1="More ants to crush. I wonder if this world can offer me a real challenge... And as if to answer, the world sends me a trembling child. Are you going to fight and die here, or run away in fear again...? Fine. I will teach you fear, then pain... and then, well, at least the fear and pain will end."

Summary
Infinite is a major villain in the game Sonic Forces, created by Dr. Eggman specifically to surpass all his past humiliations and failures by "a thousand times."

He was originally a powerful and largely renowned and respected mercenary, regarded as the best there is, before taking up a job with Dr. Eggman. He and his squad were told to guard the base against Shadow the Hedgehog, but his squad is killed by Shadow, and he is forced to battle the hedgehog alone. After hearing the doctor call him and his squad useless, he is angered, and takes on Shadow. Unfortunately for him, he is easily defeated in three hits. Shadow regards him as a disgrace and calls him weak, and tells him to never show his face ever again. Infinite is then shown shaking, terrified by the experience.

Infinite, pride-broken, humiliated, horrified and traumatized, is overcome by those words; "You're weak." He screams out in anger at his genuine fear, and at his helplessness. Eggman then built Infinite from the ground up; he was reborn, as a powerful being engineered with the Phantom Ruby.

Statistics
Tier: 2-C, possibly 2-B

Name: Infinite

Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Classification: Anthropomorphic Jackal

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility and durability, Perception Manipulation (Able to create illusions of entire worlds so complex it mimics many aspects of reality to a perfect extent. It's so powerful to the point that the illusions become real, and when in this illusion reality, if you're hurt, then you are harmed both physically and mentally in reality. This can be pushed to inducing Mental Breakdowns), Flight, Energy Manipulation, Dual Warping (He has it on a limited scale, but Infinite is fully capable of manipulating virtual reality and reality itself at the same time, making something entirely real yet fake; making entire worlds, loopholes in time, and so on. Infinite can thus create, erase and redesign just about anything as he sees fit, turning something fake into something real, and vice versa. He can create virtual reality clones of himself, Shadow the Hedgehog, Chaos 0, Zavok and Metal Sonic that all contain the same build and same powers as their real counterpart, making it virtually impossible to tell apart, and so on), Star Creation, Light Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Void Manipulation (Using Null Space, he can effectively erase things from existence, sending them to a space devoid of anything at all), Gravity Manipulation, Telekinesis, Attack Reflection and Rectangular Constructs

Attack Potency: Multi-Universe level (Infinite is powered by the Phantom Ruby, which is stated by Tails to be affecting multiple dimensions, or universes, and was stated to contain limitless power. As stated, he is powered by the Phantom Ruby, which is also capable of warping and disrupting space-time and the fabric of the universe. Finally, Infinite is stated by Eggman to be the result of Eggman loathing every single defeat and humiliation at the hands of him, practically MADE to surpass ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he's EVER made by "a thousandfold," which would be a thousand times. Time Eater could erase all of time and space, and Solaris was even stronger than that. Not to mention that such a statement would put him above the Egg Wizard, who had the Power of the Stars, capable of stabilizing "parallel dimensions," like Sonic and Blaze's worlds), possibly Multiverse level (If Eggman is to be taken seriously about Infinite being a thousand times stronger than all his previous inventions, then Infinite fits right into this tier)

Speed: Infinite (Should be superior to Time Eater, who exists outside of time and space, and should be able to move in Null Space, which is devoid of anything, since he creates it)

Lifting Strength: Unknown

Striking Strength: Multi-Universal, possibly Multiversal

Durability: Multi-Universe level, possibly Multiverse level

Stamina: Extremely high

Range: Melee normally, several meters w/ energy blasts and Null Space

Standard Equipment: Phantom Ruby

Intelligence: Above Average (Can lead an entire squad and is regarded as the best mercenary in the world. He led Eggman's army extremely well, and was evidently smarter than Sonic)

Weaknesses: Arrogant

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Energy Spear: Infinite shoots a lance of powerful energy which then explodes upon contact with whatever it hits.
 * Null Space Rift: Infinite shoots out a small, black energy sphere, which expands and begins inhaling like a black hole, erasing whatever it consumes from existence.
 * Hypercube: Infinite summons red cubes, using them to home in on an enemy or rising them as walls or even using them as road blocks and such. If they touch the enemy, they will be transported into a virtual reality.
 * Red Hellzone: If Infinite's foe is hit by his Hypercube, they are injured and transported here, to a virtual recreation of reality where Infinite can make anything happen, and where things are even more dangerous. Infinite can activate different versions of this "virtual reality," and doesn't need to hit an enemy to activate it, either.
