"Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no one look to the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed for those who witness the return of... Ixis Naugus!!!" ― Ixis Naugus
Summary
Ixis Naugus is a major antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
He is one of the last surviving members of the Order of Ixis, born from the fusion of three other wizards: Agunus, Nusgau, and Suguna. During his time as the Kingdom of Acorn's Royal Wizard, he helped instigate events that led to the Great War, and then fled to the Zone of Silence as a safe haven where he was trapped for many years until he managed to escape after the First Robotnik War. Naugus became an immediate enemy of Sonic the Hedgehog, who eventually trapped him inside the zone again until the Arachne released him once more. After being a prisoner in Dr. Eggman Mark 2's Egg Grape Chambers, Naugus lost his sanity and blindly served his order's founder, Mammoth Mogul, until his mind was restored by a Chaos Emerald from his apprentice, Geoffrey St. John. Following this, he plotted to retake the throne from the Acorn family and succeeded through manipulating the fears of New Mobotropolis' populace, who crowned him king, only to face further difficulties.

Ixis Wizards have access to the elements of Mobius and more, with Ixis Naugus himself having near-perfect mastery over this branch of Chaos Energy. This grants him: Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1. The Ixis Magicks are a subset that is derives from standard Chaos Energy, and should still retain this property due to drawing from it) and Energy Manipulation (Through harnessing the Ixis Magicks), Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Through destroying beings and spaces that reside in a higher dimension, like Mammoth Mogul had done to The Ancient Walkers with a simple beam), Regeneration (Mid-High. Ixis Magicks allows their wielders to regenerate from being dispersed as smoke), Elemental Manipulation (Ixis Magicks are, as their namesake suggests, magical techniques invented by Mammoth Mogul), Air Manipulation (Can utilize gusts of winds and contained vortexes to blow others off of their feet), Darkness/Shadow Manipulation (Shadow-melding is an ability that allows Naugus to appear anywhere he desires when doing so), Earth Manipulation (Ixis can easily manipulate rocks and underground material for things such as creating and closing passageways or forming walls of granite as a means of defense), Fire Manipulation (The power of fire and brimstone can be used for offensive capabilities through blasts and combusting the air or defensive measures by a person turning themselves into scorching flames), Ice Manipulation (The applications of ice range from turning the area into a frozen wasteland to freezing a being on the spot), Smoke Manipulation and Elemental Intangibility (Repeatedly shown the capability of turning into and having a corresponding, intangible makeup to smoke), Water Manipulation (The element of water allows Naugus to use it for shields and other different applications), and Weather Manipulation (Naugus is capable of summoning snowstorms that are thick and powerful enough to produce whiteouts).
Transmutation (Through Crystalline Magic, which can turn nonliving material into green crystal that is especially efficient against cybernetics and robotic opponents)
Same as before but on an unfathomably higher scale and all the abilities shown from the Power Rings due to being powered by an extremely large quantity of them and should grant him the following: Reality Warping, Power Bestowal (Can provide as an energy source to various machinery and grant protection from abilities), Statistics Amplification (The more Power Rings a person has, the greater their strength is amplified), Wish Granting, Clairvoyance (Power Rings are capable of bestowing knowledge), Healing and Resurrection (A Power Ring enabled Sonic to revive his father), Age Manipulation (Allowed Amy Rose to increase her age by several years), and Dimensional BFR (Power Rings have the capability of sending the desired target to any place that the wielder chooses). His state as Ugly Naugus is akin to an enhanced Super Form, which naturally grants the following abilities: Aura (Those with Chaos Energy can enclose themselves in auras of the mystical force that allow them to barge into or through enemies and attacks without being physically affected), True Flight and Spaceflight, Acausality (Type 4), Self-Sustenance (Type 3), Intangibility (Super Forms can render themselves intangible), Invulnerability, Non-Physical Interaction, and Causality Manipulation (Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver's attacks struck and damaged Solaris throughout all points in time)
Those who can enter a Super State receive up to High-Tier Resistances offered by Chaos Energy, which grants the following Resistances: Corruption (Type 2. The Iron Queen could only corrupt Monkey Khan after the Power Ring was taken off), Mind Manipulation (A Power Ring can restore or block out manipulation to the mind), Soul Manipulation (The energy of Power Rings prevented Mogul's disembodied spirit from "dissipating into the immaterial"), Speed Reduction (The energy of three Power Rings restored Sonic's lost speed), Extrasensory Perception (Enough Power Rings on each arm had allowed users to evade Master Mogul's visualization of reality), Biological Manipulation and Transmutation (The Death Egg Mark 2's Power Ring matrix rendered it immune to the Crystalline Magic of Ixis Naugus. The energy of a single Chaos Emerald later reverted Bunnie's Roboticized limbs back to normal, and reverted mutations, Life Force Absorption, Mind Erasure and Soul Erasure, Madness Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Power Nullification, and Poison Manipulation (Both Mammoth Mogul and Enerjak were subjected to Egg Grape chambers and resisted their effects without lasting repercussions, the latter due to the power of a Chaos Emerald. The Egg Grape chambers erases the victim's mind and soul, infuses them with toxins, and saps them of their energy, with even the briefest exposure to them causing severe dips in mental capability and driving Naugus to insanity), Magic (Enerjak's magic merely annoyed Super Sonic), Electricity Manipulation (The Thunder Arrow technique done by Enerjak was shrugged off by Super Sonic), Paralysis Inducement (Silver's psychokinetic grasp was effortlessly broken the very moment Super Scourge tried to do so), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1), Law Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, and Reality Warping (Super Sonic and Super Armor Mega Man were unaffected by these things when the Super Genesis Wave activated during their battle)
