Sonic the Hedgehog is a blue-armed fictional character that was created by Sega in order to serve as their main mascot (replacing Alex Kidd), as well as to compete against Nintendo's Mario. He is also one of the primary characters from which the much-beloved comic book hero Sonichu draws inspiration.

Like many lolcows on the internet, Chris is a big fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Chris claims that Sonic has been his "life long hero" since June 1990 (predating Sonic's debut by a full year), replacing the American Rabbit in terms of overall importance. Chris confirmed his loyalty to Sonic in 2014 when Sega's outrageous decision to change a non-canonical Sonic's arm color to blue forced Chris to vandalize stores and physically injure employees.
