**Shady** is the leader of the Mercenaries in Animator vs Animation. He is first seen in Animator vs Animation VI, but is unknown when his last appearance was yet. He appears to have no superhuman abilities like the rest of their fellow mercenaries, but he has a UI interface gadget that allows him to efficiently use weapons similar to tools in Adobe Animate, allowing him to wield weapons of their own making.

He is a skilled martial artist, being able to overwhelm the Second Coming with ease, as well as a marksman.

## History

#### Wanted - Animator vs Animation VI - Ep 1

*Main article:* Animator vs Animation VI

In the beginning of this episode, Shady was with the other Mercenaries on scooters chasing The Chosen One trying to track him down. Shady was following him with the other Mercenaries by his side. Eventually, he looks around for The Chosen One when The Chosen One enters in the PC. The Chosen One, along with The Second Coming, lands in a forest and the Mercenaries follow them. Shady pulls out his gun and tries to find The Chosen One.

The Second Coming refused to fight the Mercenaries, being afraid of them and not remembering how to use his powers, but The Chosen One pulls him out to do it anyway. Shady spots the orange stick figure and the Mercenaries point their guns at him and attempt to shoot him. Seeing that he failed to use his powers, The Chosen One takes The Second Coming for flight into the air, attempting to escape. Shady uses his UI gadget and zooms in to use close range and shoot the two stick figures. When the stick figures fall seeing that one of the bullets caught The Chosen One, Shady tells the Mercenaries to catch them. The Mercenaries points their guns at The Second Coming. The Second Coming uses the drawing pencil and draws a eel to attack the Mercenaries. The Mercenaries shoot the eel, attempting to kill it. Shady tells Ballista to use his supernatural powers and kill The Second Coming himself. The Second Coming throws a shark at Ballista, which he throws a ton of punches at, and swallows him.

Primal shoots arrows at The Second Coming. The Second Coming draws a rhino to get Primal, but he uses a spear to kill the rhino. And the Bathroom Sign Guy attacks The Second Coming, which he then gets taken down by a drawing of a bird. After the other Mercenaries try to attack The Second Coming, Shady stops them to deal with The Second Coming himself. Eventually, he pauses The Second Coming and takes the pencil, and when The Chosen One tries to attack Shady, he pauses him too. They carry them both and head to Victim's Organization.

Shady and the Mercenaries walk down the hallway into the elevator. The floor stops on a room where the Victim is. Shady shows a picture of the wanted sign to victim telling him that they succeeded to capture The Chosen One, waiting for his reward.

## Powers and Abilities

 File:Screenshot (3).png  Shady's only ability is his UI gadget which he can use on both of his arms. His arm gadget has certain powers such as:

* **Lasso:** Shady is able to use a blue lasso to grab anything.
* **Line:** Shady can draw a line to use as a weapon.
* **Transform:** The size of anything drawn by Shady can be enlarged.
* **Zoom:** Shady can use a magnifying tool, that attaches to his shades, to zoom in on faraway objects. This can improve his accuracy and let him spot hidden details, as seen when he used this to shoot The Chosen One who was in the air.
* **Selection:** Shady can select anything and is able to do all sorts of things, such as spinning objects or stick figures as an example.
* **Pause:** The pause tool is able to freeze stick figures in the present time, and can even freeze elements in place such as fire. He only uses it for special occasions like Alan said. This ability is Shady's most powerful tool.
* **Rectangle:** The rectangle is an ability that Shady can use as a shield.

## Appearance

Unlike the other stick figures made by Alan, Shady is shown to look a bit different. He is a thin dark grey stick figure with a white colored head and a dark grey colored outline around it. He also wears dark grey shades like some agents do.

## Personality

As seen, Shady appears to be highly trained and a fierce leader. He is shown to attack anyone that his boss tells him to, and doesn't stop until he gets what he is after. Shady is mostly calm after he gets his enemies, and can help the other Mercenaries any way he can.
