The Lightning Wispon is a Wispon that is both themed after and utilizes the power of the Ivory Wisp.
History[]
The Imprisoned Planet[]
At some point in the past, the Ivory Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, as thanks for saving their race and planet, a bunch of Ivory Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular.[1] (StH: #3)
During the War[]
Near the end of the war, a town that served as a hub for Wispon distribution was saved from Badniks by the mercenary duo, Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk, who wielded a Burst Wispon and a Drill Wispon respectively. The two then offered to improve the town's defenses, but they winded up conquering the town. (StH: #3)
Fallout[]

When Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna entered the town that was conquered by Rough and Tumble, the two duos eventually battled. During their battle, Tumble attempted to use a Lightning Wispon, but thanks to Sonic's inspirational speech, the Ivory Wisp inside of it left the weapon and turned on Rough and Tumble, along with many other Wisps who left the Wispons that they were inside of. As a result, Sonic and Knuckles were victorious. (StH: #3)
Appearance[]
Modeled after the Ivory Wisp, the Lightning Wispon is an ivory and gold-colored Wispon shaped as a lightning bolt. It has a black barrel that attaches the lightning bolt-shaped piece to a white handle that allows the wielder to hold it in a comfortable grip. It also has a hole on the bottom of the lightning bolt-shaped piece that resembles the eye of the Ivory Wisp.
Abilities[]
The Lightning Wispon's signature function is its ability to hold Ivory Wisps inside it and harness their energies to power itself. Without an Ivory Wisp inside it, the Lightning Wispon is useless. When active, this Wispon can generate a whip of electricity.
Being built to clear out crowds of robots, the Lightning Wispons possess a widespread attack range.
Background Information[]
- The Lightning Wispon was based on the weapon of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, where it first appeared in Sonic Forces. It was unnamed in the comic, but its name is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.
