Knuckles utilizing Chaos energy to send the Master Emerald shards away, from Sonic Universe #70.
Chaos energy[1] is a force that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a type of mystical energy that stems from the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds.
Description[]
Chaos energy is a mystical energy that can be found within the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds. However, it is possible for Chaos energy to exist within other sources, such as Chaos, who is a being made of liquid Chaos energy. This energy can be used for a number of applications, such as powering machinery, empowering beings, or warping time and space itself.[2][3]
By tapping into Chaos energy, it is possible for individuals to gain access to unique abilities such as Chaos Control, or to achieve transformations known as "Super-States". These transformations greatly increase the innate powers of the individual and also provide them with new abilities, the most common of which are flight and invulnerability.[2] By using Tikal's Prayer, it is possible to increase one's access to Chaos energy. Shadow the Hedgehog can also increase his Chaos energy intake by removing his Inhibitor Rings.[4][5]
There exist a handful of methods for certain individuals to track Chaos energy. The first is Knuckles the Echidna's innate "emerald radar", which allows him to track Chaos energy within a limited range.[6] Opposite to that, the Mystic Melody allows its user to detect Chaos energy over a long distance.[7] There are also machines that are designed to detect Chaos energy.[6]
