Character Stats and Profiles Wiki

In the past, we have encouraged users to create new pages for powers and abilities they thought the wiki lacked. However, as of now, we want new pages to be approved by the staff, meaning that new powers and abilities pages must be suggested. This can be done in our official Discord server in the suggestion channel, or messaged to a staff member. Of course, users can always create blogs about powers and abilities to include in their profiles if they don't want to attempt creating official pages. Linking to other wikis' powers and abilities pages is also permitted.

Summary[]

Shadow the Hedgehog is a major hero and arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog within the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series.

A hedgehog/Black Arms hybrid created by using the DNA of Black Doom, Shadow was the final result of "Project Shadow" a experiment undertaken by Professor Gerald Robotnik to create "The Ultimate Lifeform", this creature was to assist in creating cures for incurable diseases such as the case for Gerald's granddaughter, Maria Robotnik who suffered from Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome or NIDS which forced her remain within the Space Colony ARK. During Shadow's time on the ARK he would become close friends with Maria. The Guardian Unit of Nations (G.U.N) however, perceived Shadow as a threat to humanity so they would eventually put an end to all research on the ARK by force, Shadow watched in horror as Maria was killed right before his eyes. Not long after, Shadow would be captured and placed into stasis.

50 years later, Shadow would be awakened from stasis by Dr. Eggman and join forces with him in order to activate the Eclipse Cannon aboard the ARK by using the 7 Chaos Emeralds, when in reality Shadow knew that the 7 Chaos Emerald would enact Gerald's revenge plan which would set the ARK on a collision course with Earth, an objective which he sought after as revenge for Maria's death. However, Amy would be able to convince Shadow that is his hatred towards humanity is not something that Maria would want Shadow to harbour, which would result in him aiding Sonic in defeating the Finalhazard and seemingly sacrificing his life to stop the ARK.

Exceeded Omega's expectations about his combat abilities in Heroes despite being unconscious throughout the end of Adventure 2, Advance 1, Advance 2, the beginning of Heroes and yet could still keep up with the rest of the cast. It should be noted that Omega was designed specifically to fight Shadow. Even before undergoing train at G.U.N, Shadow could expertly wield a variety of firearms, including weapons used by G.U.N, the otherworldly weaponry of the Black Arms as well as those created by Robotnik, a supergenius with an IQ which surpasses 300. Did exceptionally well in his G.U.N training, which was said to be the true test of his abilities, doing very well even early on with his results being so impressive that it reached the top brass of the organization even impressing their greatest spy/agent Rouge.

  • Violet Void: Using the power of a Violet Wisp, Shadow turns into a large, ghastly and smoky black orb with violet outlines. As the Violet Void, Shadow essentially becomes a living black hole and can draw objects into himself from a distance and make them vanish without a trace. Because of the Violet Void smoke-like makeup, Shadow is granted a degree of intangibility, allowing them to pass through obstacles unharmed. As the Violet Void, Shadow is also capable of flight through mid-air. Like the Purple Frenzy, the Violet Void can add the mass of the objects they draw into itself, allowing Shadow to grow larger the more he consumes until he reaches maximum size. Also, the more the Violet Void increases in size, the stronger its suction ability becomes, enabling Shadow to draw in bigger and heavier objects from greater distances. At maximum size, the Violet Void can draw in objects the size of the Frigate Skullian, a massive aircraft.
  • Yellow Drill: Using the power of a Yellow Wisp Shadow turns into a yellow spiral drill. As the Yellow Drill, Shadow can burrow and tunnel underground at remarkable high speeds and can be applied underwater, allowing Shadow to move through water like a living torpedo.

  • Dark Shadow: A transformed state achieved when Shadow's mind is fuelled by thoughts of evil. Once obtained this form grants him full control over negative chaos energy.

This form only lasts for a few moments, and can also be used in Shadow's Super State.
  • Hero Shadow: A transformed state achieved when Shadow's mind is fuelled by thoughts of justice. Once obtained this form grants him full control over positive chaos energy. While in this form, Shadow can perform a large-scale version of Chaos Control to increase his speed or slow down time, and can use any weapon without draining its ammo/durability. This form only lasts for a few moments, and can also be used in Shadow's Super State.
  • Chaos Boost: Shadow temporarily charges up with chaos energy, giving him a red aura, and allows use of more advanced techniques, such as Chaos Snap, Chaos Lance, and Chaos Blast. It can also reverse evil influence.
    • Chaos Snap: An enhanced version of Shadow's Chaos Attack, his kicks and punches being multiplied in power and speed due to Chaos energy. When performing this move, Shadow enters his Chaos Boost state and uses Chaos Control to warp between opponent where he lands several fierce hits on them.
    • Chaos Lance: The Chaos Lance is similar to the Chaos Spear, but pack much great power. When performing it, Shadow swings his right arm in mid-air and fires a long red energy bolt at his opponents that explodes upon impact.
  • Super Shadow: Using all the 7 Chaos Emeralds, Shadow archives this golden invincible state, tremendously boosting his stats and powers. Additionally, he can still use his previous transformations on top of this form
    • Chaos Arrow: A weaker version of the Super State-enhanced Chaos Spear, where Super Shadow fires small bolts of chaos energy at his opponents.
    • Spear of Light: An augmented version of the Chaos Spear technique, where Super Shadow releases several Projectiles at once that homes onto his opponent.
    • Super Sonic Boost: Super Shadow surrounds himself in a golden aura of Chaos Energy before ramming the target with incredible speed, resulting in a rather devastating impact.
