spike, Sonar the Fennec, and Trevor Burrow were inspired by the New Freedom Fighters (specifically Sonic the Hedgehog in Spike's case) and formed a team of Freedom Fighters at Shamar.

Shattered World Crisis
Spike and his team would later "rescue" Sonic, Antoine D'Coolette, Big the Cat, and Chip from an ambush against the Midesta Egg Army. After Spike and his team drove off the Egg Soldiers, he was then greeted by Sonic himself, shocking the young aspiring hero.

Personality
Spike is essentially a fanboy to Sonic: he admires and strives to be just like Sonic. However, he couldn't recognize Sonic at first greeting.

Powers and abilities
Spike possesses some leadership skill, as he shown leading his Freedom Fighters through dangerous conflicts involving the Midesta Egg Army and a Badnik Horde. He also can quickly spin around with his arms out, attacking his foes with a powerful punch.

Trivia

 * Spike bears heavy resemblance to Sonic, with a similar body design and all. Although, this may be due to Spike admiring Sonic and wanting to be like him.
