“	Angel Island. A land of miracles. Of mysteries. My home. I am its guardian. I watch over the Master Emerald and every living thing here... Any other kind of civilization is long since disappeared from the island. I do things on my own and that's just how I like it. I don't need anyone else to get by. But sometimes... I wonder how things would be if I hadn't been given this responsibility. Why was I chosen for this duty? Perhaps it's karma...	„

Summary

Knuckles the Echidna, or simply Knuckles is a major supporting character in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. He is the last remaining members of the Knuckles Clan and is the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful and ancient relic which Knuckles is steadfast in his duty to protect from those seeking to abuse its power. Knuckles would eventually come into contact with Dr. Robotnik who would trick Knuckles into believing that Sonic and Tails were attempting to use the Master Emerald for ill will. Knuckles would come to see Dr. Eggman for who he really was, joining Sonic and Tails in thwarting the mad doctor and in the process making a new ally and rival in Sonic.

Knuckles' personality contrasts that of Sonic, he is a loner by nature, often prioritizing his duty in guarding the Master Emerald whilst Sonic can never seem to stand still. Whilst Sonic is the wind blowing free, Knuckles is the immovable mountain, often being referred to as the mountain to Sonic's wind. Whilst Knuckles isn't stupid, he is shown to have gullible tendencies, occasionally falling for Eggman's schemes. Despite this, Knuckles possesses a good and noble heart that is willing to stand up to those who threaten the world.

Super Forms can move and function within the Egg Reverie Zone, a place where space and time are continuously shifting, even to points that shouldn't exist, whilst base forms can only float aimlessly)

  • Empathic Manipulation & Nonduality (Type 2 - Dreams & Nightmares) & Enhanced Abstract Existence (Type 1 for their energy; Due to the Chaos Emerald's energy being the super-substances and giving vitality to all living things, their energy is both part of and more abstract than abstract beings such as The End, Void, which is additionally stated to be part of the emotions necessary for dreams to exist, and even Illumina and the Precioustone)

• Law Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Data Manipulation & Information Manipulation (Type 2; The Chaos Emeralds act as the very basis of the Ancients' technology, with the gems powering all their systems including Cyber Space. Cyberspace is a referred to as a separate digital world by The End as well as a digital dimension by Dr. Eggman which can obtain external information/data from the universe and materialize it within itself. Tails surmised that Cyber Space stores information down to the very essence of the Ancients' beings including their hopes, dreams & memories and even their souls. When a being enters Cyber Space, their memories physically alter and change the realm depending upon their memories. The barrier surrounding the Starfall Islands was stated to defy the laws of the world, manifesting logical disparities down to the bottom of causality. When it used the Chaos Emeralds to fuse, Solaris was stated to be capable of destroying all of reality in all time periods. That would include Cyber Space by extension)

Above Average (Possesses extensive knowledge of ancient civilizations, shown to be able to translate an ancient language in the Gigan Rocks).

Extraordinary Genius (He's a skilled combatant and is consistently referred to as a master martial artist who has fight Sonic to a draw. Could beat Mirror Fighter and Metal Sonic in under 1 minute each and the E-Mech in Hyper Mode within 17 seconds, with Metal Sonic possessing the combined skill and abilities of the entire cast of Sonic the Fighters. Constantly fought and trained Emerl as he gained more Chaos Emeralds and awoken more of his ancient combat data, even being able to train with him after he acquired all 7 Chaos Emeralds. In the wake of Sonic's defeat at the hands of Infinite, it was Knuckles who led the Resistance as it's commander against Eggman in an effort to repel his attempts at global domination. Sonic regards him as one of the two best-trained fighters among himself and his friends)

Weaknesses: Is gullible, with Eggman often taking advantage of this. His attacks are considered easy to read by Sonic

Tag Actions (タッグアクション, Taggu Akushon) are unique moves that Amy receives when teamed up with a partner, mostly differing depending upon whether it's done on solid ground or while in the air. When performing a Tag Action, her partner will perform a Spin Jump into her arms before it's performed.

Wisps are a sentient race of aliens, a large portion of them deciding to reside upon Sonic's planet after being saved by him due to taking a liking to Earth. Also referred to as Color Powers when their energy is being harnessed, they provide Knuckles with an array of powers and abilities to utilize.

• Cyan Laser: Using the power of a Cyan Wisp, Knuckles transforms into a cyan laser beam. As the Cyan Laser, Knuckles gains the same properties as that of a real laser, allowing him to move as a living beam of light. When hitting any surfaces as the Cyan Laser, Knuckles can also bounce off them as if they were a reflective surface.
• Indigo Asteroid: Using the power of an Indigo Wisp, Knuckles turns into an orb-shaped body with striped indigo skin and a matching planetary ring encircling his middle. As the Indigo Asteroid, Knuckles essentially becomes a miniature planet with a strong gravitational field. Knuckles is as such capable of creating a powerful gravitational pull around himself, strong enough to tear all kinds of objects to pieces and pull them into the Asteroid Ring. Additionally, the gathered matter can be used to empower the gravitational pull. The Indigo Asteroid also grants Knuckles the ability to levitate through midair.
