I've recently been adding Sonic the Conic content to Scratchpad, a site where fictional characters are compared to each other and given "parodies", cast lists for versions of other works, with them as the star. I have added 13 characters to the Scratchpad website. Previously, it only had SEGA, X, AOSTH, Archie, Underground, and Satam characters. These are: Grimer Wormtounge Master Scholar Johnny Lightfoot Porker Lewis Tekno Shortfuse Ebony Metamorphia Marxio Bros (as one entry) Megatox Emperor Ko-Dorr Anyone want to help me out here? The STC section of the site is right here; scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sonic_the_Comic_Characters |

Grimer's name isn't Wormtongue.

Adding to Tom's point, you're thinking of "Gríma Wormtongue", who is a character from the Lord of the Rings novels. Nothing to do with STC.  |

Grimer was (erroneously) called Grimer Wormtongue in one of the Data Zones, though.  |

Grimer was (erroneously) called Grimer Wormtongue in one of the Data Zones, though. I remember that. And being momentarily confused as I'd read Lord of the Rings... |

I'd always pronounced his name "Grim-er" but as it turns out, it's actually pronounced it "Grime-er" (I first learned this from Richard Elson at a convention, just in case there's people wondering if my info is legit). And I always wondered if there was some kind of weird connection between the characters. I think I remember Grimer being described as Wormtounge too... which confused me even more. |

Nigel Kitching said in Speedlines that the name derives from the LOTR character - although at the time he was sure it was a character from the relatively obscure Gormenghast. And this Speedlines debate is presumably what later led to the Data Zone error by a subsequent editor (who'd had to get up to speed on all things STC in a hurry - the same reason why Grimer's profile also erroneously stated that he only cares about saving his own skin).
