Sonic the Hedgehog 14 is the fourteenth issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. It was released in September 1994.

This comic features three stories: Tails' Taste of Power, "Do-It-Yourself" Sonic, and Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Tails' Taste of Power

In a greenhouse, Sonic is trapped in the vines of a sentient plant. Tails, noticing him in trouble, flies over to save him. As he arrives, Sonic is kissed by the plant, a passion flower, and tells Tails he's fine. He gets released from the plant's grasp and asks Tails if he wants to take over something for him. Tails responds preemptively, thinking he wants him to take over as leader of the Freedom Fighters, but rather he wants him to finish watering the plants in the greenhouse. Sonic leaves the area, leaving a hungry Tails sulking while he waters the plants. Looking up, he notices one of the plants is bearing fruit.

Later, Sonic leads Rotor Walrus to the greenhouse, telling him he left Tails to water the plants. They enter as they see that all the plants in the greenhouse have grown significantly, which Tails takes the responsibility for. He tells them that he created a new plant food, while stating a complex mathematical equation that leave Sonic and Rotor confused. While Sonic tries to leave, Rotor asks Tails how he knew so much about plants. He holds up the remaining core of the fruit he saw and ate earlier, saying he came up with the equation while eating it. Rotor panics and runs over to the Mobian tree of wisdom he was growing, which had the only apple he could ever grow on it that Tails ate. Rotor, having nurtured it for quite some time, comes to the conclusion that, by eating the apple, Tails has become a genius.

After coming up with this conclusion, Antoine runs into the greenhouse in a panic. While out on a scouting mission with Sally and Bunnie Rabbot in the high weeds, they were ambushed by Dr. Robotnik's Shredbot. Sonic runs out to help them.

In the high weeds, the Shredbot (a giant walking robot with arms with saws) is chasing down Sally and Bunnie. Sally becomes exhausted, but just as she and Bunnie stop, Sonic arrives to save the day. Before he can start his work, Tails flies in, saying he'll take care of the robot instead. He taunts the Shredbot by flying infront of it. It brings its saws toward him to take him out, but with quick thinking, flies away, causing the saws to rip into eachother. He comes down to the others, while Sonic is curious how Tails was able to move so fast. Tails explains so in a long description that nearly knocks Sonic out of the panel. A confused Sally asks Tails what he means, to which Tails replies that he is the obvious replacement for leader of the Freedom Fighters. He takes off, ordering the rest to join him.

Back in Knothole Village, Rotor announces that one of Robotnik's creations has entered the base and is trying to capture him: a humanoid robot with vacuums for hands. Sonic goes to destroy it by doing a Sonic Spin, but rebounds off of it. Tails walks over and tells him that the robot is his own creation, the Vacubot, and that Sonic can't destroy it, nor can Robotnik detect it. With some excess metal, Tails also made a medal for himself with the number '1' on it to show off his leadership. Sally walks over, trying to convince Tails that leadership isn't just about being smart, but about being courageous and to have experience. Ignoring Sally, he decides to convince the rest that he is a leader by taking down Robotnik himself.
