StC Post-Mortems: Metamorphia

Metamorphia is one of the StC villains who has a complete arc that spans across the sort of “middle era” of the comic. She’s always been somewhat well-known within the fandom and has a lot of potential, making her pretty easy to talk about for these Post-Mortems

How it started

She looked a bit different in her first appearance in the comic, huh? But if the name doesn’t make it obvious enough, Metamorphia is a shape-shifter. She was created by Grimer in order to serve Robotnik, who she adores. On her first appearance, Metamorphia posed as a bear Mobian who needed help in order to trick Sonic into leaving the others and following her into a trap

She soon revealed her true colours, however, and after a battle, Sonic was able to defeat her, wrongly assuming she met her end when she fell into a fire after their battle

How it went

But second time’s a charm, right? No? How about third time? No again?

Shortly after her first appearance, Metamorphia makes two more attempts to trick the Freedom Fighters, posing as a hedgehog both times, though neither time ending in success. But here’s the interesting part about Metamorphia: There’s follow-ups to her defeats. It isn’t a simple case of “Sonic stops the bad guy that was sent after him, the end”. We get to see her performances reviewed by Robotnik and he’s none too happy with them

Metamorphia presented a strain on the relationship of Robotnik & Grimer - with Grimer wanting desperately for his boyfriend to approve of his daughter, but Robotnik not giving her an inch

She had one last chance to prove herself to Robotnik in a battle against Shortfuse & Tekno. But when Metamorphia failed that as well, Robotnik ultimately decided to strip her of her powers and toss her in a badnik. This wouldn’t be the end for the character, however

How it ended

Although technically not her final appearance, Metamorphia’s character arc is concluded in issue 83. She must've been trapped as a badnik for sometime, before happening to cross paths with Tails, who frees her from this. After being saved, Metamorphia has a good cry over how badly Robotnik treated her, before vowing to never work for him again This sparks one final change for the better, causing her to turn back into a bear Mobian, just like she was during her first appearance. I guess she subconsciously liked this form? After this, Metamorphia is free to start a new life, unable to be tracked by Robotnik

She did technically make one more appearance after that, a long time afterwards in issue 130, when Robotnik used the powers of the Chaos Emeralds to make himself a god and create a reality where Sonic never existed. In this reality, he brought back several of Sonic’s former foes, including Metamorphia, who posed as Tails to trick Sonic once more. But this version of Metamorphia was destroyed in a blast from another villain called Plasma and we can assume that, when reality was returned to normal, Metamorphia was also returned to her new life with no memories of what had happened

Were there any unused future plans from the StC writers?

I couldn’t find any further plans for Metamorphia, but despite her prominence as a villain, this doesn’t surprise me too much. Her arc as a character was finished and her writer, Lew Stringer, was quite reliable at finishing up his characters’ arcs and then being done - Metamorphia, Brutus and Shortfuse all have conclusions to their stories within StC. Which is for the best, seeing as if they hadn’t, it would’ve been even more unsatisfying when the comic would one day abruptly stop making new stories and thus any chances to give the characters proper closure would be gone

What would I personally have liked to see next for her if StC continued?

I have two ideas for what I’d have liked to have seen from Metamorphia if she’d returned to StC. I think I’ve mentioned this one before, but this is my main one. Assuming that Metamorphia stayed good, I’d like to see her come back as an ally for Tails in his solo stories. I do think the Tails stories were lacking a consistent supporting character to make them stand out a bit more. Amy’s stories have Tekno, Knuckles’s stories have Porker and Tails’s stories could have Metamorphia

It’d be fun to see her come back, perhaps having realised she still has some limited shape-shifting abilities, and wants to use that to help fight against Robotnik this time. Actually, her appearance in issue 130 could even be a good excuse for that - have it so that when reality was returned to normal, Robotnik’s meddling with that Chaos Emeralds’ power accidentally reawakened her shape-shifting abilities again after so long - easy as that!

Alternatively, have her reunite with Grimer. This could either be as an extension of the previous idea or if you want her to go back to being a villain, have her team up with Grimer as part of a villain duo instead. Grimer ultimately quits working for Robotnik at the end of the series, so it’d be interesting to see if he would seek out his creation to potentially make amends with her after that, as well as see how Metamorphia might react to that. I could see Grimer potentially returning as a villain separate to Robotnik in the comic, but despite having a few outings of his own in StC, he’s not exactly got the fire-power without his tech, so Metamorphia could be a good way to add some muscle to the team. The two of them could become loose cannon villains who equally will fight against either the Freedom Fighters or Robotnik when they cross paths

What if she was in other Sonic media?

Metamorphia did make a small cameo in Archie Sonic! It’s not as obvious as the Tekno, Ebony & Pyjamas cameos in this same image, but you can just see her behind Big the Cat here in the original bear form that she first appeared in during issue 30

Outside of that, I think that, like Windy Wallis, you could easily make a case for Metamorphia working as one of the Egg Bosses in post-reboot Archie. Of course, IDW has their own shape-shifting character in Mimic, so there’s less need for her over there. But outside of that, shape-shifters are versatile by design, so you could probably put her in most other Sonic universes to fill the role of a shape-shifting villain without needing to do too much work. Sure, Grimer doesn’t exist outside of StC, but I hate to say it, you could always just cut out the middleman and have her be made directly by Eggman instead. She could even be an older sister to Sage! Give Sage a character arc where she realises that Eggman doesn't treat her big sister as well as he treats Sage and have Sage develop some morality feelings about it. I’d like that

Commission for @samcybercat who asked for a redesign of Metamorphia's final form in Sonic the Comic (Fleetway Sonic)

It was important to me to keep the charm points of the original (the big bow, lipstick, the clunky shoes) but just modernize it a bit. Took some inspiration from Jirai-kei fashion. Tied it all together with a butterfly background that I thought fit pretty thematically

Anyway, very fun to do!
