Lightning The Hedgehog

Name: Lightnong

Time Of Creation: 2010

Gender: Male

Species: Hedgehog

Weapon Of Choice: Lightning

Owned By: Anthony Mathis

First Appearance: The Apocalypse 4: Final Wars

Info: Lightning was Mekkaku's final experiment before his defeat. His creation began in The Apocalypse when Mekkaku found out Jason Bower's weakness. Lightning has the ability to control, well, lightning. He was unaware of his purpose until a visit by Marek The Mysterious Employer, who told him everything and made sure to mention NOT to kill Jason. He is also informed that Jason's weakness is Lightning and uses this to his advantage when fighting. He is one of the few villains in the Apocalypse universe to make it to the next story, where he is subsequently killed. His temper is not to be messed with. The Blades (which consists of Dess The Hedgehog, Maverick The Hedgehog, and Rave The Weasel) know this well as they are recruited by Lightning as well as the Skulls (which consists of Viper The Hedgehog, Myst The Echidna, and Prowler The Fox). On a side note, Lightning may be the one person in the world that you absoltely DON'T want to get mad. Unless, you know... you WANT to die. Just sayin.

Background
Many people had ideas for a fan character who looked like Super Sonic. And everyone called him Lightning. But none of them had what writers like to call "character". The Apocalypse version of Lightning was created before Anthony Mathis realized that others already had the idea. Problem was, the others were'nt really seen with lightning. They just looked like Super Sonic with a different name. This Lightning has lightning bolts on his gloves and shoes. It's explained in the series that Lightning is a direct clone of Super Sonic. During a fight with Super Sonic, Mekkaku managed to extract some of his DNA. During Lightning's final stages in development, the militery found the container in the rubble of Mephiles' base. They brought it back to their base where Lightning broke out and activated the plot of The Apocalypse 4: Final Wars.

Developing A Personality
After his background was completed, it was time to figure out how Lightning would react to people. It was decided that he would be totally evil and not care who he hurts. It was also decided that when he was angry, he was angry. He hates humans, especially Jason, and enjoys Mephiles' plan to wipe them all out.
