Tesla Hunt The Hedgehog

 This is the 2015 version of Tesla The Hedgehog, not to be confused with the original.This is the new and current version of Tesla The Hedgehog, created by Alphonse Uprising, also known as Tesla-That-Hedgehog on deviantART. Tesla is a 26-year-old hedgehog with the ability to conduct electricity.

2005 - 2008
The Tesla character was first created by Alphonse Uprising in the year 2005 as Sparky, and the Sonic franchise didnt have an electric type character yet. Tesla was originally going to be born 6 years in the future, in 2011, but was later changed to 1988.

Sparky's initial preparatory design looked so much like Shadow, and was created as an android with electrical powers by GUN. The biography was changed, Sparky's name was changed and was rebooted.

2009 - 2013
2nd generation Tesla featured a black hedgehog with green secondary colors, with white gloves. and a newfound ability called ESP, allowing him to give victims headaches and more, making Tesla not only an electric type, but a psychic type, too. His story was changed to instead of being created by someone else, was originally a scientist, who, after an experiment that failed miserably, permanently changed his appearance.

In Q4 2010, Tesla's color channels was changed to  bluer color, but didnt resemble Sonic anyhow. This, for some reason created Tesla G2.5 (generation 2.5).

2014
Not long ago in 2014, he was rebooted, giving him opposite colored gloves, athletic tape, red bracelets, and new high tops. This is known as Generation 3, or Current Generation.

In July 2014, Tesla was rebooted as a 2015 character. he still appears as a black hedgehog, but has two dark blue stripes on his forehead, and comes back with 5 quills, the ones in the middle sort of lifted up. His highlights were replaced with blue diagnol stripes instead of athletic tape. His eyes were also changed, a la Venice The Mink. Tesla will continue to go through these changes until the creator, Alphonse Uprising, is satisfied of it.

2016
Tesla's "Zipperpunk" design has been introduced.

Power and Abilities
Tesla has electrical  powers. He is able to absorb electricity and charge it as energy that rushes through his veins. Electropunch Tesla can simply charge his hands together and punch an opponent, also electrocuting him.

Electric Homing Attack
Just like how Sonic is able to destroy robots with his homing attack, Tesla can use his electricity and speed to form a ball of spinning electricity so fast, that it can home into objects.

Upsilon The Mink
Tesla and Upsilon held an intense rivalry ever since the events of Gem High.

Sigma The Mink
Tesla and Sigma met in Gem High: Year Two.

Koran The Timberwolf
''KORAN THE WOLF IS NOT ON THIS WIKI! SHE IS ONLY DEVIANT AND SHE BELONGS TO ROYAIIANT!''

Tesla and Koran fell in deep romance with each other. She is currently the love of Tesla's life.

Weaknesses
Tesla has a number of weaknesses.

Cold temperatures
Tesla's powers are weakened, almost useless in cold climates (like mountains, space, or snow).

Often breaks the fourth wall
Not really a weakness, but this is more of a habit Tesla does.

Hopelessly dumb
Tesla has an IQ of 83 on the Stanford-Binet scale, which is the borderline level of Patrick's stupidity.

Strengths
Despite the number of weaknesses Tesla has, he also has some good strengths.

Speed
Tesla can run as fast as 500 mph, thanks to electricity being (one of) the fastest-moving particle in the world.

Electric Tesla
This can only be accessed when Tesla is exposed to over 800,000 volts, or when basically struck by lightning. This form weakens as time passes by. His powers would be twice as powerful as it is in his normal form.

Inactivity form
This form is acquired when Tesla is asleep or dead. The stripes of his body stop glowing blue and turn dark gray, as well as his eyes. His powers are decreased by 85% in this form.
