— Prelate-R

Prelate-R is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is the Prelate form of Ray the Flying Squirrel that exists in the Dark Mobius dimension.

History[]

Prelate-R was created from the Core of an alternate reality counterpart of Ray the Flying Squirrel. Like the rest of the Chaotix-based Prelates, R confronted Silver the Hedgehog after following Prelate-V back to his homeworld and attacked him on sight.^[1] After a failed attempt to crush Silver, R along with Prelate-C and Prelate-S, struck him down in mid-flight and then tried to converge on Silver, only to be destroyed down to his core by Demo Duck of the Dark Freedom Fighters. R was later reformed from his core by Dark Enerjak to attack the Freedom Fighters after their "secret base" was destroyed and engaged Demo and Scarlette Rabbot in battle.^[2]

When Prelate-R is formed from his core and fires his eye-lasers, he makes a sound similar to Ray's name: "RYY!"
Prelate-R appears to be able to fly because of his prime counterpart's natural ability.
While the stripes and decals of all the other prelates are the same color as the primary color of their organic versions (Vector is green, Mighty is red, etc.), Prelate-R is strangely a pale blue, rather than a shade of yellow. This is probably in relation to his prime counterpart's pale blue-colored jacket and sneakers since the yellow color is already applied to Prelate S, while Prelate C's color most likely comes from Charmy Bee's orange bomber jacket.
