Line 48:
* [[Badass]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't harm his friends, whether it be [[Dead Little Sister|Maria]] or any of his teammates.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Mostly centered around [[Worthy Opponent|Sonic]], but as shown with his quip about Solaris in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'', he loves a good fight if he considers it as strong or stronger as he is.
* [[Breakout Character]]: Got a [[Story Arc]] centered around him even though he was originally meant to appear only in his debut.
* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]: Before she died, Shadow and Maria were a non-romantic version of this.
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|Throw It All Away]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||All Hail Shadow]], [[Sonic Adventure 2|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>
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Was never a villain (even at his debut) but he is most certainly this for the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise. Almost anything concerning Shadow is grimly serious and a harsh turn away from the jovial attitude the main protagonist embodies.
* [[The Lancer]]: Even though he's the most recognizable of Team Dark, he functions as this to Rouge, at least in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and in the Archie comics, according to [[Word of God]].
* [[Large Ham]]: Mostly in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''. He engages in some [[Ham-to-Ham Combat]] with Mephiles in the latter.
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Some of his stronger attacks, such as Chaos Blast, are colored red, red stripes surround his body, and Chaos Boost also gives him a red-tint aura.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He's nearly as strong and durable as Knuckles, and, with his skates, is able to be just as fast as Sonic. He has to be. He was created as the Ultimate Lifeform after all. Goes [[Up To Eleven]] as Super Shadow, or by taking off his Inhibitor rings.
Line 84:
* [[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 Atat Thethe Olympic Games|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.
* [[Power Limiter]]: His Inhibitor Rings.
Line 109:
* [[Teleport Spam]]
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Between ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Sonic and The Black Knight]]'', he was voiced by [[Jason Griffith|the same guy who voiced Sonic]].
* [[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.
** He also does this in the Archie comics, by literally throwing Sonic out of a hazardous area to safety, when Sonic was injured and cannot run.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Chaos Control.
Line 175:
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Her standard outfit, complete with [[Impossibly Low Neckline]].
** Her ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' outfit has a [[Cleavage Window]] instead.
* [[The Tease]]: She sarcastically flirts with the following characters - Knuckles, Shadow, Dr. Eggman, Tails, and Sonic (though [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic 2006's]] "official" [[All There in the Manual|Prima Game Guide]] states that she has [[Love Triangle|feelings for Shadow and Knuckles]])
* [[The Vamp]][[Just for Pun|-ire Bat]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: To Shadow and Knuckles.
Line 195:
 
* [[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 239:
An intelligent creation of Dr. Robotnik's who is convinced by Amy to rebel against his creator thanks to the memories of the bird trapped inside, and who goes on to liberate those trapped in the other E-Series robots.
 
* [[AIA.I. 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]]
Line 302:
** [[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.
* [[Doing inIn the Wizard]]: The games seem to portray him as an actual deity that the Echidnas worshipped, even though Sonic Channel confirmed he is just a mutated Chao.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: His true form. It look almost exactly like [[Godzilla|Biollante]] but fewer tentacles, and being made of water instead of plant-materia.
** Chaos is supposedly a Chao that was mutated eons ago. If that is the case, it has always been an [[Eldritch Abomination]].
