Poll: Miles Prower

[Brad Shepard]

Hes a guy, they have said this for a good long time now

/trend.

 

[WorldCritic]

Male, and doesn't he always have an eight year old voice actor?

 

[thatcanadianguy]

Maybe your friend has secretly been searching for Tails under Rule 63.

Good lord, I found that stuff by accident. Never search for any sonic characters through google when safe-search is off. That is one thing me and my friend learned long ago, still dont know why the safe-search was off.

because rule 34 hates you

 

[Canid117]

He is just a very androgynous male. Don't they refer to him as "he" several times?

 

[fix-the-spade]

He's a Fox, so he's male.

He can also fly, so despite being a weedy little smeg he's still cooler than you, or me, or anyone else without built in aviatory skills.

 

[child of lileth]

Male, but only because Sega said so. Otherwise, I'd never believe it.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

First, how old this friend, because when I was 5 I thought Knuckles was a girl because in Sonic 3 he was kind of pink-ish. My sister looked it up for me on the internet to prove me wrong.

Older than five? Well, I can't believe he'd need this much convincing.

I think he's 19. He's a year behind me in college (university for the Brits on here)

I have vehemently avoided fan-"art" ever since.

OT answer to the first question: Male.
Answer to the second question: it's one of my guilty treasures.

34 dude 34

 

[Waif]

Miles is male, always has been. Don't know why some people think otherwise. Even in SatAM which was his first cartoon appearance he is described as male. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 states it outright in the manual o~O.

 

[Tony2077]

he's male been that way since the very beginning

 

[lwm3398]

He's called Tails. Don't give me any of that "Miles Prower" BS.

But in all seriousness, how could it not be male? Isn't he supposed to be Sonic's little brother?

 

[TailsRodrigez]

Okay, the poll is actually to help build my case against a friend who for some strange reason thinks that Tails from the Sonic the Hedgehog series is a female. Now I know for a fact that he's male, but my friend doesn't seem to listen. That's where you guys come in.

So, question time: What gender is Tails?

And for added discussion, does anyone here remember SatAM?

EDIT: As stated above, I know that Tails is male.

your friend is wrong, the only female from the original games was amy, and even then only CD.

 

[Amnestic]

How would a blue hedgehog be related to an orange two-tailed fox in any way, shape or form? :|

 

[Tony2077]

Uh...You mean rule 34?

(That's the porn one, right? Or is 63 some other bizarre internet rule? I don't know, I never understand you kids when you talk about your fancy newfangled internets.)

to be honest i know where a female version is but i won't say you'll have to find it on your own

 

[Bob_F_It]

Just to clear it up, Rule 63 does exist, and that is what it is.

 

[Mr.Monkey]

From the US Sonic 2 manual...

Miles "Tails" Prower, the fox, can't sit still when Sonic's around. Ever since Miles was a baby fox, he's dreamed of being like Sonic. He loves to run after Sonic, waving his two tails behind him, trying to keep up with his hero!

Spoiler

Mostly, Sonic lets him trail along. But sometimes, just to show off, Sonic explodes in a burst of super speed and leaves him behind. But Miles doesn't give up. He whirls his tails like a helicopter rotor and takes off flying until he catches up!

All the animals call Miles by his nickname, "Tails", because of his two special tails. And one day they saw an astonishing feat...

They were all together in the forest, watching Sonic perform. Sonic would run, spin and jump in his Super Spin Attack. Then "Tails" would whirl like a turbo engine and blast off in his Super Dash Attack. What a showoff!

Suddenly, "Tails" just couldn't help himself. He took a running start, curled up his tails, and - whoosh - he was spinning like Sonic!

But now something frightening is happening. Sonic's friends are disappearing. In their place, nasty metal robots are popping up all over the island. The mad scientist Dr. Robotnik is at it again!

This time, Robotnik's planning a global disaster. He needs workers to create a doomsday machine that can take over the world. So he's trapping all the animals, turning them into robots, and forcing them to build his ultimate weapon, the Death Egg!

Robotnik now rules the factories, refineries and cities! He's grabbed control of everything - except the 7 Chaos Emeralds. These magnificent gems are believed to hold exceptional powers. With them, Robotnik could have the entireworld in his grasp. And he'd never let go!

The Chaos Emeralds are buried somewhere on the island. Only one tough dude with spiky hair has the speed to find them first!

Help Sonic stop the devious scheme of the demented scientist! Spin like a speedball through space. Grab Power Sneakers and loop 'til you're dizzy. Twirl over twisting speedways and rocket through tunnels. Balance and blast across a bubbling ocean of oil!

Find the Emeralds, free the animals, and squash Robotnik forever!

From the Japanese Sonic 2 manual...

Miles Prower was a small kitsune, who sported two tails instead of one. For this reason, the animals of West Side Island nicknamed him "Tails". Miles was happy with his life, but after meeting Sonic his view changed. He made a decision to improve his skills, and so he began to hang around Sonic all day long.

Spoiler

One early afternoon, Miles discovered a superb plane resting on the beach; he rushed to get a closer look at it. The curving outline of the plane's sleek, streamlined body impressed him. It was just the kind of vehicle Miles liked. He strolled towards the front of the plane, admiring its impressive fuselage. He stopped as he saw Sonic asleep in the cockpit. He quickly scampered back to the rear, hoping not to wake him.

Suddenly, Miles saw a brief flash of light coming from the direction of the nearby woods. Without any further warning, rumbling explosions and columns of flame rose above the trees, scattering stones, leaves and branches in all directions. Miles watched in terror as the spectacle unfolded before his eyes. From within the burning red forest, an army of robots marched forth, cluttering the earth.

Miles watched, stunned, as the explosions continued. But even Miles in his fear did not realize the full scope of the situation. Sonic watched the burning forest with anger in his eyes. "Eggman..." Sonic breathed, remembering his arch-enemy with contempt. He jumped down onto the beach and gazed up at the wood beyond. Something was beginning. Having fainted for a few seconds, Miles collected himself and ran to catch up with Sonic.

"Da - Ha ha ha ha!!" The loud laughter echoed around the wood; Doctor Robotnik was nearby.

"Finally, my plan is underway! The Chaos Emeralds sleep somewhere on West Side Island, the Island of Illusion, so it will be easy to expel my adversary Sonic! Soon, my supreme weapon, The Death Egg, will be launched into space. Just you wait, Sonic, this time, THIS time I will gather the Chaos Emeralds, and with their power I will defeat you! Thus, I, Ivo Robotnik, shall become master of this world! Daa-HA HA HA!!"

The players are set. Here begins the adventure and emotion. Let's go!

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Despite the occasional conspiracy theory that Tails was originally a girl in the first place (and the loads of Rule 63 that can be found as well), Miles is indeed a guy and there is no debating it whatsoever.

snipperific

34 dude 34

snippin'

Uh...You mean rule 34?

No, he does mean Rule 63 (For every male character, there is a female version of said character), although I'm pretty sure there can be Rule 34 of Rule 63.

Because Sega said so. I think. That's why he was there, was my understanding, he was the brother of Sonic and thus his sidekick. And there's always adoption, dur.
