Black Doom

**Black Doom**, is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is the sinister alien leader of the Black Arms and the oldest member of his species.

He presents an almost religious front and shows little respect for humanity due to its sins against each other and their home planet. Black Doom's philosophy is a little more than egotistical justification for his own dark deeds.

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 leadership.

Following his return to Mobius in the present day, he wanted to enslave the humans and use them as food for him and his army but met his defeat at the hands of Shadow.

"*I gave you life, and THIS is how you repay me! The irony of it all... is that I gave you life... NOW, I'll take it back.*"

—Black Doom, to Shadow.

### Physical Appearance

In his general appearance, Black Doom is rather menacing and un-aging with his species having otherworldly demon-esque traits. He has a black-brown legless body with three red bestial eyes, twin wide horns with red tips, a set of spines on his scalp, three-fingered paws with claws, and no lips. For attire, he wears a dark brown worn robe with black-brown shoulder pads and golden accents, a maroon drape scarf with tattoo markings hanging from the back, golden chains with a set of silver-spiked medallions possessing a gem, and a double black cord necklace with red, blue and purple ornaments on one and golden and silver pendants on the other. His telepathic voice has an echo-effect to it, and he emits an unnatural aura around himself.

## Personality

Black Doom is presented as a highly ruthless, sadistic, manipulative, and power-hungry tyrant. He regards humans as pathetic creatures that have led to the destruction of their own planet. Black Doom has neither affection nor sympathy for anybody or anything, including his own army and his creation, Shadow. He gladly took the lives of his own army in order to destroy Central City, the city he chose 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 killing millions, blowing up Central City, and torturing the humans and having his army consume their bodies. He also does not forgive any mistakes or failure, no matter how difficult the task on Shadow's part may be. Black Doom's plans for the planet extend much further than simply conquering Mobius. His main goal is to have him, and his armies feed off the humans, which he states are a great energy source for them.

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 the entire universe. He has no respect for humans, as he sees them as fools who have committed crimes against themselves and believes that he is doing them a favor by using them as a food supply for his race. While Doom claims that he has Shadow's best interest at heart, he does not care for him at all and is only interested in his power.

He often tried to manipulate Shadow 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 Chaos 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 humans' data servers so information could no longer be transferred among the humans, awakening dormant temples to be used as weapons, and even attempting to assassinate the president.

Unlike other Sonic Pokémon villains such as Eggman, Black Doom is completely devoid of any sense of humor. He is quite arrogant, claiming that he not only rules the universe, but that he is the strongest being in the universe as well (to the point of saying he is immortal). 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 reconsidered this belief during the final battle, admitting that he had underestimated the Emeralds' powers.

## Abilities and Powers

Whilst 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 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.

Black Doom can levitate/float which seems to be his primary method of mobility as he appears to have no legs, even when transformed into Devil Doom. One of his main abilities is inducing Chaos Control, which he can use with just as much proficiency as Shadow. When using all seven Chaos Emeralds, he could teleport the Black Comet down to earth from space. He is capable of teleportation and is capable of transporting others as well as he demonstrated transporting Shadow to various locations on Mobius and even into cyberspace.

He also seems to be able to phase right through solid objects. Compared to humans, Black Doom seems to have eternal youth, or at least extended longevity, as he lived for over 2000 years. His blood was used to help create Shadow, who obtained eternal life. Black Doom possesses a large amounts of mystical abilities. He can telepathically give someone like Shadow the illusion of going back to another time and place, and can sense energies, a person's presence, and their inner thoughts and emotions.

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 nowhere to be seen, and he also uses telepathy through Doom's Eye. While engaged in battle, Black Doom can summon and throw flaming meteors towards enemies with devastating force and use a vertical disc attack that can slice partially through large obstacles.

His aim with these weapons is recognized by many characters as having deadly precision, along with "Swift Strike:swift strike", a long, sideways, light-blade boomerang which spins around at floor level and bounces against obstacles.

## History

### Past

Black Doom claims that he and the Black Arms have visited earth for as far back as two thousand years. It is 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 by the Black Arms for taking over earth. Fifty years prior to the events of *Shadow Saga*, 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, giving him access to Black Doom's Chaos Control abilities. 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 fifty-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 after his granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, died during the raid on the ARK to shut down Project Shadow by GUN.
