Geoffrey St. John

Geoffrey St. John is a character originally from Sonic Archie Comics, originally created by Ken Penders for a miniseries focused on Sally Acorn, but who later became a regular character in the comics.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) Geoffrey was at first supposed to be one of Freedom Fighters' main heroes as well as a love interest for Sally, however after his debut appearance in the Sally miniseries he had his role reduced to a pointless rival for Sonic. As the plot progresses he gets more and more perverse with Sonic until he becomes a villain.
 * 2) When the main characters like Sonic and Sally were established as teenagers in the late 90s, Geoffrey remained a adult, which disrupts the fact that he has already had relationships and kissed Sally several times before which would make him a PEDOPHILE!
 * 3) *According to Ken Panders, he was supposed to have a sexual encounter with Sally at some point! Thankfully, it wasn't included because it was too inappropriate for young readers.
 * 4) He is one of the characters that has the most inconsistent design throughout the evolution of the comic in the pre-Ian Flynn era.
 * 5) His rivalry with Sonic makes no sense to begin with, mainly because he ignores the fact that Sonic is primarily responsible for foiling Robotnik's plans and other enemies of the kingdom.
 * 6) Hypocrisy: At one point he calls Sonic a brat and he must not do any missions because he is minor, although one of his team members Wombat Stu is also a minor.
 * 7) He was responsible for making Elias give up being king and flee his post, since Geoffrey was being very bossy and forcing him to rule the kingdom the way he wanted to.
 * 8) He appears in Lara-Su Chronicles, his design in this comic is disturbing.
 * 9) He betrays the Freedom Fighters and allies himself with Ixis Naugus.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His design is cool and cute.
 * 2) He was a decent character on his debut in the Sally miniseries.
 * 3) He had the potential to be a good character.
 * 4) His romance with Hershey was decent.

Trivia

 * His creator, Ken Penders, is strongly hated by the Sonic fanbase, for being known as a terrible writer, in addition to having already tried to boycott the comic and accuse Sega of stealing his ideas for games.
