Infinite
First Appearance: Sonic Forces

Jesus I am always so split on this dude.

So Infinite is a jacakl with the edgiest mask ever and the rest of his appearance is actually pretty solid with his ruby on his chest too. It's actually teetering the line of being unbearably cringe and sorta cool.

Basically, Infinite used to be a mercenary trying to defend Eggman's base with a bunch of other merc friends and Shadow kicks his shit in and threw a fit over it. Eggman then gave him a Phantom Ruby to give him INFINITE power. Infinite got his revenge on Shadow later and trapped him in... virtual reality. Then he fights Sonic and friends and mostly has the power and ability to easily beat anyone, notably Silver. Oh, and at some point he makes your Avatar piss themselves, which is cool, but the Avatar stands up for themselves.

And he'll take them into NULL SPACE and tries to drop VIRTUAL SUNS on people, and it weakened him so Sonic and Avatar could beat Infinite and he died from a corny ass line from Sonic. Jk he actually just gets shot back into Eggman's reactor and is consumed by it. Pretty sure he's dead idk.

So alright, there's aspects of Infinite that are good, but aspects of him that are complete shit. Like I don't even know how you balance them. He's just a mercenary heavy with incredible power that's so strong that Sonic can only beat him when he's weakened and then he is... I guess killed dead? He's a dark, edgy dude who feels a little out of place. Like Shadow is the same kind of dark and edgy, but it feels like they tried to push even those boundaries and it comes across as... weird.

There are times in which Infinite is legitimately cool, and times where it just feels like they're trying too hard and it backfires. I personally don't enjoy Infinite all too much, and I think they could have done something with this character to make him fit and work better. Just scaling down his power works a lot. Not making him this uber powerful goon. He's just not interesting enough for that and it becomes his whole character.

I mean, he's a complete afterthought by the end. It's just difficult to care about Infinite, and I don't necessarily need to see him back when there's much better options for Eggman's sidekicks.
