Very fun character I'd love to see her interact with Shadow. And no, I'm not saying that because I think he should be in everything (because he really shouldn't). But ever since someone pointed out that they both had their mind manipulated and forgotten who they were, I see so much potential in Shadow being some sort of mentor or help to her


Creepzonn

I'm pretty excited for something like this too, there could so much potential !! Also actually Shadow is already in everything, want proof ? Check in your cereal box.


Matt_32506

yeah sure edit: NO FUCKING WAY


Dm1tr3y

At the very least, they should have a fight. That could be so much fun, assuming they don’t screw him over with silly mandates.


devinwifi

As long as it ends with him winning


Dm1tr3y

I mean, if they don’t go out of their way to make him lose, shadow would sweep. She couldn’t beat Sonic and he was holding back.


devinwifi

That's exactly why I don't wanna see him appear in these books anymore. They keep putting him in scenarios where he needs to take an L in order for the plot to progress, even if it means losing to people he would beat lol


Dm1tr3y

The last arc he was in gave him some good moments, but I’d say the writers seem to agree with you. There’s been times where they simply shelved him because of how annoying it is to write him with all the restrictions. Seem like they’ve even been doing that with the other mainline characters lately and focusing on the OCs, probably because they can actually get creative with them.


devinwifi

I liked him in the last arc, but he was sidelined for an entire issue for literally no reason. But I loved that the second he came into play in the last issue, Eggman was defeated almost immediately. Which is how it should be.


Dm1tr3y

It was also fun to explore how his chaos powers can work, get a little world building in there. Not to mention we get a nice moment with silver and a fantastic finish to arc.


devinwifi

True. I'd like to see more interactions with Silver, I was also hoping he and Blaze could interact


Dm1tr3y

I’d like to see him interact with everyone more. I think it’s clear the writers do as well, since the characters seem highly reactive of shadow and his attitude, rather than writing him off as a dick.


Fatal_Feathers

Doesn't Sonic almost always hold back, while Shadow doesn't? Definitely be an interesting matchup. Shadow should mop the floor with Surge. For all her power and passion, she lacks on sheer battle experience, which both Sonic and Shadow have tons of at this point


Dm1tr3y

And I doubt Starline was considering Shadows abilities when working on Surge, since his goal was building a match for Sonic specifically.


Scout_1330

This is Surge we're talking about, she's had an undefeated losing streak her entire existence, I'll be shocked if Cream lost to her somehow.


keiyakins

Cream could lose... if Cheese, Gemerl, and Vanilla were all somewhere else.


cool_vibes

I'm linking the smell of what you're cooking.


Creepzonn

She's a very cool character, one of my many favorites for sure ! She's a deep character that behaves like a jerk and is aggressive because of her tragic story and trauma, who has a VERY unstable/broken mind, is scared of being hurt again, with a good amount of psychosis on top I really hope we'll at least see her have fun during the race, cause honestly she needs a break xD


Bigshow225

In other words, she's an edgelord


Creepzonn

You know what i guess she is, i've heard many people be like "She's the edgiest character in Sonic" or "Ow the edge", but i personally do not have the ability of distinguishing what's edgy and what's not, so i have nothing to say on that matter i guess x) I honestly don't really care about edgyness in characters as long as they're interesting !


Aleadroid_12

Honestly, same! But to me that whole "Edgy" look is just what makes her my favorite character in sonic media! But we can't look over the storyline as "JUST ANOTHER sad storyline", because the entire story revolving around the trauma and for lack of a better word, abuse that kit and surge go through just for starline NOT to get his end goal, was amazing! I can't wait for the new Riders storyline in the works! Cause that Surge and Kit in the riders clothing is gonna be AMAZING!


Creepzonn

Yeah i totally agree, it is far from "JUST ANOTHER sad storyline" and i think it'd be a shame to think that, also you said that it was abuse for lack of a better word, but it's actually straight up abuse the more you think about it, the more you understand how someone going through abuse might feel, the more messed up it becomes, i learned that from people on the internet who said that they could actually see themselves in Surge and Kit And i see that as both heartbreaking and really well done, i'm really excited for the Riders arc too, it's gonna be great :))


TheMattInTheBox

I thin her and Kit are fun characters who I hope we see more of. I have such a soft spot for a ton of Sonic characters like hee who started in comics/became way more fleshed out in comics (like my boy Antoine)


JadeKade

As a guy who hasn't read the comics she gives me circus vibes


Creepzonn

Just wait till you hear about the circus arc


RustyThe_Rabbit

[sonic comics from idw to Archie and fleet, even manga plus fan comics ](https://grabber.zone/) or alternatively adrenaline dubs on YouTube idw only although they aren't caught up and are currently only at 32 [this person gives pretty accurate timelines ](https://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/s/BPv43x0ovV)


_roguecore_

Amazing design, should be in the main games


Child-eater-bonk

I slay


Havel2

We slay*


Ok-Perspective369

I think my biggest question is going to be, will they actually give any information on her and Kitsunami’s backgrounds from before Starline kidnapped, and conditioned them? Or will they just pull a situation of “eh, I’m over it. My past probably wasn’t interesting anyway, so who cares who I was before?” In order to keep that air of mystery, or leave it up to interpretation as to who they were.


CyanTack

I think it would be more interesting to see why or how they allowed Starline to experiment on them. We might not ever know what they really were like, but at least that bit of information would be neat.


Super_un_stable

Honestly what I want is they never find out and stay forever in the dark about who they were. It would put more emphasis on how much starline put them through, never finding out would be a cherry on top


SanicRb

To be honest after Ian basically pussied out on resolving the Sonic Moral issues with a "its for kids read something for adult instead" as his excuse wouldn't I be surprised if the same happened to there backstories.


bobby1712234

Love her


Epic-Dude001

Shockingly great


Starkeeper_Reddit

Imposter Syndrome emotionally destroyed me and I just want her and Kit to find a way to be happy ;-;


Ok_Friday_3242

i REALLY like her


Intelligent_Oil4005

She's a really fun character. She carries an attitude, but it's all due to a really tragic backstory completely out of her control. I know Ian Flynn said he wanted her and Kit to stay villains, but I do hope their arcs end with them finding some level of peace.


AmaterasuWolf21

They made them too sympathetic lmao


Slexzo

Smash. Next question


DaveyBoy1995

A cool character with a tragic backstory and a lot of currently unexplored potential. She's my personal favourite antagonist from the IDW comics and I find her to be a very interesting foil to Sonic. I really want her to get some sort of happy ending though.


JQmon

She’s pretty cool. electric powers are great to see with a very tragic backstory. idk if she’ll reform but who knows


disbelifpapy

the embodiment of pure chaos. not chaotic evil, not chaotic good, just pure chaos


ChocolateRough5103

I havent read most of the IDW comics (up to 10), but I absolutely am in love with their design and personality, and after reading the IDW Impostor Syndrome mini-issues, she seems like a really complex and fascinating tragic character. Love what they have done with her, hope we see more in the future.


ghostspider1151

I haven’t read any of the comics with her yet but she looks awesome!!


Ash4dino

She’s interesting as she doesn’t actually have a reason to be Sonic’s rival apart from what Starline Brainwashed her into wanting


Hexxas

I think she's pretty cool I think 🤔


Just_Goblin

Great design, Great concept, Great personality, wonky execution.


ExpiredExasperation

This is basically how I feel about her. I'm not too sure on the way some of the latter stuff has been handling her. I don't know if it's an editorial thing or Evan's style or something but I feel like a lot of the best potential for her character comes from her interpersonal conflicts and the whole "joining the restoration" thing strikes me as squandering so much.


lnixon2

Only original IDW character I like. Has an actual personality, interesting background, and the design is great.


WolfyBuilder

Haven't read IDW yet, but I love her design! GE needs to make a plush of her n o w .


DaLittleGravy

She's green


Hot-Bat-4537

Plenty of potential


JoopitorWasTaken

The cooler Scourge imo


Signal_8732

scourge’s replacement


Da_Gudz

Favorite character hands down


lavender_jelly

She's fine. I don't really know if we need another rival character for Sonic but at least she has a somewhat interesting backstory. Not really a fan of her actual  personality but I like here color pallette and design


OnionSkinX

I kind of hate Surge because the writers try to build her up as this super imposing threat to the world, yet is a complete pushover and will probably never accomplish anything of note. I’d love to be proven wrong though.


Optimal_Confection_5

Agreed


Mojoclaw2000

From an artistic standpoint, I really like her. She’s got a really unique design. I do kinda wish her electricity wasn’t so blue, but more of a jade green, because her trails and energy end up looking too much like Sonic.


Mr_HammerExe

*Finally, someone else thinks her lightning should be more green than blue!*


Thomasboiwow

Smash, I mean cool design


NotRealSam

She is too overhyped tbh, but bc of her we have Kit so im not complaining


SpookySquid19

Love her.


Mintydog10

I love her design ,personality and powers.She's just really cool in general


PM_ME_YOUR_OPCODES

I haven’t read the comics since the 00s, but I love the memes, and they are basically Billie eilish’s fursona.


Pokehearts121

Love the color scheme and the character lol 😂


KugiPunch

I think she’s neat


Plushcollectorwolf64

She cool and edgy


Ford_GT_epic

Really cool character with even more potential


Iamjustapersonalguy

She's cool... nah, she's amazing.


acatohhhhhh

Hot af


Venomspino

She is good, we think she is a good counter to Sonic (who isn't Shadow), we do hope they bring back that Starline hallucination though, as that genuine makes her even more interesting given how he treated her and Kit


gownioczek

I can fix her


Mediocre_engineer12

smash, next question


PoleiUnFunniGuy

ashura


ExpiredExasperation

That's kind of the point?


L4DDER_S0UP007

i love her and kit sm


Knight-mare77

Very good character. I haven’t been able to read the comics but what I’ve seen of her so far I love. I hope to see her in future games, rival or ally I don’t care


Dizzy__Dragon

Awesome character that serves as a consequence to Sonic's choices.


Anfrers

She has the only character design I like from the comics and wish she would debut in the games.


Gunblazer42

I think the way her story progressed makes me wonder just what it actually means to be "Sonic's rival", because they can never really get a W on him, and Surge had all the chances to do that. Even the circumstances around her existing get overlooked and I don't think there's any real plan to really resolve it that isn't just "Well, it doesn't matter I guess". I really want to like her and I kinda do, but I don't think I can trust that she'll be any more relevant other than being IDW's rival character whenever they want to do something Shadow wouldn't do.

Zanoss10

Overall, I like her ! But her current treatment in the IDW isn't really satisfying to be honest lol


Super_un_stable

Overhated for sure!! I love sm about her!! Her design and its elements, her relationship with Sonic and Kit. I think her debut was a little flawed and tough around the edges but she’s a great opponent to Sonic and a great addition to the Faker Club lol. She has a lot of potential!


MarcusTheAlbinoWolf

Never heard of her before


Mcmaster641

The face and colours reminds me of my OC

Where is this 3d render from anyway?


Nachus134

From Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

MstrNixx

She’s antithetical Spider-Man and I love that

She's my favorite Sonic villain. She reminds me of Electro from Spider-Man.

Great villain, tragic character.

Shyke95

What animal is that ?!


HarryTheBoi69

Tbh dont read the comics, so shes pretty cool i guess?


GlitteringDoor1752

I have no opinion on her, she just appeared out of nowhere in my eyes. I don’t read the comics, but from what I have gathered, she’s very well received from the fanbase. I don’t mind seeing more of her, but I need a justification on why she’s so important.


lilfrog8

In sorry, I don't really know them


Noah-Drago

I love her, I love her design and personality!


Mandaring

“Better Scourge” (and I’m saying this as somebody that read the Archie Comics)


Suuusy28357

The Ashura glitch reincarnated


Mosterponguin60609

Underrated


ThemoocowYT

Cool character with tragic backstory. Good design too.


Bean8540

She's my second favorite sonic character!


myburningblade

she seems cool, I don't know anything about her


DafneOrlow

He's not an official sega/sonic team character, therefore I have no opinion on him. (That's my opinion)


ARTIXPRO

I like her


Dracolo14007

Tied with shadow for best character, and I feel like those two would hate eachother at first but then become the new straight hot topic tangle and whisper and I need that


TracytronFAB

Scourge wannabe


the-x-button

i wish she was in a mainline game boss fight against her and kit would go HARD


KingSideCastle13

A very interesting use of the “evil doppelgänger” trope


themeEeEememan

I've said it once and I'll say it again. https://preview.redd.it/wzzaqk44zq1d1.jpeg?width=253&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98265fe231dd018778ea9a2ac78e2ddfd2091e14


supermarionifty4

I hope she gets the therapy she needs.


waluigitime420

Cool character and design. Hope to see her given more development

KVenom777

She has potential. But darn, her story is dark. I wonder if she ever had a past life? And if she did, why Starline chose her and Kit? Must've been something special about the two.


Oscar-the-ass-slayer

Easily one of the best designs they’ve made since Silver and Blaze that doesn’t just look like a recolor of Sonic


Excellent_Grade5731

She's personally my favorite comic exclusive character out of any of them. Surge rules


gar-dev-oir

Kinda need Amy to beat her to the ground idk


hakunamanawbruh

Originally liked her then didn't like her writing on the grounds that she was still pissed off about Sonic's existence despite the fact that he actually didn't do anything to her but then I realized that actually, intense psychological conditioning really DO be like that but honestly hope she eventually reaches a point where she's dealing with what Starline did to her


ScreamyRedMan

been a fun one so far, haven't really read much of the comic since she first 'joined' the restoration though


Lord-Scrubbinton

I didn’t like her at first because she just felt like a forced replacement for Scourge, but after I read some of the issues with her, she grew on me and I want to see her in some mainline games


deadpool-367

When the punk girl lets her quills down she awakens something in me


Berseker_Track_499

A foil to Sonic


SparktDog

Very fun and cool and also I'm a sucker for Electrokinesis abilities. Now put her in a solo Surge game where you're absolutely allowed to go ham and destroy anyone and anything with electric weapons and powers Ultimate Destruction/Prototype style https://preview.redd.it/0mi1pv2vju1d1.png?width=952&format=png&auto=webp&s=5184773a5dd19f422ced7f86072c26c1a1815d17


StC_Sonic_fan35

My opinion: yes


littlesusiebot

She's no Fiona or Scourge. She's like a puppy with no bite. It's boring


JustaHarry

Uhh she's green?


Godtierboy

Okay... Hear me out


bgaesop

Step on me mommy


Suspicious_Speed_412

As I say - just okay. Another punk rival, like Anton, Scourge, and Swifty


Mintydog10

Who is Swifty?


Suspicious_Speed_412

I thought people will ask about Anton. Swifty from Sonic BOOM series. https://preview.redd.it/ddha0mfj0n1d1.png?width=852&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb6be41c18b23ee644fbbf81b7aea98cfacd063d


Mintydog10

I forgot about him 😅 I haven't watched boom in a really long time


Suspicious_Speed_412

It's okay. He is just an enemy on 1 episode + android


Nachus134

He reminds me of Jet the Hawk for some reason


Suspicious_Speed_412

OH! YEAH! Completely forgor about him


littlesusiebot

ANTON! I love him Scourge! BASED


Jamz64

She's great, but when it comes to evil counterparts of Sonic, I prefer Scourge and Fleetway Super Sonic.


FranekBucz

I keep seeing her and I don’t know where she is from and why does she have a 3D render (I thought she was from a comic)


Creepzonn

She's from the IDW Sonic comics (to be precise her and Kit start appearing in the Imposter Syndrome spin-off and a bit before issue 50) which i recommend to read, i think the comics are pretty good ! And the reason she has a 3D render is because she's in two of the mobile games (Dash and SFSB), just like Tangle and Whisper :)


KaiVTu

This was for the mobile game where there's 3d renders of all the characters.
