Other Freedom Fighter Groups

There are several other factions of Freedom Fighters that play a minor role in the Sonic universe. All of them, with the exception of the Wolf Pack, were created for, and usely solely in, the comic series. The Wolf Pack, however, had been originally created in the cartoon series.

The Arctic Freedom Fighters consist of Guntiver, a wolf and the leader of the group, Erma, a female ermine who can turn invisible, Sealia, a seal with a French accent, Augustus, a polar bear,and the muscle of the team, and Flip, a penguin who has the ability to slide on ice with his feet.

The Mercian Freedom Fighters are group of Mercians led by Rob O' the Hedge against Eggman's new-sub boss Mordred Hood. Originally formed as the Crazy Kritter Freedom Fighters the group was the local resistance against, the High Sheriff, and it was located in DeerWood Forest. However tragedy fell as every single member, with the exception of rob was roboticized by the Sheriff. However now they are de-roboticezed and now fighting to restore Rob to the throne. They are all based on the tale of Robin Hood. Other members include Bow Sparrow, who takes over the group after Rob moves away with Mari-An, Friar Buck a pacifist who keeps records of the kingdom intact, Munch Rat a brawn fighter, Alan Quail a warbler that usually sings songs, and Thorn the Lop the polite fighter.

The Downunda Freedom Fighters are a group of Freedom Fighters that function in the Downunda, a continent modeled after real-world Australia. It is led by Walt Wallabee, a male kangaroo with a pouch. Other members include Barby Koala, Second-in-command, Wombat Stu, an agile wombat with super hearing, Guru Emu, an emu who acts like a hippie, and Duck "Bill" Platypus, the teams fiestiest member, who turns on the team at various points in the comics.

The Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters are a band of aquatic Freedom Fighters, the Forty Fathom group were discovered by Tails during his first solo mission. Members include Ray, a manta ray, Big Fluke, a blue whale, Bottlenose, a bottlenose dolphin, Bivalve, a clam and P.B. Jellyfish, his name being a pun on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

The Original Freedom Fighters were the ones that formed initially right after Dr. Robotnik first overthrowing the King and becoming a dictator. It was founded and led by tiger Colonel Tig Stripe. Other members included Spot Long, who helped evacuate the city of Robotropolis, Sir Peckers, Private Trey Scales, a snake who would later doublecross the group, and MP Bull Bones, a bulldog who was a role model to Sally Acorn and Sonic the Hedgehog. The group's campaign against Robotnik came to an end when they were all turned into mindless robots and banished to the Zone of Silence.

The Substitute Freedom Fighters, are a group that fills in for the Knothole Freedom Fighters when they are unavailable to fight. The group is led by Larry Lynx, who is good intentioned but ultimately has bad luck. Other members include Penelope Platypus, who was originally a sub from the Downunda group, Cyril, a bald eagle and the eldest member of the Substitute Freedom Fighters, Dylan a porcupine who's claim to fame was being the only one who could defeat an anmesiac Sonic, Hamlin a pig who holds resentment towards Sonic and Sally's popularity while he's relegated as a "substitute", and Arlo, a shy Armidillo.

Dylan, Penelope, and Hamlin were all later chosen by the citizens of New Mobotropolis to sit on the Council of Acorn with Sir Charles Hedgehog, Elias Acorn, Rotor Walrus, and Rosemary Prower. Larry then joined a secret team of freedom fighters.

The Wolf Pack similar in culture to Native Americans, still function like Freedom Fighters. They once inhabited a city in the mountains that lived in harmony with nature, but that came to an end when Dr. Robotnik's machines destroyed their home. Their original community is split in two, part becoming the Wolf Pack to fight invaders, the other fleeing to find shelter for their pups. Lupe is the leader of the group. She is a kind and sage-minded individual, but her peaceful exterior hides a real warrior. Her. Other member include Reynard, who is especially inquisitive, Canus, who is second in charge, and is quite large despite his large stature, Diablo, the group grouch, always picking fights, Leeta and Lyco, a pair of twin pink wolves into acrobatics.

The most controversial members of the Pack, Aerial and Athena are not wolves at all, but a pair of Overlander girls. The two are sisters; Aerial is a blond hair girl who is extremely calm and quiet, as opposed to Athena who has red hair and is mute. They are the lone survivors of a city, and it caused quite an uproar when Lupe brought them into the pack and they became Lupe's adopted children.

Additionally, there is Drago, who was once a member of the Wolf Pack, but he betrayed them by teaming up with Dr. Robotnik and became a Special-agent. He was instrumental in arranging Sally Acorn's assassination and the framing of Sonic for her (apparent) murder. As such, he was exiled from the Wolf Pack, eventually teaming up with the Destructix under Mammoth Mogul and Ixis Naugus.

The Anti-Freedom Fighters (also referred to as the "Suppression Squad") are an evil version of the Knothole Freedom Fighters from another dimension. They look largely like their counterparts, with mimor differences in coloring, or "darker" accessories like black leather jackets or sunglasses. They tend to visit the comic main dimension to pose as their protagonist counterparts and cause trouble.

Characters include Anti-Sonic, (Scourge the Hedgehog), Anti-Tails (Miles Prower), Anti-Sally (Princess Alicia Acorn), Anti-Antoine (Patch D'Coolette), Anti-Rotor (Boomer Walrus), Anti-Bunnie( Buns Rabbot), Anti-Amy (Rosy the Rascal) Evil St. John(Jeffrey St. Croix), Evil King Max(King Maxx), and Fiona Fox.

The Secret Freedom Fighters are a team assembled by Harvey Who, former director of intelligence for the Kingdom of Acorn, at the request of Elias Acorn, the deposed king. Consisting of former members of other Freedom Fighter groups-Larry Lynx, Leeta, and Lyco-a rebuilt version of Metal Sonic named Shard, and Silver the Hedgehog under the leadership of Elias himself, this team works in total secrecy, carrying out black ops missions in their efforts to undermine the rule of the villainous sorcerer Ixis Naugus.

Famous quotes containing the words freedom, fighter and/or groups:

    The free man is a warrior.—How is freedom measured among individuals, among peoples? According to the resistance that must be overcome, according to the trouble it takes to stay on top. The highest type of free man must be sought where the highest resistance is constantly overcome: five steps away from tyranny, close to the threshold of the danger of servitude.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    A pleasant smell of frying sausages
    Attacks the sense, along with an old, mostly invisible
    Photograph of what seems to be girls lounging around
    An old fighter bomber, circa 1942 vintage.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)
