Well, actually, he did already technically steal Knuckles.

Anyway, back on topic I wouldn't mind seeing Shade in another video game. He also nicked other things. Characters named "Princess of Acorn" and "Kintobor" were mentioned on Geoffrey Saint John's data bio and apparently the Lara-Su Chronicles take place on planet "Mobius". So Ken Penders effectively took not just Archie's intellectual property for the Sonic's comics, but Sega's as well which date back since early Sonic canon years before Ken Penders worked for Archie.

It's why I say Ken Penders is almost Chris-Chan tier, but not his level, given he is self-employed and married. Kintobor was also used in Sonic the Comic, so he might have just dug himself even deeper when he used that name.

I'm also sort of surprised that Penders doesn't really seem to want to use Elias despite the fact he supposedly owns him.

I also heard he referenced Sonic in one of those data files as an "Erinaceidae".
