An emo hedgehog that appears in the Sonic games, who's debut was in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. He died, then was brought back to please rabid fangirls by a mysterious plot-hole.
He is now known as a gun wielding emo who doesn't give a rat's ass about life. He curses and stuff, and has daily flashbacks that are stupid and annoying. He is a very cliché character in all.
Shadow the Hedgehog is an emo recolour and should die.

Basically a black and red version of Sonic the Hedgehog. He is supposevly the Ultimate Life Form created by Professor Gerald(Eggman's Grandpa). He first appears in Sonic Adventure 2 where he has a bad case of amnesia and can't remember his purpose. He teams up with Eggman and Rouge the Bat to find all the emeralds. He calls Sonic a poser and makes him his rival until the end of the game where they all team up because the Space Colony ARK is gonna crash with earth. To kill huge thing, he becomes Hyper Shadow with the aid of the Chaos Emeralds. After Hyper Shadow and Super Sonic kill the Finalhazard, Shadow "dies" and falls to earth. Shadow appears again in Sonic Battle which is a version of Super Smash Bros only Sonic Style. Shadow isn't very important in this game though, as Emeral the Robot takes all the glory of beatin Eggman. In Sonic Heroes, Shadow teams up with Rough and Omega to form Team Dark to go after Eggman. In the end they find that Eggman is not the true enemy, but Metal Sonic is. So Team Dark teams up with Team Sonic(Sonic,Tails, and Knuckles), Team Rose(Amy,Cream and Big)and Team Chaotix(Espio,Charmy and Vector) to kill Metal Overloard and save the planet again.
Shadow the Hedgehog is waaay spiffier than Sonic the Hedgehog

Mary Sue that thinks that he's so badass, and has a bunch of blind fangirls, who think that he is theirs, when he and Rouge the Bat share love, and they are an official couple. To me, in my opinion they are a couple. I'm sorry if I offend anyone with this.
Shadow Fangirl (AKA Dumbass): SHADOW IS MINE!!111!one!!11!!!!111!ONE!! Rouge is just a titty slut!!11!1!!

Shadouge supporter (AKA Smart guy): No, he belongs to Rouge the bat, because they're actually moments of them sharing sexual emotion towards each other. Shadow the hedgehog is not yours, if he was, he would at least know your name.

A horribly misinterpreted and misrepresented Sonic character that Sega loves to hate.

Shadow debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Genesis and Nintendo Gamecube as the Ultimate Lifeform created 50+ years ago by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik on the Space Colony ARK. Though Shadow was designed to be a living weapon, his more secretive and primary purpose was to save the life of Professor Gerald's granddaughter, Maria, who was diagnosed with a very rare and life threatening disease. He never got to fulfill his purpose as G.U.N. suddenly shut down Project Shadow, and Maria was killed in the midst.

Despite his stoic and quiet front, Shadow is a very compassionate and lonely character. He's not an anti-hero or villain, but an ally who rivals Sonic's speed and skills. Rouge and Omega are his friends; he respects Sonic as an equal, if not a superior.

Unfortunately, with Sonic '06's massive failure, Sega decided to dumb down all of their characters and stories, and Shadow took the brunt of it, being shoved to the side and reduced to the joke his titular game presented him to be; a dark, angsty, over-the-top edge-lord loner who's too good for friends and hates Sonic because... reasons???
