Trivia
Agent Stone is an original character created for the 2020 film adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog. He has never appeared in any video games or comics yet. However, Stone is quite similar to the pre-existing character of Snively. Unlike Snively, Agent Stone seems to genuinely admire Robotnik and is not a relative of his.
He can also view as a mix of Orbot and Cubot from the video games, as he understands what Robotnik's words mean but somehow doesn't share the intellect with his boss.
Despite being the secondary antagonist of the film, Agent Stone appeared very little and never interacted with Sonic or Tom.
In the novelization of the film, Agent Stone fills the role of Commander Waters as the one who visits Tom and Maddie at the end, giving them a government radio receiver rather than an Olive Garden card.
