Shadow the Hedgehog

Agent Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the main protagonists of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He appeared in the 12th episode of Death Battle, Vegeta VS Shadow, where he fought against Vegeta from the Dragon Ball series. He returned for the 63rd episode, Mewtwo VS Shadow, where he fought against Mewtwo from the Pokémon series. He returned again for the 141st episode, Shadow VS Ryuko, where he fought against Ryūko Matoi and Senketsu from the Kill la Kill series.
==History==
Created by Doctor Eggman's grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik, Shadow the Hedgehog was created to be both the ultimate lifeform and a living weapon against the alien race known as the Black Arms, made from their own DNA. Although Shadow is a powerhouse, his initial true purpose was to possess genes to cure the deathly ill, specifically Gerald's granddaughter Maria. However, before Shadow was able to be shared with the world, Maria was tragically killed. Because of this, Shadow initially sought to destroy mankind to avenge Maria's death, but ultimately chose to save the Earth after remembering her dying wish for him to give mankind a chance at happiness. He has since resurfaced with little memory of his past and now leads his own life as a wanderer, an enforcer, and a rival to the legendary Sonic the Hedgehog.
