The Chaos Emeralds[1] are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. They are seven gemstones from Sonic's world with ties to the Master Emerald[2] that hold incredible power.
Description
Powers and traits
Possessing immense chaotic power that changes according to the situation or their usage,[3] the Chaos Emeralds have the same properties as the Sol Emeralds, except that they are not "fiery".[1]
The Chaos Emeralds' power can be harnessed to empower various entities, such as living beings, and power machinery. Harnessing all seven Chaos Emeralds will bestow a person with a Super State, a form that grants increased innate talents and other powers.[2][4][5]
History
Past
Sonic and Dr. Eggman have had numerous past encounters that involved them battling for possession of the Chaos Emeralds.[6] The Emeralds have also been used by Sonic to achieve his Super State.[2][4][7] At some point, all seven Chaos Emeralds were secured by Dr. Starline for Dr. Eggman.[3]
Battle For Angel Island
Starline eventually presented the Chaos Emeralds to Eggman as his "apprenticeship application", prompting an impressed Eggman to take Starline in as his newest lackey.[3]
Infection
For Eggman's new flying fortress, the Faceship, the Chaos Emeralds were used as the ship's power generator. Eggman in particular had the Emeralds fashioned above his throne in the command room of the Faceship to keep them close at hand.[5]
Crisis City
With the Chaos Emeralds powering the Faceship, Eggman and his lackeys began traveling around the world in the vessel while using it to distribute the Metal Virus in key locations.[8][9]
All or Nothing
The Deadly Six managed to take control of the Faceship after Starline invited them onboard and things got out of hand quickly. Zavok decided to distribute each of the Emeralds to the members of the team while leaving one Emerald to power the ship. With this power, the Zeti would be able to control thousands of Zombots instead of random, shambling masses.[10]
Trivia
- The Chaos Emeralds are based on the objects of the same name from the Sonic the Hedgehog video games.
