Appearance

Knuckles the evil (Or Evil Knuckles, both names being interchanged) Is a slightly stretched out sprite of Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with the whites of his eyes being black and his pupils being the same color as the green sludge leaking out of his eyes and on his gloves as well as his colors being slightly darkened. From his most used render he also has a giant "Trademark" covering most of his torso that is also a goopy green, potentially the same goop coming from out of his eyes. The "Trademark" in that iconic render is also where the name "Trademarked.gen" came from.

The oh so scary and evil tale

One day, Knuckles the normal was running through Chemical plant zone, which in this universe has green sludge replacing the purple liquid. Knuckles the normal was looking for Blail5 to give him figs to make a lovely fig pie for all of Mobius to enjoy after the sudden death of Doctor Robotnik. However, he fell into the Green slime that plagued Chemical plant and was not rescued from it. The radioactivity of the slime killing Knuckles the normal after 30 seconds and taking over his body. You ever see the movie Venom? Its like that. After being taken over, Knuckles the normal turned into Knuckles the evil and began terrorizing Mobius with his green sludge powers.

Eventually, he focused down Blail5 and Michael Speedster the Quick and Nimble Hedgehog (Also referred to as Mr. Thimble) to be his playthings, hunting them down relentlessly.

While there has been no actual story beats or roadmap stated by any of the owners, it is possible that the story will follow the "Three Friends" from the story of 2077x, Blail5, and Mr. Thimble all trying to survive both threats. However this is unconfirmed.

Trivia

• It is stated on their wiki page that 2077x exists in the same "world" as Knuckles the evil. It is unknown if this means that 2077x and/or the "3 friends" will appear in Knuckles and the evil sludge or if its just a throwaway fact.

• Blail5's name seemingly has a lot of reasons for being the way it is. First off, a reference to Blails considering the blue nature of Blail5. Second, a reference to bear5. And finally, a seeming reference to the replacement of the "S" with a "5" as seen in the name of My5tCrimson.
