Nah, that's not possible. The Freedom Fighters are clearly a rouge group that only own themselves, otherwise the word Freedom wouldn't be in the name. Whoever you've been arguing with on a daily basis might have this one Cy Dra. They came pretty close with the whole Eggman vs Robotnik theory.
Oh, well I do agree with you. I figured Archie was pretty much owned under Sega, since they have the rights to make stuff about Sonic. Not literal, but under partnership.
