The Deadly Six is a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They are a group villainous Zeti who reside on the Lost Hex.
History
During the Shattered World Crisis, the Deadly Six were attacked and subjugated by Dr. Eggman through use of the Cacophonic Conch. However, they were subsequently freed from this abuse by Sigma, an artificial intelligence from the year 21XX of Mega Man's World. Grateful to their liberator, the Deadly Six forced Eggman to construct a new body for him, and then supported him in forcing Eggman to continue serving him with the aid of a similarly enslaved Dr. Albert W. Wily.[1]

The Deadly Six were promptly fitted with new armor to enhance their powers, but-demonstrating their treacherous nature-they then turned against Sigma and sought to take control of his growing empire. However, Sigma had anticipated this, and the armor promptly took control of its wearers, making them subservient to Sigma. The six were promptly dispatched to Mega Man's World in the year 20XX and Sonic's World to recruit two more agents for Sigma in the form of the heroes Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man. Zavok, Zeena, and Zor traveled to the surface of Sonic's World to capture Sonic, while Master Zik, Zomom, and Zazz went after Mega Man on Earth.[1][2][3]
Zik, Zomom, and Zeena were later dispatched to capture Eggman and Wily after the pair betrayed Sigma by arranging for Sonic Man and M'egga Man to cure each other.[4] They were thwarted due to the interference of Xander Payne, who arrived on the Lost Hex and departed with the doctors via Genesis Portals that he generated. It wasn't long before the Zeti were given another task: leading Sigma's army of Mechaniloids against the New Freedom Fighters, Robot Masters, Team Sticks, and Maverick Hunters as they arrived aboard the Sky Patrol.[5] Despite being outnumbered, the heroes began making headway, but the Deadly Six responded by taking control of the robots from the present and future of Earth 20XX and forcing them to attack their comrades.[6]
Trivia
- The design of the Deadly Six were inspired by the Oni of Japanese mythology, a race of demons.
