Just found out about the new reveals about Infinite, an enigmatic new villain in Sonic Forces. I knew the guy had to be powerful from the instant I saw him in the E3 villains trailer. But, faster and stronger than Sonic, with energy beams and levitation to boot? The guy almost sounds like a super form. That, and his theme song has lyrics that make him sound pretty darn evil. And powerful too, "I never end, and that's the difference in you and me" sounds especially ominous...
What do you think of him? My theory is that Infinite is yet another in the series of "super-monsters" that Eggman has tried recruiting, that eventually betray him. Dark Gaia, Chaos, the Deadly Six, etc. Something about him makes him seem like he might be the worst yet if that's the case... And on another note, why are Zavok, Shadow and Chaos on Eggman's side again? Alternate dimensional/split timeline equivalents perhaps? Or does Infinite have mind control powers too? (I mean, for Zavok he could've just found another conch but that leaves the question of the other two.)
One other thing, he obviously has some kind of super negative energy powering him if his aura is anything to go by... Think such energies would be capable of being enhanced by Chaos Emeralds? If so, and if Infinite managed to get them all, that would be pretty much Game Over. Or maybe he doesn't react well to Chaos Energy, but then again that was the Time Eater's weakness so I doubt they'd pull that card again. Whatever his power is though, during the trailer it seemed like Tails' equipment was having trouble reading his aura. And that's kind of scary considering Tails can make machines that identify and track Chaos Energy, which in and of itself tends to short out lesser electronics.
Whatever he is, he's not anything we've seen before.

I hope someday there's more magic in Minecraft, though I know it's not likely to happen. In the meantime, I play modded a lot. I enjoy a lot of other games too, so don't expect me to be on the forums all the time.
His character design is reminiscent of Mephiles (Sonic 2006), who... (spoilers)
...was part of the time-erasing Solaris boss.
The eyes especially cause me to suspect the two are somehow connected or similar (especially since time travel shenanigans are involved in Sonic Forces).

Mephiles left, Infinite right
They might wind up having somewhat similar abilities, but I doubt there's any direct connection considering(spoiler)
Firstly, how much of a failure that game was, and second, how the ending of that game basically cancelled the game's entire timeline and erased everything that happened from existence.

Actually, since we were talking about Infinite anyway, I have noticed a lot of people are having trouble understanding what the lyrics say at a certain point in the song. To be fair, I can't tell for sure if I'm correct or not in regards to this, but at the part where people are saying it says "only stars remain all through it all" or similar, I actually think it says "Only scars remain of who I was". This ties in perfectly with some odd fan theories about Infinite's origin too, so I thought I'd post it here since I don't have an account on Reddit where the discussion was going on.
