Multiverse Unity: Sonic and the Tomb Raider

Multiverse Unity: Sonic and the Tomb Raider (or simply Sonic and the Tomb Raider or Netflix's Sonic and the Tomb Raider) is an American English animated miniseries airing on Netflix, and a crossover between the video game franchises Sonic the Hedgehog by Sega and Tomb Raider by Crystal Dynamics. It is part of the Multiverse Unity franchise.

Premise
Having moved his way from San Francisco, USA to London, England, Sonic the Hedgehog earns a new human friend with Lara Croft, the teenage hereditary of the Croft Family who aspires to be a notorious archaeologist and treasure hunter like her late father Richard Croft before her. The two undergo a series of adventures around the world while discovering mystical relics and standing against Jacqueline Natla and Dr. Robotnik; both seeking to capture Sonic for his superhuman speed powers, overthrow Lara and take over the Croft Family's fortunes. Among other foes and threats, Sonic and Lara also have to deal with the manipulations of Larson Stone, who is masquerading as an associate for both Robotnik and Natla for his own malicious favors and purposes.

Characters
The characters and environment of the miniseries use remastered animation tone similar to the 2010-2012 animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!.

Main Characters

 * Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Robbie Daymond) - One of the two core protagonists. A 15-year-old anthropomorphic blue hedgehog from Mobius with superhuman speed powers who is secretly living a life on Earth, and is spending his days with Lara in the Croft Manor after relocating from San Francisco, USA, to London, England. Having lived a life on Earth since his childhood, Sonic has been travelling around numerous countries around the world (including Japan, Brazil, Spain, the USA, among others), and has visited the Golden Realm more than once before he met Lara.
 * Lara Croft (voiced by Melanie Minichino) - One of the two core protagonists. A 16-year-old wealthy English teenager and Wimbledon High School top student who aspires to be a notorious archaeologist and treasure hunter like her late father Richard Croft before her, and is friends and roommates with Sonic. While she still wields a pair of dual guns as her main weapons, the guns (to contrast the video games, where they fire lead bullets) fire Ring Bullets, golden bullets which transform into Mobian Rings with the capabilities of opening teleportation portals, immobilizing enemies, etc.

Supporting Characters

 * Gabriel (voiced by Eric Lopez) - An 17-year-old Brazilian teenager who was orphaned by the T-Rex King's assault against a Natla Corporation crew, and raised by the Golden Realm's tribe people. He has ever since grown up to become a skilled hunter. He is Lara's potential love interest.
 * Sally Acorn (voiced by Felicia Day) - An 14-year-old anthropomorphic female Mobian chipmunk, and Sonic's girlfriend. She is also a resident of the Golden Realm, where she and Tails established a secret base of science and technology to help the island's local tribe, and has a sisterly bond with Lara.
 * Lin Chang (voiced by Kelly Hu) - Lara's best friend and classmate, and a 16-year-old Japanese martial artist. She is also fond of Sonic, and has known him as "Aoi Samurai" (Japanese for "Blue Samurai") since his debut in Japan.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by Tara Strong) - Sonic's best friend in Mobius, and a 8-year-old twin-tailed anthropomorphic yellow fox who can fly by spinning his two tails. A scientific genius and inventor, and resident of the Golden Realm alongside Sally, he is one of the designers of Lara's Ring Guns (alongside Allister).
 * Zip (voiced by Zeno Robinson) - One of Lara's closest friends and a 17-year-old American Tech Expert.
 * Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Ogie Banks) - Sonic's rival-turned-friend, and a 16-year-old Mobian echidna from Angel Island who is the guardian of the Master Emerald.

 * Nicole the Holo-Lynx (voiced by Kari Wahlgren; in a English accent) - Sally's best friend and surrogate sister, and a Mobian artificial intelligence system allied to Sonic. Initially having no actual form of her own, she was able to create a complex holographically simulated body-based on that of a Mobian lynx projected from her hand-held thanks to a Power Ring.
 * WINSTON (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) - Lara's butler, and an A.I. system within the Croft Manor. The character is named after the Croft Family's butler Winston Smith in the Tomb Raider games.
 * Shadow the Hedgehog (voiced by Adam Baldwin) - An 50-year-old anthropomorphic black hedgehog who was created by Robotnik's grandfather Professor Gerald to be the "Ultimate Life Form", a lifeform capable of curing mortal beings from any disease. A immortal speedster of Sonic's level, he is part-time rival and part-time ally to Sonic, depending of his goals. While he is not close to Lara, her kindness for Sonic proves to be somewhat enough to remind Shadow of his deceased human friend and Professor Gerald's granddaughter Maria.
 * Mari "Cosmo" Corazon (voiced by Katie Leigh) - A 5-year-old Mexican orphan who (due to exposure to an strange alien seed) can communicate with and control plant life. She earned the nickname "Cosmo" due to her seed "having come from the stars". The character is an amalgam between Cosmo the Seedrian and Mari (a character from the Tomb Raider comics).
 * Tristan / "Chip" (voiced by Nadji Jeter) - Mari's plush winged Chihuahua which became a sentient toy after becoming the host of the spirit of Tristan, the son of Tikal and Tihocan with the abilities to flight, Photokinesis, immortality, telepathy and teleportation.

Antagonists

 * Larson Stone (voiced by David Kaye) - The show's overall primary antagonist. An enigmatic criminal who is masquerading as an ally for both Robotnik and Natla for his own favors and purposes, and is manipulating them both against each other. But his manipulative nature is no secret from Sonic and Lara, who had more than enough suspicions of him. The character is an amalgam of Larson (from Tomb Raider: Anniversary) and Agent Stone (from the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog movie).
 * Dr. Robotnik (voiced by Clancy Brown) - One of the show's primary antagonists. Sonic's arch-nemesis, and the corrupt CEO of Robotnik Industries, who obsesses with absolute power, and is rivals with Natla. Having been banished to the Mushroom Planet following Sonic's battle against him in San Francisco, Robotnik relocated his headquarters and company in there so he may continue plotting his schemes, and his revenge on Sonic.
 * Orbot (voiced by Kirk Thornton) and Cubot (voiced by Wally Wingert) - Robotnik's main robotic henchmen, Orbot (the red orb-shaped robot) is the blunter, more formal of the two, often being totally honest even at Eggman's expense. Cubot (the yellow cube-shaped robot) is the slower, more dimwitted of the two, often misunderstanding the meaning of other characters' statements and metaphors.
 * Jacqueline Natla (voiced by Nika Futterman) - One of the show's primary antagonists. The corrupt head of Natla Corporation who seeks to end the Croft legacy. She is also rivals with Robotnik. Natla also carries a terrifying secret associated with the legends of Atlantis, and Lara and her friends are the only ones who know. In "Love is a Game", it is revealed that Natla was once one of the three rulers of Atlantis, until she was banished by her brothers Tihocan and Qualopec, and forced to live forever as a mortal for her crimes, including her declaration of war against the Echidna Tribe in the Mystic Ruins.
 * Amanda Everett (voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris) - A 16-year-old American intern at Natla Corporation. She strongly dislikes Lara and her family, and sides with Natla to witness her downfall, but is unaware of her boss' true motives and nature, as Natla discreetly regards Amanda as "nothing more than a pawn in a game she does not know is being played".
 * James Rutland (voiced by Vincent Martella) - Amanda's 17-year-old lover and partner, and young criminal under Natla's employ.
 * Jerome "The Kid" Johnson (voiced by Sam Riegel) - The 20-year-old leader of an unnamed inner-city gang in Los Angeles, California, who secretly works for Natla. While he is loyal to Natla, he occasionally antagonizes Amanda, and holds personal grudges with Natla's bodyguard Kold Kin Kade, who was responsible for killing his most trusted gang members.
 * Kold Kin Kade (voiced by Dave Fennoy) - Natla's bodyguard, and a mutated former prison convict with brute strength and long stamina. He was responsible for killing Johnson's most trusted gang members.
 * Snively Kintobor (voiced by Steve Blum) - Robotnik's estranged nephew and former loyal assistant, who plans to usurp him in revenge of Robotnik's past abuse of him.
 * Regina Ferrum the Iron Queen (voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) - Snively's lover, and a rogue Atlantean witch with the ability to harness and manipulate metal. She seeks to usurp Natla in her position as CEO of Natla Corporation, and her plan to become the Queen of Atlantis.
 * The Deadly Six - A clan of ruthless Zeti from the Lost Hex organized by Master Zik and led by Zavok.
 * Zavok (voiced by Jonathan Adams) - The fearsome leader of the Deadly Six. He obsesses with stealing technology from both Robotnik and Natla, which he plans to use for a weapon to drain Earth and Mobius of their energies, and empower the Lost Hex.
 * Zenna (voiced by Cree Summer) - A fashion-savvy Zeti, and the only female member of the Deadly Six.
 * Zazz (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) - A hyperactive, but psychotic Zeti, and member of the Deadly Six.
 * Zor (voiced by Sam Riegel) - A existentially nihilist Zeti, and the youngest member of the Deadly Six.
 * Master Zik (voiced by Andrew Kishino) - The founder and former leader of the Deadly Six, and the oldest of the Zeti.
 * Zomom (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) - A obese and dim-witted Zeti with an eating disorder, and a member of the Deadly Six.
 * The Hybrid - A mindless, monstrous humanoid with attributes of Sonic and Lara. The Hybrid is created by the merging between Metal Sonic and the Doppelgänger, as a result of a side-effect of the clones' attempt to return to the Present time from the dystopian post-apocalyptic future (caused by Metal Sonic and the Doppelgänger in their attempt to recreate Robotnik's doomsday weapon) they were left stranded into after it is undone by Sonic and Lara.
 * Metal Sonic (voiced by Jim Meskimen) - A robotic clone of Sonic created by Robotnik to destroy him, until he rebelled against his creator and begun a crusade to overthrow Robotnik, and take over his technology. He and Lara's Doppelgänger later become the two halves of the Hybrid.
 * The Doppelgänger - Lara's identical clone, created by an Atlantean witch under Natla's secret orders for the purpose of framing her. However (due to a few deformities), the Doppelgänger ended up rebelling against her creators, and begun partnering with Metal Sonic with the purpose of revenge against their creators, although they still hate their templates. Her deformities also rendered the Doppelgänger mute, for which Metal Sonic occasionally speaks for her. She and Metal Sonic later become the two halves of the Hybrid.
 * TBD
 * The T-Rex King - A male grey-skinned Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Golden Realm, where he is considered the most feared predator. For many years, he has been terrorizing the inhabitants of the Golden Realm, and was considered impossible to defeat. His reign of terror eventually came to an end after he was defeated by Sonic and Lara, who managed to banish him to the Center of the Earth.
