Shadow

**Shadow** is a clone of Charlie Nash infused with Psycho Power and machine technology by Shadaloo. The prototype to Shadow Lady.

## Appearance

Shadow looks exactly like Charlie Nash, but the cloning agent used to create him stains the pigments of any biological material it is used on. The result is a clone that is very dark stained. His white eyes is also a sign of the Psycho Power infused within him.

## Personality

As a form of petty revenge Shadow is imprinted with Charlie Nash’s memories and truly believes himself to be the original Charlie, being controlled by the nanites within his body. However unlike Shadow Lady the less advanced technology used to create him, meant that he was partially conscious the entire time. This made it far easier for him to accept the fact that he was a clone when the two were finally freed.

## Story

Shadow was created using a cloning accelerant stolen from a genetic research facility, named Gen-U-Tech, and was brought in for extra muscle for the Doctor. After they were successfully able to induce the Dark Ha Do within Kasumi. He and Shadow Lady were ordered to retrieve her and Shampoo. They arrived shortly after Kasumi defeated Copycat Ken. Activating their camouflage they attacked the group about to take her to the clinic. Shadow Lady attempted to take Shampoo, while Shadow Lady successfully grabbed Kasumi and escaped.

Ranma ran after him quickly followed by Herb. Thankfully for them, he was forced to stay visible as he was carrying Kasumi across his shoulder. Herb tried to it him with a chi blast, but he was easily able to evade it. Shadow was finally able to escape after jumping down a gap putting him momentarily out of sight granting him a chance to attack the two when they jumped in as well. Ranma and Herb were forced to dodge and by the time they reoriented themselves Shadow was gone.

With his pursuers gone Shadow slowed his pace, opting for a more stealthy escape as his energy reserves were beginning to be taxed. Unknown to him though Sailor Moon had chased after him as well when she confronted him he put Kasumi down and surrendered. However this was merely a distraction for Shadow Lady to knock her out. on Rose’s orders the two collected her as well. After Kasumi proved to be resistant to there manipulation Shadow and Shadow Lady along with Shadow Moon were ordered to kidnap Shampoo. Storming the Kuno mansion they made quick work the guards while Shadow Moon dealt with Makoto and Ranko.

When Saki arrived at Hotel with a group of fighter to rescue Kasumi, Shampoo, and Usagi while annoyed the Doctor assured Rose that they wouldn’t get far with the magical wards in place. That view changed when he watched Frost blast through a door which she shouldn’t be able to do. He realized that she must have had one of the neutralizing keys. With about 20 minutes estimated before the group found the stones, Rose ordered for Shadow, Shadow Lady and Shadow Moon to stop or delay them.

After the group was divided by a trap Ranma, Sakura, Herb and Ryoga did there best to defend themselves from Shadow’s invisible attacks. Luckily Izou was there and while he was instantly knocked out he did manage to make Shadow visible. Sadly with Sakura already injured, it had largely fallen to the three boys to take the clone down, but without their full strength, Shadow was more than a match for even the combined efforts.

As Ranma and Herb were recovering Ryoga was taken out. Shadow’s attacks were two quick to dodge at close range and they couldn’t get enough to do any real damage. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t seemed be getting fatigued allowing him to slowly but surely wear them down. Eventually Ranma noticed Shadow used intricate moments when attacked so he and Herb led goaded him back towards one of the earlier traps they had gotten past in order to prevent him from moving. Shadow followed them into the water which made his movements sluggish allowing the two to take advantage and knock him out.

Shadow regained consciousness outside and was almost immediately seized by Mint and Lime, as Shadow Lady had awoken shortly before him and tried to stop Rose from being arrested. By this point Kasumi had regained consciousness as well and since she still had control over the nanobots from when Rose possessed her, freed Shadow and Shadow Lady from their control. Since it was Rose being corrupted by the Psycho Power and not Bison Chun Li agreed not to arrest them, but they still needed to be taken in for observation.

Shadow and Shadow Lady ended up departing without permission. Rose has kept in contact with them intermittently, and though they both still struggle to a degree with their existence they are working through it together.

## Abilities

Shadow is a prototype built using the same technology used to build the Psycho Drive. Specialized nanobots invade and control his body. However since he was build to simply prove the concept his moves are mostly unchanged from Charlie's.
