The Anti-Enerjak Weapon is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a powerful piece of weaponry crafted by Locke and Sabre as a safeguard against the threat of Enerjak, in case of his return.[1]
Description[]
Appearance[]
The Anti-Enerjak Weapon resembles a silver rod with a arched top, bearing a loose resemblance to a pickaxe.[1]
Features and traits[]
Described as being "a perfectly humane way" to kill Enerjak and his host, the Anti-Enerjak Weapon was supposedly able to defeat Enerjak with ease through its unique abilities.[1]
History[]
Past[]
After Enerjak's return from space and rampage on Echidnaopolis, the Brotherhood of Guardians decided it was necessary to develop a weapon capable of killing him should he return once again. Thus, Locke and Sabre created the Anti-Enerjak Weapon in Haven. Not long before the Eggman Empire invasion of Angel Island, the weapon was hidden in the ruins of the Grand Conservatory, with Archimedes, hiding in the underground city, keeping it safe.[2]
Enerjak Reborn[]

As part of Project Enerjak: Reborn, Dr. Finitevus hired and sent the Destructix to guard and keep watch over the Anti-Enerjak Weapon, and to prevent anyone from using it on Enerjak (though unwillingly, as Scourge the Hedgehog first voiced the idea of destroying it in the first place). Locke, believing that Knuckles, his son, no longer existed and he was only Enerjak and it was the only option they had left, elected to use the device on him. But due to his inability to access the Master Emerald due to The Hex placed upon it, was left weakened and unable to secure it without the Emerald's aid. To this end, Locke, needing extra muscle, used his Warp Ring to bring Sonic the Hedgehog and Julie-Su to Angel Island, and asked them for help. Initially they believed the device was designed to restore Enerjak's host to normal, only for Locke to correct Sonic by saying that his forefathers and he had crafted a weapon, and they must help him destroy Enerjak.[2][1]
While Julie-Su was outraged and argued with Locke about destroying Knuckles, Sonic also refused to aid in the destruction of his friend, though kept his doubts to himself, instead planning to break the effects of the Hex with the positive aura he gave off as Super Sonic (similar to what happened to Perfect Chaos). Sonic pretended to agree, and was able to get to the Conservatory with Archimedes' aid, allowing for him to easily acquire the weapon. Just when it seemed they would be confronted again by the Destructix, Sonic promptly shattered the weapon into many pieces with a Sonic Spin, determined to save Knuckles.[1]
Trivia[]
- In an interview, writer Ian Flynn described that the Anti-Enerjak Weapon worked liked a Chaos Syphon, but would then destabilize the energy it absorbed and release it at a target (which supplied the energy in the first place) which would then cause an entropic feedback in the target, ultimately destroying/killing it.[citation needed]
