ARCHIMEDES' ANSWERS 2001

Did or does Spectre (insert Guardian name) have a wife?

Yes, even if the person in question has not been introduced, all Guardian's have had a spouse.

Turbo Tails is now the strongest transformation? How?

Turbo Tails has always been the strongest transformation as Tails has more latent power than Sonic or Knuckles as his destiny as The Chosen One will be fulfilled hopefully one day long into the future.

Gala-Na in the comics keeps changing colors. From the first time we see her (when they all reach Albion), she is purple, and then in the storyline where she has hired Nic and Nack the Weasels to catch Knuckles, she is red. Which is correct, and why does she keep changing colors??

Her purple color is correct. She's been changing colors as a result of colorist Frank Gagliardo not knowing her true color. When Ken Penders took over the coloring chores for an issue, he put her back to her purple color. It'll be fixed when Archie actually makes records of things like that for newcomers to the comics.

Can Mighty and the rest of the Choatix use the chaos emeralds to turn Super or Hyper or Turbo ect.?

No they cannot.

Why did Knuckles turn green? How in the world did Knuckles jump from metallic red Hyper to emerald green Hyper Knuckles?

Knuckles turned green as an extension of his natural powers being revealed (which happened to save himself from being killed in an explosion). He is not Hyper Knuckles in this form.

Can (green) Knux do anything he wants? Does he have any limits?

No he cannot do anything he wants as evident by his very unsuccessful attempts to alter time. All power weilded by someone has limits.

Aren't Knuckles & Julie-su going to have 2 kids because Julie gets pregant when Lara-su is 14? Do you know anything about him/her?

Yes, they will have 2 kids. Nothing is known about their second child.

Is Julie-su stronger than Knuckles in strength, skill, speed, or none?

None, she's smarter than he is. Though, they are equal in skill.

Has Sonic Adventure 2 comics come out? Will Shadow ever be in a Sonic/Knuckles comic?

The SA2 "adaptation" was in Sonic #98. Shadow had his own story in that issue.

How does Sonic transform into Ultra Sonic?

With a huge amount of chaos energy. The actual amount of energy is unknown, but thousands of power rings or using part of the energy of a super emerald is sufficient.

Can you explain the Guardians of the Floating Island and the Dark Legion for me please?

Short explanation: After Enerjak's brief reign over the Floating Island ended, the Echidna Council put most of the blame for the creation of Enerjak on their technology and decided to surpress it. The position of Guardian was created to protect the echidnas and at the time to help the technological supression. The Dark Legion was formed in reaction as they wanted to keep and continue to advance their technology. This created a civil war among the echidnas and the Dark Legion's goals have broadened to complete takeover of the echidnas. It's a big feud that has gone on for generations.

Is Kragok in love with someone? Is Kragok dead?

As revealed in the family tree in Sonic #103, Kragok was married and had a child. Nothing else is known on that front other than that. In Sonic #100, Kragok and Tobor were both killed.

When will the Knuckles comics come to (insert country/state/province here)?

True Red Note: Archie doesn't distribute all the comics it publishes in every country in the world (currently isn't really distributing Knuckles that much either) and that's not something that will ever change. The best I can do to help you out is to find an import and/or comic shop that'll get them for you or order them online if you can. The online places listed ship worldwide, though shipping might be high depending on where you live. Sorry, much cannot be done there.

Where did the Chaotix go to after the explosion and Knux jumped off the Island?

The Chaotix (Espio, Mighty, Vector, & Ray) are trapped in another zone along with all the inhabitants of the Floating Island, with the exceptions of Knuckles and Julie-Su.

How does Vector defend himself/fight? (e.g. Knuckles punches, digs, climbs, etc...)

Vector has his own unique spin using his scales. He also happens to be the most agile of the Chaotix--which is why he can free himself from being tied-up easily--and uses his walkman as a weapon by turning up the sound really, REALLY high to hurt his adversaries.

Who does Remington like?

Komi-Ko, who was introduced in Super Special #14, is Remington's girlfriend.

Are Knuckles and Julie-Su going out?

Sort of. Neither has time to date, but they like each other that much to do it if they could.

When Kragok was arrested, did he ever get out?

Yes he did in Knuckles #18.

Does Knuckles have any cousins or uncles?

I'm not sure since I don't know Lara-Le's family at all.

I'm kinda new at Knux, DL, and such... What's with this pic I saw of Dimitri as a robot? Did he get robotized or something?

No, he had his power as Enerjak drained from him in Knuckles #9 by Mammoth Mogul and to save his life the Dark Legion gave him tons of cybernetic attachments. Dimitri is nearly 400 years old, so he would of died without the attachments.

How old are Knuckles/Sonic/Tails/The Chaotix and the Freedom Fighters? Who is Remington? (etc. on character basics)

Hate to say it, but ages are already listed in The EST Files. Check there. Remington tells you who he is since his organization "hosts" the section.

Did Dimitri have a wife?

es he did. Her name is currently unknown at this time. She was shown in a flashback during the first issues of the Knuckles regular series.

If Tails is the "Chosen One", he is stronger than Super Sonic and Hyper Knuckles, right?

Yes, that is correct.

Is it true that Mammoth Mogul defeated Athair and the Ancient Walkers? How?

Nope, that's false. Check out the summary for Sonic #56 for the full story.

I've heard that Charmy and Espio are good friends, but I've also heard that they hate each other. Which is true?

Espio & Charmy are very good friends. True Red Note: The opposite is basically true in the Fleetway comics. Do not confuse the two series. Archie & Fleetway are radically different comics.

Is there any comic where Tobor and Kragok escape the Twilight Zone place thing?

Yes, Sonic #100.

Is the new Knuckles (with the chaos energy) stronger than Mighty?

Currently, the only known being more powerful than current "green" Knuckles is the "real" Turbo Tails.

What is the first comic that includes Lara-Su? Will Knuckles: 20 Years Later ever show up since the specials and the Knuckles series are gone?

Lara-Su is scheduled to make her debut in Sonic #106, which is also the first comic to have "elements" of K:20YL inside it. The story won't ever show up in it's true format most likely, but the general story will be given over a currently unknown span of Sonic the Hedgehog issues.

I heard that Espio Chameleon is claustrophobic. Is that true?

Espio hasn't ever shown any kind of phobia so far, so I'd have to say "no."

Why do all female echidnas have dashes before the last two letters? (e.g. Julie-Su, Lara-Le...?)

It's a tradition for female echidnas to be given two syllable names and their mother's hyphenated suffix is added to the name of their daughter's (e.g. Mari-Su to Julie-Su to Lara-Su). The "inspiration" of this tradition is rumored to be a copy from Superman comics and Superman's homeworld of Krypton, but on Krypton it was among the men (e.g. Kal-el, Jor-el). In Knuckles comics, it's among the women instead and in effect creating a bit of a matriarchal society where the females pass their name down instead of the the men (as is the tradition in most societies in real life).

Is Kragok related to Julie-Su?

They are half-siblings, so yes they are related. They have the same father, but different mothers.

Are all the Dark Legion related? I mean, is Kragok related to Dimitri?

Yes, all the grandmasters are descendents of Dimitri. Kragok is Dimitri's great-great-grandson.

In the Super Special where the Floating Island got blown up and the Dark Legion took over (Dimitri is a cyborg in this one) On the two pages where Lara- Le and Wyn get married , who is that sitting beside Knuckles ? I have seen her in a previous issue but I had borrowed it from a classmate and did not see which one!!!!????

I'll assume that you aren't talking about Julie-Su (the pink echidna next to Knuckles) and will refer to the red echidna next to him. She hasn't been given a name, but she made an appearance in Knuckles #6 and was one of the echidna hostages in the same room as Lara-Le and was rescued by Knuckles and myself in the first few pages of that issue, along with Lara-Le and Wyn. To clarify one thing, the Floating Island wasn't blown up in Super Special #14. There was just an explosion in part of the Floating Island (unfortunately the explosion occurred where Knux was).

If Knuckles doesn't know how to swim, then how come he jumped into the oasis in his second comic and didn't drown?

It wasn't until Knuckles #12 that Archie made the decision that Knuckles "supposedly" can't swim. All issues prior to Knuckles #12, Knuckles swam without hesitation, including Knuckles #8 (when Enerjak was trying to get Knux to bow down to him by seeming allowing Knux to drown in the ocean). However, Knux did swim again in Sonic #84 to help out Super Sonic defeat Perfect Chaos, so it's more Knuckles has a fear of water than not being able to swim (as far as the story goes in Archie).

Is Mighty stronger than Knux?

In terms of physical strength, yes.

Is Knuckles faster than Sonic?

No.

Is Mighty Knuckles' Second in Command?

There isn't a clear cut leader of the Chaotix in Archie, so I'd have to say "no" for now.

What's Sally's middle name?

Her middle name is Alicia, her mother's first name.

What is Knuckles'/Remington's (insert any male echidna) first, middle, and/or last name?

In echidna society, all male echidnas have just ONE name. They do not really have first, middle, or last names. If you insist on giving them a "full" name, it would be "Knuckles The Echidna" or "Remington The Echidna", etc. where "The" would be their middle name and "Echidna" would be their last name.
