Dark Enerjak or just Enerjak, is the main antagonist of The Silver Saga storyline in Archie Comics' Sonic Universe comic book series. He is an alternate future version of Enerjak, hailing from the Zone known as Dark Mobius, corrupted the current Guardian of Angel Island, Knuckles the Echidna, and conquered Mobius, turning it into a desolate world and stealing the Cores of his victims and turning them into his Prelate enforcers. Taking joy in tormenting the Freedom Fighters of his world, Dark Enerjak ultimately planned to expand his rule to the entire multiverse.
Biography[]
Past[]
Knuckles' past was identical to his Prime Zone counterpart's until the point where he attempted to reunify the Dark Legion as Chaos Knuckles. Due to no interference from Lara-Su, he eventually let his powers corrupt him. He took over the Dark Legion after growing disappointed with its leadership, and absorbed the High Council into it. He eventually killed Dr. Eggman and continued to use the Legion to influence affairs on Mobius, with his friends and even his common-law wife Julie-Su beginning to oppose his actions, realizing what he was becoming.
After a failed assassination attempt by Remington, Knuckles fully gave in to Enerjak's spirit, taking over Mobius over the years and killing many of its heroes and villains, including Sonic and Julie-Su. He removed his victims' Cores to make Prelates out of them, and hanged their bodies as trophies in his citadel. He was, however, opposed by the Dark Freedom Fighters, led by his daughter Lara-Su, now known as Jani-Ca. To prevent his daughter from finding the Sword of Acorns, he sank the continent of Downunda.
Sonic Universe[]
Seeking new challenges in alternate Zones, Dark Enerjak sent Prelate-V into Prime Zone's future, alerting its hero Silver of the Dark Mobius' existence. By confronting the Prelate, however, Silver let himself be known to Knuckles, who awaited his arrival. Finding the Freedom Fighters' account, he attacked them, starting a fight against them and Silver. He managed to kill and de-core most of the remaining Freedom Fighters, though Silver and Jani-Ca remained standing. When he was about to finish off the hedgehog, Jani-Ca used the Sword of Acorns' power to drain Enerjak of his power, making him go into her body, and leaving Knuckles a withered, powerless echidna. Jani-Ca then destroyed the sword to make sure Knuckles could never become Enerjak again.
Knuckles would reluctantly aid his daughter in reverting the damage done to Mobius, including the possible resurrection of those he had de-Cored.
