Larry Lynx

Larry Lynx was the leader of the Substitute Freedom Fighters prior to the group's disbanding. He was known for causing bad luck to anyone nearby, friend and foe alike.

Meeting the Freedom Fighters
Sonic the Hedgehog and the Knothole Freedom Fighters made his acquaintance during what should have been a routine mission, but turned into a disaster when Larry's bad luck caused them all to be captured except Sonic. Sonic was then able to turn the situation around by using Larry as a "good" luck charm against the SWATbots, destroying them. (StH: #12)

Leader of the Substitute Freedom Fighters
Larry returned when the Freedom Fighters were captured during a mission that involved a video game system from the real world that somehow interfaced with Mobius Prime. While Sonic was off in another universe fighting Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Larry desperately gathered the Substitute Freedom Fighters and launched a daring raid on Robotropolis that allowed them to rescue a captive Princess Sally and the other Knothole Freedom Fighters. After the mission, the Substitute Freedom Fighters were declared an official group and Larry was made their leader. Not all of his missions were so successful, though, as during Sonic's time in space Larry would be hit by friendly fire-though fortunately nonlethal-from weapons designed by Rotor Walrus during a mission against Dr. Eggman. This later led the Walrus to determine that he would never again construct a weapon, a commitment that he took quite seriously. (StH: Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 215, SLV)

Later Activities
Larry was later present at Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot's wedding. He was presumably captured along with the vast majority of the Kingdom of Knothole's citizens during the Destruction of Knothole and subsequent rescue by Sonic and others. (StH: #174, #175, #176)

Personality
Because of the bad luck which befell anyone in his presence, Larry had a very negative outlook when he first met the Freedom Fighters. He practically demanded that they leave him behind despite approaching SWATbots, and didn't complain when Sonic sent him to his apparent doom facing them. However, his initial victory boosted his confidence, enabling him to take command of the Substitute Freedom Fighters.
