Moebius, formerly known as Anti-Mobius, and the Reverse Universe, is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is the Anti-Verse equivalent to planet Mobius. It is the home of the Suppression Squad, including Scourge the Hedgehog.

Typically, people from Moebius have opposite personality traits and enhanced negative traits of their Mobius Prime counterparts. For example, Anti-Knuckles is a pacifist as opposed to the fighter that Knuckles Prime is, while Dr. Robotnik's mirror self is the kindly Dr. Kintobor.

History[]

Development[]

Moebius developed as world to become the opposite of Mobius in many ways. While Mobius was home to Chaos Emeralds, Moebius is a rich source of Anarchy Beryl. Power Rings on Moebius came about in far fewer numbers than on Mobius, and often carried dangerious side effects for their users. As it approached it's current condition, the world became home to many self-serving cowards and a bare handful of heroic protectors.^[1] While Mobius has the flying Moebius' Demon Island ended up hidden beneath the surface of the ocean.^[2]

The Great Peace and Decline[]

Roughly around the same time as the conflict in Mobius Prime's history known as the Great War, Anti-Mobius experienced a time of peace and prosperity known as the "Great Peace". Scourge's father Anti-Jules was a key member in bringing about the Great Peace. Scourge described it as an event that "brought everyone together in one big group hug." After ten years however, things on Anti-Mobius "stagnated" and the Great Peace broke down (this is around the same time as Dr. Ivo Robotnik's coup d'état on Mobius Prime). Thus an era of war and violence erupted.^[3]

Anti-Sonic and Anti-Sally's Takeover[]

Similar to the events that happened in Mobius Prime, King Acorn was banished to the Zone of Silence during a coup. However, in Anti-Mobius, it was Anti-Sonic and Anti-Sally who disposed of the king and took power over Mobotropolis.^[4]

Interactions with Mobius Prime[]

Anti-Mobius' first interaction with Mobius Prime came when Sonic the Hedgehog crossed over into Anti-Mobius via the Cosmic Interstate. There he encountered his Anti-Mobius self who decided to beat him up. With the help of the kindly veterinarian Anti-Robotnik, Sonic managed to subdue his evil counterpart and return to his native reality.^[5]

Some time later, Anti-Sonic brought the Anti-Freedom Fighters to Mobius Prime where they impersonated their prime-zone counterparts and terrorized the local Mobians. Eventually however the Freedom Fighters returned and sent the Anti-versions of themselves back to Anti-Mobius.^[6] Dr. Ivo Robotnik subsequently invanded Anti-Mobius in secret, intending to use it's resources for his own purposes. He ended up tricking Anti-Sonic and Anti-Knuckles into invanding Mobius Prime, but the plan backfired when Freedom Fighters and Knuckles Prime arrived and assisted Anti-Knuckles in defeating him, sending him back to his home dimension.^[2]

Conquered by Scourge[]

Following a considerable amount of time spent on Mobius Prime and his transformation into Scourge the Hedgehog^[7], Sonic's evil counterpart eventually made his way back to Anti-Mobius using a Warp Ring taken from Dr. Finitevus and charged with energy from the Master Emerald.^[8] Having been inspired by a number of confrontations with Sonic, Scourge decided to explore his full potential. After returning to Anti-Mobius with Fiona Fox, Scourge proceeded to conquer all of Anti-Mobius within a matter of days, renaming the planet "Moebius", crown himself "king" and reform the Anti-Freedom Fighters into the Suppression Squad.

Invasion of Mobius Prime[]

Following his takeover of "Moebius", King Scourge then led the Suppression Squad to an invasion of Mobius Prime, determined to claim that world as well. The group soon captured Freedom HQ, forcing the Freedom Fighters to flee, but not long afterwards they were attacked by Metal Sonic, Sonic Prime and Metal Scourge. Realizing that the battle with their "metal" counterparts was a stalemate, Scourge eventually broke down and called in assistance from the Suppression Squad, resulting in the destruction of Metal Sonic and Metal Scourge.

Scourge's Return[]

During his imprisonment in the No Zone jail, Scourge was assisted by the Destructix and broke out of jail with them, finally returning to Moebius.

Trivia[]

• With the exception of Scourge and Patch, most of the members (current and former) of the Suppression Squad derived their new names from some name held by their Prime counterparts: Sally Prime's middle name is Alicia, Tails Prime's real name is Miles but he goes by his nickname, Boomer and Buns were nicknames for Rotor and Bunnie, and Rosy the Rascal was a nickname for the video game version of Amy Rose in Sonic the Fighters. O'Nux's name is derived from Knuckles' nickname of Knux, with the "O" undoubtedly added to make it sound Irish, while Dr. Kintobor retains the original surname shared by his Prime-verse counterpart.
• Other Moebian names have different origins than that of being alternate names for the their Prime counterparts. Scourge chose his name to distinguish himself from Sonic, Patch's name comes from his wearing an eye patch-originally for style, later for pratical purpose and Jeffrey and Maxx's names are homophones of the names of their counterparts.
• The name Moebius may be based off of Möbius syndrome, which also spelled Moebius, an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side. The term Moebius also refers to a fictional loop in time that creates inescapable repeating events.
