— Chaos, Sonic the Comic #177

Chaos is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It was the main villain of Sonic Adventure adaptation, and the final major villain of the comics overall. In this continuity, Chaos was a Prosecutor of the Drakon Empire, mutated into his present state by exposure to chaos energy.

Appearance[]

ChaosFleetwayFullbody

Chaos, from Sonic the Comic #182.

Chaos is a skinny aquatic creature with green eyes, sharp teeth and a large jaw. He has four fingers, with sharp nails on them, on his hands and three toes, with claws on them, on his feet.

History[]

Origin[]

Prosecutor Chaos

Sonic attacks Chaos' past self, from Sonic the Comic #180.

The entity known as Chaos was once a Drakon Prosecutor from ancient times, during the war between the Echidnas and the Drakon Empire.

At some point, Sonic the Hedgehog was brought back through time by Tikal's magic. At this time, the echidnas were under siege by Drakon forces and a group of echidnas led by a past incarnation of Knuckles the Echidna were attacked by a lone Prosecutor. Sonic intervened and attacked the Prosecutor, seemingly snapping its neck. However the echidnas did not know until that moment that the Drakons were actually fish piloting robotic bodies.[1]

A Drakon Prosecutor mutates into the creature that would soon be known as Chaos, from Sonic the Comic #181.

The Prosecutor was taken to Pochacamac's camp and imprisoned within a water-filled tank. Not long after its imprisonment, a squad of Drakons attacked the camp in order to take back the Chaos Emeralds that the echidnas had stolen from them. During the fight, a discharge from a Prosecutor's battle-staff struck the Chaos Emeralds, causing the Emeralds to 'leak' pure Chaos radiation. The energy mingled with the water in the tank containing the captive Prosecutor, which absorbed the energy and was mutated in a terrifying monstrosity, the creature Sonic would come to know in the future as Chaos.[2]

Sonic attempted to stop Chaos then and there, hoping to cancel out the event of Johnny Lightfoot's death at Chaos's hands in the future. However, Sonic was unable to defeat Chaos and was almost killed, but Pochacamac used his magic to send him back to his own time. How the echidnas' battle against Chaos played out is unknown, but Chaos was weakened after Sonic was sent back to the future.[3]

Discovery by Robotnik[]

At some unknown point in the future—perhaps before or after his rise to power on MobiusDoctor Robotnik discovered the Chaos creature, which at that point had become mindless and feral since it had not been in contact with the Chaos Emeralds for such a long time. The doctor had attempted to take control of Chaos with his Anti-Chaos Nullifier and failed, and so imprisoned the creature. Exactly how Robotnik was able to keep Chaos contained is not explained, nor is it explained whether or not Robotnik was ever affected by Chaos's fear aura.[4]

Release and Rampage[]

Chaos Graviton

Chaos is shot by a Graviton Cannon to no effect, from Sonic the Comic #175.

Not long after Robotnik's failed attempt to destroy Mobius, Grimer freed Chaos from his confinement in hopes of cheering up Robotnik and motivating him to continue conquering Mobius. Once released, Chaos went on a rampage in the Metropolis Zone, the zone's police force unable to stop him even with advanced energy weapons. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters arrived on the scene and even they found combating the monster difficult due to the creature's aura of fear.[5] Porker Lewis deduced that the monster was composed of chaos energy and had brought along a device that could hopefully destroy the beast. The Freedom Fighters attempted to keep Chaos at bay whilst Johnny Lightfoot connected a loose cable. Johnny succeeded, but Chaos killed him with a swift punch. Heartbroken and grief-stricken, Sonic blamed himself for Johnny's death and temporarily left the Freedom Fighters.[4]

Chaos Emerald Chamber

Chaos attacks the Emerald Chamber, from Sonic the Comic #178.

Although Chaos had been dissipated by Porker's device, it recomposed itself and went in search of chaos energy to feed on. It transformed into a cloud-like form and took flight toward the Floating Island. After coming into contact with the Chaos Emeralds, Chaos began to regain his mental composure and could think clearly and speak. Driven by violence and destruction, he attempted to absorb the Chaos Emeralds into his body to become stronger and destroy the entire planet. Before he could do that, Knuckles activated a system inside the Emerald Chamber that ejected the Chaos Emeralds from the Floating Island, scattering them across the world. This resulted in the Floating Island losing power and falling out of the sky, crashing into the sea.[6]

Perfect Chaos[]

Normal Chaos

Chaos, drained of energy, is thrown into a lake by Super Sonic, from Sonic the Comic #184.

With the Chaos Emeralds scattered across Mobius, Chaos began hunting them down one by one. Most of the Emeralds had been attracted by Doctor Robotnik's Chaos Resonator device, which would bring the gems to him and Chaos would surely follow. However, that was the extent of Robotnik's scheme; to bring Chaos, the Emeralds and Sonic and friends together to witness Chaos's ravaging of the planet.[7] Sure enough, Chaos consumed the Chaos Emeralds and transformed into his ultimate form: Perfect Chaos. The spread of his destructive influence was halted by the timely arrival of Super Sonic and Ebony, who had been seeking out a source of chaos energy so that Super could recharge himself and continue to live. In order to stop Chaos and save his own life, Super Sonic threw himself into Chaos's liquid body and completely drained him of chaos energy. Without any energy left, the creature turned back into a Drakon fish and was thrown into a lake by Super Sonic.[8]

Personality[]

Powers and abilities[]

Chaos Fear

The Freedom Fighters succumb to Chaos' fear aura, from Sonic the Comic #175.

Being made of energy, Chaos is pretty much indestructible. If dissipated, he can reconstitute himself again. He can change his form from solid to liquid to gas at will, can sense the presence of chaos energy and can withstand any attack. One of his most impressive abilities is his fear aura. Proximity to Chaos will cause feelings of extreme fear and panic in others, rendering them unable to fight back. He lost all these abilities when he reverted back to his normal Drakon form.

Perfect Chaos[]

STCChaos

Chaos transformed into Perfect Chaos, from Sonic the Comic #183.

By absorbing all seven Chaos Emeralds, Chaos can transform into Perfect Chaos. In this form, Chaos is a thousand times stronger and is completely invincible. Besides retaining his normal abilities and an enhanced fear effect, Perfect Chaos is able to warp reality, allowing him to reshape the world around to his liking.
