Chaotix

From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki

Chaotix are a group of heroes from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They were originally created for the video game Knuckles' Chaotix for the 32X, and later became a semi-regular part of both comic and video game continuity.

Knuckles' Chaotix starred seven characters, including Knuckles the Echidna and Mighty the Armadillo, who both appeared in earlier games (Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and SegaSonic the Hedgehog respectively). However, more recent incarnations of the team include only three of these: Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee.

The Chaotix team has also appeared in various comics continuities, which feature different (often much larger) memberships.

[edit] Games continuity

The Chaotix team was brought together when each of the various members decided to investigate Doctor Robotnik's new Newtrogic High Zone. The team at the time consisted of:

• Knuckles the Echidna
• Vector the Crocodile
• Espio the Chameleon
• Charmy Bee
• Mighty the Armadillo
• Heavy and Bomb

After this adventure the group went their separate ways, although Vector, Espio, and Charmy eventually formed into a more permanent group before the events of Sonic Heroes. (These three characters have remained the core group of Chaotix in every subsequent appearance). In this game they run a private detective agency, and never turn away any work that pays.

Chaotix reappeared in the game Shadow the Hedgehog. They appeared as a team in various cutscenes, and individually as comrades of Shadow in certain levels.

Espio and Vector appear in Sonic Rivals 2, Vector orders Espio to investigate the chao. Vector also cameoed in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

[edit] Archie continuity

In the Archie Comics continuity, Chaotix are the group of Freedom Fighters that protect Angel Island, and are closely affiliated with Knuckles. They first appeared in a Sonic Super Special. For a time, they appeared (along with Knuckles) in the more 'serious' Archie comic, Knuckles the Echidna.

In this continuity, the Chaotix roster includes:

• Vector the Crocodile
• Espio the Chameleon
• Charmy Bee
• Mighty the Armadillo
• Saffron
• Ray the Flying Squirrel (a character from the games who had appeared with Mighty in SegaSonic the Hedgehog)
• Julie-Su

Main article: Chaotix (Sonic the Comic)

In Sonic the Comic. published by Fleetway Editions, Chaotix are the guardians of the Special Zone and were founded by the Omni-Viewer. In this continuity the group consists of Vector, Espio, Charmy, and Mighty. Nack the Weasel was also an early member, but quit the group and betrayed them to the Brotherhood of Metallix.

They first appeared when Knuckles arrived in the Special Zone. Believing Knuckles to be a servant of Doctor Robotnik, the Omni-Viewer summoned Chaotix to fight him. When the truth was discovered, Knuckles briefly joined forces in order to fight a greater threat (although in this continuity he was never a full member of the team).

Sonic the Hedgehog was later trapped in the Special Zone for an extended period, and spent much time with Chaotix. During this period he met several of Chaotix's own enemies, such as Lord Sidewinder, as well as Mighty's senile father Blockhead Bill. Chaotix were instrumental in imprisoning Super Sonic, first within the Omni-Viewer's time field and then within the Black Asteroid.

[edit] Sonic X continuity

In Sonic X, Vector, Espio and Charmy appear as members of a detective agency. They appeared in one episode of season 2, in which Vanilla the Rabbit hired them to find her daughter Cream.

They played a larger role in season 3.
