Flying Battery

The Launch Base was a region of Angel Island. It was used by Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower to land their plane, the Tornado, when they arrived on the island to search for Knuckles for the upcoming fight against Enerjak. (StH: #181)


 * The Launch Base was based of the Launch Base Zone level in the game Sonic 3. Whereas in the game, the level was likely not a natural part of Angel Island but constructed by Dr. Robotnik for the Death Egg's launch, its origins in the comic universe remain unknown. When asked about its origins in a Q & A, writer Ian Flynn said "Let's call it a leftover of the previous Guardians cleaning up the radioactive mess that ravaged the island during Hawking's tenure. If that's too continuity heavy for you, call it ruins left after Dr. Eggman's invasion.". (1)
