Was it because of Scourge's resemblance to Sonic, looking too much like him?

TBH it wasn't anything he did, in fact, his claims were laughable. He only got as far as he did because Archie messed up and couldn't find what happened to his original contract.
Sega only rolled over because they didn't want to pay the legal fees for characters they didn't care about, lol. They still would have won in the end, but it would've been very long and drawn out: It wasn't worth it just to keep Lara-Su.
Although, Sega has reinstated they own Shade, so...

Interrupting anthropomorphic echidna talk with anthropomorphic horse
DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE
This showcase's demon is of the Brute race:
“I’m Brute Mamian. I'm a prison guard in hell, so I can handle the tough stuff.”
Alignment: Neutral-Neutral
Origin: Buddhist mythology. Mǎmiàn is a guardian of Diyu whose name means “horse face”. Like his companion, he has the body of a man, but the head of an animal, in this case, a horse. He is the first thing newly deceased souls encounter in underworld. He directly captures them before escorting them to the courts of hell so that they can be rewarded or punished for their actions in life. He also serves as the messenger of the king of hell, Yanluo Wang.
Skills: Sukukaja, Mazionga, Recarm, Mist Rush
Next time, you will meet a demon of the Wilder race.

SMT always uses this demon’s Japanese name, “Mezuki” but I wanted to go with the original spelling. Just like his counterpart Ox-Head, Mamian has a simple, yet effective design that didn’t change much for the last few decades. The only mystery for me is the writing on his clothes, which doesn’t seem to be a part of his name and probably is something very predictable.

It's probably because Scourge is Sonic, just an evil Sonic, lol.
Yeah, that is what I meant, actually.

Would anyone be interested in reading a comic about Scourge, anyway?
It feels like he was created for the sole purpose of being a non-interesting narrative foil for Sonic.

Howdy!
They made Scourge kinda cool, later on in the comics.
You had to go through a decade's worth of bull****, but that's true for the entire Archie comic

Whatever the case, Penders is just one man, one man who is foolishly up against a literal army that is Viacom, which is probably bigger than Archie Comics is. I don't see a possible way for Penders to win this.

He was Sonic but "I'm eViL bEcAusE EvIl is RaDiCal" and that was about it.
Ian tried to salvage the character, but even under his writing he was one of the weakest villains and had nothing on characters like Finitveus and especially Eggman.

That happened to my buddy RickNooooo it was because his daddy ignored him.
THAT'S why he became a homicidal maniac.

How the **** was Knuckles even born then? What? Was he created out of thin air or something?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Apparently, Ken Penders does not know of how birth really happens, or at least he does not care.

Guess his parents never gave him "The talk" regarding the birds and bees. LMAO.

Actually Ken Penders is a product of asexual reproduction. Ever heard of Mitosis? Meoisis? Look it up.

The only good thing I remember about Scourge is that they tried to make him The Joker and decided to make it clear to the literal children who would be reading that Joker's iconic line is full of ****

Seeing this makes me wonder what my childhood bullies are up to these days.
If I'm being honest I actually think about them a lot.

I wonder what happened to the dude who stole me and my siblings's DSs and all my games out of my moms car.
I hope that dude is arrested and locked up for life, if not given the death penalty.
I wonder what's up with all the kids that decided it would be funny to bully me in elementary school. I have ran into the guy who was my only friend at the time until he decided that I'm not worth his time and neither of us have acknowledged that

xD I know I am very late for this, but I had no idea this had been mentioned...and since I've been a Rayman fan for years...I felt I had to say something.
I mean, yeah, I was rather speechless the first time a friend showed it to me, in fact, at first I thought it was some fanart that tried to make Rayman in the style of The Amazing World of Gumball but then my friend told me "It's official..." and I replied with "Are you sure it's not an April fool's joke?" and they said "Nope, it was posted recently, like hours ago" and after that...I kind of had a bit of a crisis because I couldn't believe it, however after that I decided to just not care, in fact, it made me chuckle for a reason. As much as it is rather sad that while the Rabbids (Don't get me wrong, I have had nothing against the Rabbids for a long time now and enjoy them) had a show were they made them as they actually are in pretty much all aspects (from their appearance to their antics) and ARE the protagonists despite sharing the world with humans, Rayman was given this treatment that for me makes no sense, I mean, he had actual stories in the first 3 games, cannot say the same about the reboots but...I feel like even if they REALLY wanted to aim the show at kids for some reason, why not use the world and style of Rayman 1? That one is the most colorful and cutest looking of all. But I personally would've liked something that was just as wide in range of age as usually the Rayman games are instead of whatever Ubisoft is currently planning for that show.

On the topic of bullying, the most I ever got was called "acting/being white" which god I wish I didn't own up to that **** thinking that was good wtf was I thinking.
I've been bullied as a kid, or early teens, before my family and I moved to another town. My high school days were chill after all that.
Funny you say that. After seeing the movie yesterday, I remember a bunch of kids coming out who apparently liked it.
I mean it is primarily made for kids

One thing that bugs me about Sonic 2 is who the hell were those three warriors in the beginning that Eggman immediately dispatched?
Also Penders needs to chill

No, Sonic is a franchise made for adults

Team Chaoix? Vector, Charmy and Espio?
They apparently make a cameo in the pre-quill comic.

Sorry my bad, you're right, only us adults can appreciate the Robotnik and Agent Stone lovemaking scene

Might contend with Eddie and Venom for best gay couple of the decade.

It's funny. I was actually one of the few white kids at the school I went to for 3rd to 5th grade.
"White kid" was basically my childhood nickname.

Bro I saw that movie last week and it is so ****ing gay? Like, the biggest movie in the last 20 years (not counting Morbius of course) could only get one of the directors having 5 seconds of screentime and a single line of dialogue which could easily be changed to appeal to homophobes yet Venom 2 gave us "I AM OUT OF THE EDDIE CLOSET" as one of it's many stupidly gay moments

No I hadn't but I did spoil myself of some of the stuff.
