Jackal Squad (TV series)

Jackal Squad (also called Sega's Jackal Squad and Jackal Squad: A Sonic the Hedgehog Tale) is an American adult computer animated TV miniseries set in James Cameron's Sonic Cinematic Universe, airing on HBO Max. The series is the first and only R-Rated product within the franchise due to its darker, more mature content.

Premise
Set 10 years before the events of Silver and Blaze, the show follows the origins of Infinite's former mercenary group the Jackal Squad, and centers around a group of the Squad's renegade members as they seek to claim their own bounties against their leader's orders and approval.

A crew of jackals and renegade members of the Jackal Squad who seek to collect bounties by their own terms against Zero's orders and approval.
 * Talon (voiced by Jerry O'Connell), the leader of the Rogues who objects to Zero's leadership, and the Squad's code.
 * Ada (voiced by Karen Gillan), the Rogues' only female member. She is the tech expert, and the most intellectual of the crew. She holds a grudge with Zero's Jackal Squad group after Neon "mercy-killed" Ada's partner without hesitation and remorse, and left Ada to grieve alone.

 * Dynamo (voiced by Stephen Amell), a member of the crew with cybernetic implants. He is Talon's crew after being freed from Captain Whisker's crew, who roboticized him and enslaved him for their own purposes.
 * Butch (voiced by Christopher Judge), a member of the Rogues with superhuman strength, and a tattooed body. He is the crew's muscle.
