Wish I knew who decided Antoine "wasn't really Antoine", though. I got REALLY disappointed when I saw that, because it meant that instead of explaining a change in a character, you're backpedaling and saying it's an imposter they somehow didn't pick up on (really, NO ONE knew why the scar happened?) and so let's bring back the version people remember that makes things simpler again.
Ken Penders decided it. His one "fix-all" is to drudge up a twin of some sort. Seriously, look at his track record:
- Killing Sally: Should Endgame have ended with Sally actually dying, Evil Twin Robot Sally would prevail for a year.
- Tails isn't really Tails: Oh wait, I'm sorry, the Tails you knew all these years? A fake. The REAL Tails is somewhere else.
- Roboticized Whatever Guys: The Destructix were apparently roboticized at one point but those were just decoys purported by "Anonymous". The real Destructix are still flesh and blood.
- Roboticized Turtle: Tommy Turtle died but that was also a twin of some kind.
- Love Quadrangle: Evil Sonic tags along with Evil Antoine and attempts to bone anything with a pair of breasts in Knothole (Sally, Mina, Amy, Bunnie, and Rouge), pretending to be Sonic. Hilarity ensues as nobody realizes Evil Sonic did this - Sonic just thinks he's really lucky to have all these girls fighting over him and all the girls think Sonic's a gigantic asshole.
- And of course: Evil Antoine. Why is Antoine such a stone-cold asshole all of a sudden, and where did he get that scar? Well, despite the fact that an explanation was written but never used (Antoine slipped on a banana peel while making lunch, and a knife nearly took his eye - and from that day onwards, Antoine vowed to stop being such a wussy goofball), Ken decided to use his handy-dandy catch-all explanation: That's not really Antoine, it's a duplicate of some kind! And worst of all, he's plotting to kill the King and marry Princess Sally!
Thankfully, the Solicitations Nero linked sounds like Ian's going to be cleaning up that entire mess, as one of the last issues Ken wrote before Ian came in was Evil Antoine getting engaged to Sally.
