Freedom Fighters (Sonic the Comic)
From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki
- This article is for fictional characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that appear exclusively in Sonic the Comic, who served as core supporting cast and Freedom Fighters in that continuity, produced by Fleetway Editions.
The Freedom Fighters were a resistance group that appeared in Sonic the Comic, the UK Fleetway Editions publication. They opposed Doctor Robotnik's dictatorial rule of planet Mobius, which started with his takeover in Sonic the Comic #8, "The Origin of Sonic", and ended with his overthrow in #100.
Most members of the team were Sega-created characters (Porker Lewis and Johnny Lightfoot having been based on the animals rescued at the end of the game levels), although later members were STC originals. Tekno the Canary was created by Lew Stringer.
[edit] History
The original Freedom Fighters consisted of Sonic the Hedgehog (the leader and founder), Tails, Porker Lewis, and Johnny Lightfoot. These four individuals had been transported six months into the future by Robotnik (who had taken control of the Omni-Viewer to perform the task),[1] only to find that Robotnik had conquered the planet in their absence.[2] The Freedom Fighters were introduced as a team a short time later.[3]
The team was supported by the Kintobor Computer, which possessed the knowledge and personality of Doctor Robotnik's nice alter-ego, Doctor Ovi Kintobor. Amy Rose also joined the team,[4] eventually becoming the leader in Sonic's absence. Other recruits included the scientific genius Tekno the Canary.
The Freedom Fighters originally operated out of a subterranean base, which had once been the laboratory belonging to Doctor Kintobor. When this base was discovered by Robotnik (thanks to Knuckles the Echidna),[5] they were forced to flee it and roamed Mobius disguised as Bob Beaky's Travelling Circus (downloading the Kintobor Computer onto one of Mobius' Golden Rings).[6] This base was lost as well when Super Sonic destroyed it during a rampage.[7] In their last days before Robotnik's defeat, they operated out of Tekno's secret underground lab.
