Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ) is an anthropomorphic red echidna from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Knuckles is very strong and somewhat gullible. In his first appearance, he was tricked by Dr. Eggman into thinking that Sonic the Hedgehog was an enemy, but after discovering the truth, he became a friendly rival of Sonic. He is the guardian of the Master Emerald. In Worlds Collide, Dr. Wily and Eggman captured Knuckles and turned him into the Roboticized Master Knuckles Man. His Special Weapon was the Sharp Knuckle. Knuckles Man, alongside Tails Man, Rose Woman, and Shadow Man were sent to Mega Man's world to steal a Chaos Emerald from a bank. They were held off by Proto Man and Mega Man, although a blue blur interfered, buying the Roboticized Masters enough time to escape, and likewise resulting in Mega Man being tricked into fighting Sonic the Hedgehog. He and the others later delivered the Emerald to Wily and Eggman, and then were sent, alongside Blaze Woman and Silver Man, to fight Proto Man while Vector Man Charmy Man and Espio Man fought against Sonic, Mega Man, Rush, and Tails. Knuckles Man, alongside Rose Woman, while watching Proto Man and the restored Chaotix Roboticized Masters (Vector the Crocodile, Charmy Bee, and Espio the Chameleon, respectively), were then ordered to pursue Sonic and Mega Man. The two Roboticized Masters, upon receiving their orders, announced that their self-destruct protocol had been activated. They later encountered Sonic, Tails, and Rush, with their self-destruct protocols remaining active. Mega Man was barely able to deroboticize them in time with the Sonic Blast. Knuckles, upon reasserting his identity, was then teased by Sonic about being tricked by Eggman again. Sonic then sent Knuckles and Tails to help the Chaotix crack the teleporter password. They were unable to crack the passcode before an entire army of time-cloned Robot Masters (exempting the first generation of Robot Masters), led by Rouge Woman, attacked them at the main base, and fought them. Knuckles proceeded to dodge a Black Wave attack from Rouge Woman, and then fought with Concrete Man and Stone Man, breaking the latter's arm with one punch and tauntingly asking if that was all Stone Man could dish out, and then proceeding to smash the former's Concrete Shot effortlessly. According to Stone Man, Knuckles' strength is comparable to that of Guts Man. He later held the Robot Masters off while Mega Man, Sonic, Tails, and Rush attempted to board the Wily Egg. Knuckles eventually ran into trouble with Knight Man.
