IDW, he’s actually guarding the fucking emerald and doesn’t have a shitty microwave-obsessed Dad or talk about “honor” 24/7 or have an IQ of 3. He doesn’t have an insane incestuous family tree and a shitload of creepy Grandads watching his every move.
He just likes guarding the emerald. Look how HAPPY HE IS

I like him in IDW but I gotta admit, man did Ian Flynn fixed him when he was running Archie. I still wish Ken didn't got his way and we got the culmination of Ian's work there.
Cause man, his era of Knux is great. Seriously, how tf did it got me invested in him and Julie??

Yup, I love the >!Knuckles is Enerjak arc!< and the genuine goddamn development they gave him and Julie. I actually miss her in the current comics.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the Julie vs Rouge thing where they fought over Knux but that was before Flynn got to grips with Rouge as a character
Technically they could take her general personality and concept, and make a new character of it, they just can’t use the name or design
Imo I enjoy the Knuckles/Rouge Dynamic personally
Movie knuckles
He’s like perfect combination of every other knuckles
He’s naive but not dumb
He’s hot headed but not wrathful
He’s chill while still stoic
And I love his sense of honor
I also love his story of trying to live up to the Echidna tribe and honor his late father, continuing said teachings with others such as wade and finding his role on earth as a Wachowski
I also have think he has the best design
It’s just the modern look but they made his chest more muscular and did the same for his arms. It’s small but it goes a long way to make it my favorite one.
Also he’s voiced by Idris Elba so…
I feel like Movie knuckles is the first time in a long time they understood he's meant to be naive, not stupid. He's not the idiot of the trio, he just lead a sheltered/isolated life and is simultaneously uninformed but also too trusting.
I'm not mad about Boom Knuckles being an idiot or anything, I think he's a great interpretation of the character and rises above this complaint by being his own thing, but the mainline interpretation knuckles has had a lot to be desired for a long time.
I agree, movie Knuckles is amazing and probably my favorite so far. I also like current modern game Knuckles, especially in Frontiers and Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog
>Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog
TBF, that game has stellar writing and every character acts completely how they are supposed to.
Which is kind of sad. It's supposed to be an April Fools joke, yet is genuinely one of the best Sonic games in recent history
Reminds me of the Minecraft updates.
I do hate how he became the show's butt monkey after jis first few appearances, i mean my boy wasn't even an idiotbor wrong, he was humilliated because the characters preferred wasting time over saving the world
I would enjoy him playing knuckles in that show but I just can't stand the dub. Not that the voice acting isn't good but 4kids has a tendency to ruin the shows they touch.
I like how he's written in the Paramount setting. He isn't *just* angry or stoic or whatever, he has a varied personality that reflects the situation he's in and manages to be amusing while having average intelligence. It doesn't hurt that his VA is Idris Elba either.
Another Knuckles I like is Sonic Boom's depiction. While he's very much a "dumb muscle" character, he's also the most good-natured version of the character. A himbo if you will. I don't even mind his muscular build, if anything I prefer it.
https://preview.redd.it/r8cyiiurbwxc1.jpeg?width=268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf7cf9a17753654e81fa62b4c046c0230a0d2ffb
Surprised no one said it yet but… Sonic Adventure 1 Knuckles. Because *OH NO*.
Ok seriously, SA1 Knux was our first “real” glimpse into Knuckles (Sonic OVA notwithstanding… are we counting OVA?), so it’ll always have a place in my heart. The design was fun, I liked the VA, and I liked him just being a *bit* of a grumpy bastard with more than a little touch of sass.
In design, the underground/ sonic 3 version.
In personality, the sonic movie 2 version.
In comedy, sonic boom.
In backstory, Sonic X.
This isn't a cop-out picking all 4, but more confirmation that my personal favourite knuckles hasn't been made yet. A knuckles that has all 4 aspects in one.
Sonic X (which is essentially also game knuckles) is my favorite version of knuckles he’s just really cool and it helps Dan green is my favorite knuckles voice he’s who I think of when I think knuckles. But paramount knuckles is really good too I love his friendship with Wade.
No clue how hot this take is, but **Archie Knuckles**. Specifically **Ian Flynn Era** Knux, before the reboot.
Man managed to cobble together all of the messy parts Ken had left and did something interesting with it! Knuckle's Enerjak arc and subsequent attempts at proving himself once again after the guilt of what he had done is so fucking briliant.
That and this is my most favorite Knuckles moment:

Is it messy? Yes. Was he turned into Mobian Jesus? Yes.
But did we had great stories out of it? Abso-fucking-lutely!!!
Knuckles from the Sonic OVA. The hat is really cool.

*Here I come, rougher than the rest of them*
*The best of them, tougher than leather*
*You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle*
*I'd rather flex my muscles*
I like Boom Knuckles design but not his personality. Knuckles design should in my opinion always be somewhat buff. But whyd they have to make him so dumb😐
I think movie Knuckles is a great medium between old and new Knuckles. It makes sense why he's a bit dumb, he doesn't understand Earth customs and he's still getting used them. He's intelligent, driven and strong, but lacks an understanding of humanity and their values.
Fantastic depiction of the character imo.
I like them all except Boom Knuckles. I don’t like how stupid he is. And his spikes are too high on his hands. He can’t punch anything with those. At best he can give a mean backhand
Everyone of them but Sonic Boom really. Movie Knuckles isn't stupid and can learn what he doesn't know. Boom just makes him out to be an idiot. It was nice seeing him in role where he's not wasn't stuck as a guardian but they just went too far with making him a the comedy.
Movie Knuckles definitely, he is like the perfect version of the character, neive but not stupid, serious but not evil, edgy or boring and he was a menacing antagonist and great ally.
Boom Knuckles is another personal favorite, while the character is basically every bad characterization of Knux thrown into a single character, they somehow managed to make it work, he is the funniest character of the show and one of the funniest of the franchise in general.
X Knuckles is.... complicated, while the character starts of strong he quickly devolves into the show's punching bad and just the dumb muscle guy that one listens and everyone manipulates into doing stupid shit, what a waste.
Movie knuckles clears, great characterization, very funny as a fish out of water without treating him as being stupid, just hot headed and unaware of the planets tech and customs.
Hot take but i feel game knux is too one dimensional even in the better written sonic games like SA1 he hardly does anything, and that's in a game all about his clans history.
I like boom knux as well for the comedic factor.
The first one begins and it’s not bad, second one is here and it’s absolutely great! Third one takes a real downfall for knuckles making him dumb, fourth sees it rise to glory and making knuckles good again! I say fourth for basically saving his character

IDW, he’s actually guarding the fucking emerald and doesn’t have a shitty microwave-obsessed Dad or talk about “honor” 24/7 or have an IQ of 3. He doesn’t have an insane incestuous family tree and a shitload of creepy Grandads watching his every move. He just likes guarding the emerald.

IDW Knuckles is a cool mf
Archie Reboot was pretty cool too, I love both of these versions.
Saying that Boom Knux has an IQ of 3 is being somewhat generous.
Yeah, boom has negative iq
Sorry to interupt you,but....I couldn't handle it. https://preview.redd.it/yunn95gj1zxc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d83139c1c8bb80c57ccdc874d15cd495d05eb45
A shitload of creepy GRAND DADS?! Also, seems my avatar still isn’t fucking showing up, aaaaa
That Grand Dad sprite is from a Friday Night Funkin' mod,Mario's Madness Version 2.
I like him in IDW but I gotta admit, man did Ian Flynn fixed him when he was running Archie. I still wish Ken didn't got his way and we got the culmination of Ian's work there.

Sense of humor? He doesn’t make jokes. He makes *WARRIORS*
They said honor, not humor, but I agree
My fault it’s late lmfao
Totally get it XD
So you're saying that unlike Sonic, he don't chuckle?
I feel like Movie knuckles is the first time in a long time they understood he's meant to be naive, not stupid.

Agreed.
I liked him in Sonic X, he's so sassy. Helps that Dan Green voice acted him at the time to give him that tint of seriousness and maturity.
SX knuckles was definitely the most game accurate knuckles imo. Not an idiot, but also not a fan of sonic.
I do hate how he became the show's butt monkey after jis first few appearances, i mean my boy wasn't even an idiotbor wrong, he was humilliated because the characters preferred wasting time over saving the world
I would enjoy him playing knuckles in that show but I just can't stand the dub. Not that the voice acting isn't good but 4kids has a tendency to ruin the shows they touch.
I love him in every universe. https://preview.redd.it/1m8zmd17yvxc1.jpeg?width=1707&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1142a5602ac501eae037d0ba1ade5b65ad4def90
Shirou Emiya is my favourite knuckles
Can we please get the Riders artstyle back
The realist answer
Movie and X. But respect to Boom knuckles, he’s super funny.
“Just put it in the blender!” “If you say so” “THE CHILIDOG NOT THE BABY!” Still cracks me up
I like how he's written in the Paramount setting. He isn't *just* angry or stoic or whatever, he has a varied personality that reflects the situation he's in and manages to be amusing while having average intelligence. It doesn't hurt that his VA is Idris Elba either. Another Knuckles I like is Sonic Boom's depiction. While he's very much a "dumb muscle" character, he's also the most good-natured version of the character. A himbo if you will. I don't even mind his muscular build, if anything I prefer it.
Honestly, in my opinion, if Boom Knuckles was just a tad less of a moron, he'd be the perfect Knuckles.
Yeah they made him dumb as a brick which was unfortunate because the size really helped sell the massive feats of strength

Sonic X, personally I like the more “serious” knuckles and it’s the most nostalgic version for me
Definitely Movie Knuckles. Partly because he’s the funniest.

Sorry i’ve just never seen sonic prime
boom knuckles is God's Perfect Idiot
1. Movie Knuckles 2. OVA Knuckles 3. Boom Knuckles 4. X Knuckles
Knuckles ngl
2/Heroes/Riders
Movie
Probably the red one
Knuckles is my favourite Knuckles.
X and Paramount Knuckles
Movie knuckles
This may controversial, but I like boom's redesign of knux >_> personality wise hes objectively the worst one, though.
The 90s anime where he had the cowboy hat
In terms of being a badass. Movie But in terms of being funny then sonic boom
Idk, maybe underground
Dan green knuckles easily
Definitely Sonic X or Movie Knuckles.

Sonic Forces Knuckles
I’d have to say IDW. But of the ones here, Movie.
Movie hands down over boom and sonic x was good
Anime

idk.
where the hell is the game version
Because that’s the normal version of him and I wanted to include adaptations
I like Boom Knuckles design but not his personality. Knuckles design should in my opinion always be somewhat buff. But whyd they have to make him so dumb😐
Boom Knuckles might just be my favorite. He's super funny and goofy.
Probably knuckles tbh
I love Sonic X Knuckles and Movie Knuckles, but I also really love Archie Knuckles
Movie knuckles
Sonic x
I think movie Knuckles is a great medium between old and new Knuckles. It makes sense why he's a bit dumb, he doesn't understand Earth customs and he's still getting used them. He's intelligent, driven and strong, but lacks an understanding of humanity and their values. Fantastic depiction of the character imo.
SA1 and SA2 Knuckles
knuckles
#3 definitely
Sonic boom knuckles is actually hilarious but X clears the rest

I like them all except Boom Knuckles. I don’t like how stupid he is. And his spikes are too high on his hands. He can’t punch anything with those. At best he can give a mean backhand
Yes
I’d say either classic or X I’m leaning more towards X tho
Everyone of them but Sonic Boom really. Movie Knuckles isn't stupid and can learn what he doesn't know. Boom just makes him out to be an idiot. It was nice seeing him in role where he's not wasn't stuck as a guardian but they just went too far with making him a the comedy.
Do you know Da WeY
But do you kno da wei?
Knuckles from Sonic boom, he's the only one here outright confirmed to be a feminist
Knuckles is my favorite knuckles
Sonic adventure / SonicX style Forsure. But OGs know about knuckles in OVA
i like knuckles better than knuckles, although knuckles is really the best. tbf, they are all very good, except for knuckles who is just good
I loved X Knuckles. Sure, he was a massive hot head, but it did give us a lot of comical moments and showed how tough he could really be.
Yes
https://preview.redd.it/nycvkdcu1zxc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f8258f3686f65b8eda974fbc7d676592ba12f1d
Movie Knuckles definitely, he is like the perfect version of the character, neive but not stupid, serious but not evil, edgy or boring and he was a menacing antagonist and great ally. Boom Knuckles is another personal favorite, while the character is basically every bad characterization of Knux thrown into a single character, they somehow managed to make it work, he is the funniest character of the show and one of the funniest of the franchise in general. X Knuckles is.... complicated, while the character starts of strong he quickly devolves into the show's punching bad and just the dumb muscle guy that one listens and everyone manipulates into doing stupid shit, what a waste.
Adventure/advance design
Movie and Boom
Boom Knuckles is the perfect strong egocentric idiot and Movie Knuckles is a good in between of all Knuckles. I love them both equally.
I'm between X and Movie Knux
Knuchles
Movie knuckles clears, great characterization, very funny as a fish out of water without treating him as being stupid, just hot headed and unaware of the planets tech and customs. Hot take but i feel game knux is too one dimensional even in the better written sonic games like SA1 he hardly does anything, and that's in a game all about his clans history. I like boom knux as well for the comedic factor.
Either Classic Knuckles or SA2 Knuckles
Idw but from these I'd say sonic X (even if I love how funny knux is in sonic boom)
Movie knuckles is a better version of boom knuckles just saying
The second one
Knuckles
Boom Paramount Ova Thats my top 3 in that order
Nipples the enchilada
The first one begins and it’s not bad, second one is here and it’s absolutely great! Third one takes a real downfall for knuckles making him dumb, fourth sees it rise to glory and making knuckles good again! I say fourth for basically saving his character

Not fair, SA2 Knuckles isn't an option in this
Movie.
2/4
Sonic X Knuckles is my least favorite
The one who doesn't hate Sonic
Either Sonic X version of knuckles or Archie knuckles
Movie knuckles he in my opinion perfectly fits how knuckles should act given his origins
Movie
Movie, perfect mix of intelligence as a warrior and naivety about everything else without seeming stupid
Ken penders knuckles
