Jeffrey St. Croix, also known as Anti-Geoffrey St. John, or Evil St. John, is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is Geoffrey St. John's evil counterpart from Moebius.
Appearance[]
St. Croix is seedier-looking than his good counterpart, and has a spiky punk haircut. Following his imprisonment, St. Croix wears an orange jumpsuit with dark green boots. His hair became larger and more "suave", rather than the spiky haircut he used to display.
History[]
Jeffrey's original appearance, from Sonic Super Special #10.
He briefly led the Anti-Freedom Fighters. However, after repeated defeats, the others dumped him and Anti-Sally Acorn became the new leader. While he had almost no role, it can be assumed that he possesses all of his Prime version's negative qualities with none of the positive.[1]
At some point, Evil St. John was arrested by the Zone Cops and placed in Zone Jail, where he became a henchman of the former ruler of Moebius, Maxx Acorn. King Maxx, following Scourge's idea of renaming Moebians so as not to be stuck in the shadow of Mobius, would force Evil St. John, along with all the other Moebians in prison, to rename himself. Which he did, becoming "Jeffrey St. Croix". After Scourge the Hedgehog arrived in Zone Jail, Maxx made a deal with him that as long as Scourge would not challenge his power in prison, Maxx's gang, Jeffrey included, would not kill him. After Scourge seemingly violated the deal with the arrival of the Destructix, Jeffrey, along with several thugs, escorted him to Maxx's cell. After Maxx gave the order to leave enough of Scourge to "be identified", Scourge, panicking, retaliated by headbutting St. Croix and kicking the others. However, St. Croix and the others would have succeeded in killing him had it not been for the Destructix coming to his rescue.[2]
Afterwards, St. Croix eavesdropped on Fiona and Abby in the prison yard, taking interest when Fiona mentioned that she "always had a way out." Later still, while bullying Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al in the yard, he soon found himself being attacked by a much more confidence Scourge; he was "saved" by Fiona, who put on an appearance of keeping Scourge in-line.[3] When Fiona, Scourge and the Destructix finally made their move, causing a massive prison riot, Jeffrey took the initiative and stole their confiscated belongings from the Prisoner Processing area before Fiona could recover them. Having heard Fiona in the yard earlier, Jeffrey realized that the riot was part of their "plan", and they had to have some means of escape. As King Maxx planned future conquests, Jeffrey dug through the Destructix's things while making his own plans, though not without catching some of Maxx's attention somewhat.[4] As he tried to cover for himself, Jeffrey tossed aside the Warp Ring, which expanded into a portal, much to their surprise. However, before they could use it, the Destructix burst in, beating the two to a pulp and taking back their possessions. Jeffrey was presumably recaptured when the Zone Cops regained control of the prison.[5]
Personality[]
Jeffrey seems to act very similar to his Mobius Prime's counterpart. He's arrogant, charismatic, and does what he wants to do, without a care in the world.
Relationships[]
Scourge the Hedgehog[]
When Evil Sonic finds out that he's leading his team within his absence, he faints at the sight of him. It is possible that their relationship is similar to that of their Mobius Counterparts.
Friends/allies[]
Enemies[]
- Destructix

Trivia[]
- Jeffrey was the first character from Moebius to have been based on a character created for the Sonic comic series by Archie Comics Publications, rather than having previously been developed by Sega or for the Sonic the Hedgehog television series.
- Barring the mentions of Anti-Penelope Platypus and Anti-Rob O' the Hedge, he was also the only one such character introduced in the series.
- Jeffrey's first name is a homophone of that held by his Prime Zone self. St. Croix is as well the name of an island in the real-world Carribean.
