Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Shadow the Hedgehog is a major character in the franchise. 
He was created as the "Ultimate Lifeform" by Professor Gerald Robotnik. Shadow is ageless and immortal, however, that doesn't mean that he does not feel pain. Since his debut, Shadow has appeared in a multitude of games, television shows, and comic books. Shadow is Sonic's arch-rival yet frenemy and the leader of Team Dark, with Rouge and Omega.
His past was, for the most part, almost a complete mystery until the game Shadow the Hedgehog revealed the events surrounding his creation. In contrast to Sonic, Shadow is typically portrayed as a tortured, or a renegade who can just as easily serve the forces of evil as those of good. However, he does what he needs to do to accomplish what he knows to be right. According to an official poll, Shadow is the second most popular character in the series, second only to Sonic himself.
He is currently voiced by in the Japanese version, and by , and currently in the English version.
==Biography==
Shadow was created 50 years before Sonic Adventure 2, with a project called Project Shadow in the works. Led by Professor Gerald Robotnik, it was a government-sanctioned initiative to create "The Ultimate Lifeform," an immortal being that could be used for the benefit of the nation, likely in a militaristic fashion. While Gerald had initial misgivings to the purpose of the research he was assigned to, he realized that his results might be able to save his granddaughter, Maria. Suffering from the incurable disease Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Maria only had a short time left to live, and Gerald was willing to do whatever it took to save her life. Going against his worries of stepping into territory man had no business playing with, the professor immediately began work, hoping that he could apply any newly gained knowledge to find a cure to N.I.D.S.
Even with the resources at his disposal, Professor Gerald was unable to make significant progress. Without alerting anyone, Gerald decided to plea to the stars for help, contacting the Black Arms race, an alien civilization that lived upon the Black Comet, a celestial object that passed near the planet every 50 years. Its leader, Black Doom, offered to assist Gerald in his quest. He offered his blood - which ended up being the key to perfect the ultimate lifeform - in exchange for the seven Chaos Emeralds, which he would collect the next time he passed through. Knowing that the Black Arms' intentions were less than desirable, Gerald made the deal regardless, albeit with preparations to defeat the Black Arms with the cannon built into the ARK, and was able to successfully create Shadow the Hedgehog.
Once brought to life, Shadow immediately befriended Maria, and they became close during their short time together. Gerald, meanwhile, made precautions for the return of the Black Arms, ensuring that the Eclipse Cannon - an extremely powerful laser built into the ARK - was compatible with the seven Chaos Emeralds, so that when they did return with the Black Comet, humanity would be able to defend itself instead of bowing to their whims.
However, Gerald's progress was ruined when it was leaked to G.U.N. how he was able to create the successful prototype. During the meeting between Gerald and the Black Arms, one of the other children aboard the ARK had accidentally seen what transpired and reported back to those in charge. As ties between the ARK and the United Federation had already been strained, hearing the news of the dealings with an alien race scared those in charge. Afraid of the implications, it was decided to launch an invasion and put a stop to the work being done there.
What happened next was nothing short of madness, as G.U.N. troops descended onto the ARK, causing chaos and confusion wherever they went. Immediately they went after the Biolizard, which they thought was the successful "Project Shadow" prototype, and in the process of putting the creature into stasis, lost quite a few soldiers. From there they went about doing damage control, shutting down everything, getting everyone off the ARK, and killing those who resisted if need be. Knowing that the G.U.N. forces would be there at any moment, Maria convinced Shadow to enter an escape pod, her final wish to him that he gives the people on the planet a chance to be happy. Wishing him goodbye, Shadow could do nothing as he watched the G.U.N. soldiers' storm into the lab, firing a shot which would forever change the hedgehog's life as it ended the life of Maria Robotnik.
Learning of his granddaughter's death, Professor Gerald soon went mad with grief, swearing vengeance on humanity for taking away the only thing that ever meant anything to him. Though just what exactly transpired is cloudy, what is known is that both Gerald and the escape pod that held Shadow were gathered by G.U.N., Shadow having to be put to sleep in a stasis capsule within Prison Island, and Gerald being incarcerated and charged with the crimes that happened aboard the ARK.

===Shadow the Hedgehog===
Shadow serves as the titular main protagonist of this game, where he attempts to find out his true past. When Black Doom and his army of aliens, the Black Arms, invaded, and Black Doom told Shadow that he held the answers, and that he should help him take over the world and bring the seven Chaos Emeralds to him, Shadow was reluctant to obey Black Doom, but realized the Chaos Emeralds might have the answers. There are many different paths Shadow can take: Throughout the game, Shadow can choose to help Black Doom, the heroes, sometimes Eggman, or else not help anyone and go straight for the Chaos Emeralds. Because of this, the game has ten normal endings, though the true ending is unlocked by viewing all of them. The endings are split up into a Dark Path and Hero Path with Shadow facing a boss at the end once he finishes that choice:
* In the Pure Dark path with the sixth level being GUN Fortress, if Shadow chooses to help Rouge, he faces Black Doom, angered that Shadow would betray the Black Arms at the last minute when G.U.N. was on its last legs. If Shadow destroys G.U.N.'s mother computers and cuts off their ability to summon reinforcements to protect the base, Sonic and the Commander, piloting the G.U.N. mech Diablon, face him in a final stand to stop Black Doom from attaining ultimate victory.
* In the Semi-Dark path with the level Black Comet, if Shadow helps Knuckles, he faces Eggman in the Egg Dealer. If he chooses to help Black Doom and destroy G.U.N.'s forces assaulting the Black Comet, Sonic and the Commander, in the Diablon, face Shadow in a final stand to stop Black Doom from winning.
* In the Neutral path with the level Lava Fortress, joined by E-123 Omega, Shadow faces Eggman in the Egg Dealer, no matter which path he chooses.
* In the Semi-Hero path with the level Cosmic Fall, if Shadow helps Vector, he faces Black Doom after the dark prophet admits to having been involved in Shadow's creation, thus why people refer to Shadow as the "Evil One". If Shadow helps Black Doom, he faces Eggman in the Egg Dealer, who refuses to let Shadow tarnish Professor Robotnik's legacy.
* In the Pure Hero path with the sixth level being Final Haunt, if Shadow helps Black Doom defend the Black Comet from the inevitable counterattack by G.U.N., he faces Sonic and the Commander in the Diablon, only wishing to prove who is the stronger hedgehog between Sonic and Shadow. If Shadow helps Sonic, they face Black Doom together, with Shadow vowing to uphold the promise he made to Maria Robotnik to protect the Earth.
===Sonic 06===
Shadow's story begins as he infiltrates Eggman's White Acropolis base to locate Rouge, who had infiltrated the base earlier, but G.U.N. has lost contact with her. After he finds her and they escape together, dealing with Eggman's Egg Cerberus that was blocking their way out, they arrive in Soleanna New City, with Rouge in possession of the Scepter of Darkness. When they attempt to meet up with Rouge's G.U.N. contacts in Kingdom Valley, they are confronted by Eggman. In the scuffle, the Scepter is broken, freeing Mephiles the Dark from his imprisonment within it. Using Shadow's shadow to gain physical form, Mephiles then banishes Shadow and Rouge to the apocalyptic future of Soleanna where it and the world have been devastated by Iblis, the Flames of Disaster, and turned into a literal Hell on Earth. Soon meeting up with Team Sonic in the ruins of Eggman's White Acropolis base in that time period, they then work together to find two Chaos Emeralds so Sonic and Shadow can use Chaos Control together to generate a time portal to return to the present. However, after dealing with Iblis and getting the Emeralds, Shadow remains behind in the future, and finds Omega. After learning of how humanity will turn against him, Shadow later returns to the present himself, and later rescues Sonic from being killed by Silver. When Silver is unable to counter Shadow's Chaos Control with his psychokinesis, he tries to use a Chaos Emerald himself against Shadow, but their attempts to use Chaos Control simultaneously results in opening a time portal that allows the two hedgehogs to travel 10 years into the past to see the origins of Iblis and Mephiles as a result of the Solaris Project going catastrophically wrong.
As a result, Silver returns to the present to help Sonic, while Shadow rejoins Rouge and Omega to find and deal with Mephiles, acquiring a new Scepter of Darkness to try and imprison him again, but Mephiles easily escapes the second attempt to imprison him as he was too powerful now to be trapped in the Scepter a second time. Taking on a crystalline form from his Shadow-like appearance, he then summons hundreds of clones to fight Team Dark. Shadow, taking off his Limiters, and with Rouge and Omega backing him up, plows headfirst into the melee to show the Mephiles clones his full power.
By the time it is over, there is no sign of Mephiles. Only then, Team Dark is dragged into a pocket dimension where they find Eggman, Silver, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, and also Princess Elise cradling a lifeless Sonic, having been murdered in cold blood by Mephiles so that Elise would free Iblis and Mephiles could reunite with Iblis and become Solaris once more to bring about the end of the space-time continuum. As everyone fears that Solaris is unstoppable with Sonic dead, Elise senses he might still be able to be resurrected, and Team Dark join everyone else with finding the Chaos Emeralds. Once all seven are collected, Elise revives Sonic, turning him into Super Sonic. Sharing his power with Shadow and Silver to turn them into Super Shadow and Super Silver, the three hedgehogs face off with Solaris, and manage to destroy his consciousness, slaying Mephiles once and for all, and causing Solaris to implode and revert back into the tiny flame that he was born from. Sonic and Elise then travel 10 years into the past, and Elise sees to Solaris' death once and for all by blowing him out, thus altering the timeline with Solaris' extinction.
===Sonic X Shadow: Generations===
===Sonic Forces===
In "Episode Shadow", Shadow and the rest of Team Dark are investigating one of Eggman's facilities that seems too heavily guarded for being out in the boondocks. When Omega charges in headfirst without waiting for Shadow, Shadow tries to catch up to him, but soon hears Omega engaging an emergency withdrawal before the signal with him goes dead. Only afterwards does Shadow encounter Infinite, who reveals that he and Shadow have met before.
During an earlier raid on Eggman's lab in the Mystic Jungle, Shadow had easily dispatched the elite Jackal Squad that Eggman hired to defend his lab. When their captain arrived to fight him and avenge his squadmates, Shadow easily overpowered him, called him weak and pathetic, and warned him not to face him again before teleporting away with Chaos Control to continue his mission. Unknown to Shadow, when the captain saw he was shaking with fear, that, combined with Shadow's insults, caused the captain to snap in a psychotic meltdown, declaring he was not weak. As a result, the captain agreed to be granted use of Eggman's perfected Phantom Ruby Prototype, and in that moment, the captain was reborn as Infinite.
Infinite then tests his new power with trapping Shadow in a virtual reality of Green Hills, attacking him with all manner of what he could manifest against the Ultimate Life Form, all while having Shadow deal with radio reports from Rouge and Omega, with Omega soon repeating Infinite's madness mantra from when Shadow originally defeated him, causing Shadow to clutch his head in pain. When it was all over, impressed by his new power, Infinite took his leave from Shadow, laughing manically and taunting Shadow that not even Sonic would stand a chance against him. Before Shadow could follow, Rouge contacted him to warn him that the base was about to blow and to evacuate immediately. With no other option available, Shadow retreated just in time.
As he and Rouge discussed things later, Rouge mentioned Eggman having launched an assault on the City, but Sonic was on his way to help. However, Shadow was haunted by the last thing Infinite told him about Sonic, and soon Rouge reported that Sonic was in trouble. Before Shadow could come to his aid, Sonic was bested in battle by Infinite and taken prisoner aboard the rebuilt Death Egg.
Come the main game, six months after Infinite defeated Sonic, morale is low among the people, and the Resistance led by Knuckles, including Silver, Amy, and the Chaotix, alongside Rouge and Shadow, are struggling to fight the Eggman Empire, with Eggman in control of 99% of the planet. Joined by a new recruit, the Resistance manages to rescue Sonic from the Death Egg and begin to make headway against the Eggman Empire. Shadow later shows up personally to save Sonic from a Shadow Replica created by Infinite that was about to attack him in Sunset Heights in the City. Afterwards, Shadow explains about the Replicas to the Resistance, and from there, an attempt to attack Eggman's capital of Metropolis fails thanks to Infinite arriving to throw the attack into disarray. Realizing they need to neutralize Infinite's Phantom Ruby powers, the Resistance goes after the Death Egg. Once it is destroyed, they attack Metropolis again, but despite Eggman being ready this time, and revealing he built a backup reactor under the Eggman Empire Fortress in case the Resistance did go after the Death Egg, the Resistance manages to capture Metropolis and prepare for the final siege on the Eggman Empire Fortress.
As Shadow joins everyone for the final assault on the Eggman Empire Fortress, they are soon rejoined by Omega, having been repaired from what happened prior, and looking for some payback on Infinite. However, Infinite launches Eggman's endgame, and creates a massive virtual sun to drop on the Resistance to wipe them out one and for all. Luckily for the Resistance, the Rookie had acquired a Phantom Ruby Prototype of their own, and used it to dispel the virtual sun, saving the Resistance from total annihilation. Even Shadow is impressed by the effort. Thanks to the Rookie, Sonic, and Sonic's classic self, Infinite is defeated, Eggman's Death Egg Robot is demolished, and the Replica army is erased, making the Resistance the ultimate victors of the War to Take Back the Planet. As a result, after Classic Sonic is returned to his dimension, Shadow joins everyone as the Resistance is officially disbanded, and everyone goes their separate ways to begin the process of rebuilding the world from the carnage the war had wrought on it.

==Personality==
Shadow was at first mysterious, cold, and initially vengeful, before turning to the side of justice. He usually acts with cool and businesslike indifference, only occasionally showing his vulnerable side. He is rarely seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from essentially everyone. He is usually soft-spoken, silent, and only speaks a few words before a fight. However, Shadow never bluffs. If he makes a threat or a promise, he has every intention of carrying it out.
Shadow's personality is the total opposite of Sonic, because while Sonic is carefree, playful, and a joker, Shadow is violent, ruthless, and aggressive. However, like Sonic, Shadow can be extremely arrogant, often belittling his opponents and insulting their lack of strength. He believes no one can beat him, and tends to see anyone as a fool for challenging him. Shadow also has a ruthless and merciless edge in combat that all other characters in the series lack, and displays a natural "killer instinct".
Shadow's infamous ruthlessness and aggression lead to fear and 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 often displays a vain and sarcastic sense of humor, and always speaks his mind no matter how cold it may be. He is also one of the more intelligent and logical characters. He was the only one who saw through Mephiles’s deception in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and tricked Eggman into fulfilling his revenge plan in Sonic Adventure 2.
On occasion, Shadow appears to have some degree of mental instability. This is demonstrated by his instances of post-traumatic flashbacks to Maria's face before and during the events of Shadow the Hedgehog, though it could be argued that they were simply an effect of his amnesia. Another example could be that in many games Shadow is featured in, he pursues his foes with disturbing determination; that is to say, he'll go to any length to accomplish something he desires or feels should be a certain way, no matter what the cost. In his own game, he also showed a rather coarse language.
Shadow also possesses some 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.
Although he does come off as somewhat cold and apathetic, Shadow is extremely compassionate and does care for the well-being of others. 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 manipulated by Black Doom to wipe out humanity. Likewise, when the GUN Commander finally confronts him with his memories of Shadow's nightmarish creation, Shadow agrees to face judgement if he was indeed responsible for the ARK massacre 50 years ago. 
Despite being a loner, Shadow is also very protective of his friends, like in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, where he went looking for Omega when he was missing and was also quite enraged when he found out that the Marauders had been hurting Omega, and agreed to join Sonic and his friends to get revenge for what they did to him.
Shadow brushes off most kindness or sympathy that is sent his way; 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 bluntly rejected his offer. At times, however, Shadow is also capable of showing gratitude. In Sonic Adventure 2, after Amy made him remember his promise to Maria, Shadow told her that he is keeping his promise both to Maria and her. Also, in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), when Rouge told him that she would always be by his side, he acknowledged her.
Even though Shadow often fights for the greater good, he is considered an anti-hero for the most part due to his morality. He does whatever is necessary to get what he wants or feels is right, though this enthusiasm causes him to take risks and jump into situations without fully thinking it through. Regardless, Shadow does have his moments of selflessness, helpfulness, and heroism. He nearly gave his life at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 to save Earth and helped Silver uncover the truth of the Solaris Project, after saving Sonic from Silver.

===Space-Time Manipulation===
Shadow can alter space-time, allowing him to distort it and to create dimensional/chaotic rifts. He can also use an ability called Chaos Control to stop or slow time around him, during which he is able to move freely of a brief period while everything is motionless, giving him the advantage of more time against his opponents. Using Chaos Control while in possession of a Chaos Emerald can allow him to teleport which can be used to give him an edge in confrontations and even avoid catastrophic time shattering events.

Shadow is very proficient in using guns, being able to effectively aim and shoot at insane speeds. He's also able to use different varieties like machine guns and handguns.
===Skilled Swordsman===

===Homing Attack===
Although not used often, Shadow has a homing attack just like Sonic and works just as efficiently.
===Transformations===
====Super Shadow====
Using all 7 Chaos Emeralds, Shadow can transform into Super Shadow, which gives him 100% physical damage reduction, faster than before and many other abilities, such as increased super strength.
====Hero & Dark Forms====
Hero Shadow boosts his space-time manipulation, allowing him to teleport to very far distances and to stop time for a longer time; He needs a Chaos Emerald and to be calm. Dark Shadow boosts his attack, grants infinite ammo to any weapon that he is currently using, and allows him to keep using Chaos Blasts; He needs one Chaos Emerald and to be enraged.
==Possessions==
===Inhibitor Rings===
Shadow has rings that control his power around his wrists and on the socks. If he removes those rings, his power increases greatly, but he loses much more stamina too.
===Darkness/Air Shoes (Extreme Gear)===
Shadow has shoes that can make him hover around the ground, and that allows him to skate rather than run, granting him more durability on races, but he is slower on some types of terrain.

==Trivia==
*Shadow seems to be ambidextrous, as he leads with his left hand in Shadow the Hedgehog and uses his right hand in the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and other games.
*Concept art's of Shadow depict him in multiple different designs, while Shadow is often looking grumpy, some show him with a happier look compared to the final version.
**Some concept art's also show him in a dark navy blue colour as apposed to black, one of them even depicts him with black sclera eyes and a red iris with the other one missing, similar to the eyes of Metal Sonic.
*Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is the only game where he and Sonic worked together without any arguments.
*Shadow (along with Knuckles) was supposed to appear in Sonic Unleashed but was scrapped (for unknown reasons). However, in one of Brenda's interview questions asking what coming from the planet's core, the player can have Sonic incorrectly answer 'Shadow the Hedgehog'.
*Shadow's line "Where's that damn fourth Chaos Emerald?" from his solo game became an Internet meme among the fans of the franchise.
**Coincidentally, in Sonic Generations, Sonic can fight Shadow for the fourth Chaos Emerald (if the character defeats Perfect Chaos beforehand).
*Shadow is one of the older characters in the series (chronologically being 50-years old). However, since he was stuck in suspended animation for most of his life and possesses eternal youth he is physically and arguably mentally 16 years old.
