Zone

A Zone is an alternate dimension separate from that of Mobius Prime with different properties and characteristics. Various zones can be reached via portal, technology or by using magic or magical items such as Chaos Emeralds. Some famous zones include the Twilight Zone and the Zone of Silence. Zones have been used as both places of banishment and confinement as well as safe havens, such as the various pocket zones Hawking created and sent both the Echidnas and Dingoes to in order to keep them safe from harmful radiation. (StH: #43, KtE: #3, #5, #18)

The term "zone" is also applied to various segments of Angel Island with dramatically different climates. (KMS: #1)

Background Information

 * In response to a fan query regarding whether or not the futures from which NICOLE and Dr. Eggman originated were the same, writer Ian Flynn stated that: That's up for debate, honestly. There's room to take it in both directions. For the sake of simplicity, I'd consider it the same. This way we're only dealing with three futures (Eggman/Nicole's, MxYL, Silver's) rather than four. However, this theory does not work, since the future Mobius Robo-Robotnik was trapped in was said to be conquered by him, yet NICOLE's home universe was seen to be thriving with King Sonic and Queen Sally still alive in StH #119.
 * Writer Ian Flynn says that he is against reusing any characters or concepts that are blatant parodies of movies/TV shows/other media again, meaning that several characters and Zones are unlikely to appear again in the canon comic series.
