Fleetway refers to Fleetway Publications, publisher of the British Sonic the Comic which ran from 1993 to 2002. In that series Super Sonic was not a heroic boost but a separate, psychotic personality unleashed by Chaos Energy, with swirling red eyes and a cruel streak. Fan edits, animations and memes revived the character in the 2010s and 2020s, using his laugh and transformation cues to signal a hero completely losing control.
