IDW Sonic: Imposter Syndrome #2 | A Comic Review by Megabeatman 

True dat

@@donisamwentete5079 same

I guess its in the genes, they were made from Sonic and tails' dna, so it makes sense they'd start to care about each other

@@seich-of-lacan-getter514 I agree especially with the assumption that both of them are cloned instead of just being Android robots

What would also make this theory untrue is the fact that Starline used Tails’ DNA. I don’t think he would get DNA from Tails if he already had Surge and Kit to begin with.

Yeah the two are certainly clones, you can even see two tubes in earlier comics. You don't grow robots in a vat... or use hypnosis on them.

I think they have artificial Fur and Flesh which would Explain the need for Tails DNA but are robotic on the insider explaining the need for Belles deta

Also a cute little detail Surge actually has 2 tails which does imply she inherited it from Tails DNA Starline used in there creation.

Starline started out as Eggman, but he's slowly developing into becoming more like Zavok.

i think it's cool of him he's constantly failing because of his pride he wants to be the improved eggman but he's not and I feel that this is on purpose and has purpose because every time he proves himself worse than eggman i feel like he's falling into a line of madness to fucked up depression little by little his admiration changes from something fanboy to something obsessive like what eggman has with sonic he's obsessed with killing him and proves he's better than him Could it be that we are entering a parallel with our Starline?

@@linaangel93 Starline's true flaw is that he doesn't want to focus on himself. Everything is still about serving Eggman just to be with him. .

So quick explanation here. As far as we know are Surge and Kit entirely artificial. But nether of them knows this. As Starline wants to control the Hero Vs Villain dynamic did he want them to think there are real people to be believable for his plan. Both think there are Normal person by which Kit feels the need to protect and obey Surge and Surge the needs to prove her self better than Sonic and crush him. And both were cybernetically enhanced by Starline as there benefactor to be able to accomplish these goals. The problem is Starline forgot to give them an origin story why there are the way they are, why there have the goals they have and how much stronger did he really make them compared to a normal person. Because of it every time ether of them actually starts to think about anything in there lives do there realize that something is a miss. Up until now did Starline use his hypno gloves on them (as he build in a weakness to them into the duo) to reset there memories every time there start to ask questions. By the end of the issue did Surge realize that something was serious a miss keep it a secret from Starline and is now planning to find out the truth with Kit. Or in other words another one for the "Starline is a giant, hypocritical moron that only lives because the story says so" pile.

@@rynobehnke8289 "The problem is Starline forgot to give them an origin story why there are the way they are" well that's fuccin' stoopid, sonic doesn't have an origin story and he turned out fine/s. btw, you think surge and amy will get along? i mean they're both fast, stubborn, and like abusing children/s. joking aside thanks for the explanation man. btw, happy new year!...........like...2 and a half weeks too late....oh well. but the real reason i'm saying this is because, would you believe it's been five years since you and i started interacting? yea, roger's video on sonic lego dimensions on december second, 2016, that was our first ever interaction, a simpler time, back when i was constantly suggesting that cringey idea of giving all the characters metal counterparts so we could give the flanderized personalities to them instead of, y'know, just, not using them at all, haha, ha, ha, oh god kill me. and back before you were an sa2 amy -simp- defender who actually realized how terrible she was. and back when the sonic fanbase was still hopeful that a sonic generations style game would fix everything. back when the adventure games were constantly under attack by game grumps. back when i was sure sonic boom fire and ice would fix the reputation of the boom games and sonic. i lowkey miss that era, felt less cynical than now, or at the very least the 06 fans didn't grow up to have wrong opinions and thus erode my faith in humanity. i actually remember you kinda getting on my nerves years ago because you wouldn't agree with my interpretation of amy (of course our first discussion would be about amy, what else), and i had a habit (still kinda do), of pretty much ignoring people that annoy me as much as possible, and somehow you ended up arguably being the one guy i interact with on youtube the most, i think that started in roger's "E3 talk" video from june 17, 2017, just looking at that traced thumbnail is nostalgic, wherein you replied to a comment of mine and that ended up being 148 replies on my comment, naturally the discussion (which is weirdly unfinished now that i looked at it), was about character speeds and how they don't need chaos energy augmentations, at some point we ended up talking about my sa2 fanfic which i'm pretty sure isn't the same thing anymore, and hey, my username used to be "movla" instead of the more phonetically accurate mowla. overall ryno, thanks for putting up with my bullschit these past few years, helping me filter and improve my fanfics, being patient whenever i flip out or constantly ask you to respond to comments, and for dealing with youtube's constant auto-deleting of our comments. here's to more years of us wasting our lives talking about this inconsistent, annoying blue fucc-head rat.

@@alimowla3204 AH but you see when Gerald Robotnik created Sonic did he so by giving him a mind that was pure and perfect. Starline is nowhere near Gerald's level of bio engineering./s Given that one wants to marry Sonic and the other wants to destroy him I'm not sure if there will get along all that well. That is unless you think there goals are actually the same/s I'm always glad to help Oh right I almost forgot new year happen. So you also a happy new year. Ether that or we don't count it a new year until Sega decides its no longer Sonic's 30th anniversary/s Wow we already are 5 years at it?! Didn't feel nearly as long. Got what kinds of weird topics we all had from the world, characters, the company, gameplay Vs story all the way to fanfics and sharing fanart until RU-vid decided to auto delete all of your comments with Links in them. Maybe its my growing understanding of the English language (as I was still not all that great with it when we started out) but it really feels like the fan base has become more negative towards new release recently. Not that I blame them after Mario pandering Lost world, rushed mandated to be on the only console it wasn't designed for Boom and boringly missed potential forces. So do you believe we will get Forces kids that will defend that game as hard as modern 06 stans? I mean I still don't hate 06 as much as you but some of the praise people have for it goes a bit far. "i actually remember you kinda getting on my nerves years ago because you wouldn't agree with my interpretation of Amy (of course our first discussion would be about amy, what else), and i had a habit (still kinda do), of pretty much ignoring people that annoy me as much as possible, and somehow you ended up arguably being the one guy i interact with on youtube the most" Yes I can be quite annoying sometimes. But funny how things turned out in the end because I properly also wrote more in comments with you than really with anyone else. Can't wait for in 5 years when Ali Mowla Adventure 2 is released to celebrate this anniversary./s Nothing to thank for I wouldn't have done so if I wouldn't have had to much fan talking with you about these things. And hey its not like I'm also asking you about having gotten my comments if I don't hear from you because we both have learned that RU-vid can't be trusted and boy do I let you wait sometimes all the more reason to ask really. So than lets continue for as long as we can't get out of this abusive relationship known as being a Sonic fan (at least we do also have Dragonball and Star Wars to talk) Have a great day. And I will inform you when I wrote my comment about this issue assuming you as always before are interested in it.

So as promised I now tell you I have post my comment under this video have a great day.

@@rynobehnke8289 oh god, did the encyclo-speed-ia reference this/s. nah, you see ryno, as evidenced by roger's "free riders in minutes." video, sonic falls for people who try to destroy him, therefore surge is in love with sonic and wants to marry him, which is also why amy constantly attacks sonic, so clearly, the only difference between amy and surge is that surge would suggest a threesome and amy would be against that since she ain't a degenerate/s. "So you also a happy new year." thanks man. "Maybe its my growing understanding of the English language (as I was still not all that great with it when we started out)" on this subject, i can't tell if it's because of your aforementioned improved english or because you consider me less of a stranger than when we first started interacting, but you seem a lot more jokey recently compared to before, this isn't a critique or something, just an observation. "but it really feels like the fan base has become more negative towards new release recently. Not that I blame them after Mario pandering Lost world, rushed mandated to be on the only console it wasn't designed for Boom and boringly missed potential forces." it's not just you, i also feel things have been dower lately, at the very least in terms of the games, in terms of comics and the movie, it's fortunately more optimistic i feel. but man, it really succs how lost world, boom, and forces sapped all the goodwill the people had for sonic after sonic generations made them so hopeful. "So do you believe we will get Forces kids that will defend that game as hard as modern 06 stans?" oh absolutely, you'll even have people saying how underrated colors and lost world's writing was. "I mean I still don't hate 06 as much as you but some of the praise people have for it goes a bit far." this may sound hard to believe, but i didn't use to hate 06 as much as i do now, back then, i was just like "oh it was a really glitchy game and sonic's story was terrible, but it had potential." it's only because of the 06 stans that i started to dislike the game so much, the constant defending and deflecting of valid criticism, in a deluded attempt to paint 06 as this misunderstood masterpiece, that's what made me hate 06 so much more, and even then, outside of sonic's (and silver's) story, the glitches which hold the gameplay back, and the general rushed development, i actually don't have a lot of negative things to say about 06, not about the gameplay, the level design, and any real problems i have (like the extra characters being garbage or the load times), is all stuff that was affected by the rushed development more than anything else. i should stress that you only annoyed in our very first discussion (lego dissected) our second discussion (E3 talk) is where you stopped annoying me since that was our first in depth discussion, and to this day i don't have any issues with you man. "Ali Mowla" it's funny you capitalize the first letter of my name, i actually contemplated changing my username to capitalize the first letter, but then i decided "nope, you had your chance when you changed V to W, no stoopid do-overs, your PFP is capitalized anyway". "(at least we do also have Dragonball and Star Wars to talk)" that vaguely sounds like adultery, but since it's sonic i'll allow it. same to you man, and i'll look forward to your next comment. addendum: "So as promised I now tell you I have post my comment under this video have a great day." neato.

2- you think starline played against him in multiplayer matches? also i love how our gamer eggman joke from the badguys mini-series got canonized. "but I do hope that after learning the truth won't both just suddenly become heroes" you mean you _don't_ want surge to turn into a tsundere who constantly goes "i didn't come here to save you, i'm here to make sure you don't die so i can kill you myself b-baka!" or "i'm not here for any heroics, i'm here for my own reasons, grrr."? but why?/s. "(even if it still could be a bit less ball but at least kit is all unique so far)" now that i think about it, doesn't kit kinda look like doctor octopus? just some guy with super strong appendages coming out of his back that he uses to toss things and such (except kit can get more creative with it of course). i mean, eggman could always have more than one gaming set and mancave, what? you think this man is gonna fly all the to egg base alpha just so he can visit his _one_ mancave and PC? that sounds preposterous. eggman was taking a shower when the alarm went off. honestly, i won't mind starline going away for a few issues, although i don't think he'll be gone for 25 issues unfortunately.

@@alimowla3204 I don't think so he clearly would be more well aware of Eggman's shortcomings ahead of time if he had played against him before his introduction and after it was he always awfully busy continuously setting up his own doom. The most free time he had so far did he spend to whine on Eggman's live stream. While I 100% its not true do I like to think that pro-gamer Eggman was a direct responds to me complaining about his Mesozoic age ports on Super Omega. Also Surge reaction to Starline explaining the gaming tower is gold. Exactly because we already got Shadow to be the Vegeta Clone/s But seriously I really do hope there don't just suddenly become heroes. Our Hero cast is already more than big enough and so far are the other new villains not really convincing me (I thing I was clear about how I think about Mimic both on how smart he is and how dangeriour he is during the Badguys arc and during Whispers decision to leave, The Skunk Brothers are literally a joke and I thing I have complained enough about Starline by now to make it clear that I don't like him as a villain at least in how he is used) While I wouldn't say this is something unique to Doc Oct so its certainly very similar. Only that he can also drown someone in his tendrils as his concept art showed. I mean sure Eggman has more than one gaming setup BUT 1) There are only so many location with a perfect internet connection 2) His man cave here is special enough for him to fly there, leaving the safety of his face ship while a Zombi Robot Apocalypse is happening he started. 3)As Alpha is is still the first base in his base browser as there are properly ordered as we saw back in bad guys. SO and what did Orbot and Cubot do meanwhile he doesn't have his underlings just for show you know (especially here in the comics were he already before gave them the task to control his Dimension Tower base.) With how much the writers push him for the whole course of the series is he ether going to end up actually gone for a while after he got to play big bad for the issue 50 story line or we aren't ever getting rid of him for more than 4 issues in a row.

@@rynobehnke8289 i mean, would eggman's short-comings fully translate into his play-style? to the point that starline could discern eggman's flaws from that? "While I 100% its not true do I like to think that pro-gamer Eggman was a direct responds to me complaining about his Mesozoic age ports on Super Omega." this also retroactively addresses one of your issues, as it turns out, the _real_ reason eggman was old parts for the omega mech is because he already used the good parts of his PC. it is. y'know, now that i think about it, the old critics were right, sonic _does_ have too many friends..........in comparison to how many rogues. "While I wouldn't say this is something unique to Doc Oct" oh most certainly, it's just, with the backpack/harness, that's the first thing my brain defaulted to. "Only that he can also drown someone in his tendrils as his concept art showed." i mean, doc ock uses his tentacles to choke people, and really, when you get down to it, asphyxiation is just drowning in thin air/s. "SO and what did Orbot and Cubot do meanwhile" they were playing eggman adventure on the eggcast. hmmm, yea, 4 or six issues is the max in which he'll stay out of the story me thinks.

​@@alimowla3204 I mean just look how much of his personality was on display when he streamed his VR game "Elemental Egg Vipers Vs Sonic and his Fanclub" and say me again one wouldn't notice his personality while gaming. I really should have known Eggman better of cause does he build his new robot out of old printers all the good stuff was already used for his gaming setup/s While I love the large cast do I have to agree with you here we really don't enough enough villains for all of these Characters (I will never understand why Sega is so afraid to have more recurring or in general to Eggman unrelated villains. Like Kirby gets away with that for decades proving that it works without any issues) I don't really have anything to say about Kit anymore other that I want a water fight off between him and Chaos. Okay that excuse is to good as that I could counter it you win. Oh certainly if you say with me for a while let me quickly show how omni present Starline is since his introduction. There are 2 issues between his introduction kidnapping Mister Tinker to his next appearance. throughout the Metal Virus arc would he alone side Eggman appear in every issue until issue 19 (meaning even counting the at the same time released Tangle and Whisper Mini series was he no 2 issues in a row missing), Than did he not appear for 3 issues only to be back for Sonic Vs Eggman in Baracade town, he missed the fallowing issue but was than right back when reintroducing Eggman to the Zeti. Than was he missing for the 4 issues of the final fight but was right after that back in the arcs epilogue. Than after 1 more issue without him did he get to star in all 4 issues of Bad guys while at the same time appearing first in Shadows and than after 2 issues revealed in the at the same time running main line story arc, than was he missing for the next 3 issues including the Egg Tower and the first part of "Zeti Hunt" only to be right back in its second part to kidnap Belle over 2 issues. After that didn't he appear in the most recent main comic arc but he did ones again get a staring role in the at the same time and still own going "Imposter Syndrom" mini series. So yes since introduction was Starline not missing for more than a maximum of 4 issues at a time. There try to push him so hard and it just doesn't work for me because he is "Eggman Lite" with all of the flaws (even if his obsession is with someone else than Sonic) but non of the competence and twice the plot armor.

@@rynobehnke8289 i mean, sure, but that was a game he was playing for the first time, i'm sure he's better when speedrunning his favorite RPGs. see? sonic frontiers is in good hands/s. because a big rogues gallery is too interesting and takes more effort than just making up a new god monster that super sonic can take out in 0.2 seconds. "I want a water fight off between him and Chaos." it's fine dude, you can just say want to see kit utterly lose. palpatine: "goood" huh, he really has been super prevalent in these comics. remember ages ago how we praised starline for admiring eggman without trying to be better than him? because that would feel too much like the writer hyping up the OC in favor of the canon characters. yea, good times.

He said “yes ma’am”
