I DID NOT made the animation just put it on youtube cuz i think people didn't put it here already All Credits and stuff to her Original post from twitter: / 1464656577231822849
I have no clue what's going on but this animation is fantastic. The characters face is menacing and intimidating but the oddly wholesome intrigue with the zapping of the rings makes it only come off as harmlessly mischievous in the most delightful way. I absolutely love it.
Surge is a character in IDWs Sonic comics. She's currently got her own miniseries called Impostor Syndrome. I recommend reading it, you can find it free on youtube
Surge is a cyborg tenrec created by Dr. Starline (the guy in the bed) as a counter to Sonic, along with Kitsunami the Fennec (the little guy watching) being a counter to Tails. Surge has Sonic's speed and attitude, but without the niceness and without holding anything back. In addition, she has electric powers to trigger Tails' fear of lightning. Kitsunami (Kit for short) is her sidekick, just as Tails is to Sonic, and he has control over water in the form of multiple tails made of it, perfect for Sonic's fear of water. Starline made Surge and Kit the way they are in order to defeat Sonic and prove himself superior to Eggman. Starline also made both Surge and Kit very susceptible to his hypnosis, which he used to brainwash Surge into hating Sonic and Kit into being blindly loyal to Surge. However, due to Surge having Sonic's attitude, she's very rebellious and often goes out of her way to annoy, hinder or outright disobey Starline, forcing him to hypnotize her into obedience for a while. In this video, we see Surge using her lightning powers to keep Starline from sleeping while Kit looks on in awe.
*Surge:* Hey Kit, look what I can do with electricity. *Kitsunami:* Wow Ma'am, she is the best. *Starline:* It has been going on for 3 hours. I just wish I could sleep.
@@scpblackoutd136 he kidnapped them and hypnotized them into doing his work so he could take over the world kill sonic and his friends and get eggman to join him
Mere minutes earlier: Starline: "I'm going to bed. I don't want to be disturbed. Understood?" Surge: "Sure thing, Doc. Go get your beauty sleep! (Starlines footsteps fade as he walks away) Hey Drippy, watch _this!"_
Yah that's kind of true because they were actually both of the same character so it's either one thing or another because they have a lot of similarities between their looks but me personally I'm a classic I always go for scourge
Yeah.... I basically have an AU where surge kills dr starline He deserves it ngl After she kills him, she starts remembering bit by bit of who she was and who she is.
They're actually referred to as Lesser Hedgehogs just like how fenec foxes are technically lesser variants of foxes due to their size making the duo being Sonic and Tails opposites even more neat.

Never heard of Surge the Tenrec before this video. I absolutely love her design and your animation is amazing! Hard to look away, I keep coming back to this video.
I honestly wish there were more animations like this. Music mixed with really good character art. Or a what happens in between the comics. Cause this is just fun to look at
IDW does follow up from the game lore due to it being more recent (meanwhile archie and fleetway had to adapt the games that were out at the time along with some original plotlines as well)
It’s mainly because on actual genesis hardware, it’s really loud and shrieky. They kind of fixed it in some ports, but many people only know of that particular instance.
@@z0m4109 I agree with you she feels like she can be her own character unlike scourge who was just a evil version of Sonic that's why I like surge more no hate on scourge he is pretty cool
i just love how surge is depicted as this chaotic gremlin by people while kit is the most adorable boy to ever live. i whole heartedly wanna see these two again someday.
I just want you to know this video is how I ended up finding out about the IDW comics and is the only reason I can come back to this vid having actually read them. Thank you for introducing me to the sonic comics and thank you for being one of the funniest videos ever.
man, I stop paying attention to IDW Sonic comics for what feels like a minute, and all of a sudden there is a new character I have no idea who she is. all I know is that Tenrecs are like more streamlined hedgehogs or something, so this should be interesting I guess?
Sure we already had... lemme see (Metal Sonic, Neo Metal Sonic, Shadow) 3 dark reflections of Sonic, but we had to have one that was a gremlin girl. I don't even read the IDW comics, but Surge's design slaps.
Honestly, I hope there's a redemption arc in the comics for Surge and Kit where they find out who they really were before Dr Starline showed up, then Surge uses the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Surge or whatever, and destroy the Warp Topaz, thereby releasing the two from Dr Starline's control, then the Chaos Emeralds restore the tenrec and fennec's original forms, and they join the Resistance, and then maybe, just bringing this possibly unpopular idea out there, but maybe Infinite and Buddy (or even a group of characters based on the avatar) will return and we'll get some sort of final battle between Infinite, Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Tangle, Surge and the rest of the Resistance, and Eggman will be there, maybe? Just throwing in my two cents for the guys at IDW Publishing in case they want to make a good finale for that arc in the series whenever that time comes.
*Stop!* 😭 I've already watched this video 37 times over and it still keeps getting reccomended to me, and I STILL keep being compelled to re-watch it! 😭
Im glad, that ive been seing this video for 10 times now, cuz i think of me this is getting more popular. First time ive been here this had 235 likes, and the Creator had 198 subs. Today he hit 1k, and its cool too see him growing
I'm just confused of how youtube works, i just reposted an animation i thought looked cool, and it somehow begin to get recommended to people after 2 months lol
The harsh noises of the Option Menu theme just go perfectly with Surge's brash personality, this might as well be her character theme now.
I strongly agree 100%
Nah clasdic shaadow or metal theme
Imagine a Generations style rock remix. Holy shit
Now that we know what the original options menu was supposed to sound like, I feel like the true version would mesh with her later on in the comics
What game is the song from?
The conspiratorial hand rubbing is honestly what makes this animation for me
The gremlin energy is real
its the shoe tapping for me
Menace moment
Villainous gait
This reminds me of the sinking of the u.s.s liberty
Id say its the wide eyes finger tapping
Wow, that is an excellent use of Sonic Spinball's options music. It really feels like the perfect choice.
Oh. It is Spinball. I haven't thought of that game in ages. Wasn't even sure I've heard this song before till you pointed it out.

Question: how is this particular OST called?
@@t0nyxaka90 I dunno it's official name. It's just the options music from Sonic Spinball.

What makes this even more hilarious is the fact that I can actually see Surge doing this canonically.
She can put CDs to her ear and they’ll play in surround sound, static shock proved all the insane stuff one can do with elecrtokenisis
Knowing what Starline did to make Surge into what she is, he deserves far worse.

theres also the chance of surge and kit appearing in the mobile games, ever sense taangle and whisper were added the chances have been high

Okay but I will never understand why a lot of people don't care for the song, I think it slaps fucking hard. And so does this animation

Maybe you should consider going to a doctor

i love how a glitch turns into a real and good sonic character
How long 'til cyborg sonic gets a character? (I'm not counting sonic.exe because he's unofficial)
Starline clearly isn't a fan of the Genesis soundfont
Surge just feels like a female Scourge
They are both green villains, and have similar names.
Well, she is actually a female scrouge, she is his replacement in the new comics canon
@@z0m4109 I agree with you she feels like she can be her own character unlike scourge who was just a evil version of Sonic that's why I like surge more no hate on scourge he is pretty cool
Both characters were based on a green glitch Sonic from Sonic 2, so it's understandable
Boy, if he thinks he regrets creating Surge and Kit now...
The facial expressions, all of them, they're all priceless, I love this so much.
I don’t know what it is, whether it’s the art style, music or animation but this makes her seem sinisterly cute
This legit makes this song bearable
i just love how surge is depicted as this chaotic gremlin by people while kit is the most adorable boy to ever live. i whole heartedly wanna see these two again someday.

Why does the Sonic Pinball theme just match Surge so much as if it was her own Theme Song?
Wonderful job.

This character radiates enough goblin with a gun energy to run my farms
0:17 is the face you make when your alarm goes off after you're able to finally able to go to sleep
This is something Surge would totally do, all the time when Starline is trying to sleep.
That music and the way she use shock much more amazing and showing her personalities.
Have you ever found a video that just describes a person you interact with such perfect accuracy before? Because I just did.

God it's been forever since I've heard this song, still love the music design of Sonic games.
I don't know why this popped up in my feed. But I love it. And exactly what I would do if I had something like that.
I *really* hope sonic team is planing to adapt, or going to adapt, this comic run and characters into the games, at least at some point
Honestly, I can see Surge being a successful electric musician.
