Tex the Lizard is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a Mobian lizard and a member of the Sand-Blasters who works to defend Sand Blast City.

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. Tex 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. Tex 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. (StH #62, #63, #119)

A Chaotix Problem[]

When a Dark Legion minion controlling a tank attacked the Sand-Blasters, Jack Rabbit, Avery the Bear, Shift E. Wolf, Jolt the Roadrunner, and Tex ran away from the minion until "Flex" picked the tank up and threw it elsewhere. The next day, he and the Sand-Blasters went and ambushed the Chaotix (Vector, Espio, and Charmy) and Jack questioned about their business by Sand Blast City. (SU #47)

Powers and abilities[]

Tex has impressive strength, being strong enough to grapple with Vector the crocodile. He is also quite durable, as he survived being sent flying by a punch from Bunnie without injury. Tex is capable of doing his own version of a Spin Dash, called the Spine Dash, which is enhanced by his tough, spiny exterior, although falls slightly inferior to Sonic's Spin Dash.[1]

Weapons[]

Tex owns a machine gun.

Trivia[]

  • Tex is named after Tex Avery, the creator of the cartoon Looney Toons.
