Template:QuoteTemplate:CharacterTemplate:Nihongo is a fictional, anthropomorphic black hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series and the arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog. He was created as the Template:Nihongo by Gerald Robotnik, using the blood of Black Doom, and is the end result of Project Shadow. His purpose was to provide ways of developing cures for the deadly ill, namely for Gerald's granddaughter Maria Robotnik, but he was captured and put into stasis by the military when he was deemed a threat to humanity. Fifty years later, Shadow was released by Dr. Eggman to help him conquer the world. Initially, Shadow sought to destroy the Earth to avenge Maria, who had been killed by the military, but was persuaded to help save it from Gerald's doomsday plans. In the process Shadow lost his memories and went on a quest to uncover his past, which brought him into contact with the Black Arms. Shadow succeeded in thwarting Black Doom and saved the world from the Black Arms. From there, Shadow continued his mission to protect humanity by becoming a member of G.U.N.
In contrast to Sonic, Shadow is typically a renegade who can as easily serve the forces of evil as those of good. He is cold, sharp-witted, seemingly always on the edge, and has a strong sense of purpose, willing to accomplish his goals by any means necessary. Essentially a dark incarnation of Sonic, Shadow can match Sonic in both speed and abilities, and possesses the ability to use Chaos Control.
According to an official poll, Shadow is the second most popular character in the series, behind Sonic.[1]
Concept and CreationEdit
After the success of Sonic Adventure, it was only natural to assume that a sequel would be produced. Hoping that the game would be for the Dreamcast what Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was for the Mega Drive, a portion of the team responsible for the first Adventure title was sent off to work at Sega of America. It was led by director Takashi Iizuka, while Yuji Naka remained back in Japan to work on other properties, including Phantasy Star Online. With the team in place, brainstorming soon began on what form Sonic Adventure 2 would take.
Early on, it was decided that one of the main themes of the game would be the dichotomy between good and evil, and to help explore that, the creators came up with new characters that would both assist Dr. Eggman and challenge the established cast of heroes. Though Yuji Uekawa was tasked drawing the final design of the character, it was Takashi Iizuka who conceived Shadow,[2] coming up with the idea to use a dark, anti-hero figure who was similar to Sonic in shape, but not in personality.
When being designed, the character's original name was 'Terios,' which translates to 'reflection of,' more than likely to play off of the hero/villain dynamic within the game.
Once Sonic Adventure 2 was announced, the identity and nature of Shadow was a heavily-guarded secret. The character was first shown to the public the first game trailer for Sonic Adventure 2; however, his name was not revealed. GameStop described what little was shown as Anti-Sonic - similar in appearance, but with darker skin, more angled eyes, and a fearsome scowl instead of Sonic's trademark grin.'[3] Indeed, the push to build hype for the new character put other characters on the back burner.
When Shadow seemingly died in Sonic Adventure 2, there rose a huge fanbase for Shadow to appear in more games, after being disappointed by his 'death'. This let Takashi Iizuka input Shadow as a playable character in Sonic Heroes and even star in his own game, Shadow the Hedgehog.[4] In fact, Takashi Iizuka said that they maintained the mystery around the character of Shadow the Hedgehog and had wanted to feature him in his own game since he was introduced.[5] For the Shadow the Hedgehog game, after feeling that it would be inappropriate to give Sonic's character a gun as fans had requested in mailings,[6] Yuji Naka believed that by focusing on Shadow for his own game, they could use his different identity from Sonic to build upon the Sonic brand.[7]
HistoryEdit
Sonic Adventure 2Edit
Shadow debuted in the game Sonic Adventure 2 as one of three playable 'dark' characters, alongside Rouge the Bat (who also debuted in this game), and Doctor Eggman. Dr. Eggman set Shadow free from a G.U.N. base on Prison Island, where he had spent approximately 50 years in suspended animation. In exchange, Shadow agreed to aid the doctor in his plans to take over the world; holding to himself his true intentions as wishing to get revenge for the death of his friend, Maria Robotnik, as he thought she wanted; it is strongly implied that his belief that Maria's final wish was revenge against humanity stemmed from Gerald Robotnik modifying Shadow's memories between Maria's death and Shadow's encapsulation. To achieve this, Shadow revealed the Eclipse Cannon to Dr. Eggman, who later destroyed half of the moon in a demonstration to the populace. Beforehand, he also stole the green Chaos Emerald from a bank, unknowingly also framing Sonic the Hedgehog for the deed.
He later participated in the second heist alongside Dr. Eggman and Rouge the Bat against Prison Island, where he would plant explosives throughout the island as part of their getaway, although his resemblance to Sonic also resulted in Amy Rose mistaking him for the latter. However, because Tails came to Amy's rescue from Dr. Eggman, he was forced to act fast due to the unexpected delay. In addition, after Rouge ended up getting caught and stranded in the containment area while recovering the four Chaos Emeralds, Shadow, largely because he realized that his plans of avenging Maria Robotnik would be for naught if Rouge perished in the explosion, rushed to get to Rouge and by extension the Chaos Emeralds.
After meeting Sonic for a second time, Shadow also believed that Sonic was trying to copy him. They fought to a stalemate before Shadow was forced to leave to rescue Rouge (with Sonic also learning from Eggman via Shadow's radio that the island was about to blow up), and just barely arrived at Rouge's location and used Chaos Control to warp himself, Rouge, the four Chaos Emeralds and presumably Eggman out at the last possible second. After the demonstration, needing the final Chaos Emerald to fulfill their plans, Shadow pursued Tails' plane at a canyon. Although he was unable to stop them, he nonetheless reported to Eggman that they are headed his way. When Eggman discovered the presence of two apparent emerald readings, and thus deduced Tails' plan of placing a fake Chaos Emerald into the cannon, Shadow departed, apparently to confront Sonic and Tails to stop them for interfering, although Eggman stopped him, wanting to deal with them personally. After Sonic was seemingly killed by Dr. Eggman via a rigged escape capsule, Shadow, witnessing the explosion, guessed that Sonic was only an ordinary hedgehog.
Afterwards, Shadow stumbled upon Rouge's plan to steal the Chaos Emeralds, and deduced that she was in fact a spy for the President of the United Federations, although Rouge then unveiled a report from Gerald Robotnik regarding the Biolizard, claiming, it, not Shadow, was the actual Shadow. However, Shadow was forced to depart after Eggman mentioned an anonymous figure (Sonic) heading towards the Eclipse Cannon, although not before stating that he's still Shadow despite his memories possibly being fake, and that 'the fake emerald is good enough for Rouge.' He then discovers Sonic the Hedgehog at the area. Shadow, impressed at Sonic's capability of using Chaos Control despite using a fake Chaos Emerald, nonetheless stated that he cannot allow him to live before fighting on a collapsing bridgeway. In the last story, Eggman inserted the final Chaos Emerald, only to initiate a destabilization program on the ARK. Professor Gerald Robotnik then revealed that he had made this function to have revenge for Maria, and that the ARK would destroy the Earth. Sonic, Eggman, Rouge, Tails and Knuckles took a shortcut to the cannon's core so they could stop the Professor's mad plan. Amy Rose then helped Shadow realize Maria's true wish. In a twist of fate, Shadow ultimately aided Sonic when realizing, with Amy's help, Maria's true wish, which was to save humanity. Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles had reached the central core, where they reactivated the Biolizard. Notably, a scene from Gerald Robotnik's diary appeared again. After Shadow defeated the Biolizard, Knuckles used the Master Emerald to stop the Chaos Emeralds. But the Biolizard, being the prototype of Project Shadow, used Chaos Control to fuse with the ARK, continuing its fall. Then, Sonic and Shadow, in their SuperStates, destroyed the Biolizard. The Ultimate Lifeform prototype became a monster, codenamed Finalhazard. Using their powers, Shadow and Sonic defeated him and executed an enhanced Chaos Control which stopped the fall and warped the ARK. Afterward, Shadow fell to the Earth and was presumed dead.
Sonic HeroesEdit
In Sonic Heroes, Rouge discovers Shadow in a stasis tube located in the deepest part of one of Dr. Eggman's bases, after he was believed to be dead. As she activates the capsule, E-123 Omega begins to attack the newly awakened Shadow, believing him to be a creation of Eggman. Rouge steps in to break them up, quickly ending the skirmish. Shadow discovers that he has amnesia and cannot remember anything before his release, aside from his name and brief images of Maria Robotnik's death. He joins forces with Rouge the Bat and the robot, E-123 Omega, to form Team Dark and find Eggman. In large part because of his amnesia, he also doesn't remember Sonic the Hedgehog when they encountered each other, and thus believed Sonic to be copying him. When confronting the Egg Fleet, Rouge's remark about their being close to the edge of outer space unlocked a part of Shadow's memories. It is later revealed that Eggman had made robotic android versions of Shadow, and the question is raised as to whether or not Shadow himself is one of these androids. Shadow himself also briefly bore witness to a broken Shadow Android earlier, shortly after Team Dark destroyed the Egg Albatross. When rendezvousing with Rouge shortly afterwards, Shadow remarked that some things 'never change' when Rouge considered stealing the Master Emerald again due to Knuckles' presence. Ultimately, when Metal Sonic transformed into Metal Overlord, Shadow worked with everyone else to help defeat him. Shadow is last seen with E-123 Omega holding the defeated Metal Sonic.
Sonic BattleEdit
In Sonic Battle, Rouge the Bat saves Shadow while they are investigating Dr. Eggman's secret base and takes him back to her home. Shadow talks about how the people of Earth must destroy him and Emerl if they ever want peace, still believing that he is a weapon. It is revealed, however, that he ultimately has the heart and soul of Maria Robotnik, implying he could not be the enemy of humanity. However, Gerald Robotnik's journal entries in this game contradicts truths found in Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog.
Shadow the HedgehogEdit
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is revealed to be the dual creation of the evil alien overlord Black Doom and Professor Gerald Robotnik. Gerald could not finish the project on his own, so he contacted the Black Comet and used Black Doom's blood and his DNA to create Shadow. Shadow eventually gathers all of the Chaos Emeralds, which Black Doom takes and uses to warp the Black Comet to Earth. Shadow regains the Chaos Emeralds and transforms into Super Shadow to confront Devil Doom, Black Doom's powered-up form. It is worth noting that, if the battle timer passes seven minutes, Eggman reveals to Shadow that he sent one of his robots to save him after the incident in Sonic Adventure 2, and that he is the actual Shadow and not a Shadow Android. After the fight, Shadow destroys the Black Comet with the Eclipse Cannon. In the end, Shadow puts his past behind him and chooses to move forward.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)Edit
In the 2006 game entitled 'SONIC THE HEDGEHOG', Shadow is a playable character and has his own storyline. Shadow has a new enemy called Mephiles the dark. In this game, his will intertwines with those of Sonic and a new character, Silver the Hedgehog. In this role, Shadow, now a GUN agent, is dispatched to Dr. Eggman's base at White Acropolis to rescue their agent (Rouge), who was last contacted conducted 26 hours prior. After storming the base and taking out the robots in the outer perimeter, he started the mission upon being briefed. However, by the time he arrived at the main gate, he encountered Rouge who at the same time opened the gate, to which he explained to a surprised Rouge that he had orders directly from the President to rescue her. Afterwards, when asked by Rouge whether he wanted to know what she was sent to retrieve, Shadow dismissed it, as he was only sent to rescue her, but then they were ambushed by several Eggman Robots, including the Egg Cerberus.
Shadow later was transported from Eggman's base to Soleanna, and upon learning some details about the location, was requested by Rouge to escort her to the GUN rendezvous point located at Soleanna Castle at Kingdom Valley. Upon arrival, he also learned the history of Kingdom Valley, including the Solaris Project. However, they were ambushed by Eggman's forces. He and Rouge encountered the new villain, Mephiles the Dark, when the Scepter of Darkness falls and shatters (as Shadow rescued Rouge from freefall when she and the scepter were knocked away by Eggman). Mephiles was sealed inside the Scepter of Darkness and was subsequently released with the relic's destruction, adopting Shadow's appearance due to absorbing his shadow. Shadow and Rouge is sent to the future as part of Mephiles' 'one way ticket to oblivion,' and shortly after their discovery, encountered Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, who had themselves been transported to the future. Shadow then told Sonic that the only way to return to the present is to find two Chaos Emeralds and then perform Chaos Control on each other. Shadow and Rouge then found a Green Chaos emerald, but then discovered Omega's husk. Shadow then discovers that Omega's on standby mode. As they are unable to do a thing for him, Shadow and Rouge reluctantly leave Omega behind. They then rendezvous with Sonic's group. Upon discovering that another Chaos Emerald was near the volcano, Shadow and Sonic proposed to locate it. Upon finding the Chaos Emerald, they then fought Iblis, a fiery monster within the volcano. After dispatching of the monster, Shadow then proceeded to use Chaos Control with Sonic, opening a time hole to their present. Before Shadow could rejoin Rouge and the others, he noticed Mephiles' presence nearby and pursued him. He then found Mephiles on a volcanic platform and questioned the demon whether he was responsible for the world's destruction. Mephiles then revealed that in the aftermath of Iblis' destruction of the world, Shadow had been labelled as the enemy of mankind, due to his perceived role in the disaster and due to their fear of his power. However, despite the shock of this revelation, Shadow refused to join Mephiles, informing him that he 'controlled his own destiny.' He then fought Mephiles to a stalemate, with Mephiles preparing to finish Shadow off when Omega intervened (having been earlier dispatched by Rouge to undergo the directive that he and Rouge witnessed earlier), and aided Shadow in defeating Mephiles. They then proceeded to pursue Mephiles, but he escaped from their presence.
He then tried to search for Rouge near the warehouse docks due to her disappearing from GUN's contact. After briefly talking to her, he then left, determined to find Dr. Eggman and find out who Mephiles was (as Eggman's robots were hunting Mephiles down and mistook Shadow for him). Upon meeting the doctor, Shadow learned a vital clue to Mephiles' possible origins: that it pertained to the accident during the Solaris Project, and was offered more information on the project in exchange for capturing Mephiles. Shadow later interfered with Silver's ambush of Sonic and fought him. Due largely to his use of Chaos Control, he managed to overpower Silver. However, when Silver's use of Chaos Control interfered with his, he informed Silver (who had been trying to kill Sonic to prevent his bad future from occurring due to Mephiles' suggestions) that Mephiles had in fact been trying to eliminate the past, and beckoned that he accompany him to the past if they are to discover the truth of what happened ten years prior. Shadow then entered the area just as the accident occurred, and checked on the Duke's body, although he soon witnessed the birth of both Iblis and Solaris. Shadow then pursued Mephiles, although not before being handed by the Scepter of Darkness by the Duke to seal Mephiles, while Silver went after Iblis, rendezvousing briefly to get by a switch in their paths. Shadow then proceeded to use Chaos Control when cornering Mephiles, and then sealed him in the scepter, although not before the latter threatened that he will die in the future. He then returned to the future, informing Silver that he's leaving the scepter behind because he already knows its fate.
He then requested that Rouge contact GUN to see what the scepter was made out of, hoping to recreate it. However, as GUN was unable to find anything in the database regarding the scepter, they instead had to find someone with archaeological knowledge on the object. They then rescued an archaeologist, who informed them that it would appear at a priests fountain by lighting black flames, which Shadow accomplished via his Chaos powers. He then rendezvoused with Omega upon learning that the latter had cornered Mephiles. By the time he and Rouge arrived, however, Shadow discovered that Omega had furiously driven Mephiles off. Omega then admitted that Shadow, in the future, is sealed away by the reprogrammed Omega, and explained to Rouge why he did so. Shadow then returned to Soleanna, also taking out several of Iblis's and Mephiles' henchmen that had invaded the city from the desert. In gratitude, Lord Regis, acting under temporary authority after Eggman had kidnapped Elise a third time, opened the way to the desert. Deducing that Mephiles needed at least one Chaos Emerald to reform with Iblis into Solaris and devour time, Shadow headed to some ruins that Mephiles was headed to, most likely because a Chaos Emerald was nearby. However, he found Mephiles getting the Emerald in the ruins' inner sanctum. When asked once more to join Mephiles, Shadow exposed what Mephiles' true plans were, to which they then fought in an intense battle.
Although Shadow, Rouge and Omega ultimately won, Shadow's attempt to seal him failed due to Mephiles time traveling to his encapsulation and absorbing Shadow's power via his Shadow, alongside his gaining a Chaos Emerald. Undeterred, Shadow, upon declaring to the newly created Mephiles clones that he will fight as he always had even if the world declares him to be his enemy, and proceeded, alongside his allies, to mow through the Mephiles clones with his full power backing him. Ultimately it was for naught, as Mephiles nonetheless gained hold of the seven Chaos Emeralds (an event Shadow briefly witnessed immediately after slaughtering the clones when the yellow and green Chaos Emeralds glowed intensely) and merges with Iblis, becoming Solaris. Shadow also discovered that Mephiles had killed Sonic to ensure Iblis' release (due to her sealment of Iblis inside of her weakening due to crying), and then proceeded to find the Chaos Emeralds to revive Sonic. Afterwards, with Super Sonic's help, he turns into Super Shadow and joins him along with Super Silver to defeat Solaris. The events of the game are then erased and do not occur, possibly leaving his future open.
Sonic Rivals seriesEdit
Sonic RivalsEdit
Shadow appears in Sonic Rivals as a playable character, alongside Sonic, Knuckles, Silver and Metal Sonic. Summoned to a strange island by Dr. Eggman via a cryptic transmission asking for his aid, Shadow is able to successfully locate Eggman, but once he mentions the cryptic message to the doctor, Eggman denies it. The mystery continues to unfold itself as Rouge warns him of an impending danger and upon stumbling across a secret about Eggman, her transmission is cut short. Shadow continues his quest to uncover the truth about Dr. Eggman.
Upon encountering him several times, Eggman admits that he is Doctor Eggman Nega who plans to take a picture of the entire world (and trapping it in a card) within his camera. The real Doctor Eggman is eventually rescued who escorts him to Nega's space station to stop Nega's ultimatum. Along the way, he is assisted by Silver and Sonic. After defeating Eggman Nega, Rouge is finally rescued. Shadow also appears on four of the 150 collectible cards in the game.
Sonic Rivals 2Edit
Shadow also appears in the sequel to Sonic Rivals, Sonic Rivals 2. He is confronted by Metal Sonic and Eggman via a speaker in Metal Sonic, and tells him that he needs help. Before he can ask questions, he and Metal Sonic find Espio and Silver. Curious as to why Silver has returned to the present, Shadow begins to follow Silver while Metal Sonic follows Espio. Eventually, Shadow forgets to ask the Doctor why he is helping him and just continues to work with Metal Sonic. Shadow discovers that Eggman Nega is trying to release the Ifrit with the seven Chaos Emeralds. He enters the Chaotic Inferno Zone to press a switch inside the dimension to seal the Ifrit in its own dimension and after engaging it in a battle, he and Metal Sonic proved to be victorious but they are trapped in the process. Metal Sonic tears himself open to reveal a Chaos Emerald, and Shadow Chaos Controls them back to their own dimension.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark BrotherhoodEdit
Shadow appears in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. He is searching for Omega, who disappeared looking for Eggman's robots. The first fight against Shadow takes place in Mystic Ruins, though, depending on the player's choice of dialogue, Sonic may not have to fight him. If, however, the player chooses the more hostile dialogue options, Sonic will have to fight Shadow. The second encounter happens when the team reaches Blue Ridge Zone. At the start of the battle, Shadow states that while he can't outrun Sonic, he can outfight him. After suffering damage at the hands of Sonic and his team, Shadow flees from the scene. Sonic is the only one fast enough to catch him, so once Sonic catches up, the two have a showdown without the rest of the group. When Sonic ultimately wins, Shadow remarks that Sonic 'has been practicing.'
At first, Shadow only joins Sonic's team to help find Omega, but when he finds out that Omega was attacked by the Nocturnus, he remains with the party to help defeat them. If Shadow happens to be included in Sonic's team when they are about to face Commander Raxos, Shadow states that he can see many ways out this situation for himself but not for the others, possibly meaning he could simply use Chaos Control to escape leaving the others to their fate. In combat, Shadow deals medium attack power and has medium armor and is as quick as Sonic, allowing him three attacks per round.
When Omega joins the team, they can work together to use 'Focus Field.' When Rouge the Bat is in the party, the three can use 'Metal Storm,' which sends Omega through the air like a missile at the enemy. Shadow can team up with Sonic to use a move called 'Atomic Strike,' in which the two hedgehogs use spin-dashes to circle around all of the enemies to create an electrical field.
Sonic Free RidersEdit
Shadow has recently appeared in Sonic Free Riders with Rouge the Bat. The two enter the competition late as 'Team Dark', but are one member short. They quickly decide to use a seemingly-random robot as their third member and face off against the Babylon Rogues, Team Rose, and Team Sonic. In Team Dark's story, they win the competition and intend to sneak away with the treasure and cash prize. But they are informed by Omochao that the jewels they had taken were fake and, much to their dismay, they would have to attend the closing ceremonies to receive the actual treasures. This is the only time Shadow has appeared in a game with the intent on desiring for money and treasure, rather than his usual ulterior motives. However, it says in the game manual that Shadow joined to see if his Extreme Gear skills were better than Sonic's.
Sonic Colors (DS)Edit
He can also be found in the DS version of Sonic Colors as a non-playable character, making sure Sonic would be able to take on Eggman. He also discovers that Dr. Eggman's 'giant wisp' had escaped.
Sonic GenerationsEdit
Shadow appears as a rival boss in the game Sonic Generations. Like all the other characters in the game, Shadow is sucked into the White Space by the Time Eater. After completing all acts in the Dreamcast era, Shadow can be found in the City Escape hub. When found, he is waiting for Sonic, stating that he neither knows nor cares where they are, as long as he gets a chance to finish Sonic. He is fought in Final Rush. He has a unique rival battle, where the two have to race each other on a looped pathway to and gain power cores to unleash special attacks. The battle is won when one depletes the other's ring count whilst using a special attack.
Shadow appears later on in the Center of Time, motivating both Sonics, alongside Rouge and the all the other characters after their initial defeat. After the Time Eater is defeated, Shadow shows up at Sonic's birthday party along with all the other characters.He does not wave goodbye to Classics Sonic and Tails in the end.

Despite being Shadow's parallel, Lancelot still shows the ability to use Chaos Control with his swordplay. This is most prominent in the optional rematch with Lancelot, where he uses Chaos Blast, Chaos Control, and Chaos Spear. When in combat against Lancelot's stronger potential, the player must not only land many hits, but time them closely or risk fierce damage.

Appearances in Other MediaEdit
Archie ComicsEdit
- Main article: Shadow the Hedgehog (Archie)
Shadow appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs, published by Archie Comics. His backstory is similar to that of the games, having been created by Gerald Robotnik by means of Black Doom's blood. After the events of the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation, Shadow was rescued by the Bem aliens in order to help fight the Xorda, and became integral in defending against the Xorda Attack on Mobius.
Shadow served Eggman for a time, and was an occasional ally of the Freedom Fighters, before eventually joining G.U.N. His relationship with Sonic the Hedgehog is less tense in this continuity. The two have willingly helped each other on several occasions, and Rouge has suggested that the only reason Shadow doesn't admit that Sonic is his friend is because it would be 'far too scandalous'.
Sonic XEdit
- Main article: Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic X)
Shadow also appears on the anime Sonic X, debuting in the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation from episodes 33 to 38. His appearance was very faithful to that of the games, with a few differences; for example, it was Chris Thorndyke who convinced Shadow of his true promise from Maria, not Amy. As in the game, he appeared to have died in the battle against Biolizard, but eventually reappeared in episode 60, 'The Return of Shadow'. Also as in the games, Shadow seems to be stricken by amnesia following his return and while he has an image of Maria in his mind, he cannot seem to work out who she really was.
In season 3, following his return, Shadow encounters a girl named Molly who reminds him of Maria. In the Japanese and French versions of the series, Molly is killed when the Metarex fire lasers at her plane and Shadow constructs a grave for her, but in the English dub her death is cut out. Instead they say that she left the planet.
At the end of season 3, Shadow had become Super Shadow and teamed up with Super Sonic to defeat the Final Nova, who intended to destroy the universe. After Cosmo had fused with the Final Nova, Shadow punched Sonic in the stomach rendering him unconscious. Shadow then used Chaos Control to send the detonating planet far away. It then burst into millions of Planet Eggs and Shadow was never seen in the series again. In the Japanese version, his shadow is seen over Molly's grave. He also places a pink flower on the grave.
Shadow's violent tendencies seem to have been toned down somewhat, at least for the 4Kids dub, but are still present; for example, he attempts to kill Cosmo after discovering that she was a Metarex spy, albeit an unwilling one; Tails attempts to stop him and is brutally beaten by Shadow as a result.
PersonalityEdit
Shadow is a loner, to put it bluntly. He is rarely seen with others for an extended period of time, and distances himself from essentially everyone. He is usually soft-spoken, and only says what he needs to before a fight. If Shadow makes a threat, he has every intention of carrying it out. Shadow constantly refers to himself as the Ultimate Lifeform, and is extremely arrogant and self-absorbed, belittling his opponents and insulting their lack of strength. Shadow also has a ruthless edge in combat that all other characters in the series lack, and displays a natural 'killer instinct'. At times, Shadow is the most violent and merciless character in the series.Shadow's infamous ruthlessness and aggression leads to fear and a nervousness that inhibits characters from his unshakable intent or sheer power in combat. Numerous characters from the Sonic series have shown absolute dread from encountering Shadow. Shadow's enemies never treat him lightly; he is one of the very few people Sonic takes seriously and acts hostile towards.
Alongside his dark and violent demeanor, Shadow can be smug and stubborn. He treats others in a very callous manner, throwing in his opinion no matter how cold-hearted it is and not caring for whatever the response is. He is also consistently serious, even when not on a mission and he has no regard for silliness.
On occasion, Shadow appears to have some degree of mental instability. This is proven by his frequent hallucinations about Maria's face and his numerous threatening speeches. In most games Shadow is featured in, he pursues his foes with disturbing determination. The canon ending of Shadow the Hedgehog showed Shadow willing to destroy anything in his way to get to Black Doom.
Shadow also possesses a strong sense of identity, as evidenced when after falsely being told that he isn't the Ultimate Lifeform due to a lab report. He states to Rouge that even if his memories were fake, he is still Shadow the Hedgehog. Similarly in Sonic Heroes, during the Egg Fleet level, he mentions that even without his memories, he is still the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog. These qualities make him rarely susceptible to being manipulated by other forces.
Shadow is not without sentimental emotions and has shown a small sense of compassion from time to time. When Omega begins his attack in Sonic Heroes, Shadow could have easily forgotten about Rouge and engaged Omega without defending her. Instead, Shadow saves her from Omega, despite having absolutely no memory of her. He was also shown to be legitimately shocked when he learned that his goal of gaining the Chaos Emeralds to restore his memories was actually manipulated by Black Doom in order to wipe out humanity. Likewise, when the GUN Commander finally confronts him with his own memories of Shadow's nightmarish creation, Shadow agrees to face judgement if he was indeed responsible for the ARK massacre 50 years ago.
Shadow brushes off any kindness or sympathy that is sent his way. This is shown in Sonic Heroes, when Rouge showed concern for Shadow when he saw a broken android, Shadow curtly brushed her concern away. Also in Shadow the Hedgehog after Sonic suggested some 'friendly competition,' Shadow turned his back to Sonic and said, 'Don't waste my time'.
Despite Shadow being considered neutral in terms of alignment, he is considered an anti-hero by the most part with his overall motivation, which is dedicating his life to protecting mankind. He has also been selfless, such as nearly giving his life at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 to save Earth. Regardless, Shadow is still neutral, because he does whatever is necessary to get what he wants.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Physical AbilitiesEdit
Basic physical traits and abilities between Shadow and Sonic are virtually identical. As such, Shadow possesses many of the same skills and abilities as Sonic has, along with greater raw power than Sonic, making Shadow one of the most powerful characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Although he is not nearly as strong as Power characters like Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow is quite physically strong. With little effort, he is capable of overturning large objects, such as trucks, buses and large slabs of concrete.
Like most other characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Shadow is able to run at super speeds. With his Hover Shoes, Shadow can hover-skate at supersonic speeds, even nearing that of hypersonic speeds, and is fast enough to nearly equal the speeds that Sonic can run at, making him one of the fastest characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. While most games places Sonic and Shadow as equals in speed, character profiles in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Rivals claim that Sonic is faster. Also, in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Shadow personally admitted that he was not faster than Sonic. While it is unknown how fast Shadow actually is without using his Hover Shoes, it has been hinted that Shadow can still move at speeds rivaling that of Sonic's, but he simply prefers not to.
Due to his natural high speeds, Shadow is highly acrobatic, agile and an experienced athlete, capable of gracefully leaping over many obstacles that comes in his way and performing various forms of nimble movements. He has as well radical reaction time to match his movements, being able to react to danger within a split second.
Shadow possesses incredibly high physical durability and is capable of surviving things that would normally be fatal to others, even by the standards of other superhuman creatures, making him nearly indestructible. As seen in Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is completely bulletproof while becoming Dark Shadow, being able to brush off all the gun shots from G.U.N. Soldiers as if they were not even there. He can take a lot of major punishment in battle before he starts to wear down. The most prominent testament to Shadow's durability was during the events following Sonic Adventure 2, where Shadow fell down to Earth and through re-entry in the atmosphere and still survived long enough for one of Dr. Eggman's robots to rescue him. However, he did still receive some injury, as evidenced by the amnesia he got from his fall towards the Earth. Even after receiving major damage, Shadow displays a remarkably fast recovery rate, allowing him to quickly re-enter a battle after just a few moments.
As shown in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Shadow is able to release tremendous amounts of energy if he takes off the rings that are on his wrists. This gives Shadow a drastic increase in overall power, reaching the point where he can plow through what appears to be hundreds of perfect copies of Mephiles the Dark, who can be regarded as one of the more powerful foes in the series. While most of the media state that Shadow's increase in power through this method comes at the expense of reducing his stamina, causing him to become exhausted after its use, Shadow has shown no sign of fatigue in the video game series when restoring to this method.
Additionally, being the end-product of Project Shadow, which was meant to create an immortal life-form, Shadow is immortal and does not physically age. Also, given that Project Shadow was partially to develop cures for various kinds of illnesses, Shadow may be completely immune to disease. Because he also possesses Black Doom's blood, Shadow is immune to the paralysis gas that was being leaked upon the Black Comet's descent onto Earth.
Chaos PowersEdit
Shadow is naturally able to tap into the arcane powers of any nearby Chaos Emeralds and utilize their Chaos Energy to empower himself and use a wide variety of Chaos Powers, such as Chaos Control, Chaos Spear, and Chaos Blast. Shadow can specifically harness both positive and negative Chaos Energy, depending on his state of mind.
Shadow's trademark move and most frequently used Chaos Power is Chaos Control: by using the power from a Chaos Emerald,[8] this technique can warp space and time around him to his will - such as slowing down time or teleporting various distances. Shadow is perhaps the most adept user of Chaos Control in the series, since he makes the most extensive use of it and can be considered a master of this technique; he can shape Chaos Control into a variety of offensive and defensive attacks, and can even use it delicately enough to distort space in small centralized areas, such as around his fists, or use it to heal himself. It is currently unknown as to what extent Shadow can specifically use Chaos Control, as he has never been seen using it on another object without warping himself along with it, but it has been shown that he can warp objects and people with him, such as transporting the Black Comet off of Earth. Aside from its final usage in Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow has used Chaos Control with three Emeralds at most, using Chaos Control to save Rouge from Prison Island.
As described in Shadow the Hedgehog, all of Shadow's Chaos powers increase in power with the number of Chaos Emeralds he possesses.
Weaponry and Vehicle SkillsEdit
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow has shown that he can also skillfully use a wide range of firearms, semi-automatics, heavy assault, and close-combat weapons. He can also improvise with debris, and drive a wide range of vehicles, as shown in Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders, and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Combat SkillsEdit
In combat, Shadow is a fierce, dangerous, and extremely powerful force that few can defeat directly. Extremely powerful, Shadow has never been seen holding back on his immense strength, making him a powerful, brutal and deadly fighter with a distinct killer instinct. Shadow's skills are more than a match for even the strongest characters in the series, and has been able to take down some of the most fearsome foes seen in the Sonic the Hedgehog series on his own, such as Black Doom. To best put his skills in perspective, as seen in some of the scenarios in Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is only person so far who has been able to utterly defeat Sonic in combat.
Fighting StyleEdit
Shadow's fighting style focuses on direct, brutal, unrestrained and powerful hand-to-hand combat, with heavy reliance on his Chaos Powers. In line with his nature and potent abilities, Shadow has adopted a fighting style where he fights his opponents using powerful blows, such as karate chops swift punches and roundhouse kicks, to which of his attacks have a significant amount of force behind them. With the speeds Shadow can move at, he can disable the opponent through the force of his blows alone, while leaving them at the mercy at his incoming attacks.

Shadow's fighting style revolves around making heavy use of his Chaos Powers, especially Chaos Control. Using Chaos Control, Shadow can teleport up in front or behind his opponents in battle to launch surprise attacks. Also, Shadow can use Chaos Control to increase the damage he deals to his opponent when striking them, often resulting in significant forces being released and blowing the opponent a certain distance away. To give himself the advantage over his opponents, Shadow will use powerful Chaos attacks involving Chaos Energy, such as energy bolts or even intense explosions.
Techniques and MovesEdit
Like Sonic, Shadow's basic combat moves revolves around the various forms of the Spin Attack, which is a variation on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. The Homing Attack allows Shadow to jump and home in on an enemy to get over large gaps he cannot normally reach, the Spin Jump lets him curl into a ball attack opponent by landing on them, and the Spin Dash lets him shoot himself forward as an acceleration roll at high speeds to break barriers or mow down enemies. Another technique, Shadow has is the Black Tornado witch is exactly the same as Sonic's Blue Tornado in witch Shadow jumps into the air, and creates a whirlwind by circling a particular spot at high speeds which can throw his opponents into the air or blow away armor and weapons. For more direct combat, Shadow can use his Chaos Attack to deal a barrage of Chaos Energy-fueled strikes to his opponents, and his Spin Kick lets him create a small tornado that can suck enemies in and damage them.
Many of Shadow's signature techniques are Chaos Powers. Shadow's trademark move is Chaos Control, which allows him to manipulate time and space to either warp across space or slow down time. His second most used Chaos Power is his Chaos Spear technique, where he throws bolts of Chaos Energy at his opponent. His most powerful and potent technique, however, is the Chaos Blast, which is literally a shockwave of Chaos Energy that eliminates anything and everything in a circular radius range. Shadow can, however, only use this attack when he is immersed in Chaos Energy.
Another special Chaos Power Shadow uses is his Chaos Boost technique. When using the Chaos Boost, Shadow covers himself in Chaos Energy. While in Chaos Boost form, Shadow gains more destructive power and is immune to some enemy attacks. It also enables Shadow to utilize more Chaos Powers, such as Chaos Blast, Chaos Snap, and Chaos Lance. In Sonic Generations, Shadow can also use the Chaos Boost to give himself a boost of speed, which is similar in function to the Sonic Boost. Rather than skating like usual, Shadow uses the fire from his Air Shoes to propel himself forward.
Miscellaneous SkillsEdit
As seen in Sonic Free Riders, Shadow has proven himself to be an expert Extreme Gear rider, as seen in the tournament where he was able to put up quite a fight and even defeat some of the world's best Extreme Gear riders. When riding on an Extreme Gear, Shadow is skillful enough to ride on rails, execute complex tricks while in midair, and even perform his Chaos Powers and combat moves with ease.
TransformationsEdit
Super ShadowEdit
- Main article: Super Shadow
Like Sonic and Silver, by harnessing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Shadow is able to use super transformation to enter a Super State that transform him into Super Shadow. In this form, he is bestowed with the new abilities of flight and near invulnerability. Also, like other super transformations, his normal abilities regarding speed, strength, and power are greatly enhanced as well, and his skills with Chaos Powers are increased to their full limit. During his first use of this transformation, Shadow found it difficult to stay in this state, due to his inexperience with it, but has since mastered it.
Hero ShadowEdit
- Main article: Hero Shadow
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is able to transform into Hero Shadow with the use of positive Chaos Energy, whenever his mind is fueled by thoughts of justice. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible and can perform a large scale use of Chaos Control. This form, however, only lasts for a limited time.
Dark ShadowEdit
- Main article: Dark Shadow
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is able to transform into Dark Shadow with the use of negative Chaos Energy, whenever his mind is fueled by thoughts of evil. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible and can perform Chaos Blast. Like Hero Shadow, however, this form also only lasts for a limited time.
RelationshipsEdit
Professor Gerald RobotnikEdit
Shadow was created by the renowned scientist Professor Gerald Robotnik, using Black Doom's DNA. Gerald had made many attempts to create the Ultimate Lifeform before Black Doom and his children, the Black Arms, came to Earth. Unfortunately, the closest he came was the Biolizard. Black Doom, however, approached Gerald and offered his help, but only on one condition; if Black Doom helped Gerald, the professor must promise to deliver the seven Chaos Emeralds to him. Gerald agreed to these terms, and Black Doom gave some of his DNA, which was added to the samples that Gerald had already obtained. The result of this experiment was Shadow the Hedgehog. Gerald seems to be one of few people whom Shadow felt happy around, and the professor might have acted as a surrogate father to him. This is further proved when Gerald refers to the hedgehog as his 'son.' Despite this, however, when defeating the FinalHazard, Shadow states that he promises to 'destroy all evil that the professor had created,' implying that while he might still respect Gerald Robotnik, he nonetheless feels that any bad things that Gerald Robotnik had done after going insane must be stopped.
Doctor EggmanEdit
Shadow's approach to Eggman is different from most characters in the Sonic series. Shadow sees Eggman as the super-genius he has proven to be, rather than the megalomaniac that Sonic and the others see him as. This can be backed up by the fact that Shadow almost always calls Eggman by his title 'the Doctor', as opposed to his alias of 'Eggman.' Eggman has shown similar respect by referring to Shadow's powers as 'spectacular', and by how he sometimes applauds Shadow. This is seen in Shadow the Hedgehog during a cut scene where Eggman remarks, 'Excellent job, Shadow.'
Even though Shadow and Eggman display a level of respect toward each other, they also show a dislike toward one another. This can be backed up in Sonic the Hedgehog when Eggman refers to Rouge as his 'dear Rouge', and just flatly states Shadow's name. In the same game, when Shadow breaks through the ceiling of his base, Eggman responds with, 'wouldn't the door have been easier? So..What do you want now?' The disgusted tone may refer to Shadow having just smashed the ceiling. In Shadow the Hedgehog, Eggman tells Shadow, 'You will obey me, or there will be dire consequences'. In three possible storylines in Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow even kills Eggman. Even though Shadow and Eggman have some respect for each other, they still do not regard each other as anything more than an acquaintance.
Black DoomEdit
The relationship between Shadow and Black Doom may have been brief, but has played a significant role in Shadow's life. Shadow was made from Black Doom's blood, in a deal between the alien and Professor Gerald; this technically makes Black Doom Shadow's biological father. It is that DNA sample which gives Shadow his black and red fur. Black Doom, at first, tried to get Shadow on his side by playing on what remained of Shadow's painful memories of losing Maria. Regardless of the path taken during gameplay, Shadow, in his Super State, fights and defeats Black Doom, who transformed into Devil Doom. Shadow then destroys the Black Comet with the Eclipse Cannon in the last story. However, throughout the events of Shadow the Hedgehog, Black Doom threatens Shadow and demands extreme loyalty and respect, even when choosing the 'Dark' path; in gameplay, Doom acts with no compassion whatsoever. He also doesn't tolerate any kind of mistake or failure, no matter how difficult the task on Shadow's part may be.
Maria RobotnikEdit
Professor Gerald's granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, is by far the one person that made Shadow the happiest. She was like a sister to him, and they shared the same dream; to visit Earth. Unfortunately, GUN deemed Project Shadow to be too big a threat to the world. As a result, they eliminated everything they could in relation to the project, including the people. Maria was shot and killed by G.U.N. during the raid on the ARK. Her last parting words were 'Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog,' Shadow still stays strong to keep his promise to her and mourned her death, although at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog, he implies that he is putting his past behind him.
Sonic the HedgehogEdit
Shadow's arch-rival is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. They became enemies when meeting in Sonic Adventure 2, but later became bitter arch-rivals. Since meeting each other, there has been a recurring and unfinished battle between them. Shadow and Sonic's rivalry can be fierce enough to the point of trying to kill each other, and at other times an intense competition. In any case, one always wants to outdo the other.
When they first met, Shadow believed Sonic to have been copying him, with a mutual belief from Sonic. He later retained this belief in Sonic Heroes, largely because of his amnesia.
Shadow and Sonic frequently fight due to their own views on justice and morality and how to act on them. Their constant arguments can quickly turn into outright deathmatches. Each does not care what the other thinks of those views. In a sense, the two hedgehogs are polar opposites in every way except their appearance. Almost every time they meet, they battle ferociously. Neither is ever willing to accept defeat.
Despite their fierce arch-rivalry, Shadow and Sonic have helped each other on rare occasions. Shadow checked if Sonic was ready to defeat Eggman in Sonic Colors. He also saved Sonic from Silver in Sonic the Hedgehog, and motivated Sonic to defeat the Time Eater in Sonic Generations. After the Time Eater was defeated, Shadow attended Sonic's birthday party and was the only character present to not wave goodbye to Classic Sonic and Classic Tails.
Miles 'Tails' ProwerEdit
Shadow and Tails first met in Sonic Adventure 2. Shadow was mistaken for Sonic, and the military captured Sonic and imprisoned him on Prison Island. Shadow, Tails, and everyone else later became allies when they had to save the planet from being destroyed by a collision with the Space Colony ARK. In Sonic Heroes, they fought very briefly because Shadow and Rouge had provoked Team Sonic into fighting them.
While Tails cannot match Shadow's power and experience in a fight, his machines have hindered Shadow before. The main creation that hindered Shadow was the fake Chaos Emerald in Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic used the fake Chaos Emerald to activate Chaos Control to escape the exploding capsule that Dr. Eggman tried to destroy him in. Soon after, Sonic used the fake Chaos Emerald to sabotage the Eclipse Cannon and prevent it from firing.
Rouge the BatEdit
Shadow has a companionship with Rouge the Bat that is based mainly on partnership during the games. The two are teammates in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, and often work together during mission stages, but they do not spend time in the other's presence outside of duty alliance. This marks them as occasional teammates when it comes down to appreciation, respect, and consideration over the term of 'best friends.' Shadow has not shared the closeness of opening up to neither Omega or Rouge the way best friends would do, let alone accompanying them as casual company due to his independent and distant nature, unlike how Sonic interacts with his companions. However, Shadow was implied to have at least heard of her before their formal meeting onboard the Space Colony ARK, as Shadow responds, 'Now I know who you are! You're that government spy, Rouge the Bat, aren't you!' when stumbling upon her true intentions at the controls of the Eclipse Cannon.
In Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow saved her life when Rouge was trapped in Security Hall, though when she questioned him about his actions later aboard the ARK, he told her he only returned for the Chaos Emeralds that she had acquired. Although, Rouge teased that this wasn't 'the whole story.' Their conversation was then interrupted by Dr. Eggman.
In Sonic Heroes, when they find a broken Shadow Android, Rouge looks over to Shadow with pity and asks, 'Shadow..?' in a sympathetic mannerism, while he simply dismisses the situation.
In Sonic Battle, Rouge implies that she may hold a certain level of attraction towards Shadow and lets him stay with her at Club Rouge when he is injured during a fight at the Gimme Shelter. Also, while Shadow is dreaming, an image of Rouge appears and he whispers, 'Ally.' After he regains consciousness, Rouge seems somewhat hurt and offended when he doesn't thank her for helping him.
In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Shadow shows he is protective of Rouge's well-being. Once, when catching her from a fall after she was momentarily knocked out by one of Dr. Eggman's robots, and again, when he jumps in front of her after a fake Chaos Emerald explodes. When E-123 Omega reveals to Shadow that he is the one who traps him in the future; Rouge tells Shadow, 'Even if you believe the entire world will be against you, know that I will always remain by your side.. Remember that..' Shadow pauses, then strongly replies, 'I will.' However, this event was erased along with the rest of the events within the game after the 'future was reversed.'
In Sonic Rivals, after Shadow saves Rouge from Eggman Nega, Rouge tries to coerce him into going treasure hunting with her and suggests the two 'take a peek' into their own future using Eggman Nega's device. Shadow declines and the story ends with Rouge still trying to convince Shadow to join her in hunting for the remaining cards.
In Sonic Rivals 2, their encounter was less than friendly from their previous ones to separate the fact their overall relationship seems to be more partner-focused when they ally for the occasion rather than best-friend designated. Shadow is consistently trying to stop Rouge and Knuckles from reaching the Chaos Emeralds at all costs, and seeks to manipulate the Chaos-finding device from Rouge. Rouge asks Shadow on what's going on, saying that Shadow can trust her, and Shadow tells her about the Ifrit. When Rouge mentions her client, Shadow demands to know who her client is, but Rouge refuses against him, leading him to yell after for her to, 'get back here.' When Shadow catches up to her, Rouge still refuses to tell him about her client as Shadow mildly threatens her, and then she trips him over and replies that he was being 'clumsy,' and he growls, 'Why you..!' The conversation then devolves into a fight between the two.
In Sonic Free Riders, both Shadow and Rouge appear as Team Dark along with E-10000B. Their main focus during the game is winning the treasure and prize money. Unlike in previous games, Shadow seems perfectly content with helping Rouge obtain the treasure she covets.
E-123 OmegaEdit
Shadow has a very close relationship with Omega who, other than Maria, may be Shadow's closest friend. This relationship is first shown when Shadow looks out for Omega in Sonic Heroes halfway into the game. This was also shown in Shadow the Hedgehog when Shadow willingly helped Omega in Iron Jungle and Lava Shelter. In Sonic the Hedgehog, both Shadow and Rouge were somewhat saddened by Omega being reprogrammed to hunt down Shadow in the future, due to Shadow being seen as too strong of a lifeform, causing humanity to fear him. The bond between the two may have been strengthened by the fact that Shadow is the Ultimate Lifeform and that Omega is considered the Ultimate Robot and share a common importance to the world.
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Shadow joins Sonic's team to find Omega, he clearly shows anger if the player refuses to rescue him and states that if he doesn't find Omega, then he'll 'be very upset'. He also states that 'he was also my friend' which is the first time Shadow openly calls someone his friend, although he notably only says this after questioning by Sonic, not willingly. This is proof that he doesn't like seeing his closest friends being hurt. This is also shown when the player finds Omega in Metropolis and Shadow orders Eggman to be quiet after saying not to bother checking if Omega's okay. When Tails says that robots are coming, Shadow responds with, 'Good. I need to smash something.' Again, this is shown when Tails realizes he can fix Omega, Shadow simply orders him to 'do it.' Shadow and Omega pair up for two POW moves. One is Focus Field, which involves Omega opening fire on a foe with his Gatling guns, then Shadow following up with a Chaos Blast. Team Dark partner up for Metal Storm, in which Shadow sends Omega into the air with Chaos Control. Rouge follows up by kicking Omega, who then collides into the target like a torpedo.
Amy RoseEdit
In Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow and Amy Rose interact twice, but each time seems to gain an odd reaction from Shadow. Amy first meets Shadow when she mistakes him for Sonic and hugs him from behind, while Shadow remains still after having been briefly caught off-guard by her touch. He also does not shake her off or resort to violence. When Amy senses the lack of a reaction, she releases him, causing him to glance back at her. Amy demands his name when she realizes that he is not Sonic, but Shadow continues to glare at her quietly. After Amy notices Dr. Eggman, she also realizes the mistake she has made, and runs off screaming. During this, Shadow simply tilts his head when she is out of range as Dr. Eggman tells the team that he'll take care of Amy.
Later in the game aboard the ARK, Amy meets Shadow again and this time does her part in helping by begging Shadow to save the world. At first, Shadow simply replies that it is pointless, but then Amy points out that despite people sometimes being selfish, they were still inwardly good and that saving them was right. Because of this, Shadow suddenly has a flashback of Maria begging Shadow to make people happy. When Shadow comes to his senses he goes off to fight the Biolizard, determinedly and softly telling Amy that he has to keep his promise to 'Maria..and [her].'
Amy was also the only one to see Shadow's tear after he remembered that Maria wanted him to save the people that live on Earth, making her the only person to see him cry in Sonic Adventure 2.
During Sonic Battle, Amy shows excitement and concern upon hearing Shadow's survival through Rouge, but quickly becomes angry when Rouge will not tell her why he's there.
During Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow can choose to assist Amy in helping find Cream the Rabbit and have her fight alongside the player during the stage and in the boss battle, but this time, there is no reward in return. Also, at the end of Shadow The Hedgehog, Amy shows an odd amount of faith and admiration for Shadow, regardless of him being Sonic's arch-rival. When Rouge mutters to herself, 'I hope he's okay up there,' Amy comforts her with her hands clasped and a cheerful smile on her face, 'I'm sure he's fine, Rouge! After all, he is Shadow!' which further displays her positive outlook on the black hedgehog and her general optimism.
G.U.N. CommanderEdit
The Commander and Shadow were enemies with each other because the Commander blamed Shadow for the death of his family and Maria 50 years ago and throughout the game, he orders his troops to kill Shadow but after the events of Shadow the Hedgehog, the Commander apologized and invited Shadow over to their organization; this is presumably the time that Shadow became a G.U.N. agent.
Metal SonicEdit
Shadow, along with Rouge, Omega, and the rest of the teams from Sonic Heroes were distracting Metal Sonic, in his Metal Madness form, so that Team Sonic could transform into their Super state. Sometime later, Shadow and Metal Sonic are forced to work together when Doctor Eggman calls for Shadow's assistance in Sonic Rivals 2. Although they are together for a brief amount of time, Shadow does seem concerned about Metal Sonic multiple times, despite the fact that Metal Sonic is a robot with the inability to speak. Shadow constantly asks him if he's alright and at the end of the game when Metal Sonic tears himself open to retrieve the Chaos Emerald within his body, Shadow tells him to stop, for he fears Metal Sonic will destroy himself. Feeling a possible connection due to his friendship with Omega may be the reasoning for his concern. He also may think that he was doing this on his own intention as he only needs Eggman to speak for him. Another possibility is that since Gerald Robotnik created him, and Eggman, Gerald's grandson, created Metal Sonic, he felt it was right. Shadow does show some deep concern for him as he even talked to Metal Sonic himself instead of Eggman.
Silver the HedgehogEdit
Shadow and Silver were enemies at first due to Silver being tricked by Mephiles, but became partners later on in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. They became allies when they worked together after their fight. After using Chaos Control, the two traveled back ten years to witness the Solaris Project accident. The two working together later split up to go after their own targets; Silver watching the King of Soleanna sealing Iblis inside Elise and Shadow sealing Mephiles inside the Scepter of Darkness. After they finished, Shadow and Silver meet up outside the Aquatic Base. They then use Chaos Control to go back to the present. They meet up once again during Solaris' resurrection.
In the Sonic Rivals games, Shadow and Silver are rivals. Shadow does not trust Silver's intentions and speculations about Dr. Eggman's identity, but after he discovered that Silver was right, Shadow showed some tolerance torward SIlver. In Sonic Rivals 2, they are at odds; mostly because Silver did not want Shadow getting in his way.
Team ChaotixEdit
Shadow has had several altercations with the detective agency, the first being a confrontation in Sonic Heroes that escalated into a brawl, with their differences then seemingly set aside later when they joined forces against an evolved Metal Sonic. The Chaotix resumed their role as allies in Shadow the Hedgehog, with each member participating as a partner in the hero missions of various levels. Individually, Vector perceives Shadow as a friend, as demonstrated in one of the endings of Shadow the Hedgehog when the crocodile attempted to console him when he concluded himself to being nothing more than a living weapon of mass destruction, though Shadow apparently didn't want to hear it.
Espio has shown his capacity of friendship for the black hedgehog and the two proved to make a good team when they confronted Dr. Eggman. When Eggman tries to lie and manipulate Shadow, Espio tells the hedgehog not to fall for the doctor's tricks and to defeat him first. Charmy has exercised a more enthusiastic relationship with Shadow, demonstrating how much he respects and looks up to him while often stating how 'cool' Shadow is. All the Chaotix voices are present in supporting Shadow during the last story as well as Expert Mode.
Cream the RabbitEdit
Shadow and Cream do not have any friendly relationship between each other but he rescued her in Cryptic Castle when Amy requested Shadow to find her in Hero mission in the game.After that,Shadow tells both Amy and Cream that If they want to stay clear of trouble, they better stay away from Eggman.

QuotesEdit
Theme songsEdit
The video games have featured several theme songs for the character. Shadow's themes consisted primarily of the techno and industrial genres often with synthed vocals that are barely audible in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, but have shown an increasing preference towards the hard rock genre in more recent games.
- Sonic Adventure 2: Throw It All Away - Everett Bradley. (A short instrumental version appeared in Sonic and the Black Knight in the event called 'Sir Lancelot Appears.') Also, the song Live and Learn seems to also be his theme, but shared with Sonic, since it is the final boss theme when Super Sonic and Super Shadow are used. An instrumental also played in the game, Shadow The Hedgehog when Shadow was turning into Super Shadow in the final story. A short version of this song also appears when standing in front of Shadow in the Sonic Generations hub world.
- Sonic Heroes: This Machine - Julien-K. (This was a team theme shared with Rouge and Omega.)
- Shadow the Hedgehog featured multiple themes:
- I Am.. All of Me - Crush 40
- Almost Dead - Powerman 5000
- Waking Up - Julien-K
- Chosen One - A2
- All Hail Shadow - Magna-Fi
- Never Turn Back - Crush 40
- Sonic the Hedgehog: All Hail Shadow (Remix) - Crush 40 (This appears in Sonic and the Black Knight when the Medal of Lancelot is equipped)
- In addition, there are several vocal level themes associated with Shadow's character in Sonic Adventure 2:
- White Jungle: Rhythm and Balance - Everett Bradley
- Final Chase: The Supernatural - Everett Bradley
- Biolizard: Supporting Me - Everett Bradley
- Radical Highway: Vengeance is Mine - Jun Senoue; in Shadow The Hedgehog a remix is used in 2 Player Mode.
- Also, a special remix of Tripod Baby performed by M-Flo was released as a promotional song for Shadow.
ReceptionEdit
Shadow was ranked as the second favorite Sonic character, beaten only by Sonic the Hedgehog himself, in the official Sonic character poll. Out of the thousands of votes that were tallied, Sonic only won by ten.[1] However, many game reviewers, such as GameSpot, have called Shadow a 'clone' of Sonic.[9]Game Revolution described his character as a 'quintessential anti-Sonic.'[10] In a 1UP.com feature about 'How Sega Can Save Sonic the Hedgehog,' Jeremy Parish wrote that of the 'tagalongs' that the series must ditch, Shadow's character was the most in need of it.[11]
TriviaEdit
- Though the design of Shadow the Hedgehog was meant to be a secret until such time SEGA decided to reveal the finalized version, details of the character were leaked when ReSaurus announced they were making figures of Shadow and Rouge, much as they had for the first Adventure title. Ironically, the company went out of business before they could release these figures to the masses.
- In the games, when Shadow performs Chaos Control, he usually shouts or exclaims 'Chaos Control,' but in Sonic X, he says 'Chaos Control, now.'
- According to the games' canon (and confirmed by Iizuka[8]), Shadow and everyone else requires at least one Chaos Emerald close by to draw power from for Chaos Control, or the technique is impossible - however, Shadow has appeared to use Chaos Control or its related powers during gameplay of some games without visible Emeralds nearby.
- In the games and different canons Shadow appears to have some form of Sensing ability in the Shadow the Hedgehog (game) when Sonic tells Shadow that the Black Comet passes by Earth every 50 years Sonic then asks Shadow if he thinks that the comet has something to do with the Black Arms in which Shadow says he senses the presence of aliens aboard the Comet, Shadow also appears to have the power to sense Chaos Energy in the Shadow the Hedgehog (game) after Shadow arrives at Circus Park searching for the fourth Chaos Emerald he appears to be looking for it with out a Chaos Emerald or a Emerald radar in his hand to guide him, In Sonic X episode 60 after Shadow awakens from his capsule and a image of the Purple Chaos Emerald appears in his mind and he teleports himself to the place where Sonic and his friends are fighting a Metarex for the Purple Chaos Emerald, In Sonic Universe Issue 4 when Shadow (Archie) and Rouge the Bat (Archie) go to the Special Zone (Archie) where they were given a task by Feist there Shadow says he can feel or sense Chaos energy around them but chould not tap into it.
- Shadow and Knuckles were originally confirmed to appear in Sonic Unleashed however, Tails and Amy remained in the story of the game.
- Shadow is however mentioned in the game. The Brenda Blurb Side-Quest beginning in Chun-nan, one of the questions Brenda asks is along the lines of 'What creature was revealed from the planet when Eggman broke it?' One of the three answers is 'Shadow the Hedgehog'. Another mention is made in Empire City, on a street sign exclusively in the Xbox 360/PS3 version.
- Shadow presumably has green blood, as Black Doom said Shadow was created from a sample of his blood, which is green. However, members of the Black Arms only have green blood in non-Japanese releases of the game, as in the Japanese version of Shadow the Hedgehog, the Black Arms have red blood.

- His hover shoes light is white in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes but in Shadow The Hedgehog his hover shoes light is yellow
- Prima's Official Game Guides for Sonic Adventure 2 referred to Shadow's Super form 'Hyper Shadow,' despite how Sega and Sonic Team have referred to it as canonically being 'Super Shadow.'
- In the Japanese commercial for Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is seen dancing.
- In his Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games artwork, Shadow appears to be missing his tail.
- Shadow is left-handed in Shadow the Hedgehog as he is seen to be holding a gun with his left-hand. His counterpart, Lancelot however fights with his right-hand, possibly because of the Wii motion control.
- In the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Shadow always leads with his right for his attacks during cutscenes
- In Sonic Riders and Zero Gravity, Shadow will reach high speeds without the use of his jet shoes after gaining the Attack Mode power-up.
- Shadow's skin color is usually tanner in his 2D artwork than his 3D artwork.
- In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Shadow seems to be able to use psychokinetic powers, as seen in some of his POW moves such as Metal Storm. This power has not been seen in any other continuity. It appears to be a form of Chaos Control, as whoever he is moving is glows the same color Shadow does when he uses Chaos Control to warp; blue.
- In the 2011 Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition, Shadow placed 25th in the 'Top 50 Video Game Characters of All Time' while Sonic placed tenth.
- Shadow's Brawl Trophy is almost identical to his Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) artwork.
- In Sonic Generations, the player may be rewarded with the fourth Chaos Emerald for defeating Shadow (third if he is fought before Perfect Chaos). Coincidentally, in his own game, Shadow mentions the fourth Chaos Emerald in a line, 'Where's that @#!*% fourth Chaos Emerald!?' which has since gained internet popularity.
- Shadow's quills heavily resemble those of Hyper Sonic and Super Sonic in the Sonic Adventure games. It is possible that Prof. Gerald designed Shadow like this after the mural of Super Sonic that appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
- Shadow's three main Chaos abilities are generally color-coded in relation to the three Chao alignments. Chaos Control requires positive Chaos Energy generally glows blue, as Hero Chao have blue markings. Chaos Spear is generally depicted as being yellow-white, while Neutral Chao have yellow markings. Chaos Blast requires negative Chaos Energy, and is generally red, whereas Dark Chao have red markings.
- In Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, his profile says he likes 'nothing'.
- Whenever Shadow is standing, he often crosses both arms.

Shadow the Hedgehog is the end result of Project: Shadow, an effort to create the Ultimate Lifeform. Created by Professor Gerald in his efforts to find a cure to a rare disease known as NIDS that was affecting his granddaughter Maria Robotnik, Shadow was gifted with the powers of the alien Black Doom through that entity's blood. After the project was forcibly shut down by the government and G.U.N., Shadow was put into stasis for 50 years and then awakened by Dr. Eggman, Gerald's grandson, to help him take over the world. Shadow sought instead to destroy the world to avenge Maria, who had been killed by the raid on Space Colony ARK where they had both lived. However, he would later be persuaded by Sonic the Hedgehog to help save the world, if it wasn't for Amy. on a number of occasions afterwards, even after briefly rejoining Eggman. And sooner or later Rouge the Bat, Omega, and Shadow formed Team Dark. And all though they try convincing him to join them in G.U.N. But his answer is no because he still holds the grudeg of Maria's death. He's one of the main protagonists in the series.
Appearance Edit
History Edit
50 Years Ago Edit
Shadow was created on the Space Colony ARK by Professor Gerald as part of Project Shadow. The project had been commissioned by the president of the time as a means of creating immortality via an 'Ultimate Lifeform'; Gerald, however, saw the research as a potential means of curing Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome or NIDS, a disease from which his granddaughter Maria suffered. Failing to develop a successful Ultimate Lifeform on his own, he turned to the alien Black Doom, leader of the species known as the Black Arms. The contribution of Black Doom's own DNA helped in the process of creating the being known as Shadow, who was immortal, immune to disease and, thanks to Doom, highly attune to Chaos powers. However, Gerald learned of Black Doom's malicious intentions for Mobius - the alien planned to use Shadow as an agent in ushering in his eventual conquest of the planet. Gerald instead planned to make Shadow the planet's greatest protector should the Black Arms ever return.
However, tragedy struck soon afterwards, as GUN soldiers raided the ARK, seeking to apprehend the Ultimate Lifeform and destroy all knowledge of the project. Sadly, like Black Doom, GUN saw the project as a potential weapon, but hoped to turn it to their own ends. While they were attempting to escape the space colony, Maria was fatally shot by a soldier before Shadow's eyes. The pod in which Shadow was ejected was recovered by the military and he was placed into stasis. Gerald was arrested, but when he learned of Maria's death, he was driven insane, desiring the destruction of the planet in revenge. As he was uncooperative, he was eventually executed, but not before planting the seeds to enable his vengeance in the future. When Shadow awoke decades later, he did not remember any of his original purpose, only a desire to avenge Maria, due to Gerald altering his memories.
Awaking and 'Death' Edit
When Shadow was awakened from stasis fifty years later, it was thanks to Gerald's grandson's alternate counterpart, Dr. Eggman. Coveting Shadow's power so that he could take over the world, Eggman enlisted Shadow's aid in acquiring the Chaos Emeralds. Shadow proceeded to steal Station Square's Chaos Emerald, after facing off against the city's protector. Due to his similar appearance to Sonic, Station Square's army mistakenly believed the thief to have been Sonic the Hedgehog, and thus sent their military after him.
Shadow was later confronted by Sonic on Prison Island during his mission to steal six Chaos Emeralds with the assistance of Rouge the Bat. While he and Sonic fought in the forest, Eggman informed Shadow that he had set charges on the island and it was about to explode. Rouge then called in saying that she was trapped in the vault where the Chaos Emeralds where being held. Eggman merely told Shadow to meet him at the rendezvous point after the explosion, saying that they would dig the emeralds out of the ashes later. Sonic, overhearing this, proposed a temporary truce with Shadow in order to save Rouge. The two were successful in finding Rouge - with the emeralds - and Shadow teleported them all off of the island to Eggman's pyramid base using Chaos Control. Shadow then teleported away with the emeralds, leaving the two in the desert. Sonic and Rouge, realizing the danger of Eggman taking the emeralds aboard the ARK, broke into the base and stole a shuttle. Sonic eventually confronted Shadow, who planned to use the emeralds to activate the Eclipse Cannon as per Gerald's revenge.
Just after Shadow landed a Chaos Spear attack on Sonic, Rouge informed him via intercom that she'd found a video she believed Shadow needed to see. Thanks to the video, Shadow realized that he had been misled by false memories, and that Maria would have not wanted the planet destroyed. Shadow and Sonic went to recover the emeralds and found them in a shrine within the ARK; however, they were guarded by the failed Ultimate Life-form Prototype, which would not allow Gerald's plans to go astray. The monster merged itself with the ARK's Eclipse Cannon using Chaos Control in order to crash the entire structure into the planet itself; in response, the two hedgehogs used the emeralds to transform into Super Sonic and Super Shadow. After they defeated the beast, they used Chaos Control to send the ARK back into orbit; Shadow, however, was so exhausted that he began to fall into space, seemingly lost. That is until Dr. Eggman found him again and erased his memories, so he could work for him. But that didn't because Shadow escaped and encountered everyone again.
Invasion of the Black Arms Edit
Shadow found himself dealing with the Black Arms invasion of Mobius. As the Black Arms descended from the sky to invade, [[Black Doom] appeared before Shadow and told him to bring him the Chaos Emeralds 'as promised' before disappearing. Fueled with desire to seek out his past and find the truth behind Black Doom's words, Shadow sped off to obtain the emeralds. During his adventure, he provided some level of assistance to the invaders, which resulted in feelings of mistrust towards him from some citizens of Mobius. After successfully gathering all of the emeralds, Shadow was confronted by Black Doom, who commanded him to give up the emeralds so that they can begin the 'Ritual Of Prosperity'. Sonic and the others, including Dr, Eggman, then arrived and told Shadow not to listen to the alien leader. After it was revealed that Black Doom wished to harvest humans as an energy source, he took the Chaos Emeralds from Shadow and used Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet down to the surface of the planet. Black Doom then explained that he helped Professor Gerald create Shadow but only in return for the Chaos Emeralds, which were needed to bring the comet down to the surface. This revealed that Shadow was actually created using Black Doom's DNA. As Eggman was in disbelief that his grandfather would betray the planet, Black Doom paralyzed everyone with a special gas and left them to be devoured by his alien offspring. As the end seemed near, Shadow suddenly heard Maria asking for help and he broke through the paralysis. Black Doom fled, leaving behind Shadow, the only hope for the planet. Shadow caught up with Black Doom and suddenly was attacked by mind control. Black Doom told him that he could control him as they had the same blood running through their veins, but Shadow refused to believe it. Just then, Charmy Bee, Vector the Crocodile, and Espio the Chameleon activated a film showing a sane Professor Gerald Robotnik. In the video he referred to Shadow as his 'son' and told him that he was the only hope for the planet. It was revealed that the only way to defeat the Black Arms was to destroy the Black Comet using the Eclipse Cannon, a powerful weapon built into the ARK. As the video ended, Maria stepped into the frame and gave Shadow the inspiration he needed to break through Black Doom's control. Black Doom escaped and prompted Shadow to use the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Shadow and fight the alien leader. Black Doom, now in his Devil Doom form, fought Shadow but was defeated. Shadow then used a super-powered Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet back into the planet's orbit and tear it apart with a blast from the Eclipse Cannon. Everyone below on Earth cheered in joy as the alien threat was destroyed seemingly forever. On board the ARK, Shadow looked at a picture of Maria and Gerald before tossing it away, remarking 'Goodbye forever.. Shadow the Hedgehog'. And all though he'd may put the past behind him, but someday the past will come back to haunt him.
Current Edit
Shadow helped Sonic save his family and made a impression on Sonia ,which this made Sonic jealous.
Powers and Abilities Edit
Possessing speed equal to Sonic thanks to his jet-soled shoes, as well as natural speed bestowed unto him, Shadow is capable of many of the same moves as his near doppelganger, including Sonic's patented Spin-Dash. Shadow also commands Chaos powers through a direct link to the Chaos Force, which unlike that of theBrotherhood of Guardians doesn't require tapping into the energies of the Master Emerald or a Chaos Emerald. It is notable, however, that Shadow's abilities are more potent when aided by an emerald. Shadow can utilize these powers in a variety of ways, most commonly in the form of attacks such as Chaos Spear and Chaos Blast, or in time-freezing and teleportation moves such as Chaos Control. With a Master Emerald or Chaos Emerald(s), he can increase the power of these abilities. Despite his power, Shadow has his limits, and does not possess the same level of energy Knuckles once wielded as Chaos Knuckles. He can temporarily increase his powers by removing his inhibitor bands and taking the form of Chaos Shadow. After the excess energy wears off however, he is left weakened. Like Sonic, he can attain a Super form by using the power of the Chaos Emeralds. He can use the jets on his shoes to briefly hover or assist his jumps as well as on-ground movements. As the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow is also thought to be ageless and immune to disease. Shadow also has an unknown ability to sense the location of the black aliens, because of his loose connection by Black Arms DNA.
Personality Edit
Shadow is arrogant, aloof, determined, and somewhat cold. doesn't take kindly to others interfering in his business, and maintains a very small circle of close companions. He lacks many of Sonic's inhibitions, being perfectly willing to eliminate a foe rather than merely subduing them. He often comes off as blunt and uncaring and doesn't take kindly to outside interference, preferring to believe himself capable of handling most things on his own. He lacks many of Sonic's inhibitions, being perfectly willing to eliminate a foe rather than merely subduing them, and he often believes that the ends justify the means. Because of this, he is often very destructive in battle. Still, he does have a personal sense of honor, enough to leave the Freedom Fighters in peace on some occasions despite his alliance with Eggman. At times he has behaved with almost a mercenary attitude, joining forces with others only to further his own goals, but in the end he usually ends up picking the side of moral right. When Shadow has a goal, he sticks to it with grim determination and intense focus, not resting until it is fulfilled. He has high expectations for himself, and takes personal failure especially hard. He has little patience for silly behavior. While others often tease him about his seemingly brooding attitude, he is capable of subtle compassion.
After discovering his true purpose - that Gerald intended him to be a protector of the planet - Shadow has become much more heroic and wants to turn other 'living weapons' like him (such as Metal Sonic) to the side of good instead of destroying them. While not always friendly, he has opened up somewhat to others, though he does not readily admit it because of his own pride. For all his moodiness and self-confidence, he is more accepting of outside help and working as part of a team. While he still misses Maria, he holds her memory in high esteem and no longer obsesses over his past. But the past will someday comeback to haunt him.

'I gave you life, and this is how you repay me? The irony of it is, I gave you life. And now, I'll take it back. - black doom
Black Doom (ブラックドゥーム Burakku Dūmu?) is the primary antagonist from the game Shadow the Hedgehog, created bySega Studios USA. Black Doom is the leader of the Black Armsand also is likely meant to serve as Shadow's arch-nemesis, similar to what Dr. Eggman is for Sonic.
Black Doom has a very menacing appearance. Black Doom, unlike the rest of his species, has three glowing red eyes, and twin horns sticking out of either side of his head; he is decorated with a worn robe, chains with spiked ornaments, and jewels around the top of his robe. He has a very deep voice that presents an echoing effect and appears very aged, claiming to be immortal. He stated that he ruled the universe at one point, but this is probably saying that he was the strongest known being in the universe at that point. His appearance alone has a certain presence of dark aura.
HistoryEditEdit
Shadow the HedgehogEditEdit
[1]ConceptBlack Doom is the sinister leader of the Black Arms and the oldest member of his alien species. The Black Arms are Black Doom's own spawn and appear to operate with an insect-like hive intelligence, seemingly preventing any attempts to challenge Black Doom for rulership. He claims that the Black Arms have visited Earth for at least as far back as 2000 years. It is currently unknown just how much of an effect he has had on Earth's history, although the bird-shaped ruins in Glyphic Canyon and Sky Troops are revealed to be flying temples transported to Earth by Black Doom over two thousand years ago to be used as weapons. He presents an almost religious front and shows little respect for humanity due to its sins against each other and the planet Earth. In fact, his philosophy is little more than egotistical justification for his own dark deeds. He wants to enslave the humans (and likely everyone else on the planet) and use them as food for him and his army.
Black Doom appeared at the beginning of the game as a hologram projected by Doom's Eye (his third eye) to inform Shadow the Hedgehog as he was thinking to himself about his troubled past. Black Doom claimed that 'the day of reckoning' has arrived. Just then, a big invasion of the Black Arms began to fall from the sky in a vortex of dark, swirling storm clouds and Westopolis was under attack. Shadow figures that Black Doom will reveal his past if he plays along by what he says, so he rushes into the city to seek out Black Doom. Shadow listens to Black Doom all around the game. Black Doom uses Shadow throughout the game in order to retrieve the seven Chaos Emeralds for him. He commanded his army to attack six major cities around the world in search of the emeralds and in order to weaken Earth's defenses. He continuously pressures Shadow to denounce the home he has made on Earth and swear allegiance to the Black Arms and their goals. He often tries to accomplish this by trying to manipulate Shadow into believing that no good can come from the continued existence of humanity, offering to tell him about his past, and even goes so far as to put Shadow into a recreation of what happened to him on theSpace Colony ARK to better justify the evil humans are capable of. Black Doom's plans included the taking of the ARK for his nefarious desires. Once the ARK was seized control of, Black Doom took control of the Eclipse cannon and used it to destroy Central City, where the president was currently residing. He did this so that it may be used as the site for the Black Comet to root in with the planet. His other plans included strengthening his armies by reawakening the temples, which were actually flying fortresses, destroying the human's data base, wiping out all the world leaders, destroying the humans military bases, and planting the Black Arms plants around the world to slowly transform the planet into a blood ridden wasteland.
As the player proceeds through the game, they learn more about Black Doom's motive and his connection to Shadow. 50 years prior to the game, Black Doom formed a sort of alliance with Gerald Robotnik. He and Gerald created the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow, in order to expand Gerald's research and help Black Doom retrieve the Chaos Emeralds. Shadow was created from Black Doom's blood. However, Gerald realized the threat his new alliance presented to Earth and secretly planned to use Shadow and the newly built Eclipse Cannon to destroy the Black Comet when it made its next regular 50 year visit. However, soon after the events detailed in Sonic Adventure 2 occurred, Gerald's initial plan was forgotten as he sunk into grief and madness.
When Shadow gains all of the Chaos Emeralds, Black Doom steals them, and reveals that he needed them all to amplify his Chaos Control to full power so that he can warp the Black Comet to Earth. The comet's own velocity was not fast enough and so he needed the Emeralds to perform a mass Chaos Control so that he could root the comet to Earth and use it to unleash a paralyzing nerve gas on the planet's population to make them food for his Black Arms spawn, starting with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge and Eggman. Shadow's inherited genetics from Doom make him the only other creature on the planet capable of resisting the effects of the gas. Retreating to his inner sanctum at the very center of the comet, Black Doom defends himself from his advancing offspring with a perimeter of his most elite Black Arms soldiers. When Shadow reaches him, Black Doom finally reveals the truth of Shadow's parentage but is soon after interrupted by a 50 year old transmission of Gerald from the Space Colony ARK, accidentally activated by the Chaotix Detective Agency, made up of Espio, Charmy, and Vector. The transmission reveals to the world Gerald's secret plan to destroy the Black Comet and gives Shadow the resolve to defeat the tyrant. Before he can attack, Black Doom teleports outside and transforms into his most powerful form -Devil Doom. Shadow uses the left behind Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Shadow and give chase to Devil Doom. The two engage in a final battle for the Earth, in the sky over the rooted Black Comet. Shadow is ultimately able to defeat Devil Doom, sending him tumbling down to the city below. It was left unknown as to whether or not Doom was killed by this but considering his claim to be immortal, he may have survived. Though seeing as he has only made an appearance in this game, it is unlikely he will appear again and he is most likely dead.
Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)EditEdit
[2]Black Doom in the Archie Sonic ComicsThe Archie-published Sonic the Hedgehog comic book has recently begun aShadow the Hedgehog adaption. In it, Black Doom was revealed to have had a similar role to the one in the game. Gerald warned in a journal entry that Black Doom would return, but both he and the Black Arms were at the time contending with a rival group of conquering aliens, the Xorda.
AbilitiesEditEdit
[3]Doom's EyeWhilst few would challenge Black Doom, he has numerous abilities which make him a fearsome foe for those who would dare. For important long range communication, Black Doom can send his third eye (simply known as 'Doom's Eye') forth to do various tasks that would require him while he is away. Doom's Eye can speak, and can project holograms of Black Doom, which possess many of Doom's abilities, as well.
Above all, he can levitate/float which seems to be his primary method of mobility. Especially since he appears to have no legs, even when transformed into Devil Doom. One of his abilities is to use the Chaos Emeralds to induce Chaos Control, which he can use at the same skill level as Shadow. He also seems to be able to phase right through solid objects.
Black Doom possesses a large amount of mystical abilities. He can telepathically give someone like Shadow the illusion of going back to another time and place, and can sense energies along with a person's presence, thoughts, emotions, and inner sense of being. He also possesses a mental link with Shadow due to Shadow being created from him; he failed in his attempt to use mind control on Shadow. He is also capable of telepathy, as there were a few incidents where he communicated with Shadow or multiple people yet was no where to be seen, and he also uses telepathy through Doom's Eye.
In battle, Black Doom can summon flaming meteor strikes and blades of fire and hurl them towards enemies with devastating force. His aim with these weapons is recognized by many characters as having deadly precision, along with 'Swift Strike', an energy boomerang which spins around at floor level and bounces against obstacles.
Devil DoomEditEdit
Devil Doom is the powered-up form of Black Doom, who appears as the final boss of Shadow the Hedgehog. Black Doom can transform seemingly without needing the Chaos Emeralds or any other external power source to do so. While he is in Devil Doom form, he still can use the Chaos Emeralds for Chaos Control but adds the abilities to seemingly telekinetically rip up entire roads and buildings and hurl them at Super Shadow. He can also breathe fire and summon some kind of laser firing rocks.
Personality EditEdit
Black Doom is presented as a highly ruthless, sadistic, and power hungry tyrant. He regards humans as pathetic creatures that have led to the destruction of their own planet. Black Doom has absolutely no affection or sympathy for anybody or anything, including his own army and his son Shadow. He gladly took the lives of his own army in order to destroy Central City, the city he choose for the site of the comet when it was teleported down via chaos control. Black Doom has a dark lord persona in which he committed horrible atrocities throughout the story, such as attacking six cities and murdering millions, blowing up Central City, and torturing the humans and having his army eat them. He also doesn't tolerate any kind of mistake or failure, no matter how difficult the task on Shadow's part may be.
Black Doom's plans for the planet Earth extend much further than simply controlling the planet. His main goal is to take control of the planet and then have him and his armies feed off the humans so that his army will be invincible. According to Doom, once the planet is under his control, the humans will never see the sun again and the planet will cease to be blue. It seems Doom wants to conquer the planet as a step closer to conquering the entire universe. He sees the humans as fools who have committed crimes against themselves, and believes that he is actually trying to save them. His interpretation of saving them, however, is using them as a food supply. He believes that is their only purpose now and enabling them to become that is the same as saving them.
While Doom claims that he has Shadow's best interest, he really does not care for him and cares only for his usefulness. He often tried to manipulate Shadow's emotions in order to turn him against humanity, but this caused Shadow to see Black Doom as his ultimate enemy in the end. Doom sees Shadow as his gateway to the emeralds and his unusual skills would make him a great addition to the army. Doom often used Shadow to do tasks that would give him an advantage, such as destroying the data base so information could no longer be transferred among the humans, awaking the temples to be used as weapons, and even attempting to assassinate the president.
Unlike other Sonic villains, Black Doom lacks a dry sense of humor or any humor at all it seems. He claims that he not only rules the universe, but that he is the strongest being in the universe as well, proving himself to be quite arrogant. Despite all this power he is still defeated by Super Shadow, which ironically was his fault, as he left the Chaos Emeralds with Shadow when he warped away to transform to Devil Doom, believing their power was useless against him. He reconsiders this during the final battle, saying he'd underestimated the Emeralds' powers.

TriviaEditEdit
- Although he does not have a role in the game, Black Doom appears as a trio of collectible cards in Sonic Rivals; Black Doom, Doom's Eye, and Devil Doom.
- Black Doom (as Devil Doom) is the first villain Super Shadow battles and defeats on his own.
- For reasons unknown, Black Doom still appears to aid Shadow even when he takes the hero's side of the story up to the point where he fights him.
- Black Doom's clothing and necklace somewhat bear a resemblance to Wizeman the Wicked from another Sonic Team franchise, NiGHTS into Dreams. They also share a 'blood relation' to their respective protagonists. In Wizeman's appearance a few years later, in NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, he had a voice very similar to Black Doom. The two also share a similar power, in that Black Doom can send his third eye to watch people, whereas Wizeman uses one of his many hands, which have eyes in the palms.
- The way Devil Doom falls after he is defeated by Shadow is similar to Metal Overlord's defeat in Sonic Heroes. Although while Metal Sonic is confirmed to survive, Black Doom is presumably killed in the battle.

Shadow The Hedgehog and venom
It all started in a planet Black Doom is in a meeting with an alien named White Purist.
“You were supposed to conquer earth and yet you failed” says White Purist.
“I was almost successful” says Black Doom.
White purist slaps Black Doom
“Almost isn’t good enough, I should have known your kind would be weak” says White Purist.
“I face full responsibility for my failure” says Black Doom.
“Yes, you do but I actually blame myself I am going to do it personally” says White Purist.
Meanwhile on earth Shadow the hedgehog is looking at the sun. Then Rouge the bat shows up.
“How much longer are you going to keep staring at the sun” says Rouge.
“Not long enough” says Shadow.
Then, they spotted Eclipse the darkling.
“What is he doing here?” says Rouge.
“I don’t know but we are going to find out: says Shadow.
And with that they follow Eclipse.
Meanwhile, Eddie Brock is at the store getting some medicine.
“Okay just one should do it” says Eddie.
Then Eclipse was behind Eddie
“Give me those medicines human” says Eclipse.
“Look, I don’t want any trouble okay” says Eddie.
“Just give me the medicine” says Eclipse.
“Listen, there is plenty for everyone here so just calm down and get your own” says Eddie.
“GIVE ME THAT MEDICINE NOW” shouted Eclipse.
Eclipse shoved Eddie on the ground and tried to grab the medicine butEddie grabs and pulls the medicine back and quickly turns into Venom.
“You pick a fight on us have it your way” says Venom.
Shadow and Rouge showed up
“Eclipse what are you doing here?” says Shadow.
“You, this is not a good time” says Eclipse.
“What is that thing?” says Rouge looking at Venom.
“We are Venom” he says.
“I don’t have time for this” says Eclipse.
He grabs the medicine and is about to teleport back to his planet but Shadow, Rouge and Venom grabs him and teleports them to another planet.
“What is this planet?” says Rouge.
“It is the home planet of the Black Arms” says Eclipse.
“The Planet of the Black Arms? I’ve seen better” says Rouge.
“Is Black Doom up to something?” says Shadow.
“I don’t have to answer that, anyway I got what I came for” says Eclipse.
And with that he runs off.
“You steal from us, you are not getting away” says Venom.
Venom chases after Eclipse and Shadow and Rouge follows them. After a few minutes of chasing they come across a tree. Eclipse goes to the tree and he saw a house. He goes to the house and he sees Black Doom.
“Black Doom I got the medicine” says Eclipse.
“You came back from earth I told you to never come back from there” says Black Doom.
“I know but in your condition I had no choice” says Eclipse.
“Even so you have been followed” says Black Doom.
Then Shadow, Rouge and Venom had appeared.
“Black Doom, so it is you? says Shadow.
“What is it that you want? Can’t you see already been defeated?” says Black Doom.
“You re-stole what is ours we want it back” says Venom.
“Not a chance” says Eclipse.
“Give it back to him, that thing is pointless” says Black Doom.
“Venom grabs the medicine and quickly changes back to Eddie Brock.
“Okay, how did you do that?” says Rouge.
“I got a parasite inside of me” says Eddie.
Suddenly, flying saucers a appear and quickly grabs the house.
“What’s happening now?” says Shadow.
“You have all been spotted by the white hands” says Black Doom.
“The White Hands? What are those?” says Eddie.
“They are like us but higher rankings” says Eclipse.
The flying saucer takes them to the city and the group goes outside and they saw White Purist.
“So, I see you bring some outsiders” says White Purist.
“They followed me” says Eclipse.
“And how did they follow you” says White Purist.
“I came to earth and tried to get some medicine” says Eclipse.
White Purist slaps Eclipse
“You actually think I care about Black Doom? After his failure he deserves to die and get tortured” says White Purist.
“So, it was you sent Black Doom to try to conquer earth” says Shadow.
White Purist looks at Shadow
“It is true I did promise him that if could conquer the planet I will let his people free, it took so many years that he actually found a planet but once he found the planet he failed”. Says White Purist.
“You are even worst than Black Doom and I won’t let you get away”. Says Shadow.

White Purist grabs Shadow by the throat
“That color it such an ugly thing to look at I can’t stand it”. Says White Purist.
Eddie turns back into Venom and bites White Purist’s hand
“Oh, so you bonded with a human they are so easy to control”. Says White Purist.
“But we agree on one thing you talk too much” says Venom.
“Guards! Dispose of them” says White Purist.
Shadow grabs Rouge and Venom and use Chaos control to teleport them away.
“Find them and bring me their heads”. Says White Purist.
Meanwhile, the three teleport into a small village
“Well, she is pretty snotty”. Says Rouge.
Shadow looks at Venom
“I need you to change back to” says Shadow.
Venom turns back into Eddie
“So, what do you want?” says Eddie.
“You keep saying we, what is that all about?” Says Shadow.
“Well, I got this thing called a symbiote” says Eddie.
“I have heard about these things they control the body” says Rouge.
“It is not completely bad” says Eddie.
“How long did you keep that thing on you” says Shadow.
“A very long time” says Eddie.
Then the village chief saw them
“Oh, I see we have visitors” says the village chief.
“Do you know anything about the white hands?” Says Shadow.
“Yes, I will explain more come inside” says the village chief.
So, they both go inside and sit down on a chair
“So, do you know who White Purist is? Asks Shadow.
“She is the leader of this planet she claims her race is the superior of them all and looks at other life forms as inferior” says the village chief.
“So, she is a racist?” says Eddie.
“Yes” says the village chief.
Suddenly, flying saucers are coming
“Oh no, they are coming!” says the village chief.
The white hands walk to the village
“We are looking for three life forms” says one of the white hands.
“What are their crimes?” asks the chief.
“For being inferior life forms” says one of the white hands.
Shadow walks in
“You call us inferior life forms?” says Shadow.
“Of course you are now come with us” says one of the white hands.
Shadow punches one of the white hands in the face
“Blast him!” says one of the white hands.
One by one Shadow defeats the white hands. One of the white hands grabs a villager and points a blaster at him.
“Stop right there or this villager dies!” says one of the white hands.
But Venom grabs the blaster and the soldier
“You come here again, in fact if we see you harming innocent creatures, we eat both your arms, your legs and them eat your face” says Venom.
One of the soldiers tried to break free but Venom throws him to the ground.
“The white hands will not forget about this” says the chief.
“If they are anything like the black arms then we need to stop them” says Shadow.
“And we will bite their heads off” says Venom.
“You need to keep that symbiote under control” says Shadow.
“We are in control” says Venom.
And with that the three go to the city, Meanwhile, White Purist is looking at herself in the mirror.
“My face, my skin and my looks is perfect” says White Purist.
Then one of her guards appears
“Our forces that are looking for the life forms have been defeated” says her guards.
“Well, they must come here, very well then let them come” says White Purist.
Meanwhile, the three go into the sewer of the city
“Why do we have to go in to the sewer?” says Rouge.
“They least expect us if we come up from there” says Shadow.
They quickly make it out of the sewer and they get to a military base
“What is all this?” says Rouge.
“They must be the weapons” says Shadow.
Suddenly Eclipse and Black Doom appear.
“Yes, the weapons that conquer planets” says Black Doom.
“These are the weapons that you use to try to conquer earth” says Shadow.
“Yes, these weapons are far superior than earths” says Black Doom.
“And yet you didn’t, you were defeated easily” says Venom.
“Don’t you talk to him that way its time to get rid of you permanently” says Eclipse.
And with that Shadow and Venom fight Eclipse and Black Doom.
After a few minutes of fighting Eclipse and Black Doom end up on the ground.
“No, not again!” says Black Doom. He started to get up.
“No, you are not fully recovered yet” says Eclipse.
“I don’t care what happens to me as longest I have victory” says Black Doom.
Venom turns back into Eddie Brock.
“Why are you doing this man” says Eddie.
“There is so much you don’t understand so why should I waste my time explaining it to you human” says Black Doom.
“Because it is better if you just get it out of your system” says Eddie.
Black Doom looks at Eclipse and begins to sigh
“There are two species in this planet the white hands and the black arms. One has life has life handed to him on a silver platter and the other one has to get his hands dirty to survive. That is my kind to be precise. White Purist promised me if I can conquer a planet and bring their life forms then we will be free” Says Black Doom.
“So that is why you came to earth?” says Shadow.
“The whole reason is just trying to get you people free” says Eddie.
“Don’t waste your petty on me human, the fact still remains that I tried to conquer your planet and I do not need your forgiveness” says Black Doom.
“You are not the only person that did some terrible stuff, I have done some bad things with this parasite of mine” says Eddie.
Suddenly, White Purist and her guards appeared
“Useless !, I should have done it personally” says White Purist slapping Black Doom.
“How dare you do that to him, we the Black arms serve you and this is how you repay us” says Eclipse.
“I decide who is useful and worthless” says White Purist.
Shadow attacks White Purist but White Purist grabs him by the leg and throws him on the ground her guards stun Rouge and Eddie.
“You are all invited to see the invasion of Earth and this time there is no one that will be able to save these earthlings” says White Purist.
He ordered her guards to take what the three to the dungeon
“And as for you two” white purist says to Eclipse and Black Doom.
“Throw these two also to the dungeon” she says to her guards.
“You witch!” says Eclipse.
While in the dungeon the three look outside
“Well, this is a fine way to go” says Rouge.
“Hey, don’t give up just yet these things are nothing” says Eddie turning into Venom and breaks the chains.
“Now that’s out of the way we are going to have to go to White Purist and stop her” says Shadow.
Venom turns back to Eddie and looks at Eclipse and Black Doom in their cell
“Was it this time Human? Came to gloat?” says Black Doom.
“Not exactly” says Eddie as he turns into Venom and breaks the cell.
“What is this?” says Eclipse.
“Just for something for you to think” says Venom.
And with that the three go to White Purist.
Meanwhile, White Purist is looking towards her ships
“At last I will conquer the earth unlike those Black Arms that failed miserably I will succeed” says White Purist.

Suddenly, Shadow, Rouge and Venom appeared
“You three are really more persistent than I thought for a bunch of lower life forms” says White Purist.
“This is where it all ends” says Shadow.
“You think you can stop me, you are part of Black Doom, a part of inferior creatures and the humans are even more inferior” says White Purist.

“Say how do we get back?” says Rouge.
