* [[The Ageless]]: Most likely due to the genetic material contributed to Project Shadow by his biological "father," {{spoiler|Black Doom.}} The reason behind this was that Shadow's creator, Professor Gerald Robotnik, wanted to study immortality and use the fruits of his research to find a cure for his granddaughter (and Shadow's surrogate sister) Maria, as she was terminally ill and suffering from a fatal disease known as NIDS (Neuro-Immuno Deficiency Syndrome). |

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: He's a walking mini nuke with the power (depending on the number of chaos emeralds he has) to devastate cities and most fortresses. In Sonic X, this is played off better than the games, where he destroys entire fleets of space ships in one shot. |

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: [[I Was Just Passing Through|Seemingly pulls this]] off by intervening in a fight between [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (video game)|Sonic and Silver]] saving Sonic from a potentially fatal blow, offhandedly making sure he's ok, then fighting Silver in his place. That time, he had a very good reason besides this trope to save Sonic, as he deduced that Mephiles is intending to eliminate the past. Later on in the same game, he expresses silent remorse at {{spoiler|Sonic's death}}, but once he finds out that the Chaos Emeralds can undo this, immediately takes on the toughest challenges in order to retrieve the gems. |
