Downtown Ebony Hare[1] is a character who appears in the Sonic the hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a mobian rabbit who formerly served as a mobster and illegal businessman opposing Renfield the Rodent.

Downtown Ebony Hare is a mobian rabbit of average size, with black and white fur, and blue nose, blue eyes, big ears, and four fingers on each hand. For attire, he wears a stereo typal gangster outfit, composed of a beige fedora, and a beige jacket and pair of pants to match, a blue transparent pair of stylized glasses, a white pair of gloves, a gray pair of shoes, a gold earring on his left ear, and a golden chain necklace around his neck.[1]

History[]

Past[]

At some point, Downtown's scientists began experimenting with the drug Lemon Sundrop Dandelion in an attempt to make it more potent, while Downtown sold it. However, at the same time, large amounts of Lemon Sundrop Dandelion were being served on the hot dogs sold at Renfield the Rodent's Happyland Amusement Park, causing the deaths of certain park patrons, such as Mello.[1][2]

The Chaotix Caper[]

Eventually, Downtown took note of Renfield's actions and, with the help of Blackjack Bulldog and Foxy Reynard, broke into Renfield's factory and demanded changes, claiming to be concerned that he was "killing the market" by adding too much Lemon Sundrop Dandelion onto each hot dog. Renfield attempted to fight back by calling in his brother, Ripper, to stop Downtown, only for Downtown to summon Blackjack, who knocked out Ripper with ease. With Renfield defenseless, Downtown forced him into a business deal where he would supply the rat with the Lemon Sundrop Dandelion, and Renfield would only allow for a little to be put on each hot dog sold, supposedly to give customers a small tase of the drug so they would beg for more. Soon, upon noticing Julie-Su and Remington leading an investigation of the Happyland Amusement Park, Downtown sent Renfield to deal with it while he secretly told Blackjack to "deep-six" the test run of the Lemon Sundrop Dandelion was complete.[1][2]

Later, Downtown was contacted by Blackjack, who had received word from Julie-Su that she wished to strike a deal with him. (In reality, however, Julie-Su was serving as part of a sting operation with the intention of Downtown's arrest.) Downtown, although skeptical, agreed to meet her at an abandoned building in Echidnaopolis, and was subsequently driven there along with Foxy by Blackjack. Upon arrival, Downtown quickly saw through Julie-Su's trick, and had Blackjack throw her off the building.[2]

Downtown then gathered his associates, and traveled back to his factory, where he ordered one of his scientists, Max, to cancel their current developments and pack up all the equipment in the lab to move their operation elsewhere so as to escape the Echidna Security Team. Despite Max's protests, Downtown continued with his plan to vacate the premises, but was discovered by Remington and the Chaotix anyways. Although Downtown attempted to shoot Julie-Su with his revolver, he soon had it stolen from him by Espio, who proceeded to knock Downtown out. Downtown would later be arrested and led into an E.S.T. security van along with his cohorts.[3]
