UniverseDeadly SixTeam Dark

Five factions structure the opposition in the Sonic saga: Deadly Six, Team Dark, Egg Bosses, Babylon Rogues and Hard Boiled Heavies. Introduced in Sonic Lost World in 2013, the Zeti led by Zavok, surrounded by Zazz, Zeena, Master Zik, Zomom and Zor, turn Eggman's robots against their creator using electromagnetic energy. Team Dark, born in Sonic Heroes in 2003, revolves around Project Shadow and owns its anti-hero status. The Egg Bosses, for their part, exist only in the Archie comics, where each one administers a region for Eggman. Jet, Wave and Storm complete the picture, from Sonic Riders (2006) onwards.

The world of Sonic the Hedgehog is full of memorable antagonists who have left their mark on players throughout the decades. Among these dark forces, certain groups stand out for their organization, their power, and their narrative impact. Before diving into this analysis, equip yourself with a Sonic T-shirt to show your allegiance!
