History
Time Traveler
Silver hails from a point at some time in Mobius' future, and on several occasions has traveled back in time in an effort to better his world. The first of these took place during an aborted timeline in which he and a version of Blaze the Cat fought against an evil force known as Iblis. On the advice of Mephiles, who was secretly manipulating the pair, they traveled back in time in an effort to prevent Iblis from ever being released by destroying Sonic the Hedgehog. However, Silver would later learn of Mephiles' deception, and his Blaze would sacrifice herself to stop Iblis in the future by sealing it within her and then teleporting them both to another dimension. Silver would then become Super Silver to aid Super Sonic and Super Shadow in defeating Solaris, the reunited form of Iblis and Mephiles. The actions of Sonic and Princess Elise later erased this timeline, so that Silver's future ended up different and his version of Blaze apparently never existed.
Silver later returned to Sonic's time, this time to fix the future, which was destroyed due to the efforts of his nemesis Eggman Nega. This led to a second-or rather new first-meeting between the heroic Hedgehogs, who worked together to defeat Nega and return him to Silver's time where he belonged. Unfortunately, Nega returned to the past and became a threat again by summoning a fire monster named Ifrit. Silver teamed up with Espio, and attempted to hide the Chao so that Eggman Nega cannot sacrifice them to the Ifrit. Nega's plans were once again foiled, and he was seemingly left trapped in the Ifrit's dimension.
Silver later found himself in the White Space created by the Time Eater. During this time he once again crossed paths with Sonic, the latter of whom was on a journey with his younger self to restore the frozen white areas from his past. Silver challenged the hero to a race and ultimately lost. Afterward, Silver reappeared along with the rest of the heroes to cheer on the two Sonic's in defeating the Time Eater. Upon the monsters defeat, Silver ended up back in the present with everybody else, where he stuck around for the remainder of Sonic's birthday party.
