Description[]
History[]
Meeting Sonic, Tails, and Bunnie[]
When Sonic and Tails first arrived in Sand Blast City, the hedgehog found himself the object of hero worship. However, it turned out that the leader of the Sand Blasters, Jack Rabbit, planned to force Sonic to stay in the city as its protector against the Robian hoard beyond the city's force field dome. Jolt was among the group who covered up the pair's biplane under the pretense of needing to do maintenance on it. However, not wanting to be kept against their will, Sonic and Tails were forced to make a break for it. Jolt was among the group attempting to recapture (but not harm) the two. Despite this, Sonic destroyed the force field generator, and he and Tails escaped. The Sand Blasters were left to fend off the Robians themselves. Later, the Sand Blasters attempted to avenge themselves by luring Sonic into a trap; however, they caught Bunnie instead. They decided that Sonic would have to come looking for her eventually and set the recaptured Robians upon her; however, she fought her way free, leaving the group to be once again attacked by the Robians.

A Chaotix Problem[]
Along with his teammates, Jolt subsequently appeared to challenge the arrival of Mighty the Armadillo's teammates from the Chaotix: Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee. Prior to this, Mighty had joined up with Jolt and his allies, going by the name "Flex." The Chaotix resisted the Sand-Blasters efforts to capture them, Charmy dealing a heavy blow to Jolt before being captured by Avery the Bear. With the trio captured, the Sand-Blasters turned them over to Mighty and his friend and fellow Chaotix member Ray the Flying Squirrel, who had taken the name "Jitters" after joining the Sand-Blasters. Subsequently, Jolt and his teammates-accompanied by the Chaotix-went to exchange prisoners with the Legion following Mighty's "capture." In the course of the ambush that the Sand-Blasters sprang at the meeting, Mighty's subterfuge came to light, and Jack ordered his team to eliminate the Armadillo. Jolt boarded the Legion carrier and pulled a gun to use on Mighty, eager to distinguish himself in his leader's eyes. Unfortunately, he ended up on the receiving end of a punch from Mighty's sister Matilda the Armadillo, a Legionnaire, and was sent flying through the air. Defeated, the Sand-Blasters subsequently retreated.
Powers and abilities[]
Jolt has super speed, and is fast enough to perform the Figure-Eight Peel-Out. Though, in comparison, he is slower than Sonic. He also has a good amount of durability, as he survived Matilda the Armadillo punching him hard enough to send him flying through the air without injury.
