- For the version of this character before the Super Genesis Wave, see T-Pup (Pre-Super Genesis Wave).
T-Pup is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a small, canine-like robot built by Miles "Tails" Prower. He has since operated as a support unit to the Freedom Fighters, usually accompanying his master into battle.
Appearance
T-Pup resembles a disproportionate, goofy, robotic Chihuahua that vaguely looks like Tails. His coloring is light orange and gray and he has gray eyes. His head is roughly the same size as his body and he has large eyes, a large metal muzzle, a thin tail with a metal sphere at the end and a pink tongue.
History
Past

Tails created T-Pup with Nicole's assistance,[1] and later put him to use during his campaign against the Battle Bird Armada. He aided Tails in a number of challenges, including helping him defeat the villainous Dr. Fukurokov.[2] Later, when Rotor the Walrus left Mobotropolis to oversee completion of the Sky Patrol, he apparently took T-Pup with him.[3]
Worlds Collide
- Note: Due to the Genesis Wave, T-Pup's history from this point was changed to be nearly identical to that of his game counterpart.
In the alternate version of Sonic's World created during the second Genesis Wave, T-Pup apparently still existed, as Tails mentioned that Mega Man's robot dog Rush reminded him of T-Pup.[4] Sonic the Hedgehog's attempts to undo the reality-alteration would later be interfered by Dr. Eggman, resulting in T-Pup's world being restored in an unstable state.[5]
Shattered World Crisis
Act One
- Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where T-Pup's original timeline ended.
When Sonic, Tails, and Nicole arrived in the Mystic Ruins to search for Rotor, Tails and T-Pup shared a happy reunion.[3] T-Pup then joined the trio in their quest to find the other Freedom Fighters. When the group reached Metropolis Zone, T-Pup was left to pilot the Tornado while Sonic and Tails successfully sought out Bunnie. The five were caught by the Metropolis Egg Army in the process, but they managed to fight their way out and rendezvoused at the Tornado, still flown by T-Pup, before escaping back to the Sky Patrol.[6] He remained aboard the Sky Patrol as the Shattered World Crisis began,[7] and flew into action alongside his master when the Freedom Fighters launched relief efforts in Station Square.[8] T-Pup was also called into action alongside Omochao, Cheese, and Big the Cat as Cream the Rabbit led them to the rescue of Team Freedom and Team Fighters in Soumerca.[9] He later joined in the defense of the Sky Patrol from Dark Gaia Creatures just prior to receiving Dr. Ellidy's distress call, and sustained damage that Tails noted would need to be repaired.[10]
Act Two
Personality
T-Pup acts much like a household dog, panting with its tongue held out, yipping and yapping, whining when scared, sad or damaged, growling at enemies and even seen sleeping at the foot of Tails' bed. It does seem to have something of a greater personality than a pet.
Powers and abilities

T-Pup is capable of flight via a propeller that comes out of its back and also has a variety of both high-tech equipment for field missions and basic functions. For example, he can project holographic images with his eyes and can also use them to cast light. He is also capable of swimming and diving underwater.
