| “ | I AM GOD! | „ |
| ~ Sonic.exe's most famous quote. |
| “ | Hello. Do you want to play with me? | „ |
| ~ Sonic.exe to Tails. |
Sonic.exe (sometimes stylized as Sonic.EXE), also known by his cult alias X, is the titular main antagonist of the infamous Creepypasta of the same name and its sequel Sonic.exe: Round 2 by JC-the-Hyena.
He is an anomalous, interdimensional energy-based entity driven by an instinctive lust for destruction and pain. Becoming completely obsessed with enslaving the human race, X took the form of Sonic the Hedgehog and created a haunted CD-ROM copy of the original Sega Genesis game that acted as a portal separating his dimension from Earth. Since then, he's been using his cult to pass down the game from victim to victim, hoping to one day use it to merge the two realms together and rule the alien world and other worlds as a god. Fortunately, he and the canon that he belongs in would eventually be rebooted completely, being replaced by his new version from SONIC 2011.
His official voice actor was SheyGrell.
Appearance[]
Sonic.exe is almost identical to the original Sonic, but there are some noticeable differences. His fur is darker and he wears black and has either red or gray shoes. When he smiles, his mouth unnaturally widens and reveals yellow, fanged teeth (Sir JC explained that the yellow color is not due to tooth decay, but a side effect from when he was created). His eyes are pitch black with two glowing red dots as irises and very small pupils. Interestingly, Exe always seems to have blood under his eyes, even when he's not crying. This is actually a major birthmark, as his eyes hurt greatly when he was born. Apart from the blood, there's also a faint but visible rash under his eyes from crying an excessive amount of blood.
When Sonic.exe is in his disguised form, he looks very accurate, except for his noticeably sharp white teeth. In his semi-disguised form, he undergoes changes that are similar to his disguised form and physical form.
In his Dark EXE form, he appears grayish black with static effects running through him. He also has a large red "X" mark on his abdomen.
In his plush form, he takes the exact appearance of a regular Sonic plush, except for his bloodstained red eyes with bloodstains beneath them. This form is utilized towards the end of the Creepypasta.
In his True EXE form, he transforms into a bulky demon. He wears a signature outfit consisting of a purple and black sleeveless, short-legged, skin-tight spandex suit. The suit has a black fur collar around the neck that leads to an emblem of his own design. The emblem resembles a blue demonic smiley face with four large red ribbons forming an "X". Exe also wears a black and gold-lined cloak around his waist, held up by a black leather belt with a red "X" buckle. His boots are knee-high and have a gothic design. Each boot has two belts on the back and purple lights under the heel and sole, indicating the presence of an anti-gravity device. His gloves are fingerless with purple lining on the finger holes, and the cuffs are large and cup-shaped, similar to Tails' glove cuffs but without the straps.
In his true form, Sonic.exe appears as a sentient mass of dark matter with two red eyes.
Personality[]
| “ | This Sonic was a monster, a pure evil, sadistic, all-powerful, nightmarish, demented monster... And all of his victims, including Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik and possibly Kyle, are just his little toys, and the game is the very gateway into his chaotic, nightmarish world and the very Hell his victims are trapped in. | „ |
| ~ Tom describing Sonic.exe. |
The personification and literal physical incarnation of insanity and evil itself, Sonic.exe is warped, vicious, sadistic, ruthless, heartless and incredibly cruel. An anarchist by nature, Sonic.exe strays from the original Sonic the Hedgehog's jovial and heroic personality and instead being known for his unrelenting sadism and psychopathic nature, preferring to mentally torture and degrade his victims before robbing them of their souls and freedom. A literal and metaphorical monster, Sonic.exe's overall goal is to conquer everything in sight no matter how many innocent lives he has to sacrifice in order to achieve what he wants. He takes sadistic pleasure in creating chaos and misery, as well as tormenting and abusing his victims, torturing them in their sleep by invading their dreams to warn them of his coming presence. Sonic.exe is also a master manipulator, as he was able to manipulate both Kyle and Tom into playing the game, as well as being the leader of the Cult of X, pointing to him being quite charismatic as well. However, he can use Sonic's real form whenever he feels like to give his victims a false sense of security.
Sonic.exe's primary weakness is his overall childish nature when faced with failure or concepts he disagrees with. His obsession with Sonic has gone as far as to make him despise others who dislike Sonic (though this is quite hypocritical since he dislikes Sonic when he does not act the way Sonic.exe wants him to). This supposed admiration for Sonic is not genuine however as he is only interested in Sonic's acts of heroism rather than any true care for the hedgehog. On rare occasions has Sonic.exe demonstrated how violent and hostile he can be at times when he doesn't get his way, often culminating in him throwing a violent, rage-filled tantrum due to not 'winning' his games. Sonic.exe is also incredibly egotistical, callous and arrogant. A complete narcissist who sees himself above everyone, Sonic.exe sees humans as disposable puppets he can manipulate and torture for as long as he likes simply because he wields the power to do so.
Biography[]
Background[]
X was accidentally created in the void during a cataclysm involving multiple forms of primordial energy, indirectly creating a sentient mass of dark matter with two red eyes. The entity floated around the void for a while until he found a window to both the human world and Sonic's world, in which he became fascinated with Sonic and shaped his body to match his idol's appearance to store his energy. His first laugh (a la Kefka) gave the world the indication that this creature was evil incarnate. He escaped his birth place and created a world molded around the levels in the video games and started to scheme his plan of world domination.
Sonic.exe[]
The original Sonic.exe story centers on Tom, a young man who was a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, especially the older games. He claimed that he had not played any glitched or hacked games before, though he admitted that he did not want to after an experience he had.
He then proceeded to recount his experience, saying how he received a CD and an accompanying letter from his friend Kyle, begging him to destroy the disc before it's "too late" and not to never play the game.
Ignoring his friend's warnings, Tom played the game and began to encounter odd, somewhat disturbing phenomena, from a title card featuring an evil-looking Sonic with bloody eyes and glowing pupils with a wide smile to the presence of a file select screen similar to that of the one in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with a red background and chilling music playing.
As he picked the only available character Tails and began the first stage titled "HILL ACT 1", Tom continued to find more evidence that there was something wrong with the game, namely the copious amounts of dead animals, all murdered in gruesome ways and eventually encountering Sonic at the end of the level, standing completely still and with his eyes closed.
When Tails attempted to get his attention during a cutscene by tapping him on the shoulder, Sonic's eyes opened, identical to the evil Sonic on the title screen before cutting to black, with the message "Hello. Do you want to play with me?" In the next level, "HIDE AND SEEK", Tom witnessed Sonic chasing Tails, the former flying despite an inability to do so without a Super form, before disappearing, teleporting in front of the distraught fox and killing him and cutting to black. Tails screams as his throat is slit; a splash of blood is seen coming from his neck.
Shocked, Tom reads the next message, "YOU'RE TOO SLOW. WANT TO TRY AGAIN?". After playing as Knuckles and losing a supposed "boss battle" with Sonic, with Knuckles dying the same way as Tails, Tom decided to take a break from the game.
However, his rest was plagued by nightmares featuring the corrupted Tails and Knuckles, and the demonic Sonic, with him waking in a cold sweat. Returning to the game, Tom picked Dr. Robotnik from the file select screen and continued with the game.
At the end of the level, Sonic teleported in front of Robotnik, before the screen cut to red static. Then, a "autentic" image of Sonic appeared on the screen, with the words "I AM GOD!". This Sonic had bleeding black and red eyes, a very wide grin, and sharp bloodstained teeth. After the game ended, Tom turned around to find, to his utter horror, a bloodied Sonic plush doll on his bed. Tom's fate is ambiguous (though the official sequel reveals that Tom committed suicide to escape from the entity using Sonic's likeness). Kyle was likely Exe's previous victim.
Round 2[]
The next installment of Sonic.exe takes us on a thrilling journey with Detective Derek Green, a young and determined investigator. Together with his sister Chelsea, they delve into the dark and twisted world of murders committed by an unknown entity. However, things take a sinister turn when Chelsea is captured by the notorious Exe, leading to Derek being mysteriously removed from the case. But that doesn't deter him from seeking justice and rescuing his sister. Undeterred by his removal from the case, Derek embarks on a secret mission to uncover the truth behind each murder committed by Exe.
As he delves deeper into the investigation, paranoia begins to consume him, making him question the loyalty of everyone around him. It is during this time that Derek encounters a mysterious contact named "Cole," who reveals the shocking revelation that the Cult is behind the entire conspiracy. Furthermore, Cole informs Derek that Chelsea is trapped in Exe's twisted realm. Determined to save his sister and put an end to Exe's reign of terror, Derek's relentless pursuit leads him straight into the clutches of the Cult.
Confronted by one of the Cult Leaders, Shannon Goldman, Derek's hope lies in destroying the game disk that has caused so much suffering. However, his efforts prove futile as Shannon reveals the Cult's contingency plan - multiple copies of the disk. In a chilling turn of events, Exe is summoned by Shannon and steals Derek's very soul, leaving him trapped in a nightmarish existence. Three weeks later, Derek's boss receives a message from Cole, shedding light on the horrifying events that unfolded.

Trivia[]
- JC the Hyena had stated that he was inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King when creating Sonic.exe, as well by an edit done by himself of the Sonic 1 title screen
- In August of 2021, JC was exposed for predatory behavior towards minors alongside his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Love, whom he had emotionally abused and conditioned into believing his behavior was acceptable. Since then, both have relinquished their ownership to Astranomicon, Revie_03 (EXE's creator) and JoeDoughBoi (Lord X's creator)
- JC has taken the opportunity to apologize and share his perspective on the matter. While he may not be a pedophile, his actions were still wrong and harmful.
- As of now JoeDoughBoi owns this version of X which he would remade into X(2011) meanwhile Revie owns 2017 , and lastly Shei owns Xenophanes ( The current canon Sonic.exe).
- Contrary to popular belief, X is actually not his real name, but rather the name he uses within the Cult of X[4]. His true name is "Sonic.exe"[1][2], naming himself after the distributed titular disc as it was the label he had been called by many.
- Prior to having his origins revealed, it was widely believed that in terms of the lore, Sonic.exe was a demon possessing Sonic the Hedgehog. This turned out to be false, however, as the two are canonically separate entities.
- It is also worth noting that Sonic.exe idolizes Sonic to the point of obsession.
- Sonic.exe's favorite food is a bowl of meatballs with tomato sauce and sliced pickles. The pickles serve as side humor for his character since it was mainly based on Mr. Krabs' description of a soul in the Spongebob Halloween Episode "Scaredy Pants".
- Sonic.exe hates Amy Rose with a fiery passion because he sees her as a threat to him having Sonic all to himself.
- He also dislikes anyone who likes Amy Rose as well.
- Though initially well received by the Creepypasta community, the story (along with Sonic.exe himself) has recently met a more negative critical reception, due to the overuse of horror clichés. YouTube channel MichaelLeroi read both the original and the sequel, giving both very bad reviews, in addition to both stories being removed from Creepypasta Wiki for "failing to meet quality standards" and moved to Trollpasta Wiki, which resulted in a slightly controversial reaction from J.C. The Hyena, the author of the stories, was also met with high criticism, which he has since retracted. The story and video feature heavy use of "hyper-realism" and overused shock value and jumpscares, which have become clichés and are now considered a no-no. Stories about "haunted games and videos" are no longer being accepted as a result, due to the typically negative reactions towards these Pastas.
- Sonic.exe is somewhat similar to the Super Sonic of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic series, being a more powerful but evil, possibly demonic version of the character, though that Super Sonic was still Sonic (making him all that much scarier), whereas Sonic.exe is an entity taking Sonic's likeness. He is also similar to "Dark Sonic" from the TV series "Sonic X", when Sonic becomes enraged and power-hungry.
- While Xenophanes is the current canon Sonic.exe he did not replaced this X, The original X alongside MY5TCrimson's variant were completely replaced by X(2011) who became the canonical original Sonic.exe and not by Xenophanes as it's usually believed
- The amount of blood Sonic.exe cries has caused a faint rash under his eyes. It is unknown exactly why his eyes bleed.
- Despite what many think, the cause of Sonic.exe's yellow teeth is one of the few side effects when his body was made. However, the blood on his mouth strongly implies that he eats the remains of his victims after taking their souls.
- A video of the "game" appeared on YouTube in 2012, with the "sequel" Sally.exe appearing about two years later.
- Although the player has some control over Knuckles, the game will auto-fail and result in each "playable" character's gruesome demise. The corpses are shown behind TV static on the character selection screen, implying that Sonic.exe has corrupted and enslaved them.
- Even though Sonic.exe is incredibly strong and immortal, his real form is just as strong but weak in defense.
- There are many fan games that are based on him and many different variants. The most popular variation is Exetior, the alternate-reality counterpart of the original and titular main antagonist of the Sonic.exe: Nightmare Beginning series developed by JaizKoys. Another variation based on the original Creepypasta story appeared in the sequel of the bad ending with the name Sark, but these versions are normal demons (Exetior used to be one of the highest) while the real Sonic.exe (despite his similar abilities) isn't a normal demon, he is a demon made out of Dark Matter created in the Void.
- On January 13th, 2017, the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account tweeted "Watch out for black cats today. No one is immune. #Friday13th", which featured a short video of Sonic transforming into Sonic.exe and the background turning into a bloody version of Green Hill Zone.
- Unlike what's believed, the original X, MY5TCRIMSON's Sonic.exe and Xenophanes (Both the FNF version by Erick Animations and the canon version by ASTRON0MICONX) are not the same character
- It was confirmed that X forces his slaves to suck him off upon entering his realm, as seen in a post JC made, which showed a close up of X's crotch from a first person perspective (Which we have cropped out for your sake.) It is unknown whether this is canon to 2017 X, although considering the way a certain extract of the remade story is written, it probably is. JC is truly a disgusting, horrible person.
- Sonic.EXE is set to appear in the 2023 fan animated film, Sonic Villains as an antagonist.
- His personality and character have undergone some change. Rather than being an obsessive and feral beast, he acts more like a tactical and poise supervillain. He's also an actual .exe program instead of an extraterrestrial.
- After JC was exposed, Crimson, developer of the 2013 Sonic.EXE game, disassociated itself from any connection to the lore made by JC, with the Sonic.EXE in its games now being a distinct entity.
- This incarnation of X appears on Sonic.exe The Creepypasta Remake by Oldum77 during the I AM GOD screen ( which was drawn by JC himself) so it's possible that the game was canon to this X at some point or it was put for accuracy sake
- The original X also has appeared on the arg known as kyle_x52390, this was mentioned by JoeDoughBoi on the character's official iceberg.
- Sonic.exe has seven guardians:
- Kirai, The Guardian Of Hatred.
- Kito, The Guardian Of Prayer.
- Gekido, The Guardian Of Anger.
- Kyoufu, The Guardian of Fear.
- Kofuku, The Guardian of Happiness.
- Aishu, The Guardian Of Sorrow.
- Yukubo, The Guardian Of Desire.
- He didn't get gray shoes unti 2013, Before that he looked exactly as how he looked in MY5TCrimson's game and how he was described by Tom in the original story
- There was another similar Sonic OC from 2007 which is rumored to be the original Sonic.exe by many Twitter users however this is false by the reason below,
- As stated before, the character was actually based on an edit of the Sonic 1 title screen, which was done by JC himself as well
