History[]
Bonds of Friendship[]
Storm and his gang eventually broke into the Mineral Museum in Spiral Hill Village in the middle of the day. Upon their arrival, Storm followed Jet's instructions and began grabbing as many of the museum's exhibitions as possible. Along the way, however, Storm saw what appears to be a giant shiny stone. In actuality though, it was just a cowering Jewel with her rainbow-like exoskeleton. Despite this, Storm kidnapped Jewel and placed her in his bag, believing Jet would like it. Afterward, Storm made a hasty retreat back to the Babylon Rogues' blimp with his friends. There, Storm tried to show Jet and Wave the gem he had collected, only to discover that the gem was actually a person when he pulled Jewel out of his bag. Soon after, Tangle and Whisper arrived, demanding Jewel be handed back. After Jet and Wave had argued over how to deal with this situation, Jet grew tired of arguing and asked for Storm to throw everyone out. When Storm complied by throwing Jewel out of the blimp however, Jet scolded Storm for making them look violent. Not long after, Storm and his friends were kept from arguing further by Tangle, who said she and Whisper had it under control. After Storm and his friends then received a threat from Tangle about not coming to her village again, Tangle leapt out of the blimp with the stolen goods. The Babylon Rogues decided not to chase them however, as today had already been a hassle.[1]
All or Nothing[]
The Babylon Rogues discuss Sonic's proposal, from Sonic the Hedgehog #25.
The Babylon Rogues were later contacted by Amy Rose to meet her and a group of survivors from the Metal Virus on Angel Island. There, they were told that they were needed to help steal the Chaos Emeralds from a group called the Deadly Six. Jet showed little care to help Sonic and his allies unless the reward was big enough. Even when Wave pointed out that they still needed the world's resources, Jet felt as if they could figure it out on their own without having to become "goodie-goodies"; Storm backed Jet up on his stance but noted that he liked to eat. Sonic managed to appeal to the Babylon Rogues once he told Jet that he needed his help, and the world needed the "Legendary Wind Master".[2]
Storm and his crew witnessed Eggman and Tails build a Multi-Portal Generator with the Warp Topaz that would take everyone where they need to go an instant. Sonic returned from his run and had come up with a plan for who should be assigned with who and what Zeti they should go after. He told the Babylon Rogues that they were to take on Master Zik, and though he was old, he was craftier than all of the Deadly Six combined. Despite this, the team were confident that they could take him on easily, with Storm noting that he was not afraid to hit an old man. Once Tails and Eggman set the coordinates for everyone to move out, Storm and his team went through the Warp Portal to Winterburg. The Babylon Rogues immediately tried to get the jump on Master Zik, but the Zeti used his powers to take over their Extreme Gear and knock them off. After jumping onto Jet's board, the hawk is immediately angered. When noting that they were surrounded by Zombots, Jet taunted Master Zik by asking if he could not fight on his own. Master Zik told them that he retired from the battlefield long ago but would not mind teaching the Rogues a few lessons. Storm and his crew jumped at Master Zik; he and Wave were hit by their own boards. The pair soon found themselves surrounded by Zombots.[3]
Jet stays behind with Wave and Storm to face a Zombot horde, from Sonic the Hedgehog #28.
Storm fended off the Zombots with his board, though this heavily damaged it in the process; he then asked Jet what they were going to do as he could not do what he usually did, which was to punch others. Soon, Jet managed to knock Master Zik downward to Storm, who took this golden opportunity to powerfully punch him overhead. This gave Wave the chance to use her wrench to grab the Chaos Emerald off of him. Defeated and defenseless, Master Zik was soon grabbed by Zombots while he told Jet that he was not tactical or skillful, but lucky. Wave gave the Chaos Emerald to Jet telling him to leave without her and Storm as her board was lost to the Zombots and Storm's was nearly smashed to pieces. Jet instead tied the Emerald to his board and sent it through the Warp Portal. As he readied himself to fight with his teammates, Jet told them that like he told the Zeti, the Babylon Rogues do not lose. According to him, Sonic will get the Emerald and do his hero thing, but they will show the Zombots a real challenge in the meantime.[4]
Out of the Blue[]
After Super Sonic and Super Silver had reversed the effects of the Metal Virus all around the world, the Zombots were no more and were cured. Storm gleefully hugged his teammates, happy that they were not infected. The group noted Master Zik has disappeared before Wave commended Jet on sticking with her and Storm to fight instead of go directly to Angel Island himself. Jet was initially taken aback by the kind words, only to swiftly descend into boasting, which Wave was exasperated by but Storm encouraged.[5] Sometime later, the Babylon Rogues were invited by Tangle to a party in Spiral Hill Village. Storm and Wave enjoyed their food and the show. Suddenly, the group was alerted to a large crash in the town, revealed to be Eggman in a large mecha, who had come to destroy them all.[6] With the heroes occupied with Eggman, Storm and the Babylon Rogues planned to rob the Mineral Museum during Eggman's attack. However, upon their arrival in the museum, they discovered Rouge had already acquired the museum's exhibits.[7]
Endless Summer[]
Storm went with the Babylon Rogues one day to Green Hill for a day at the beach. When they arrived, they argued about where to place their equipment. He soon overheard Sonic and Jewel watching them from a hill. Storm and the Rogues came face-to-face with them on the hill, with Tangle and Whisper standing with Sonic and Jewel. Tangle, Jewel, and Whisper recalled their past encounters with the Rogues, and Tangle bluntly told them to get off the beach. Wave proposed that they settle the matter with some beach games, with the winning team being the one that gets to stay.
The first round was Disc Catch, which was won by Team Sonic. The second round, Swim Relay, was won by the Babylon Rogues. Team Sonic won the Sand Sculpting round, while the Rogues won at Surfing. The final round was a game of volleyball. Towards the end of the game, Sonic gave a pep talk to his team and they set a plan in motion to win. The plan involved isolating Jet and exploiting his ego by keeping Wave and Storm away from the net, thus making Jet feel left out, and then creating a false opening for him, allowing Team Sonic to score. With the last point being scored by Jewel, the game was won by Team Sonic. While they cheered and celebrated, Jewel noticed the Babylon Rogues leaving and began to feel bad. She decided to let them stay and the three teams enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach eating marshmallows over a campfire.[8]
Sonic's 900th Adventure[]
The Babylon Rogues intercepted a transmission from Tails that mentioned Sonic getting rid of the Warp Topaz. They figured out where Sonic was headed and went into an abandoned mine. Big was on his board with the other Rogues as Sonic came in. When Sonic refused to give them the Topaz, Big and the others tried to grab him but failed. They followed Sonic to a dead end and saw Rouge and Shadow were there, which didn't phase Big. Sonic then got away by drilling out of the mine and blocking his path with a portal. After Jet called Shadow a "wanna-be ultimate life form", Big cowered with fear as the hedgehog prepared his Chaos Powers. Jet tried to get Wave or Storm to take him on, but neither wanted to do it. The Rogues were then blasted through the portal and landed in a snowy mountain.[9]
Relic Robbing Rumble[]
Knuckles finds the Rogues stealing some statues in Marble Garden. He flies in to take them out and Jet orders Storm to fight him. Knuckles manages to land a big punch on him, but Storm recovers and throws Knuckles into a wall. Knuckles gets back up and follows them, but the Rogues on their Extreme Gear manage to get away. Later that evening, the Babylon Rogues wait for the "guy" at a pier. Jet is getting impatient about him showing up, but Wave isn't having his bad mood. Storm plays with the relics, which Jet tells him to knock off. Wave asks if it is because of respecting cultural sensitivity, but Jet tells her it's because he doesn't want Storm to damage them, much to her disappointment. Jet says he would have shown more respect if they came from the Babylonians. Then Knuckles and the Chaotix attack the Rogues at the dock. Caught flat footed, Jet tells his cohorts to scatter. Jet and Wave fly up with their Extreme Gear and Jet tells Storm to toss them the relics. Storm does and starts to fight with Knuckles. Storm boasts to Knuckles he can't beat him on ground or in the air. As Storm recovers on his Type-S, Knuckles then brings them into the water by smashing the dock under them. Storm then taunted Knuckles, saying he didn't want to fight him again. Knuckles confronts storm saying he will take him down anytime, anywhere. Storm and Knuckles are about to fight again, when Jet and Wave pull Storm back. Later on, the Babylon Rogues' blimp, Jet is calling their contact. Storm is confused and Jet says he lied to the Chaotix. Storm calls him smart and Jet waves for him to leave.[10][11]
Clean Sweepstakes[]
the Babylon Rogues catch up to Sonic's team and after Wave then teases Tails over his extreme gear, Amy quickly defends him, telling Wave she would choose Tails' gear over hers any day. Storm attempts to threaten Amy, but the attempt quickly fails as Amy strikes fear into the albatross. Both Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues continue to race through the streets until Jet tries to take a swipe at Sonic's gear. The two groups are interrupted by Lanolin fires a version of the variable wispon, noting that attacking another competitor is a violation to the rules.[12] In the second race storm and the Babylon Rogues were in the lead until the Phantom Rider showed up causing Storm to be left behind with Wave until they caught, and the Phantom Rider had left, and they got top 3. Surge and Kit showed up and Wave pointed out how the audience was not cheering for them but cheering to Surge and Kit causing a frustration with the Babylon Rogues and Surge and Kit.[13]
In Misty Spire Storm listens as Jet gets irritated at Surge's showboating when a second Phantom Rider appears with Nite announcing to stop him. Storm then later asks Jet if they would join the fight when suddenly the Phantom Rider is revealed to be Sonic. Before they could ask questions, they are separated by a falling rock, Later, the Babylon Rogues discuss the new development over dinner, with Jet calling it an insult to racing and to himself. Storm suggests that Sonic might have been paid off, but Jet finds the idea ridiculous. Wave reminds the two that Sonic is always doing heroic things and stopping bad guys, bringing them to the realization that if Sonic is trying to stop the Clean Sweepstakes, then Clean Sweep Inc. must be at fault somehow. From this, Wave infers that the event is a scam being fronted as a charity event to profit off of the Restoration's good name. Furious that Sonic figured it out before he did, Jet announces to his team that they have a new mission. The Babylon Rogues also vow to find out who is behind the scam and get even with them.[14] A bolt of lightning hits a nearby car and causes it to start falling. However, Storm arrives and catches it, and tells the other two Babylon Rogues to take care of the rest.[15]
