Bit is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a line of robotic hedgehogs created by Professor Von Schlemmer that exist two hundred years in the future.

Concept and creation[]

The Bits were based on the Virtual Hedgehogs from Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World. They were also based on another character that Evan Stanley "couldn't say."[2]

Appearance[]

In total, there are three different variants of Bits: a blue model, a vermillion model, and a yellow model. Each of them have designs similar to Sonic the Hedgehog. Each of them also has a red orb attached to a black antenna on the top of their heads.

History[]

The Silver Age[]

The Bits first appeared to greet Professor Von Schlemmer after he returned from the Science Center with Silver the Hedgehog, and then demonstrated to Silver how the Bigger-Maker Machine worked after he became curious of the professor's inventions.[3] Later, when Onyx City Council tried to dispose of Silver and Von Schlemmer by launching them into a Genesis Portal, Von Schlemmer revealed he had the Bits with him and activated them to help the pair escape from the portal. However, a powerful creature called the Second Devourer follow them and began to terrorize Onyx City.[4] Gold the Tenrec used her telepathy to link her mind, Silver's mind and the minds of the Bits to Von Schlemmer so he can quickly modify his Bigger-Maker Machine to enlarge Silver big enough to combat the Second Devourer.[5]
