Chaos powers,[1] also known as Chaos Actions,[2] are a type of power that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are abilities to manipulate Chaos Emerald energy in various ways, including distorting space with Chaos Control to form the powers' functions. Generally, users need at least one Chaos Emerald to access chaos powers.

In other media[]

Animation[]

Sonic X[]

In the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics, a few well-known chaos powers made appearances, such as Chaos Control and Chaos Spear. Such moves were mainly used by Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog and their respective Super forms, Super Sonic and Super Shadow.

In "So Long Sonic", Super Sonic and Super Shadow displayed a unique technique called "Chaos Regeneration" (Japanese version only, the English version never mentioned the name) to save Cosmo, their plant-type anthropomorphic ally, from certain death. As demonstrated in the episode, it is not quite as effective as its title would suggest, because all they managed to produce from their efforts was a small seed.

Books and comics[]

Archie Comics[]

Various chaos powers have appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, where a wider array of characters possess the capacity to utilize Chaos energy. At their most basic, these techniques include lightning bolts, force fields and teleportation. More advanced wielders, such as Mammoth Mogul or Enerjak can achieve mind control and molecular dissection. The teleportation ability appears to be a subtly different form of Chaos Control.

All chaos powers in this continuity come from the greatest power in the universe, the Chaos Force, a mystical energy field that serves as wellspring for all chaos powers.

Notes[]
