==Summary==
The Shadow, also known as the Cosmic Entity or The Empty, is a mysterious being who lives in and controls the Empty, a place of nothingness predating God, Death and the Darkness.
When angels and demons die, they go to the Empty where they eternally slumber, allowing the Shadow to do the same. If even one of its charges is awake, the Shadow is awoken as well and left in pain until the awakened being is asleep again or removed from the Empty.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: The Shadow, The Empty, Friendly Neighborhood Cosmic Entity (by itself) 
Origin: Supernatural 
Gender: Genderless 
Age: Inapplicable (The Shadow is an embodiment of the Empty, which is the Void that existed before even God and Amara and the creation of the Universe and time itself) 
Classification: Cosmic Entity, Embodiement of the Empty 
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 1, 2 and 3, likely Type 5), Large Size (Type 9; vast enough that it could survive a bomb capable of destroying God and The Darkness), Higher-Dimensional Existence, Regeneration (High, reconstructed its physical form seconds after it was destroyed by Jack's detonation), Nonexistent Physiology (Nature 1 and 2; Aspect 1, 2 and 3; exists as the nothingness that predates both God and The Darkness), Telekinesis, Telepathy and Memory Manipulation (Was able to read Castiel's mind and forced him to relieve some of his most painful memories), Pain Manipulation (Its reading to Castiel's mind caused incredible pain and it later tortured him), Reality Warping, Biological Manipulation, Resurrection, Matter Manipulation (Quantum level, can create matter out of nothing, being able to recreate demon and angel vessels even if they have been completely destroyed, like it did with Castiel, whose vessel was completely destroyed), Possession (Can possess beings such as angels), possibly Madness Inducement (Type 3, claims its true form would drive an angel like Castiel insane), Power Nullification (Broke Metatron's unbreakable spell when invading the Heavens), Portal Creation (Opened a portal from the Empty into the Men of Letters' bunker to suck Castiel and Billie in), Absorption (Absorbed and subsequently killed Billie and Castiel by impaling both of them with shadowy tendrils that turned their forms into the same shadowy liquid before pulling the two of them into the Empty), Transmutation (Turned Billie and Castiel into a shadowy liquid), Enhanced Senses (Angels can see things invisible to humans and the true nature of a being and the Shadow can do it as well. Was able to sense Sam's presence in Death's Reading Room despite him being out of its line of sight), Shapeshifting (Due to its terrifying true form, the Shadow takes on the form of the being it is speaking to), Self-Sustenance (Type 1 and 2), Flight, Teleportation (Of itself and others), Dimensional Travel (Can travel between realms of the afterlife), Cosmic Awareness (Has knowledge about other worlds and events dating from before creation, showed knowledge of beings like the Darkness and her human name), Nonduality (Type 2; Exists outside the dualistic system created by God and The Darkness)
Attack Potency: Multiverse level+ (Exists as the embodiment of The Empty, a non-existent void that predates God, The Darkness and the multiverse; Billie claimed that The Empty incredibly 'vast', encompassing everything beyond what God created. Easily killed Billie, the embodiment of Death, who feared the Empty's power, dragging her into the Empty along with Castiel. Easily overpowered Jack in Heaven) 
Speed: At least Subsonic+ movement speed, with Massively Hypersonic reactions (Easily overpowered Castiel before he could react), likely higher (Killed Billie before she could react)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Vastly superior to Castiel and Reapers. Strangled Jack to the point that he was briefly unconscious with no effort), likely higher (Should be at least equal to Billie) 
Striking Strength: Multiverse level+ (Easily killed Billie, the embodiment of Death) 
Durability: Multiverse level+ (While The Shadow isn't as powerful as God or The Darkness, The Empty's sheer size allowed it to survive the full force of Jack's bomb spell, which could kill God and Amara at the same time, and reconstructed its physical form almost immediately after that) 
Stamina: Unknown, likely Infinite 
Range: Multiversal+ (Above baseline 2-A range, vast enough that it could survive a bomb capable of destroying God and The Darkness. Can reach any afterlife realm that it wants) 
Standard Equipment: None notable 
Intelligence: Above Average
Weaknesses: If even a single inhabitant is awake in the Empty, it also wakes up the Shadow from its sleep, causing it to feel pain as long as it stays awake. Cannot force something that has awakened in the Empty back to sleep. Cannot go to Earth unless it is summoned due to a limitation from God.
