Since the beginning of his series, Sonic has been portrayed as a champion of peace, risking his life to stop the evil schemes of a variety of violent foes, particularly [[Dr. Eggman]]. His trademark power is an ability to run at supersonic speed, hence his name. He is generally portrayed as a heroic and headstrong character, with a bit of a tendency towards cockiness and recklessness. Sonic is often aided in his adventures by a vast number of other animal characters, most commonly his close friends [[Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], [[Amy Rose]], and [[Shadow the Hedgehog]].
