Fearsome Foursome

The Fearsome Foursom was a group of four villains consisting of Lightning Lynx, Sergeant Simian, Flying Frog, and Predator Hawk.

Mogul's Minions
Minor villains at best, the Fearsome Foursome first appeared in the service of Mammoth Mogul. Serving as Mogul's dumb muscle, their role was to occupy the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Chaotix while Mogul deals with Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, and Miles "Tails" Prower. However, they proved inept time and again, eventually winding up in Devil's Gulag prison. ([[

Escaping from prison, the group hooked up with Drago Wolf and other escaped prisoners. They were later roboticized by Dr. Eggman, but were de-roboticized by the Bem. Shortly after this, they were among the massive force that assembled to battle the Xorda. Following Sonic's return from space, however, a group of robots identical to their Robian forms were deployed by an entity known at that time as "Anonymous." In fact, the robots were only copies, and the real Fearsome Foursome teamed up with Drago and Sleuth Doggy Dog to form the Destructix, who set out to steal Mogul's Chaos Emerald. Presumably, this mission was part of their deal with Anonymous, who was in reality A.D.A.M., whose primary goal was to obtain all the Chaos Emeralds in the universe.

The Fearsome Foursome were defeated by their old enemies and imprisoned again, only to be freed by their old boss Mammoth Mogul. After a major battle, the Fearsome Foursome and their teammates were joined by the Arachne. All of them were briefly imprisoned in the Egg Grape Chamber, but were freed by Dr. Finitevus. Following a period of inactivity in his service, they attacked a group of Dingoes who threatened Echidna people on Angel Island. Through this deception, they and their two comrades in the Destructix became Finitevus' deputies after he took on the role of Guardian. Following Enerjak's rebirth, all the members of the group were dispatched to guard a weapon made to destroy Enerjak by the Brotherhood of Guardians.

Each member of the Fearsome Foursome has a different combat ability, which often leads to them fighting one-on-one with individual members of the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix. Sergeant Simian has super strength, in addition to a vast arsenal of weaponry. Predator Hawk has the power to fly, while Flying Frog actually glides. Lightning Lynx rounds things out with super speed, and also possesses super hearing and reflexes.

As a result of their abilities, each member of the Fearsome Foursome had a rivalry with a core member of the Chaotix. Sergeant Simian was primarily an opponent of Mighty the Armadillo, due to both of them possessing super strength. Flying Frog's flexibility led him to clash with Vector the Crocodile, the smooth mover of the Chaotix. Lightning Lynx faced Espio the Chameleon over speed, while Predator Hawk and Charmy Bee fought in the skies.
