Sonic the Hedgehog (Underground)

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protoganist from the video game franchise of the same name. He is the brother of Sonia and Manic, the friend of Knuckles, and one of the main protagonists of Sonic Underground. He was voiced by Jaleel White in the English dub, and Olivier Korol in the French dub.

Why He Sucks
NOTE: This is only focusing on the Sonic Underground TV version of Sonic, since his video game and other TV versions of him are likable.
 * 1) This version of Sonic has a poor grasp to his own source material, as his backstory was changed in which he had a brother and sister.
 * 2) His design is very outdated and/or rehashed, and is especially laughable since he looks more like a fan-made character that was made using DeviantArt.
 * 3) He tries way too hard to be cool, but he always comes off as a major dork. Sounds familiar much?
 * 4) His singing voice (which is provided by Samuel Vincent) is just horrible.
 * 5) He combines the corniest and cheesiest parts about Sonic from both Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic SatAM, and you basically have this Sonic in a nutshell.
 * 6) *As with most western adaptations, he is usually seen scarfing down on so many chili dogs, in a rather gluttonous and obnoxious way.
 * 7) Despite his cocky demeanor, he can sometimes have low expectations for almost everything.
 * 8) His voice is at its worse here, as he sounds super annoying in this show, to the point where his voice from the two above Sonic shows sound more tolerable (and at least were good for the most part).

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He's the least focused and (usually) the least serious of the three, but also the one who wreaks the most havoc with Robotnik's plans.
 * 2) Sonic is a slightly caustic wisecracker, but he seriously cares about Mobius and his siblings and is determined to see Robotnik fall.
 * 3) His character design is at least identical to his AOSTH and SATAM design.
 * 4) His Latin American dub voice sounds much better.
 * 5) *At least Jaleel White (English) and Olivier Korol (French) reprise their role as Sonic, as was usual with DiC.
 * 6) *Also, his singing voice is passable in the songs "Someday", "I Found My Home", and "Teach the Children, Light the Way".
 * 7) He has some funny moments here and there.
 * 8) His next TV appearance, Sonic X, portrayed him a lot better.

Trivia

 * This version of Sonic was the first alternate Sonic featured in the Archie Comics who was taken from an existing branch of the Sonic franchise rather than created new; he would later be followed by the version of Sonic from the universe of Sonic X.
 * Sonic's story-and that of the Sonic Underground series-was intended to be resolved in a single-issue story that was going to be included in Sonic Universe #50, but this was later abandoned.
 * This version of Sonic would be the last to have Jaleel White voicing him.
 * Sonic's quote "I'm waiting" was a common phrase used by his counterparts in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series.
