Maybe Silver IS Hyper Sonic. Ever think of that? All the more reason not to have him in the comic.

I saw the similarities between Hulk and Super Sonic as well, mainly in Project Brutus when they shoot him with the foam cannon etc.
Hyper Sonic sucks, outside of the context of a videogame. In the game he's awesome because it's one step greater then Super in terms of your achievements in the game, and makes you feel awesome for getting it. We became Super Sonic in Sonic 2, and in the sequels we wanted something a little grander, one step further then before. Hyper Sonic was a great way of satisfying the player and making them feel like they had gone all the way.
But as a character? As an actual, individual separate character in the Sonic-verse? Sucks. You don't want to see it, trust me. As a concept it's so bad that I doubt even Ed could make it interesting, and that's saying something.

I had a cool idea for Silver... or at least I think it's somewhat cool. Basically he's not a character from the future or an alternate universe or whatever, but is (like the clone who claimed he was back in the original comics) actually Sonic from the future, changed and given almost God-like powers by some cataclysmic circumstance that has also wiped out everything else, so he uses the powers to go back in time and warn his past self not to make the same mistakes and to confront the problem before it gets to the point that it threatens them in the same way it did in his future.
I doubt that'll actually be used since A: More time travel and I'm sure people are tired of that and all its convulutedness B: Silver, people don't seem to like him C: It's a tiny bit similar to a past story, despite it being a real threat this time D: Uh, I dunno, I'm sure other people can come up with other reasons why it wouldn't work...
And even though he won't be in the comic I'm sure, I think Hyper Sonic would need to be more... angry than Super Sonic. Super Sonic always seemed to take destruction with manic glee and enjoy it all, while I think Hyper Sonic would be more "I hate you, so die!" sort of thing... like Superboy Prime *gets mauled* I know people don't like Prime, but I think that's the point: He's a snot-nosed brat who complains about things that don't matter, doesn't take responsibility and blames everyone for making him kill them. You're not really meant to "like" him...
(Also, just thought I'd slot this question in, but whatever happened to the chatroom)

If Silver was omnipotent, why wouldn't he just rewrite history to reverse the cause of every misfortune that has befallen his future? With a thought, he could erase every villain in the universe from the timeline.
It wouldn't be logical, I'm afraid.

What's the deal with Silver again? He comes back to the past to assassinate Sonic or something like that? That could be interesting I suppose.
ETA: Oh, apparently he's just running around after some MacGuffin. Did someone else pitch that he wants to assassinate Sonic? I feel like I've seen this. Then again, that's the format of almost all time travel stories. Hmm.

He'd at least be powerful enough to travel back in time far enough to warn his past self. Perhaps similar to Chaos Control he can travel back utilizing Chaos energy, but exerts it when he travels back so he can't go back any further himself. It at least gives him powers comparable to and probably greater than the Silver in the game, telepathy, telekinetic powers and flight.

He wants to destroy Sonic because Mephiles, in the future, told him the blue hedgehog was the Iblis Trigger, the one who release Iblis and cause the destruction of the world.

It at least gives him powers comparable to and probably greater than the Silver in the game, telepathy, telekinetic powers and flight. Technically, telekinesis is Silver's only power in the games continuity. His flying abilities are derived from psychokinetic levitation, and I can't recall any mention of Silver having telepathy. Of course, I've only played as Silver in Sonic Rivals, so I may not have the full story. He does seem to be able to frazzle the minds of his enemies, so he may have some limited telepathic capability. </pedantic>

Um, on the Hyper Sonic idea...
Kinda a Kirby-esque idea, but...meh. Basically, Hyper Sonic is made up of all the energy Super Sonic expends. After all, energy cannot be created or destroyed, just transformed into another kind of energy. All that excess Chaos energy could...coalesce or something into some kind of Galactus-esque entity(or maybe Guh Lak Tus, for its contempt of all life). Not going around planets, or whatever, but similar power levels, dedicated to destruction, but sealed within the Master Emerald, because thats the only place Chaos Energy could be contained on Mobius. Or maybe a Chaos Tap. The Drakons could use him as a weapon, beyond Super Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Neo Metal Sonic.
Or, even more Kirby...
Basically, theres something out there, in space. Its big, powerful, and every few thousand years, it must take a corporeal form to burn out some excess energy, so it takes the form of a worthy being. Sonic draws its attention, as a warrior who exists in multiple universes and timelines. It takes his hyper form, and basically hangs around, doing nothing. Its easily the most powerful being of all, but it doesn't really care about helping, saying: "you'll all be dead in a hundred years, why drag it out?" It annoys everyone with its observations of their life, like Knuckles failure to protect the Emeralds so many times, the Chaotix failing to save the Special Zone, Tails still tagging along with Sonic after all the years, etc, etc.
Or hes a stoner. Super Sonic is dedicated to destruction, the evil in the emeralds is personified in him. Hyper Sonic could ffed off positive impulses, making him a hippy. "Make tea, not robots, man."
Then, at the end of the arc, it realises why they fight, and becomes incorporeal again, only wiser this time.
Also, a Sonic Heroes adaption. Basically, the Pirate Omni-Viewer returns to the Special Zone after being damaged when a Metallix explodes insdie it after the whole "button" thing. It activates a secret weapon, Neo Metal Sonic. This thing absorbs the Omni-Viewer, and gains its own sentience and goals. This would also give it something similar to Chaos Control, as opposed to "copying" Shadows data. It begins warping around the world, and internalises Buddy, the former God of Destruction, reasoning, once a god, always a god. It takes some of the (dead?) DNA from the husk of Viachama, becoming an obscenely powerful Metallix. After it is defeated, it turns out it wanted to be beaten so it could internalise some of Super Sonics DNA, adding that power to its own. It sets up its own empire to rival Robotniks, and begins planning how best to destroy Sonic, wanting him to suffer for destroying his "family".

Maybe Sonic has multiple personalities; the destructive Super Sonic, the emotionless Hyper Sonic and perhaps even the despotic 'King Sonic' (based on the character from the Lew Stinger story).

Seven Badniks is probably the only Sonic strip I have never reread, simply because I was pissed off that after four issues of buildup, there was NO PAYOFF. They didn't even promise a sequel! (Which is just as well, because we didn't get one!)
I doubt the Seven Badniks would have survived #100, but I have to wonder what became of Cam 'n' Bert...

Hey, maybe Cam 'n' Bert are working for the Drakons now, using their knowledge of Robotniks tech to seriously boost their weaponry!

I suspect that Robotnik used the Drakon technology to advance his own, not the other way around. While Robotnik would probably be able to improve on existing Drakon tech or think of new ways to use it, he didn't actually have anything that would actually help to advance it.
