Line 9:
Shadow, Rouge, and E-123 Omega form a [[Power Trio]] known as "Team Dark", with its current and most common lineup first appearing in ''[[Sonic Heroes (Video Game)|Sonic Heroes]]''. They can be considered an [[Evil Counterpart]] to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)/Main Trio/Characters|Team Sonic]]. They do help save the world, but they each have their own reasons for doing so. They all currently work as G.U.N. agents.
 
* [[Anti -Hero|Anti-Heroes]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type]] depends on the character.
* [[Cast Herd]]: As of ''[[Sonic Heroes (Video Game)|Sonic Heroes]]'', they are rarely seen apart.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Psycho Rangers]]: To the Main Trio.
Line 20:
*** Superego: Omega (Possibly [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that he's a robot)
*** Ego (with Id traits): Rouge
* [[Five -Man Band|Three-Man Band]]
** [[The Hero|The Leader]] + [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]] + [[The Chick]]: Rouge
** [[The Lancer]]: Shadow
Line 42:
* [[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).
* [[Aloof Ally]]
* [[Anti -Anti -Christ]]: Shadow was created by Black Doom so as to aid him in conquering Earth. However, Shadow eventually went against said destiny and destroyed Black Doom.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: A [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type]] [[What the Hell, Hero?|IV]] or [[Good Is Not Nice|III]] example. Though it depends on the game and overall media. His levels vary in Sonic X and Archie.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: A [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Villains|Type II-III]] example in his debut appearance.
* [[Artificial Human]]: He's a genetically-engineered hedgehog.
* [[Badass]]
Line 72:
* [[Irony]]: Shadow hated GUN for killing Maria Robotnik; he now works for them.
* [[Informed Ability]]: He tends to be [[Fragile Speedster|fragile]], despite his [[Immortality]].
* [[Image Song]]: [[Sonic Adventure 2 (Video Game)|Throw It All Away]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|All Hail Shadow]], [[Sonic Adventure 2 (Video Game)|Rhythm and Balance, The Supernatural, Supporting Me,]] [["I Am" Song|I Am]] [[Shadow the Hedgehog|(All of Me)]], Almost [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Dead]], Waking [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Up]], Chosen [[Shadow the Hedgehog|One]], [[Golden Ending|Never]] [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Turn Back]], [[Cut Song|Who I]] [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Am]].
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Boku".
* [[Ki Attacks]]: His ability to manipulate Chaos energy allows him to do these. His Chaos Spear is a dual example of this and [[Shock and Awe]]. There's also his Chaos Blast, in which he either makes an [[Sphere of Destruction|explosion of Chaos Energy]] from his body <ref> As seen in ''[[Sonic Battle]]'', ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'', ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'' and ''[[Sonic and The Black Knight]]''</ref>, or shoots out a concentrated version through his hands <ref> as seen in ''[[Sonic Battle]]'' and ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]''</ref>.
Line 82:
* [[Nineties Anti Hero]]: He's always sort of leaned on it (his name and color scheme being pretty harsh and a vengeful personality) but he dives in full-on for his own game (guns, swearing, and motorcycle riding galore).
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Less of this in Sonic X, but mostly this in the video games and Archie comics where wangst and compassion can be frequent.
* [[One -Man Army]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: You'll only see him either frowning, indifferent, or smirking. That is, until ''[[Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games (Video Game)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', where you can catch him smiling if he does well at an event.
* [[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.
Line 89:
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: Despite appearing to be the same age as Sonic, he's over fifty years old.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: He's the red to [[The Hero|Sonic's]] blue.
* [[The Rival]]
* [[Rollerblade Good]]: He moves using rocket skates.
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can|Sealed Evil]] -> [[Sealed Good in A Can|Anti-Hero in a Can]]: He was held in suspended animation in Prison Island after GUN raided the ARK. True to form, Eggman releases him.
** Happens again in after [[Sonic Adventure 2 (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure 2]], but in ''[[Sonic Heroes (Video Game)|Sonic Heroes]]'', Rouge releases him.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: He pulled this on Black Doom and Mephiles, when they tried to get him to join their causes.
* [[Signature Move]]: Chaos Control
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Only in [[Shadow the Hedgehog|his own game]].
Line 131:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Shares one with Knuckles after he saves her from falling into the lava pit in ''Sonic Adventure 2''. Also shares one with Shadow in Sonic Battle after letting him [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|pass the night in her house]] so he could recover from a fight.
* [[Anti -Hero|Anti-Heroine]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV or Type V.]]
* [[Heroes Want Redheads|Anti-Heroines Want Redheads]]: [[Word of God|Her (apparent) crush on Knuckles]] proves this.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: [[Word of God|Shadow]] too, apparently.
Line 152:
* [[Foil]]: To Shadow (revealed in Sonic Battle) and Knuckles; but her cool, sarcastic personality contrasts with Knuckles' straightforward, [[Hot Blooded]] personality.
* [[Greed]]
* [[Guile Hero|Guile]] [[Anti -Hero|Anti-Heroine]]
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]
* [[Hot Amazon]]
Line 176:
* [[The Vamp]][[Just for Pun|-ire Bat]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: To Shadow and Knuckles.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl|White Furred Pretty Girl]]
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: In ''Sonic X'', during her fight with Tails, she never injures him directly and defeats him with a kiss.
 
Line 193:
 
* [[Absentee Actor]]: Was strangely absent from ''[[Sonic Riders|Sonic Free Riders]]'' as Team Dark's "Power", instead being replaced with an egg-shaped robot known as E-10000B {{spoiler|who is actually Metal Sonic in disguise}}.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type V.]] Possibly Type IV in [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]], seeing how he also expresses regret when it was revealed that he was the one who sealed Shadow away, and it was implied to be against his will.
* [[Arm Cannon]]: One that has ''many'' weapons in it.
** [[Gatling Good]]
Line 203:
* [[The Big Guy]]: He's considered the "Power" of Team Dark.
* [[Beta Test Baddie]]
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: He seems to consider himself an evil force, since he taunts Eggman by claiming that Team Dark will "show him what true evil is".
* [[Crush Kill Destroy]]: Particularly in [[Sonic Heroes]]. He spouts off the below lines when delivering his basic three-attack combo:
{{quote| ''"ANNIHILATION! CHARGE! FIRE!"''}}
* [[Do -Anything Robot]]: He has a weapon built in for ''[[Crazy Prepared|any]]'' situation.
* [[Expy]]: In ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'', Bioware patterned Omega after another of their [[Robotic Psychopath|Robotic Psychopaths]], [[Knights of the Old Republic|HK-47]].
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Watashi".
Line 223:
* [[Splash Damage]]: One of the big reasons to try and unlock Omega in Chronicles. His normal attack is a missile, which not only damages the main target, but does damage to enemies adjacent to the target as well.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Omega has been on both sides of this trope. He replaced E-102 Gamma from [[Sonic Adventure (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure]] (although Gamma was nowhere near as much of a [[Killer Robot]]), and he was replaced by E-10000 B in [[Sonic Free Riders]].
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Combines this with [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]] during the [[Limit Break|Team Blast]] in ''[[Sonic Heroes (Video Game)|Heroes]]''.
 
 
Line 238:
 
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Inverted; he was intended to be a [[Killer Robot]], but ended up turning good.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Started out as a [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Villains|Type I Anti Villain]] before his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Arm Cannon]]
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Eggman rebuilt Gamma to be more loyal to him in ''[[Sonic Battle]]''. He pulls another [[Heel Face Turn]] after Cream reasons with him.
Line 271:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti -Villain]]: {{spoiler|At first...}}
* [[The Atoner]]: One half of the reason for her [[Heel Face Turn]]--see below for the other.
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
Line 278:
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Laser Blade]]: One of her attacks.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Found out in a conversation branch in the start of Chapter 6 that she's really 4000 years old. Due to the [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]] physics of the Twilight Cage, however, she is likely not much older than the others physically.
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Somewhat; she engages in friendly conversation with her comrades, but isn't exactly much for emotions.
* [[There Is Another]]
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: She merely wants her people to return to Earth, though she abides by Ix's rather ruthless measures for doing so, going through with his invasion plans and brutal attempted execution of Sonic and Knuckles directly before he reveals his not-so well intentioned afterplans.
 
 
Line 297:
* [[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: Implied in the final ending.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't threaten the Chao. '''Ever'''. Just don't. You've been warned.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Eggman in Sonic Adventure. Elevates to [[Dragon -in -Chief]] after Eggman loses his grip on Chaos' reins and Perfect Chaos is realized.
** [[Dragon With an Agenda]]: He was in league with Eggman the whole time just to get a hold of the Chaos Emeralds.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: He has no real role in ''[[Sonic Battle]]'''s plot; his appearance is just for the sake of having Emerl copy skills from him.
Line 308:
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Especially Perfect Chaos.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Has ''seven'' of these, each one stronger than the last, the transformations for which occur every time he absorbs a Chaos Emerald.
** [[The Unfought]]: Chaos 1.
** [[The Unseen]]: Chaos 3 and 5, due to him absorbing two emeralds at once.
Line 342:
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: Jet hates being pitied.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Storm, again.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Jet's [[Paper Fan of Doom|Paper Fans Of Doom]] when fully powered up.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Storm.
* [[Feathered Fiend|Feathered Fiends]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Wave.
* [[Gravity Master]]: Jet's gravity control in ''Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity''.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Jet is voiced by [[Naruto|Tobi]], of all people.
* [[Big Bad|The Leader]]: Jet
* [[Informed Ability]]: Whether or not the Rogues can fly withour their extreme Gear is... unclear.
Line 356:
* [[Multicolored Hair|Multicolored Feathers]]
* [[The Napoleon]]: Jet.
* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]: Take a good look at Wave's victory animation when you finish a race on a standard board in ''Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity''.
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Jet uses these to attack other riders.
* [[Power Crutch]]: Jet can only be considered Sonic's rival because of Extreme Gear. Without it, he's probably nowhere near as fast.
