Ken penders archie comics6/24/2023 Where Ken Penders comes into this is decidedly more. These characters were designed by Bioware under contract from SEGA, and were loosly based off the plot of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Battle (of all things, with the reintroduction of Gizoids). Heh, no that's not it. Sonic Chronicles, made by Bioware, had an Echidna tribe as a key part of its plot. Due to this lawsuit, modern Sonic side-media like the IDW comics (and maybe some mobile games) are far more highly regulated by SEGA. I think Penders won that lawsuit (I'm no legal expert, so I can't explain why exactly). He sued SEGA (or those other companies) because even tho the Sonic franchise belongs to SEGA, those characters were basically plagiarized. Not a Sonic expert, but from what I heard from some Sonic fans a long time ago - The DS game "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" had characters in the story that were basically rip-offs of pre-existing characters from the Archie Comic series (specifically ones that Penders created).
