Personality
Sonic is a fighter that is easily consumed into battle. He gains pleasure from not only being involved in fights, but winning the fights at that.
Though he accepts that there are heroes and villains that are stronger than him, he refuses to be lower than him. He is a very determined man who will go out of his way to surpass others, including his rivals.
Despite his cold presence, he does have a side of compassion for others. Sometime after his first encounter with Saitama, he spent his time with a bear hunter named Frank, who grew a nice bound with him. Around this time, he also befriended a piglet which he later named Ino.
Story
Sonic was first hired by Mr. Monier as bodyguard, where he was assigned to defend him from a group called the Paradise Group. Sonic later encounters them, dispatching them with ease, including their leader, Hammerhead. Hammerhead managed to escape, however, and so Sonic began searching for him. Instead, he came across Saitama.
Despite Saitama's claims, Sonic believes that he's part of the Paradise Group and begins a battle with him. Despite his best efforts, however, Saitama was able to react at every movement of Sonic, easily catching him off guard. Their battle eventually ended, with Saitama accidentally ramming his fist into Sonic's testicles. Barely standing, Sonic declares that Saitama's next encounter with him will be his last, before taking off.
At some point, Sonic was arrested and sent to the prison but managed to escape, along with Puri Puri Prisoner. The two eventually reached to the city where they encountered the Deep Sea King.
