The hedgehog loves adventure and [[Chili dog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|chili dogs]] and he is always willing to fight to protect the ones he cares about from any threat. Sonic is in some ways different from his [[Sonic the Hedgehog|video game counterpart]] - in the comics, he was displayed as having a rather strong sense of humor, as well as important familial ties with his family and friends; characteristics absent from most other incarnations. He is shown engaging in romantic relationships, while in the games, he is uninterested in romance. He was also portrayed as having a deeper sense of duty - in the games Sonic treats his ongoing conflict with Dr. Eggman as just an opportunity to have a fun time, whereas in the comic series he understood it as a responsibility to protect his world from a terrible menace, although he did seem to have fun while fighting Eggman. Sonic's age was left intentionally ambiguous due to relativity resulting from his recent space travel. It is likely that Sonic's actual biological age is somewhere between sixteen and eighteen, whereas in the games, his is nearly always referred to as fifteen. The comic occasionally implied that "Sonic" is just a nickname. According to former writer [[Ken Penders]], Sonic's true first name in the comic's continuity is "Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog". However, this was never mentioned in any story and is not considered canon. Current writer [[Ian Flynn]] has stated that he won't be revisiting the topic and is content with simply calling the hero Sonic. In any case, his middle name has been stated to be "Maurice" and his actual last name is "Hedgehog." However, this no longer matters as the "[[Worlds Collide]]" event reset the universe and the new universe became more in line with the games. ===Setting=== At the beginning of the series, the year is 3235, now it is the year 3237. [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Sonic]] lives on [[Mobius (Archie)|Planet Mobius]] in [[Robotropolis (Archie)|Mobotropolis]]. Other notable areas of setting include [[Knothole Village (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Knothole Village]], the [[Angel Island (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Angel Island]], [[Station Square (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Station Square]], [[Downunda]] and [[New Megaopolis]]. It was revealed in [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 125|issues 125]] and [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 148|148]] that Mobius is actually a future Earth (in an alternative reality and in ''[[Sonic X]]'', it is officially present on Earth), the year being 14,016 [[Wikipedia:Common Era|CE]]. It is unknown why the Mobian year is so low by contrast, though it is speculated that the year was reset during the events known in Echidna theology as the "Days of Fury" (when [[Isaac]]'s creators Professor Clarke & Doctor Niven attempted to preserve Earth's environment after the Xorda used the gene bomb, which ended disastrously). Following the aftermath of the Worlds Collide event, the entire universe had been reset and changed.
