In other media

Archie Comics

Various other Chaos Powers variations have appeared in the Archie Comics, where a wider array of characters possess the capacity to utilize chaos energy. At their most basic, these techniques include lightning bolts, force fields and teleportation. More advanced wielders, such as Mammoth Mogul or Enerjak can achieve mind control and molecular dissection. The teleportation ability appears to be a subtly different form of Chaos Control.

All Chaos Powers in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series come from the greatest power in the universe, the Chaos Force, a mystical energy field that serves as wellspring for all Chaos powers.

Sonic X

In Sonic X, a few well-known Chaos Powers made their appearances, such as Chaos Control and Chaos Spear. Such moves was mainly used by Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog and their super transformation forms (Super Sonic and Super Shadow respectively).

In episode 78, Super Sonic and Super Shadow displayed a unique technique called "Chaos Regeneration" (Japanese version only, the English version never mentioned the name) to save Cosmo, their plant-type anthropomorphic ally, from certain death. As demonstrated in the episode, it is not quite as effective as its title would suggest, because all they managed to produce from their efforts was a small seed.
