Silver the Hedgehog

Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Shirubā za Hejjihoggu?) is a re-accruing character in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He is an anthropomorphic hedgehog hailing from two hundred years into the future where his role is to protect his timeline by changing the catastrophes of the past, thus preventing the ruining of his era. He first debuted in the video game Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is a brave optimistic hero who wants to do whatever it takes to save his future from the ruins it was left in.
 * 2) He is a selfless and good-hearted individual who cares for his friends and has a strong sense of justice.
 * 3) His story in Sonic '06 is amazing. He was tricked by Mephiles the Dark into thinking Sonic the Hedgehog was the Iblis Trigger and needed to be killed in order to save the future, but later gets interrupted by Shadow the Hedgehog during his second encounter with Sonic to discover they both can use Chaos Control. Shadow helps him discover the truth about Mephiles and the fact that he tricked him the whole time to carry out his plan to destroy the past, so he makes his efforts to set things right, become allies with Sonic and helps him, along with his friends (Plus Princess Elise) to defeat Mephiles.
 * 4) He has a very good chemistry with his best friend, Blaze the Cat.
 * 5) He is extremely likable. Not only a cool and appealing design, but he is also a naive and pretty dorky character with a charming soft dork-ish voice.
 * 6) His Psycokinesis powers are very cool and nice to see it in action. It allows him to move objects with the power of his mind.
 * 7) He returned in future Sonic games to help them stop otherworldly threats like in Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like mentioned before, he is naive and lacks the ability to think critically, Similar to Knuckles (this can also cause him to be easily tricked). He is also known to be somewhat immature.
 * 2) He was flanderized in his Pre-Super Genesis Wave version of himself and is extremely unlikable. Probably his character at his worst.
 * 3) Although not a bad voice actor himself, Bryce Papenbrook's current role as Silver doesn't even fit the character and the voice sounds way too young for him.
