Infinite (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Summary
Infinite is a major villain in the game Sonic Forces, created by Dr. Eggman specifically to surpass all his past humiliations and failures by "a thousand times."

He was originally a powerful and largely renowned and respected mercenary, regarded as the best there is, before invading Eggman's base in attempts to steal from him. However, they were fought and cornered by Eggman's forces. Accidentally touching the Phantom Ruby revealed Infinite's true dream: a desolate Earth devoid of life. Eggman seen lots of potential in him, and offered Infinite and his squad a place in the Eggman Empire. Infinite accepted this proposal. He and his squad were told to guard the base against Shadow the Hedgehog, but his squad is killed by Shadow, and he is forced to battle the hedgehog alone. After hearing the doctor call him and his squad useless, he is angered, and takes on Shadow. Unfortunately for him, he is easily defeated in three hits. Shadow regards him as a disgrace and calls him weak, and tells him to never show his face ever again. Infinite is then shown shaking, terrified by the experience.

Infinite, pride-broken, humiliated, horrified and traumatized, is overcome by those words; "You're weak." He screams out in anger at his genuine fear, and at his helplessness. This is when Infinite realized how weak and worthless he truly was. From there, he took part as a test specimen in the experiments with the Phantom Ruby, eventually being merged with the final product, it becoming part of the very culmination of his being. Infinite was reborn, and took up a mask to hide and throw away his old self.

Powers and Stats
Tier: 2-C, possibly 2-B | At least High 6-A, likely 5-B

Name: Infinite (His true name is unknown)

Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog

Gender: Male

Age: Should be older than Sonic

Classification: Anthropomorphic jackal, Ultimate Mercenary (Used to call himself)

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Perception Manipulation (Able to create illusions of entire worlds so complex it mimics many aspects of reality to a perfect extent. It's so powerful to the point that the illusions become real, and when in this illusion reality, if you're hurt, then you are harmed both physically and mentally in reality. This can be pushed to inducing Mental Breakdowns), Flight, Energy Manipulation, Dual Warping (He has it on a limited scale, but Infinite is fully capable of manipulating virtual reality and reality itself at the same time, making something entirely real yet fake; making entire worlds,loopholes in time, and so on. Infinite can thus create, erase and redesign just about anything as he sees fit, turning something fake into something real, and vice versa. He can create virtual reality clones of himself, Shadow the Hedgehog, Chaos 0, Zavok and Metal Sonic that all contain the same build and same powers as their real counterpart, making it virtually impossible to tell apart, and so on), Star Creation, Light Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Void Manipulation (Using Null Space, he can effectively erase things from existence, sending them to a space devoid of anything at all), Gravity Manipulation, Telekinesis, Attack Reflection, Rectangular Constructs and Enhanced Swordsmanship (Prior to Sonic Forces' events, Infinite possessed a red sword, which he was a master at wielding)

Attack Potency: Multi-Universe level (Infinite is powered by the Phantom Ruby, which is stated by Tails to be affecting multiple dimensions, or universes. As stated, he is powered by the Phantom Ruby, which is also capable of warping and disrupting space-time and the fabric of the universe. Finally, Infinite is stated by Eggman to be the result of Eggman loathing every single defeat and humiliation at the hands of Sonic, practically MAKING Infinite to surpass ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he's EVER made by "a thousandfold," which would be a thousand times. Time Eater could erase all of time and space, and Solaris was even stronger than that. Not to mention that such a statement would put him above the Egg Wizard, who had the Power of the Stars, capable of stabilizing "parallel dimensions," like Sonic and Blaze's worlds), possibly Multiverse level (If Eggman is to be taken seriously about Infinite being a thousand times stronger than all his previous inventions, then Infinite fits right into this tier) | At least Multi-Continenet level, likely Planet level (Even with the Phantom Ruby depleted from power, it still took the combined efforts from both Sonic and The Avatar to take him down)

Speed: Infinite (Should be superior to Time Eater, who exists outside of time and space, and should be able to move in Null Space, which is devoid of anything, since he creates it) | At least FTL (Superior to Sonic)

Lifting Strength: Unknown | At least Class 10 (Should be superior to Shadow)

Striking Strength: Multi-Universal, possibly Multiversal | At least Multi-Continent Class, likely Planet Class

Durability: Multi-Universe level, possibly Multiverse level | At least Multi-Continenet level, likely Planet level (Both Sonic and the Avatar were required in order to defeat him)

Stamina: Extremely high

Range: Melee normally, several dozens of meters w/ energy blasts and Null Space

Standard Equipment: Phantom Ruby, A sword (Formerly)

Intelligence: High (Is superior to Sonic when it comes to Fighting Skill and Quick Thinking, easily defeating Sonic when fighting him for the first time)

Weaknesses: He can be quite reckless and stubborn in the mist of battle. Thinks very highly of himself and thinks he is better than everyone around him. If he uses too much energy from the Phantom Ruby, he will have to recharge it.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Energy Spear: Infinite shoots a lance of powerful energy which then explodes upon contact with whatever it hits.
 * Null Space Rift: Infinite shoots out a small, black energy sphere, which expands and begins inhaling like a black hole, erasing whatever it consumes from existence.
 * Hypercube: Infinite summons red cubes, using them to home in on an enemy or rising them as walls or even using them as road blocks and such. If they touch the enemy, they will be transported into a virtual reality.
 * Red Hellzone: If Infinite's foe is hit by his Hypercube, they are injured and transported here, to a virtual recreation of reality where Infinite can make anything happen, and where things are even more dangerous. Infinite can activate different versions of this "virtual reality," and doesn't need to hit an enemy to activate it, either.
