Charmy Bee is a recurring character in Sonic the Comic and Sonic the Comic Online. Charmy is a member of the Chaotix Crew and is a prince of The Hive, being the son of the Queen Bee.
Personality[]
Perhaps the most useless member, Charmy occasionally did come in handy by being able to fly, often catching his friends if they had fallen off a building. Charmy also has a stinger but, if like real bees, it is likely that using it would be suicide for him. Instead, Charmy often annoys the other three members with incessant singing and a need to talk nonsensically all the time.
History[]
It is unknown exactly when Charmy left The Hive and reneged on his royal duties. The bee was presumably contacted by the Omni-Viewer who wished to form a team ready to dispose of Doctor Robotnik's influence in the Special Zone. Thus, Chaotix was born.
Charmy still had a close relationship with The Hive even after he left, being able to borrow dozens of worker bees to save Chaotix from The Fundamental Four. However, he was later summoned home where he would remain forever, carrying out his royal responsibilities. After bringing Sonic the Hedgehog with him, his friend saving The Hive from Vesper's wasp attack, Charmy was allowed to return back home to Chaotix.
As well as several more adventures with Chaotix, Charmy also visited Mobius on a couple of occasions to help out. On a whim, he happened to visit Sonic while fighting Metal Mate, a robot badly-designed by Max Gamble. Using his flying prowess, Charmy was able to dispose of a plutonium bomb set to explode. He would later respond to a call for help from Tails, the two aiding each other in the final collapse of D.R.A.T..
Later, Chaotix were attacked by the Crimson Cobra. Charmy was subjected to the brain-scrambler, but he did not get aggressive like his colleagues. Instead, in his insanity, Charmy bought out Crimson Cobra Inc. with his immense wealth, ending the crime-lord's threat.
Trivia[]
- When Charmy Bee returned to SEGA games, his personality had become very similar to his STC counterpart.
- Charmy has often been mispelled Charmee, right up to his final appearance in the print comic.
- STC-O gave Charmy a redesign, dressing him in the orange jacket worn in Sonic games.
