Is there a chance that Penders or his legal team made sure to have the contract disappear?

<p>I think chances are Archies legal team just done goofed. I can't imagine Ken Penders sneaking into the offices and pilfering his contract or wherever they keep them.

<p>Not to mention copyright infringement with his Knuckles rip-off (not that Sega has any problem with fan-fiction, even ROM hacks, Sega gives pretty much free rein for people to do whatever the Hell they want with their characters, but it shows Penders' hypocrisy). At least Chris Chan doesn't try suing anyone with his bullshit "character" "Sonichu", a rip-off of Pikachu and Sonic.

<p>Dunno if Chris-Chan ever did try taking Sonichu to court, I figure it's easier to threat about it than the effort to do it.
