I think the thing that makes Mimic so fun to hate is because he has two of the most detested qualities in history, Traitorous and Cowardice, he never does anything for any reason other than to save his own skin, he betrayed his team not for power or money, but so that Eggman wouldn't kill him.

One interesting thing I just realized about Mimic: His current disguise as Duo takes an interestingly similar design to Slinger of the original Diamond Cutters. The fact his fake disguise is similar to a member of the team HE INDIRECTLY MURDERED is very cold and shocking to realize. Almost like if he was trying to give a sign that Whisper would have to take a moment to fully speculate.

Mimic is probably the most sinister Sonic character yet.

Dr. Starline is the most messed up villain.
Surge is the most broken villain.
Clutch is the most pleasant villain.
Mimic is the most evil villain.

And, Rough and Tumble are the most comical.

0:21 "Mimic is fighting his own war and he has no rules. No boundaries. He doesn't flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. He's not loyal to a flag, a country, or any idea. He trades blood for money..."

It's funny how the Diamond Cutters are just the Sonic equivalent of FOXHOUND from Metal Gear, yet in this case the Decoy Octopus lives.

I like how even tho he turned on Zavok, they got along well during the Bad Guys IWD comic

This is the most tragic and dark story in the IDW series ever.

Mimic is the type of villain who will go out of his way to inflict serious damage to your character persona in many ways imaginable, whether it could be mentally, physically, or emotionally without an ounce of remorse. Just like Ridley the space pirate from Metroid when he ate Samus' parents infront of her while she was a child.

I think how the Mimic reveal is gonna go down is during the long run, Mimic continues to stay under everyone's noses while attempting to sabotage The Neo Diamond Cutters by manipulating Lanolin because of her strict, stubborn no nonsense yet inexperienced attitude and this would lead to tension within the team that is of course until during one of the races where the Neo Diamond Cutters are trapped and Lanolin calls "Duo" for help this is where Mimic revealed his true identity and colors and proceeded to leave her for dead, this is where Lanolin realized how wrong she's been for not believing in her friends

Mimic to me gives off serial killer vibes and he legit creeps me out and that’s a good thing. Most Sonic villains I’ve seen are funny (Eggman), pathetic in an annoying way (Infinite and Zavok, cool (Chaos, Dark Gaia, Mephiles, Scourge) and Mimic is none of those, he doesn’t make me laugh, he makes me uncomfortable, he’s not cool because he’s a coward and he can turn into anyone. Like imagine he can shapeshift into someone’s parent, sibling, romantic partner, co-worker, friend and he can just pull a Michael Myers and just stab them right there!

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 🙏

It seems to me that Mimic is worse than Starline. Although Starline also did a lot of terrible things and maybe even worse, he at least did it for a bigger purpose: to replace Eggman, Sonic and Tails and break the Sonic Cycle. Mimic sold the team, tried to kill Whisper, and Tangle at the same time just to save his skin, and also emotionally torments the first one just for his pleasure, and basically does his job for money and pleasure.

the fact that mimic has so many qualities that makes him so hate-able yet people still love him as a character is how you know you've made an s-tier villain

Please let Shadow end Mimic.  It would be a cruel irony as he led his team to be killed by Shadow Androids.

Man, Mimic is one of the scariest characters in Sonic! I haven't read the spin off comics so this video is really the first time I've learned about him.

Comparing mimic to ted bundy is crazy but accurate at the same time

Funny how both Sonic and Mario have a shapeshifter in their worlds, even though one is more dangerous than the other.

The Little Nightmares Music in the intro was such a great choice.

He is, by definition, a sociopathic remorseless conniving cowardly shape-shifting killer. Whether their lives were taken by his own hands or not, he is accountable for the murders that occured that fateful day, and the fact that he's willing to kill not only Tangle, but Lanolin, Jewel and Silver (not to mention countless others) to reach her is unsettling. Just imagine you're walking back to your quarters to meet with friends, only for a blade to strike you off-guard and leave you dead or in a hospital bed.

Damn...

I really hope Tangle doesn't get too roughed up. But I feel like if anyone's gonna be hurt first, it makes the most sense for Tangle as they're the closest with each other.

He's so good at his job that he gaslighted a part of the community into blaming the wrong person.
